Chapter 80 What if we break up in the future...
"The mineral reserves are huge, and they haven't been fully explored yet, but it will definitely be fine in a few years, and we can slowly mine them!"
Sang Luo's eyes sparkled, "Quick, quick, quick! We found it first, circle it up quickly! Don't make things difficult for others!"
Lan Cang rubbed her head and smiled, "Okay, why didn't I realize you were so obsessed with money before?"
"It's all for you and your future cubs! I don't want my cubs to have to live a hard life with you in this icy and snowy place right after they are born, so of course I have to save some money for them in advance!"
"Child?" Lan Cang was stunned and reached out to touch her belly. "Are you pregnant?"
Sang Luo slapped his hand away and said coquettishly, "No, it won't happen so quickly. If you want a child, you have to work hard on your own."
Lan Cang stammered, "It's still early, there's no rush."
Sang Luo glared at him, "You really don't want it? I want to try some new positions with you tonight..."
Lan Cang's ears were almost red. He hugged Sang Luo into his arms, put her little head against his chest, and begged in a low voice, "There are so many outsiders watching us!" His deep and seductive voice could not hide his lust, which rubbed her heart, "... Let's talk about it when we get back."
At the same time, he turned his head and lowered his voice, ordering his orcs to surround the mine.
It’s time to expand the territory of Icebreaker City.
On the way back, it was dark and the wind was howling. Lan Cang took off his cloak and covered Sang Luo with it. "Luoluo, how did you find the mineral source?"
Sang Luo nuzzled into his arms and said, "One of my innate abilities, the Eyes of Image Breaking, I used to think it was used to break illusions, but now I realize it's actually a treasure hunting skill."
There are many precious mineral resources hidden under the ground of the Northern Continent, but they are either too difficult to mine or the location of the mines is difficult to find... Her innate skill is simply a bug-level timely help.
The mined ore can be used by the orcs in the city, or sold to other cities and continents for generous rewards, which can be used for city construction and traded to purchase more supplies, such as food.
Food is extremely scarce in the Northern Continent. Meat is okay, but there are really no vegetables. If you want to buy vegetables, you can only buy them from other border cities or the continent, which are extremely expensive. Most orcs can't afford to eat and can only drink nutrient solution to survive, but females and cubs generally don't like to drink nutrient solution. Many cubs in the city look a little thin and malnourished.
Sang Luo was calculating with his abacus. "How about this? I'll help you find the mineral source, and you'll be responsible for mining. After the deal is done, we'll split the profits 50-50."
"What's mine is yours, you can take it all."
"Brothers should settle accounts clearly. If we ever have a falling out, it's better to settle the bills!"
"I'm not as reliable as the bill?" Lan Cang bit her lips lightly in anger, then smiled helplessly, "Okay."
He could see that she had a desire to do business.
Within two days, nearby cities also learned about the fire mine and mobilized to dig.
There is strength in numbers. A city actually dug up a small mine near the Ice Breaking City Mine and mined several hundred kilograms of fire ore.
The competition started so quickly.
The first bird to stand out must not be outdone by the latecomers!
For the rest of the days, Sang Luo and Lan Cang took their men to search for mineral sources everywhere.
The mining of mineral resources is extremely difficult. The small town that successfully dug out the mineral resources can only be said to be a blind cat catching a mouse. The subsequent digging was extremely difficult.
Many small cities invested far more manpower and material resources than they gained, and were forced to abandon their plans after just a few days because their income was not enough.
Only a few large cities still had the energy to continue exploring for mineral resources. However, they had no natural skills and could not find out where the mineral resources were, so they could only dig blindly in the dark. On the other hand, Icebreaker City dug one by one and found several large mines in succession, making other cities jealous.
If a large city with strong combat power wanted to intercept it halfway, Lan Cang had already set an ambush and took it down in one fell swoop.
If you are lucky, you can get a new fief.
The two sides cooperated and were invincible.
The territory of Icebreaker City also expanded rapidly in just a few months, and with the huge profits from mining, it recruited soldiers and became a new force that emerged in the northern continent.
Sangluo had done everything he could, and could only help Lancang up to this point.
It's time to say goodbye to him.
That day, Sang Luo rushed back from outside and saw several strong young orcs moving boxes of things into the mansion.
The handsome blond orc in the lead saw her coming, his eyes lit up, and he walked swiftly to her side, "Madam, long time no see, I didn't expect to see you again!"
Sang Luo was suspicious. She had never seen him before, or maybe she had seen too many orcs and had forgotten. So she smiled and greeted him, "Hello."
The orc scratched his head shyly. "I'm Asa. I followed Brother Lan Cang when we were in the Western Continent. I went on a mission some time ago and just came back. I heard that you were coming too, Madam, so I hurried over to say hello."
As he spoke, he sighed again, "Brother Lancang once said that he would only have one partner in his life. After parting with you, he had a genetic mania outbreak. He would rather take inhibitors that are harmful to the body than look for other females."
"I was originally worried about how he would live the rest of his life. Now that you're back, I'm relieved. Lan Cang has suffered for half his life, and finally got what he wanted."
"..." Sang Luo felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. She had no idea that he had suffered so much behind the scenes.
He looked at the boxes in the yard and asked, "What are you carrying?"
"The city lord asked us to move it back. Madam, please open it and take a look."
When Sang Luo opened it, he couldn't help laughing. It wasn't a rare thing, but it was considered a rare thing in the Northern Continent. There were a lot of fresh vegetables and meat, and a variety of ingredients.
This man's intention is to capture her heart, so he must capture her stomach first.
"Since Madam's arrival, Icebreaker City's revenue this month is more than the previous years combined! The lives of the orcs in the city have also improved steadily. Every household can eat fresh vegetables, and they no longer have to drink nutritional supplements. The females in my family are very happy, and the cubs have become fatter."
"I'm glad to be able to help."
Lan Cang came over and said, "I told you before that I have researched many dishes but have not had the chance to cook them for you yet. Today I finally have the chance."
Sang Luo touched his stomach and said with a playful smile, "I'm just hungry, please Cang Cang, show me your skills, I'm just waiting to be fed~"
"Just take a rest, dinner will be served soon."
Lan Cang took the ingredients to the kitchen.
Sang Luo watched him skillfully handling the ingredients in front of the stove, cutting vegetables, chopping meat, taking the food out of the wok, heating oil... Just watching him, his mood became very good.
Being with a pleasing and handsome man, without having to do anything, is the ultimate enjoyment.
Lan Cang has indeed grown a lot taller, probably about 1 meters. Before, she could barely reach his shoulders, but now her height is only up to his chest. He can easily hold her in one hand.
Sang Luo walked over and hugged his thin waist from behind.
"Cangcang, I have something to tell you..."
