"Thank you, Instructor!"
"Mm, off you go. I hope you become a pillar of the Human Race."
The instructor said this with a smile, then left.
Only Shen Ye remained.
"All right, I'll go look too..."
As he walked, he recalled the words that had come from the flying sword:
"Just choose that miner. He always wears a black baseball cap and likes standing still in the sun."
A miner...
Someone who had destroyed eight Evil Gods with a single strike had praised him so highly, even saying, "He's the only decent one in Xirang."
Should he look for him?
"Hey, Big Skeleton, do you think mining has any future?" Shen Ye asked uneasily.
"Mining certainly has no future, but you need to change your thinking and look at it from another angle," Big Skeleton said.
"Elaborate."
"Look, I've spent quite a bit of time in your world. I know this Xirang Middle School excavates a huge tomb, right?"
"Right."
"And this tomb is pretty dangerous. They haven't finished excavating it at all, right?"
"Right."
"Everyone else here is excavating a tomb, but he's mining-that seems to suggest something a little different."
"...You have a point."
Shen Ye nodded.
Big Skeleton's analysis was sound.
Besides, the fact that a miner could be a mentor said something in itself.
-A miner should be in a mine.
Shen Ye asked a soldier for directions to the mine, then hurried over.
-Actually, the mine here wasn't deep, and it seemed they had only done some shallow exploratory digging.
Miners gathered in groups of three or five in the mine's underground passage, playing cards, drinking, and smoking.
Were they this idle today?
Somewhat surprised, Shen Ye grabbed someone and asked:
"Sir, do you know someone who wears a black baseball cap and likes sunbathing?"
