Chapter 15 Clearing the labyrinth caves (Part 6)
Yukikaze woke up after she had slept for an unknown amount of time.
When she regained her senses she excitedly looked where she placed her punji traps but got disappointed seeing that nothing decided to step into them.
With disappointment written on her face she pulled out one of the two remaining white rabbits out of her (system inventory) and started devouring it.
` I have only today before I run out of food and I still need to find two more resources to complete the quest. `
Yukikaze quickly dug the punji traps out of the ground and stored them inside her (system inventory) for later usage.
After that she continued onward leaving behind only the holes which had contained her punji traps.
After a short walk she arrived back at the main tunnel and followed it. After a while she finally found another recource which in this case was copper. Yukikaze still used (Appraisal Lv.3) on it to get the quest progress.
Name: Copper
Grade: Common
Quest progress: 4/5
` Almost done. After I find gold I completed this quest and can leave to gather more food. `
Yukikaze quickly continued down the path. But it split again. The left tunnel had a sign that said "Gold" while the right tunnel had no sign. Instead the right tunnel had a barely noticeable purple light coming from it. Yukikaze quickly took the left tunnel since she wants to get that quest done as her first priority. If she finds the gold fast enough she can come back afterwards anyway.
Yukikaze continued her way through the tunnel until she found a white stone. She used (Appraisal Lv.3) on it to get more information on it.

` I could go back to that strange tunnel but I wanna find gold first. It can`t be to far away anymore. `
Yukikaze moved quickly towards the direction in which she should find the gold.
` That new Quest will take some time to complete. It`s better if I ignore this quest for now since I have other things to do. `
Yukikaze found what she searched shortly after the quartz ended.
Name: Gold
Grade: Uncommon
` Gold is just uncommon. So it isn`t even that rare. Maybe it is barely anything worth in this world? Oh well I now know it is here so I can use it if I choose to do so. Now the only thing I have to do is to check out that other tunnel and than I can leave this mine. I really want to see the blue sky again. `
On her way towards the strange tunnel she checked her status to keep herself from being bored.

Knowledge coins 800
` Well seems like my stats are growing fast enough for now. I even have 800 Knowledge coins. The Ancient Technic costs 3000 Knowledge coins which means I have almost a third of the required amount. I wonder what kind of Technic it is? But something old is not always good so it could be a total waste of time as well. `
While checking her status she noticed something quiet annoying to her.
`No no no that isn`t allowed to exist. It`s just annoying. `
The reason why Yukikaze was a bit annoyed was because her strength stat was at 39. Yukikaze quickly spent a Stat point to raise it to 40.
` It`s looking so much better that way. ` Yukikaze thought ignoring the fact that she quiet possibly wasted a stat point.
After she was done checking her system and her ability's she arrived back ate the strange tunnel and entered it. What she found was a new ore that defiantly wasn`t normal. She used (Appraisal Lv.3) on it to gain more info.
Name: Arid ore
Grade: Epic
` What no info? Maybe I can ask that butler Albert later what exactly Arid ore is and what uses it has. I could also search through the library in my castle. Well the ore won`t run away so I should be able to inform myself before I start mining it. Don`t want to cause a nuclear explosion which is extremely unlikely but so is reincarnation. `
Yukikaze continued her way out of the mine. After she left the mine she started to move along the path that brings her to the exit of the cave. She hasn`t much food left. One white rabbit to be exact and she doesn`t want to starve even if it is for just a couple hours.
She crossed the "Bridge of Mist" seeing her new castle in the distance. She decided against going back to the castle immediately to first secure herself more food. Afterwards she could come back and search for information of that mysterious arid ore as well as command her newly gained miner.
Yukikaze left the cave and was outside again hearing the rushing water of the small waterfall next to the cave. Looking at the sky she could see a couple stars as well as the light of the sun slowly coming over the horizon.
`So I was either two days or three days in the cave. Since I have neither a clock or a sun down there I. ` Of course Yukikaze could have asked the system but she isn`t that smart yet.
She sat on a rock in front of the cave entrance/exit and watched the sun rise starting yet another day in her great adventure.
