My carefree life in space

Chapter 106 Sudden Changes in the Mining Area

"Zihao, why isn't Keke awake yet? She's been sleeping for too long." Deng Yunfang held Lin Keke's hand and rubbed it against her face, her eyes full of anxiety.

The Lin family originally thought that Lin Keke should have woken up by this morning at the latest, but it is already noon and Lin Keke is still sleeping soundly without realizing it.

Even Lin Chenghui, who was usually quite composed, showed signs of worry on his face.

"There's one pill left. Should we give it to Coco too?" Lin Zihao couldn't answer his mother's question; this was the only thing he could think of.

Lin Chenghui and Deng Yunfang exchanged glances, somewhat hesitant. Although the pills from yesterday had some effect, they weren't as good as they had imagined. What if this last one wouldn't work either?

After hesitating for a while, Lin Chenghui closed his eyes, then opened them again, and looked at Lin Zihao, saying, "Let's do as you say!"

Lin Zihao took the last remaining pill and brought it to Lin Keke's lips, but due to his nervousness, he almost couldn't feed it to her.

After Lin Keke successfully took the pill, the whole family stared intently at her face, afraid of missing even the slightest change.

Unfortunately, they practically stared holes through Lin Keke's face, but she still didn't wake up.

"What kind of lousy pill is this? And they dare to charge such a high price! Zihao, hurry up and go settle accounts with the shopkeeper! How dare they cheat our Lin family!" Deng Yunfang said fiercely, wiping away the tears streaming from the corners of her eyes.

Lin Zihao's expression was also not good, but he still retained a sliver of rationality.

"Mom, the shopkeeper said from the beginning that they couldn't guarantee it would be effective. More importantly, we signed an agreement."

"So we're just going to let them go like this? How can that be?" Deng Yunfang raised her voice, her anger rising considerably.

Lin Zihao was unwilling to accept this, but unfortunately, they came to him on their own initiative, so he could only swallow this bitter pill for now.

"At least my sister isn't in as much pain as before," Lin Miaomiao, who was practically invisible, whispered a fair statement.

Although the volume was extremely low, everyone present heard it. Lin Chenghui and his son were momentarily speechless; what he said didn't seem to be wrong. Compared to before, Coco was indeed much better now.

But Deng Yunfang immediately became unhappy, "Miaomiao, what's wrong with you? Why are you taking someone else's side? Do you not want Coco to wake up?"

Lin Miaomiao was speechless; her aunt was always so unreasonable. To avoid her losing control and yelling again, Lin Miaomiao chose to ignore her and remain silent.

She had long ago realized that enduring temporary grievances was to avoid greater grievances.

She had protested to her parents when she was a child, but they told her to bear it as much as possible, since the eldest son's family would be in charge in the future and her family would have to rely on the eldest son's family to make a living.

Fortunately, her uncle and cousin were reasonable, which was one of the reasons she didn't talk back.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Miao Miao's words don't make no mistake. Although Coco won't wake up, at least she's not in so much pain anymore."

Lin Chenghui pressed his wife down to sit on the edge of the bed, then turned to his son and said, "Since Keke is getting better, it shouldn't be a problem to move her anymore. I've decided to take her back to the Imperial Star. Maybe she'll recover faster in a familiar environment."

Before Lin Zihao could speak, Deng Yunfang became excited, "Yes, yes, let's go back quickly. I can't stand this awful place for another second."

"What about the pills?" Lin Zihao agreed to send his sister back, but given the limited effectiveness of the pills, he was unsure whether to buy some more.

"Let's talk about it later. If Coco's condition doesn't return to normal, then it's fine not to buy it." Although the Lin family was not short of money, he still harbored resentment in his heart, angry that these pills could not cure his daughter's illness, so he did not want to give the shop any more money.

Remembering his original plan to check on the situation at the mine, Lin Chenghui decided to leave the next day.

If he knew what was about to happen, he would definitely slap himself a few times for not leaving sooner.

Lin Zihao accompanied Lin Chenghui to the Lin family's mining area. After what happened last time, the area is now not only heavily guarded, but also under constant surveillance. There is even a set of equipment on the surface and another set on the ground. The number of people on duty has also increased several times.

After inspecting the security facilities, which were flawless, Lin Chenghui nodded approvingly to his son.

Now that he had come to the mining area, Lin Chenghui wanted to see for himself what the reserves were like. Ignoring his son's advice, he went deep into the mining area.

Lin Zihao had no choice but to follow him inside.

Although it is deep in the mining area, the mine tunnels here are very smooth, and the most advanced lighting facilities are installed on the top of the mine, making it as bright as day.

This actually reduced the feeling of oppression and suffocation.

As Lin Chenghui walked, he listened to the person in charge introduce the relevant situation. Judging from the smile on his face, he was very satisfied with the storage capacity here.

As I walked, I heard a commotion ahead.

"What's going on?" Lin Chenghui asked, somewhat displeased.

One of the men in the entourage immediately ran to check, and soon returned with a look of delight. "Sir, we've unearthed a rare, top-grade amethyst ore ahead, and quite a lot of it."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chenghui immediately became interested. He knew that amethyst ore was also graded, and the energy contained in a top-grade amethyst ore was equivalent to that of 1000 ordinary amethyst ore.

Top-quality amethyst mines are extremely rare, and it's not uncommon for a mining area to have none at all. The fact that so many have now appeared is truly a pleasant surprise!

In that case, what was stolen before doesn't seem so bad anymore.

"Lead the way, let's go take a look." Lin Chenghui was very excited.

Soon, the group arrived at a deeper area where several workers were operating mining robots. The storage area next to them was piled with a lot of ore, the most conspicuous of which was top-grade amethyst ore.

It has a richer color than ordinary amethyst ore, and there is a faint sense of energy flowing within it.

Lin Chenghui picked up a crystal and examined it closely, a smile spreading across his face. With these top-grade amethyst mines, let's see who dares to laugh at them for doing all the work for others.

However, remembering the loss of ore last time, Lin Chenghui decided to stay behind as a precaution. Once all the top-grade amethyst ore was mined, he would take it with him, since he didn't lack space teleportation devices anyway.

It has to be said that they were really lucky; there was a lot of top-grade amethyst ore here, which had clearly formed its own vein.

By the time the mining robots could no longer find any top-grade amethyst ore, it was already afternoon.

The sight of the top-grade amethyst ore piled up like a small mountain on the ground was dazzling; there was so much! A preliminary estimate suggested there must be over a thousand crystals, something no one had anticipated.

Just as Lin Chenghui took out all his spatial teleportations, preparing to take away all the top-grade amethyst ore here, an unexpected event occurred.

The mine, which had been peaceful just moments before, suddenly began to shake violently. Countless rocks rained down from above, thick smoke billowed from the site, and everyone stumbled and fell, groaning in pain.
