The Game of Global Mining

Chapter 610 459: Magic Spring

The farmland is ready, the next step is to plant the seeds of hope. Chun is curious about the role of plants in the Dream Space.

So, the dancing girls simultaneously planted bean sprouts, tea seedlings, tobacco seedlings, and sugarcane seedlings in the four corresponding plots.

Then, various black mist and blood mist began to gather around these four seedlings in the Dream Space, forming a vortex. The seedlings grew at a visible speed and emitted a green light!

Eh!

Indeed, they absorb dark energy to grow! So based on theories like cow dung nurturing flowers and hope in desperate situations... maybe this is an energy conversion mechanism?

Aileen laughed: "It's quite interesting, it seems these dancing girls need not bother handling the dark energy, let's have them focus on their dance training instead."

Chun agreed: "Right, they have absorbed Andariel's consciousness energy, they need to digest it, or they'll be demonized by demon power."

"Yes, dear. If there's any progress with the seedlings, I'll show you anytime, right now I'm focusing on digesting the Mirror Demon's power."

Chun worried that distractions might affect her progress: "No need to check constantly, focus on digesting the Mirror Demon."

"Alright, dear."

With the rear secured, Chun felt no trepidation and no lingering concerns, his confidence grew, pushing forward bravely!

But Chun's blurred vision was worsening, he could only seek help: "Mei~~"

Mei smiled: "Got it!"

—Sea God's Personal Guard skill prompt: You've received the blessing power of Mermaid Helen!

The next moment, a ball of water enveloped Chun, as if he were a thirsty seedling, instantly nourished, his vision cleared, and through the water ball, he could see even farther.

However, though his vision was clear, Mina's fatigue remained unresolved.

"This, Mei~~"

Mei said: "You're the direct recipient of the blessing, it's easy to transmit blessings to you, but to affect others requires increased power, which is inconvenient for now, so wait a bit. I'm about to preside over the mining operations in Black Iron City, and then I can freely use divine power."

Ah, indeed. Previously, the mermaids were like prisoners, even communicating with Sea God's Personal Guard faced interference. Now, though her situation has improved, there's still no reason to freely unleash divine power. Heading to the southern jungle to mine would allow free use of divine power without detection!

Given such an opportunity... should I also make good use of it?

While pondering, Chun noticed a water light flickering in the distance!

Chun was surprised: "Mina, over there?"

Mina said: "Master, I can't see clearly!"

Mei was surprised: "Through the water ball, you can see some magic power sources related to water, call it a Magic Spring, might as well let Mina restore her spirit first."

Magic Spring!? Sounds high-end!

Chun looked toward that direction, already deviating from the second ring, heading to the third ring! But as long as recovery is possible, with upcoming mermaid divine power to secure, it's completely feasible.

"Mina, change direction, head to the Magic Spring for a break."

"Yes, master."

Mei added: "Actually, last time I played with Little Black Dragon at Iron Flame Village, there was a lake nearby with some magic power, indicating crystal ore at the bottom, which can be developed!"

Ah! But Iron Flame Village is already in the hands of the Consortium...

As they spoke, a wave of thick energy surged from the front.

Chun was startled: "Mina, fly high!"

Mina was shocked and soared into the air!

Then they saw this energy wave roll over the ground like a sandstorm.

Mei said: "The energy is dense, seems the Magic Spring ahead indeed has magic crystal ore."

Chun was amazed, so this could be a way to prospect for mines? The Soul Perspective indeed senses things invisible to normal vision. Perhaps the Earth Mother's "Earth Vein Perception" is based on similar principles?

Chun suddenly thought of something: "Wouldn't such a dense Magic Spring be guarded by strong monsters?"

Mei paused: "Ah, that's true!"

Holy Shit!

Mei laughed: "But it's okay, I'll unleash the Great Divine Power later!"

Alright then.

...

Inside Gem City.

Raphael received an anomaly report and headed to the monitoring center. Like Bronze City's entire city monitoring with mechanical puppets, Gem City obviously had a mage-specific magic mirror monitoring system, with magic mirrors of various sizes spread throughout the city and in the outer villages.

Compared to other cities, the magic mirror system was more advanced with broader monitoring range. So Gem City's control over surrounding satellite towns was far superior to other main cities.

But the biggest drawback was that such a high-tech system wasn't actually created by human mages, it was established with the support of demons! So Gem City was conflicted and didn't truly want every corner under the magic mirror's watch. Consequently, some underground forces received demon support and established another set of magic mirror monitoring systems, or perhaps many systems. Since after intelligent systems began automatic operations, many organizations exceeding original settings automatically emerged.

Although no major events had occurred, it still made Raphael uneasy. And now, an event related to magic mirrors actually happened!

At this moment, the monitoring official reported: "Sage Lord, Blue Grey Village just encountered an unknown Soul Crow attack, the magic mirror in Blue Grey Village was devoured!"

Raphael was incredulous: "Devoured?"

"Here's the whole process of Blue Grey Village's magic mirror battle."

Raphael watched the battle replay, utterly puzzled: "Have you analyzed anything?"

The official frowned: "I believe this Soul Crow lacks the strength to defeat the magic mirror, it must be covering a Shadow Demon, only the Shadow Demon can instantly sever the magic mirror's capabilities."

Raphael was even more puzzled: "Why choose Blue Grey Village? This village isn't wealthy?"

The official sweated: "Well, the monitoring department has already sent specialists to investigate."

Raphael had to share the monitoring video in the chat group: "Everyone, something very strange has happened, a Soul Crow teamed up with a Shadow Demon to take out one of my magic mirrors…"

Gabriel was stunned: "Such a huge crow, shattering it can still disperse into a flock, looks familiar!"

Michael wondered: "Crow Master from Oak City?"

Gabriel said seriously: "More accurately, a Druid."

Raphael wondered: "The Crow Master summons actual crow flocks, this is a Soul Crow, fighting in the Soul World!"

Sariel was puzzled: "What's going on? Is it that fly Chun's doing again?"

Metatron laughed: "Not impossible! Gather evidence, I'll sentence him another year!"

Sariel laughed: "Aren't you just going to fabricate evidence? Let's do it!"

Metatron laughed: "Fabricating evidence consumes privileges, Raphael, you do it!"

Raphael was anxious: "I'm being serious! Everyone, discuss seriously, please!!"

Gabriel said: "Alright, I'll contact the Crow Master and check things on their end, maybe he can investigate too."
