He is a pure-blooded dragon in the miniature garden.

Chapter 32 Seele, do you want to protect everyone?

In particular, Su Nian's smiling expression was exactly the same as that of the unscrupulous businessman Sang Bo before he did his bad deeds.

At first glance, he doesn't look like a good person.

And they're definitely plotting something bad.

"Hey, Seele, you're wronging me. What bad thoughts could I possibly have about the Lower District?"

With a helpless smile on her face, Su Nian raised her hands to show her innocence.

Upon hearing this, Seele snorted coldly and picked up her scythe.

"That's what that unscrupulous businessman Sambo said before he started ripping people off."

"Look at me from head to toe, how do I resemble that shrewd businessman Sambo?"

Hearing Seele's words, Su Nian became unhappy. He admitted that he had a little bit of a crush on Yalilo, but that didn't mean he was a shrewd businessman!

The gift he gave Seele was at cost price.

Xier looked Su Nian up and down. Su Nian was dressed in a respectable manner, but her temperament was just like that old fox Sangbo. Even her way of defending herself was exactly the same.

Seele snorted coldly.

"What about you doesn't resemble that guy?"

On the dimly lit street, Su Nian and Xi'er chatted casually. Although Xi'er said she didn't believe Su Nian, her actions betrayed her as she led Su Nian around the entire town of Pan Yan.

As she walked, Seele gradually lost her ability to speak. When she got close to the mining area, she saw a group of miners walking out of the large mining area looking listless.

This is the largest mining area in the lower district, with the largest reserves of earth marrow. Most of the residents in the lower district rely on the mine, working hard every day to extract earth marrow ore in exchange for enough resources to survive.

And based on Seele's past experience, it seems that it's not their off-get off work time yet, right?
Although the lower level is dark and sunless, normal routines and clocks still exist.

It's only almost noon, why has everyone left the large mining area? Shouldn't they be eating there right now?
Seele walked directly in front of Su Nian and questioned Fessman, the head of the large mining area, and Joshua, a member of the Earthfire who had come with her.

"Joshua, what's going on? Why is everyone leaving get off work so early today? Aren't we going down into the mine?"

Because geometrid bone is the basic resource upon which Beloberg relies for survival, its price is destined to be low, and naturally, the miners' income is not high either; only a full day's work can barely sustain them.

Obviously, it's unusual for everyone to leave work so early; there's no such thing as a holiday in the mining area.

When Seele asked him the question, Joshua instinctively stood up straight and stammered.

"Big Sister Seele!!"

Joshua was clearly speechless after being struck by the slight aura that Seele had revealed.

However, Seele clearly didn't have the patience to wait for Joshua to calm down, and instead became even more agitated.

"Joshua, stop stuttering and speak quickly!!"

"Yes!!"

Joshua was startled and said nervously and hurriedly.

"The mines in the large mining area have all been mined out. The last vein we found collapsed yesterday because of the commotion caused by the battle between the boss and those rift creatures."

"Even if we dig it up again, it's hard to prevent the emergence of more Rift creatures. It's already been abandoned."

“Uncle Fessman searched the mining area all day today but didn’t find any new veins… so everyone has to leave early.” The somewhat hunched-over man wearing a hat nodded silently, acknowledging Joshua’s words.

He was the head of the large mining area and the most experienced miner in the entire lower zone, best at finding the earth marrow veins, but the news of the earth marrow's depletion also filled him with despair.

The entire lower zone survives on these earth marrows.

Without the Earth Core, how will the lower districts exchange resources with the upper districts? How will the residents of the lower districts survive?

Upon hearing this, Seele fell silent, unable to speak, while the miners beside her returned home with long faces.

As the pillars of their families, even when the mines were depleted, they would find ways to support their families to survive in the lower-level areas.

They had to go home and discuss their options with their families.

"Big Sister Xi... I'm going back to report to the boss about the situation in the large mining area."

While Seele remained silent, Joshua spoke cautiously, afraid of provoking her and getting a beating, even though he knew Seele wasn't that kind of person.

However, the way she beat up the wanderers and the image of her fighting the creatures from the rifts were so deeply etched in his mind that he couldn't help but feel a little afraid of Seele.

Seele waved her hand helplessly.

"Go."

Fessman also left amidst Joshua and Seele's conversation; as the head of the mining area, he too had to find a way out.

Only Seele, who had received the bad news, was left there sighing helplessly.

Su Nian, however, acted as if nothing had happened, squatting down next to a box containing square-shaped ore, and pried off a small piece of crystal from the square earth marrow ore and played with it in her hand.

"An energy source with extremely high calorific value; this small piece contains more energy than equivalent nuclear energy, and it seems to also contain some power to protect one's destiny..."

"I just don't know if it's possible to manufacture it artificially?"

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Xi'er patted Su Nian on the shoulder as he was studying the Earth Marrow, and Su Nian smiled in response.

"It's nothing, we're just researching the Earth Essence Ore. All I can say is that this stuff has some good potential."

Su Nian shrugged, stood up, clapped her hands, and said.

Is this truly an interstellar world? If this energy were to appear on Earth, it would be enough to trigger an energy revolution.

The premise is that Earth can develop devices that utilize Earth's core, such as solar furnaces.

Perhaps we can use this to seize sovereignty?
"But Seele, do you really want the residents of the Lower District to be confined to the Lower District and content to be miners?"

Su Nian suddenly turned his head and looked at Xi'er with a half-smile. At this moment, he was just like the devil written in mythology who tempts people to fall, using words to lure Xi'er into an endless abyss.

"I...of course I don't want to!! But what can we do? What choices do we have?"

Seele said somewhat despondently, "Does she not want the lower district to be as prosperous and bright as the upper district?"

But are there any options in the lower section?

The residents of the lower-class area are called miners to put it nicely, but to put it bluntly, they are mining slaves kept in the lower-class area by the upper-class area.
