How to become a mermaid

Chapter 48

"Boom..."

Numerous gravels rolled down the hillside.

Most of the stones are dark brown and vary in size.

There are only a small number of translucent stones mixed in it, these translucent stones are no more than the size of a fingernail, and mixed in these dark brown stones are inconspicuous.

Every small translucent stone is covered with a layer of taupe skin, and a piece of stone powder will fall off after a little scratching, revealing the crystal clear stones inside.

This is the original stone of hard spar.

On the top of the mountain, dozens of huge animals are pawing the mountain vigorously with their claws. Every time they plan, they roll down a large piece of stone.

Each of these animals is at least ten meters tall, covered with a khaki-yellow hard carapace, with stubby limbs and sharp claws, looking like giant lizards.

They are thick-armored lizards, and they have no other abilities except for their rough skin and thick flesh, as well as their size and strength. Many wealthy businessmen will use them to do coolies.

About two to three thousand meters away from the foot of the mountain, there was a dense crowd of people, at least four to five hundred people.

They looked eagerly at the rocks that had been planed down the mountain by the thick-armored lizard, as if they were some kind of supreme treasure.

Dozens of soldiers in black full-coverage armour, armed with weapons, stood motionless in front of the swaying crowd, preventing them from approaching the mountain.

"Boom... Boom..."

The big lizards on the mountain were still digging up the mountain.

Countless rubble rolled down, and things at the foot of the mountain piled up more and more.

Only when small hills were piled up did the big lizards on the mountain stop for a short rest.

Seeing this situation, these black-armored soldiers put away their weapons, and shouted to the people behind them solemnly:
"Go grab the stone!"

Hearing the order to let go, the people waiting at the foot of the mountain turned red-eyed and ran desperately towards the rubble pile.

"Come on!!"

"Today we must get the top spar!"

Hundreds of people ran with all their strength, stirring up dust all over the sky.

Everyone is afraid to be slower than others, because what awaits them ahead will be wealth.

This is the mine of Jingshi Island, and these people are laborers hired by the island owner, most of them are from the islands near Jingshi Island.

In order to mobilize the enthusiasm of these workers, the island owner adopted a reward mechanism.

With [-] hard crystals as a step, for every [-] more hard crystals collected, the settlement wage will increase by one step.

More importantly, these hard crystals are graded, the harder the stone, the higher the value, and the laborers who obtain high-grade stones will receive additional rewards, up to one gold coin!

"Clatter, clatter..." The laborers had already reached the foot of the mountain, and began to search for traces of hard spar in the pile of stones with their hands.

The sound of stones colliding with each other kept ringing, occasionally mixed with a few cries of joy for getting hard spar.

"Boom..." Suddenly a huge rolling stone landed on the mountain, and it happened to hit a certain unlucky guy who was turning over the stone.

He had just found a hard spar, and before he had time to rejoice, his head was opened, and he fell to the ground in an instant, his body twitching and twitching, blood dripping all over the ground, and even the brainsickness could be vaguely seen.

Seeing someone fall, the actions of the others paused for a moment, but they quickly resumed their work of finding stones.

Death is a common occurrence in mines, and there is nothing to make a fuss about.

"Tsk, what a hassle!" The guarding black-armored soldier made an impatient voice, and walked over to dispose of the corpse.

Although the person is not completely dead, he is already a dead person in the eyes of these guards.

Their heads were opened, and they would not waste precious recovery potions on these laborers unless high-quality potions could be used to save them.

After the black-armored soldier carried away the unlucky guy who was smashed, other people immediately filled the vacancy just now, and continued to search for stones at the previous position.

Although this position is dangerous, the bottom is full of rocks. Others don't want to waste such a good resource. The big rocks rolling down the mountain are just accidental incidents. They even think that the unlucky guy is too stupid to be smashed.

"Teng Teng Teng Teng Teng Teng Teng..."

While these laborers were working hard, there was a sound from the sky.

The black-armored soldiers guarding the mine looked up and saw a huge ship flying towards this side.

The raised sails were engraved with a conspicuous smiley gold coin symbol, allowing them to recognize the origin of the ship at once.

"It's the Moni!"

"Money is here again!"

Moni is an old customer of Spar Island, or he is one of the partners of the island owner.

In addition to his own use, he also transports some hard spar and hard spar products for sale from time to time.

If the hard spar on the boat hadn't been sold out, Moni wouldn't have made a special trip to the spar island, and he would have been able to make a big fish tank for Samantel himself.

The innermost part of the spar island is the mine. There are two mines in total, both of which are busy mining now.

Not far from the mine are several large-scale hard spar processing plants. Countless hard spar stones are sent here for secondary processing and molded into various shapes of utensils, which can be sold more expensively.

The Auer Stars defined gemstones as "energy-rich" stones, while hard spar was just hard. Although it was crystal clear and somewhat beautiful, it didn't have much energy in it, so it didn't qualify as a gemstone.

Most people buy hard spar just because of its strong characteristics and want to use it to make items, but a single hard spar is too small to do much, so the island owner directly opened it on the island. We have established some processing plants to provide customers with customized processing services.

From the provision of raw materials to the one-stop service of processing, there is no middleman to make the difference.

The outermost layer of the island is of course the pier, where hundreds of ships have been moored.

Most of these boats are laborers' fishing boats.

There is a small island only a hundred nautical miles away from Jingshi Island, and the residents of the island often come here by boat to work.

Unlike Setra Island, the marine resources in this area are not rich.

Fishing does not allow the nearby residents to live a good life. It can only fill their stomachs, and sometimes they can’t even eat enough. Only by working in the mines can they make a little money.

"Teng Teng Teng..." The voice in the sky became clearer.

The Moni got closer and closer, and the height of the ship dropped.

In addition to the black armored soldiers, other people on the island also noticed the arrival of the Moni.

A slender man with a tall hat on his head, who looked like a manager, came out of the processing plant and directed the people on the dock to work.

"Move those stinky coolie ships to make room for our distinguished guests!"

Hearing this order, the dozen or so sailors in charge of managing the pier began to work, and the pier suddenly became busy.

These sailors are usually responsible for patrolling the docks to prevent murlocs or other creatures in the sea from wreaking havoc, and occasionally they also work part-time for such berthing jobs.

They quickly jumped into the small boats and moved the small boats moored at the pier to make way for Moni.

No one thought there was anything wrong with such behavior, and even the laborers were used to looking for their boats everywhere when they were off duty.

As long as the ship is still there, no one will complain. After all, they are hard laborers, not as good as the guests who visit here.

"Teng Teng Teng..."

Mooney's boat landed about three nautical miles away from Spar Island, and glided all the way to Spar Island.

"Woo~~"

A long siren sounded from the ship.
