The Game of Global Mining

Chapter 577 426: The Irritable Priest

As soon as Chun went online, the couple was still in the middle of a pixelated mess.

Then Chun realized this room didn't seem to be a hotel. Judging by the barbell in the corner, it looked more like a gym.

Holy Shit, can't tell if this cripple is stingy or just efficient!

Mina laughed with a silvery tilt: "Master, you're here! They've been at it for 3 hours now!"

Whoa... this stamina is only second to my alt character!

Chun had to ask, "Did their meeting go smoothly?"

Mina said, "Very smoothly. The lady was dressed beautifully, completely different from how she looks in the store, and instantly captured the gentleman's heart. After chatting a bit, the lady started crying about how hard life is, being bullied by thugs, and then snuggled into the gentleman's arms. The gentleman flexed his muscles to show protection... and then they ended up at his place!"

How beautifully was she dressed?

Chun reduced the mosaic a bit to see the lady's radiant, blush-filled smile...

Holy Shit, she really is! Had I known she was this pretty, I wouldn't have played matchmaker. What a bargain for that cripple.

Chun was getting impatient: "How much longer are they gonna be?"

Mina sighed: "Just past midnight, and the lady is more energetic."

Midnight Spirit? They really are God and Demon? Could it be they'll battle until dawn? I'm gonna be too busy!

Mei laughed: "But I did gain something, look!"

A pink crystalline mist appeared in Mei's hand.

Chun felt the color was familiar: "What's this?"

Mina said, "It's Desire, I think."

Mei laughed: "It's Love Desires, gratitude! And quite intense too!"

Ah, Mei collecting Love Desires? Makes sense, she's a Guardian God. Collecting followers' desires is reasonable, even if they're not followers, but with these two 'Divine Gift Marriages' from the Water Race aquarium, even if they're not followers, they'd be grateful, right? So even if Mei is just a clone, she can still collect some from such close range. But—

Chun was conflicted: "Is this Essence of Dreams, soul artifact material?"

Mei said, "No idea, never tried it before."

Mina said: "Probably not as good as Essence of Dreams, which is a highly condensed product of obsession, or faith, although this is intense it's not to that level yet."

If Love Desires become essence, does it mean 'Fruit of Love' is about to be conceived?

Mei asked: "Can Mina eat this?"

Mina sweated: "Eating this might turn you into an Enchanting Demon, right?"

Mei snorted: "What's the difference? I can't tell the difference between God and Demon anyway!"

Uh...

To be honest, even though the Old Witch had confessed back then she had encountered the Demon Race during her plight, the task was to collect Dancing Girl souls to cultivate Enchanting Demons, or "Dream Charms." But Chun couldn't accept letting Mina become an Enchanting Demon, using demon-like methods for tasks.

Chun quickly said, "Let's not eat it! Since they're still busy, why don't we check out that grumpy priest?"

Mei laughed: "You guys go ahead, it's fun here. I'll stay and keep collecting! Contact me if needed."

What's fun here!?

Alright, since it's past midnight, those who should be asleep are, and no need for Mei's hypnosis.

So the Black Cat quietly crawled out the window and returned to the street.

Silver City's midnight was most brilliant, but for the strictly disciplined Church—truth be told, even for the Black Cat, it was a challenge to infiltrate!

Sure enough, once on the high walls of the Church, Chun could feel a layered web of energy from the Black Cat's vision, is it a barrier? The Black Cat was clearly sensitive to this energy web, as all its fur stood up.

Mina was also rather shocked: "We can't enter, or we'll be impacted."

Do we go through the sewers? But the barrier's above too!

Wait! With a successful matchmaking, Chun realized how a broad mind opens new horizons. We can't go in, but we can make him come out!

Have the Mermaid write a legitimate letter calling him out to discuss why he's grumpy! After all, this Priest is Moore's hidden task character, and if even the Ten Lords come to investigate—let them! They'll be doing me a favor, as I'm short on information.

——System Prompt: You've activated the Sea God's Personal Guard to contact the Mermaid...

It quickly connected, and the Mermaid said: "Still too early, not done yet!"

Chun sweated: "My Lord, that's not why. I really can't get into the Church, please write a letter to call him out."

The Mermaid was puzzled: "Isn't this a secret operation?"

Chun sighed: "Too secretive and we achieve nothing. Calling him out directly shows you're concerned about congregants, always at work, revealing that will make others admire you more!"

The Mermaid laughed: "Makes sense, but isn't calling him out in the middle of the night strange?"

Chun thought, forcibly finding a reason: "Maybe the priest has something embarrassing, less convenient by day? At night, it seems more serious and mysterious, preserving some privacy."

The Mermaid asked again: "What if he says nothing?"

True, there's a good chance he won't say anything, making it suspicious for the Guardian God.

Chun decided to go big or go home: "Then give him a task to arrange the wedding for that couple! That's what priests do!"

The Mermaid laughed heartily: "This sounds fun, I'll write it. No need for the Black Cat to come, I'll send someone specially."

"Alright, alright!"

The fate of this matter left Chun to enjoy the night view. Isn't this scenery better than watching pixels? And thinking about accomplishing such good deeds of beauty, isn't it nobler than watching pixels?

Soon, a hurried staff member came to the Church gate, handing a letter to the night guard. It was unmistakably a Water Race aquarium standard envelope.

Then urged: "Hurry, even if he's sleeping, wake him immediately, don't keep the Lord of the Divine Throne waiting!"

The guard immediately entered the Church.

Before long, a middle-aged priest, with messy hair and a puzzled, not-so-kind look, appeared swiftly, heading straight to the aquarium.

At a glance, he didn't seem easy to talk to.

Mina was shocked: "Master, this person is powerful, his spirit chaotic like a storm, far beyond my current capability to infiltrate!"

Holy Shit! Even after transforming into a dragon, a Middle Tier Nightmare is no good? What task did Moore pick up? Or did Moore clear the easy patients in the city, leaving only these tough ones?

But thinking even if Mina reaches High Tier, she may not be much stronger. That Beelzebub who tried to possess me was High Tier, and I killed it, right? Caution is necessary here.

The Black Cat followed him all the way to the aquarium. Turns out the aquarium also had a barrier, heavily guarded by the Ten Lords to keep an eye on the Mermaid, so even the Black Cat couldn't enter, had to wait for news.

Within minutes, the priest rushed out.

The Mermaid's annoyed voice came too: "This person, his acute temper simply makes talking impossible, he said nothing and kept asking what I wanted... forget it, I just told him to preside over the wedding!"

Ah, truly difficult to talk to!

However, seeing his direction, it didn't look like heading back to Church, could he be going to preside over the wedding now? That's catching them in the act, right?
