"The mining field is actually this Stone Forest, and these stones are very special," a unique mineral with great research value. They might even be used to make armor or something, so we should take some back to the research institute. You create a scoring system for this. Oh, and the teachers will mine as well, earning points too. After all, these stones are too hard for anyone below an Awakener to mine..."
Wang Tao explained.
Comparatively, mining in the safe zone was indeed a break from hunting mutated lords elsewhere. However, they didn't need to mine too much—one day's worth of mining would be enough for the research institute. If the institute discovered something significant, they could always return to mine more.
"So that's the case. Principal Wang, rest assured, I'll quickly establish a reasonable scoring method!" Pan Jian immediately promised.
