All sorts of wild ideas sprang madly into Aragaki Yasushi's mind, and he could no longer suppress the urge to mine.
Aragaki Yasushi gripped the Wooden Pickaxe in his hand and, without the slightest hesitation, started digging straight into the ground beneath his feet.
The Wooden Pickaxe struck the soft earth hard, and familiar spiderweb-like cracks instantly appeared.
But these cracks were completely different from the effects he had seen while chopping trees or mining stone.
Whether it was a tree or a rock, the cracks would spread without limit across the entire object until it completely fell apart.
Yet on the dirt beneath his feet, the cracks only spread across an area of one square meter before stopping completely, without extending another inch.
It was remarkably regular, perfectly matching the detection range of a single block.
Aragaki Yasushi raised his hand and swung the Wooden Pickaxe several more times in quick succession.
"Crack!"
With a soft sound, the one-square-meter patch of dirt beneath his feet directly turned into a standard Dirt Block and fell out.
A neat, square pit exactly one meter deep appeared beneath his feet.
It was identical to a pit dug out in the game.
Aragaki Yasushi's eyes lit up as he figured out the rules.
Objects like trees and rocks were judged and broken down as whole entities, while flat layers of soil were judged and mined separately according to the game's mechanics.

Every swing removed a one-cubic-meter Dirt Block.
Before long, a straight, deep vertical pit appeared in the forest clearing, its pitch-black opening leading directly underground.
