Enforcement Card
After starting the mining system, a huge transparent panel opened in front of Su Yanxi. The panel was large, but the content was not much. It was divided into three major sections: personal information, exchange, and achievements.
Clicking on the personal information, Su Yanxi's name, age, personality, mental strength, family background, relationships, and all property appeared on the panel.
Looking at the system's description of her, Su Yanxi was furious.
"Am I arrogant? Do I think too highly of myself?" She questioned, pointing at the personality column. Then, she pointed down to the relationship section. "Am I the unloved little one at home?!"
Su Yanxi angrily poked the panel with her finger, and she would not give up until the system gave her an explanation.
[Host, don't be red-hot, these are the facts, you have to accept them...]
"Heh, the person described by the system is obviously not me. Go find this arrogant and unloved poor thing to mine for you!" Su Yanxi turned her face away and sulked.
[……]
Why did this host go on strike at the slightest disagreement? The system felt that its fate was miserable.
The hosts of other systems all happily accepted the system binding and completed the tasks diligently, but with him, they had to beg the host to do the tasks.
"I'll change it, I'll change it, alright." The system said helplessly.
At Su Yanxi's request, all personal information was completely revised.
Age: No matter how much you ask a girl’s age, she will always be eighteen!
Personality: A girl as warm as the sun.
Character Relationship: The group's favorite! A heartthrob!
[……]This host’s filter for himself is thicker than a three-story building!
[Read on, host.] The system, fearing its own failure, modified the code against its conscience. Even the code would blush at the exaggerated descriptions!
Satisfied, Su Yanxi clicked on the exchange button. There seemed to be a lot of items available for exchange, but only three cards were lit, while the others were locked with small black locks. The three lit cards were three types of pickaxes.
[Wooden Pickaxe: 5 points
Stone Pickaxe: 10 points
Iron Pickaxe: 20 points]
There is a line of small words at the bottom of the page: If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. Hurry up and choose the tools you like!
Su Yanxi felt the system was truly hypocritical. The points balance displayed in the upper right corner was only 5 points. Was there any choice? She had no choice and bought a wooden pickaxe.
After the purchase, nothing happened.
"Where's my pickaxe?"
[Host, the wooden pickaxe has been placed in the backpack. Please enter the mining area to check.]
Along with the system's voice, the four big words "Enter the Mining Area" were flashing on a wooden arrow in the lower left corner.
Su Yanxi pointed her finger, and a gentle white light spread out from her fingertips, wrapping her whole body. When the white light faded away, the environment around her had changed drastically.
She came from her clean bedroom to an unfamiliar mining area.
Within the mining area stood a pitch-black mine, approximately three meters tall and conical in shape, with a circumference roughly the same. In front of the mine, there was a small area for Yun Wan to maneuver, the ground being rocky. The area surrounding the mine was a thick, inky black, with zero visibility, making it impossible to discern anything within the darkness.
Su Yanxi was about to explore the area around the mine, but after taking only two steps, he was blocked by an invisible wall of air.
"What's going on?" Su Yanxi asked the system.
[The host's level is too low and only owns one mine. Once the level is raised, you will have the authority to explore more mines. For more information, click "Mine Owner" to view it.]
Su Yanxi did as he was told. After clicking on the mine owner, a pop-up window with mine information appeared.
[Mine owner: Su Yanxi (Shen Yunian X)
Mine Level: Lv.0 (Black Crystal Mine 1)
Items: 1 wooden pickaxe (durability 50), 10-slot backpack (stackable)
Mining speed: 100%
Critical Hit Rate: 0%
Special properties: None]
"Chen Yunian? The person you originally wanted to bind to?" Su Yanxi noticed the crossed-out name after her name, which looked like a man.
[Yes. ]
Su Yanxi: He is so lucky that he doesn’t have to be forced to mine!
Su Yanxi took out a wooden pickaxe from his backpack and weighed it in his hand. The pickaxe was very light, pitch black, and the surface was very clean, without any splinters. It was also coated with wood lacquer, and there were no other patterns, just the most common annual ring patterns.
"System, what is the method for exchanging mining for enforcement cards?"
[Mining for up to five hours will result in a mandatory execution card.]
Su Yanxi: ...
She felt like she was losing out. She had to mine for five hours before she could redeem a compulsory execution card, forcing others to mine for an hour.
Is he torturing others or torturing her?
