Chapter 812 Finally Harvested Something (2/2)

The little bug flew out once again while Ali was still hiding behind Li Du's calves. Instead of waiting for Li Du's command, the little bug burrowed speedily into Ali's head!

Seeing this, Li Du confirmed a speculation of his, and sort of knew how the little bug chose which animals' brains to modify and also which animals' energy to absorb while within their bodies.

The little bug would only choose animals who truly trusted Li Du such as Ah Ow. Ah Ow had seen Li Du right after first opening her eyes and had been raised by him. She treated Li Du like he was her parent.

As Li Du had been constantly protecting Ali from being bullied by Ah Ow, Ah Meow, and Crispy Noodles for the last few days, Ali's fondness and trust in Li Du kept increasing.

Finally, when Ali went into the tunnel, those feelings it had for Li Du had reached the threshold level. Having sensed this, the little bug began modifying Ali.

When the little bug re-emerged a few seconds later, it had a slightly larger size than before and seemed to be a little more evolved.

With a pair of large eyes that had become even more lustrous, Ali tilted its head and looked at Li Du. Li Du also looked at Ali and felt that its eyes had become more lively.

After the human and animal stared at each other for a few seconds, Ali hopped in front of Li Du, and then hopped up and down vigorously in an attempt to get Li Du to carry it.

Li Du smiled, touched the kangaroo's head, and said, ”Behave. I will bring you out later. Go have fun by yourself, ok?”

After blinking its eyes, the kangaroo hopped over to a section of the tunnel behind Li Du.

When Li Du picked up the rock hand drill machine and continued drilling, a few pieces of shattered rocks flew out. Earlier, as the kangaroo had no idea what was going on, Li Du had to use his legs to cover and protect Ali.

This time around, the kangaroo took the initiative to hide behind a large piece of rock and would pop its head out from time to time to look around. Having confirmed that Li Du was still around, it would continue hiding behind the piece of rock and wait calmly for him.

The black opal vein was very localized, and the black opals were all in nearby areas. Li Du called for Godzilla to come down and help him. With two people working together, Li Du would be able to retrieve the black opals at a much faster rate.

Both Godzilla and Brother Wolf had a bonus point in their favor. No matter what they saw, they would not care or ask and would immediately carry out Li Du's orders.

As for the results? It was not something that they needed to be concerned with.

After spending a week's time digging his way to this location, Li Du only spent a day to dig out all the gemstones that were in the vein.

In this location, Li Du dug out a total of 55 gemstones. As the gemstones were encased in rocks, which took up a lot of space, half of the space in the little bug's black hole was used up.

Having dug out the rocks, all that was left was backfilling.

Li Du went back to the surface and said, ”Have a good rest tonight. Starting tomorrow, we will backfill the tunnel.”

Lu Guan asked curiously, ”Not digging anymore? We still haven't gotten anything.”

This was where Lu Guan and Big Quinn differed from Brother Wolf and Godzilla. Both Lu Guan and Big Quinn were fond of asking Li Du about matters that they were uncertain about.

Li Du replied, ”The purpose of me digging this tunnel was not to find gemstones but to annoy that bastard, Blanchett.”

Lu Guan asked, ”How does that annoy him? Unless we manage to dig out gemstones, he will not be annoyed.”

Li Du smiled. ”Even though we were not able to dig out any gemstones, there are lots of people here who have. Just wait and see. When we go back to town today, you will spread the news that we have dug gemstones out of the number 115 mine.”

Lu Guan still wanted to ask more questions. As Li Du did not want to explain anymore, he said, ”Just spreading the news will do. I will find gemstones to help in your story. In time, not only will we be able to annoy Blanchett, we might also be able to find someone to buy the number 115 mine and take it off our hands.

”Also, Sophie, call Harry Winston's President Cole and ask him if he needs high-quality black opals.”
