Chapter 80 What if we break up in the future...
"The mineral reserves are huge, and they haven't been fully explored yet, but they will definitely be available in a few years. We can slowly mine them!"
Sang Luo's eyes sparkled, "Quick, quick, quick! We found it first, circle it up quickly! Don't make it easier for others to do something!"
Lan Cang rubbed her head and smiled, "Okay, why didn't I realize you were such a money-grubber before?"
"It's all for you and your future cubs! I don't want them to have to endure a hard life in this icy and snowy place with you right after they're born. Of course, I have to save some money for them in advance!"
"Child?" Lan Cang was stunned and reached out to touch her belly. "Are you pregnant?"
Sang Luo slapped his hand away and said coquettishly, "No, it won't happen so soon. If you want a child, you have to work hard on your own."
Lan Cang stammered, "It's still early, there's no rush."
Sang Luo glared at him, "You really don't want it? I still want to try some new positions with you tonight..."
Lan Cang's ears were almost red. He hugged Sang Luo into his arms, clasped her little head against his chest, and begged in a low voice, "There are so many outsiders watching us!" His low and seductive voice was filled with lust that could not be concealed, rubbing her heart, "...We'll talk about it when we get back."
At the same time, he turned his head and lowered his voice, ordering his orcs to surround the mine.
It’s time to expand the territory of Icebreaking City.
On the way back, the night was deep and the wind was howling. Lan Cang took off his cloak and draped it over Sang Luo. "Luoluo, how did you discover the mineral source?"
Sang Luo nuzzled into his arms and said, "One of my innate abilities, the Eye of Image Breaking, I used to think it was used to break illusions, but now I realize it's actually a treasure hunting skill."
There are many precious mineral resources hidden under the ground of the Northern Continent, but either the mining is too difficult or the location of the mine is difficult to find... Her talent is simply a bug-level timely help.
The mined ore can be used by the orcs in the city, and can also be sold to other cities and continents for generous rewards, which can be used for city construction and traded to purchase more supplies, such as food.
Food is extremely scarce in the Northern Continent. Meat is okay, but there are really no vegetables. If you want to buy vegetables, you can only buy them from other border cities or the continent, which are extremely expensive. Most orcs can't afford to eat at all and can only drink nutrient solution to barely survive, but females and cubs generally don't like to drink nutrient solution. Many cubs in the city look a little thin and malnourished.
Sang Luo's calculations were clattering. "How about this? I'll help you find the mineral source, and you'll be responsible for mining. After we're done, we'll split the profits 50-50."
"What's mine is yours, you can take it all."
"Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly. If we ever have a falling out, it's better to settle the bill!"
"I'm not as reliable as the bill?" Lan Cang bit her lips lightly in anger, then smiled helplessly and said, "Alright."
He could see that she had a budding desire to do business.
Within two days, nearby cities also heard the news about the fire mine and mobilized to come and dig.
There is strength in numbers. A city actually dug up a small mine near the Ice Breaking City Mine and mined out several hundred kilograms of fire ore.
The competition started so quickly.
The first bird to stand out must not be outdone by those who come later!
For the rest of the days, Sang Luo and Lan Cang took their men to search for mineral resources everywhere.
The mining of mineral resources is extremely difficult. The small town that successfully dug out the mineral resources can only be said to have been lucky. The subsequent digging was extremely tiring.
Many small cities invested far more manpower and material resources than they gained, and were forced to abandon their plans after just a few days because their income was not enough to cover their expenses.
Only a few large cities still have the energy to continue exploring for mineral resources.
However, they had no natural skills and could not find out the exact location of the mineral source, so they could only dig in the dark. On the other hand, the Ice Breaking City dug out one after another, and discovered several large mines in succession, making other cities jealous.
When a large city with strong combat power wanted to intercept it halfway, Lan Cang had already set an ambush and took it down in one fell swoop.
If you are lucky, you can also obtain a new fiefdom.
The two sides cooperated and were invincible.
The territory of Icebreaking City also expanded rapidly in just a few months. With the lucrative profits from mining, it recruited soldiers and became a new force that emerged in the northern continent.
Sang Luo had done everything he could and could only help Lan Cang up to this point.
It's time to say goodbye to him.
That day, Sang Luo rushed back from outside and saw several strong young orcs moving boxes of things into the mansion.
The handsome yellow-haired orc in the lead saw her coming, his eyes lit up, and he walked swiftly to her side, "Madam, long time no see, I didn't expect to see you again!"
Sang Luo was suspicious. She had never seen him before, or maybe she had seen so many orcs that she had forgotten. So she smiled and greeted him, "Hello."
The orc scratched his head shyly. "I'm Asa. I followed Brother Lancang when we were in the Western Continent. I went on a mission a while ago and just got back. I heard that you were coming too, Madam, so I hurried over to say hello."
As he spoke, he sighed again, "Brother Lancang once said that he would only have one partner in his life. After parting with you, he had a bout of genetic mania. He would rather take inhibitors that are harmful to his body than look for another female."
"I was originally worried about how he would live the rest of his life. Now that you're back, Madam, I'm relieved. Lan Cang has suffered for half his life, and finally got what he wanted."
"..." Sang Luo felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. She had no idea that he had suffered so much behind the scenes.
He turned his eyes to look at the piles of boxes in the yard, "What are you carrying?"
"The city lord asked us to move it back here, ma'am, please open it and take a look."
When Sang Luo opened it, he couldn't help laughing. It wasn't a rare thing, but it was considered a rare thing in the Northern Continent. There were a lot of fresh vegetables and meat, and a variety of ingredients.
This man's intention is to capture her heart, so he must first capture her stomach.
"Since Madam's arrival, Icebreaker City's revenue this month is more than all the previous years combined! The lives of the orcs in the city have also improved steadily. Every household can now eat fresh vegetables, and they no longer need to drink nutritional supplements. The females in my family are so happy, and the cubs have become much fatter."
"I'm glad to be able to help."
Lan Cang came over and said, "Didn't I tell you before? I've researched a lot of dishes, but I haven't had time to cook them for you yet. Today I finally have the chance."
Sang Luo touched his stomach and said with a playful smile, "I'm just hungry. Please, Cang Cang, show me your skills. I'm just waiting to be fed~"
"Just take a rest, dinner will be served soon."
Lan Cang took the ingredients to the kitchen.
Sang Luo watched him skillfully handling the ingredients in front of the stove, cutting vegetables, chopping meat, taking the food out of the wok, heating oil... Just watching him, her mood became very good.
Being with a pleasing and handsome man, without having to do anything, is the ultimate enjoyment.
Lan Cang had indeed grown a lot taller, probably about 1.95 meters. Before, she could barely reach his shoulders, but now her height only reached his chest. He could easily hold her in his arms.
Sang Luo walked over and hugged his thin waist from behind.
"Cangcang, I have something to tell you..."
