I Become a Landlady in the Game World

However, what made her remarkable was her ability to perfectly control the damage she dealt to the Intermediate Demon Rat. With a single move, she could not only severely wound the Intermediate Demon Rat but more importantly, she could deliver it right next to Zhou Bai.

At that moment, all Zhou Bai needed was a simple action to take all the Experience Points of the Intermediate Demon Beast.

Zhou Bai felt a bit helpless about the "feeding" from this older sister.

But ultimately, he accepted her kind gesture.

The Undead and Beastmen watching the scene would also toss Li Xingteng's group some nearly dead creatures.

Thus, the Experience Points for Zhou Bai and his group began to dramatically increase.

The Demon Rats, frightened by their tactic, were about to scurry back into their burrows to escape, but Heidi, the Mage, had already prepared. She used her Space Magic to lock down the space.

The Demon Rats ended up dead, not a single one spared, by the hands of Zhou Bai and his group.

Although quite a few people were injured or exhausted, they quickly recovered to perfect condition with the aid of Potions.

"Although this potion was a bit expensive, it really does the job!" Li Xingteng couldn't help expressing after downing a bottle.

"Expensive, yes, but our lives are more important," Zhou Bai responded.

Their lives were singular; they needed to cherish them.

If possible, she really wished that everyone in the territory could always stay safe.

But she was well aware that casualties were truly unavoidable in this world.

She knew that Mercenary Teams often suffered casualties when they encountered stronger Demon Beasts during missions.

In the Resident information the Lord had access to, names would often turn gray.

"Mm," Li Xingteng nodded.

He was registered in several Blue Star Territories he'd visited in Hope Village but hadn't found news of his wife and daughter; he would keep searching, but he had to prepare for the chance that they hadn't come to this world.

Anyway, he had to survive. Only by staying alive could he hold onto hope.

The same went for most others.

"Village Chief, come take a look," a man cleaning the battlefield called out while inside the cave.

Immediately, Zhou Bai's attention was drawn.

Having reached the edge of the cave and removing a layer of soil, a gray-black rock was revealed.

"Just identified it, it shows as a metal material, but what type of metal is unknown."

Zhou Bai, hearing this, picked up a piece and examined it too.

[Item: a type of metal material]

Zhou Bai was somewhat surprised; usually, identification provided answers!

At this moment, Heidi and her group came over, and hearing Zhou Bai's doubt, she explained, "Only materials that are discovered and used will display a name, and the name will be given by the discoverer."

"In that case, let's dig!" Zhou Bai stated directly, "I have a feeling this rock could be very useful."

She didn't know how it worked in this world, but back on Blue Star, any metal could be of great use.

It was best to dig first.

"Alright."

Everyone responded in unison.

Then, except for a few guarding outside the cave, everyone, including Zhou Bai, diligently started mining the ore.

After a full day's effort, they managed to extract all the ore from this area, filling their backpacks to the brim.

Fortunately, everyone had been out for several days and had brought enough backpacks.

"Is this ore likely very precious?" Heidi asked Zhou Bai after the excavation was done.

"What do you mean?" Zhou Bai inquired curiously.

"Typically, where there's a lot of ore, it suggests the energy needed for the ore is less, making it more common. Conversely, less ore suggests it's more precious," Heidi explained, sharing common knowledge of this world, "The fact that we've excavated all the ore here so quickly fits with this scenario."

Listening, Zhou Bai nodded, "If that's true, then we are really lucky."

"Yes, Bengala Town might be the City of Craftsmen due to its plentiful mines around it, which they've explored quite a bit. Finding more so close by just means, we were really lucky," Heidi affirmed, then threw Zhou Bai a smile.

Watching this scene, the surrounding people couldn't help but stare in awe.
