The Game of Global Mining-Chapter 302 - 266: Mother of Fertility, Grandmaster Breakthrough (Part 2)

Holy Shit, I'm down with it!

Chun asked again, "Has Mr. Minotaur not returned yet?"

"Yes, it's not just about talking, with the boss's respected status, the gang must invite him for drinks..."

So that's it.

Chun then said to Earth Lotus, "It's all up to you now!"

"Got it, father, when I'm fully prepared, I'll break through to Divine-level with all my might!"

Chun certainly knew that this so-called full strength breakthrough meant absorbing all the divine artifact materials completely! This really was a one-time chance, missing it would mean not knowing how long until finding such high-quality materials again.

In any case, time to switch to the main account.

...

Black Iron City Night Rose Harbor Bar.

After Vivian went through the backdoor for a while, she finally came back to the front, and the Peeping Immortal waiting anxiously was nearly going crazy.

Under the full surveillance setup of the Divine Presence Corps, Chun's whereabouts were not found in any street or dock. So there were only two possibilities: one is just like on the first day of the server opening, continuing to sneak away via a secret passage. Two is lodging at the tavern! Thinking of Chun getting drunk, and remembering his lipstick stains on his face at Southern Canyon Village, and thinking about Vivian's barmaid persona, and how long she was gone for...

The Peeping Immortal was heartbroken and couldn't wait to step forward to ask, "Miss Vivian—"

Vivian smiled faintly, "What would you like to drink?"

Even though the Peeping Immortal was in no mood for procedural dialogue, going through the procedure meant he was not significant enough!

"Can I have a cocktail prepared by you personally?"

Vivian lazily said, "Right now is when most people are at work, I'm also working like this, what is the Vice President doing here?"

The Peeping Immortal was full of resentment, "I have the latest gossip news, I want Miss Vivian to take a look—while having a cocktail."

Vivian immediately became interested, "Let me have a look!"

With a snap of her fingers, a bartender nearby started preparing the cocktail.

The Peeping Immortal felt even more resentful! The news article was about Chun's various matchmaking with the village belle White at Southern Canyon Village, along with pictures of his face covered in lipstick stains. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

This was also a bold attempt by Peeping. Such news involving players, players could buy newspapers to read them, but usually wouldn't. After all, there are forums and video sites offline, and the newspapers in the game are only for NPCs to read, which is the most basic artificial intelligence reading function.

So, what reaction would she have when she saw this draft? If she was angry, it would mean Chun's weight was very high in her mind...

Vivian was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, "Not bad, not bad, it would be interesting if it's published!"

The Peeping Immortal was stunned, "Does Miss mean it can be published?"

Vivian laughed and said, "I only review your news drafts related to the Baron, the rest is none of my business."

The Peeping Immortal was at a loss; her attitude was completely unlike a normal woman? At least it showed that Chun's position with her wasn't at that level.

This somewhat comforted the Peeping Immortal a little. As for publishing, it's definitely not possible, otherwise it would expose the journalist as a hidden profession, a normal newspaper wouldn't write about players.

At this moment, Vivian asked again, "Vice President, your chamber of commerce has also invested in North Port Fishing Village, haven't you noticed anything strange?"

The Peeping Immortal was instantly alert, "Miss, what are you referring to?"

"Isn't that village head bad-tempered? Doesn't he hit people?"

The Peeping Immortal immediately asked, "Indeed, he is bad-tempered and hit people, but our chamber of commerce is very busy in the city and hasn't gone to the village, he hit the previous resident team. Miss, what exactly is the problem with this village head?"

Vivian frowned, "Being a part of the investing chamber of commerce and yet not managing the village?"

The Peeping Immortal immediately asked, "Besides catching low-grade fish, what else can the village manage?"

Vivian laughed, "Then let me test the Vice President, how would you develop this village if you were to manage it?"

The Peeping Immortal clearly felt a triggered event and cautiously replied, "The only advantage of the village is being built at the river mouth entering the sea, so it should develop river transport and cargo transshipment."

