A crowd gathered around!

"The shipment was completed so quickly! It's truly a treasure trove! Uncle Jorar, you're incredibly lucky!"

Uvogin's eyes widened as he stared at the golden gleam in the pit below, and he said with considerable excitement.

Mina, standing to the side, looked at her father with starry eyes and said happily.

"As expected of my dad!"

Hearing Uvogin and his daughter's praise, Jorar coughed lightly, straightened his back slightly, and scratched the back of his head somewhat embarrassedly.

However, when he looked down at the [Power Pickaxe] in his hand, a hint of excitement appeared on his face.

This pampered "upper-class person" hadn't experienced the feeling of hard work for who knows how long.

With this sudden attempt and the added boost from the [Power Pickaxe], I felt pretty good!

At this moment, Uvogin jumped into the pit, his arm muscles bulging, and with a strong grab, pulled the gleaming gold brick, which had only a corner sticking out, directly out of the solid rock.

Upon closer inspection, everyone realized it was indeed the gold brick that Ian had thrown in directly.

In response, Ian, who was standing to the side, smiled and raised the corner of his mouth.

"Not bad, not bad, Uncle Jorar has a good hand. If he sells this gold bar, it'll be worth at least two million Jenny!"

"However, there's more than just this thing underground!"

"Everyone, get to digging! I hope everyone has a good harvest!"

Ian encouraged everyone.

Upon hearing his words, everyone's eyes lit up with interest, and they each took their equipment and began digging!

Jorar glanced at the group of people preparing to dig, then at his daughter Mina who was looking at him with starry eyes. He took off his suit jacket, rolled up his sleeves, and transformed into a mining expert.

Ian noticed that Mina wasn't carrying a pickaxe.

Using the [Small Light], I shrunk a [Power Pickaxe] and put it in her hand, which made her very happy.

Uvogin, Nobunaga, Feitan, and Ian, among others.

They concentrated their Nen, covering the ordinary iron pickaxes in their hands, and then dug with a clang, digging into the ground as solid as iron.

Each of their hammer blows sounded like striking a steel plate, producing a crisp metallic clang.

Each powerful swing only creates a small crater the size of a bowl in the ground, less efficient than Mina's [Power Pickaxe].

Before long, the group was drenched in sweat.

Illumi and the others were training alongside Ian and the others, their foreheads glistening with sweat.

The others around him looked relaxed. Milluki was also holding a [Power Pickaxe] and working hard to chisel, much faster than Illumi.

Before long, he had dug a deep pit in the ground large enough to bury him.

"Clang!"

Suddenly, after his pickaxe struck the rock, something emerged from the rock. His eyes lit up with joy, and he exclaimed excitedly.

"I've shipped my goods too!"

Then, he quickly tapped around, and after a while, he looked at the piece of cake in his hand with some surprise and exclaimed in astonishment.

"There's... a cake growing inside the ore!"

Holding the cake, he jumped out of the pit and grinned as he looked at Illumi and the others who were still digging hard.

"Brother Ian, Brother Uvogin, and Brother Illumi, look what I've dug up!"

"Huffing and puffing..."

Uvogin, Ian, and the others were panting heavily as they looked at Milluki's hand.

Nobunaga stopped what he was doing, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with some surprise.

"This is... the food Ian put in earlier? It actually grew from underground! Is it edible!?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Milluki opened his mouth wide and swallowed the cake in his hand in one gulp.

"Tasty!"

A satisfied expression spread across his face; the food he had dug out himself was simply delicious!

He quickly swallowed the cake, then winked at the group, a smile playing on his lips.

"Hey guys, give it your all! We haven't shipped anything yet, have we?"

After saying that, he quickly jumped into his pit and started digging again with a "clang, clang".

"That wretched brat, how dare he laugh at us!"

Nobunaga shook his head and smiled, then glanced at Uvogin beside him, his eyes narrowing.

"Hey, Uvogin, the casual game's over. Now... let's see who gets their loot first!"

Upon hearing his words, Uvogin returned a glance, grinned, and said earnestly.

"Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking!"

"From now on, it won't be a matter of leisurely play!"

He ripped off his sweat-soaked clothes, revealing his taut, muscular body, spat into his palm, and shouted.

