The Game of Global Mining-Chapter 308 - 269: The Arrival of a Formidable Rival
Although Chun didn’t know how to use this high-tech machine, the moment he touched it, his Mechanician skill automatically started its progress bar.
— System prompt: Congratulations! Your Master-level Mechanician successfully operated the cutter machine to produce a rough emerald, your Mechanician proficiency has improved, and your Advanced gemstone processing has upgraded to level 2...
Holy Shit! One raw stone earned me a level up and even boosted my Mechanician proficiency!
In his surprise, Chun glanced at the old man and found him fully absorbed under the light, meticulously disassembling the baseplate of a seat, revealing the fiery red Crystal Core inside,
Alright, judging by his posture, this isn’t a "wait for a moment" kind of thing. Chun didn’t disturb him, taking the chance to upgrade his skills. How could he not seize this opportunity to rush to an Expert level?
...
Hell’s 7th layer.
Uriel suspended the Black Dragon Fortress’s commercial mission, letting the stockholders and two Grandmasters continue to stick to the task, while he himself led the player team back to Lost Paradise.
Ever since the task of abducting the dragon egg by the Black Hand Organization was completed a few days ago, the rewards for the commerce mission in Black Dragon Fortress became quite abundant. But even so, as the vice president, Uriel ensured the commerce mission’s "purity," allowing no players to join, disliking how these young master and miss players would drag down his ambitious goals for the commerce mission.
Consequently, these young master players, like forced workers pulling aggro, couldn’t gain any experience reputation—it’s somewhat unfair.
So now, let them go to the War God Hall to take positions; controlling the Boss while idle would earn them experience.
Uriel had gained enough harvest, so he wasn’t concerned about the War God Hall’s experience; naturally, he had to check what had happened in the Main City these past few days during his absence.
For example, there’s inventory of Mineral Crystal exchanging for an apartment happening, obviously done by the president. It needs checking. Mainly to assess the president’s intelligence level.
Uriel flew first to Forbidden Fruit Street No. 118 to view the house, furrowing his brows as this area was Bitch Street.
Upon entering the apartment, gold and blue luxury welcomed him, yet it couldn’t compare with any of his mansions. It’s pure Bitch’s vulgar extravagance—huh?
Uriel discovered the light from the Crystal chandelier was too exaggerated, so he flew up to the ceiling to appraise it closely—System prompt: You identified a counterfeit Crystal glass fixture.
It’s fake goods!!
Uriel shocked, checked the golden-red carpet downstairs—System prompt: You identified a counterfeit Nightmare fur Rock Beast fur carpet.
Still fake goods!
Inspecting the furniture—System prompt: You identified a counterfeit Dragon Bone made with Giant Rock Lizard’s bone.
Fake!
Then knocked on the wall—System prompt: You identified a counterfeit Golden Fire Jade made from Yellow Talc.
Uriel was both amused and at a loss, as the entire house, from construction materials to furniture to decorations, was all fake! Is the president a fool? Yet, despite this, the apartment somehow provided a 10% attribute bonus, which is quite unbelievable.
Leaving the apartment, Uriel flew to the commerce headquarters and met the Black Dragon Envoy Attistutaya Popona.
Popona rose warmly to greet him with a bow: "Vice president, you’ve worked hard. I heard of your outstanding achievements at the fortress and gratitude for finding my brother missing for a hundred years."
Uriel remembered her initial arrogance and indolence, laughing surprisingly: "It’s just what I’m supposed to do as vice president. It’s thanks to the Special Envoy who recommended me. Without the Special Envoy, such contributions couldn’t be mentioned."
Popona laughed more joyously: "You do speak well! Anything important to discuss?"
Uriel asked: "Where is the president? Haven’t seen him for quite a while. I’m a bit nostalgic."
Popona laughed: "The president isn’t in town now. Earlier returned twice from Earth Flame Tribe’s mineral shipment, now out again."
Uriel continued: "The commerce completed a mineral crystal for house business, can I know who handled the exchange?"
Popona answered: "Even I’m unclear about this deal. They say the original homeowner is an Enchanting Demon, unsure if indebted to gambling or lost a noble’s treasure, claimed to sell the house. Finally, minerals were traded to Tears of Heaven commerce—anyway, the selling news came from Shoe Angel, he is clear about it."
Uriel was a bit muddled, Tears of Heaven! The Lucifer family of Fallen Angels, isn’t that his family’s commerce? No, he isn’t of Lucifer’s family, just the same race. Lucifer’s set is arrogance; not any Fallen Angel can join his family.
Due to arrogance, communicating with Lucifer’s family is extremely difficult! Won’t be able to investigate further?
Uriel managed to say: "Thank you, Special Envoy. Haven’t seen Shoe Angel for a while; I’ll go chat."
"Vice president, take care!"
Uriel flew to Shoe Angel’s shoe store, seeing a group of Enchanting Demons sitting around drinking tea teasing with bare legs. While Shoe Angel held a heap of shoes like intoxicated.
Uriel greeted: "Shoe Angel? I’m vice president Uriel!"
A group of Enchanting Demons laughed: "Even if the president came it wouldn’t matter!"
Uriel long knew the Fallen Angel had issues, now seemingly harder to communicate than Lucifer’s family! Seeing the chattering and snickering Bitch street crowd beside, probably guessed, did the president gain the house selling news from these Bitches?
Recalling their first meeting when this president was dominated by five female Mercenaries ... confirmed, this president is a fool.
Yet can’t say he is foolish; this is the Earth Flame Tribe package set up!
Uriel suddenly wanted to know if anything had developed under the President in the Earth Flame Tribe, perhaps visit Earth Flame Tribe?
