The Game of Global Mining

Chun was quite confused and immediately switched to the Vine Clinic’s perspective.

Suddenly, he noticed the clinic was brightly lit, with large posters of mermaids holding cigarettes plastered all over the walls. Next to the medicine cabinet in the hall, several large boxes appeared with labels reading "Divine Throne Helen’s Xina Brand Anti-epidemic Cigarettes".

Holy Shit!?

Then, two church personnel at the clinic door were guiding a queued crowd to kneel before the Oak Guardian God statue in the center of the hall, recite a long prayer, and after several bows, receive medicine with a few cigarettes—seemed quite a hassle.

Looking at Sister Bai’s expression, she seemed quite unnatural!

As for the rest, the vine didn’t dare emerge from the ground crack—it was invisible.

Chun figured it out—the Ten Lords must have internally communicated, and Sariel intervened in Sister Bai’s activity, obviously trying to snatch faith through the mermaids?

But Sister Bai said that snatching faith requires secret techniques. Could such simple means like distributing cigarettes and posting posters really work?

Yet, Sister Bai’s secret technique had indeed been activated!

Chun stood stunned for a while, seemingly understanding that normally, the poor would come to receive medicine, bow, and thank the guardian god. But, with this special arrangement, the public couldn’t voice their complaints but inwardly cursed the guardian god—and due to the secret technique, the faith was transferred and the curse landed on me?!

Holy Shit!!

However, perhaps it’s not such a bad thing? I’m just a convict, and my Divine Domain isn’t serious—absorbing negative emotions might just be perfect! If I really absorbed a lot of thanks and positive energy, would this turn my Dancing Girl into an angel?

Alright, as long as there’s an external source of Spirit energy, I’ll happily accept it. Whether it snatches faith for the mermaids—well, if it does, all the better, since she’s her own god.

Then, Chun heard the rumbling sound of drilling outside the surrounding area.

Holy Shit, what’s going on now?

Could the Ten Lords have discovered the wonders of this clinic and sent people to investigate the earth veins? But I’ve absorbed it all!

Well, it’s good to eat clean without leaving any clues.

Thinking that the Ten Lords are so pervasive, Chun suddenly worried about his side of the competition—do the Ten Lords know? If they do, would they intervene?

In the first match, it can be confirmed there are no players on the opposing side. But if it’s the decisive match, with Ten Lord Michael intervening with various Divine Artifacts blasting everywhere—I can’t even imagine...

Chun thought of a backup method—to retract the vine spanning potentially kilometers between the clinic and Nabchuanxi’s apartment. This would give a big boost to Wisdom Spirit, which the alt account’s Soul Sharing could benefit from!

Indeed, in the first match, the opponent probably probed our basic Attributes for a basic understanding. If I suddenly surge in the decisive match and unleash Dragon Transformation Technique, dump all accumulated Misfortune...

Then, Chun switched his perspective back to his original self to see what Nabchuanxi had to say.

"Last night, in the Nightmare War, there were new developments—a Nightmare Dragon of baron level suddenly appeared, capturing some Nightmares. This caused great anger within the Nightmare Race, and they’re preparing to besiege this Nightmare Dragon tonight. After analyzing the intelligence, the family decided as follows: spread false information to mislead the Nightmare Race into thinking you’re involved with the Nightmare Dragon, luring them to attack you, and it’s your responsibility to heavily damage them!"

"Furthermore, during breakfast, I checked your condition and found you need hospital recuperation. Lady Sage agrees. Tonight, you’ll be moved out of the Guardian God’s Sealed Space to give the Nightmare Race a chance to attack you. The responsibility is great, the interest is great, and the preparations are complete—the final battle depends on this!"

Holy Shit!!!

What a mess of a situation! They think I’m involved with the Nightmare Dragon? They’re making me take the fall? They really don’t treat me as an outsider in this ’family’, do they?

But, I have no words—yes! They guessed right, I did raise it, I did it!

To exterminate a baron level, they’d need at least two baron levels, right? Maybe even a viscount? Holy Shit, with my physique...

Forget it, let’s worry about tonight’s affairs tonight—there’re still two games to be played now.

...

Chun switched back to the alt account again.

By this time, everyone had recovered from the earlier battle and began brewing tea on the spot, eating snacks, drinking, and eating meat—completely different from Chun’s imagined scenario of raging miners.

Holy Shit, what’s happening? Shouldn’t blaming teammates be the norm?

Chun still asked: "How did everyone feel about the battle just now?"

The two minotaurs drinking and eating meat instantly said, "Elder, you’re so tough and fast—we admire you!"

Uh, well, it’s Earth Flame after all...

Pava Landing said: "Guild Leader, the opponent is very strong. Two Griffin Beasts could pin down your two Void Winged Serpents, and many Angel Race skills weren’t used and held back. Of course, we also held back. This first battle was likely the opponent’s pressure test on our Mana, Physical Strength, Recovery Power, and such endurance while showcasing their air superiority. For the second battle, they should engage us in ground combat considering the forest and lake setting, perhaps even jungle combat, water combat."

Huh? Griffin Beasts? They must be big, but I can’t see them...

The two Divine Bulls became excited: "We were so anxious just now! We can’t wait for ground combat, and we aren’t afraid of water combat either!"

Water buffalos, right?

Chun found Pava Landing’s analysis very professional and asked: "So how should we handle the second battle?"

Pava Landing said: "They’re testing us, and we’re likewise testing them, but still, prioritize protecting our casters. After all, Angels fly, and their fast flying stabs are hard to fend off."

Uh...

Chun had to remind the two Divine Bulls: "Brothers, although it’s the ground combat you long for, remember your priority is still to protect the ladies."

"Rest assured, Elder!"

Medesia said: "Guild Leader, I’m still holding back and haven’t unleashed my hard moves. So the next battle will still trouble our two Brother Nius."

Bast said: "If they engage in water combat, it could hinder our mining, so we should protect us!"

Duodolin also said: "Exactly! We are immeasurably close to the Divine Stone and have already unearthed some minerals we’ve never seen before. Once the Divine Stone appears, we have the power to turn the tables!"

Aimee said: "In the first match, they didn’t bother with you guys at all. They probably thought you weren’t important. If in the second match we specifically protect you, it would instead suggest you’re very important, and you’ll still fail to mine. So, no protection! We are already short on two people for combat!"

Bast and Duodolin were left speechless!

Uh...

Chun thought as the guild leader, he had to make a statement! Speaking of which, as an Illusion Rune Mage, I have a major move too—summoning the water element Hydrahis! It’s a skill realized after taming Hydrahis with Mei last time (Chapter 462).

But once summoned, Mei would lack a helper on her side, making it tough! And the summoned Hydrahis would surely shrink...
