Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 1205 Mining Team Heads to the Mine

Holy crap, she saw me just now.

Looking at Ji Yue, whose face was flushed and whose eyes were unfriendly, Chu Chen felt as embarrassed as when he was studying Japanese culture in the dormitory and was caught by the dormitory supervisor.

"Chu Chen, come out here for a moment."

Ji Yue looked around the newly renovated dormitory, pointed directly at Chu Chen, and called him out.

Although she was a centurion, only one of the ten squads under her command was female.

So, she doesn't usually come here.

Unexpectedly, upon arriving today, I witnessed such an embarrassing scene.

It made her blush bright red.

After Chu Chen came out, he immediately cupped his hands in greeting and asked, "Lord Centurion, what are your orders?"

To cover up her earlier embarrassment, Ji Yue said directly, "Get ready. Your team will be going into the mine the day after tomorrow. I've come to let you know so you won't be late."

Holy crap, it finally happened.

Chu Chen was somewhat looking forward to mining; he wanted to see what this so-called multi-element stone was all about.

"Thank you for the reminder, Commander. I am new here and there are many things I don't understand. Please give me some pointers."

"If you don't understand something, you can ask Old Zhu. He's an old man and knows everything. Let's get ready to go!"

After saying that, Ji Yue turned and left. She couldn't help it; it was too embarrassing. The little box they had just looked at was full of awkwardness.

Surprisingly, there are actually people who do that kind of thing in broad daylight and show it to others.

Moreover, that little box is also magical; how could it hold a person? It seems that Chu Chen captured it and put it there specifically to do this for others to see.

Sigh, the people in there are so pitiful.

However, their room has changed so much, and their food smells so good.

Thinking about all this, she couldn't help but turn back and say, "Your food was very good!" as she was about to leave Chu Chen's sight.

After saying that, she disappeared from Chu Chen's sight.

Upon hearing her last sentence, Chu Chen thought to himself, "Damn it, how could she be so focused on her own enjoyment that she forgot about her boss?"

It seems I'll have to deliver the gift later.

But the important thing now is to ask Lao Zhu about the mining.

I have no idea where to gather them, how to gather them, or what tools to use.

Back in the dormitory, Chu Chen saw Old Zhu looking at him with lingering interest, and told him to get lost in a bad mood.

Then he gathered everyone around the dining table: "Lord Centurion just said that it's our turn to go mining the day after tomorrow. Old Zhu, tell me about it."

"Where is it? How do I get there? How long will it take?"

After hearing this, Old Zhu shook his head, trying to clear the trick he had just seen from his mind.

"Sir, we work in shifts for a month and then rest for half a month. If we go this time, I estimate it will only take about half a month?"

Chu Chen looked at him in confusion after hearing this: "Isn't it supposed to be a monthly rotation?"

“Our former tenth lord got into trouble, and the higher-ups are worried that we’re embezzling funds, so they’re investigating us these days. Otherwise, we would have gone to the mine seven days ago.”

Chu Chen nodded after listening, thinking to himself, "Damn, that's really shady."

Seeing that Chu Chen remained silent, Old Zhu continued, "As for getting there, it's very simple. We'll take a flying boat, and it will only take half an hour to reach the mine with multiple minerals."

"Then go deep underground, get your own mine tunnel, and you can mine two multi-element ore per day for a month, which means you have to hand over sixty multi-element ore per month."

"So you picked too much?"

After listening, Chu Chen asked again.

"It's impossible to mine more. I, Old Zhu, have been in the mines for over a thousand years and have never seen many people who could mine more."

"The mine is already very depleted, so it's good enough that we can complete the mission."

"Even if you mine a lot, you'll only get more rewards, one gold coin for each multi-element ore."

"But multi-element ore is very valuable. It can be sold for at least ten gold coins each outside. So even if you find extra, you secretly hide it in the mine and take it out to complete the mission during the next mining operation."

After listening, Chu Chen said he understood, and then led everyone in bragging and joking around.

The next day, the entire dormitory was filled with smoke.

Each of them had a cigarette dangling from their lips: "Hey Sanwazi, you said the scariest thing in the mine isn't the monsters, but the cold. Is it cold underground too?"

"You may not know this, sir. That place is extremely barren, and the weather is unpredictable, sometimes cold and sometimes hot. Sometimes when a cold wave comes, it can freeze people to death."

Sanwazi took a deep breath and explained to Chu Chen.

"The kind of Devouring Beasts you mentioned are about as strong as us. What if a whole group of them comes?"

"Sir, as long as you don't go too deep, you'll be fine. You know, those Feral Beasts are all after multi-element mines. If you find a Feral Beast, you'll be rich. Sometimes a month's mission can be completed in a single day."

Everyone took turns explaining the inside of the mine to Chu Chen.

After a day of boasting and joking, Chu Chen had a general understanding of the situation inside.

There are three dangers: Flerken, Cold Tide, and Lava.

One person gets sixty yuan worth of ore per month. You can't take more than that out; there are plenty of people checking outside.

You can take them out if you want, one gold coin each.

If you want to get rich, you can work hard and exchange multi-element minerals for gold coins. The previous ten households are an example, but greed can easily lead to death.

Chu Chen sorted through the information in his mind, and for a moment, he felt a sense of anticipation.

The cold wave and lava flow are nothing to worry about with my current gear.

Even if you fall into lava, you can enter the space immediately.

As for the cold wave, there's nothing to worry about with clothes that automatically heat up.

Flerkens sound terrifying, but with so many tricks up my sleeve, I'm least afraid of fighting. In fact, I might even discover multi-element minerals because of these creatures.

As for the extra ore, one's own space is not as simple as the portable space that miners have.

And so, Chu Chen treated them to hot pot and a good drinking session that night, and then slept soundly until the early morning of the next day.

As the snow melted, a bugle call echoed throughout the entire camp.

Surrounded and guided by his ten companions, Chu Chen arrived directly at the center of the camp.

At this moment, dozens of large airships were parked in the center of the camp, and tens of thousands of people were queuing up, receiving supplies in their respective teams.

Chu Chen didn't have to worry about any of this; his ten friends took care of everything perfectly for him.

A small personal storage space, a small hoe, and a standard short knife for combat.

Chu Chen didn't even look at them before putting them into that small space.

At this moment, Ji Yue arrived at the front of their hundred-person team and glanced at the prepared group.

He said directly, "Come aboard with me, let's set sail!"
