《Observation Log Of Miss Miner》Chapter 3: Idea Of Business
Advertisement
Right now, it was the 8th day since we started to dig the tunnel. My cargo, finally showing the sign of fulling.
Knowing my cargo about to fill Andrews's group and siblings began to work even harder for some reason.
In the evening, I found the reason behind their activity from their conversation.
Seem they follow a rule that it is alright to take any ore or stone they mined after my cargo gets full.
In some way, it is the same as a salary bonus, also the only way for slaves like those siblings to earn their food because slaves work free.
As expected experienced team, they filled my cargo only up to 99.2% before taking the rest at night.
"Fucking greedy bastards, have you no shame ?"
After looking at their action, their boss Andrews himselfcoudn't help but to complainn but from his action he seem doesn't mind such an action.
I could almost see him having a very awkward smile while complaining to his group.
I don't know how he looked like, but everyone is likes a good boss.
So that is a plus in ma book.
Just like that, they passed another night in the mine tunnel.
"Wake up! you shameless bastards toke to collect your bonuses."
On that day, everyone worked twice as hard before they were even more chatty seems they are in quite a good mood.
It was a bit grimdark, but I could see their life as another kind of slice of life story that I enjoy.
What at night all of them able to fill their own bags including the siblings. They were able to fill the bucket they bought above halfway.
"Tomorrow we leave the mine early, It will be not my fault if any of you idiots left behind, get it ?"
"Okay~."

Following the Andrews word, the group began to prepare to spend their night.
"Bao, drop that. It is a useless one."
"But isn't this a magic stone ?"
I saw the brother stopping her sister from placing a specific rock inside the bucket.
It was a rock about the size of the bread. Also, the girl's name is Bao, I see.
A little treasure.
"No, look closer. Isn't have a yellow hue mixed with black? Not a blue or green."
"Yes, it is."
"That means it is useless ore, just thrown to the loader."
Sadly I can't distinguish color, looks like ores and rocks with yellow or black hue considered useless and worthless.
"Okay."
Bao placed the worthless ore on my loader and went to his brother's side to sleep.
But for some reason, my loader placed the useless ore in a place where receive things for the mass convertor.
Weird...
Received Pure Meld Ore with 100% conversation rate.
What?
Converting 3kg matter added to the storage.
So I can use those useless ores to repair and upgrade my body?
Fabricator is ready to use and install add-ons
I take that as a yes.
A new menu appeared inside my head, showing a long list of add-ons and options for repairing my various parts.
Of course, almost all of them grayed due to low matter and various requirements.
Right now, I can only install in my body are those three.
Air Stabilizer Lv1 Cleans pollution, toxins, and dust in the air in an area of 10m3. /Requires 2kg matter./ Beverage Maker Lv1 Using a small amount of matter host can create unique beverages. Upon use, it restores both the physical and mental needs. /Requires 1kg matter, 250g for each beverage + 100g for recyclable container./ Sub-arm Lv1 Special arms possess extremely nimble fingers to work on special ores and material or use small arms in case of emergency./3kg matter./

As the big brother said, it may be the last time it gets this as this ore is no different than roadside trash.
So hoping the next one is no different than an empty dream.
Collecting ores myself also is out of the question.
There is no way I can distinguish ore with this kind of eyes, plus any further stress will lead to my converter exploding into pieces.
Maybe I install an arm and collect bread-sized ores?
Bah!
As if someone like me who was hit by a truck two times has that kind of luck.
The only way would be to make other people give me the ore.
Wait!
There is, but what if it tasted like those nutrition tablets, dry and tasteless?
Can I modify the taste?
Host can adjust the taste of beverage to suit the user.
Then maybe I can turn this around.In the end the ore I require seems to be just trash lying around.
Who would refuse a chance to exchange it for something worth it?
And so, I spent the entire night designing the taste, container, and logo that were both easy to hold and fun to look at it.
Also, it is nice to have something to tinker with during the night.
As a machine, I don't feel tired or sleep, so I had to spend the whole night alone, acting like a statue.
I tried many things to pass the time, like connecting words or counting every rock in the tunnel.
Also, I tried to recall every story I read in the past. But sadly by doing that, I also recalled its endings.
Which, I ended up spoiling the story itself.
But not right now!
Now I had something to do.
After the night later I ended up with five types of cups with each having a different kind of flavor and thickness.
Of course, the first is for a little Bao chocolate with the thickness of the medium.
The second is for her big brother. I don't know his taste, but I choose a mix of apple and milk with heavy thickness.
The 3rd is for the group. I choose a latte taste with light thickness.
You know the adults and coffee.
On the 4th, I choose black coffee with heavy thickness it would feel the same as espresso.
On the 5th I chose a mix of sweet and sour with a light thickness.
Who would know maybe there is a weird one likes a unique taste right?
"Well, you guys got a quiet haul."
"Then put them in the processor so we can measure the worth."
Following the Andrews command, I loaded everything in cargo to the processor.
"Hmm, 845. In jade or in mana stone ?"
"Jade."
Following the conversation, Andrews and his group exchanged their stone and ores for currency.
"All of you, we meet at this place in two days!
. So take rest and prepare your essentials."
"As for you siblings, you two can come as well.I like honest workers like you two."
After a simple sentence, Andrews dismissed the group. Seems, he took a liking to siblings as well.
All of them went their separate way while siblings went back to camp.
As for me?
Andrews escorted me to the closest parking slot.
"Fucking junk at least you earned your worth. Welcome to the team HM."
After some rude sentences, he left while leaving me behind on slot.
What use of raging at the machine, you idiot.

Child of Dusk
Life can be cruel, especially to those who don't fit in. But what would you do if you were given a second chance? Tim was a nobody during his time on Earth. As a penniless orphan with no friends to speak of, life was tough for him in his little Arizona town in the '90s. He'd utterly lost hope for the future until one day, he was reincarnated as Alvanue, beloved daughter and heir to the Starlit Throne of Silthonduen. Now, Alvanue has everything a princess could ever want: a loving family, loyal comrades and an entire kingdom at her finger tips. But what good is a kingdom when there's a whole world of magic and mystery out there to explore? *** Ok! Disclaimer time. I do edit my own work and I do not have a beta reader, so please feel free to point out any errors or plot holes (politely, of course). Each chapter will be around 4,000 to 6,000 words long and while I was posting every day at the beginning, I think I'll cut that down to once a week for now, excluding bonus chapters! I really don't want to get burned out. I started writing this because I love world building, so this is gonna be heavy on lore. If you're not into that, there's still a ton of character progression and action to look forward to! It's going to be slow at the beginning, but I promise it will pick up eventually. Thanks for checking my story out, I appreciate it a lot!
