Is it really normal to contain these anomalies?

The miner took the money with an attentive smile on his face, and without caring whether the people around him were jealous or not, he licked his fingers and started counting in front of them.

This money is enough for him to work underground for 6 months without food or water.

But it seemed that the old man in front of him didn't care at all... as if money was not money in their company.

"Well, sir, if you need me, I can also go into the mine and lead the way. I've lived here for decades and I'm quite familiar with this place..."

"You can lead the way, but don't call me Master. It's offensive."

Bai Yu interrupted her calmly. He was thinking, but at the same time he turned his head to look at the street beside him which was full of purple and dust.

In his pupils, which still had a hint of blood red, he saw that in a store, his younger generation was squatting on the ground, chatting with a little girl covered in dust.

There seemed to be a slight smile on the corner of her mouth.

Ok……

At least for the first time, the kid didn't follow him around while he was on a mission.

"Ouch! Min! What are you doing..."

The miner followed Bai Yu's gaze and saw the little girl playing with Komini. His emotions even got a little out of control.

But his employer's hand stopped him.

"Don't disturb them."

Bai Yu said softly, not wanting to put his junior into the difficult choice again.

After all, it only takes a few hours to investigate, it's safe, and we don't need their help.

What's more, this was originally her and Aika's vacation, so it would be fine if it continued like this.

"...Okay, you're the boss, I'll listen to you."

Faced with such forced pressure, the miners could only swallow the words of scolding in their hearts.

"But please forgive me. We are an examination-oriented village... If girls don't study, what future can they have in the city?"

"We still have to get into World Wings! Then we can be happy."

"..."

"Oh, I've been talking too much nonsense! Oh, Master, I didn't ask you before, since you don't let me call you Master, what should I call you?"

"..."

"Just call me Bai Yu."

……

"Alright! Master Bai Yu!"

The miner father took Bai Yu to the nearest mine amid the envious and jealous gazes of everyone around him.

The moment they stepped into the descending open-air elevator, a W Company employee who was on guard nearby released a buzzing green drone.

"It's noisy, isn't it? It's like this when we go down into the mines."

The drone flew over, and the miner took out a relatively clean pair of earplugs from his pocket and handed them to Bai Yu.

"The elevator will be even noisier when it descends, so you'd better wear earplugs."

"Need not."

Bai Yu politely declined him.

He just kept looking at the green drone whose camera kept focusing and filming the surroundings.

"Isn't it strange that you're photographed by this thing every day?"

"Hey, there's nothing strange about this. I'm used to it."

The miner smiled and expertly pulled a nearby lever.

"K Company? I think so. I heard that anyone they see in the photo can join their World Wing... If we can't get in, it's nice to have a record of our lives, hahaha."

The elevator began to shake and rumble.

They are descending.

The elevator had no lights, and darkness was gradually swallowing them both. The only light they could see was the hole above their heads and the K Company drone beside them that was emitting green light.

They were heading towards a terrifying abyss. The oppression in the mines was enough to suffocate many young miners, and now that it had turned into purple soil, it was even more so.

"Don't be afraid, Lao Y... um, Bai Yu, this elevator is very safe."

The miner whispered to comfort him, as if he really regarded Bai Yu as a senior company official who came to inspect.

But he seemed to be the only one in the darkness, and there was no sound at all in the direction where Bai Yu had originally stood.

...Just when he was wondering if Bai Yu had fainted from fright.

"boom!"

The sound of gunfire in a small space was harsher than anyone imagined.

"Oh my god! What the hell just happened?!!"

The miner shouted loudly, but saw the only flash of green light in the air fall straight down.

"Oh! My Lord Bai Yu! This is the property of World Wings!"

He finally realized that the sound in front of him was most likely the "gunshot" in urban legend that only firearms could make.

And his master just fired a shot and shot down the drone.

"Why are you doing this?!"

The miner was panicked. He held the drone fragments in his trembling hands. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation in his life.

If K Company retaliates, wouldn't their entire family, including the youngest and the youngest, be completely ruined?!

298

Chapter 298: K Company Branch buried in the corrupt land.

"It's okay. When they attacked, only my face was facing them. Even if they wanted to cause trouble, they shouldn't have come to you."

