Mining Team

Wang Lei arrived at a Mining Oriental Firm, which took him at least 30 minutes to reach after riding a public carriage. This was the sole firm that provided mining services in the black cities; primarily, this firm hired all those with greater strength than the typical person. He entered the team-gathering area, which was positioned on the firm's left side of the building.

This mining team captain is Li wei, who is about 17 years old and attends the heart school, which is a top school in the outer area of the black city. He is also the younger son of the director of the Mining Oriental firm. His character can only be described in one word: a burden to the earth and pervert who constantly harasses the mining members.

The entire mining member wanted to beat him till he vomited, but he is a second-stage body class soldier, and his father is the mining firm's director. They can only crush him within their own hearts.

Li wei once harassed a mining team member's sister who came to deliver a lunch box to her brother on her brother's birthday. Her brother grew so enraged that he punched Li wei in the face, after which Li wei crippled his both legs and hand, as well as buying their land illegally and dumping their family on the road like an animal. This was simply a small part of his horrible deed. Following that incident, all mining team members, including Wang Lei, requested that their family members not visit their mining firm.

Wang Lei saw his mining friends Li young, Liu wei, Liu jin, and Liu young, to whom he was closer than others. His friend also recognizes him; it was simple to notice him because of the cheaper clothing he wears on a daily basis to save money. Wang Lei's mining team had also not seen his true face; their only assumption was that his half of the face hidden by the mask was disfigured. As a result, they simply felt sorrow for him.

"Li young, you quite lost some weight," Wang Lei said as he walked to his friend's.

"Fatty had fallen for a girl who works at an inn so, fatty is reducing weight to purposed that girl," Liu jin explained.

All of Li young's friend turn to look at him when they hear this word.

'In this age, it is natural to fall in love, yet current society concentrates on their strength, background, and status,' Wang Lei ponder.

Even if they both fall in love, her family will not accept it. The Li young family, like Wang Lei's, is impoverished; in order to send him to private school, his family sold their home and is now living in a rented room. Wang Lei shook his head and patted Li young shoulder.

Li young is aware of what his friend was thinking. "Don't worry, I'm just seeking that girl I fell in love in at first sight."

Suddenly, they hear a familiar voice: "Motherf**ker, keep your sound down."

When they heard Li wei voice, every mining member's heart trembled, and he was followed by his three lackeys, who always followed him to please with their words. He also assisted them in gaining admission to Sunny School.

The entire mining member, including Wang Lei and his friend, fell silent and dropped their heads.

"Pieces of trash, all of you follow this father in mining cave, if any of you slack off in mining, this father will let you taste my crap," Li Wei threatens to the miners loudly.

The blood of the entire mining team was boiling like a volcano. Most miners were students or low-income members of society who needed to feed their families, so they remained silent. After a few minutes, mining carriages arrived, and all miners boarded. Wang Lei stood silently on one side of the carriage, looking out the window. This vehicle did not require a horse; it ran on qi with the assistance of an inscription that absorbed the surrounding qi and powered the carriage to run.

Li wei was following the carriage with a mortal tiers two horn horse, which is the same size as an ordinary horse but much stronger and more gorgeous. The entire mining crew can only catch a fleeting sight of the two-horned horse. They could never have imagined touching it in their entire lives.

They got at the mining region, which was near the Black city's outer area gate, after an hour. This location had no houses, only a modest hut for a guard to relax, and it was surrounded by a forest. They mined the low-grade mortal stone, which was uneven in shape, on a regular basis here. The top three branch academies of the black city control this qi stone mine, which also must submit a specific amount of qi stone to the central plain. Qi stone is a naturally produced stone that contains qi energy and also naturally store a large amount of qi based on their level, which is further classified as low, mid, high, and peak.

In this mining cave, there were 20 guards from the top three academies providing security. These guards inspect all mining members, including Li wei, as they enter and exit the mine to ensure that no one steals qi stone. Even Li wei, who was always haughty, became a decent boy and addressed the guards as elder brothers, never daring to address them as friends.

After entering a mining region, all guards verify mining members one by one, which takes around 30 minutes. Each member then carries a spade, shovel, hoe, trowel, and pickaxe, all of which have a far better durability than typical mining usefulness.

Wang Lei and his friends began to mine with a spade, a shovel, and other tools. After 4 hours of mining, they would stop for lunch and begin loading all of the qi stone into a carriage.

