From the moment they arrived in Mida City in March, Yu Lao and a dozen others led Wudan on a journey across the grasslands in search of minerals.
They've been gone since then, without a single reply. If it weren't for a tribe that had seen them, Mida City wouldn't even know if they were alive or dead.
They're finally back!
In the front yard, Old Yu was sitting in Zhao Tingduo's study, packing his belongings. In front of him was a pile of colorful stones.

She took the stone from Zhao Tingduo and examined it carefully.
The surface is a fist-sized rock mixed with black coal, but once the sand and soil are removed, high-quality, shiny black coal is revealed inside.
"Mr. Yu, where was this found? Are there many of them?"
