Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

Of course, she didn't give up on Fang Rui's kind offer of help; she needed his help for something else...

Bronya has organized a snowfield exploration team to explore into the distance, to check the situation near Beloborg, and to look for edible animals and plants in the snowfield.

“I think there should be some…” Fang Rui pondered for a moment and offered his guess, “The battlefield was probably on land. Even if the ocean was affected, it shouldn’t have been completely destroyed and was subsequently frozen…”

Thinking of this, Fang Rui tilted his head and pondered for a while, "It should still be within the tolerance range. We can break through the ice to see the situation."

"The ocean?" Seele tilted her head, her face full of doubt. Seele, who hadn't been studying seriously, expressed her confusion.

The other workers also looked puzzled. They, too, lacked knowledge about the ocean, as most people in Panyan Town did not have the means to learn.

The same situation applies to the upper layers.

Most people do not have knowledge of the ocean. Considering the continued existence of Belleberg, those who enroll have a biased learning direction. Those who can freely choose their learning direction are just some idle people.

There are nobles in the upper class; some of these people have rendered meritorious service, while others...

That would only cause more trouble.

They cause trouble in all sorts of ways; don't expect these people to study seriously.

"It's a place with lots of fish..." Fang Rui explained simply.

"I seem to have some recollection of it..."

Seele's tone was somewhat elusive. Natasha had taught everyone in the orphanage some knowledge, such as basic reading and writing, as well as some basic knowledge.

As for whether Natasha had mentioned anything about the ocean, Seele had forgotten.

The residents of Belleburg have not seen the ocean for many years.

"In short, let's talk to Natasha and Bronya first and see what they plan to do."

“You’re right.” Too lazy to think, Seele readily agreed, passing the problem on to others.

After saying that, Seele transformed into a butterfly and vanished. To be fair, the special effects Seele gave her moves were quite interesting; I wonder who she learned them from.

It should be Sambo...

After all, there are only a few of Belloberg's Pathfinders, and Sambo is the only one who plays it so fancy.

The most crucial point is that among the Pathfinders Seele frequently encounters, only Sambo is so flamboyant; the rest are either simple-minded or upright...

"Speaking of which, where's Sambo?"

Fang Rui looked around. As a shrewd businessman, Sang Bo should have gone wherever he could make money, but he didn't see Sang Bo at the demolition work in Maoding Town.

You know, Sambo carries explosives with him; he should be selling weapons here!

Or has it already been sold?

"You mean Sambo? He's with the ruins exploration team!" A worker nearby heard Fang Rui's mutterings and replied.

"Ancient ruins exploration?" Fang Rui asked rhetorically.

"Yes, it seems to be about exploring ruins and recovering lost technology, but I don't quite understand..."

The former ordinary miner, now an ordinary worker, shrugged slightly to indicate that he didn't know much about it.

"Is that so..." Fang Rui nodded slightly in understanding; exploring ruins was indeed more profitable.

"When Seele comes back, if he asks me where I am, tell me I'm with the Ruins Exploration Team."

After saying that, Fang Rui turned and left, while the ruins exploration team remained near the mining area.

Back when Yalilo hadn't severed ties with interstellar society, earth marrow ore was a local specialty sold to interstellar communities; in short, it came from Yalilo's underground...

There are mining areas, and within these mining areas are various buildings, some of which are experimental bases, some are storage warehouses, and some are ordinary buildings...

These mining areas may have been interconnected in the past, but after the war, the terrain was bound to change, and some mining areas inevitably collapsed.

However, thanks to the joint efforts of many miners, the large mining area was reconnected with another mining area.

The mission of this exploration team is to explore a long-abandoned mining area. Since there are Rift Monsters in the mining area, the people participating in the exploration are all relatively strong fighters.

One group consisted of Silvermane Iron Guards, while the other group comprised skilled technicians with martial arts abilities.

Therefore, it is quite normal to see Jepard in the exploration team.

"No, why didn't you lead the team to the snowfield to clear out the Rift monsters?"

Fang Rui found it strange. Wasn't the plan to build a greenhouse? Why didn't Jepard lead his army to the snowfield to clear out the Rift Monsters?

"The mission to clear out the monsters from the rift in the snowfield is being handled by Dunn."

Jepard said seriously, "Exploring ruins is also a very important task, and there are scholars among the team members on this mission who need to be protected."

I know you can provide a group shield, so there's no need to emphasize it.

Fang Rui squinted, offering no comment, and instead inquired about something else, "Has the exploration already begun?"

"The first exploration is over, and an area has been cleared."

Jepard reported his findings, "Nothing of value has been found yet, only some broken pieces of machinery."

"You sound like you're reporting to your boss," Fang Rui muttered, then looked away instead of continuing the conversation.

"I didn't see anyone else."

