"haaa haaa" Kevin sat on the soil, his body sweaty and somewhat red, breathing heavily from the exertion. Next to him, Sia mirrored his sweat-drenched state, her heavy breaths accompanied by an uncontrollable smile. Her efforts had paid off, as evidenced by the large pile of illuminating blue crystals nearby.
Sia estimated that she had mined around 7 to 8 kilograms of stones that day, a haul that would typically take four days to accumulate. However, her smile faltered as she noticed an even larger pile nearby, towering at least half her height.
Kevin, lost in his own world, remained oblivious to Sia's gaze as he focused on his status, which displayed some changes.

Surprised, he observed an increase of one point, each in strength and stamina. He pondered the reason behind this sudden boost 'is it because I worked hard.' considering that he had worked just as hard the previous day without any attribute increases.
'It must be because I'm now a cultivator,' he reasoned in his mind, connecting the dots. The newfound ease of attribute growth seemed to be a benefit of his cultivation practice.
Kevin realized that he had limited options for increasing his cultivation level. While he could use the world qi to gradually open his meridians, it would take him days to fully open just one meridian.
'I must find a way to expedite my progress. I only have one month,' Kevin thought urgently, his eyes filled with determination. He turned his attention to Sia, who was admiring his substantial crystal pile.
'She could be a great help, but...' Kevin glanced at her stomach, sensing that her yin energy reserves were insufficient for his needs.
"Hey Sia, would you like some more crystals?" Kevin asked, testing the waters.
Sia nodded, unashamed of her desire for more.
"In that case, I'll give you 2 kilograms from my pile, but you'll have to do the task I mentioned earlier a bit sooner," Kevin offered, trying to strike a deal.
"Make it 3," Sia quickly countered, displaying her own negotiation skills.
Chuckling, Kevin agreed, "Alright, 3 kilograms it is."
Changing the topic, Kevin inquired, "Do you have any female friends around here?"
Confused by his line of questioning, Sia replied, "Yeah, I think so."
"Then introduce me to some of them today," Kevin stated, rising from the ground and dusting off his attire.
Curious, Sia asked, "Why?"
"Why do you think? Of course, to have some fun with them," Kevin responded casually as he picked up his axe and resumed mining for more crystals.
Sia's mind raced with questions. 'Why does he need them? Aren't I enough? We've only done it once. Is he already tired of me?'
Conflicted, Sia contemplated Kevin's request to introduce him to new partners.
"Even one would be enough, but make sure she's willing to join in," Kevin added, sensing Sia's hesitation. "Now that your shift is over, go find me a girl. I'll be out in an hour, and you'll receive your reward once I see the result."
With that, Kevin returned his focus to mining, utilizing the remaining stamina in his body to continue his search for crystals.
As Sia ventured off to explore potential options, Kevin's determination surged, and he resumed mining with renewed vigor. He aimed to extract as many crystals as possible within the next three days. After that, he planned to embark on monster hunting, a venture that would require registering with the Cultivator Association. However, to register, he needed to open his first meridian.
Kevin had initially intended to initiate the process the following day. However, upon sensing Sia's depleted yin energy, he doubted the feasibility of accomplishing it in such a short timeframe. Generating sufficient yin energy in a woman's body often took time.
"If I want to succeed, I need at least two women per day, preferably cultivators. But I have to do with what I have," Kevin contemplated, his mind focused on his ambitious goals. As he continued mining, his phone buzzed, signaling a message from Sia. She informed him that she had found a potential partner for him.
"Ah, she's efficient," Kevin remarked with excitement, gathering his belongings and swiftly making his way towards the exit. He bid farewell to his uncle and friend, explaining that he would be leaving early that day. They paid little mind, having noticed the large bag on his shoulder—a testament to his productive mining session.
Kevin proceeded to the counter to check out, exchanging his accumulated crystals for their respective value. Today's haul amounted to a remarkable 17.450 kilograms, a personal record. Sia, too, had amassed an impressive 8.125 kilograms.
With their combined efforts, they earned a substantial sum—3490 and 1625 units, respectively—validating their hard work and dedication.
As Kevin left the mine, a sense of anticipation filled his being. He eagerly looked forward to his rendezvous with the new Booty call Sia had found him.
Kevin encountered Sia waiting for him outside the mine. As she approached him, she informed him that she had found a potential partner, who happened to be on a bus nearby.
Curious, Kevin asked, "How do you know her?"
Sia pointed towards the bus, which was heavily armored for protection against potential monster attacks. The windows were tinted black, making it difficult to see inside.
"She's the bus driver, and since I often travel on this route, we've become acquainted," Sia explained. "She's agreed to have sex with you, but she expects to be compensated financially."
"Perfect. Consider this your reward for finding her," Kevin replied, wiring Sia 600 units as a token of gratitude. With the transaction completed, he headed towards the bus.
However, Sia hurriedly intervened, stopping Kevin in his tracks. "Wait! You didn't ask her how much she expects to be paid."
Kevin smirked, unfazed by Sia's concern. "Don't worry, I'll discuss the details with her. Now, please step aside."
Gently pushing Sia aside, Kevin proceeded towards the bus, eager to engage in the encounter that awaited him.
