Chapter 9 – Mining

Translated by: FourTimesTwo

Edited by: Julia

Sorry for the last post. Previously I thought I would be away for a week, two weeks most. But somehow various circ.u.mstances occurred and I got delayed  The release for (maybe) next few weeks will be slowed down for some personal reasons.. Sorry for that

Chapter 1 – 3 have been edited. Chapter 4 – 8 will be edited soon as well.

Previously I have been using ‘ashen world’. It will be changed to ‘pale gray world’ from now on since ‘ashen’ seems too misleading lol

He rolled up his sleeves and walked toward the middle-aged man.

“You’ve arrived!”

The middle-aged man glanced at Lin Hao and nodded, seemingly not minding the clothes he wore, and continued to swing the pick in his hands.

Whenever he swung his pick, Lin Hao would feel fear and trepidation.

If he knew that the mine is about to collapse, would he continue to swing his pick like that?

“Stop stop!”

Lin Hao waved his hands and promptly stopped him.

“What’s the matter?” The middle-aged man wrinkled his brows.

“Cough cough……”

Lin Hao lightly coughed twice and pointed to the spot where the middle-aged man was mining, “This spot belongs to me now. You go to that side.”

While speaking, he pointed to the border of the mine.

Although that spot had less iron ores, that spot was much safer. However, that was only to Lin Hao’s eyes. To ordinary people, mining at that spot was an arduous and unrewarding task.

Considering other people’s perspective, even Lin Hao himself thought it was too much. The request he raised was simply picking a quarrel.

He had even come up with a reason in order to persuade the other party.

If it came to the worst case scenario, he would pretend to be a dandy and use the name of the Lin Family. That was what he thought.

Who knew that after hearing those words, the middle-aged man didn’t even raise an objection. He just took up his pick, looked at Lin Hao with wrinkled brows, and obediently walked to that spot on the border.

Is this for real?

Seeing this scene, Lin Hao was somewhat dumbstruck.

Did he think I’m a supervisor, or is it that he is too open and guileless?

What a strange person!

He thought about it again and felt something was odd. But since the other party followed his words obediently, then it was a good thing. He wouldn’t investigate the reason either. After all, he still had to think of a way to dispose this mine.

He slowly squinted his eyes as he thought.

Previously, he only took a quick look. This time, he examined it more carefully and found that the situation was more grave than his estimation!

Countless cracks intertwined with each other. Even if he managed to avoid the huge cracks, if he were to hit the tiny cracks, he might trigger a chain reaction and cause the entire mine to collapse at once!

Is this really a natural mine?

He was starting to have doubts. Would the natural world give birth to such a sinister topography?

This was simply a man-made array that was specially made for him. Once he starts mining, the mine would bury him!

Thinking this, he took a deep breath and didn’t dare to be careless.
