Chapter 244: I’m Not Joking
As they moved forward slowly, Leon didn’t forget to examine the surrounding rocks—after all, the purpose of this trip was mining.
So whenever he came across copper-bearing rocks, Leon would take out his pickaxe and smash them. At those times, Abigail would automatically stop and wait for him to finish before continuing.
By the time Leon had dug out a staircase leading to the next level, Abigail still hadn’t seen a second monster appear, and she was a little displeased.
“Why are there so few monsters in the mine?”
“If the mine were full of monsters, how would you get any mining done?” Leon quipped.
Truth be told, Leon knew exactly why the monsters were scarce—luck.
That was why he only came here when his luck was good. Not only did it make finding gemstones easier, but it also meant more copper ore, quicker discovery of staircases, and fewer monster encounters.
After all, that first trip into the mines had left a deep impression on him. He was here to mine, not to enjoy combat. Anything that hurt his mineral yield was a nuisance in his eyes.
Abigail stuck out her tongue sheepishly. She had been too excited and had forgotten Leon’s main goal here was mining.
