The Game of Global Mining-Chapter 288 - 259: Training the Boys to Break Through the Deadlock (Part 2)

When I was AFK in the Earth Flame Tribe gathering so many Crystal Stone Flowers, I only got stuck at Master level 2. Back then, I was thinking, to reach Grandmaster, do I need to find something 8 levels higher than Crystal Stone Flowers?

The Crystal Stone Flower is like a backstage pass given to me by a big shot. Dibilon gifting a Crystal Stone Flower made even the fake Angel Maria shiver. What could be 8 levels higher than something so high-end like the Crystal Stone Flower?

So, I've been on the wrong track! The key to becoming a Master of Collection is to gather living things! The Collection Technique is not the same as the Mining Technique!

Who would've thought that just a few words with Sherry could spark such inspiration...

Alright then, as she wished, I'll take a good rest. I don't expect to recover completely, just not be in such a miserable state.

Then take this quiet moment to think about the ongoing quest "Finding the Three Sheep Gods," this is the main thing.

As Aileen said, once it's completely drained, it can be sent back. Since the Magic Mirror has been upgraded and it's past midnight, Aileen should be able to drain it and let me return...

The "Dark Soul Witch" who's the scapegoat hasn't shown up yet! But after all, this is all my wishful thinking. It most likely won't appear—so who's going to take the blame?

At the thought that this quest could very well be "turning myself in," Chun's scalp tingled, utterly clueless...

——System Notification: Congratulations! You have shared the Rune Technique "Prettier" through Soul Link with your clone. Rune Technique has leveled up to Expert level 5, achievement gained: Mana +2, Life +2...

Prettier: Use natural forces to beautify your appearance.

...

Eh? Earth Lotus is sorted!

The name of this Rune Technique is just as rustic and simple as "Loosen Earth a Bit"!

Chun switches to his alt again, just in time to see the young cow enthusiastically talking to himself: "My Rune Technique is only Advanced, so I can only use Prettier. The real purpose of this Rune Technique is to change color like a chameleon to protect oneself. However, the materials needed to change color are expensive Seven-Colored Stones, which we don't have many of at the Mining Association. You can only buy them from the Main City..."

Holy Shit! A chameleon?

Chun couldn't help but ask personally: "But I have Invisibility, and some thieves have Stealth too, so why buy these expensive Seven-Colored Stones?"

The young cow paused: "Um... but looking good is never wrong!"

True, being handsome solves everything. Sherry relies on this to use Rune Skills to disguise her appearance and fool players, and Bilenna needs it even more to be a star. But if Sherry learns this, where to find Seven-Colored Stones for a makeover?

Chun asked: "Does it have to be Seven-Colored Stones? Can other materials be substituted?"

The young cow said in a deep voice: "Yes, for example, extracting from a chameleon. But there are some on the 6th level of Hell. The 5th level is the insect world, more chameleons eating insects. But I don't recommend you do that, no trade, no harm, and besides, the 5th level is actually more dangerous, even the Black Dragon God doesn't easily go there..."

Holy Shit, are you going eco-friendly too?

Chun suddenly thought of the octopus, isn't the octopus also magically adept at changing colors? Speaking of which, Sister Bai's grandfather, the Minister of Medicine, was specifically assisting Nancy in raising octopuses. It extracted the octopus's "Tissue Regeneration Ability," so it probably has the ability to extract pigments as well, right? As for octopuses, I have them on hand, the kind with a hundred years of power...

Chun immediately confirmed: "Can all animals that change color be used?"

The young cow said: "Yes, like I just said, no trade, no harm."

Chun said: "I'll think of other methods."

How about going back to the Main City to see if the President Sister has any connections for Seven-Colored Stones? So she won't say I look down on the family for not going to them with such difficult problems...

The young cow said: "That's all I have to say, I hope my service has satisfied you."

Although Chun didn't want to stay longer, he sincerely said: "Very satisfied, thank you very much!" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

So, the next step is to find the little rascals in the guild and have a talk, let them be prepared.

Chun then called out in the guild channel: "Scarface, I want to talk to all the little guys in the guild. Is there a convenient place to talk?"

Scarface immediately replied: "Lads, listen to the Elder's orders, assemble at the guild's big tent!"

Mooing filled the channel!

Alright, it's that alley from the other day, with several tents and dozens of strong cows piled in.

Scarface asked again: "Elder, the Grandmaster Mino appeared, and he's been to several other guilds. Shouldn't he have come to us first?"

Oh? Didn't realize this big black cow could be so sensitive?

Chun explained: "I don't know what the Grandmaster has planned, but he doesn't necessarily need to come to us. I'm responsible for arranging the guild, and the guild's future might be in the hands of these few lads..."

Scarface got excited: "Alright, listen to the Elder and the Grandmaster's plans. The rest should eat and sleep, don't ask questions. Elder will talk face-to-face later, don't talk about these things in the guild channel. Once these guys drink, they can't keep anything to themselves..."

Holy Shit! Not only sensitive but also quite meticulous, isn't he? This kind of personality won't play tricks, will it?

...

Chun entered the big tent, the lads were already excitedly waiting: "Moo~~~ greetings Elder!"

Chun solemnly spoke: "I want to train you guys specifically... so... understand?"

The young bulls excitedly cheered: "Understood, if we can't beat it, run away!"

Chun corrected again: "You definitely can't beat it! You must always be ready to run... Knowing your own weakness is in itself a rare skill..."

"Understood!"

Finally, the guidance is in place. Next, let's return to the Main City.

Wait! Chun suddenly realized he overlooked a big detail, I have 100,000 Mining Coins! And Uriel took all the players to the Black Dragon Territory, so will there still be players guarding outside the Main City's bank? As long as there's no one guarding, I'll exchange 50,000 first! After over ten days of the game, it's time to make some money.

"Earth Lotus, Shrinking Earth!"

"Yes, father."

...

Chun entered the city, looking around, eagerly expecting the President Sister to appear. But she didn't show up this time.

Holy Shit! It's troublesome if she doesn't appear. She always leads the way, and I don't even know where Azazel's Castle is!

Forget it, let's go to the bank first.

Arriving in front of the bank, Chun was thrilled to see no players guarding it!

Enter!

In front of the exchange window, Chun hesitated again. This is a city specially used by elite players, a special bank. Is the financial exchange channel here different from those in other Main City banks? If it's different and discovered, the consequences of exposure would be unimaginably terrifying! Not just exposing the in-game actions of pretending to be NPC...

No, can't take that risk! This is a foreign game, foreign banks have zero integrity.

At that moment, the bank clerk asked: "Sir, do you need loan services?"

Uh... is loaning something a science guy like me can play?

"No, thanks."

Resolute Chun still forced himself to leave the bank despite feeling reluctant.

And just then, the familiar sound of high heels echoed again!

Chun was shocked yet delighted. Delighted because the President Sister finally came! Shocked because, why did she appear just as I was leaving the bank?

The President Sister said: "Let's go back and chat!"

"Yes, ma'am!"

The scene changed, and Chun was back at Azazel's mansion.

The President Sister indeed asked: "Why did you go to the bank?"

Chun immediately replied: "Considering loan issues—"

Time to be honest, and don't hide the guild matters from her.

Chun continued: "I transported two loads of ores, then went to the Minotaur to perfect rune skills, and joined a guild. The guild is poor, so I was thinking about taking a loan... but in the end, I didn't..."
