The Anger of the Miners

Half a day had passed, and Qin Huangmo continued to watch the progress of the mining on the screens from the secret place. His initial astonishment had given way to numbness as he became accustomed to the scene.

In this half-day, the Lanyan Royal School disciples had managed to exhaust three fully stocked mines. The speed at which they mined was comparable to the output of his own force over six months. The mines they were depleting were not just ordinary but top-grade, making their extraction much more difficult.

"Brother Gu, with the amount of these ores, your disciples could probably secure first place just from the points they could exchange," Qin Huangmo remarked.

"Maybe, but there's still plenty of time left," Gu Lan modestly responded.
