After seeing Azba's offer, Su Xiao felt that the active ore in his hands was far from enough.

The layers of stone encasing the active ore were harder than many metals. The strength and endurance of male pigheads who mined year-round went without saying.
With Azba leading the way, Su Xiao wandered around half of the underground market before an idea occurred to him. Why not buy some 'defectives'—the pigheads who had been unruly while mining? The more disobedient they were, the stronger their awareness of resistance.
