Is this cheat code from Bika? Just do it!

The warm touch caught Jin Meiting off guard, her body stiffened, and a groan escaped her throat.

"Waaah!"

But then she relaxed, put her arm around his shoulder, and began to respond.

Link recklessly savored the taste of her small mouth, the sweet saliva flowing between their lips and teeth, as if it were the most wonderful nectar in the world.

His hands became even more unrestrained, roaming freely over her naked body, feeling the delicacy and softness of every inch of her skin.

Jin Meiting's delicate body trembled slightly. She shyly opened her mouth, letting his hot tongue invade it, swirling up and down inside her mouth.

Her delicate tongue responded, trying to entwine with Link's, but it was quickly defeated, its sweet saliva stolen away by him, making her a complete captive of his passionate kiss.

After a long while, just as Jin Meiting's delicate body began to convulse and she was almost suffocating, Link finally released her lips and slowly moved away, leaving a bright thread in mid-air.

"Lord Link~"

Jin Meiting was slightly out of breath, her eyes glazed over, still lingering with the afterglow of the passion she had just experienced, as if she had not yet recovered from that dreamlike feeling.

She could feel Link's large hand touching her most delicate and sensitive spot again.

The touch made her body tremble slightly, feeling both shy and expectant.

"Come on, sit down and move yourself."

As he spoke, Link leaned against the headboard, half-lying down, ready to receive her services.

Jin Meiting's face flushed. She hesitated for a moment, and finally responded in a weak, almost inaudible voice, "Mmm."

She reached out and touched Link's massive member, her delicate fingers gently stroking it and straightening it.

Then, she braced her feet against the bed and, with a slight effort, slowly lifted her buttocks, which were sitting on Link's lap.

She slowly moved her whole body forward, and her other hand reached down, past her smooth, white private parts, to find her already wet vulva.

Take a deep breath, as if making a firm decision, align yourself with Link, and then slowly descend—

"Ugh—!"

Her willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed slightly. Even though Link had been pressing her down on the bed and thrusting into her just half an hour ago, her tender body still couldn't fully adapt to the penetration.

The slight stinging sensation made her a little uncomfortable, but she still tried her best to persevere, using her fingers to control Link's direction while allowing her body to continue falling downwards in the direction of that huge object.

As she exerted all her strength to let Link penetrate her completely, a slight tingling sensation came from the point of union, making her feel itchy all over.

The tingling sensation, like an electric current, instantly spread throughout her body, causing her to let out a soft cry.

Her toes curled involuntarily, trying to alleviate the strange sensation, but it was all in vain. Her body trembled slightly, as if she were fighting against this unusual feeling.

"Lord Link~ Ah!" Her voice carried a hint of coquettishness and satisfaction.

"Ah, that feels so good, Miba!"

Link let out a satisfied sigh, his hands freely grasping and kneading her soft, large breasts, teasing the budding nipples.

“Let’s begin.” His voice was deep and seductive, as if encouraging Kim Mi-jung to continue.

Jin Meiting lowered her head, closed her eyes, and endured the shame as her supple waist began to sway awkwardly back and forth.

Although her movements were not yet skilled, they were full of energy and passion.

"Uh, ah, ah!"

With each movement, an alluring moan would escape from her small mouth, echoing throughout the room.

Her soft moans were like the most beautiful melody in the room, expressing her feelings and emotions at that moment.

75. Coal

The first heavy snow of winter arrived as punctually as a messenger.

The fluttering snowflakes, like light and graceful elves, drifted slowly down from the gray sky, draping the whole world in a pure white cloak.

Inside the study, the firewood in the fireplace crackled and popped, the leaping flames releasing heat and trying to dispel the chill that seeped in through the cracks in the doors and windows.

Atop the fireplace hangs a deer head with enormous antlers.

In the flickering firelight, the deer's antlers cast a huge shadow on the wall behind it, the shadow resembling the massive claws of a ferocious beast, as if it might pounce down from the wall at any moment, adding a touch of mystery and slight unease to the warm room.

