Chapter 553 - 407: Smashing Up Bronze City
Metatron was anxious: "No matter what, what if there are technical devices on the airship? Sariel, just seize it!"
Michael said: "No way! Our identities are special. If we get involved personally, ordinary players will feel it’s unplayable. Sariel can send someone to get involved. If it really is a device, just pay for it."
"Understood."
...
At this time, at the Royal Headquarters.
Over a hundred thousand players are busy in the Southern Canyon Village, but all the group leaders are still puzzled, hectically busy with no sense of direction. Perhaps only the boss Ma Yinglong knows.
But no one questions Ma Yinglong. After all, even if he’s not reliable, the person who discovered the village’s alternate space secret early on is absolutely reliable. And because it’s a secret, no matter how much the groups blindly guess, they can’t reveal a word—mentioning his name would be revealing the secret!
At this moment, looking at the rapidly forming earthen dam, Ma Yinglong still felt a bit uneasy. Logically, whatever players in the China District do, Baka and Curry would certainly interfere, so why haven’t they come yet? Does it really mean, as White Turban Brother said, that their main force of over ten thousand people has been pulled to the Iron Flame Village to dig a canal?
If they are digging a canal, their profits would be unimaginable. The Southern Canyon Village wouldn’t even turn a profit without accounting for the expenses of mobilizing manpower...
At this moment, a team member reported: "Brother Long, Baka learned that we established a fishing group, so they established a fishing group too, monitoring the entire sea area!"
Ma Yinglong, not in a good mood, said: "As expected, Baka is indeed well-informed. I said, how could they not cause trouble? Notify all airborne forces that they can act if possible, and we’ll cover the losses. If they can avoid it, then avoid it; this isn’t about winning in the short term."
"Okay Brother Long."
Azure Sky Captain Cyan Peak messaged: "Brother Long, during Silver City’s grand pioneering activity, some players discovered a crashed airship occupied by a group of Lizardmen, 200 kilometers inland from the main city. The airship must have valuable equipment and goods; we want to leverage our super squad to seize it and hope Brother Long will dispatch the Silver Division brothers to handle the transport."
Ma Yinglong was shocked: "Your Silverlight Village always faces mob attacks, dare to leave the village?"
Cyan Peak sighed: "It’s precisely because of the tough situation that others think we won’t dare to leave the village, so we will! If they deploy people to besiege the village, then no one will fight us for the airship outdoors. If they don’t besiege the village, we won’t miss this opportunity."
Ma Yinglong laughed: "Kid, you’ve got guts! Then I’ll mobilize the entire Silver Division."
Cyan Peak laughed: "Actually, it’s not me who has guts, it’s Blade and Moon Embrace who couldn’t hold back, and Chang Liang also agreed."
"Alright!"
...
Chun woke up at midnight, woken by the system prompt tone.
——System prompt: It’s now 0:00 on April 20, Golden Continent time 12:00 noon...
——System prompt: You received a daily wage of 100 Mining Coins from the Honorary Elder of the Southern Canyon Village, and a daily wage of 200 Mining Coins as the second officer of the Black Iron Blade. The current daily salary of the Chamber of Commerce President is 231 Mining Coins.
——Astrologer profession prompt: Your today’s fortune is "suitable for travel, suitable for mining". Your one-week fortune accumulation skill has accumulated fortune for 3 days, today is Venus day. Your "Chapter of Misfortune" today’s settings are injuries, labor, being blamed, hunger, serious imprisonment. You have accumulated misfortune for 7 days. The stronger the misfortune accumulated, the stronger the good fortune transformed.
——System prompt: You have reached work time, be sure to prepare for work.
It’s another new day.
Holy Shit! The Chapter of Misfortune added hunger again! Very well, heaven assigns great responsibilities to us ~
Chun felt refreshed after his rest, but seeing the work message, he immediately felt displeased.
