聚宝盆

At first, there was only you, a piece of ore, and a quiet Cornucopia.

You toss the ore inside. With a *clink*, the first gold coin pops out. You pick up another piece, then another, until you have enough coins to open the mine shaft leading underground.

Miners begin striking the veins of ore, while porters dash back and forth carrying the load. You can finally pause and watch as they feed a steady stream of ore into the Cornucopia. Yet, as the settlement bustles with life, new challenges arise: ore piles up on the surface waiting to be moved, and ore inside the basin queues up for processing. You recruit more helpers and upgrade their tools, gradually transforming the chaotic scene into a smooth, efficient production line.

Before long, the aroma of food wafts from the canteen, the docks teem with the day's catch, and furnaces smelt ore into more precious materials. The Cat God accepts your offerings, and cloud-gathering sprites take to the skies; the bounty from these diverse sources quietly supports one another. Where once there was only a single basin, the landscape is now alive with bustling activity.

When this journey has taken you far enough, you can set out once more, carrying blessings with you. As you drop that first piece of ore again, the familiar *clink* rings out—and this time, you know just how far it can take you.
