Chen Yang never expected that Xiao Hei would actually report a piece of raw jade ore.
Chen Yang had seen raw jade ore. Although he didn't have a keen eye for identifying jade, he could confirm that it was indeed jade, and that it was of very high quality.
The three looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Would you call this a major discovery?" Li Su'er asked.
Chen Yang was also stumped by this question. In the real world, this would indeed be a great discovery, but in the micro-world, it seems that raw jade ore has no special use for them at present.
Jade is still just a stone, only it's more beautiful, but people these days don't really care much about aesthetics.
"Let Xiao Hei take us to see it."
Chen Yang took out a piece of beef jerky, dipped it in honey, and handed it to Xiao Hei. This unexpected delight made Xiao Hei ecstatic, and after finishing the jerky, it jumped around happily.
Chen Yang asked it to lead the way to where it had found the stone. Xiao Hei quickly understood what Chen Yang meant and happily led them to a mountain wall. Then, while digging among the rocks, it unearthed another piece of ore.
After a careful inspection, Chen, Yang, and the other two finally confirmed that there was indeed a jade mine here.
This left them both amused and exasperated; they hadn't found any metal ore, but had instead found jade ore, and they didn't know whether to be happy or not.
"Make a note of this place. Take a few pieces of raw ore back with you. Even if you don't have the tools to polish them, they can still be displayed as decorations."
They built a few pieces of raw ore that looked pretty good, and then continued towards the Xindu camp.
On the day that Chen Yang and the other two were about to return to the camp, Grandpa Yun's son finally came over. It was Grandpa Yun who gave his son the spot.
Grandpa Yun's son, Yun Hu, is a remarkable man. Although he didn't join the military, he knows many people in the military and runs a military equipment business. He has connections with many high-ranking officials and is a low-profile big shot.
However, the old man always spoke ill of his son, describing him as a bandit, all brawn and no brains. But the others in the micro-realm spoke highly of Yun Hu after meeting him.
Chen Yang and his group carried several jars of honey, some meat, and frozen meat, which slowed their pace considerably, but they still managed to spot the Xindu campsite just as it was getting dark.
The fires inside the camp stood out in the darkness, giving a sense of warmth.
When they approached the camp, everyone came out to greet them, because Chen Yang had lit torches and everyone had already spotted them.
Welcome back.
Jiang Yining gave the three of them a hug.
Everyone crowded around the three of them as they entered the Xindu camp. Apart from Hou Yu's family, everyone else was gathered there. Xiao Chenliu, who had gone to the island to play, also returned with Wang Qin.
"How about that? Aren't you touched and warmed?" Ye Wu said proudly.
Chen Yang nodded and then said, "That was true before, but now that you say it, I don't feel it anymore."
Ye Wu ignored all of that and instead began to look at what Chen Yang and his group had gained from their trip.
"Oh, there are rabbits! We'll have rabbit meat for dinner tonight."
After Ye Wu finished speaking, Chen Yang turned to look at Li Su'er and said, "See? This guy has lost his boyish heart."
Li Su'er nodded in approval, then handed the rabbit and basket to Xu Meng, entrusting her with its care.
Then came the honey they brought back. Several jars of honey made everyone's eyes light up, and everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they saw the honey.
“There’s another treasure,” Chen Yang said with a smile.
"What else? Did you find a metal mine?" Guo Zifeng asked expectantly.
Chen Yang shook his head, and then Hong Gui took off the basket from his back and lifted the leaves they had deliberately used to cover it.
The raw jade ore revealed its true form; the firelight made it sparkle and shine brilliantly, instantly captivating everyone with its beauty.
"This is fine jade. It looks like Southern Red Agate."
Grandpa Yun recognized the origin of the stone at a glance.
"It's fine jade, but it's useless to us," Chen Yang said helplessly.
They lack the capacity to process these materials, and even if they did, they would only have the function of wearing them, and they wouldn't be able to change their lives like metal mines do.
"Then let's use it for decoration. Jade reflects light, which will brighten the camp," Jiang Yining said with a smile.
Chen Yang laughed and said, "Let's throw a few more into our new house to decorate it, make it a little more luxurious, we have plenty of money anyway."
The jade mine wasn't particularly far from the camp; one could even make a round trip on horseback in a single day. So they could lavishly use the finest raw jade for decoration, or even as padding.
Chen Yang also noticed a silent middle-aged man in the crowd. He walked up to him and extended his hand. "Hello, you must be Yun Shi's father. I am Chen Yang."
Yun Hu looked Chen Yang up and down before extending his hand and saying, "Just call me Yun Hu or Brother Yun. You are my father's apprentice, which means you are my peer."
Chen Yang nodded and said, "Then I won't stand on ceremony. Brother Yun, are you adapting well to life in the Micro World?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Hu glanced around and said, "I don't feel comfortable; it's like a dream."
This is Yun Hu's first day in the micro-world. It would be abnormal if he got used to it. If his father and son weren't here, he might even think he had been kidnapped.
He also learned that Chen Yang was the true center of the micro-world, and that he was the genius boy his father had always talked about.
To be honest, he was jealous of Chen Yang. Who wouldn't be jealous when their own father approves of someone else? So he was also observing Chen Yang.
Chen Yang controls the terrifying resources of the Micro-World. If he were truly a wicked person, he would definitely find a way to help the country eliminate this alien.
Judging from the current situation, Chen Yang is not bad. He seems to be just an ordinary young man. It's hard to believe that he actually possesses a world.
Yun Hu, having long been in contact with soldiers, has a different way of thinking than others; he immediately saw the immense value hidden behind the micro-world. Moreover, Chen Yang's ability to connect with the real world makes it even more dangerous.
We must ensure he doesn't do anything detrimental to the country. This is Yunhu's idea.
Chen Yang had no idea what Yun Hu was thinking; he simply felt that the Microverse had gained another powerful general. However, he was also beginning to realize the Microverse's population problem.
If this continues, their development speed may not be able to keep up with the population growth rate of the micro-world. Moreover, the more people there are, the harder it will be to maintain the current state of everyone revolving around him as the population increases.
Chen Yang wasn't actually very controlling; he enjoyed developing the micro-world more than ordering people around. However, if there were too many people, disagreements would inevitably arise within the micro-world, hindering its development.
He didn't want to spend all his energy resolving conflicts. And now that Wang Bing was temporarily unable to enter the micro-world, without a butler-like figure like him, Chen Yang's workload suddenly increased significantly.
Perhaps we should discuss this with everyone and then consider controlling the population of the micro-realm.