"Come on, Nobunaga, let the duel begin!"

"Is that so? I won't lose to you, Uvogin!!" Nobunaga replied loudly with a cold laugh.

Then, the two men swung their arms like whirlwinds and began to dig with great force!

"Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!"...

A series of rapid knocking sounds followed, Mars Feitan speechless.

Ian was also sweating, realizing that his previous thoughts had been too naive.

Even though Nen was used.

But deep within the Gandor Ruins, these rocks are much harder than they are on the outside.

Therefore, digging it out was extremely difficult!

At this moment, my body is extremely tired, and I desperately want to use the [Power Pickaxe].

That hundredfold increase in power was unforgettable!

But he knew.

Their current goal is cultivation, so they are trying their best to suppress any thoughts of taking shortcuts, keeping their faces serious, and digging hard with all their might!

Dig! Dig! Dig!

"Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!"...

I don't know when.

Biscuit appeared above the pit, a smirk playing on her lips as she looked at Ian Uvogin, Nobunaga, and the others who were working tirelessly.

"Hey, young people, you all seem really energetic!"

Ian glanced at her, his hands still moving, panting heavily.

"No... wasn't it you who suggested we cultivate this way?"

"These little difficulties are nothing to us. Even if we're physically exhausted, as long as we persevere, our willpower will lead us to break through!"

Biscuit gave Ian a thumbs-up, winked, and smiled when she heard Ian words.

"Not bad, Ian!"

"In cultivation, this is how it should be: abandon all attempts to take shortcuts, focus on personal growth, and that is progress!"

After saying that, she raised her hand and showed it to Ian Uvogin and the others.

"Ahem, I came to express my Gratitude. As expected of Ian, I absolutely loved the game you suggested!"

Between her outstretched hands, she held a glittering golden gem in each hand—the very "Burning Sun" she had thrown into the pit earlier.

Upon seeing this, Ian and the others widened their eyes, and Uvogin blurted out.

"How could I have collected four gems so quickly!"

Biscuit covered her mouth, but couldn't hide the smile on her face. She waved her little hand at Uvogin, looking quite smug.

"It's nothing, just luck, nothing more. But thanks to Ian's [Power Pickaxe], it's incredibly convenient to use..."

Biscuit did not participate in this training.

Already possessing formidable strength, after wielding the [Power Pickaxe], perhaps only Tsubone on the field can match her speed.

On the field, Ian and his team had just dug a pit as deep as a person, but in the open space next to them...

Biscuit and Tsubone have dug a pit that is almost half the size of a basketball court.

After showing off, Biscuit waved her hand, secretly pleased.

"Bye, I need to keep searching for more treasures..."

"Xiao Yi, Xiao Jin, Xiao Dao, Xiao Fei, Xiao Ku, and Xiao Lin and Xiao Mi, keep up the good work and train hard!"

After saying that, he disappeared.

Ian, Feitan, Illumi, and the others were left looking at each other in bewilderment, speechless for a moment.

However, what they said is correct.

They can't let this guy outdo them!

Dig! Dig!

The thought of organizing this Treasure Hunt only to end up with a pittance made Ian feel ashamed!

With dignity at stake, the Nen within his body was boiling, and at this moment, the movements of his hands quickly accelerated!

A little while.

Inside the pit where they were, everyone had already taken off their shirts.

He gripped the pickaxe firmly and dug with all his might!

Half an hour later.

Whether it's the clever Ian, the cold-blooded Feitan, the meticulous Chrollo, or the expressionless Illumi.

At this moment, their faces were filthy and their bodies were covered in black soot, making them look like underage child laborers illegally employed in a black coal mine.

The sweat on his body evaporated as soon as it appeared under the boiling Nen.

But.

Fortunately, it wasn't a complete loss, thanks to the delicious food Ian had thrown in earlier.

They smashed it all with a loud bang.

When I felt extremely tired, I would occasionally dig up a plate of roasted chicken or a roasted pork leg, which served as a replenishment to boost my energy so I could continue digging.

Slowly...

The group caught up with Mina and Milluki's progress, and a stack of "treasures" they had dug from the vein had already accumulated around them.
