The Game of Global Mining

Chapter 605 454: Tea, Sugar, Tobacco, Beans

When the Black Cat quietly returned to town, as expected, the four of them were already slumped over the table, mumbling incoherently.

Mina said, "Master, very convenient for action!"

Very good! But, even though it's through the tavern roof, it's still under the Magic Mirror's eye. What if the Magic Mirror is particularly strong and can see through things?

To ensure nothing goes wrong, Chun decides to have Tom sneak directly into the tavern, right next to the target, landing at zero distance!

After all, even if someone suddenly glimpses a blurry cat, who would bother with a cat scavenging for leftovers?

Chun starts selecting the target: "Mina, which one is easy?"

Mina is stunned: "All are easy, and they all have very strange Spirit waves, a desire to enter. This is the first time I've encountered such a situation."

Well... Could it be that Hunter mentioned some secrets while drinking, asking them to welcome the Divine Descent?

Let's not waste time.

——System prompt: Warning! Your team, led by a High Tier Dragon Soul Nightmare, has entered "Old Tea's" dream space...

Chun is taken aback, this old man's name... not bad, better than Old Drunkard.

The scene switches, Chun appears in a large forest of dead branches, countless crows perch on the trees.

Then, the flock of crows takes flight!

Chun lets out a Whale Roar, Mina emits a puff of black smoke!

Then the crows gather, Chun rings a bell, a Giant Dragon swoops down to tear and bite, black light flashes!

——System prompt: Congratulations! You have obtained the Essence of Dreams "Crow Nightmare"!

Ha~~ This is what it's like to farm monsters repeatedly! Not only does it not feel boring, it actually becomes addictive.

At that moment, an elder emerges from a wooden hut in the forest, tears of excitement on his face: "It's the Sage! Wonderful!"

Was it planned all along?

Chun goes down to ask: "Sir, is this your tea garden?"

Old Tea laments: "It's the tea garden before bankruptcy! Let's not talk about the past, similar to young Hunter's experience. When drinking earlier, young Hunter told us to believe in hope; as long as we sleep after drinking, things will definitely be different! We know him, he's quite young and impulsive, the most depressed one. Yet, him urging us to believe in hope definitely indicates something good, especially when he seems different today. We choose to believe!"

With that, he takes out a pot of green sprouting dead wood: "Look, my dead tea tree has revived, consider this a gift for the Sage! After all these decades, I can finally sleep well. Go, Old Smoke Leaf and Old Cane are eagerly waiting!"

——System prompt: You have received the Essence of Dream Life "Hopeful Tea Tree" from Old Tea.

Holy shit! Another Essence of Life after Hunter's bean sprouts!

No need to ponder, what's being offered by the next two is obvious, I'm about to develop Tea, Smoke, Bean, and Sugar in the Divine Domain Space!

Chun says joyfully: "Sir, take a rest, remember to keep our matters confidential!"

The old man's figure starts to blur: "Of course, it's confidential..."

Chun remembers something: "Give me this nightmare tea garden!"

The old man smiles and disappears: "Of course..."

Mina excites: "Master, we must hurry!"

Eh, it's you who must hurry, all I can do is watch from the side.

——System prompt: Congratulations! Your team member Mina, the Dragon Soul Nightmare, successfully stole dreams from the dream space, significantly improving her strength. Team member Mei also gained substantial improvement, your Spirit gained training reward: Spirit +2...

Everything went smoothly, but collecting energy time plus dream stealing took half an hour!

Next up, continue.

No suspense, scenes are much the same, fulfilling Chun's desire for monster farming, acquiring two crow essences again, Old Smoke Leaf and Old Cane eagerly await with a gift of "Tobacco Pot" and "Cane Sprout", packaging tobacco garden and cane field. Although tempted to combine the four dream essences to see if it forms a Soul Artifact, if the commotion is too big, it might not be good. It's best to wait until we leave town.

Anyway, everything is done.

At this moment, the four are still sweetly asleep.

Thus, Chun must embark on a new journey, but afraid of being discovered by the Magic Mirror, dare not let his soul fly, so he needs the Black Cat to shrink Earth and send a ride, two kilometers out of town.

At this moment, Chun feels a bit reluctant to let go of the Black Cat, but he continues to remind it of the instructions: "Tom, remember?"

Tom, also somewhat melancholic, suddenly shakes his head and regrets: "Meow, meow, meow..."

Chun is taken aback: "You also want to go?"

Tom nods repeatedly: "Meow, meow!"

Holy shit! How can that be, considering the map's monster distribution, the area around Second-Ring Village has monsters at 50, 60 levels, along with various poisonous insects, it isn't suitable for a city street brawling cat to handle battlefield warfare!

Chun remembers something, still has to entrust it with a task: "No, no, Tom, I give you an important task, I have four dream spaces and four seeds, keeping them with me is of little use, I hope to immediately plant the dream spaces and seeds back with the body! Growing even a day earlier would greatly help me. I'll put these in your collar's Soul Artifact bag, you go back and meet up with Moore at the tavern, let him take you to Bronze City, then return to Bronze Flower residence, let her guide you to find me!"

