Chapter 118 Talk
Shi Xia thus gained the privilege of free passage.

Not only that, she also sat at the table where her older brother was eating, and affectionately pulled the translator to translate the flattering words he was saying.

I'm so tired of translating!

He thought he was already a master of flattery, but he didn't realize that there are always people more skilled than him, and he was still far from being a pro!

The key question is how this girl managed to look so sincere.

Didn't you see that the usually aloof older brother was all smiles as Shi Xia praised him?

In the very end, the translators were all squeezed into a corner.

He watched helplessly as Shi Xia bluffed, while the older brother across from him listened idly.

Even though the two people are speaking different languages, they can still communicate!
This...this...where can I even seek justice?!
After Shi Xia, innocent and naive, promised that she would lead the six uncles and elders to work hard with her eldest brother, the other six crew members also got to eat, drink water, and use the toilet.

Aside from needing to tie it with a rope, it's actually pretty good.

The boat continued on its way and finally approached a shore.

They landed at night.

It was pitch black, completely dark.

A group of people sneaked ashore. Thanks to Shi Xia's counter-strategy, this group of Chinese fishermen who had been brought with them were exceptionally obedient and cooperated fully to get ashore without wasting a moment.

After getting ashore, the group began walking.

After walking for more than two hours, they arrived at a camp that was fully armed, with bamboo houses and watchtowers.

"Take them to mine."

With a wave of his hand, the man led Shi Xia and her group away.

Shi Xia pretended to be silly and waved to the man, shouting, "Big brother, I will definitely work hard and not let you down!"

Shi Xia and her six companions were thus taken to the mining area.

Although it was dark, torches were lit here, and you could see figures with their heads down, mechanically digging something.

It wasn't the underground mine Shi Xia had imagined; it was a gravel mining area.

"Third Brother is here. Are these the newcomers?"

"The person is in your hands. Don't touch that woman. She came back with the second-in-command."

The foreman of the mine who came to pick up Shi Xia immediately understood and handed a pack of cigarettes to the man who called him "Third Brother".

"Thanks, Third Brother."

"gone."

After Third Brother left, the foreman of the mine came over, glanced at Shi Xia, and seemed a little confused.

Since you came back with the second-in-command, why are you still mining?
Since he couldn't figure it out, he didn't need to think about it anymore; knowing too much here wasn't a good thing.

"Listen up, work hard here and you'll get two meals a day. If you don't work hard, you won't get a single meal!"

"Many people starve to death or are beaten to death here. A few more won't matter. As for people... if there aren't enough, we'll just catch some. It's not hard work."

The foreman of the mine came up with a threat right away, and Shi Xia nodded repeatedly as she listened.

"The boss is right!"

The foreman looked at Shi Xia, frowned, and continued, "The most important rule is that all the ore mined must be handed over!"

"Anyone who dares to hoard it will not have an easy time dying!"

Next, Shi Xia finally learned what kind of mineral it was.

ruby!
It's a bit of a shame, but since we've already come all this way, it would be impolite to go back empty-handed.

Moreover, the weapons and equipment here are quite good, and there are several large ships on the shore, all of which she has her eye on.

“Cao Ping, once you’re inside, work hard. I’ll definitely take you back in less than a week.”

"Okay, Shi Xia, be careful."

"Yes, be careful."

The six fishermen truly trusted Shi Xia completely, which warmed her heart.

Okay, I'll share some rubies with you guys later.

She really is a great person! And so, Shi Xia began her life of mining.

Mining rubies involves breaking them apart from the gravel, washing them, and then relying on luck to select the best ones.

Because water is needed, the entire mining area has irrigation canals, which are damp and facilitate the operation of Shi Xia's supernatural abilities.

In less than an hour, Shi Xia unearthed a ruby ​​the size of a fist.

She handed over the ruby ​​while holding it up.

The mine foreman was stunned when he saw the huge ruby!
From then on, Shi Xia managed to dig up something every hour.

After several such incidents, the mine foreman became numb to it all. Was this girl just incredibly lucky?

At daybreak, the people who come to collect rubies every day arrive.

When they saw several large rubies, they couldn't stay calm.

"This...is it from our mine?"

"Yes."

The mine foreman then told them about Shi Xia digging for rubies, and the other party, out of curiosity, went to take a look.

This discovery was alarming; Shi Xia had been dug up again!

That's right, that's how hard we put in!
Since we're digging them all ourselves anyway, wouldn't the rest just benefit others?

With this mindset, Shi Xia was really happy digging!

Shi Xia's efficient mining of rubies in a single day was known to everyone from the miners to the mine's manager.

That evening, Lucky Summer went to the top leader's barracks for dinner.

The top leader was a one-eyed man, and the person who went to arrest him that day was the second-in-command. Both of them were present, as was the translator.

"Big brother! I knew you wouldn't forget your little sister!"

"Big brother, I'm so glad to finally see you!"

Shi Xia was very happy to see the second-in-command, and plopped down next to him.

The top leader was not very satisfied.

It's not a good thing for a boss to be more popular than his underlings.

"Ahem—I'm not the eldest brother, this is the eldest brother."

Even if the second-in-command had something on his mind, he couldn't show it now, so he quickly introduced Shi Xia.

The simple-minded Shi Xia made no attempt to hide her feelings and reluctantly called out "Big Brother."

The one-eyed man's expression darkened further, but he still inquired about the ruby.

"I heard you dug up a lot of rubies?"

"That's right! My older brother said I'm strong and told me to work hard, and he'll guarantee me wealth and prosperity!"

"No, bro, I was just kidding her. She's not very bright, she's a stubborn person."

The second-in-command quickly explained in their language, and Shi Xia listened with a smile, her silly expression genuine.

The one-eyed man picked up his glass, seemingly unconcerned, and said, "Brother, you're overthinking it. I've never doubted you. Come on, let's have a drink!"

The two started drinking. Shi Xia laughed carefree, while the translator lowered his head and pretended not to exist.

During the banquet, the older man asked Shi Xia why she found the right spot so accurately. Shi Xia pretended to be clueless and asked, "Isn't it just digging for rubies? Do I need any other stones?"

Uh... of course not!
The one-eyed man finally realized that you can't reason with a fool.

He promised that as long as Shi Xia could continue searching for rubies, she could eat well, sleep well, make money, and become very rich!

"Really! That's great! I've always wanted to be rich and powerful all my life! From now on, you two will be my Rich Brother and Rich Brother!"

Shi Xia drank heartily, successfully getting both the top leader and the second-in-command drunk.

The banquet came to an end, and Shi Xia left, now having a private room to stay in.

During a break while using the restroom, Shi Xia successfully intercepted the translator who was coming out of the outhouse and greeted him with a smile.

"Hi—shall we talk?"