Opposite the fireplace was a long, dark red wooden table, its surface covered with countless parchment scrolls and books.

Most of these parchment scrolls contain records of new decrees awaiting Link's signature.

These decrees concern the lives of the people within the territory, as well as the development and future direction of the entire territory.

Normally, this place would have been Jin Meiting's personal office, but since Meiting had just lost her virginity last night, Lin Ke would be taking over her work today so that Meiting could rest and sleep in a little later.

He sat at the wooden table, sometimes lost in thought, sometimes writing furiously, his focused expression suggesting that the whole world consisted only of him and the documents that urgently needed processing.

After a long while, Link finally raised his head. Through the window behind the study, his gaze could pierce through the swirling snowflakes and see Winter City stretching out in front of him.

On the city streets, a few pedestrians occasionally hurried by, their figures appearing exceptionally small against the backdrop of snowflakes.

At the edge of the city, there are continuous mountain ranges, which is the mountain range where Thorn Ridge is located.

Like a sleeping dragon, it stretches across the heavens and the earth, completely separating the human kingdoms and the North from each other.

A thin layer of snow had already settled on the ground in the garden, as if it had been covered with a soft white blanket.

There is also a pavilion nearby, with flying eaves and brackets. Sometimes, when Link is tired, he will come here to have afternoon tea.

Sitting in the pavilion, brewing a pot of fragrant tea, watching the snow scene outside, I felt the tranquility and comfort.

If the weather is nice, he will go to the garden to bask in the sun, letting the warm sunlight fall on his body and dispel his fatigue.

In the past, owning a real stone castle would have been an absolute fantasy.

Just to go inside and take a look, you have to pay for a ticket, let alone own it.

Back then, he could only imagine the luxury and majesty of castles through television, movies, or books.

But now, he not only owns the castle, but also controls two towns.

Whenever he thinks back on it, Link feels that it all seems too unreal, as if he were in a dream.

Taking a deep breath, Link tightened his collar.

Although the fireplace in the study was burning brightly, Link still didn't feel much warmth.

The temperature in the study was still quite low; if you didn't wrap yourself tightly in your fur coat, you would feel very cold.

"Are winters this cold in this world?"

Link frowned as he looked at the swirling snowflakes outside.

His eyes revealed a hint of helplessness in the face of the cold weather.

The outside temperature is probably already below minus ten degrees Celsius.

There are very few people on the streets anymore. Apart from some necessary construction work still underway within the territory, most work has been forced to stop.

The workers, dressed in thick clothes, shivered in the cold wind, yet they remained steadfast in their posts, contributing their strength to the development of the territory.

The vast majority of civilians in the territory hid in their houses, huddled in their beds.

They wrapped themselves up tightly in all the clothes and blankets they could find in their homes, enduring the harsh winter while praying for spring to arrive soon.

Fortunately, before winter arrived, Link had already ordered the construction of wooden houses for all the civilians in the territory who did not have houses.

In this cold winter, being homeless means death.

Those wooden houses, though not luxurious, provided shelter from the wind and rain for ordinary people, preventing them from freezing to death on the streets.

Otherwise, given the current weather, there wouldn't even be any wooden houses to live in, and the only consequence for those civilians would be to freeze to death.

Even now that they have houses, the lives of the common people in the territory are not easy.

Although the wooden house can withstand wind and snow, the cold is still bone-chilling.

In this world, there weren't many ways to keep warm. Ordinary people didn't have the thick down jackets or warm heating systems of modern times, so they could only rely on their own bodies to resist the severe cold.

A fireplace built of bluestone was a luxury enjoyed by nobles only in winter.

Even with the fireplace lit, Link still felt cold. One can only imagine how much suffering those commoners without fireplaces must have endured during the winter.

But for ordinary people, having a wooden house to shelter them from the wind and rain is already a blessing; how could they dare to ask for more?

