The Game of Global Mining

Chapter 552 - 407: Smashing Up Bronze City

If trivial matters count as information, Libnahi would be like the neighborhood auntie at the buzzing level. Anyway, this somewhat calmed Chun’s restless mood. Time to sleep, and wake up in the middle of the night for the night shift...

...

At this moment, Metatron, who slept until late in the morning, began a new day.

The first thing he did was check Chun’s surveillance footage, and immediately burst into laughter, posting in the chat group: "Everyone, look, I arranged this perfectly for Chun. He’s missed two meals and has gone offline now!"

Sariel chuckled: "Then his hunger level should be at 100%, right? Did he starve to death?"

Metatron was momentarily stunned: "He didn’t die! He came online in between and had a couple of sips of alcohol!"

Michael was surprised: "What kind of alcohol?"

"Old Bird Vodka!"

Michael was puzzled: "I’m currently managing the Starlight Tavern, and our store has that kind of alcohol too, but it doesn’t have that setting?"

Metatron was astonished: "Could it be the difference in storage duration?"

Sariel dismissively said: "Just keep assigning him the most exhausting tasks, that’s all."

Gabriel asked: "How is the plan we discussed about impersonating the Pirate King progressing?"

Metatron sighed: "It’s a bit troublesome interacting with the NPCs. I don’t want to wait any longer; perhaps we should send players to wreak some havoc and clear obstacles, just like when Black Iron City’s Divine Presence Curry Battle Team besieged the Count’s Mansion."

Michael said: "Sure, we can also create some red-name situations to get players jailed, hindering the Royal Family’s player growth in prison."

Metatron chuckled: "Butler, contact the peripheral teams."

Butler: "Alright, gentlemen, we’ll try to take action before noon."

Sela spoke: "Everyone, check out my ’Eye of Omniscience’ live stream. Chinese players from the Southern Canyon Village in Black Iron City are behaving strangely. They’re digging everywhere and piling up dirt walls at every canyon entrance. What’s going on?"

Everyone was stunned: "Take a look!"

At this moment, the scene in the Southern Canyon Village was grand, with nearly hundreds of thousands of players digging all over the mountains.

Butler said: "There are spies in the China District player group, and the most likely information they gathered is that the Black Dragon God discovered a treasure."

Michael said solemnly: "It’s also possible the Black Dragon God discovered a meteorite deposit."

Sela was amazed: "Then why are they building dirt walls everywhere?"

Michael frowned: "It could be to block other players from entering, or maybe it’s to use a bunch of fake projects to cover up the real project!"

Sela was taken aback: "Makes sense! Maybe I should ask the Goblin Priest for his perspective."

Michael nodded: "Good idea!"

Sariel laughed: "Honestly, let them search if they want. Anyway, the biggest village attack is incoming, and they won’t have the same luck as last time! Uriel, didn’t you complete the guild mission? When will it start?"

Uriel grumbled: "Our entire team can return to the city and start right away! But it’s a caravan, can’t return with an empty load, right? My team currently transported a large batch of herbs from Black Dragon City back to Black Dragon Fortress, which will take about ten hours or so."

Sariel chuckled: "It won’t take that long. When you reach a safe area, hand the convoy over to the NPC escort, then ’die’ and return."

Uriel laughed: "As expected of Sariel, you’re really crafty!"

Gabriel laughed and asked: "Did Uriel pull another all-nighter last night?"

Uriel sighed: "This week, I’ve averaged less than three hours of sleep a day, relying on medication to keep going. But after returning this time, Lost Paradise might allow Crystal Ore to be exported to Black Dragon City, and Earth Flame Village’s Crystal Ore is essential fuel for flights from Black Dragon City to the Void."

Michael said: "I know. That’s why, no matter what, we need to use inventory to wipe out the Southern Canyon Village this time, and all future Crystal Ore will be sold to Black Dragon City."

Uriel laughed: "Really looking forward to Black Dragon City flying to the Void to attack the Golden Divine Throne. But isn’t the Golden Divine Throne the boss’s home turf? Does this sound okay?"

Michael chuckled: "It’s fine. We coordinate with each other and quickly rise to high ranks by mutually gaining military exploits!"

Uriel laughed: "While also exhausting both the Empire and Hell’s forces!"

Everyone laughed: "Even the first-generation AI wouldn’t be able to crack this situation, right?"

At this moment, Sela also reached the underground goblin monster area.

Godomigo was extremely respectful: "Welcome, sir!"

Sela asked: "Last night a Black Dragon God lingered around the Southern Canyon Village for a long time. What do you think caused it?"

Godomigo responded with awe and panic: "Anything that attracts the Dragon Race must be a rare treasure!"

Sela felt further assured: "Don’t be afraid, in a day’s time, you’ll gain unimaginable power, possibly rivaling the Dragon God."

Godomigo was extremely excited: "Thank you, sir."

"Continue your preparations."

At this moment, the Ten Lords also felt completely at ease: "The boss was right; indeed, the Black Dragon discovered a meteorite deposit."

Michael smiled lightly: "Just let them continue celebrating for one more day."

Sariel suddenly got a surprise: "Silver City’s grand pioneering activity has made a discovery; they found a crashed airship in the wilds?"

Everyone was dumbfounded: "Who found it?"

Sariel frowned: "It was regular players, but the location is remote, and Silver City never had a related search mission."

Raphael was puzzled: "Such a far and remote location, it must be top secret, how could they possibly publicize it?"

Gabriel was surprised: "Is it a streamer seeking views?"

Sariel said solemnly: "It definitely gathered views, with 20 million plays since it went public. But I wonder if Alpha did this intentionally to divert our attention?"
