Before he knew it, five or six hours had passed since they'd entered the mine.
The Red Gold Mine in front of Yang Ling was already nearly half excavated.
The ordinary miners were astonished by his speed, and they couldn't help but feel even more respect for him.
"Have you noticed? Supervisor Yang is completely focused when he's mining. Looks like he really does love it..."
"That group seems pretty focused too, but they have to rest after a while, just like us. Not like Supervisor Yang—he's like a machine..."
Of everyone in the mine this time, Yang Ling's group of players was the most focused.
Mining earned them money as well as Experience Points.
This made the ordinary miners work even more diligently.
Before long, evening came.
The miners began leaving one after another.
As they passed Mine Tunnel No. 1, they could still hear the clanging sounds coming from deep within.
"They're still mining?"
"Don't they plan to go back and sleep? Are they eating and drinking down there, too?"
"They're really working themselves to the bone..."
Even as they said this, a hint of interest showed in some of the miners' eyes.
But they held back, intending to observe a little longer.
The next day, when it was time to start work, the miners entered one after another.
Fang Qingyang and the other supervisors, however, were somewhat on edge, worry showing between their brows.
Their eyes kept darting toward Mine Tunnel No. 1.
Finally, the thirty-second time they looked in that direction, Yang Ling emerged with his team.
Yang Ling still looked full of energy, but the other miners were all exhausted.
"Supervisor Yang and the others are out?"
"Come on, let's go take a look."
Yang Ling walked up to Fang Qingyang and dropped a cloth sack in front of him.
Seeing the bulging sack, Fang Qingyang forced a smile and began weighing it.
The nearby supervisors were all watching closely, not daring to blink.
"Thirteen jin..."
Fang Qingyang took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
"Whoa—"
The supervisors and miners alike sucked in a sharp breath. Even the Mine Guards were stunned.
A regular miner could only dig up one qian of Red Gold Mine in a day.
This Supervisor Yang alone had produced as much as more than a thousand experienced miners.
They simply couldn't imagine how he had managed it.
Fang Qingyang paid Yang Ling, then turned to Chen Xu and the others.
Chen Xu came forward with a smile and dropped off his sack.
"Four liang, eight hundred wen..."
Chen Guoqing and Li Tianye also stepped forward and set down their sacks.
"Four liang, eight hundred wen."
"Five liang, one thousand wen..."
After that, Fang Qingyang had no idea how he got through the rest of the day.
He mechanically paid the miners their wages.
The eyes of the nearby miners grew brighter and brighter.
At last, their gazes fell on the ordinary miners, the ones just like them.
The first group had all been using Fine Steel Crane Beak Hoes, so it was only natural that they mined faster. Besides, they'd gone down the Mine Shaft, where resources were plentiful. As long as they were willing to risk dying, they could save a lot of time searching for ore.
"How much did you dig up?"
"Come on, let's weigh it one by one."
A hint of anticipation showed in Fang Qingyang's eyes.
As long as these miners hadn't dug up much, the situation could still be salvaged.
"Supervisor Fang, I think I've got three qian here."
A simple, honest miner scratched his head sheepishly.
Compared with those ahead of him, his amount was indeed pitifully small.
But compared with his usual output, it was a full three times as much!
"Three qian..."
Fang Qingyang's expression shifted, but he still paid the man.
The next miner dropped off a sack containing only two qian.
This improved Fang Qingyang's mood a little.
But the third miner's sack contained four qian...
As the wavering miners nearby watched, their eyes grew brighter and brighter.
Fang Qingyang grew more and more uneasy.
Yang Ling stood some distance away, watching with a smile.
The ordinary miners here were strong, too.
Their Strength Attribute ranged from four to six.
They might not mine quickly, but once they went down the Mine Shaft, they spent less time searching for ore, which improved their mining efficiency all the same.
"Brother Yang, I understand now why there's a mining Level Up team."
Chen Xu's eyes lit up.
Chen Guoqing was also watching the expressions of the nearby miners, a smile appearing on his face.
They might really be able to establish themselves at the Red Gold Mine.
"Brother Yang, Senior Brother Xu's task to increase production should be achievable."
Chen Guoqing smiled. "Most miners are honest people. They just want to earn enough to support their families.
"If they can go underground safely and make money, nobody can stop them."
"Increase production?"
Since Li Tianye and Wang Haodong were standing nearby, they looked surprised when they heard this.
"Mountain River Sect requires the Red Gold Mine to produce three thousand five hundred jin of Red Gold Mine each month."
"If we can't meet the quota, my backer will have to give up the Red Gold Mine. Naturally, I won't be able to continue as supervisor."
Yang Ling smiled faintly.
Li Tianye and the others' expressions turned serious.
This was bad!
If Yang Ling left, who would they have to rely on?
The players quietly resolved to work even harder when they started mining again six hours later!
In the end, Fang Qingyang tallied the results.
In just one day, Yang Ling had led his team in bringing a full twenty-seven jin of Red Gold Mine out of Mine Tunnel No. 1!
Yang Ling alone had mined thirteen jin of it!
Fang Qingyang's mood eased somewhat.
