Give Star Iron a little MC shock

"Hmph! You guys don't know this! The things our Xing He makes are all incredibly magical! Even a small wooden boat he casually crafted could trap Xi'er, who is a fiery creature, and render her unable to move! You can verify this with Xi'er to see if it's true!"

"What?! A mere wooden boat can trap Miss Seele?"

Since March 7th had already said so, the miners naturally stopped doubting it. After all, March 7th had no need to talk about such things; Seele was right outside, and they could find out by asking.

On March 7th, he turned to Xing He and asked, "Xing He~ Can I take out a piece of iron ingot to show everyone?"

Xing He, who was walking ahead and engrossed in mining, waved his hand without turning around: "Take it if you want."

"Mmmmm~"

On March 7th, he walked to a furnace, took out an iron ingot from it, and shone his phone's light on the ingot.

The bright white iron ingots reflected a dazzling light in the passageway.

When the miners saw the iron ingot in March 7's hand, which was even whiter than her palm, they couldn't help but swallow hard.

One of the miners shakily reached out to touch it, but quickly withdrew his hand before he could touch it, and asked March 7 somewhat timidly, "Miss, may we touch this iron ingot?"

"of course."

On March 7th, the miner handed over the iron ingot. He hurriedly took it with both hands, as if he had received a priceless treasure, and carefully held it, turning it around to show it to the people behind him.

March 7th, not forgetting to proudly introduce behind them, said, "Although I don't quite understand how Xing He did it, these are iron ingots smelted from one cubic meter of iron ore! Top quality!"

They knew this without March 7th even mentioning it. Those present were all veteran miners who not only mined minerals but also refined them to exchange for supplies with the upper-level areas.

"This one iron ingot is probably worth a lot of the iron ingots we forge ourselves, isn't it?"

"Hmm! After seeing this iron ingot, and then looking back at the iron ingots we've smelted, ugh! What garbage!"

After seeing the iron ingot, one of the miners immediately turned his attention to the several furnaces placed beside the passageway, then swallowed hard and looked towards March 7th.

"Miss, do you sell this furnace?"

"Sell?"

March 7th was taken aback; she really didn't know that.

Xing He was always generous; he would give her and Dan Heng any of these amazing props they wanted.

I imagine Xing He wouldn't mind if I sent a few furnaces out.

But she will!

Xing He is generous, but March 7th doesn't want to see him suffer a loss.

Even if Xing He can make these things easily, it's only because he's the producer. Whether others can make them is another matter entirely! We absolutely cannot let Xing He suffer a loss.

However, resources are scarce in the lower districts, and those who want to come here don't have much money. It's unlikely that they can buy furnaces with money, so they can only choose to barter.

March 7th rested her chin on her hand and carefully recalled that Xing He seemed to have been muttering about emeralds and diamonds. He must really like these two gemstones, right?

In this mineral-rich lower layer, there might be far more diamonds and emeralds than the miners possess.

After all, on a planet on the brink of destruction due to the influence of the star's core, such a gemstone, whose ornamental value far outweighs its practical value, should not be too expensive.

"Well, although I don't know if Xing He is willing to sell, if you really want it, you can give me the emerald or diamond first, and I'll go ask him?"

As soon as the words "March 7th" were uttered, a miner eagerly pulled an emerald from his pocket and handed it over.

"Here you go! I found this by chance while mining. I was planning to take it home to my daughter!"

"Okay, I'll go ask."

March 7th took the emerald, walked behind Xing He, patted him on the shoulder, and handed over the small hand holding the emerald.

"Here."

Xing He looked down and saw a delicate white hand holding an emerald reaching out from his side.

Xing He turned around with some surprise to look at the grinning March 7: "Where did you get this?"

March 7th pointed to the miners behind him: "They want to trade an emerald for a furnace with you. Are you willing?"

At the same time, March 7th lowered his voice and whispered to Xing He, "If you think the price is too low, you can refuse. I'll go and talk to them for you."

Taking care of younger generations is the responsibility of seniors! Let her be the bad guy!

"Refuse?! Only a fool would refuse!"