They were paid on the basis of their mining qi stone at the end of their shift. Wang Lei low strength has always resulted in his receiving low wages. On average, he received two silver coins, while the other earned three silver coins. Copper, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Purple Coins were used as currency during this time period (1 silver=100 copper, 1 gold=100 silver, 1 platinum=100 gold, 1 Purple=100 platinum).

Wang Lei used to make 10 silver every month while in school by working part-time and renting out a room. He spends five silvers on his mother's health care, which was a basic service until last month. He had started mining and got more silver, so he had changed his mother's medical treatment to average treatment, which cost him 30 silver per month, which can feed an average household for 6 months. This demonstrates how much he cared about his mother.

They all return to the Mining Oriental Firm in the evening and go home. This was a typical day in the life of a miner. When Wang Lei returned home, he noticed his sister studying her schoolbooks. His sister wanted to go to a government school so that she would be less of a burden on her brother, but Wang Lei had forced her to attend a private school. Government schools are not well governed, so it was not good for girls. Furthermore, in private school, Wang Lei's sister worked hard and always came in first place, earning her a scholarship, so he was not worried about his sister's school expenditures.

Wang fang closed her book after seeing her brother and said, "Brother, you looked exhausted, rest for a time. I'll cook dinner for you." Wang Lei nodded and went to his room to take a bath and sleep for a few minutes.

She called her brother for dinner after some time had passed. Wang Lei shares a meal with his sister. He instantly recalls that her sister's thirteenth birthday is tomorrow. He always spent the entire day with his sister on her birthday.

On this birthday, he wanted to take her sister to the medicinal garden because his sister has always desired to be a physician; however, the entry to the medical garden was extremely pricey. While their father was with them, he and his sister had only been to the medicinal garden.'

Wang Lei finished his meal and helped her sister with the dishwashing.

He went into his room, having previously made his monthly payment to the infirmary. He was looking for and asking his friend from a his home sound transmission device for the medicinal garden ticket price for his sister, and after some time, he returned with two tickets, each costing 30 silver. This month, he has spent half of his monthly mining wage. He now only has about ten silver in his possession, which was sufficient for this month's expenses.

Wang Lei gets up early today and submits a letter of leave before beginning his morning routine. When he entered the kitchen, he was greeted by her sister, who was busy preparing breakfast and smiling at him. Wang Lei came in and ate breakfast without saying anything to her.

"Little fang, is there any problem with my face or did I look more handsome today than other days?" Wang Lei questioned after seeing his sister staring at him without blinking her eyes.

Wang fang was enraged after hearing her brother's words: "No, you look uglier now than other days."

She entered her room and closed the door.

"Let's go to the infirmary to greet mother, little Fang," Wang Lei says, smiling slightly.

Wang Fang listened to his brother and put on a dress that his brother had given her on a previous birthday, before approaching him and asking, "Brother, do I look okay in this dress?"

Wang Lei recalled the yellow half-sleeve dress he had given her and so understands his sister's motives. He only answered "Good," so she moved in front of her brother and stabbed him in the leg with her small foot, then walked out the door.

He followed the lead of her sister. After boarding the carriage, they arrived at the Black Medical Infirmary, which located on the borders of the Black city's inner region, where most of the people from the outer area opened their shops and conducted other business. The entire region was encircled by modest buildings, with the tallest being eight stories.

He and his sister entered the room of their mother. His mother, Wang Xiu Ying, has the same characteristics as his sister and has a few white hairs. This year, Wang Lei's mother turned 40 years

Wang Lei and his sister both had moister in their eyes after seeing their mother's face. Wang Lei hurriedly rubbed his moister eyes and patted his sister's head, and said, "little Fang, let's go visiting hours had finished, we will come back another time to visit mother."

Wang Fang did not respond, merely nodded and exited the infirmary. Wang Lei took her sister's hand in hers and walked alongside her. He and his sister arrived at the medical garden, and his sister had a quick sight of the garden.

"Would you like to go?"

Wang Fang pondered for a time before shaking her head.

"Happy birthday, little sister," Wang Lei said as he took two tickets from his pocket and placed them in his sister's hand.

His sister's eyes welled up with tears and she puzzledly said, "...Brother... you... remember my birthday, but this ticket is so expensive."

Wang Lei rubbed her sister's head. "You are more dear to me than anything," he said as he took his sister's hand in his and led her to the garden.

He and his sister both arrived home in the evening. He can see his sister's joy clearly on her face.
