Fortunately, this ability is controlled by a rational person like me. Yun Xiao Yi smiled proudly. He originally thought that with his near-human excavator speed, he could complete the ground leveling work in a very short time. However, reality gave Yun Xiao Yi a profound lesson.
Even though he held two Shovels in his hands and processed a patch of soil every second, his hands were almost heating up and smoking from the rapid movements. After digging away just the top layer of soil, he had already spent over half an hour. Only Steve possessed an unyielding stamina; if it were anyone else, they would have long since collapsed from exhaustion under such intense labor that could even break an excavator's arm.
Fortunately, laying the stones was relatively much quicker. In reality, the operation was simpler and more relaxed compared to the game. In the game, one needed to click the mouse or tap with their fingers to place a Block, but in reality, Yun Xiao Yi only needed to move the rock into position. With just a thought, the stone would automatically slide out of his hand and land precisely where it was needed, almost instantaneously.
Moreover, in reality, the maximum distance for placing Blocks far exceeded what was set in the game. As his Level increased, the distance for placing Blocks could also grow step by step; with each level up, the distance would increase by one meter. Therefore, even though Yun Xiao Yi had only run around an open area once, he had nearly filled most of the ground with stones.
However, this was far from enough; in fact, he hadn’t even completely covered a small area. This was not merely a matter of insufficient quantity but also an issue of aesthetics. His backpack contained various types of rocks—granite, diorite, basalt, and andesite—each with unique patterns and textures. If he mixed these different types of stones indiscriminately while laying them down, it would look as chaotic as patching a clean piece of fabric randomly. Although functionally it wouldn’t be affected, the visual effect would be quite bothersome.
Yun Xiao Yi pursued beauty and was definitely not someone who would settle for anything less than perfect. Therefore, when choosing ground stones, he specifically selected homogeneous granite. This choice considered both the amount of Wood Stock available and the fact that previously mined materials in the underground quarry were primarily raw stone and granite. This indicated that granite resources were quite abundant around the Taihang Mountains and could fully meet long-term needs.
Granite has high hardness; under the technical conditions at the end of Eastern Han, it was difficult for non-professionals to break it down. When he discovered that his granite supply in his backpack was nearly exhausted, Yun Xiao Yi decided to go back underground to mine again while also gathering materials needed for future construction.
After opening his Workbench, he crafted ten sturdy iron picks from iron bars and wood. He also planned ahead by transferring all equipment, wood, Coal, and Iron Blocks stored in his personal space into storage boxes for safekeeping—except for necessary nuclear lights because the depths of the mine were extremely dark; without them, moving would be nearly impossible.
With ten iron picks, over ten Iron Shovels, and three sets of lights prepared, he embarked on another underground exploration journey. When encountering soil, he quickly removed it with his Iron Shovel; when hitting rock, he switched to his pickaxe to break through it—one hand wielding the pickaxe and the other holding the shovel—like a true warrior.
Of course, if his tools were replaced with a sickle and hammer instead, this professional image might resonate even more deeply with people. This time, Yun Xiao Yi chose a straight vertical digging method to enter the mine because he didn’t need to dig very deep; reaching the rock layer would suffice.
Due to the geographical structure influenced by the Taihang Mountain, the underground soil layer of Zhao Family Village is not very thick, measuring about ten meters. Below this depth, the soil does not directly contact rock but instead consists of a layer of extremely fine gravel. Unfortunately, this is not sand and cannot be melted down to produce glass materials.
Nevertheless, this gravel layer still holds value, as there is a certain probability of finding Flint while digging. Flint is not only essential for making fire-starting tools but also serves as an important component for arrows. While arrows themselves may seem insignificant, the focus lies on Flint. It would be even better if some obsidian could be found as well. This way, Yun Xiao Yi could attempt to construct a Nether Portal.
He was extremely curious about what the hell from "My World" would look like in reality. Indeed, the most important aspect is that many rare resources in the game can only be obtained from hell, such as Hell Warts, which are indispensable for potion-making.
Gravel and sand particles are among the few types in "My World" that are minimally affected by gravity and do not fall like Iron Ore. Therefore, considering his safety, Yun Xiao Yi did not dig straight down through the gravel layer; instead, he would place several rock blocks around him to stabilize the area after digging a section to prevent any gravel from collapsing.
Another piece of Flint! He happily placed the newly discovered Flint into his backpack. The appearance rate of Flint is low; on average, one piece can be found after digging through a dozen or so gravel pieces. However, this was sufficient for Yun Xiao Yi. After all, he was a time traveler from the late Eastern Han Dynasty and not an ancient human; fire was not scarce for him.
Thus, aside from being a tool to activate the Nether Portal, Flint held little significance for him. He chose to embrace the natural occurrence of finding Flint with joy and continued to delve deeper into the mining layers when he did not find any.
Unlike the thinner soil layers, this section of gravel was about one hundred meters thick. Although he was digging vertically downward, he did not simply dig haphazardly one block at a time; instead, he would finish one layer before expanding outwards and would first excavate a four-block space before going down to the next layer. This method was slower but more secure.
Along the way, he encountered underground water multiple times; however, due to a long period without rainfall, the water source only formed into a trickling stream. Faced with the underground water, Yun Xiao Yi temporarily blocked the flow with several rock pieces and then resumed his excavation.
With a loud clang as his metal tool struck against rock, crack!
He discovered the target granite, a piece of light pink stone that blended seamlessly with the surrounding environment.
Finally, it’s you!
Yun Xiao Yi excitedly rubbed his palms together and picked up his pickaxe to strike. The sound of the pickaxe colliding with the hard granite was exceptionally clear and melodious, echoing loudly in the confined space.
After finding the granite, Yun Xiao Yi paused his descent and began to extensively mine in the nearby area. The granite reserves here were quite abundant, and soon his backpack was filled to the brim, forming a massive cavernous space.
He quickly attached a Nuclear Torch for illumination.
Looking around, Yun Xiao Yi was astonished to find that he had only excavated a small portion of a vast granite deposit. This could be just a part of the Taihang Mountain, deeply buried underground.
However, even with his backpack full, Yun Xiao Yi had no intention of stopping. Given that the pickaxe had sufficient durability, he planned to exhaust all usable tools before returning to the surface.