"The scholars have not yet arrived at the mining area, and it will take some time to prepare for the deployment of some detection equipment."

Jepard explained, "As for the soldiers, they've been moved to the rest area in the mine to rest after the mission was completed..."

"They will still need to contribute to the follow-up tasks, so sufficient rest is essential."

"And you? You won't participate in the follow-up missions?" Fang Rui asked back.

“Of course I’ll participate,” Jepard replied.

"Then why didn't you rest?" Fang Rui asked.

"I'm resting, and also keeping watch at the entrance to the ruins," Jepard said, still looking very serious.

"Alright!" He had no intention of continuing the argument and continued to ask about what he was curious about.

"Besides you, who else is there?"

“Hmm? Are you asking about someone you know?” Jepard asked.

"No, I wanted to ask about the other people in your exploration team." Fang Rui knew very few people in Belloborg; most were Fate Walkers, and a few were ordinary people.

“It’s not classified information, I can tell you.” Jepard began to read out names one by one, “Pera, Silva…”

As some familiar names came out of Jepard's mouth, Fang Rui raised an eyebrow slightly. The lineup was quite impressive!

It turns out that when Hilva came to the mechanical settlement, in addition to finding and talking to Swaro, joining the exploration team was also one of her tasks.

Natasha is also in the exploration team. Is it because they're considering the Rift Monsters in the abandoned mines?

Although Oleg is the second-in-command of the Earthfire and a member of the Silvermane Iron Guard, his current strength is not very good in a fight...

What is the purpose of adding it to the team?

Command?

Fang Rui's gaze fell on Jepard. The leadership could be left to Jepard and Natasha, which meant there were other things to do.

What would it be if Oleg were needed?

After tilting his head and thinking for a while, Fang Rui recalled Oleg's role in Rocky Town. As one of the leaders of the Earth Fire, he handled all sorts of matters; in other words, he knew a lot about the mining area...

Is it as a consultant?

Fang Rui nodded slightly, agreeing with his own guess.

Jepard, standing to the side, looked puzzled as he watched Fang Rui's expressions change rapidly, not quite understanding why Fang Rui could change his expression so quickly.

But he didn't want to ask any further questions; it wasn't that he wasn't curious, but rather that he was able to restrain himself.

Fang Rui didn't talk to him. Jepard stood like a statue at the entrance of the mine, more like he was on guard duty than resting.

While the two remained silent, some people arrived at the entrance to the abandoned mine, greeted Jepard, and others approached Fang Rui to talk, believing him to be a member of the exploration team.

Fang Rui didn't explain anything about this; he was indeed somewhat interested and wanted to see what was in the abandoned mining area.

Logically speaking, the Great Guardian wouldn't have chosen the location for building a city randomly. The Yalilos must have had the technology to detect earth marrow ore, so choosing an area with abundant mineral deposits to build a city would have been quite normal.

So here's a question: Belleberg has stood in the snowfield for so long, what kind of mining area will be the one that was dug out?

There should be more than one, after all, the land area of ​​Belleburg is limited, and it is a normal choice to place some facilities underground.

Therefore, Fang Rui was somewhat interested in the abandoned mining area and wanted to know what was inside. He did not use his predictive or detection skills; the exploration process was the most interesting part.

Adding Fang Rui's identity as a member of the exploration team wouldn't be a problem for Jepard; in fact, he would welcome it, given Fang Rui's formidable strength.

Since the exploration team members had not yet all arrived and the exploration activities had not yet begun, everyone was chatting idly.

The person talking to Fang Rui was Pera.

To be fair, the two have some overlapping interests. Pera likes reading, including novels, and Fang Rui also likes reading, with novels being one of his favorites.

Although their tastes in different genres of novels differ, there is still some overlap, allowing them to have some common ground in their conversations…

"I remember there's a website on the communicator where you can read novels. Have you checked it out?"

“No.” Pera slowly shook her head. “I’ve been very busy lately and haven’t had much free time.”

"Do you need me to recommend a few books?" Fang Rui asked.

“Okay!” Pera did not refuse.

"Let me think about what book I should recommend to you..." Fang Rui tilted his head, looking up at the rock wall above, seriously considering the matter.

Pera was also pondering what books to recommend to Fang Rui.

Chapter 630 The Mine Exploration Team Assembles

"They...were having a good time chatting!"

At the edge of the crowd, Silva and Jepard stood together, watching Fang Rui and Pera with the same surprised look.

Anyone who has met Fang Rui understands one thing: he's a good person, but he has some personality issues. His personality is easily changeable, and his interests shift very easily...

Therefore, she worried that Pera would be sad if Fang Rui lost interest in reading.

While Fang Rui and Pera were excitedly discussing the contents of the book they were reading, they were unaware of what Shiluwa was worried about. During their conversation, the members of the exploration team gradually arrived.
