Chapter 1

After Tang Mo had eaten her fill and drunk enough, she neatly moved the crystal stone cubes that she had just cut into the space.

Jingjing had not been idle either while below. She helped Tang Mo stack the crystal stones neatly to one side.

Jingjing usually didn't seem to have much strength, but when it came to matters related to crystal stones, she suddenly became incredibly strong.

Tang Mo looked at the small, fluffy creature and was speechless.

She was called a divine beast, a crystal-eating beast, but after raising her for so long, Tang Mo hadn't seen her be of any use, and her combat power was even less than that of an ordinary low-level monster.

However, having such a little creature by her side, Tang Mo had already gotten used to it, and she didn't feel bored or lonely on the journey.

So even if Jingjing was just a useless little beast, Tang Mo still felt quite happy.

No, it couldn't be completely useless; at least it could eat crystal stones (here, Tang Mo's smile is manually added).

After eating and resting enough, Tang Mo had to continue working.

Stepping onto the small cloud of mental energy, Tang Mo returned to the tunnel, raised the giant axe, and began cutting the crystal stones.

Block by block, the crimson crystal stones were transported down, and Tang Mo felt a great sense of satisfaction.

This was all money.

She spent another five to six hours in the tunnel, until she reached the end of the tunnel and stopped.

The tunnel was surrounded by crystal stones, but the crystal stones only extended one meter deep. Beyond that, the material was ordinary rock.

Cutting all these high-grade crimson crystal stones was a huge project.

Fortunately, she became more skilled at cutting in the later stages, which allowed her to finish the job. Otherwise, she wouldn't know when she would finish.

When Tang Mo came out of the tunnel again, she saw Jingjing lying on the ground in a spread-eagle position.

Clearly, the digger above and the mover below were both exhausted. Neither of them had it easy.

Next to Jingjing, the large mirror was surrounded by red crystal stone cubes.

Tang Mo carefully collected them all and put them into the space, then meticulously adjusted the order of the items in the space.

The small supermarket was still full after the last upgrade and had hardly been used.

The two warehouses were filled with food and edible treasures that Tang Mo had collected, such as mental energy flowers and items that could enhance attributes. Since she had no place to use them, she collected them and put them all in the space.

Since time was stopped in this warehouse, there was no fear of the items spoiling.

There were also many hot meals stored inside, which she could take out and eat whenever she was hungry.

Every time Tang Mo returned to the S Base, she would replenish many hot meals so that she could eat them whenever she was outside.

The other warehouse stored various treasures and oddities that Tang Mo had collected from different places, including those from the wild tribe, small items bought at the auction house, the previous patterns, and various strange things she encountered on the road.

Some items that were useless or that Tang Mo didn't like were sold at the exchange when she returned to the S Base, while the items she liked were all stored in this warehouse.

Besides these small items, this warehouse was now filled with the crystal stone cubes cut from the tunnel.

The warehouse was extremely high and large, and all the crimson crystal stone cubes fit perfectly.

However, the previous crystal stones could no longer fit.

Tang Mo could only place the less red, high-grade crystal stones and the mid-grade crystal stones outside on the ground, stacking them into piles.

As for the low-grade crystal stones, they were already piled into two small mountains outside the warehouse.

Looking at so many crystal stones, Tang Mo couldn't help but feel like a nouveau riche.

Was she now very rich?

Not only was she very rich, but Tang Mo might not realize that she was not only the top-ranked in attributes on the Huaxia leaderboard, but her wealth also made her the richest person in Huaxia.

After organizing everything, Tang Mo sat down next to Jingjing, who was still lying on the ground, unable to get up.

All the high-grade crystal stones had been collected, and this trip to the post-apocalyptic junkyard was not in vain.

But...

Tang Mo looked at the huge illusion ahead. A whole day had passed, and no one had come out of the illusion.

What was going on?

What was the relationship between the illusion and the crystal mine?

The crystal mine was just a tunnel, and it didn't make sense for the illusion to be guarding the crystal mine.

But if the crystal mine was just the "appetizer" for the illusion, what other unknown things were there below?

Tang Mo was thinking about what the treasure Zhang Chao and Qin Fen were looking for was. Was it the crystal mine, or was there really a treasure below the illusion?

With these doubts, Tang Mo took out her sleeping bag, hugged Jingjing in her arms, and prepared to sleep.

She was really tired, and no matter how big the matter, she would deal with it after she woke up. If she continued to stay up, she wouldn't have any way to deal with anything that might happen.

This cave was very unsafe, and someone might come out of the illusion at any time.

The tunnel entrance above the cave was also open, and the people in the post-apocalyptic junkyard were known to be ruthless, and no one dared to provoke them easily.

Tang Mo condensed her mental energy into a golden wall around herself, creating a comfortable artificial nest. She could immediately sense anyone approaching.

Thus, Tang Mo slept soundly.

This sleep was truly satisfying, and with no one disturbing her, she slept until the next day.

When Tang Mo opened her eyes again, she was startled to see the time on her ID watch.

Had she been in this cave for two days?

Not a single person had come out?

Tang Mo looked at the unchanged illusion and couldn't help but wonder if those people would never return.

What other secrets were there below the illusion that she didn't know?

Tang Mo couldn't just leave the huge mirror like this.

She felt that this matter shouldn't be so simple.

But the secrets below were still unknown, and going down alone felt a bit boring. Tang Mo decided to climb out of the tunnel first and cause some trouble above.