"Can I change my mind now?" she asked.
[Host, once you enter the mining area, you must mine for five hours before you can leave.]
A transparent time bar runs across the top of the panel. As time passes, the time bar turns light yellow. On the left and right sides of the time bar is a card with the words "Forced Execution Card" written on it.
“You’re cruel!”
Su Yanxi gritted his teeth and started mining angrily.
The wooden pickaxe was light and she swung it effortlessly. "Dong Dong Dong", a piece of black crystal fell and the backpack quickly picked it up automatically. "Dong Dong Dong", another piece of black crystal fell and the backpack continued to pick it up.
Su Yanxi was digging attentively in the front, while her backpack was picking up the trash behind her. Listening to the crisp "dong dong" sound was quite relaxing. Even when the wooden pickaxe ran out of durability, she still felt a little unsatisfied.
Use a wooden pickaxe to obtain 17 black crystals. Each time you dig out a black crystal, you need to knock it three times, which is equivalent to 50 knocks for the 50 durability of the wooden pickaxe.
The wooden pickaxe ran out of durability and turned into ashes in Su Yanxi's hands, but only a few dozen minutes had passed in the stipulated five hours and she couldn't go out yet. Instead of doing nothing inside, she might as well continue mining.
She has already begun to feel the joy of mining.
Mining in the system is different from mining in reality. Her clothes won't get dirty, it's not hot inside the mine, and she hasn't sweated after working for so long, so she won't smell of sweat.
She didn't like mining because it was a job for common people, dirty and tiring, and not in line with the aristocracy. However, if mining could be made so elegant, then a little digging wouldn't hurt.
"System, where can I exchange the pickaxe?" Su Yanxi asked proactively.
[Host can click on the upper right corner to redeem and view.]
The mine information panel pops up, and the two gilded words "Exchange" flash in the upper right corner.
When I clicked on it, it was the same panel I had seen before. The three pickaxes were still on the panel, but the score in the upper right corner had changed from 0 to 17.
The number of points is equal to the number of black crystals, and one black crystal is equal to one point.
This time, he was still 3 points short of the points needed to exchange for an iron pickaxe, so he could only exchange it for a stone pickaxe. Su Yanxi exchanged for a stone pickaxe. This pickaxe was more expensive and definitely better than the wooden pickaxe.
After the exchange was completed, Su Yanxi checked the properties of the stone pickaxe in the "Mine Owner" panel. The durability of the stone pickaxe is 150, which is three times higher than that of the wooden pickaxe, and the price is only twice as expensive as that of the wooden pickaxe, which is indeed more cost-effective.
Summon a stone pickaxe. Similarly, the surface of the stone pickaxe is polished very smoothly, feels cold, and is a gray rock color. It is not as beautiful as the wooden pickaxe and is a little heavier than the wooden pickaxe.
However, its durability makes up for these minor shortcomings.
After getting the new tools, Su Yanxi continued mining. He swung the pickaxe 150 times in a row, and his wrist began to ache.
There is a price to pay for getting 50 durability for free. This time, the further she dug, the heavier the pickaxe felt.
Stone pickaxes are more suitable for people with great strength, but not for girls like her who have never done heavy work and have poor physical fitness.
When the points increased to 57, Su Yanxi could exchange for a better iron pickaxe. An iron pickaxe was definitely not as heavy as a stone pickaxe. She couldn't wait to exchange for an iron pickaxe. The durability of the iron pickaxe increased to 250. Although it was not as cost-effective as a stone pickaxe, it was much lighter and weighed the same as a wooden pickaxe, making mining easier for her.
Su Yanxi decisively chose the more cost-effective pickaxe.
She glanced at the time above the panel and saw that half of the time had passed. She planned to take a break and study how to use the mining system.
"System, are those locked items behind the iron pickaxe also various types of pickaxes?" Su Yanxi asked.
"It's all there, all sorts of things. There's a lot of stuff, host. You'll know once you unlock it."
Suppressing her curiosity, she continued to check the panel information. After clicking around, she found that the mine level could be opened, and after clicking it, the upgrade requirements would be displayed.
[Lv0 (Black Crystal Mine 1) Lv1 (Black Crystal Mine 2, Blue Crystal Mine 1): Unlock by recruiting a miner]
After resting for half an hour, Su Yanxi basically understood how to use the mining system. Her own mining should only be in the early stage. In the later stage, miners will be the main force of mining, so the upgrade conditions will be related to miners.
