The Game of Global Mining

Chapter 538 - 397: Delivered to the Bronze Flower Residence

Just as Chun was surprised by the black cat’s sleek and distinctive aura, Zhou Qing’s text message came through, with a current photo of the black cat attached: "Brother Chun, it’s washed. How is it?"

Chun wanted to hear the China District players’ opinions: "Very good! Actually, the Mage went to jail because he was worried about this cat. He hoped the black cat could find a good owner. I also hope the owner is as high-class as possible. Do you think there might be a high-end Mage in the city interested in this cat?"

Hmm, directly to the point. Just missing mentioning the Bronze Flower. If it doesn’t work, I can control the black cat to jump to her house to try, though its unknown origin makes it a bit risky. If she blasts it or triggers some Defense Array, it’ll be terrible.

Zhou Qing understood immediately: "It seems the Bronze Flower doesn’t have any pets, and the city’s Mage is of her high grade. Why not send the cat to the Bronze Flower’s mansion?"

Chun got excited: "Is it possible? She is so high-class?"

Zhou Qing laughed: "I’ll go ask. So what if she’s high-class? Brother Chun even touched the Gem Flower’s butt; what isn’t possible?"

Holy Shit! Everyone, including NPCs, knows I touched the butt...

Chun felt embarrassed: "That’s true. If the Bronze Flower gets happy with the cat and releases that Mage, I also get a benefit."

Zhou Qing laughed: "So don’t miss this chance. Brother Chun, wait for the news."

Great, Chun was eager to see how the China District’s strength can maneuver a black cat to gain the City Beauty’s attention.

Next moment, several female players in the salon suddenly paused their actions.

Evidently, news from the team arrived, and they were discussing in the group chat and such.

Finally, a female player named with extra food brought out three fish sticks in front of the black cat: "Kitty, answer the question; how many fish are here? A single meow indicates one, two meows indicate two..."

Holy Shit, a circus mode? The question is, would the cat understand if I wasn’t possessing it?

The black cat meowed three times in a row.

The female players were in an uproar!

Chun was stunned: "Mina, was it you meowing?"

Mina was also shocked: "It wasn’t me!"

Holy Shit, turns out this black cat was smart all along! Truly spirit communicated.

The extra food player added another fish: "How many now?"

"Meow meow meow meow!"

The extra food player rejoiced, adding yet another: "How many?"

The black cat impatiently stretched out its paw with five!

Wow!!

Not only were the female players surprised, but Chun was also stunned. I wasn’t controlling it!

Then they did subtraction, and it was all correct!

The extra food player was overjoyed, setting out a bunch of fruits, jars, and started playing identification: "Kitty, bring the square bottle over."

The black cat impatiently pressed a paw on the square bottle!

Holy Shit!! I really didn’t control it.

Oh well, considering it’s a game, there’s no need to be shocked treating it as a cat. Just consider it an NPC.

Finally, after various test fusses, the female players started rewarding the black cat with fish treats while sitting at the table, cutting and tailoring various materials.

Chun felt gratified. They’re learning tailoring. Cutting cloth is cutting, and cutting hair is cutting, too. Seems those two skills are interchangeable.

After ten minutes, the female players tailored out a set of cat bowties, a cat top hat, a cat waistcoat, and added a copper wire-made glasses frame. Holy Shit!

Chun never imagined a cat could look so handsome! Mysterious and elegant, with shiny fur, exuding nobility; what female Mage wouldn’t love it?

After a joyous chatter from the female players, they packed the black cat into a bag, everything black to the eyes, seemingly set off.

Great, Chun was eager to see their connections.

Soon, the doorbell rang, and a very polite voice answered the door: "Ladies, what brings you here?"

The extra food player said: "Greetings, Mr. Butler. We have an important matter for the boss, Baron of Modern."

"Ladies, please come in. The young master just finished dinner and is practicing swordsmanship. Please wait in the living room for a moment."

Only then did Chun understand; turns out the salon is owned by a noble baron, their connection is the baron! Fafnir also mentioned, every store in Black Iron City is either noble property or passed down with ancestral merit. It seems it’s not as difficult for players to connect to the upper-class route as imagined, just work hard at a small shop, and there’s a chance.

Then opening the bag, releasing the black cat, right ahead was a scene of vibrant colorful extravagance! This baron’s hall was no different in decoration from the salon.

Then the style was over-the-top vibrant and colorful, like a circus clown, a butler brought a tray of colorful glass cups: "Ladies, please have some tea."

Holy Shit, cyber aristocratic style, it really is pretty cool!

The butler only then noticed there was a cat: "Ah, Mr. Cat or Ms. Cat?"

The female players laughed: "No bell!"

Eh? Looks like, confirmed it was removed! This cat life...

The butler laughed: "So cool, I’ll have to prepare something for Baron Cat..."

Soon, the butler brought back a cup of milk placed on the coffee table. The black cat smelled the milk and instantly lost control!

Holy Shit, how’s this any different from a wild cat?

Chun and Mina instantly reacted, forcibly restraining, regardless of whether the black cat understood: "Be elegant!"

