Finding faults
Su Yanxi opened the mining system and prepared to draw the blind box.
The miner had worked continuously for three days before, earning her 11,340 points, plus her remaining 65 points, for a total of 11,405 points.
This time, a new item appeared on the exchange panel. It was a plant with the following properties:
[Silver Thread Ghost Flower (Rare): 10,000 points (Produces a random ore every day, suitable for planting on rocks.)]
Su Yanxi:!
This flower is equivalent to an ore production machine. The ore itself is a non-renewable energy source, but this way, the non-renewable energy source becomes renewable. If you're lucky, the random ores you get every day will all be high-level ores...
She is going to get rich!
A windfall!
"System, can this flower be planted in the system?" Su Yanxi asked.
[Host, no, you can only plant in the real world.]
Su Yanxi expressed his understanding that the system mine has a unique operating mechanism. If silver ghost flowers can be grown, it will disrupt the balance of the mine's operation, so it is reasonable that they cannot be planted.
In this way, she has no place to plant the flowers for the time being, so she doesn't have to buy the flowers for now. She can use the more than 10,000 points to draw blind boxes first, and then accumulate points to buy flowers later.
After making a good plan, Su Yanxi directly bought ten blind boxes.
After opening the blind box, she obtained stamina cards*29, critical hit cards*7, acceleration cards*10, treatment card*1, random drop item card*1, and detectors*2.
Among them, the new card Random Drop Item Card is an advanced card that can add a random dropped item.
After use, three items were picked out for Su Yanxi to choose from: a down quilt, jeans and a fleece hat, and a down jacket.
All three items are winter supplies.
Su Yanxi felt strange. As far as she knew, it was spring now and winter was still a long way off. However, it was better to take precautions before it happens. After all, winter would always come.
She thought about it and decided that jeans and a plush hat were definitely useless. A down jacket was useful, but compared to a down jacket, a down quilt covered a much larger area, and a down quilt could be turned into a down jacket. No matter how she looked at it, a down quilt was more cost-effective, so she decisively chose the first picture.
After using various bonus cards, Su Yanxi's information panel changes as follows:
[Mine owner: Su Yanxi (Shen Yunian?)
Mine Level: Lv.3 (Black Crystal Mine 4, Blue Crystal Mine 4, Tricolor Mine 2)
Miners: 2 (Slave Miner 1: Su Cheng; Miner 4: Chen Shi, Xiao Hai's family; Inferior Miner 41: Dali, Aunt Hu...)
Items: 2 healing cards, 2 detectors, 2 crystal pickaxes, 10-slot backpack (can be stacked)
Mining speed: 220%
Critical Hit Rate: 60%
Special properties:
1. Recover 370% of your physical strength while mining
2. Inferior miners' output is reduced by 20%
3. Miners receive random items when mining (currently the following are the categories of dropped items: cotton clothing, blankets, cloth shoes, waterproof rubber shoes, pearl earrings, feather hairpins, colored diamond clips, sunglasses, colored candies, ordinary bread, duvets, and lucky random items).
Su Yanxi could tell at a glance that the random item drops were sorted according to the probability of the items dropping. The ones at the front were the easiest to obtain, and the ones at the back had a lower chance of dropping. The down quilt was ranked between the lucky random items and ordinary bread, and she was not sure whether it would be easy to get.
Looking at the various critical hits, accelerations, and physical strength bonuses, Su Yanxi felt a little regretful.
"I don't even want to mine. What's the point of having such high numbers? What a waste!" Su Yanxi lamented.
[Host, existence is reasonable.]
Su Yanxi: ...These words gave her a bad feeling.
Is there any ore that only she can dig? You must be kidding!
Su Yanxi smiled and said, "Don't scare yourself first."
After spending all the points, Su Yanxi was satisfied. Although he still only got one advanced card, at least he had a backup card.
Although Su Yanxi felt that the detector he obtained was useless, since he already had it, it wouldn't hurt to use it.
She placed the detector next to the two tri-colored mines. The detector was a pitch-black object consisting of a base and a square, flat device, half a person's height.
