"So, is there any other way?" Mining clearly wasn't reliable in the short term.
Su Qiao stroked her chin and tempted Little Four like an old wolf luring a child.
Maybe they could try their luck by the river?
The other 444 couldn't think of anything for the moment.
"But all the river sections nearby have been dug over countless times. Even many of the fields beside the river have been excavated until they're riddled with holes."

"All right. If we have time tomorrow, we'll go try our luck by the river. With you there, we'll know whether there's anything good as soon as you scan the area."
Going to the river was simpler than going into the mountains.
The mountains were extremely dangerous.
Bandits who specialized in robbing people of their gold were roaming around.
Besides, those mine shafts weren't places one could enter casually.
And she didn't have any excavation equipment.
