The girl selling goods at the market had never seen money before.

Won't things get better then?

"Hehe~"

A pleasant fantasy made Zhou Kai hum softly. He tossed the documents aside, wrapped his arms around the voluptuous loli and mature woman, and dreamed of the future.

Just then, the mine suddenly began to shake.

"boom--!!!"

The loud crash made Zhou Kai immediately cover his head, shrink under the chair, and tremble.

What happened? What happened? What happened? What happened? An earthquake!? Earthquakes happen in the dungeon?!

Will the mine collapse? Am I going to be buried inside?!

A few seconds later, the trembling in my feet slowly stopped.

He peeked out and looked around.

The mine shaft is still intact; it hasn't collapsed.

If that's the case, what was that tremor just now? Could it be that some monsters have invaded? That can't be, Qianji Yin said that monster shielding devices are installed in this mine, so those monsters can't detect them.

Zhou Kai thought for a moment and decided to control the skeleton soldier to take a look. If the Thousand Machines had tricked him and it really was a demon invasion, then he would have to run away as soon as possible.

After all, every monster here is at least level 5, and for a level 1 mage like him, fighting one would be pure suicide.

So he got up, used the voice of the undead to command a skeleton to carry a pickaxe and follow the sound, while he himself took a side path and hid behind to observe.

Soon, he arrived at the scene of the crime, where he saw a huge rock dragon lying on the ground, barely alive, with a blue dragon wrapped around its body. Its body had been crushed, and its internal organs had spilled out. It was dead beyond any doubt.

It turns out that two supreme beings have broken in.

Zhou Kai breathed a sigh of relief. The rock dragon was covered in scars and was just one step away from death, posing no threat to him.

Having spent some time on the fifth floor of the dungeon, he was quite familiar with the monsters there, especially those like the Rock Dragon that carried precious minerals. He dreamed that a dying Rock Dragon might fall from the sky.

And it actually fell!

"Heaven has eyes!"

He exclaimed in surprise and immediately ordered the skeleton soldiers to gather around with their pickaxes, while he kept a safe distance from the rock dragon and searched for the diamond on its head.

He soon realized something was wrong.

"Why is this rock dragon's head covered in knife marks? And why has the diamond been taken?! Did an expedition team manage to break through here?"

Zhou Kai sensed something was terribly wrong. He was illegally mining and stealing minerals. If the expedition team found out, they would arrest him and hand him over to the union, which would mean the death penalty.

Run first!

However, as soon as he turned his head, he was kicked to the ground by a man in black who appeared out of nowhere.

"Who's blind... cough cough..."

When Zhou Kai saw the figure in front of him emanating an ominous black mist, he almost peed himself.

The terrifying old lady has even tracked us down here!?

The Shadow might really have special tracking methods, just like how Blackie randomly refreshes his shop to sell goods. The old lady must have come for the items!

Without hesitation, Zhou Kai immediately slid to his knees.

What a joke! There's no one else around right now. Yanlong is definitely being fought by the old lady alone. How could he possibly defeat her?

In addition, Zhou Kai was very confident in his intelligence, and he was certain that the old lady did not necessarily want to kill anyone.

"Grandma...Grandma! You're here to collect your props, right? Here, here you go! Don't come looking for me again, everyone in Shadow is really amazing!"

-------------

Grandma?

In the shadows, Bai Jinxuan's expression was complicated.

This was the first time a young girl like her had been called "grandma" so loudly.

However, she quickly realized that she had fought with Zhou Kai when she tried to steal treasure on the second floor of the dungeon.

At that time, I appeared as a terrifying old lady, so it's normal that the other party would think I was an old lady.

Bai Jinxuan simply changed her face to that of an old woman, removed the full shielding of her Shadowless Cloak, and stared intently at him with her cloudy eyes.

"Zhou... Zhou Kai... Hehe... You know... Shadow?"

"I know, I know. Didn't you tell that Sun... uh, right! Sun Haoqiang that you're all part of Shadow?"

Seeing Zhou Kai kowtowing repeatedly, Bai Jinxuan's brows relaxed slightly.

This guy is still such a coward. With so many skeleton soldiers around him, why doesn't he dare to give it a try?

Although that would only hasten death.

She moved slightly and took out her telekinetic sword from under her cloak.

Seeing this, Zhou Kai was terrified.

"sorry!"

Bai Jinxuan: "???"

I was just grabbing a weapon for emergencies, why did it scare him like that?

So, what did he do to wrong me?

As if sensing Bai Jinxuan's aura, Zhou Kai quickly lowered his head and continued, "I leaked the information about Shadow, I should compensate! As long as it's something I can do, please ask, Grandma! I will definitely lead the charge!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Jinxuan became interested.

The moment she saw the skeleton soldiers, she knew this place was inextricably linked to Zhou Kai, but she didn't know that Zhou Kai himself was there.

