The Game of Global Mining

Seeing the three students willing to borrow money to get involved, Hathaway also came to her senses: "Alright, I also represent my family to request a share!"

The official waved his hand, and immediately a large number of patrol officers stepped forward to apprehend the fallen leader and various thugs.

Then the official wiped the sweat off his chubby face: "Ladies, President, we have followed the security procedures and caught the criminals. Their ill-gotten gains will take time to tally..."

The three ladies were impatient: "Officer, just tell us if we can buy shares!"

The official promptly replied: "Yes, of course! But we need to follow procedures; this involves changing the legal entity and requires a meeting with other stakeholders, which we can’t help with!"

Chun was also impatient: "Are you delaying us because we are outsiders?"

The official quickly waved his hand: "No, no! Red Sand City doesn’t entertain idlers. The legal president of the Red Sand Commerce Association is incapacitated, so they’re considered useless and need replacement—however, you have to provide additional investment to ensure the replacement will succeed!"

Then he whispered: "In fact, I have a small share, and I really hope larger shareholders come to invest and expand the cake. I would gladly welcome the President and each of you ladies!"

Whoa~~ At first glance, I knew you were all in cahoots!

Chun asked: "How much investment is needed to expand the cake?"

The official held up one finger: "At least a million, of course. You know I just arrest people; the details must be handled by the Commerce Association. If you’re in a hurry, you should head there right away?"

A million? Are you kidding? Can you open a small shop in Shenjiang for that?

Chun hurried: "Let’s go then."

The official respectfully invited: "This way, please!"

Then Chun said to the four ladies: "I’m completely unfamiliar with the industries in this city; shall we pool together a hundred thousand for investment?"

Hathaway replied: "Alright, this place seems poor, let’s just play around for now."

The official turned around: "Ladies, don’t be fooled by our city’s appearance; the industry here is like sand gold! Though low efficiency, you’ll find various iron and nickel powders, crystal ore in the sand, which also brings income."

Chun replied grumpily: "We’ll talk about that after we’re officially in the shares."

The official smiled: "It’s just procedures, nothing more. If the procedures don’t go through, the Commerce Association will refund. Don’t worry."

Chun scoffed: "Refund? Won’t I just be playing for nothing?"

The official laughed: "Not for nothing, the police station will award you, distinguished ladies and gentlemen, a badge for punishing crime as a righteous citizen."

Holy Shit! Once their white gloves, now tossed aside...

A group arrived at the Commerce Association, where the office counters were covered in thick dust, attended by a plump lady snoozing away, starkly different from other Commerce Association’s glamorous receptionists.

Chun felt his eyes burn: "Is she up to it?"

The official hushed: "She’s the mayor’s sister."

Eh... The Empire’s decay...

Eventually, he knocked the desk to wake her and handle the business.

The process involved filling out forms and then providing capital.

True to his word, Chun transferred twenty thousand to each of the three ladies as a personal loan—wait! It suddenly dawned on Chun, wasn’t this the trigger for transferring money privately to an NPC? Back then, he exhausted himself to trigger it from Sherry!

Normally, encountering such an opportunity, Chun could cover them all, meaning sponsoring three fallen noble family ladies! Plus, they did have merits, knowing how to cuddle up for favor and flatter, sensing family survival crises!

However—

Forget it; let’s start a business with them. Encountering me is truly their family’s fortune.

Once the procedures completed—system prompt: Your team has submitted the Red Sand Gang’s shareholding investment application to the Red Sand City Commerce Association; please await approval...(Estimated 2 to 5 business days)

Alright then, either way, spent 800,000, still over 600,000 left!

With a taste of the sweetness in this city, Chun wanted to replicate it and asked: "Officer, are there any other city gangs that are disrespectful, ripe for sorting and easy for investment?"

The officer whispered: "In fact, such instances are prominent in a few Empire border cities, specifically Blood Sand City, Yellow Sand City, White Sand City, and Cold Sand City; other places aren’t much accessible."

Chun was eager: "Okay, my next stops are these four cities."

The official said: "Wait, we still have badge awarding!"

——system prompt: Your team has received the Red Sand City Crime Punishment Justice Badge, your reputation +20,000.

Haha... one for each!

Hathaway toyed with the badge with great excitement: "Though this thing’s poor craftsmanship looks like corner cutting, I’m quite pleased!"

The other three quickly pulled out their iPhones, "Show off our achievements in the group!"

Hathaway reminded: "About the shares, better not mention a word to any schoolmates for now."

"Understood!"

Libnahi remained indifferent: "I don’t need it."

The official was savvy: "Got it, got it..."

Chun laughed: "Let’s head out..."

...

Ten Lords Chat Group.

Samuel’s Demon Servant brought the city’s latest news: "Everyone, new updates!"

Simultaneously releasing the recording of the Demon Servant’s message.

Metatron was equally incredulous: "Wasn’t Chun supposed to be locked in the Empire’s maximum-security prison? How was he let out?"

Raphael was shocked: "The key point is, he’s sitting in a wheelchair to come and hunt you down?"

Sariel was thoroughly furious: "Of course, get rid of him!"

Sela was astonished: "The person pushing Chun’s wheelchair seems like the Palace Maid Chief, the woman called Libnahi whom the boss fancies! This, isn’t this too coincidental?"

Metatron was amazed: "His wheelchair has been modified! Two machine guns added, and one seems Divine Artifact-level!"

Sela sighed: "Notify the boss then."

Samuel said angrily: "No need to bother the boss; I’m not that bored. As long as I’m not appearing, he can’t hunt me down."

Everyone was clamoring: "So, are you backing down?"

Samuel nonchalantly: "The opponent’s insults are merely a ploy to lure me out. I don’t care what ways they use, whether it’s the Head Maid, the modified wheelchair, or baiting attempts; I simply need to hide for three days to erase the wanted tag, no need to risk appearances."

Sariel was heart-wrenched: "But we’ll be mocked by the China District!"

Samuel snorted: "Has China District released any mocking videos?"

Sela was dumbfounded: "Seems like there really haven’t been any!"

Samuel stated: "Thus, I’m just notifying everyone about this situation."

Sela sighed: "What if he seizes the chance to develop a plotline in the Old World?"

Samuel snorted: "He’s an Empire felon; nobody would indulge him to develop any plotline. But I will track his movements."
