The Game of Global Mining

After finishing the barbecue lunch, Chun said his goodbyes. Actually, he just couldn’t stay calm being world number one; he was eager to go back and take a look.

Fan is pretty chill about it; as long as there’s a pretty classmate around, he doesn’t care about saying goodbye to his dad. Maybe the next time they return will be Children’s Day!

Arrived in the city at one in the afternoon, parked back in the neighborhood at two.

Then maybe call the guy to continue with the plan of getting picked up by the van?

During the day, it feels like there might be holes in the plan... Better call and check first: "President Zhou, I’m back at the neighborhood, would like to sneak back to the internet cafe without being detected, what’s the plan?"

Zhou Qing laughed: "Brother Chun really gets in the mood, huh? Still wearing the delivery outfit?"

"Yes!"

Zhou Qing chuckled: "If you want to go for extreme attention to detail, would you be interested in actually completing some deliveries?"

Chun nodded: "Sure, the original plan was to come back at night anyway."

Zhou Qing laughed: "Then Brother Chun should wait at the entrance of the neighborhood street; last night’s delivery van will come pick you up, and Brother Chun will deliver some goods to a few small shops along the way."

Ah!

Chun exclaimed: "Isn’t this mealtime service supposed to be for food delivery?"

Zhou Qing laughed: "It can also deliver goods, feed pets at home, unclog toilets, stand in as a driver, help express love or break up... besides writing homework for elementary schoolers, it’s basically just like doing miscellaneous tasks for game players."

Chun was stunned: "Is this company indeed opened by you, President Zhou?"

Zhou Qing laughed: "I just invested some shares."

So, he was the uncle after all?

Chun asked again: "President Zhou, how much did it cost hiring all these riders today? I’ll pay you back!"

Zhou Qing sighed deeply: "Hey, Brother Chun, saying so makes me disappointed. I thought our relationship didn’t involve talking about money..."

What kind of lines are these?

Chun panicked: "Okay, okay, we won’t talk about money! I’m setting off then."

"Alright, keep in touch."

So, last night’s van was ready; the driver wasn’t the same guy, probably the original owner.

The driver recognized Chun though: "You’re the newly appointed marketing chief, General Ding!"

Holy Shit, was I really arranged by the uncle? But I’m not called General Ding, yet this is good.

Chun asked: "You know me?"

The driver laughed: "The video has spread all over the group; everyone gets an extra 100 bonus! If it wasn’t only for riders and not van drivers, I would have gone too!"

Holy Shit! 100 per person, hundreds of people is tens of thousands, counting the running costs, this trip starts at 100,000!

Chun decided to play along: "Bro, you can record a video of me, continue spreading it in the group."

The driver laughed: "The chief personally delivering is also considered marketing, right?"

"It counts!"

During this time, Chun was listening to the driver chat away while learning about delivery, gaining a basic understanding of the industry, and somehow getting really into it.

No idea how, but suddenly it was 5:00 PM, and after finishing deliveries, they arrived at a seafood supermarket.

The driver smiled: "Last stop, deliver some fish to the internet cafe on the way."

Nice, Chun understood the arrangement; this supermarket is close to the internet cafe.

"No problem, leave it to me!"

"Okay then, goodbye President Ding!"

"Just call me Brother Ding!"

Chun went to pick up the goods at the supermarket when his phone rang; it was Zhou Qing: "Brother Chun, how are you feeling?"

Chun laughed: "I’m completely into the role now!"

Zhou Qing chuckled: "Alright, then head through the alley into the garage, then straight into the back kitchen."

"Got it!"

Soon, Chun’s phone rang again, he checked, holy shit, it was Jiang Moyu! What’s this vibe?

Chun answered: "President Jiang?"

Jiang Moyu laughed and asked: "Hey, Brother Chun, you went to deliver food?"

Chun was shocked: "How did you know?"

Jiang Moyu laughed: "With such a noise, I’m late in finding out! Shouldn’t you deliver dozens of orders for me?"

Chun retorted: "Do you really think I’m a regular rider? I’m an officer now, place an order on your own platform!"

Jiang Moyu laughed heartily: "Brother Chun lives up to his name, succeeding no matter the field! To be honest, I even had a hallucination thinking Brother Chun went to a mining game instead, seems I was overthinking."

Holy Shit!!

Chun sighed: "President Jiang, I’m busy, I need to go now, okay?"

Jiang Moyu laughed: "Alright, Brother Chun, take your time. I’ll order during mealtime from now on, as a way to support Brother Chun’s business."

"Then I thank President Jiang on behalf of the company!"

After hanging up, Chun was really pumped; Jiang Moyu may not have mixed into the national server top player circle, but he guessed that I might be playing the game... This indicates that I urgently need to acquire this delivery identity.

Then Chun entered the garage from the alley, returning to the internet cafe through the back door. Peeking toward the first floor lobby, with the helmet on, Great God’s signature roar seemed absent, feeling like the atmosphere today is a bit gloomy?

Arriving at the back kitchen, the guy was already waiting by the food cart: "Brother Chun, it’s meal delivery time! Would you like some wine?"

Chun laughed: "No wine!"

Chun ducked into the enclosed van once more, successfully returning to the private room.

The guy whispered with a smile: "Brother Chun can change out of the clothes, and by the way, I delivered the lunch punctually this morning, all details covered."

Chun was already hooked on this hiding-filled gameplay: "If only a delivery person comes in through the alley without going out, won’t it be a flaw?"

The guy laughed: "Don’t worry, before Brother Chun returned, I had a few delivery folks pass by, all went out through the front door. Brother Chun, you’ve worked hard this afternoon, eat first."

Chun finally relaxed: "Alright..."

Chun was not really focused on eating, getting online first to check.

—— System Message: Welcome to the game. It is now 5:36 AM in Golden Continent. You are resting in a five-star room at Emperor Hotel, your body has recovered well, your basic language ability is restored.

Sleeping in a five-star hotel, indeed thanks to Aileen, enjoying life!

Wait!

Chun discovered two people next to the bed, but his neck wasn’t flexible for turning; he could barely spot two beauties with his eyeballs!

Holy Shit? Could it be Libnahi? Chun immediately looked for system messages:

—— System Message: FBI Warning! You enjoyed a massage from two top service staff at Emperor Hotel...

Thankfully...

It’s just, while I’m away, my family is again causing chaos, this this...

Anyway, that’s not the main point.

Chun immediately checked the rankings, indeed, he was world number one! Checking the Dark Privilege Value, yesterday it was exactly 50,000, today it’s 52,000, increasing quite rapidly!

Switched to check his alternate account, still a black screen, but the storyline load countdown was down to only 4 hours.

Which is good, now Aileen and them seem to be sleeping, not disturbing them, he eats first. Can’t deny, after hustling outside all day, dinner feels especially delicious, especially when opening the page of the top ranking, it’s truly appetizing...
