The Game of Global Mining

Chapter 551 - 406: A Quest Even Pro Players Can’t Solve

My soul artifact isn’t advanced enough to assess the opponent’s strength, so Moora took a gamble to intercept them. But as he got closer, the soul artifact went off the charts, making it impossible to determine their location!

Moora was too scared to move, and he was even regretting it so much that he almost wet himself! But maybe because it was daytime, or maybe the opponent didn’t want to make a move on the street, Moora decided to bravely escape, but he didn’t dare to run wildly for fear of exposing his weakness... But in the face of such overwhelming strength, would that even work? Ultimately, Moora still managed to run away smoothly!

Cold sweat all over! He came to his senses and wondered, the opponent is clearly strong, why didn’t they capture him? Or could it be that the opponent also had a soul artifact and was able to release a massive amount of energy to disguise themselves as very powerful?

Just then, a text message from Zhou Qing arrived...

At that moment, what shocked Moora was why Chun was asking him at this moment? Could it be that the Nightmare he just discovered was him? Did he find me out?

But how is that possible? The mental hospital in Oak City is the most developed for such treatments, that’s the only place capable of attracting a Nightmare to complete a transformation. Chun has never been to Oak City, how could he be a Nightmare? If he were, then when looking for the cheat in Gem City, he should have discovered my secret...

Of course, there’s also the line "no need to save," which somewhat made Moora, as a top professional player, feel a bit belittled. That feeling, it’s doubly uncomfortable!

However, life’s choices outweigh effort, just like choosing this undercover, instantly boosting my ranking, so... decision made!

Moora opened his mission list, took a photo with his phone, and sent it directly to Zhou Qing: "Sister Zhou, this is my mission secret, even Brother Tao doesn’t know, you forward it to Brother Chun."

This mission list is full of the crazies from the first three cities, but it doesn’t reveal that he is a Nightmare. Ordinary players wouldn’t understand even if they saw it. If Brother Chun really was the Nightmare just now, he should understand! If he understands, then he’s a guiding light, a senior! He can lead me to fly! Professional players are out to make money, and if you can earn without much effort, why not?

Zhou Qing indeed looked at it confused, immediately replying, "This, little Mo, if it’s a mission secret, shouldn’t it go through your boss’s approval?"

Moora was also quite anxious: "Actually, it’s just for Brother Chun to take a look. If Brother Chun doesn’t understand, then nothing happened."

Zhou Qing replied, "Alright, I’ll keep it secret for you."

"Thanks, Sister Zhou, and let Brother Chun keep it a secret too."

Zhou Qing laughed: "Don’t worry about Brother Chun, his secrecy level is national security level—only a few of us know his secrets..."

So not long after lying down, Chun received the message.

He got up and saw it was from Zhou Qing: "Brother Chun, just now Midnight Moora asked me to send you some mission screenshots, not sure if you can understand..."

Chun took a look, the screenshots were filled with mental patients!

Instantly understood! Nightmares either create mental illnesses or treat them, so Moora sent this image now—does it mean he suspects he encountered me just now?

Holy Shit, no wonder professional players have sharp instincts!

But being figured out so easily about his secret, this feeling is quite uncomfortable too! Perhaps he’s facing difficulties and hopes I can lend him a hand? How to help?

Chun was in a dilemma: "Is Moora in trouble?"

Zhou Qing replied, "I’m not too sure about their professional player matters, he bypassed their boss and sent it to us three. However, little Mo is under a lot of pressure, given his China District status, he’s not even in the top hundred rankings currently..."

His ranking hasn’t improved partly because he helped me investigate the cheat, delaying a few days...

Chun decided to leak a bit of information: "President Zhou, you can tell him that earlier I scored a hit in Gem City on a wicked Old Witch, actually Ten Lords Raphael who did it, and I just took advantage and picked up a Little Demon, not very strong. If his mission can’t be resolved, I’ll slowly think of a way. By the way, this is also my secret, just the three of us know!"

Yeah, just mention the Little Demon.

Zhou Qing was surprised: "As expected of Brother Chun, even a Demon can be picked up! I’ll just copy your exact words and reply to him."

Oh dear, will knowing this add two more dishes for me? It’s a bit overwhelming...

Zhou Qing quickly replied, "Little Mo said, Brother Chun, don’t be polite, first nurture the Demon!"

Exactly, first nurture the Demon!

This made Chun too restless to sleep, as even just on a slum kid he could get a cake shop, these mental patients on his list are either officers or nobles, what kind of harvest would that be? The Divine Domain can build up easily!

But this is in Silver City of Gem City, and I and Mina two souls can’t sit on a teleportation array, nor is it possible to fly that far, right? In the end, still have to ask Bronze Flower for help, she can directly teleport Black Cat over. Then go find her at night.

But, in the game night time means daytime for me, this time is hard to bear...

Chun then switched to a side account,

At this moment, Hua was placed in the dashboard cabinet, while the Ugly Emperor and Celia stood at the bow laughing into the Void. Holy Shit! Is Old Deng planning a Titanic romantic scene?

As for Gauss and Tifana, they weren’t in the driver’s seat, out of sight. Oh dear, not seeing Gauss, how to discuss the calculation of the infinite non-recurrence number of the Spirit of Nature with him?

Speaking of which, it’s been two days since I last contacted Libnahi, I don’t know what she’s up to now, or how that Beelzebub rookie is growing in the laundry room.

Chun flipped to the "Surveillance" page in Beelzebub’s Sealing Book, just seeing Libnahi busy in the Palace dining hall.

Chun had some helplessness, what exactly can her infiltration as a spy in the Golden Divine Throne accomplish?

Libnahi immediately responded: "Master! What are your orders?"

Chun asked: "Any new developments?"

Libnahi said: "There’s no major situation in the Golden Divine Throne, I’ve heard the First Sage hired the Starlight Tavern’s boss Celia to explore the Void, and he’s now managing the Starlight Tavern, currently hiring for shift managers with high salaries, our Palace Maid Chief who’s also on shifts is thinking of applying."

Holy Shit! Earth Mother handed the shop over to the First person? Earth Mother is confused...

Chun only asked: "How high is the high salary? Are you planning to apply?"

"It’s twice our Head Maid’s hourly wage at the Palace. As long as you agree, I’ll go."

Chun was a bit helpless: "Go ahead, earn more money, and also dig out some grassroots intel by the way."

"Okay, Master."

Libnahi added: "Additionally, the Beelzebub family encountered some unrest, if you’re interested, I can tell you."

Chun was naturally interested: "Tell me about it?"

"Recently the family lost two more members in the human world, all related to an adventurer called Chun, the family council is very angry and has made a secret bounty!"

Chun was truly stunned! So, when that supervisor on the phone mentioned giving me a new name "Baal Bobeelzebub" or something, it was actually to steady me? But he did mention some family members might be jealous and harm me... Anyway, that’s not the point!

Chun pretended to be calm and asked: "What do you mean by secret bounty?"

"It’s only known within the family, not to be spread, for fear of damaging the prestige of Beelzebub family."

That’s good, as long as the Ten Lords don’t find out, everything is fine.

Chun laughed: "But you told me, huh."

Libnahi smiled: "You are Master! Only telling Master the secrets fulfills my existence as a Demon Servant."

Uh... seems like it indeed makes sense?

Chun said: "Knowing makes me disinterested. How is that rookie growing?"

"He still needs some time to mature, but once he’s matured enough, arranging a suitable identity for him would be a bit of a problem, I might need to look for a weak guy for him to possess..."