As soon as it landed, the detector started working. A blue light was emitted by the detector, forming an aperture that circled the mine, and the detection results were displayed on the square screen.
[Tricolor Mine 1: Everything is normal.]
[Tricolor Mine 2: Discovered the lava worm nest.]
Magma Hive xue?
Su Yanxi stared at the wriggling red area at the bottom of the tri-colored mine on the screen. That should be the magma worm.
Pull down and the specific properties of the magma worm will be displayed.
[Magazine: A low-level monster with scorching magma inside. It feeds on minerals, which produce magma and form magma pools. It will explode if attacked or frightened.]
Su Yanxi frowned. The magma worms were very difficult to deal with. They had to eat ore and produce magma continuously. In other words, these worms would constantly steal the ore, which was the most expensive ore she currently had.
Dealing with these bugs is also troublesome. The magma worms will spray magma when they explode, burning people's skin. Now there are only some untrained miners entering the mine, and it is difficult to deal with these bugs.
She needs to prepare more treatment cards and use human wave tactics when necessary. At worst, she can scare all the magma worms to death and then use treatment cards to treat them.
After thinking of a solution, Su Yanxi closed the panel and was just about to relax for a while when Xiao Hai's anxious voice was heard outside the house.

Dujuan is an eighteen-year-old girl. Her family is not good at mining, so they are always punished. Fortunately, her girlfriend, who works in an intermediate mining area, asked someone to use his connections to ask the team leader to reduce the water level, so the beatings were not serious. However, they still have to stay in the abandoned mine and cannot eat. The conditions are terrible, and they can only survive by relying on the help from her girlfriend's family.
This gap between the two families made Du Juan feel very uncomfortable. Her family was always a burden and needed help from her husband, but when it came to mining, once you helped, you had to keep helping. They dug very hard, but the yield was just that, and they were always far from completing the task.
If this continues for a long time, the target family will also be dragged down by their family, and how will they repay the favors they owe? They are just small miners, and they only work overtime to mine and bribe their superiors.
Du Juan originally wanted to break up with her boyfriend and didn't want to continue to drag others down. He was a good person and deserved a better girl. But once she really broke up with him, their relatives would be indifferent, no one would support him, and he would definitely die. As a result, she could only tie her boyfriend down against her conscience.
In her inner torment, she even wanted to die to escape this difficult choice.
When she finally mustered up the courage to make up her mind, a turning point came. A man came to the abandoned mine. She didn't know him. The man promised them food and asked them to help dig.
She was very curious, why would anyone need a group of dying people to mine?
As a result, this person took them to a mysterious space to mine, and from then on, their fate took a different path.
After risking their lives, Dujuan is very grateful to Brother Nian for giving their family a chance to survive.
The first time she entered the space, she obtained a stable mining rate and extremely fast mining speed in reality. The second time she entered the space, she could obtain many additional items by mining.
The family received two pairs of shoes, a set of clothes, some candy and bread, all very practical things.
The whole family decided to give a portion of these things to the boyfriend's family. He had helped their family before, and now that their family has good things, of course they cannot forget their roots.
But this delivery caused a problem.
When Li Gui received the clothes and shoes from his girlfriend, he was immediately overjoyed and couldn't wait to put on the new clothes and shoes. He thought that these were brought back from outside by someone asked by Du Juan's parents.
"I'm afraid it must be a waste of money for my uncle and aunt to wear these!" Li Gui said as he was about to take them off. "Why not return them? Clothes like these get damaged easily while working. It's better to go shirtless..."
"Stop! What are you doing? I'll be mad if you take it off again!" Du Juan pretended to be angry and glared, "Put it on! We have the conditions, it's okay! You know, I can't afford to give you something too expensive!"
"Really?" Li Gui was unconvinced. "Wasn't it hard to complete the check-in task a few days ago?"
"Don't worry! It's so easy to complete the task!" Dujuan said with a smile.
"Why? What happened?" Li Gui was curious.