Even though the Dream Cake extended the hunger limit and restored Physical Strength, the overall effects of weakness and reduced Attributes didn’t recover, just like when he had the plague.
But his basic Attributes were thick enough to handle machine cleaning just fine.
Leaving the dark room, the foreman released a new task: "Your task now is to clean the No. 2 machine thoroughly. Remember, you can only use a rag..."
It’s truly tiresome!
At this moment, Mina also spoke: "Master, I have finished absorbing the Nightmare power, and I’m much stronger than before now."
Chun was delighted: "So quickly?"
Mina said: "After all, it was just a newly born Nightmare from a child’s consciousness."
With Mina done, Chun had even less desire to clean machines. He decided to make a move promptly, no need to wait until the game night and directly find the Bronze Flower for a solution.
"Aileen, take over for me; Mina and I are going to find the Bronze Flower."
Aileen sighed: "I can’t clean as meticulously as you can!"
Chun laughed: "What if I can’t finish the task? At most, I’ll just add another crime to my record."
Aileen sighed: "Alright, my dear, you must be careful and bring extra cake to eat outside."
So Mina once again used the spray cover, and this time, the spray was not just a glass dome but more like a glass rocket with wings, much faster in flight.
Leaving the factory, suddenly alarms blared throughout the city, explosions and detonations ringing out, accompanied by flashing fires and drifting smoke!
Holy Shit, what a surprise! Impersonating the Pirate King so quickly?
But, it seems these explosions are somewhat unimpressive? Worse than the fireworks of Kakaxian that exploded the sewer? Not sure if it’ll scare away the Black Cat, the priority remains.
Soon, Chun arrived under the tree where Black Cat was resting, and its Invisibility was still active!
Very good, truly deserving as a Mage pet, not frightened by this situation.
Chun possessed the Black Cat: "Tom, go find the Bronze Flower."
"Meow!"
The Black Cat set off again, and while crossing a fiery, smoky neighborhood, they suddenly discovered hundreds of players with red names being besieged by police cars.
Holy Shit, it turns out it was players who did this! Precisely the handiwork of the Ten Lords. It always feels like the Ten Lords are selling games while undermining their own interests...
Finally, the Black Cat arrived at Tifa’s residence. The butler meaningfully pointed to the basement for the invisible Black Cat.
Chun couldn’t help but respect the strength of this butler, who instantly detected the cunning Invisible Black Cat. If he went to other cities with mental illness treatments, it probably wouldn’t be this calm.
The Black Cat entered the basement, opening into an unimaginably large underground factory, even containing a model of a large ship.
Tifa, in her work uniform, was at a workbench rubbing her hands. A magical, glowing model part continuously changed in her hands.
"Meow!"
Tifa stopped casting and directly teleported into a dimly lit small room with the cat.
Tifa was amazed: "Mina grew so quickly!"
Mina said: "This is also due to following the master’s training in the morning, and thanks to the master’s cultivation last night."
Chun said: "Miss Tifa, I gained some information, in the Five Great Cities, there are patients with mental illnesses, ideal for Nightmare training grounds. I want to visit other cities first, wondering if Miss can think of a way."
Tifa was shocked: "You’re here too? Then who is that at the factory?"
Your reaction is really quick!
Chun said: "Actually, I obtained many Dancing Girls from the Dark Soul Witch, and I had them possess to control me."
Hmm, I initially planned to ask Tifa to modify their Magic Artifacts, so I just said it. After all, the Dark Soul Witch situation is something their City Beauties should know in their chats, as long as Aileen’s existence is kept absolutely confidential.
Tifa exclaimed: "Indeed, chosen by the previous Black Iron Guardian God as a candidate for the Blasphemer, capable of supporting so many souls. Although training here is safer and more intense, it might result in no understanding of real combat challenges and somewhat disrupt my learning. Your request is also good. I’ll think of a way, and you go back to the sewers with the Black Cat and listen to what the Slime Mage thinks—oh yes, just say I sent you to find her."