Mina also said, "Feasible! There are 99 dancing girls there who count as very basic nightmares, they can handle the reception."

Tom was stunned for a moment, "Meow?"

Was what I said too complicated?

Chun had to repeat, "Go back to find Moss, return to the Bronze City, look for the Bronze Flower Tifa, and find me at the prison!"

Tom nodded four times, "Meow! Meow! Meow! Meow!"

Honestly, leaving such a big task to a meow-meow feels a bit abstract. But fortunately, I can contact Aileen at any time to know the situation over there.

Chun solemnly said, "Then Tom, go back."

"Meow!"

After speaking, Tom turned into a shadow and disappeared.

Uh... Holy Shit, it should have taken a carriage back, right? It can't just go back directly like that, can it? It's tens of kilometers away!

Suddenly, Chun found himself worried not only about his vast journey but also for the black cat.

Mei couldn't wait any longer, "Let's go!"

Thus, Chun and his group rode on the giant dragon, heading towards the Blue Grey Village a hundred kilometers away.

Under the soul perspective, this barren land had not just roaming wild creatures, but also various unknown energy mists and uncertain energy fluctuations. Mina also carefully tried to fly around the blank spaces.

In any case, Red Earth Town is far out of sight, so let's try combining the four pieces of Essence of Crow.

A flash of black light, and a crystal core was born:

——System prompt: Congratulations! You have successfully synthesized the soul artifact "Soul of the Crow King"!

——Soul of the Crow King: Holy Artifact-level gemstone, material, soul artifact, Spirit +4. Special skill: Summon Crow King.

Uh... Is that it? How long does the summoning last? What's the cooldown?

Holy Shit, the most annoying thing is this kind of vague equipment attribute. But, okay, after all, it's considered gaining another soldier, so it's worth being happy about.

But the "material" attribute caught Chun's attention. According to the inspiration felt at Weaver Jenny's place, if Essence of Dreams or soul artifacts are akin to the inspiration required to forge divine artifacts in the real world, then this material equals a sure chance at a divine artifact, right?

Then a divine artifact related to crows, Chun suddenly remembered the crows on Plague Island, at that time I imagined there might be something like a Crow King...

In the midst of his thoughts, Aileen's voice came from the mirror, "A message came from Bilenna, Sherry and the Elders of Southern Canyon Village are back from the city, accompanied by a retainer dispatched by the aristocratic families who signed the development contract at the party, a total of 76 people!"

Chun was amazed, "Such a quick action, this morning they were at the party, and now it's already in effect?"

Aileen laughed, "As long as it makes money, no one wants to be slow."

Chun remembered something, "It seems that Baron Bapeng's family only has the butler as a retainer, did their family come?"

Aileen said, "Their family didn't sign the contract."

Ah, right, in the video Zhou Qing provided, it was Baka, the vice president of Shangri-La, representing Bapeng, and he was knocked out by the Count. What exactly did he do to offend the Count?

Alright, then I can talk business with Mei.

"Mei, the Southern Canyon Village plans to develop the swamp forest mine, this thing needs the Fishman God to show up."

Mei laughed, "There's such a good thing, the Fishman God must show up, take action immediately!"

Just knew she was impatient! Very good, the Fishman showing up will definitely cause a worldwide sensation, then the attention of the Ten Lords will focus there.

Unconsciously, it was already midnight.

——System prompt: It is now April 21, midnight 0:00, Golden Continent time midday 12:00...

——System prompt: You received a daily salary of 100 Mining Coins as the Honorary Elder of Southern Canyon Village, and 200 Mining Coins as the second mate of the Black Iron Blade. The daily salary for the President of the Broken Bottle Commerce Association is currently 216 Mining Coins.

——Astrologer profession prompt: Your fortune today "Favorable for travel, favorable for mining". Today is Jupiter Day. Your "Chapter of Misfortune" today's set misfortunes are injury, labor, false accusations, hunger, severe imprisonment. You have accumulated 5 days of misfortune. The stronger the accumulated misfortune, the stronger the converted fortune.

...

Ah, a new day, looking at the Chapter of Misfortune again, yesterday it was still accumulating 7 days, earlier in the old woman's dream and the battle with Andariel used it all up, then time reversed back 5 days, it really was 5 days! Holy Shit, the legendary rebate?

Then I remembered giving Moore two divine artifacts, let's check his ranking.

Looking, no matter how many divine or soul artifacts I picked up, I'm unwaveringly at 11th place.

Midnight Moore—Pu! Really it was 12th place, squeezed that curry out!

But Chun was suddenly worried as well, with two divine artifacts Moore leapt to this rank, then with a whole body of divine artifacts, even if confined for a year, I'm afraid still 11th? Surely the Ten Lords would find something off about me...

In any case, first let this Moore also help divert the attention of the lords and consortiums. By the time the Ten Lords come around, my Tea Sugar Smoke Bean Divine Domain would also be complete—although still unsure if these have any combat power.

At this moment, the phone buzzed again, it was Zhou Qing: "Brother Chun, Moore jumped hundreds of places, suddenly at 12th rank!"
