Gao Neng's Spiritual Power was being suppressed by some strange force, so he didn't notice the footsteps and movement behind him at all. The moment he heard the voice, his expression changed.
'I've been discovered?!'
'I get found out just for mining a little ore?'
Gao Neng was speechless. 'Isn't working overtime to mine a popular thing in this underground factory?'
Normally, this would be the time to run.
But Gao Neng wasn't normal. He quickly grabbed a handful of ore-rich soil, smeared it on his face, and then, while continuing to dig, calmly turned his head.
"Ah... Huh? Hello, Brother Dan!" Gao Neng recognized him the moment he turned around. It was the middle-aged man, Brother Dan, who had said he was going to rest earlier.
"Hm? Why are you still digging so late?" Brother Dan's brow furrowed. Gao Neng's face was covered in black ore dust, making his features unrecognizable. However, the fact that the man had recognized him at a glance made him lower his guard.
