The Game of Global Mining

Just then, the phone rang!

Without a word, Zhou Qing was stunned: "Brother Chun, what’s going on?"

Chun was somewhat helpless, but still smiled: "It’s nothing, it’s nothing, at least I helped Moore out of a bind!"

Zhou Qing was helpless: "Moore didn’t receive any notification about that, are you sure everything’s fine?"

Chun laughed: "I’ve already been to all the prisons in each city, what’s the matter? Might as well visit the Empire, isn’t that your old stomping grounds from back in the day?"

Zhou Qing said: "I don’t think we ever heard of the Supreme Prison back then, we’ll try to find the strategy guides from those days."

Chun laughed: "Actually, I just woke up from a nap, and I’m hungry again. Let’s not overdo dinner, and no alcohol."

Zhou Qing laughed: "Sure, I’ll send it over right away!"

As soon as the call ended, Chun’s own phone rang.

Chun’s heart skipped a beat, could this be Xiaoqin?

Sure enough!

Xiaoqin: "Chun, tomorrow’s the start of a three-day break for May Day, Fan wants to go to Disneyland, can you find the time? If you’re busy, it’s okay."

Chun sweat: "I’ll try to make time."

"Alright, have you eaten yet?"

"About to."

Suddenly, Chun’s heart trembled, is Disneyland part of the Ten Lords’ international assets?

"Can’t we skip Disneyland?"

Xiaoqin surprised: "Why?"

Chun hesitated: "I think it’s important to instill traditional cultural entertainment values in children from a young age..."

Xiaoqin smiled helplessly: "Come home and tell him yourself."

Chun even more helpless: "We’ll see."

"Alright, contact you later."

Looking at the black screen, unsure where the main account was transferring to, Chun finally made up his mind, the Demon Possession being exposed by the Ten Lords certainly broke his defense, but it was a good opportunity to lay all cards on the table, so let Aileen manage it. He would go home to spend time with his family. After all, possessed by a demon, he’d become an NPC, still a Initial Tier God, not lacking in intelligence.

So he needed to fully focus on the 7 o’clock final for the alternate account. He could also let Earth Lotus manage the alternate account. As long as he won, coming back from a thousand years in the future, perhaps this stretch could also help Earth Lotus ascend to the Flower God, also a Divine-level NPC, with flawless intelligence.

Switching to the alternate account, Chun saw all five spirits rejuvenated, all lying on top of him!

Oh man, I rested the whole afternoon, and they were busy all night!

Forget it, the little guy will send some food soon, let’s log off first.

...

Ten Lords Chat Group.

Champagne opened at breakfast, cheers filled the air.

Metatron sighed with relief: "Finally won’t have to deal with this jerk anymore."

Gabriel begrudgingly: "I died too early yesterday and missed the follow-up battles. Judging by his court appearance today, it seems like nothing happened?"

Sela sighed: "Woke up late, missed the action... Just, his -500,000 reputation is still reputation and can still be used for guild skills and bragging rights."

Gabriel laughed: "Then just find a way to replace him as guild leader and kick him out of the association?"

Sariel laughed: "No need to worry about these. It’s already meaningless. The Empire’s Supreme Prison can seal even gods. Once the boss finishes the game, there will be time to deal with him slowly."

Michael lamented: "Yes, Uriel, my Divine Hall bonus is maxed and I can enter the arena’s preparation zone, are you ready?"

Uriel felt awkward: "Mine is also maxed, but the guild leader is... you know, busy. Checked the preparation zone monitoring replay, he’s been... busy all night. Is it appropriate for me to go now?"

Sariel laughed: "Death match mode, maybe say a final farewell?"

Uriel grumbled: "I’m going to throw the match anyway, not interested in saying goodbye to a pile of trash about to be swept into the recycle bin. I’ll enter at the last minute. I’ll use the remaining time to search the streets for ancient opportunities..."

...

At 6:30 in the evening, Chun finished dinner and logged back in.

There’s still 1 hour before the alternate account restarts the game.

Does the Demon Race indulge themselves like this? Chun thought perhaps they should rest a bit, at least for an hour.

Earth Flame Pile Driver, back online!!!

This time the effect was better, a good two minutes and everyone was satisfied and fell asleep.

Then check on the main account’s status, still a pitch-black screen, not knowing where it’s reached.

Head back to the Divine Domain to have a look.

After an afternoon of absorption, the first layer of the Power of Nightmare is completely absorbed, and the ruins on the first layer further expanded into a more solid gobi-like terrain. The skyward root cage is noticeably thicker, indicating substantial nourishment and increased defense capabilities.

Good, going to the Empire prison, the key is to have the defense in place, to protect the core.

Having been startled by the court hearing earlier, didn’t have a chance to check system messages, and only now discovered all 140+ Dancing Girls have reached Middle Tier Nightmare.

Great! This is a qualitative leap in overall quality, not in combat power, but in elevating their status as believers!

Chun called out: "Dear, can you ascend to the Middle Tier God?"

Aileen said: "I feel ready, partly from constantly absorbing earth vein energy, and partly from receiving a lot of Divine Power from the Mermaid, plus the energy from the defeated Nightmare Legion. I just need to integrate it, but I’m worried once in the Empire prison, being discovered as a Two Tier God may not be good, so I’ve decided to stay at a critical point, not daring to ascend yet."

Liya said: "That’s my judgement based on my experience, best to stay hidden for now."

Chun agreed deeply: "Makes sense!"

Aileen continued: "The few noble captives have also regained their senses, all expressing willingness to surrender, I’m not sure what to make of it."

Chun got interested: "Let me take a look!"

A group arrived at the cabin, where the so-called high-ranking Nightmare was still in bad shape. Upon seeing Chun, it seemed clear-headed: "Master, you defeated the Lord of Nightmares, you are our new king!"

Holy Shit, a man of insight is a wise man...

If it were Vivian, she definitely wouldn’t trust them easily and would force a contract right away. But here, only Liya and fake Tifa might enforce a contract, sign one?

Chun asked Liya: "Want to contract one?"

Liya laughed: "Strength is mutual, and so is the Power of Contract. Ensuring the loyalty of a Demon Servant also consumes the host’s power, I need to fully recover, no interest in suppressing it."

Ah, I see! fake Tifa needs to grow more, doesn’t have the energy for this either.

The Nightmare was anxious: "Master, I’m willing to contract voluntarily, please let me offer my loyalty."

Forget it, ugly and wishful, dreaming of serving a goddess, you’re not worthy!

Chun laughed: "You should focus on recovering."

Aileen laughed: "By the way, dear, your Divine Domain’s dead trees have started to sprout new buds."

Chun took a look on the island, and indeed they had!

Checking the Divine Domain Attributes, there was indeed a new progress bar: Divine Domain Recovery Progress 1.537%!

Wow, this is the recovery result from noon till now? Good enough...
