The Game of Global Mining

Chapter 585 - 434: Divine Artifact Lighthouse, Grandmaster Construction Technique

As Mei began to fly in an elliptical trajectory, Chun, this humanoid 3D printer, also started moving bricks and stones non-stop. But the construction skill level still showed no increase.

Chun wasn’t in a hurry. He also had enough confidence in the Sea God. After all, it was just the beginning, like a house built crookedly from the start, the system might judge it as a shoddy building.

Then the outer walls continued to tilt, the inner stairs were also slanted, and the first layer was completed.

The second layer began, still adding crookedness on top of crookedness, with no increase in proficiency.

Until the third layer started, the construction clearly refined, Chun suddenly felt the energy flow of the Construction Technique was different, with a mysterious smoothness, and the construction skill proficiency started to soar!

Here it comes!

—— System Notification: Congratulations! Your Outstanding Wisdom has grasped the secrets of fluid motion, your Master-level Swimming Technique has been upgraded to level 2! Your Expert-level Artistic Swimming has been upgraded to level 2...

—— System Notification: Congratulations! Your Outstanding Wisdom has constructed a streamlined building, your Master-level Construction Technique has been upgraded to level 2...

...

Holy Shit!

Originally thought it was an upgrade for the Construction Technique, but it turned out to be the Swimming Technique and Artistic Swimming that leveled up first! This feels like when I was in the Trial Ground fighting a Little Demon for a hoe, unexpectedly upgrading the Fishing Technique!

Chun got even more excited, focusing all his efforts wholeheartedly!

The fourth layer, the building further refined and shaped, already clearly resembling a conch, more like a lump of "Alright" emoji, with the energy flow forming a clear spiral vortex shape, ... Master level 3, 4, ... Artistic Swimming Expert level 10!

The fifth layer!

—— System Notification: Your Outstanding Wisdom has grasped the secrets of energy vortex, your Master-level Purification Technique has been upgraded to level 5!

Holy Shit! Chun really didn’t expect it, just building a house, and the Purification Technique decided to join the party, even upgrading to level 5 in one go!

So as long as you grasp this so-called energy turbulence, everything related gets a huge boost, right?

The sixth layer!

Seemingly the final layer, just a skylight-sized opening left, at this layer, the energy flow was not as intense as the lower layers, seemingly gathering into a relatively calm dense cluster! But Chun’s Construction Technique, Swimming Technique, and Purification Technique proficiency were wildly scrolling!

However, Chun was fully focused, not daring to be distracted for a moment, not even having time to feel excited! Like a constipated person making the final push on the toilet, fearing a moment’s distraction would break the momentum, failing to produce a complete result and leaving a tormenting regret in the belly...

Finally, the last piece of brick was officially placed!

—— System Notification: Congratulations! You have grasped the secret of vortex, successfully constructing a super-streamline building, your Construction Technique has advanced to Grandmaster level! Achievement reward obtained: Vortex Mastery, Building Space Vortex Destruction Skill.

—— System Notification: Congratulations... Your Purification Technique has upgraded to Master level 10!

Completion!

Architect Grandmaster!! That’s right, such a spiral building encompassing the truths of heaven and earth, only the Mermaids could draw, it must be Grandmaster level!

As for everyone reaching Master level 10, maybe it’s because there wasn’t a real chance to swim or purify, so it’s a little lacking?

At this moment, Chun’s taut nerves finally truly relaxed. Looking at the time, it’s 4 AM game time, building this tower took roughly an hour. Speaking of which, the Baron has been in a deep sleep for almost an hour, what’s Vivian doing outside?

Mei’s laughter came: "Not finished yet, the lighthouse needs light!"

Chun snapped back to reality: "But we don’t have a facility specifically for placing a Crystal Core!"

Mei laughed: "Of course, the house needs some decoration, too. Just punch a small hole in the topmost layer’s brick and stuff the Crystal Core in there."

Ah, this is like a pen refill!

So Chun squeezed at the tip of the tower, poking several times with his fingers, but it was very sturdy, so he decided to try the newly comprehended Vortex Burst.

Chun gingerly activated it, a swirl gathered at his fingertip, this effect really resembled using the Purification Technique to charge up a vortex.

Chun worried about uncontrollably blowing away the entire top layer, decided to touch and withdraw quickly—several pieces of debris scattered.

Good, Chun poked over a dozen times, finally with a pop pierced through with a small opening, the airflow inside the tower formed a tight air pressure jetting out of the small opening. This? Very mysterious and sophisticated!

Chun took out the Crystal Core and plugged up the small opening.

The next moment, the energy swirl at the tip of the tower suddenly surged, resulting in an energy conduction wave throughout the entire tower!

—— System Notification: Congratulations! You’ve successfully elevated the super-streamline building to a Divine Artifact-level Dream Essence building "Conch Lighthouse", special skills: 1, greatly enhance your consciousness perception, 2, Conch Energy Storage. You’ve successfully upgraded to Divine Artifact building, gaining preliminary insights of Divine Craftsman Level Construction Technique.

Holy Shit!

Chun was shocked: "Mei, this is really a Divine Artifact-level building!"

Mei laughed heartily: "Of course, but there’s still a bit of difference from the defensive tower I imagined, probably because it needs the Conch Energy Storage. As long as enough energy is accumulated, this Crystal Core can launch attacks. It seems that human magic cannons also use Crystal Cores to launch."

However, what Chun cared about wasn’t this. Having painstakingly built a Divine Artifact, if it can’t be taken away and ends up with that fat Baron, it would be absolutely unbearable!

Chun attempted to take it away!

—— System Notification: Warning! Dream Essence overlaps with foreign Dream Space, unable to acquire directly.

Holy Shit, it still needs taking away the entire space.

Mei said: "Don’t rush, first see the effect of this Conch Energy Storage. Generally, once a monster has a Crystal Core, it’s not ordinary and will quicken energy absorption from its surroundings. Buildings are the same, with a Crystal Core they also accelerate ambient energy absorption and can help in compressing space."

Makes sense!

Chun immediately went out of the tower to see the effect, the effect wasn’t noticeable yet, but the light from the tower tip was indeed dazzling.

At the same time, I must say, on such a beach island, if it really were just an ordinary cylindrical lighthouse, it would indeed be the finishing touch, but building such a conch several stories high, from afar it looks like a lump of "Alright" emoji, quite hilarious indeed.

Or to say, since it’s funny, in the future, why not turn this place into a sea amusement park? But who would visit an amusement park in my own Dream Realm?

—— Lighthouse Notification: Sleepwalker spotted approaching!

Chun was suddenly startled: "Sleepwalker?! An invading Nightmare?"

Mei was caught off guard: "I don’t know!"

Holy Shit, what’s happening?

In the next moment, the sky shimmered, a familiar yet transparent figure floated down!

Chun couldn’t believe it: "Vivian!"

Vivian was shocked: "How is it you?!"
