Those words were enough for Lin Fang to be tempted to work hard to mine the elemental crystals. At the moment, the thing he desires the most is power. It doesn't matter how he gets it. Since he doesn't have enough money to boost his monster companions' levels, he had to make it up with the weapons.
He glanced deeper into the crystal vein, hand already tightening on his pickaxe to work himself to death, but Alpha's voice came firm and measured in his mind.
"Don't even think about it. It's almost dawn outside. You won't finish this job even if you work nonstop for a week. Just go back and rest. While your body might be resting, your mind isn't. If you don't let it recover, you won't think straight tomorrow."
Lin Fang exhaled through his nose, half-frustrated but half-accepting. "You're starting to sound like a strict teacher, Alpha."
"If you're acting like a reckless student, I'll have to become a strict teacher to guide you properly…" it replied dryly.