The matter was of great importance, so Du Juan did not explain it to Li Gui. She only said, "That's our mining district's business, so I can't tell you, someone from outside the district!"
"Great!" Li Gui grabbed Du Juan's wrist and pretended to tickle her. The two of them said to him, "You think I'm an outsider now, don't you? Don't you dare to do it again?"
"Hold on! Halt! I really can't tell you! Okay, I'm leaving!"
After saying goodbye to Du Juan, Li Gui went to mine wearing the clothes she gave him. He had already dug most of the mines in the morning. The task in the afternoon would be much easier and would not damage his clothes.
Li Gui, who came to the mine wearing clothes, immediately caught everyone's attention.
"Oh my god, Xiao Li, where did you get those clothes?!" A fellow miner came over and patted his clothes, unable to let go.
"My partner gave it to me." Li Gui felt embarrassed because he was surrounded by people.
"Oh—" the miners cheered, "I'm so jealous!"
Some even asked directly, "Is your partner still in need of a partner?"
Li Gui was so angry that he slapped the person who said that. "Dream on! That's my girlfriend!"
"Brother Gui is too protective of his people!" The man ran away in all directions.
After a few people laughed and joked for a while, someone asked, "Hey, Li Gui, didn't your partner even have enough money to mine before? Why did you think of buying you a piece of clothing today? Could it be..."
The man smiled maliciously, as if hinting at Li Gui.
Li Gui believed his partner and felt disgusted watching Hu Yang talking. He said coldly, "You can still keep quiet now without hurting the relationship. If you want to continue, don't blame me for not warning you!"
Hu Yang smiled awkwardly, "I'm just saying that."
After digging for a while, Huyang saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he slipped out of the mine. When there was no one in the corridor, he started to curse, "Who knows, maybe he went out to sell it? You must be anxious now!"
He walked quickly to a stone house and knocked on the door.
"Supervisor Liu! Supervisor Liu! I have something to report to you!"
The door was opened from the inside, and Supervisor Liu stood at the door, blocking the view of the visitors looking inside.
"What's going on? If you're not mining, why are you here?"
Supervisor Liu was so aggressive the moment he arrived that Hu Yang was incoherent: "Supervisor, you know Li Gui, right? You helped him before! Now he got something good and didn't think of you at all! Those clothes and shoes are of such high quality, but he wore them himself! He's such a heartless person!"
Supervisor Liu is not stupid and will not immediately believe one-sided words.
"Really? Where did he come from?"
"His girlfriend gave it to him!" Hu Yang answered immediately.
"Oh?" Supervisor Liu paused.
The person Li Gui found was Supervisor Liu, who had just helped Li Gui and the team leader tell them a few days ago that there was someone they were targeting in their mining area and asked them to be gentle. Now that he thought about it, it turned out that Li Gui had indeed sent ore to him for help a few days ago.
"Is his partner doing well in mining now?" Supervisor Liu asked.
"Yeah! And there are a lot of good things!"
"That's strange!"
Supervisor Liu asked around and discovered something strange happening in the low-level mining area. A large group of people were able to complete their mining tasks in just one morning.
Upon learning the news, he immediately reported it to Chen Xiao, the intermediate mining area manager.
Chen Xiao suddenly realized, "No wonder the task completion rate of the low-level mining area has reached 100% recently!"
Because of this incident, both their high-level and mid-level mining areas were held accountable. After all, the low-level mines that required more quantity were all completed 100%, and their mid-level and high-level mines required even less quantity, and many people were unable to complete the task, which was really unreasonable.
"I remember we also have a black crystal mine, right?" Chen Xiao asked.
"Yes, it's just behind the right side of the mining area." Supervisor Liu replied.
"That's good!" Chen Xiao said, "No wonder we've been losing so much ore lately. Now we've found the murderer, haven't we?!"
Supervisor Liu was stunned for a moment, but finally understood what Chen Xiao meant.
How could a group of old, weak and sick people dig up so much minerals? They must have stolen it!
"Boss, you're wise! Let's go to the low-level mining area and get the minerals! How dare you bully us!"
