Chapter 50 Communicating with Blue Star
Hearing this, Gu Xinyan smiled and explained it to him:
"You may not need it here, but gold is a precious metal. In many worlds, it's used as currency, and it's also a valuable resource."
Even in our own dimension, it's incredibly valuable; it's used not only for making jewelry but also for many other purposes.
You might not fully understand this, but just know that this stone called gold is a good thing.
It's incredibly lucky that you found it here, and from what I see, there's very likely a gold mine near your tribe.
"Energy mines are hard to define, but this gold mine is real. Chief Ke, you can arrange for people to mine it; we'll buy whatever amount they find!"
Upon hearing this, Chief Ke's eyes flashed with surprise. He couldn't help but rub his hands together. He had been so excited today that he felt his cheeks were a little stiff, but that didn't diminish his joy.
"Sir, I'll have them dig right away. And that energy stone, I'll search for them carefully too. I'm sure I'll find it for you!" With that, he hurriedly pulled Mu Zi away.
For a moment, only Gu Xinyan, her two companions, and Xiaobai remained in the store. The once bustling store was now somewhat empty.
Gu Xinyan shook her head helplessly, went straight to the cashier, and tore a piece of paper from her notebook.
He then wrote down everything about the new world he had just arrived in, his mission, and what he had discovered that day. After finishing, he handed it to Lu Yunting and said:
"Captain Lu, what do you think of what's written here? If you have anything to write, write it down here. After you've finished, I'll have Xiao Bai send it to Commander Zhang and the others!"
"Don't call me Captain Lu anymore. Just call me Brother Lu like they do. You've written it in great detail, so we won't write it again. Just send it to Commander Zhang like this."
Lu Yunting took the paper, reading it as he spoke. Seeing that it was written in great detail, he decided not to add anything further and handed the paper back.
Gu Xinyan smiled and nodded upon hearing this. Actually, she had wanted to call him Brother Lu from the beginning, but his indifferent expression made her unsure how to say it.
Well, since he asked for it himself, she figured she might as well comply and went along with it:
"Then let's do as Brother Lu says. I didn't expect the harvest to be so great this time, hehe! I imagine that beast and the crystal inside it must be some rare treasures! If we have the chance this time, let's get one and take it back!"
After saying that, he folded the paper covered in writing and handed it to Xiaobai.
"Xiao Bai, send this to Commander Zhang and the others. Also, keep an eye out for any replies they receive. If they reply, bring it to us as soon as possible! That way, we'll know what to exchange it for!"
[Yes, host, Xiaobai understands. Don't worry, as soon as Commander Zhang and the others reply, Xiaobai will get it to you immediately!]
Xiao Bai put the note in front of him into the system space and then sent it to Blue Star through the exchange device. After doing all this, he repeatedly made promises.
"They probably won't be back for a while, so let's take a break now and discuss our next steps in finding the Mother Tree in the main city!"
"well!)"

Blue Star
The soldier who was guarding the store was about to change shifts with his teammates when suddenly a white light flashed from the exchange machine next to the counter, and then a slip of paper slowly appeared on the tray of the exchange machine.
Upon seeing the note, the soldier on guard was taken aback, then his face lit up with surprise. He quickly took the note out of the tray and reminded his comrade who was changing shifts before leaving.
He sped to Commander Zhang's office. "Commander Zhang, Miss Gu has sent a letter!"
Commander Zhang, who was engrossed in handling matters, was stunned for a moment upon hearing this. After realizing what was happening, he suddenly pushed back his chair and stood up.
"What did you say? Gu Ya and the others wrote a letter? Quick, quick! Let me see it!"
After saying that, he strode towards the soldier. After carefully examining the note, he breathed a sigh of relief. When he saw the rest, he couldn't stop smiling and muttered to himself.
"Excellent! Well done! I never expected we'd be going to the Beast World. What a magical world!"
After Commander Zhang finished speaking with a cheerful smile, he strode back to his desk, tore a page from his notebook, and briefly wrote down what had happened.
After giving several more instructions, he finally put down the pen with satisfaction and handed it to the soldier who had just come to deliver the message.
"Put this letter into the exchange device, and tell the guards on duty to bring it to me immediately if they see any letters coming."
"Yes, Commander Zhang!" The soldier took the note and turned to leave.
Watching his departing figure, Commander Zhang was in a very good mood. He never expected that he would discover a primary energy stone in the Beast World he visited this time.
Not only that, but they also suspected the discovery of a gold mine, as well as some strange beasts and some odd fruits and vegetables.
Although the value of these items is still unknown, the gold mine alone has made their trip very fruitful.
Thinking of this, he strode outside. He needed to stock up on medicine and some durable food in case there was a shortage there, since these were the most needed and scarce items.

"It's this late, and they're still digging? Should we go check on them?"
Gu Xinyan looked at the dark sky outside, and saw that only their shop in the entire tribe had lights on; everywhere else was pitch black. She said with some concern.
"Let's stay inside the shop. The vegetation here is so lush that we might not be able to find our way even if we go out."
"Even if we find our way, the roads outside aren't easy to navigate. They might be on their way back right now!" Lu Yunting reassured her as he saw her pacing anxiously back and forth.
“Yes, the road here isn’t easy to travel. Let’s wait a while. If they haven’t returned yet, let’s close the shop and talk about it tomorrow! Besides, Chief Ke and the others are nearby, so they won’t be in any danger,” Gu Xinya suggested.
Hearing their words, Gu Xinyan nodded. That's true. It's not good for them to just wait around. They've probably gotten addicted to digging for gold.