Thus, forcibly controlling the black cat to adjust its bowtie with its paw, and slowly licked.

The butler exclaimed joyfully, "What an interesting Sir Cat!"

The additional food saw the butler’s happiness and immediately explained his purpose, "Butler sir, this cat can not only understand human speech but also do arithmetic and recognize objects, it’s very intelligent! We know the boss has always admired Miss Tifa, and if you give this cat to her, you’ll surely win her favor!"

Holy shit!

The butler exclaimed joyfully, "I see, I’ll call the young master right away."

The butler hurriedly left, and the next moment, a flamboyant hairstyle of all colors burst out!

Although Chun had guessed this noble style, just for this, you want to compete with me for the City Beauty? Ridiculous!

All female players stood up and bowed, "Hello, Baron of Modern!"

Chun also forcibly made the Black Cat stand up and bent its front paw in salute, "Meow!"

The Baron of Modern was delighted at the sight, "Oh~~~ so cool!"

Another round of intelligence testing ensued, and the Baron couldn’t hide his joy, impatiently packing the cat into a luxury bag, "Butler, prepare the car!"

All female players cheered in unison, "Good luck, boss!"

The boss exclaimed excitedly, "If Miss Tifa is happy, I’ll give you a promotion and a raise!"

Following was the rumbling of the motor, the vibration, the sound of car music...

Chun was also very nervous and excited!

Then a text message arrived from Zhou Qing, "Brother Chun, I’ve arranged through a noble Baron to have the cat sent to the City Beauty’s residence, whether it has an effect depends on what happens next."

It has to work!

"I’m not really in a hurry, thanks for everyone’s hard work."

"Alright, take your time, Brother Chun..."

Finally, the car stopped, and Chun felt the tense steps outside.

An elegant and calm voice came, "I’m sorry, Baron of Modern, Miss is busy with her research and is not seeing any guests, please leave!"

Holy shit, as expected, this flashy hairball can’t enter the City Beauty’s eye? While it’s a good thing, it’s not a good thing now!

The Baron of Modern got anxious, "Butler sir, this is a very intelligent and elegant Black Cat, it understands human speech and can do arithmetic, Miss will surely like it!"

Chun quickly cooperated with a meow in the bag.

The butler solemnly said, "Miss doesn’t keep pets, especially cats as they might destroy instruments and tear up drawings, which would trouble Miss greatly, please leave."

Ah!

The Baron of Modern sighed in extreme frustration, "Then, Butler sir, when will Miss come to my shop for a haircut? I’ve designed a brand new hairstyle for her..."

My great plan failed, and I still have to listen to your nonsense about this flashy hairstyle?

Chun couldn’t stand it anymore, "Mina, we’ll rush out, and sneak into the City Beauty’s residence like a mouse hiding. The butler is very powerful, be careful not to get caught."

"Understood!"

So, taking advantage of the butler’s impatience while sending away guests, the Black Cat shot out!

The Baron only managed to be shocked, but the butler was extraordinary, reaching out to grab immediately!

This grab might be at the peak combat level of the Bronze City! But Chun had Mina prepare beforehand, and Mina performed a "Cat Dance" mid-air spin... dodged it!

The butler was about to make another move, but the Baron yelled anxiously, "Don’t hurt it—"

Perhaps missing the grab made the butler pause, or perhaps the Baron’s anxious pleading had an effect, but the butler hesitated, and for a cat, that was all it needed!

The Black Cat bolted into the room, dashed straight to the second floor to find a place to hide first.

Downstairs, Modern’s defense was faintly heard, "Butler sir, don’t worry, this is a very elegant and well-mannered cat..."

Alright, anyway, this boss did a good job. Benefits will be given back to him, and as a token of gratitude, the few female players will also be promoted and given raises.

Actually, this state is also good now, really becoming the Bronze Flower’s pet would have subsequent troubles difficult to resolve, I and Mina can’t possibly stay possessed forever, once we leave, wouldn’t this Black Cat be exposed! And with the current status, the Baron’s backing, it’s technically not a stray cat, can’t just clear it as a stray, right?

So, freedom can be handled in this state.

Amidst his thoughts, Chun saw a gigantic light sphere appear in the cat’s view.

And the Black Cat seemed uncontrollably drawn to the light sphere.

Chun was surprised, "What’s this?"

Mina said, "Magic Power reaction! It should be coming from the Bronze Flower. Black Cat has a natural sense for Magic Power."

Alright, this also counts as directly seeing the Bronze Flower in one go.

Then, ahead a red light flashed—system prompt: Warning! Black Cat senses magic energy reaction, must not trigger!

Chun was shocked, "Indeed, there’s a defense array!"

Mina, however, said, "Don’t worry! Black Cat can see! It will instinctively avoid it."

Ah, indeed! Although the Black Cat was fast, it deftly avoided all the red light energy clusters with the skill of an obstacle avoiding master. This is also not an ordinary Black Cat, it’s a 16-year-old cat left behind by the previous mage, it’s already a spirit!

Finally, the Black Cat reached a tightly closed door on the second floor! Holy shit?

The Black Cat meowed!

A soft sigh came from the room, "Interesting..."
