“However, Silvermane Iron Guard girl, this may sound harsh to you, but if you just ask around in town, you’ll know how we’ve been all these years because of her order. The resentment the lower districts hold towards you can’t be explained in just a few words.”
Oleg shook his head.
"Getting back to the main point, the 'person' I was just talking about is Schwarzlo."
"Swarovski? Wasn't that robot we just defeated in the boxing ring supposed to be Boss Schwarovski's robot?"
"Besides, isn't it said that Schwarzlo and Earthfire are mortal enemies?"
March 7th looked surprised. On the way here, Seele had told the others about Swaro.
“Swarovski is just a robot, so why would it know such important secrets about the star core?” Danheng asked.
"A mortal enemy? No, in my opinion it's just a cold, impersonal machine that only recognizes its own calculations. It's not that it's fighting against the Earth Fire; in fact, it's that it never took the Earth Fire seriously from the beginning."
"Furthermore, although Schwarz is a robot, it is an ancient robot that participated in that war a long time ago. The star core you are looking for is also something that has been around for a long time. If even Schwarz doesn't know about it, then I'm afraid no one else in the entire Lower Zone knows about it."
Oleg shrugged.
"However, I can't help you with how to contact Schwarzro. We've tried to negotiate with him several times to mediate the conflict between the two sides, but we've been rejected every time."
Moreover, we now face an even more pressing problem: the mineral marrow is almost depleted. If we can't find new mineral marrow soon, the entire lower zone may face an energy crisis.
Oleg sighed, feeling extremely troubled. He, too, was facing a host of problems.
"The mineral marrow is almost gone? Haven't you found any new ones?"
Zhou Xingxing was stunned for a moment. Had his group arrived earlier than expected?
Didn't Hook's father find a large mineral marrow in the lower area?
"It's not that easy. Mineral marrow is something that can be found by chance, and our production is not high. If it were that easy to find, there wouldn't be so many people going hungry."
Oliver glanced helplessly at Stephen Chow, after all, Stephen Chow wasn't from the Lower District and naturally didn't understand the difficulties there.
What if we had this?
Zhou Xingxing took out the mineral marrow detector that he had previously bought from Shiluvana.
Oleg stared wide-eyed at what Stephen Chow was holding, his eyes practically gleaming.
"This is... a detector!?"
Chapter 28 Night in the Lower District
"Hey, this is what you bought in Hilvana... was this part of your calculations too?!"
Qiong stared wide-eyed at Zhou Xingxing in astonishment.
"What a coincidence..."
Zhou Xingxing scratched his head sheepishly. He had originally intended to buy it as a gift for Hook, who was being treated as her father.
Unexpectedly, my timeline is earlier than the game's storyline, and the mineral vein hasn't been found yet.
In that case, the detector will be of great use.
"Oh, brother, you're a real lifesaver! With this, finding mineral marrow will be much easier."
Oleg's face lit up with a smile.
“I observed the celestial phenomena at night and sensed that there was a huge mineral vein nearby.”
Zhou Xingxing looked around and noticed that the terrain here was slightly different from that in the game, probably because the mineral veins not far away had not yet been discovered.
"Is this for real? Dude, you're not kidding me, are you?"
Oleg was astonished. Could the person in front of him be some kind of divine being who could observe the celestial phenomena at night?
But Oleg immediately looked up and saw that the sky was all rock walls, so how could there be any celestial phenomena in the lower area?
"Really, I guarantee it, it's right here."
Zhou Xingxing turned on the detector and walked to an open space in front of him.
"Drip drip drip."
The detector emitted a sound, which became more intense as Zhou Xingxing walked forward.
"What! The mineral vein is actually so close to us! Quick, a few people come here!"
Oleg was so excited that he ignored everyone else and led a few people to start digging with shovels and picks.
After digging about two or three meters deep, a patch of orange light pierced through the thin rock wall and appeared.
"It's true, Chief! What a huge mine of mineral marrow! The places we've been digging are all glowing!"