Vivian sighed, "Although that's true, it's very troublesome. The only potential partner is the upstream Iron Flame Village, but that village is built near a volcano and is a bit far from the river. Iron Flame Village has always wanted the city lords to fund a canal, but the city lords suggested they move the village to the riverside, and they couldn't agree, which also led to North Port Fishing Village having no opportunity..." (Note: mentioned in Chapter 186)

The Peeping Immortal was shocked, "Is that so?"

Vivian scoffed, "Doubt my intelligence? Drink up and get to work..."

The Peeping Immortal drank it all in one go, "Thank you for the information, Miss!"

This information was immensely important!

The Peeping Immortal immediately reported to the Young Master, "Young Master, got important intel from Vivian at the bar... If this matter is related to Iron Flame Village, our progress there will see a significant breakthrough."

The Young Master immediately called the Warrior Captain, "Sakamaru! Go back to the village and ask the villagers about this canal construction matter immediately!"

"Sakamaru received!"

Although the Divine Presence Corps Warrior Corps had already reached inland Iron Flame Village for a few days, they had died too many times in the canyon village's monster siege, resulting in low levels and weak power, not earning the villagers' trust. Apart from normally purchasing medicine and repairing weapons and equipment, no events were triggered, let alone becoming a resident team.

Then the next day, the Warrior Corps would participate in the siege of Southern Canyon Village, fully prepared to drop a few levels again. After solving this matter, it would be unknown how many days it would take to level up again to meet the task standards upon returning to Iron Flame Village!

Now everything relied on this intel!

Sure enough, Sakamaru excitedly replied, "Report to the Young Master, the village chief finally talked to me! This is indeed the biggest hassle in the village, the village chief said if we have a way to dig a canal leading to the Black Iron River, he would let us reside in the village and open up various equipment..."

The Young Master, in excitement, was immediately troubled, "How can we solve this matter?"

Sakamaru, without hesitation, "We can still hire a large number of external players to bring their own food and come to dig!"

The Young Master frowned, "How many tens of thousands would that require? How many days? The key is how to keep it confidential?"

Sakamaru said, "Still better to hire Tata Battle Team, this benefits their village too, wait until the siege is over..."

The Young Master seemed to be running out of patience, "From now on, secretly expand recruitment, stay on standby in Black Iron City and don't obtain any information, then operate in two batches, first attack the village as cannon fodder, then go to Iron Flame Village to work hard labor..."

"Understood!"

...

At 9 PM, game time 9 AM.

Chun was piloting the Black Flag Blade far around North Port Fishing Village, entering the northern coastal zone.

At this time, ships and various fishing boats on the route were already out of sight, nice! Observing the shore, it was a piece of dense bushes and low woods. The map marked it as swamp wetlands.

It indeed fit the Fishmen's amphibious survival characteristics; swamp wetlands were the home ground for Fishmen. As long as they went ashore and retreated, no matter how powerful the warship, it would be helpless against Fishmen.

Chun had a strong suspicion that the super Fishman Boss might be in the wetland forest, indeed troublesome.

At this moment, the radar in the cockpit sounded an alarm—detected SSS+ level Sea Monster approaching!

Chun's heart skipped a beat, but judging from the direction, he knew it was Old Whale, not nearby Fishmen.

Then looking at the Old Drunkard, he was still lying on the deck snoring in a drunken stupor with smoke coming out of his nose!

Holy Shit! Wasn't he supposed to wake up if something happened? Forget it, it's actually better if he doesn't wake up, the fewer people who know about my relationship with Old Whale the better.

As expected, a pillar of water shot into the sky, it was Old Whale!

Old Whale let out a whale hum, "I'll go sweep them away first!"

With just this hum, the distant sea suddenly erupted with thousands upon thousands of splashing waves, tens of thousands of Fishmen swarmed out of the water and fled into the woods on the shore, even many significantly larger Fishmen ran ashore!

The radar in the cockpit alarmed again—all over—detected S+ level Sea Monsters appear!

Holy Shit! Even the Boss-level ran away, the spectacular sight was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep!

However, Old Whale can go ashore!

As expected, Old Whale accelerated suddenly, charging at the shore like a landing craft, then discoing on the beach!!