But Bai Yu put the gun back into the holster and finally looked at the darkness in front of him.

He didn't share the miners' anxieties. After all, for K Company's finance department, the cost of a damaged drone wouldn't even be enough to justify a watering.

There's no point in taking revenge...

Ok.

On the other hand, Bai Yu doesn't like people peeping at him.

Especially those World Wings executives who like to manipulate the fate of their employees...

"I hope it's as you said..."

The miners are at their wit's end.

What else could he do? Could he just beat up this financial sponsor in front of him?

Even though he has a gun, I still can't beat him.

"Okay, less complaining and more doing,"

Bai Yu said, "Now, tell me about this mine, especially if there have been any monsters recently, or any human-sized beads floating in the air emitting purple light."

"Huh? Master Bai Yu, how do you know we've encountered that kind of bead here?"

"Um?!"

In the darkness, Bai Yu's brows couldn't help but twitch.

"How did you handle it?"

"Exploded!"

The miner foreman's voice, somewhat proud, echoed in the darkness of the elevator.

"We can't move those beads at all, it's like there's an air barrier... But the material looks very valuable, so even if we break them into pieces we can get a lot of money."

"..."

More than ten seconds passed and Bai Yu did not respond. The atmosphere in the dark elevator became very awkward.

"Um? Master Bai Yu?"

The miner asked in a low voice, not knowing that his honest words had caused a storm in Bai Yu's heart.

"Don't talk, leave me alone."

Bai Yu's suppressed anger and helpless tone reached his ears.

You should know that the beads buried in the corrupted land are the summons of Terraria's BOSS - the World Devourer.

This isn't like the Shenron, which requires seven to summon... That ghost thing might also be unable to grant your wish, so three are enough.

And now, the precondition for summoning had been directly reduced by 1 before he even took over the task. So, if he were to encounter a group of people like this who were greedy for money and unaware of the dangers in the future... it wouldn't be impossible for him to suddenly wake up from his sleep, feel the ground shaking, and suddenly need to fight a boss?!

"Master Bai Yu?"

Another dozen seconds passed before the Terraria glow sticks taken out of the void bag illuminated all of their faces.

"So, what did you get?"

"You mean?"

"After blowing that thing up, are there any props or something like that? Equipment that you've never seen in the city, but looks really special at first glance?"

"Emm... does a blue bracelet count? I give it to my daughter Min..."

"That is not bad."

The sound of the elevator descending suddenly stopped.

Bai Yu walked into the darkness in front of him and made up his mind to go back and inform the Second Association not to let any miners or cleaners destroy these beads.

"By the way, do you know what that blue bracelet is? Is it dangerous?"

It turns out that this miner cares about his daughter?

But Bai Yu was too tired to complain and could only roll his eyes.

"Then you, the foreman, are taking the lead in touching the beads? Isn't that thing even weirder than your bracelet?!"

"Ha... Oh my God... I'm speechless."

"That's a star power bracelet. There's no danger."

In Terraria, each time a bead is destroyed, an item will drop. In addition to the first item which must be a musket, one of them is the Terraria accessory 'Star Power Bracelet'.

"Oh, that's good."

"I gave it to her as a birthday present."

The miner wiped his sweat and finally walked to the front, holding the second glow stick that Bai Yu had just handed him.

A strong smell of gas hit my nose.

This is also the reason why they did not use urban mining lamps.

"Hmm... Master Bai Yu, this used to be the first layer of coal and iron. Our work area was responsible for supplying these resources to K Company and W Company."

"Does their World Wing still need these basic resources from you?"

Bai Yu calmly retorted. After all, do the World Wings, which have contracts with Singularity and L Company, really lack these iron and coal?

"Who knows... But we don't care what the boss does with this stuff, or what his purpose is. Digging these things up is just our job."

But the miners don't care about this.

He just introduced the mining area that was integrated with the 'Land of Corruption' along the way. This was the place where he had lived for most of his life and would most likely need to work for most of his next life.

"What's the building in front?"

Bai Yu paused in the midst of his rambling.

My eyes were only focused on the metal building in front of me, which was illuminated by the fluorescent sticks...

It is themed in light green and white, and is clearly not an original building in the mining area.
