A growing strength

Gary continued his mining work, and if he wasn’t working hard before, he definitely was working super hard now. He was crushing large pieces, taking chunks out with just a couple of swings and then would place his hands on them for a few moments.

Depending on whether the system screen would pop up or not would depend on whether Gary would break it down into smaller pieces, before secretly pulling out what he needed from it. He continued this, looking for specific types of crystals, and of course, he wouldn't take every crystal.

The actions looked a bit strange, as they couldn't comprehend why he would break some pieces down and not the others. Besides, there was a machine that would crumble the larger pieces into smaller pieces.

It was just their job to get it off this piece of rock, or mountain, whatever it was.

Gary wiped the sweat from his forehead as it was hot inside, but he still didn’t slow down. He had great endurance, one of the best after all.