The remaining miners were overjoyed and worked even harder.
"Oh no, Xing, I didn't expect you to actually know how to tell fortunes! Why don't you tell my fortune?"
On March 7th, having no other choice, he grabbed Xing's arm and asked her to tell his fortune.
"No way! You're my brother! Calculate it for me first!"
Qiong also grabbed Zhou Xingxing's arm.
This action put Stephen Chow in an awkward position, because when he traveled through time, the plot hadn't yet reached the point where he could tell the fortunes of these two.
So he casually copied a few standard fortune-telling phrases and sent the two away, satisfied.
"First food, then curing pneumoconiosis, and now finding a vital mineral vein for the lower zone. Star, you're really amazing. There aren't many people who can make me, Seele, completely convinced, but you're one of them."
Xi'er looked at Zhou Xingxing, her tone full of sincere admiration.
"Didn't you doubt Xing before?"
Bronya smiled slightly and teased Seele.
"Who knew he was so capable? Otherwise, I wouldn't have needed him to run around; I would have just respectfully brought Oleg to him directly," Seele said with a smile.
Oleg had already confirmed that this was indeed a vast mineral vein, and immediately sent people to seal off the mining area.
“Brother Xing, on behalf of Di Huo, I sincerely thank you for your contributions to the lower district. This mineral vein can save many lives.”
Oleg bowed deeply to Stephen Chow.
"Xier, you represent Earthfire and do your best to assist Brother Xing and his group in finding the Star Core. If you don't have enough manpower, just let me know."
"Don't worry, Chief, I'll handle it. I guarantee it will be done perfectly for you."
Seele patted her chest and said with a confident expression.
Oleg nodded.
"Well, it's getting late. You must have all been busy all day. I'll arrange a hotel for you. Get some rest tonight."
"I hope nothing goes wrong during this break?"
March 7th chuckled awkwardly.
"Haha, don't worry. You've made such a great contribution to us. If anyone dares to cause you any trouble, then we, the Earth Fire, will definitely not let them get away with it."
Oleg laughed heartily, signaling everyone to relax and rest.
"Also... if you have time, little girl from the Silvermane Iron Guard, you can come and chat with me. I have something I want to say to you."
Oleg glanced at Bronya again, then left first.
"Then I'll go find Oleg. You guys go and rest first, I'll be back in a bit."
Bronya, upon hearing Oleg's words, decided not to return with the others.
"I'll go with you, otherwise I'm afraid the leader will be unable to resist saying bad things about the Great Guardian again."
Seele offered her suggestion.
"Yes, thank you, Seele."
Bronya nodded, then followed Seele.
"Shall we go back and rest?" Qiong asked impatiently.
"You seem eager to rest."
Seeing Qiong's appearance, Dan Heng couldn't help but ask.
"I think they've gotten addicted to pillow fights."
Stephen Chow smiled, but there were no velvet pillows for fighting in this lower area.
"Hey, you found out. I wonder if the pillows in the lower section are soft."
March 7th chuckled and stuck out his tongue.
Dan Heng sighed and chose not to participate in the topic.
When the group arrived at the hotel, the receptionist warmly arranged rooms for them as soon as they heard that Oleg had recommended them.
Stephen Chow skillfully approached the desk, transforming into a fair and impartial critic, and filled in three "average" marks on the satisfaction survey form on the desk.
"Huh? What's his name again? Haisen something?"
Stephen Chow scratched his head, unable to recall anything for the moment.
"never mind."
If he couldn't remember, he was too lazy to think about it, so Stephen Chow just filled it in casually.
Name: Elhesen.
I had just finished filling out the form when there was a knock on the door.
When Zhou Xingxing opened it, it was Qiong.
"I'm coming."
Qiong said with a mysterious expression.
"come on in."
Stephen Chow looked around and saw that no one else was following him.
The two quickly entered the room and began their secret activity, which they could not let outsiders know about.
"I've been holding back for so long, I can't take it anymore if I don't get a couple more rounds!"
Qiong said with an impatient expression.
