Chapter 120: Magnetite

Elderly Lady Qiao suddenly spoke up, “Qiao Mu, why aren’t you waking your youngest aunt up already?”

“Whoever bit her will treat her.” Qiao Mu’s words rendered Elderly Lady Qiao speechless.

By now, Qiao Zhongxing also discovered that there were not any zombies chasing them. His back still drenched in cold sweat, he helplessly glanced at the child who had jumped down from the carriage.

This little scoundrel, couldn’t she say things more clearly? This indolent habit of reticence needed to be cured!

“Second Uncle, wait a moment for me.”

Qiao Mu walked farther away while holding the white squirrel. Then, she knelt down and poked its chubby body. “Can you enter the paradise?”

Only after seeing the white squirrel did she remember that everything alive, including herself, could not enter the paradise, but the paradise’s own lake contained fish.

This meant that it did not truly reject all living things, it merely exclusively rejected foreign living things.

However, this white squirrel was an authentic entity that naturally came from the paradise. As for why it existed in the paradise from the start, it was a bit strange…

“Squeak! Chirp!”

“You are a squirrel, not a bird!” Don’t keep uttering such incongruous bird calls.

Qiao Mu poked it again. “Can you mine the magnetite mines? Can you extract magnetite from the mines?”

The little girl did not feel any guilt when speaking these words.

It had to be said that extracting magnetite ores from the mines was a technical skill. Many engineers work together with separate designated tasks day and night nonstop before they could extract a magnetite ore, and the portion that they could extract was pitifully little, losing countless amount of magnetite in the process.

The child was actually conversing with the white squirrel, but what was weirder was that the white squirrel was responding by furiously nodding its head.

“Master, Master, I am useful!” That was the meaning pouring from its adorable beady eyes.

“Ao’ye.”

“Little Master, don’t worry, there aren’t any mystic cultivators nearby,” Ao’ye said as soon as he appeared.

Qiao Mu nodded and negotiated with the listless sapling before taking the Heart of Paradise with a sigh.

A white light suddenly flashed.

As expected, the white squirrel entered the half-transparent valley without any hindrance.

Qiao Mu’s eyes shifted as she watched the white squirrel dash inside the magnetite mine mountains incredibly fast, its tiny white figure disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Qiao Mu originally thought that it would require some effort before it could exit. After all, it was such a gigantic mountain, she would need some time as well if she went in herself to personally mine a part of the magnetite mine.

To her surprise, Qiao Mu was about to put away the Heart of Paradise when a white figure suddenly leaped out.

The white squirrel appeared with its stubby forelimbs holding a round-shaped ore.

“Squeak chirp chirp,” the white squirrel called and then sat in Qiao Mu’s arms. It started peeling the skin of the ore with its two forelimbs.

It was really peeling its skin like peeling a banana!

Qiao Mu was not the only one dumbfounded. The watching Ao’ye was also stunned beyond words.

Since when did the skin of a magnetite ore become as soft as a banana peel? Didn’t it require the careful chiseling with tools from engineers?

Quickly, a pitch-black but transparent rock—its jade-colored core could faintly be seen—appeared in Qiao Mu’s palm.

Hm? This magnetite was so brightly black? There was also a dash of jade color floating inside of it? Having never seen this, Qiao Mu turned and flipped the magnetite in her hand.

Ao’ye had already started sputtering with excitement on the side. “I-it! It’s high-grade magnetite, Little Master!”

High-grade magnetite? Such a giant one too? It was the size of two and a half adult palms.

According to the size of magnetites normally sold in magnetite stores, this magnetite could be cut into 10 high-grade magnetites at least.

Of course, it was guaranteed that each piece would be sold at a sky-high price where the supply falls short of demand!

Even Ao’ye who was experienced and knowledgeable from being in Guanlan City was stuttering from excitement at seeing such a giant high-grade magnetite. From this, it could be seen how rare this item was.
