Although Shen Yunting and the other person weren't exactly on edge, people always feel a bit nervous when they're doing something wrong, or rather, when they're doing something that's not exactly honorable.
That's the state they're in right now.
It's not to the point of being paranoid, but it's also impossible to be as carefree as at home.
Fortunately, after about half an hour, Shen Xingmian woke up and, somewhat listlessly, led them back into the space.
Shen Xingmian threw herself onto the large bed, having completely exhausted her supernatural abilities.
Unfortunately, the iron content in the vicinity was too high, which made her lose control and accidentally go too far.
Seeing her like that, Shen Yunting immediately picked up the water glass from the bedside table, helped her up, and fed her the water.
Shen Xingmian felt a little better after drinking the drink, but she still felt she needed to catch up on her sleep. Before she could tell her mother, her eyelids drooped and she fell asleep.
Shen Yunting thought something had happened to her, but then she heard her incredibly even breathing and realized that she was just exhausted and needed to sleep and rest.
The two quietly left the room, intending to continue digging potatoes in the field, but when they passed the place where Shen Xingmian had placed the bricks, they were almost startled.
If the number of iron bricks was originally only enough to make arrowheads, now it's enough to forge a new sword for every soldier in the entire army!
They had only just entered the mine; they hadn't even reached the actual ore-mining area yet, and they had already amassed so much.
The two exchanged a glance, both feeling a surge of excitement. Looking at the neatly stacked iron bricks, they were overjoyed and couldn't help but lean over and touch them again and again.
"If Father were here, I don't know how happy he would be." Shen Yunting knew her father best and knew how much effort he had put into the Northern Army.
"Then let's go back and give him a huge surprise." Luo Qi'an smiled warmly.
"Good! Father has worked hard all his life, it's time for him to experience the joy of getting something for nothing. It's just that our daughter will have to suffer."
As her mother, I haven't done anything for her, only enjoyed all the benefits she brought me. I always feel a little guilty about that.
Shen Yunting's tone was somewhat wistful.
"Is that why you're so eager to dig potatoes?" Luo Qi'an asked, his tone unusually teasing.
However, Shen Yunting did not feel offended at all. She only felt that her husband was really considerate. Before she even had time to start feeling melancholy, he cured her with just one sentence.
Shen Yunting is not a person who likes to overthink. She doesn't even like to think and always acts on her intuition.
She would never have these little emotional outbursts if it weren't for her precious daughter.
Luo Qi'an liked her just the way she was. Many people would think she was reckless, but he only thought she was genuine and cute.
It doesn't matter whether other people like it or not; it's his wife, and he's happy with her.
The two of them did not have the authority to enter and exit the space on their own, and could only wait for Shen Xingmian to wake up. They had always overlooked this inconvenience and had not noticed it at all.
Anyway, there's everything inside, so even if their daughter stays asleep, they won't go thirsty or hungry.
Shen Xingmian, still asleep, felt uneasy. She suddenly realized that if she overused her powers and her body had problems, and she never woke up, would her parents be locked up in the space forever?
She had never considered this possibility before, because the probability was so small that it was practically impossible.
But Murphy's Law made her feel that once she realized the problem and didn't look for a solution, the worst-case scenario would most likely happen someday in the future.
No, she had to find a way to get them a "key" to the space.
The thought quickly faded, and she fell back into a deep sleep, even though it was futile to try to grasp that last bit of consciousness.
When she woke up, she only remembered that she seemed to have thought of something, but she couldn't remember what it was.
It's probably not an important thing.
She couldn't wait to see the results of her labor, even though her labor was all static.
The results far exceeded her expectations. Mainly because the nearby ore had already been transported away, and what remained were ore with relatively low content. She really didn't expect to have such a big harvest.
If it could directly absorb ore, how efficient would it be!
I'm so excited just thinking about it!
Shen Xingmian was overjoyed and completely forgot about the doubts that had been lingering in her mind. She went straight to her parents, wanting to share her joy.
"Daddy, Mommy, I'm so amazing, oh my god!" She jumped into her mother's arms like a happy little bird.
Shen Yunting was still digging potatoes, his hands covered in dirt, so he could only open his arms and catch her with his body.
Fortunately, the force wasn't too great, otherwise the mother and daughter would have fallen into the pile of potatoes together.
"Yes, yes, our Mianmian is amazing!" Shen Yunting praised her sincerely.
"I've fully recovered. Let's go out again. I'm sure I can get more back this time than last time. You've improved so quickly."
Shen Xingmian was very happy. Results were important, but the improvement in the process was even more important. She had simply come to a treasure trove to improve her metal-type superpowers!
The mouse fell into the rice jar and was overjoyed.
The three of them changed their clothes and set off. That's the trouble with winter. The temperature difference between the inside and outside of the space is too great. You have to keep putting on and taking off clothes when you go in and out, which is quite a hassle.
It was four o'clock in the afternoon when she went out, almost dinnertime, which shouldn't have been very safe. But Shen Xingmian didn't want to just wait around; her supernatural abilities were plentiful, and she was eager to use them up as soon as possible.
The deeper she went into the mine, the higher her absorption efficiency became, making it difficult for her to suppress the desire in her heart.
After walking forward for a while, leaving the empty area, and heading to the next suitable location to operate, Shen Xingmian immediately felt the obvious difference as soon as he started.
She can now manipulate a wider range of metallic particles, and at a faster speed.
Take a deep breath, calm yourself down, focus on what you need to do, and don't get distracted.
Shen Yunting and Luo Qi'an stood guard beside her, gradually realizing that something was wrong; the sounds coming from inside seemed to be getting closer and closer.
There were no lights here. The mine entrance was far away, so no light could get in. It was pitch black, and they couldn't see anything. They could only rely on their hearing to judge the situation.
When they realized that several people were approaching, the two of them were not nervous or flustered. Compared to what they had experienced before, what they were facing was nothing.
The only thing that worried them was that their daughter might get accidentally injured during the fight.
They were getting closer and closer; the sound of wheels rolling on the ground and the heavy footsteps of people could be heard together.
No one was chatting, and the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive and dull.
