Ordinary observers in fast time travel

Chapter 1099 10?
Used for mineral exploration?
Shi Jia curiously examined the retro-looking disc. She was somewhat curious about how it worked. Mineral detection instruments also existed in the last world; their principle was based on the absorption and reflection characteristics of different minerals to specific electromagnetic radiation.

So, does this prospecting disk also operate on the same principle?

He followed Aquil curiously, his eyes fixed on the prospecting disc and the pink lights.

Time passed slowly, the sun began to set, and night was about to fall.

Aquil held up the prospecting disc and surveyed almost the entire area within a three-kilometer radius. But the pink light remained unmoved; in fact, it dimmed considerably due to energy depletion.

Aqui was already extremely annoyed; if it weren't for Madam Lanxin's request, he would have thrown the detector away long ago.

Contrary to her outward composure, Lady Lanxin had actually lost hope in the prospect of exploring the rose quartz mine.

Of course, the most disappointed person was Shi Jia. He was not only disappointed, but also afraid, worried that Madam Lanxin would get angry and leave him here.

Just as the three were distracted, Madam Lanxin suddenly spoke up, "A-Kui, let's call it a day."

Upon hearing this, the somewhat numb Aqui was taken aback for a moment before reacting, "Oh, okay, madam."

Shi Jia made no attempt to hide her disappointment upon hearing this.

“I’ll put the prospecting tray away now.” Aquie stretched his stiff arm and used one hand to remove the rose quartz embedded in it.

The mineral exploration disk is very different from the mineral detection instruments of the last world. The biggest difference is that there is no switch. You have to insert the corresponding ore every time you want to use it, and you have to remove the ore when you don't want to use it.

Before Aqui's hand even touched the rose quartz, pink light suddenly began flashing on the prospecting disc. Just as Mrs. Lanxin was about to return to the car, she abruptly turned her head to look.

Surprise and delight welled up in her heart in an instant, and her eyes shone with a bright light.

"Ah-Kui, wait a minute!"

Aqui naturally noticed the changes in the prospecting area as well; his hand froze in mid-air, and the same surprise appeared on his face.

Seeing the two's reactions, Shi Jia, who was the most disappointed, understood everything. "Have you found a rose quartz mine?"

"Yes!" came Madam Lanxin's reply. She strode over, staring at the constantly flashing pink light on the prospecting panel, as if confirming something. After a while, she said, "Aquil, check the size of the ore."

"Yes!"

Aqui continued to probe the surroundings with his prospecting disc. Unlike the mechanical movement before, this time Aqui was full of energy and enthusiasm.

An hour later, it was completely dark, and Aqui finally determined the extent and size of the ore.

He looked at Madam Lanxin excitedly, "Madam, this is a goldmine!"

Madam Lanxin nodded. "Alright, thank you for your hard work. Go and rest in the car for a bit. I'll set up a barrier here first, and then have someone come and dig it up tomorrow."

"Thank you, madam, it's no trouble at all." Aquilina scratched his head.

Madam Lanxin said nothing more. She simply stretched out her hand, grasped the air, and colorful light gathered in her hand, gradually solidifying into a blue calligraphy brush.

The pen is 9 inches long, the bristles are 1.5 inches long, and the diameter is half an inch. The entire pen is radiant and extremely beautiful.

Curiosity, excitement, and envy flashed in Shi Jia's eyes as he stared intently at Madam Lan Xin's movements.

Madam Lanxin held the brush and seemed to draw a circle in the air, then a cross, and wrote a series of patterns that Shi Jia couldn't understand. Finally, she pointed it into the air.

Immediately afterwards, a complex circular pattern appeared out of thin air. If Shi Jia remembered, she knew that this pattern was the one that Lady Lan Xin had just drawn.

Unfortunately, Shi Jia was completely dizzy at the moment, and her head was almost a complete mess.

Lady Lanxin threw the pattern into the area of ​​the rose mine that Aqui had detected. The pattern quickly grew larger and, like the Buddha's palm, descended from the sky into that area and disappeared.

"Alright, let's go." Her hand trembled in the air, and the blue calligraphy brush disappeared. She took two steps and found Shi Jia still staring blankly into the air. She frowned, "Little brother?" She called out twice, but there was no response.

A-Kui walked over to Shi Jia, poked him with a finger, and said, "Hey~"

Shi Jia's body fell backward upon contact, and A-Kui quickly reached out to grab her. Shi Jia's face was directly facing the moonlight, and the bloodstains at the corners of her eyes were clearly visible in the moonlight.

"Hiss~ Madam, his eyes are bleeding!" Aquie exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, Madam Lanxin approached and immediately understood what was going on. "She does have some talent. Let's bring her in the carriage."

"Huh? Talent? Okay."

On the way, Aqui was still thinking about the matter of talent, and after holding back, he asked, "Madam, you said he has talent? What do you mean?"

Madam Lanxin was in a good mood and said, "He just used his spiritual sense."

“Spiritual awareness? But isn’t he an ordinary person?” Aqui asked in surprise.

"This is what I mean by talent. This young man has developed spiritual awareness for some reason, but he is still an ordinary person. Therefore, when he tried to use his spiritual awareness to see the array I drew, his eyes couldn't withstand it and started bleeding," said Madam Lanxin.

"So that's how it is. Then his spiritual consciousness is useless." Aqui felt a little better.

"Well, it's not very useful, except that it makes you more sensitive to danger."

……

The next day, Shi Jiasheng opened his eyes dejectedly. He knew he had fainted again. Sun Yu's health was too poor! He had fainted several times in just a few days.

He looked around; it was the same room as yesterday. He went out as if he knew the way well, and saw Madam Lanxin sitting in the living room, fiddling with a jar.

"woke up?"

"Madam," Shi Jia said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm sorry to have troubled you again yesterday."

Madam Lan Xin smiled and looked at him, "Don't stare at other people drawing array diagrams in the future. With your body, you might explode and die if you're not careful."

Upon hearing this, Shi Jia thought of the increasingly blurry and mentally taxing image from yesterday, and shuddered. "Yes, thank you for your guidance, Madam."

"There's breakfast on the table, along with your payment. Eat breakfast and then leave." Madam Lanxin disliked beating around the bush.

Shi Jia turned his head and was shocked to see a bowl of porridge, a plate of steamed buns, and a thick envelope on the delivery table. He quickly walked over.

He picked up the envelope, opened it, and saw ten stacks of banknotes. He eagerly took out one stack and counted them. There were one hundred bills! One hundred each, which is… “Huh, only one hundred thousand?”

Shi Jia's voice was soft, but anyone with eyes could tell she was disappointed and dissatisfied. The next second, he quickly covered his mouth, a flash of annoyance in his eyes, and cautiously turned to look at Madam Lan Xin.

However, as he turned his head, Shi Jia's breath caught in his throat, and he came face to face with Madam Lan Xin.

Madam Lanxin's eyes were calm, revealing neither joy nor anger.

Shi Jia felt a little embarrassed, her hand tightening around the banknotes, her eyes darting around nervously. "Um, um, I didn't mean anything by it. I'm not upset at all, really!"

Madam Lan Xin chuckled, "It's alright. You've done me a great favor this time. Tell me, how much do you want?"

One hundred thousand is actually quite a lot; it's already the price of a low-grade amethyst. However, the reserves of rose quartz are substantial, so giving more wouldn't be a problem.

However, Shi Jia felt even more embarrassed after hearing this. "Madam, I really don't mind, really."

"Speak!" That single word carried an imposing authority without even being angry!