Her initial plan was to mark this spot, wait for Zhou Kai to come to her, then bombard him with rice, steal the rare items, and finally send him on his way, ending up in the same room as Ding Hong.

As a result, Zhou Kai knelt down too quickly, and by the time she realized it, it seemed there was no need to kill him directly.

Then let's just ask for some information, since he said he could make any request he wanted.

Bai Jinxuan was blunt: "Why...are you...mining here?"

"It's not my fault! I originally wanted to go home and farm, but Qianjiyin forced me to come and mine underground... Do you know Qianjiyin? It's a company that specializes in making magical items. Their eldest daughter died at No. 2 Middle School. At the time, they were forcing me to cooperate, and then you, Grandma, took care of her, which caused them to vent their anger on me..."

"Who...did it?"

"Ahem, didn't you kill Gu Qingyun, Grandma?"

"no......"

Bai Jinxuan lies without batting an eye. What does Bai Jinxuan killing people have to do with that terrifying old lady?

She continued, "Go on..."

"Oh, it's like this, the Undying Guild and the Thousand Machines Guidance are truly scoundrels! One sells fake medicine that harms the public, and the other is a heartless boss who ruthlessly exploits his employees! By the way, the Thousand Machines Guidance even secretly killed..."

Many innocent civilians…

Seeing that he was getting more and more carried away, Bai Jinxuan slashed with her sword, but stopped abruptly just as she was about to cut his neck open.

A chill crept up my back, which was open around the waist.

If I had moved just one centimeter to the side, my neck would definitely have bled.

"Gulu..."

"Don't... talk nonsense..." Bai Jinxuan said in a hoarse voice, "How many... skeleton soldiers... and how much... minerals... do you have here..."

---------------------

After listening to Zhou Kai's explanation for a while, Bai Jinxuan finally understood what was going on here.

Zhou Kai collaborated with a prop company called Qianjiyin to mine; he was responsible for mining, and Qianjiyin sold the resources.

No wonder these skeletons appeared under the Rock Dragon's nest; they were desperately trying to escape the main mining area.

As for the profits, it is said that one ton of magic crystal ore can be refined into 1000 magic crystal stones, and each stone sells for around 100. In other words, one ton of magic crystal ore can be sold for 100,000.

It's equivalent to a bottle of sex-changing drug.

This profit far exceeded Bai Jinxuan's expectations. She thought that mining, especially mining on the fifth level of the underground city, should be very profitable. However, Zhou Kai said that his weekly mining income was 350 tons, which is 3500 million.

As for myself, I made over 1000 million just from selling medicine after killing ten Evil Heaven Trees. Today, I even managed to collect five diamonds. With the addition of materials from the predatory plants, red dragons, and blue lock dragons in the forest, my profits will definitely be even higher.

The largest diamond in the diamond is probably worth more than 3500 million!

Upon comparison, Bai Jinxuan's interest in the skeleton soldiers immediately diminished considerably.

However, when she realized that she herself was a major customer of Magic Crystals, her interest in the Skeleton Soldiers was instantly rekindled.

Producing and selling directly can save a lot of costs!

Moreover, the number of skeletons can be continuously increased, and as long as there are no losses, a large number of magic crystals can be obtained at a very low cost.

In the long run, this project is a sure thing.

Bai Jinxuan immediately decided to officially take over the skull mining business.

Where are those two props...?

When she said this, she deliberately emphasized her tone, warning Zhou Kai not to make any trouble and to obediently hand over the items.

However, Zhou Kai seemed oblivious and started laughing it off.

"Grandma, are you really planning to go against the Thousand Machines? Those two rare items are now theirs."

"I'm asking you...where are you?"

"Oh, oh, oh! In the hands of the Thousand Machines, I'm just a nobody. If you want to control the skeleton soldiers, you'll have to go find the Thousand Machines to cause you trouble."

Bai Jinxuan's face was icy cold.

This week, not only do they not want to take the items, but they also want to provoke me into attacking Qianji Yin?

Do you think I'm an idiot?

If the tools aren't in your hands, how are you commanding the skeletons?

"If... I find out you lied to me... deliberately hid props... and refused to hand them over... then you can just wait to die..."

After saying this, Bai Jinxuan tossed her cloak aside and walked into the mine with a gloomy face.

Seeing that she was not afraid of Qianji Yin at all, and even began to threaten him, Zhou Kai admitted that he was a little flustered.

After thinking for a moment, he clenched his fist and painfully explained, "Grandma! Um... actually, I know where the Thousand-Mechanism Tool is hidden, really! It's just that the method of retrieving it is rather..."

"Speak the key."

"Ahem... Please come with me!"

Mu: Su Shi is the woman who can become my mother...

Lixi: Sushi, I'm very happy right now.

Xiangzi: Su Shi~

That would have been fine, but later:

Aino: Soyorin, love!
