After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

[Just because he stomped his foot twice, he was sure there was Haru Ore underneath? That boast seems a bit too big, feels like the ladder was bought for nothing, might as well have saved the money and had a good meal.]

[A piece of Haru Ore is worth about 20,000 Gold Coins, if there really is some, isn't that just too easy to earn money?]

[Alas, I want to learn the Phoenix Tail Flower's mining method, but I don't know when I'll be able to reach the 10th floor; climbing the World Tree is too hard, brothers.]

Many doubtful voices appeared in the suggestions.

Lin Da did not respond.

He could not be sure there was Haru Ore underground with 100% certainty.

Humans stumble, horses trip.

No matter how rich the theoretical knowledge, without luck, one might still come up empty-handed.

He had said earlier, using his method could only increase the chances, but it didn't guarantee a full return.

If mining were so easy, there would be no poor people on the continent.

But quite obviously...

Lin Da, blessed with the legendary skill "Blessing of the World Tree Goddess" is unusual in the luck department.

When Lulu dug a three-meter-deep pit, her iron pickaxe struck something hard, creating a loud bang and sending sparks flying.

"There's something."

Lulu dropped her pickaxe, and dug a few times with her beast claws, retrieving an object.

She jumped out of the pit and walked over to Lin Da.

The sensor ladybug also flew over, its eyes flickering blue, akin to a camera lens, aiming at Lulu.

In the hands of the werewolf girl, unmistakably, were three square, shiny silver, fist-sized pieces of ore.

Knowledgeable adventurers recognized it at a glance.

That was the specialty of the Great Mystery Continent's 10th floor, Haru Ore!

It could be used to forge level 30 Purple Equipment, and some Orange Equipment also required Haru Ore.

There was an enormous demand in the market, and supplies were short.

[This method really works, hurry up and take notes. When I get to the 10th floor, I'm going mining too!]

[Three pieces of Haru Ore, that's about 60,000 Gold Coins. Earned 60,000 in a few minutes?]

[I've already told the Valiant Adventure Team next door Luanwei's method. Captain Robert is trying it out.]

When Lin Da excavated the Haru Ore, the doubtful voices in the suggestions grew quieter.

Some still stubbornly said that Lin Da was just lucky.

But it was all bluster.

"Hard work."

Lin Da took out a handkerchief and wiped Lulu's dirty face.

He helped clean Lulu's fluffy wolf ears, breathed some warm air on them, and then wiped them with the handkerchief.

The wolf ears looked as good as new, without a speck of dust.

People watching outside the screen couldn't help but feel envious.

Having a beautiful girl team member helping with mining, who's also handsome, intelligent - such a guy is just too enviable!

However, Lin Da couldn't really appreciate the feelings of jealousy; his mind was filled with earning Gold Coins, upgrading equipment for the team.

"Store."

Muttering silently in his mind, Lin Da pointed his Material Bracelet at the three pieces of Haru Ore.

A verdant light flashed, and the ore disappeared from Lulu's hands, entering the bracelet.

The limit of Material Points decreased by 50x3, leaving 850 points remaining.

'This Great Mystery Continent really does make money easily.'

Lin Da appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually quite pleased inside.

A level 30 piece of Purple Equipment averages 100,000 Gold Coins each.

These three pieces of Haru Ore were worth nearly half a piece of Purple Equipment.

The speed of making money was even faster than fighting magical creatures.

On the way to his team's resource area, Lin Da repeated his method, digging up two more pieces of Haru Ore and incidentally finding a Wind Stone.

This made everyone quite jealous.

If digging up Haru Ore relied on knowledge, then Lin Da finding this thumbnail-sized, rectangular stone plate with little wings was purely luck.

The cause was Lin Da feeling uncomfortable in his boots, so he took them off and put them on again.

As it turned out, he had a small green stone plate under his feet, hidden under dry yellow leaves.

The material was named Wind Stone, using up 80 points.

It could be entrusted to a blacksmith to be embedded in boots to enhance Agility.

The market price was around 40,000 Gold Coins.

These 40,000 Gold Coins were purely found by Lin Da.

How could others not be jealous?

"Maybe my luck is just a bit better than the average person."

Lin Da said cheerfully as he stored the Wind Stone into the Material Bracelet.

At this point, his Material Points remained at 770 points.

His initial target was to enter the 10th floor of the Great Mystery and gather materials worth 500 points on the first day, considering it a full success.

But it seemed like there was a chance to fill up the Material Bracelet.

Maybe even... too full to fit?

Lin Da's eyes shifted, thinking that Lia's Material Bracelet definitely couldn't be filled. If he really ended up with more materials than the bracelet could hold, he could let Lia help hold some.

This kind of loophole exploitation was allowed by the benevolent World Tree Goddess for each adventure team a couple of times.

But if done too frequently, there would be dire consequences, like reducing the Material Bracelet's point limit by half.

Lin Da continued towards the Phoenix Tail Flower's resource area, picking resources and looking for ore along the way.

To the relief of many, Lin Da's luck wasn't always good.

Since finding the Wind Stone, the rarest material Lin Da gathered was a lump of Storm Hawk dung.

It was from a juvenile Storm Hawk, which greatly reduced its value.

Lin Da spent 10 points to store it into his bracelet.

He spent an hour explaining and imparting knowledge about the Great Mystery, as well as gathering materials, before finally reaching the resource area belonging to the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team.

"Everyone, look at the blue sky ahead."

"Underneath this blue sky, within a hundred meters, basically all of it is our resource area."

"You can see many Mondale Trees, Green Devil Grass, Orange Flower - the vegetation density of the resource area is far higher than the public area. Most importantly, there—surrounded by a cluster of Mondale Trees—are ten Bronze Trees!"
