The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 298 Obsessed with Mining
"By the way, what kind of place did you find to live?" Vasita asked while filling the swallowing stomach with juice.

"It's a secret!" Moran smiled mysteriously, thinking of her plans for the residence. "Once it's all built, I'll invite you over. You'll be absolutely amazed!"

Vasita: "..."

Damn it, I've really gotten them hooked!
“You have to tell me where it is, right? In a while, I’ll start looking for a suitable place to live, and maybe I’ll end up at your house,” Vasida said.

Moran thought about it and realized that made sense: "Do you remember the valley I discovered during our first wilderness survival class?"

"Wild Boar Valley?" Vasida was very impressed by this.

“That’s right!” Moran said, “That’s it. If you see it in the future, remember to take a detour! No peeking beforehand!”

“Okay, okay!” Vasita readily agreed.

Curiosity aside, she can still keep her promise.

Moran spent two days in the breadfruit grove, stuffing a large, expanded pigskin sack to the brim, before going back to the dormitory to fill another sack with rice and flour.

I also took a magic Q&A class and asked Ms. Amisha to answer the questions that had accumulated over this period of time.

After class, she would go back to the dormitory courtyard to dig up trees and pick vegetables.

She probably won't stay in the dormitory for long afterward, and she'll gradually return to the core area less often. The vegetable garden and farmland will be neglected and slowly overrun by weeds.

After this academic year ends, it will be reset to the way it was before she moved in.

Everything else is fine, but it's a bit of a pity that this passion tree, which I've worked so hard to grow, is so big.

So I dug it up, roots and all, wrapped it in burlap, and put the soil around the roots, which had shrunk considerably, into my pocket.

In the remaining space, I put some vegetables picked from the garden, which can be considered the last harvest.

After stuffing both large pigskin bags to the brim, Moran immediately set off back to Wild Boar Valley.

Upon returning home, I immediately found a sunny spot and planted the passion tree.

There weren't many vegetables, and they couldn't be kept for too long, so we ate them on the way back.

She then reclaimed the vegetable garden in the valley and planted some vegetables.

However, grain crops such as rice and wheat are no longer grown on a large scale.

Instead, I chose to buy several Sylph's {Giant Wheat - Seed Card} and {Tree Rice - Seed Card}.

Planting just a few plants will be enough for her to eat, and they're easy to take care of.

After tidying up the vegetable garden, Moran packed plenty of bread, fruit, and cakes, and carrying her pigskin mining bag, and went down into the mine without stopping.

Ordinary crystal mine, dig!

While it's difficult to make window glass with magic, you can use the Stone Shaping spell to mold broken crystals into crystal panels for sealing windows. The transparency is not much worse than that of glass windows, and there are many colors to choose from.

Crystals sculpted using the sculpting technique are perfectly fine as long as they are not used for alchemy.

Ordinary metal ore, dig!

The bottom of the valley, where the stream flows, must be sealed off with metal mesh to ensure absolute safety.

Some metal ores are also used in doors, windows, furniture, tap water, drainage pipes, and mechanical doors.

Ordinary gemstone mines, must be mined!

The larger ones are saved up to make magical gems with spatial attributes, while the smaller ones are kept to adorn clothing, inlay, and decorate furniture and ornaments.

Various magical ores are also indispensable, as they are essential for alchemy.

The more you dig, the more addicted you become.

The caves on both sides of the underground river are like a giant nesting doll blind box.

After opening one, there's another. Wherever she goes, her gold-detecting skill finds its way, and she mines it using her mining skills.

After the basement was expanded three times and various common ores were piled up into small mountains, Moran stopped mining ordinary common ores and only mined high-quality common ores or magic ores.

Every time they find a high-quality ore, they want to dig up more and can't stop.

She even carried food and tent cards with her and lived in the mine.

After her magic power was almost depleted, she would set up a tent to read, and when she got tired, she would sleep, managing to mine and study at the same time.

After resting and restoring his magic, he continued along the underground river, exploring the minerals in the caves on both banks.

She would only return to the basement to store the ore after the pigskin ore package was full.

Then go to the valley to tend to the vegetable garden, and finally set off again with bread, fruit, and cakes.

After digging a lot, Moran gained experience.

The reserves of magical minerals in the natural caves along both sides of the underground river do not seem to be very abundant.

Only in rich ores of ordinary ore can a small amount of low-grade magic ore be found.

Only in rich low-level magic mines can a small amount of mid-level magic ore be found.

Moran has been digging for so long, and he's only filled one chest with low-grade magic ore, and there's only one piece of mid-grade magic ore.

It's a fist-sized piece of medium-grade magic copper ore.

Mo Lan dug from the southernmost underground river channel of the Lone Peak Forest all the way to the northern part of the central area of ​​the Lone Peak Forest. In a straight line, he traversed about two-thirds of the Lone Peak Forest.

Once again, carrying a full bag of ore, Moran returned to the basement, emptied the ore, and opened the box containing bread and fruit cakes. When he found it empty, he realized that he had been addicted to mining for a long time.

Both the Gold Detection and Mining skills have been upgraded to intermediate level through frequent use.

His gold-detection skills have already reached the intermediate level.

Moran never expected that the first elemental magic he would advance to the intermediate level would be the Gold Detection Technique.

At first, I mined to collect materials, but later I just mined for fun.

We've already gathered enough materials.

Coming out of the basement, I saw that the giant wheat and tree rice planted in the vegetable garden had grown very tall.

It's just that the mutated crops don't grow very well because the magic isn't used frequently enough.

Moran quickly used mutated crop planting magic, along with lush and fertile soil spells, to give it a good boost, and finally managed to save it.

"Dean, what's the date today?" Having been underground for so long, Moran's eyes were only on all kinds of minerals, and she had a feeling of not knowing what year it was.

"It's May 3rd," came the voice of the Guardian Dean.

"May?!!!"

Moran's surprised voice was almost trembling: "It's already May?"

She had no idea how quickly time had passed and how the school year was almost over.

At this moment, her water curtain hut is exactly the same as it was before she started mining.

It was still empty, just floors and walls. The windows weren't even fitted with glass, there were no doors, no furniture, no decorations, no magic circles—not a single thing.

The huge pile of ore in the basement, all the apprentice and beginner-level magic books and various miscellaneous books in the second-year library, the intermediate-level elemental magic books in the third-year library, and all the magic she could successfully cast—that was all she had to collect.

The harvest was actually quite substantial, but she became so engrossed in mining that she neglected the construction of her residence!

"When is this year's entrance ceremony?" Moran hurriedly asked Ms. Amisha.