After the break, Su Yanxi took the time to mine, using up two pickaxes. Finally, he had enough time to leave the mining area and return to the bedroom.
After a morning of hard work, Su Yanxi obtained 185 points and a compulsory execution card. At the same time, as the points increased, two icons lit up on the redemption panel.
[Accelerator Card (Common): 100 points (mining speed increased by 10%)
Stamina Card (Common): 100 points (restores 10% of Stamina while mining)]
Su Yanxi rubbed her sore wrist. She knew her body well. Increasing the speed would only make her tired to death faster. Someone like her who couldn't endure hardship would definitely choose physical strength. If her physical strength was increased to 100%, she wouldn't feel tired at all while mining.
Su Yanxi decisively spent 100 points to buy a stamina card. His stomach began to growl. He looked at the time and it was already two o'clock in the afternoon. He had missed two meals in a row. It was a miracle that he didn't starve to death.
She first went to the kitchen to find some food, and happened to run into Su's mother and Su Cheng who were packing up and getting ready to go out.
The three of them ran into each other, and no one spoke for a moment.
Su Cheng spoke first: "Sister, you didn't come out to eat breakfast and lunch today. What's wrong? Mom knocked on the door and you didn't answer."
Su Yanxi had been at the mine for the whole morning and felt a little guilty when Su Cheng asked him about it.
"I couldn't sleep last night and got up late today, so I didn't hear it." Su Yanxi said, "Are you guys going out? Go ahead, I'll eat something to fill my stomach."
Su Yanxi and Su Cheng passed each other. Su's mother's eyes followed her eldest daughter's figure. She stammered and said nothing.
After Su Yanxi left, Su Cheng found that the originally happy mother Su had become depressed, "Let's go, Mom."
She took Su's mother's hand, and seeing that she took the initiative to get close to her, Su's mother smiled again.
Su Cheng took his mother out.
She didn't want Su Yanxi to affect her relationship with her mother.
However, Su's mother's mood could not return to the beginning. Halfway through the shopping, she suddenly said, "That cake shop is Xixi's favorite. Let's go buy some for her sister."
"Okay." Su Cheng pinched his palm.
Afterwards, Su's mother was absent-minded and hastily finished her afternoon shopping. When she returned to the villa, she directly sent the cake to Su Yanxi's room.
This was the first time that Su Cheng's mother brought something specifically for Su Yanxi since she came back. She was a little flattered and felt like she was still a part of this family.
"Xixi, mom has to help your sister adapt recently, so I can't think of you all the time. If you have anything on your mind, tell mom and don't keep it in your heart..." said Su's mother.
"Okay." Su Yanxi took a big bite of cake to hide her sobs.
She said, how is it possible that after being a young lady for more than 20 years, she is not loved by her father and mother!
"Tsk! Sister, it's just a cake, and you are so moved?" Su Cheng passed by Su Yanxi's room and saw that the door was not closed and Su's mother was not there, so he walked in directly.
Su Yanxi frowned.
"go out."
Her voice was cold, and her lips were caked with cream, like a territorial, aristocratic lion cat.
"Is it so delicious? Why don't you let me have a try?" Su Cheng didn't care about Su Yanxi's cold face at all. He walked up to Su Yanxi and was about to snatch her cake. Su Yanxi used both hands and stared at Su Cheng.
"What's wrong with you?"
Su Cheng's behavior is very different from his previous pitiful image.
Su Yanxi felt that he had discovered the truth.
"Hey, my mom bought me a cake, didn't she break your defense?"
Before he finished speaking, Su Cheng flipped the cake over, and the white cream fell to the ground with a "bang", splattering everywhere.
"Oh no, I can't eat it." Su Cheng smiled smugly, "I'm sorry, sister, but it's just a cake, you shouldn't mind, right?"
If glares could kill, Su Cheng would have been stabbed into a sieve by Su Yanxi by now.
Seeing Su Cheng clapping her hands and about to leave as if nothing had happened, Su Yanxi stopped her, "Sister, you don't think that nothing has happened to you, do you?"
"What else?" Su Cheng was fearless.
Su Yanxi didn't say anything. After Su Cheng left her room, she immediately called the system.
"I'm going to use the Enforcement Card and make Su Cheng mine for me for the rest of my life!"
