14 Purity Five (2/2)

Mining was an arduous task, but players, including spellcasters like Roland, had much better body builds than regular people did. When he started to work, his hoe was always hitting the hard rocks or getting stuck in the crevices, but half an hour later, Roland felt that he was getting the hang of it.

A yellow and white rock was dug out. Roland picked it up and observed it for a moment. Then, he shook his head, threw it away, and worked on. Before, when Galen opened the warehouse, he had snapped the minerals in the warehouse with the photo function of the system, which allowed him to compare the rocks he dug out to the existing ones to evaluate their value.

Of course, the comparison couldn't be accurate, but it was much better than random guesses.

After another hour, the other miners sat down and rested, but Roland kept working. Those miners gathered and pointed at him. There was even vague laughter. They must be mocking Roland because they thought that Roland couldn't persist much longer.

Roland ignored them and carried on. He had to keep trying until he felt exhausted.

Those miners rested for a while and went back to work. An hour later, they were too tired to work on again, yet Roland was still waving his hoe. This time, they didn't tease Roland and just gazed at him in silence.

After resting for a while, they continued digging, but when they gathered again and rested an hour later, Roland was still waving his hoe.

The miners stared at the thin young man in disbelief. Someone couldn't hold back anymore and approached Roland. He looked at the rocks in Roland's basket and the dent on the wall that Roland had just created with complicated feelings.

Roland pried a stone off the wall and threw it back into the basket. He smiled at the miner who approached him and left the mine with the heavy basket.

At this moment, Language Proficiency was already over. It was impossible for him to communicate with others.

The miners watched him leave. Looking at their baskets that were still half-empty, they all lost motivation to work.

Roland left the cave with the basket. It took him quite a while to become used to the dazzling sunlight outside. In the end, he dragged the basket to Galen and heaved it onto Galen's desk.

The basket was so heavy that the desk almost collapsed. Galen was greatly surprised and woke up from his dream. He exclaimed after he saw the basket and Roland behind it.

However, Roland couldn't understand him now. After Galen made a long speech, he could only shrug helplessly. ”Sorry, Language Proficiency is over.”

Galen was stunned, because he couldn't understand Roland, either. However, as a merchant who traveled a lot, he guessed what had happened.

There were more things that he wanted to say, but he could only shut up now. He moved the basket down to the ground and screened the rocks in the basket. The worthless ones were thrown away, and the valuable ones were divided into three heaps according to their quality. In the end, he counted them and put twenty-eight coins on the desk.

Roland took the coins and left without saying anything.
