"How is the mining of this vein going?" Spirit Sacrifice asked.
"It's more or less been completely mined out. Here, this is the remaining share of the vein, after deducting my portion."
Wu Heng handed the cluster of dreams in his hand to Spirit Sacrifice. Spirit Sacrifice did not stand on ceremony either. Most of it consisted of debts he had incurred from borrowing from others, and this was no time for politeness.
There was an approximate total amount of ore in the entire mine, so there was no way to falsify this.

Spirit Sacrifice put it away.
Then he glanced at Wu Heng's left hand and said, "I came for two reasons. The first concerns the attacks from the other two worlds. They should be coming soon."
"I hope you can use your method to quickly mine out the veins, including—but not limited to—this one."
"At many nodes in the Western Hemisphere, the ordinary people have already been relocated to the Eastern Hemisphere. But since the veins at those nodes have not yet been fully mined, abandoning them would be a waste, while keeping them is of little use."