Xing He suddenly became excited, put away his pickaxe, grabbed March 7's shoulders with both hands, and asked excitedly, "Which villager is buying the furnace?!"

As expected of another world, the villagers here can even exchange furnaces for emeralds! And at a 1:1 ratio!

On March 7th, somewhat confused, he turned and pointed at a miner.

"Look, it's him. What's wrong? Why are you suddenly so agitated?"

Xing He clenched his fists excitedly.

"I only regret that I don't have a nameplate right now, otherwise I would make an anvil on the spot, rename the nameplate, and then rename that villager!"

"Eight round stones for one emerald—I would call him the god of emeralds in ancient Greece!"

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Group Photo and Sambo

Hearing Xing He's words, the corner of March 7's mouth twitched slightly.

In this universe, she had never heard of any god whose destiny was associated with emeralds; that was far too narrow-minded.

Even if it exists, it's probably already been swallowed up.

"Although I don't understand what you're saying about the Emerald God, I'll take that as your agreement?"

"Ok!"

Xing He nodded heavily. How could he possibly refuse such a request—to exchange a round stone for an emerald?

Xing He immediately set up a workbench and made twenty furnaces inside, which he then handed over to March 7.

"Then you can dig slowly, I'm going back now."

On March 7th, he took over the furnace and returned to the group of eager miners.

"Miss, what did our benefactor say?"

On March 7th, she smiled and handed a furnace to the miner who had given her the emerald earlier, and kindly told him how to use it.

"You can just hold this in your hand and slap it on the ground, but it might be a bit troublesome to dismantle it later, so you'd better think about where to put it first."

"thanks, thanks!"

The miner excitedly accepted the furnace and carefully kept it close to his body.

Seeing what March 7th had done, the other miners immediately understood that Xing He was willing to sell the furnace!

Many people are starting to wonder if they have emeralds and diamonds in their homes!

A very small number of miners happened to have these gems on them, and they all stepped forward eagerly to hand over the emeralds and diamonds they had.

"This is mine! Dear lady, please sell me a furnace!"

"Is diamonds enough?"

On March 7th, he first collected the emeralds, then handed the furnace to the miners who had handed over the emeralds. After taking the diamonds and thinking for a while, he replied, "I'll go ask again."

On March 7th, Xing He returned with a diamond and asked, "Xing He, Xing He, do you want the diamond?"

Xing He turned around in astonishment to look at the diamond in March 7's hand, not expecting that he himself hadn't even dug one yet.

On March 7th, I got him a diamond!

He's practically his lucky star!

If it weren't for the fact that she looked so cute that he couldn't bring himself to kiss her, Xing He would have loved to give her a big kiss!

"Yes! How could I not want it!"

March 7th chuckled and said, "I knew you liked this kind of thing, but then again, how come you like these gemstones even more than us girls?"

Xing He took the diamond from March 7th and replied cheerfully, "No one would dislike this kind of gemstone."

Xing He played with the hard-won diamond in his hand for a moment, then handed it to March 7.

Looking at the diamond Xing He handed over, March 7th seemed puzzled: "What's wrong? Is there a flaw in this diamond that you don't like?"

Xing He shook his head and said with a smile, "It's for you."

"what?"

On March 7th, she held the diamond that Xing He had forcefully shoved into her hands, looking somewhat bewildered and unsure of what to do.

"Don't you really like this kind of gemstone? Why are you giving it to me?"

"I may like it, but it's not as good as you."

March 7th's face flushed red instantly, and he mechanically turned his neck, muttering softly.

"Who plays a straight shot like that? It's a foul."

[Unlock achievement: You get diamonds!]

[Achievement Points Earned: 1]

really!

I knew I had achieved this!

Xing He was very happy to receive two achievement points at once.

He had previously checked that chain mining required ten achievement points. If he could accumulate a few more achievement points, he wouldn't have to work so hard to mine in the future.

On March 7th, holding the diamond, he returned to the group of miners in a daze, glancing down at the diamond in his hand every now and then and chuckling foolishly.

It wasn't until the miner in front of her called out anxiously that March 7th came to her senses.
