303 7.31 Still Early To Fuse The Fair Gems. (2/2)

”They sure a happy go lucky lot. So, they passed you the shards without any payment and you just provide them with meals? That's pretty neat...How many shards do you require to make a gem?” Jean Lethal commended on my persuasive and influential skills on the dwarfs and asked me on the technique and I explained thoroughly.

”It's a BIG risk if you were to perform to fuse Good ones now right? You won't be able to know the results but your status would be able to show on your sub-levels on Fusion, Creation and Crafting. Check it under Special Skills in the interface.”

Matilda had picked all the used bowls and utensil and had it sent to the dishwasher machine and automatically rinsed and sanitised them for later use. Hahahahaha.

”Alright, ring leader...what would you like to do first? Grind or gather resources...?”

”For the time being, we gather resources first. JL you start with the stone mines and until you managed to gather them in a single strike and had managed to gather up to 6 stones, join Matilda to head to the iron mines.”

”I'd join up after I've gone to the market to buy about 5 catty of pork belly and get the butcher to slice it up for me and separate the skin. I'd like to make some Chicharonnes later. It's crispy pork rinds and I need to gather up the oil. It's yummy delicious...!”

”Alright, see you soon boss. I'd let you know the progress when you return,” answered Jean Lethal earnestly as I soon took off to the market using my Cruising Along. I bought the 5 catty of pork belly (butcher helped to remove the skin for me to make pork rinds), 3 pineapples (skin and spiky eyes removed), 1 catty of cucumber, 1 catty of half-ripe tomatoes and a bottle of vinegar and 2 packets of grounded black pepper.

As for the rice, I had bought 5 packets of the 5 spices. I packed everything and off i went back to the encampment on my Cruising Along. I placed everything off on the table for preparation of the dinner later and i went to the duo to observe how well they gather the resources especially Jean Lethal.

....

”Boss...I've managed to strike once and gather up to 6 stones now. I had gotten Matilda to gather up for me since my storage bag has limited caps. So, I just break up the mines and gather just the iron nuggets for this moment.”

”Yup...thats right. There are 4 mines here so take equally 2 each to mine. Don't worry about me, I'm going to fuse the shards over here. Matilda, may I have the 2 pouches of shards? You had separated the poor gems in your slots right?”

”Ya...they are all inside here in my storage bag. Here's the shards...good luck...!”

”I'd just be around here...if there's an emergency,just shake my shoulders.”

”You going to fuse the shards here? Where's the rest of the equipment? Are you just going to sit here and fuse these shards? Eehhh...it sure sounds and looks weird...”

”That's our ring leader, JL. He's one of a kind...Even till now he didn't tell me his secret...always diverting my questions tactfully.”

”Alright... let us work on the iron mines. I will pick up my own iron nuggets and you pick up everything ok?”

....

Meanwhile, I had already appeared in front of the Fusion Chamber in the Realm of Mind and there are 343 pieces of shards for rubies and emerald and i soon got to work.

This is the 8th day we had interacted with the dwarfs and with the number of shards, we are going to create 68 pieces of rubies and emeralds each and had a total of 78 pieces altogether. It is still too early for me to fuse the Fair gems and there are another 2 more weeks for us to give and grind when the time comes.