The only way for ordinary people to keep warm was to huddle in bed and wrap themselves in all the clothes and blankets they could find.

"This winter is indeed much colder than in previous years. Even though the people have houses to live in, some of the weaker people may find it difficult to withstand such a harsh winter."

Old Slow added firewood to the fireplace, looked out at the falling snow, and said with a worried expression. His face was full of concern.

"If only we had coal," Link sighed.

Because most commoners' houses were built of wood, they dared not light firewood for warmth in their homes during the winter.

One reason is that firewood burns too quickly, making it impossible to guarantee a long burning time.

The fire often goes out after a short time, unable to provide sustained warmth.

Secondly, the thick smoke produced by burning firewood will permeate the room.

The acrid smoke makes it difficult to breathe; one might not freeze to death first, but rather choke to death from the smoke.

Furthermore, lighting a fire in a wooden hut greatly increases the risk of an accidental fire.

In the event of a fire, during the cold winter, civilians have nowhere to escape and can only watch helplessly as their homes are consumed by flames.

Unfortunately, Link hasn't yet discovered that there is coal in this world.

Otherwise, with coal, all we need to do is build a batch of stoves and teach the common people how to use chimneys and how to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, and we can safely help the common people in the territory get through the winter.

Coal is a precious resource for heating in winter. With it, the common people in the territory would no longer have to endure the biting cold.

"Coal? What's that?"

Old Slow asked in bewilderment when he first heard the word "coal" from Link.

"Coal is a type of ore used for heating in winter."

Link didn't think much of it and, with an attitude of explaining, told Old Slo about the characteristics and appearance of coal.

He described in detail the color, texture, and characteristics of coal when it burns, hoping that old Slow would understand the importance of coal.

Unexpectedly, after listening to Link's description of coal, Old Slo's expression became somewhat excited.

His eyes gleamed with excitement, as if he had discovered some treasure.

"My lord, I think, I think I know about this coal you're talking about!" Old Slo said excitedly. His voice trembled slightly, as if this discovery was of great significance to him.

"You know about coal? Where is it?" Link's spirits lifted, and he quickly asked.

His eyes were full of anticipation.

If there really is coal, then the harsh winter will no longer be a threat. The civilians within the territory will be saved.

"As you requested, when I inspected the inhabitants and land resources of the Thorn City territory, I discovered a place near the iron mine that showed signs of mining activity. According to the local people, the former Lord Schumpeter once sent laborers to dig there, presumably expecting there to be minerals. But in the end, instead of finding any valuable minerals, they unearthed some dark stones."

"A dark, round stone?" Link asked, somewhat excited.

"Yes, and during the excavation, the mine suddenly collapsed, killing a group of laborers inside. People said it was a place abandoned and cursed by the gods, and considered it an ominous place. So after that, Schumpeter never sent anyone to excavate there again."

"Coal mine pits are indeed prone to collapse if not properly managed. But what happened afterward?"

“I went to the site and saw it. There was a collapsed and buried mine shaft there, and some dark stones were scattered on the ground. They looked a lot like the coal you mentioned, my lord. Moreover, these dark stones were not far from the surface. If we wanted to mine them, I estimate that we wouldn’t need to dig very deep a mine shaft. We could probably dig a lot by digging from top to bottom.”

Old Slow reported in detail.

"Could there be an open-pit coal mine nearby? Quickly send someone there to fetch some of those dark stones for me; I want to examine them myself."

Link gave the order. His heart was filled with joy and anticipation.

If there really is an open-pit coal mine near Thorn Ridge, then the common people in the territory will be blessed.

They no longer have to shiver in the cold winter.

With coal, we can also collect coal gas and make coke, which will be very useful.

Coke oven gas, a byproduct of coking, has a high calorific value and is an excellent gaseous fuel for open-hearth and heated furnaces, making it an important energy component in integrated iron and steel enterprises. Coking chemicals are also important chemical raw materials. Therefore, coking production is a crucial link in the modern iron and steel industry.
