Weed was caught off guard for a moment, and his position was in a crisis, so he needed to work harder. He could also make sculptures to get the stats, but creating masterpieces would only raise them by 1 at the best.
“A couple of days to gouge what I wish out of the earth…”
After the skill was generated, Weed had improved it a little by digging out rocks. It slightly decreased vitality’s consumption and the range of his pickaxe widened.
“I still need to slightly increase the efficiency.”
Weed left the plow to take the Mithril that Yellowy had brought.
“I brought what you want. I am not eating for free now. I am working diligently to get my 2 coppers each day.”
While carrying, Yellowy made sure to flatter Weed in order to eat!
“I am glad to see the owner. It is really hard to do farm work without complaining while digging.”
With his flattery, Yellowy was able to eat a lot and the work efficiency increased.
However, the mining areas were broad enough to build apartment buildings.
“Nevertheless, there are limits to humans.”
Weed, after a long time, made a statue of the Orc Karichwi. An unmatched ugly-looking face, but it had grown much bigger. His robust muscular shoulders and strong legs were at least 50% bigger.
“Sculpture Transformation!”
He used Sculpture Transformation to transform himself into the Orc Karachwi.
“Chwiik! Let me see!”
In undead state, there were 2 advantages, infinite vitality and there being no need to eat food. However, when it comes to strength, Orcs were better. Weed was persistently hitting the ground where Helium was believed to be. Orcs were dramatically consuming vitality and had to eat constantly, but due to a significant increase in strength, the digging speed increased and Weed was able to gather quite a lot of ore.
Ding!

Mining skills has reached beginner level 3.

He did not know how much time had passed. Weed sang as his whole body sweat. Of course, time intervals were ignored and he was singing in joy and motivation to work.
“When you dig, money comes out, food comes out, rice comes out.
When helium comes out, it`s a jackpot.
With the money, where should it go.
Spend it on delicious food? Of course not, it’s such a waste.
Spend on clothing? After a few years I won’t fit it anymore.
I should keep it to myself and take it to my grave.”
Expressing love for money and thrift song!
The mining skill was increasing and it was now possible to see and determine roughly where they were buried. If you dig more and find better minerals, you could improve the mining skill proficiency. Weed’s strength and perseverance stats were also phenomenal, and in Jigolaths, you had high quality water and you can dig in mines.
“Let’s dig more and more. Gotta earn money without restraint.”
Weed and Yellowy continued to dig into the ground.

In between his character hunting and adventuring in Jigolaths, Lee Hyun had his midterm exams in his Korean university. Also, the 2nd semester came sooner than expected in November. With the gradual falling leaves, he was waiting for winter break to come. Lee Hyun was walking while carrying his backpack.
“Human’s potential is scary. Living on the borderline of life and death is like waking up to eat while feeling every single cell in the body.”
He was describing the life in the jungle, the life-threatening beasts and insects. He had just gone on an expensive round trip and Lee Hyun felt that the world was weakened by money.
“Hello.”
In Korean University, Lee Hyun only needed to walk and Martial Arts students would greet him politely. Even the seniors would bow respectfully, but Lee Hyun didn’t feel awkward about it. The disciples where formally trained in the large dojo and they would encounter each other at the same place. They were showing respect and would bow their head to Lee Hyun according to the ranking system.
Lee Hyun went past them. Lee Hyun’s name had become famous among the students.
“How did it feel crossing the desert and jumping from an airplane?”
“Africa to Europe and home.”
