The Game of Global Mining

Gabriel felt uneasy: "The pirates are kidnapping people, should we pull Chun back into the Sealed Space?"

Sariel immediately supported: "No! Pulling him back would make it seem like we’re scared! Look at Mei, she took that fly around on a parade and dug out the second-generation Pirate King!"

Gabriel said grumpily: "Mei just sent that fly to me because she was scared!"

Metatron sighed: "I’ve got a heavy task guarding against the Curry Evil God..."

Raphael said: "Alright, I’ll go play in Oak City with Sariel, and we can act immediately if anyone else tries to kidnap him. We’ll continue to kill them on the spot!"

Sariel sighed: "Fine, although I’m a bit busy..."

Raphael retorted grumpily: "You haven’t even found the whereabouts of the young dragon in the hospital yet. If you’re barking up the wrong tree, your busyness is pointless. You might as well come to Oak City Hospital and broaden your thinking."

Metatron laughed: "The only one we can count on is my Tifa. Once she finishes modifying that Black Box tracker, we’ll naturally find the Dragon Mother."

Sela reminded: "Everyone stop talking, the boss and Uriel are about to enter the Teleportation Area..."

...

Chun and his companions waited outside the classroom for a few minutes, listening to the non-stop thumping for quite some time. Vivian showed no sign of stopping, in fact, she seemed even more excited.

Alright, she needed to vent.

And even though the group was idling outside, this deep dream realm was indeed quite resistant, and the longer they stayed, the better it was for Xina and the seven Enchanting Demons, in terms of their initial-tier training.

Chun switched to an alternate account to check Earth Lotus’s progress. Not bad, the Tree Spirits were getting more enthusiastic, not even needing to knock, they just floated over in space bubbles on their own, reaching over 200 Tree Spirits. Yet there wasn’t a qualitative change reaching a Divine Domain at the 200 mark, so he had to wait, with hundreds more to go...

Then Chun switched back to the tent perspective.

Saw the system message — System alert: Izak is extremely exhausted and cannot maintain the Spirit World, you have exited the Meditation World.

Ah, lost connection! Izak dozed off directly.

At this moment, the five beauties couldn’t keep dancing, so they sat back down to drink and play cards. The two old men couldn’t drink anymore, so they started dancing instead!

Holy Shit, what an eyesore!

Meanwhile, it was still Pava Landing tirelessly teaching the two Mining Grandmasters.

Honestly! Chun could fully imagine, even if the two Grandmasters understood nothing now, as long as they won this fight, and successfully returned a thousand years later, with a thousand-year span ahead, how could they not understand? Think of the progress!

Watching the five mercenary women still partying, Chun could not help but feel a heartache! To be honest, though they were putting on a show for the gods above — assuming there really were gods watching —

But shouldn’t they be learning? Even if they were set in their ways, with no motivation to learn, they might as well give me five kids now, at least then I’d have five thousand-year-old big shots back home calling me dad —

The thought struck and Chun felt stunned! Feeling like he’s playing games for a month now, with no way to withdraw cash from the game bank, wild ideas increasing. Was this still the respectable retired officer from a month ago...

Chun still silently switched back to his main account to continue watching Vivian rage.

Finally, after over ten minutes, the dream realm gradually calmed down, and the hurricane in the classroom subsided.

Chun approached and knocked on the door: "My dear..."

The classroom door abruptly opened, and a disheveled Vivian rushed out and hugged Chun, sobbing: "My dear! In deep despair, you were the first person I thought of, but that bitch used my yearning to harm you..."

Chun consoled: "At that time, just trying to delay, I might have said some words against my will, don’t mind it."

Vivian cried and laughed: "I know! That’s exactly how one comes up with ideas! Come, take a look at this bitch..."

Everyone entered the room and gasped in amazement!

It was like a lump of white flesh wrapped in a white robe adorned with farts! Not much better off than fake Tifa crushed into a meat patty by a motorcycle wheel, but not dead.

Meanwhile, the classroom filled with white energy mist!

The goddess got excited: "This is her disintegrating nightmare energy, you eight, quickly absorb it!"

Xina and the seven Andariel cheerfully rushed in, Xina taking out a perfume bottle — no, now the bottle was as big as a pesticide spray can. The seven others, having no tools, simply took deep breaths.

Chun was very surprised: "Why is she white? All the nightmares I’ve seen are black."

The goddess said: "Actually, she should be a fallen Dream Angel. Or possibly a missing or defected Dream Angel over the past century. The angel trait allows her to operate during the day and evade most Nightmare detection arrays. However, people seldom sleep during the day, so her function differs from other Nightmares — in any case, how do you plan to handle her?"

Chun felt somewhat troubled. Initially thinking of silencing her, but she was sent on a mission to investigate. Her superiors likely know her whereabouts, and if she goes missing, Vivian’s situation remains perilous?

Then it’s Amy mode, kill the invading Andariel, let Witch Barbara’s remnant soul inherit the title and impersonate! But Barbara could impersonate because she understood internally, Vivian doesn’t?

Vivian said: "Let me do it! I’ve been reading books on nightmares lately, now this one shows up, knowing too many of my secrets, I can’t let her go, let me train her properly."

Chun was shocked: "This is a baron-level Nightmare, can you handle it?"

Vivian, looking at little Liya, sighed: "Actually, I once saw someone like you in this school back in the day, at that time she was in the genius class of the 987th term, graduating in four months. I, at that time, was in the 986th term’s support class, having already studied for a year."

Liya’s interest was piqued: "And then?"

Vivian sighed: "Then, the 988th term’s genius class student Fafnir graduated in 5 months, and I received notification from the support office to cease the help plan. Those two years were like a nightmare from my youth, I considered myself liberated and thus demanded graduation by ’Magic Power Reimbursement’! So, I became a Dancing Girl."

Liya was shocked: "You actually went through Magic Power Reimbursement? That’s used for punishing Mage offenders!"

Chun was a little puzzled: "What’s that?"

Vivian explained: "In simple terms, I overdraft all my magic power and imbue it into a small object, severing all connections with the Elemental Realm, ultimately becoming an ordinary person, but gaining some little advantage others don’t have, which allowed me to quickly switch to being a Dancing Girl. Of course, this reimbursement effect only works on mage apprentices with unstable foundations. For an established mage, it would be the harshest punishment."
