Despite facing challenges from bounty hunters, the team persevered and continued their search for janite. They encountered multiple battles, sustaining damage to their ship, but managed to survive. They discovered that the profit from mining standard gems was low, which was disappointing. Nevertheless, they remained determined to find janite, as it was a rare and valuable resource.
After numerous attempts, they finally found janite in a cave. They carefully extracted the gem and sent it off to be sold. The author reflects on the experience, stating that while the payout for janite was not substantial, the quest itself was incredibly enjoyable and provided a sense of purpose in the game. They express the hope that hand mining will become more profitable in the future, making it a more enticing gameplay option.

They faced obstacles such as bounty hunters and battles, but ultimately managed to find the gem and sell it. Although the profit was not significant, the experience of the quest itself was rewarding. The author hopes that hand mining will be made more profitable in the future.
