"I've been in this world for two months now!"

Looking at the information on the attribute panel, Qin Changsheng showed a hint of helplessness.

Qin Changsheng is not from this world; he was originally a worker on Earth.

During one of my all-night work sessions, I closed my eyes and came into this world.

To this day, he still doesn't know what kind of world this is or what the name of this country is. He only knows that the nearby county is called Beihai County.

For the past two months, although I have been studying the system, I still haven't figured out how it works.

Aside from status, wives and concubines, and lifespan, the points on the panel simply cannot be increased.

The online store left Qin Changsheng speechless; it was completely blank and contained nothing.

Qin Changsheng had already noticed a pattern in this increase in numbers.

Before he became a miner, his points increased by one every ten days.

Once you have miner status, you earn points every five days.

However, Qin Changsheng was not too worried about these things.

What worried Qin Changsheng the most was the blood-red mark on his chest.

This bloody mark is the reason for the death of the previous body two months ago.

In Qin Changsheng's memory, there was no information about the blood-red mark.

If it weren't for the pain caused by the blood-red mark on every full moon night, Qin Changsheng would have forgotten about it.

"Chang Sheng, breakfast is ready!" At this moment, the door opened, and a pretty girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in plain clothes, came out.

"I'll be right there!" Qin Changsheng said.

This woman was Chen Yinyin, who had fled to the Black Cloud Mine with Qin Changsheng and was also Qin Changsheng's nominal wife.

Logically speaking, an ordinary family could not afford to marry such a beautiful wife, but Qin Changsheng had helped Chen Yinyin and her father on their escape.

More than 20 days ago, Chen Yinyin's father was seriously injured when he was hit by a rock while mining.

He passed away not long after returning, entrusting Chen Yinyin to Qin Changsheng.

Breakfast was not plentiful; it consisted of only two cornbread cakes and two bowls of porridge that was almost like soup.

"Hurry up and eat, why are you staring at me like that?" Chen Yinyin blushed.

"How much grain do we have left?" Qin Changsheng asked, looking at the porridge on the table.

"I can hold on for two more days!" Chen Yinyin lowered her head, not daring to look at Qin Changsheng.

"Why is there so little?" Qin Changsheng asked, puzzled.

"Wu Yong said his father was killed by a stone and there was no compensation!" Chen Yinyin added, "Yesterday the government came again to urge us to finish this year's autumn harvest!"

Upon hearing Chen Yinyin's words, Qin Changsheng's expression turned extremely ugly.

Wu Yong was a foreman at the Black Cloud Mine, and he often deducted the miners' wages.

Since Chen Yinyin's father died, he has frequently harassed her and tried various ways to deduct Qin Changsheng's salary.

The autumn harvest had nothing to do with these miners.

However, the government found ways to attribute some wasteland to them, making each of them pay a tax of one hundred coins per year.

If they still can't pay, they'll be exiled to Lingnan.

"Yinyin, let me think of a way!" Qin Changsheng stood up after finishing his breakfast.

Upon arriving at the forest farm, they saw a middle-aged man in a long robe sitting in front of a stove, with dozens of other people standing around him, including Wu Yong.

There was a thick iron pot on the stove, and inside the pot was a fragrant pot of pickled vegetables and tofu.

The man in the long gown is Chen Hu, the manager here.

Chen Hu first picked up a few pieces of hot tofu and ate some pickled vegetables before standing up and saying, "You are all miners from the Black Cloud Mine. It is Princess Peacock's mercy that allows you to work here and prevents you from starving to death!"

"Every day when you go to work, you should be grateful to Princess Peacock!"

Qin Changsheng rolled his eyes as he listened to Chen Hu's lecture.

He discovered that Chen Hu not only exploited the miners, but also flattered the leaders, which explained why he was able to become a manager.

"Princess Peacock's people are coming soon, so you all better be on your guard!"

"If anyone says anything they shouldn't, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Chen Hu gave them a scare before letting them take the tools and head towards the mine.

Qin Changsheng's mind started racing. Analyzing Chen Hu's words, he figured their Black Cloud Mine shouldn't be too far from the capital.

Otherwise, Princess Peacock's people wouldn't have come here.

It is estimated that this black cloud mine is Princess Peacock's property.

As soon as they entered the mine, a middle-aged man appeared beside Qin Changsheng.

The middle-aged man was called Uncle Hu, and he had also fled with Qin Changsheng.

On the way to escape, Chen Yinyin's father gave Uncle Hu half a cake.

"Sheng-ge'er, is your family running low on food?" Uncle Hu asked in a low voice.

"Uncle Hu, are you going to lend me some grain?" Qin Changsheng asked.

"Uncle Hu doesn't have much food either," Uncle Hu shook his head repeatedly and said, "But Uncle Hu can show you a way out!"

"Uncle Hu, what connections do you have?" Qin Changsheng asked curiously.

"Supervisor Wu really likes Yin Yin. If you give Yin Yin to him, Supervisor Wu will definitely give you a lot of money!" Uncle Hu said with a smile.

Qin Changsheng was utterly speechless.

On their escape route, these people helped each other.

In Qin Changsheng's heart, Uncle Hu was also a trustworthy person.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Hu, whom he trusted the most, actually became Wu Yong's advocate and even persuaded Qin Changsheng to hand over Chen Yinyin.

Seeing that Qin Changsheng remained silent, Uncle Hu continued, "Yinyin will only starve to death if she stays with you. It's better to give her to Supervisor Wu!"

"Uncle Hu, let me think about it!" Qin Changsheng said this, but in his heart he had already refused.

He said that simply to buy himself some time.

Otherwise, he and Chen Yinyin would not have an easy time if they were constantly targeted by Supervisor Wu.

At the same time, Qin Changsheng cursed Uncle Hu's ancestors for eight generations in his heart.

"This is something we really need to think about!" With that, Uncle Hu walked towards the mine with a smile.

Qin Changsheng followed behind Uncle Hu.

Inside the mine, numerous miners, shirtless, wielded pickaxes and dug for ore.

Because Qin Changsheng lacked strength, he could only dig about 20 kilograms of ore each day.

These miners come to the mine to dig for ore, and they all exchange ore for food.

Ten pounds of ore can be exchanged for one pound of grain.

However, Supervisor Wu would also withhold some grain, so that at most, they would only receive about six taels of grain.

Although mining is hard work, he has gradually gotten used to it over the past month.

Several hours later, Qin Changsheng walked out carrying more than 30 kilograms of ore.

"Qin Changsheng, three jin of grain!" Wu Yong handed a three-jin bag of grain to Qin Changsheng.

Qin Changsheng was somewhat surprised when he saw the grain that Wu Yong handed over.

"Sheng-ge'er, send Yin-yin over as soon as possible, and I won't treat you badly!" Supervisor Wu said with a smile.

Qin Changsheng instantly understood that Uncle Hu had already told Supervisor Wu what had just happened.

Qin Changsheng didn't reply, and carried the grain towards home.

"Chang Sheng, why are you back so late?" Chen Yinyin closed the door.

"Manager Chen has given a speech!" Qin Changsheng took out a cloth bag from his body: "There's some grain here!"

Chen Yinyin took the bag from Qin Changsheng, but at first she didn't pay much attention to it.

However, upon taking the bag, she noticed that there seemed to be quite a lot of food inside.
