Personality V: I will save everything

"Wow~~~⊙w⊙" Carl opened his eyes wide, opened his mouth wide, and couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

Although he had some general understanding of Uncle Norton's mine before coming, when he actually saw the mine with his own eyes, he found that his imagination was still too conservative.

Gold, diamonds, and crystals flowed out of the cavern like water. These precious ores were loaded onto mine carts and pushed out of the cave.

Especially those crystals, they are crystal clear and emit charming light, which makes people fall in love with them. Even Norton himself was completely dumbfounded when he saw these crystals.

He originally only knew that after the gold on the top layer was dug out, diamonds were dug out, but he never imagined that there were so many crystals hidden underneath!

"This...what is going on?" Norton muttered to himself, his heart full of confusion and shock.

"Nonsense, you're a person who lies in bed all day long, and Jose Badem can't even find a chance to talk to you." Carl on the side couldn't help but complain in his heart.

However, compared to complaining about Norton, Carl was more interested in those crystals. Children always like those shiny things.

Speaking of which, the discovery process of this crystal is really full of drama and coincidence!

Originally, these stones dug out from the ground were nothing more than useless waste rocks in people's eyes.

However, the local Indians had a different idea - they thought that although these stones could not be used as treasures directly, they might be of some use if they were carried home.

So the Indians worked tirelessly to carry the stones back home one by one.

They plan to use these stones to build houses and make daily necessities such as tables, chairs and benches. After all, for the people living on this land, making full use of the resources around them is a kind of survival wisdom.

However, just as the Indians were about to split and shape the stones, they were stunned by an astonishing discovery - it turned out that these seemingly ordinary stones actually contained crystal clear crystals! This was truly an unexpected surprise!

The only thing that made people feel a little bored was that the Indians knew nothing about carving crystal jewelry. You know, when they learned that these things were actually crystal and worth a lot of money, they were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths.

Before this, they only treated these crystals as some shiny decorations, placing them casually in the house without any processing on them.

Fortunately, however, José Badem's crew members happened to possess the necessary skills. Therefore, these kind-hearted crew members took the initiative to teach the Indians how to carve crystal. Although the Indians encountered many difficulties in the learning process, they worked very hard to try and understand.

Although their skills could not match those of professional carvers, they had tried their best. After a period of learning and practice, the Indians were finally able to carve the crystal into small pieces and string them into necklaces.

Kevin could then happily pick up the crystal necklaces and carefully put them into a special bag.

Kevin thought to himself that these crystal necklaces could definitely be exchanged for a lot of money from the Spaniards.

However, he had no intention of pocketing the money or making extra money. His goal was simple: to use the money to buy some cattle and sheep.

The Indians live a life closely connected with nature, and they migrate constantly like nomads.

Whenever they arrived at a new place, they would quickly set up tents and then start collecting fruits from the surrounding area and hunting wild animals for food.

Once the resources in a place are exhausted, they will pack up their bags without hesitation and head to the next destination to repeat the process.

However, since the Spanish arrived in this land, the lives of the Indians have changed dramatically.

The Spanish hunting caused the Indians to lose many of their original habitats, and they became more homeless.

Fortunately, with Norton's help, the Indians finally have their own land and a place where they can live and work in peace and contentment.

Now that they have a stable residence, they naturally need some livestock to raise, which not only provides food but also adds some fun to their lives.

Some people may wonder, since Norton has already paid Kevin a salary, why doesn't he use the money directly to buy the things he needs?

Instead, why not choose to exchange them with those crystal necklaces?

Well, the reasons behind this are a bit complicated.

You know, Kevin was once wanted by the government!

Although Norton spent some money to help him cancel the wanted order, it does not mean that he can completely get rid of the shadow of the past. In fact, the Spaniards' rejection of Kevin has not changed.

So, when Kevin tried to buy things with cash, the Spaniards were unwilling to accept his money. After all, who would want to have too much financial dealings with a wanted man and get themselves into trouble?

However, crystal necklaces are different.

With the gold rush gaining popularity, the value of this precious mineral mined from the ground is quite high.

Moreover, in a sense, it is more convenient than cash because for those Spaniards, crystal necklaces not only represent wealth, but also symbolize a scarce resource.

So when Kevin took out the crystal necklace, the Spaniards were immediately attracted.

They thought that exchanging this necklace for something was a perfect deal!

Thus, the deal was concluded smoothly.

Kevin successfully brought back herds of cattle and sheep, while Jose Baden and Norton also disposed of the garbage they didn't want.

Ah, that's right, the garbage refers to the mined crystals. Although crystals are very valuable when made into handicrafts, they are not as valuable as gold and diamonds.

High-quality crystal-clear crystals will still be shipped back and made into handicrafts such as crystal glasses and crystal pendants for sale.

Moreover, the crystals Kevin exchanged were of poor quality and contained a lot of impurities. They were originally intended to be disposed of as garbage, so Kevin could use them if he wanted.
