The Game of Global Mining-Chapter 317 - 273: What Is the Difference Between Merfolk and Fishman?
At this moment, Chun watched as Earth Lotus focused intently on drawing "Gift of Nature" on the young Minotaur. The young Minotaur was also trying hard to chant "Ebony Will," but could only manage the "Ebony Will" and couldn’t utter another word. No special effects were triggered either...
It’s probably not going to work...
Just then, the miners started greeting joyfully, "Greetings, chief!"
Has Grandmaster Minotaur returned? Chun wanted to turn around and greet too, but Earth Lotus was fully engrossed.
The young Minotaurs paused their chanting as well and joined in the greetings, "Greetings, Grandmaster!"
Grandmaster Minotaur came over with a displeased nasal grunt, exhaling a strong aroma of alcohol. The young Minotaurs shivered in fear!
"Little ones, you’re not devout enough to the power of runes!"
Then Minotaur glanced at the newly drawn rune and was greatly amazed, "Friend, this is a rune language I’ve never seen before! But I can sense the transformative Wind Power from it! Draw one for me, let me demonstrate to the little ones!"
He directly sat down as he finished speaking.
This is promising! He’s a Mining Grandmaster, but he specializes in mining rune ores, so his Rune Cultivation mustn’t be low. He should be able to read it!
Chun exclaimed excitedly, "You need to start with the incantation, Ebony Willen..."
Minotaur seemed to have an enlightened look akin to experiencing an epiphany in the restroom...
He can understand!
Chun (Earth Lotus) began engraving on his back, and Minotaur followed, chanting, "Ebony Will—"
The next moment, the rune emitted a faint lightning glow!
—System Prompt: You have drawn a brand-new rune, and your Grandmaster-level Rune Technique proficiency has improved.
Improved proficiency! Getting closer to Divine-level.
Minotaur evidently felt the power, chanting louder, "Ebony Will—"
Though he could only chant these four words, the emotion and demonstration were spot on. The young Minotaurs excitedly chanted along, "Ebony Will!"
At this moment, the surrounding miners were stirred with emotion, a circuit-board miner approached cautiously, fearing to interrupt the chanting, merely pointing, and seated behind the Grandmaster.
Chun understood, immediately engraving another on the back of the circuit-board miner.
The circuit-board miner joined the chanting queue too.
Even the young Minotaurs who were initially unwilling to learn gathered around and sat down, much to Chun’s appreciation. In the end, some things an outsider like himself absolutely couldn’t accomplish. But a high-status, universally respected figure like Minotaur could achieve it. He’s undoubtedly a hero among their kind!
With each of Chun’s completions, the entire mine echoed with the resounding and synchronized chant of the four words by the Minotaurs!
Electric light began flickering on the back of the circuit-board miner.
His success immediately stirred an overwhelming fervor of devotion among the surrounding Minotaurs.
Chun understood, this is the power of demonstration!
It’s not enough for Minotaur alone to grasp it; others might still hesitate because he’s a Grandmaster. But if the circuit-board miner got it, then they think if he can do it, so can I.
Chun seriously suspected that Minotaur could say more than just four words; he was merely demonstrating...
The next moment, a flash of lightning appeared on a young Minotaur!
Success with one!
The excited young Minotaur was on the verge of tears...
One after another, lightning kept appearing on various Minotaurs!
And Chun’s system proficiency prompt kept flashing until—System Prompt: Congratulations! Your Outstanding Wisdom and Grandmaster-level Rune Technique successfully comprehended the rune language "Gift of Nature"! Your Rune Technique proficiency has been greatly boosted!
Greatly boosted, a significant stride towards Divine-level!
Continue!
But if continued, no matter how devout the Minotaurs were, how much lightning appeared, Chun’s proficiency would never increase again.
Earth Lotus said, "Father, I think it’s much more prepared than before, I’ve decided to engrave a Gift of Nature on my left arm with my right hand and then sprint towards Divine Craftsman Level!"
Chun was very pleased, "Let’s do it!"
...
Northern Fishing Port Village, night fell, the lights shone bright.
Peeping Immortal led 89 members of the Shangri-La Commerce Association to arrive on time. Initially, 20 of these members were the world’s top 10,000 elites, with 2 executives having successfully changed to the thief profession.
It must be said, during the public beta, failing to break through was a setback. Now, even with career-switch guides, it takes over ten days to complete, which is quite costly. This also means that right now is the period of breakout for high-end global players, and various Hidden Professions will emerge.
In the city, the club members usually task-flow focused, with no time for combat test tasks. This assistance at the Fishing Village presented a good opportunity for battle experience. If they could defeat more bosses, the remaining 18 executives could potentially change to thieves before the grand assault on the Southern Canyon Village the next evening.
At this time, the village elder, Old Sea Urchin, was still grumbling, "You came too late! If you’re not strong enough to take this stake, I’d rather borrow money and pay off debts to kick you out! Hurry up and get armed, board boats 6, 7, and 8, your task is to eliminate the small fries!"
We kill the small fries? You take on the Boss? No way! As players, our goal is to stick close to the strongest NPC to help finish off the Boss!
Peeping asked, "What’s your task, Village Elder?"
The village elder was enraged, "You little kid asking about my business?"
Peeping unabashedly replied, "I’m the Vice President of the shareholders association, I have the right to inquire about the village’s safety development. We need to ensure the Village Elder’s safety, we have to follow the boat to protect you!"
The village elder was furious, "Does an old man need you little kids to protect him? Get out of my way!"
Peeping employed the task-flow secret move of "turning to leave while promising backup": "We’ll constantly attend to the Village Elder’s safety on boats 6, 7, and 8 and provide timely reinforcements."
