The group said nothing.
Lu Siya gritted her teeth and said, "Elder Zhang, I will make an application to the corporation for the mine explorers we lose, and I will give them double the normal blood money. Scimitar, I'll do the same for your teammates. Even if they're just injured, I will increase the wages by 30% according to the basic wage we agreed upon on the contract.
"I have to repeat my earlier words: As long as we find the Red Radiance Jade mine, the whole world is ours!"
The group looked at each other and cast aside their unprofessional emotions before they started acting again.
They used a specialized underground soundwave reader to scan the walls in search for the highest reaction and a crack that would lead them to a larger area.
One of the mine explorers who came from Sky Pillar Corporation sat down in a meditative position and started mumbling. Fine spirit tattoos appeared nonstop at his temples, eyes, and the center of his forehead.
I saw someone talking about how the author retconned the first 50 chapters and how Meng Chao seems to have forgotten about his throat being slit.
I'd like to argue that Meng Chao hasn't. I can't remember whether it has been mentioned yet, but it's said that Meng Chao's eighteen-year-old self might retain some of his previous life's memories, but he's instinctively against the ideals of his past life.
Also, I dislike Lu Siya. She's like one of those politicians who spur people on to fight her wars.
