The Game of Global Mining

Chapter 615 464: It Must Be Alpha's Doing

Royal Command Center.

Ma Yinglong pulled another all-nighter, excitedly directing nearly one hundred thousand ordinary Chinese players from Black Iron City to gather at Southern Canyon Village. Cutting down trees, digging mountains, and filling the land, they are first building a direct road to the Southern Jungle. Perhaps there might be plans to dig a canal later, but even canal digging needs a road first.

Brother Tao was a bit uncomfortable watching: "Brother Long, this is an NPC-led project, and the NPCs only talk about manpower and shares. They haven't mentioned how many Mining Coins will go into the initial construction, yet you went ahead and paid out of pocket to get things done early. Hiring a player to build a road costs 200 bucks a day, with 100,000 people that's 20 million a day!"

Ma Yinglong laughed: "I'm planning to finish in three days! Is 60 million enough?"

Brother Tao sighed: "That's 60 million!"

Ma Yinglong laughed: "Back then, hiring a bunch of celebrities and internet influencers to advertise my web game cost about the same!"

Brother Tao sighed: "True, Brother Long is wealthy!"

Ma Yinglong sighed: "Ultimately, to stimulate the economy, the key is for the rich to spend money and get that money into the hands of the poor! But what do the poor have that the rich would buy? Virtually nothing! Now they do, it's this game!"

Brother Tao laughed and cried: "Indeed, indeed, Brother Long, you're noble, you're a saint!"

Ma Yinglong laughed: "Brother Tao, you can do it too!"

Brother Tao got anxious: "No no, I might at most treat the guys to some late-night snacks, keeping a late-night snack street going!"

At that moment, the Black Dragon God flew over the village carrying a Mermaid, then a golden light rain showered over the entire village!

The village players were delighted: "Holy Shit! Maximum load, physical strength limit, physical recovery, and disease resistance all enhanced!"

Ma Yinglong laughed: "As expected of the gods, this disease resistance is crucial."

Then a Golden Light Angel followed closely.

Ma Yinglong's smile froze: "What if I find these birdmen disgusting?"

Brother Tao sighed: "Just buy the game."

Ma Yinglong laughed and cried: "Then tell me, under what circumstances would they sell?"

Brother Tao laughed heartily: "When it's similar to when Genesis got messed up and shut down bankrupt!"

Ma Yinglong sighed: "They didn't sell back then either, rumor has it that there were results, so this game is actually built on the structure of Genesis."

Brother Tao laughed: "Great, back when we played Genesis, we were pros!"

Feng Xingcuo messaged: "Brother Long, that Tata War God from Curry is in the village!"

Ma Yinglong was stunned: "What the hell?"

Feng Xingcuo was surprised: "He must have received a mining mission, so the village didn't stop him!"

Ma Yinglong grumbled: "This thing entering the village is definitely up to no good, keep an eye on him, don't let him relieve himself wherever he pleases."

Feng Xingcuo was astonished again: "That thing he's carrying looks like a divine artifact!"

Brother Tao dismissed it: "So what if it's a divine artifact? We have Moore one rank above him!"

Ma Yinglong said solemnly: "One rank too few! Previously he was 12, Brother Chun was 11, making it seem like he's just a tiny bit weaker than Brother Chun, and the entire Curry region was so arrogant..."

Feng Xingcuo said: "The information is becoming more certain, Curry has already sent 100,000 people to Iron Flame Village to dig a canal, they've probably been at it for a week."

Ma Yinglong sneered: "Let them dig first, once they're done, we'll have finished building our road, and then we'll send a few thousand men over to fight!"

Brother Tao was delighted: "As expected of Brother Long, on battle day, our entire squad will teleport over to support!"

Ma Yinglong laughed: "No no, the roundtrip Teleportation Fee of 10,000 Mining Coins, I can't cover that."

"No worries, private transactions work just as well!"

...

Ten Lords Chat Group.

Sariel followed the Mermaid and Black Dragon a hundred kilometers away to the southern jungle, live streaming the grand spectacle along the way.

Watching the dense throng of Chinese players cutting trees and building roads below, Sariel was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "What is this Royal Team doing? I own 49% of this mine, Black Iron City shares 51%, the players don't even have a share, why are they so excited?"

Gabriel laughed: "How could you monopolize 49%? It's split among Silver City Church and all sorts of other entities."

Sariel laughed: "So my darling Helen just directly gave this share to the citizens of Black Iron City! Giving it to the citizens also boosts faith, giving it to these old lords is like feeding it to the dogs!"

Gabriel was stunned: "Surely, you don't give it to the citizens every time?"

Sariel laughed: "Of course not every time. Just give it the first time to make the citizens happy and provide faith."

Michael, however, was watching in amazement: "She's really not taking Divine Power seriously, is she, scattering it all over the city!"

Sariel chuckled: "My darling letting loose occasionally is perfectly reasonable, anyway, with two city Guardian Gods, there's no lack of faith!"

Gabriel laughed: "True, after all, she only replaced the previous Guardian God Pava Landing a dozen days ago, no experience being a great god, now's a good time to practice."

At this time, Raphael spoke up: "Gabriel, the official who just went to Blue Grey Village found a new situation, a pneumoconiosis patient named Broken Hoe dreamed of a Pharmacist wanting to discuss treating pneumoconiosis, but when he tried to see the Pharmacist's face clearly, the other person disappeared..."

Gabriel was suddenly startled: "So, was it a Pharmacist from my Oak City running over there?"

Raphael sighed: "Crow Master, Pharmacists have appeared, Pharmacists can also transmit messages through dreams—what do you think?"

Gabriel was stunned: "But I don't get it, why bother fighting for the market of a disease the rich won't get, and the poor can't afford?"

Raphael sighed: "I don't get it either."

Sariel laughed: "If you don't get it, just attribute it to Chun's head! Save you both the embarrassment of a power struggle."

Gabriel and Raphael grumbled: "Sariel, we're seriously discussing matters here!"

Michael said solemnly: "Don't underestimate it! If they truly crack this disease, they'll gain the support of miners worldwide, this medicine might be the key to grassroots support."

Gabriel suddenly realized: "So, did a great Nightmare from my Oak City want to become a god?"

Michael said: "Investigate it, I seriously suspect it's Alpha and Beta secretly operating. Last time their Evil God plan in Black Iron City and Silver City was ruined by Chun, they likely don't want to be in the same city as Chun anymore, so they probably aren't in Bronze City. It could only be Oak City or Gem City, or one person in each, just enough to work this out."

Raphael's eyebrows twitched: "Then why did they go through so much effort to destroy my Magic Mirror? Just to evade monitoring? But exposing the Crow Master this way seems very stupid?"

Michael said solemnly: "There's a strong possibility: Alpha and Beta's race is the Shadow Demon! They need it for growth!"

Gabriel furrowed his brows: "Makes sense, but I still feel there's something inexplicable about it."

Sariel sneered: "Feeling it's inexplicable is right, because Curry is just that kind of oddity!"
