The Game of Global Mining

Chapter 580 429: Return to Black Iron City

Although Chun thought Jiang would definitely be cheeky, he didn't expect him to be so ruthlessly cheeky!

He even poked the doll with his finger, resulting in an unknown liquid oozing out, scaring him into immediately retracting his hand and covering it up.

Great, scared this guy, adequately guarding against his nature!

Then, we progressed smoothly into the teleportation array, and the scene switched; outside, the sound of rain was incessant.

Huh? The rain from Southern Canyon Village reached Black Iron City and is still falling?

Then, the basket shook and there was the sound of a thud into the garbage bin.

Zhou Qing's text arrived: "Jiang threw the basket into the garbage bin, is that task complete?"

Chun knew Jiang's nature all too well; what humans can't hear, cat ears can. His group's footsteps have stopped, they're definitely hiding nearby watching! But the Black Cat is invisible and shrinks the earth; even if he records and replays frame by frame, he won't figure it out, right?

Chun was helpless: "It's done, thanks to President Jiang!"

Zhou Qing laughed: "Well, if you encounter difficulties in Bronze City, we'll figure something out anytime."

Thus the Black Cat leapt out, jumped over the high wall, and upon looking back, there Jiang's group was at the corner of the street and alley leaning against the wall, staring at the garbage bin.

Ugh... what are they looking at, especially in this misty night rain.

So now it's only to find Fafnir.

The Black Cat moved through the rain, shaking its fur nonstop, feeling slightly uncomfortable. But after all, going through the garbage bin, washing is healthier.

Arriving at Fafnir's mansion, the lights were out and people were quiet. She's sleeping!

At the same time, a barrier net enveloping the room made the Black Cat's fur stand on end again.

Should the Black Cat call out and wake her? It's inappropriate; it's impolite, and the steward is there too.

Right, there's the Black Flag Commerce Association channel!

First, greet her in the commerce channel; as a behind-the-scenes director, she might be able to hear.

— System prompt: You are in a soul detachment state and cannot use the commerce channel!

Holy shit?!

Really opened my eyes; first time knowing there's this restriction on the commerce channel? So, my state is like that of a ghost; this is also why the Black Flag Order couldn't add the guys from Evil Spirit Island to the commerce association?

But I just received news in Broken Bottle Commerce Association of Dark Remia and Ten Lords joining the commerce association! Can receive system messages but can't speak?

Besides, as the president, I can contact the Guardian God!

— System prompt: You are in a soul detachment state and cannot use commerce functions to contact the Guardian God!

Holy shit!

Seemingly necessary to develop a commerce order usable in the "World of the Dead." This was actually the initial goal on Evil Spirit Island.

As for now, Chun is helpless; still need to find Vivian. She's not strong; with my strength, I can chat with her in a dream. Even... what am I even thinking?!

So, the Black Cat headed to the Night Rose Tavern. The tavern is open all day, but Vivian would surely be off duty at midnight.

She was indeed not at the counter.

Just then, Chun heard a few people in the tavern chatting: "What's wrong with the Baron?"

"Don't know, but he lost a lot of weight in just one day."

"Hey, the boss lady goes to the Baron's mansion as soon as she's off, how far have they progressed?"

"You guys don't understand. As long as the Baron really kicks the bucket, the boss lady can profit even as a lover..."

Holy shit! Vivian is staying up all night looking after the fatty?

This... Chun felt uneasy all over; better go check.

The Black Cat arrived at the Baron's mansion; the dining room was brightly lit, the fatty — no, already slimmed down... this rapid weight loss and wrinkled skin state is hard to describe.

In front of him was a large table of suckling pig, roast chicken, cakes, various delicacies. Vivian sat nearby, cutting small pieces of cream cake, savoring it with great enjoyment. The fatty was drooling all over his bib but wouldn't take a bite.

Mei was astonished: "He's obviously extremely hungry, so why doesn't he eat?"

Although he looks ugly, although always unhappy with him, Chun truly admired him as a man: "He should be possessed by Mammon, but Mammon's two clones got destroyed, weakening him, giving him resistance; his tactic is probably trying to starve Mammon to death?"

Mei scoffed: "Impressive courage and determination, but the Demon started absorbing the host's energy, so he's like this, all skinny. Unless we go in and kill that Demon."

Mina said: "His spirit waves are very chaotic, actually in a semi-comatose state; I can possess him now, but can't guarantee defeating the Demon."

My spirit is too low to afford Time Freeze... The key is, once the battle begins, one is exposed to the Mammon family, must not let him have even the slightest escape chance!

So, only one way, chat with Vivian in the dream, see her attitude, or find out some of her little secrets?

"Mei, go hypnotize Vivian."

Mei hesitated for a moment: "She's not simple, you know. I'll give it a try."

So, Mei floated to Vivian's ear and began singing; Vivian nodded sleepily, but—she suddenly stabbed her own leg with a cake fork, waking up promptly, continuing to eat small slices of cake!

Holy shit! To such lengths for the fatty or to split the inheritance, she could do this?

Chun felt it wasn't her leg being stabbed, but his own heart.

Mei sighed: "She's not as lazy and weak as she looks, even has hidden magic power, not easy to deal with."

Chun was very helpless: "She really isn't simple, ate quite a bit of enchanted poison, I always wanted to find a chance to save her."

Now can't reach the two most familiar people, who to find?

Dark Remia? She's still out there with the brothers slaying monsters, right? But with Ten Lords beside, Ten Lords could use various divine artifacts to monitor and explore souls? She searches for Evil Gods, definitely explores souls, right?

So this risk is also inconvenient!

Suddenly, Chun thought of the Astrology Shop's old lady Barara!

Holy shit, I'm at the point of looking for the old lady?

Only to go, let her figure something out.

So, the Black Cat again turned to the Astrology Shop in Dark Alley District, surrounding doors and windows closed tightly. But this can't stump Santa Claus, nor the Black Cat, who jumped onto the roof and entered through the chimney.

Then heard the sound of regular calm breathing in the bedroom.

Mina said: "This is quite normal; normal people are a bit difficult but can still enter!"

"Then let's go in."

— System prompt: Your team, under the lead of Middle Tier Dragon Soul Nightmare Mina, entered Barara's consciousness space.

The scene changed, surrounding darkness.

This is the effect of entering a normal person. Previously, Mina just tried entering a normal person in the next cell upon advancing to Nightmare in prison; it was also like this.

Just wait.

Sure enough, in the dark, a planet-like object resembling one's own contract space floated over, that's a normal person's consciousness memory, enter.
