The Game of Global Mining-Chapter 406 - 322: Astrology? It’s Ground-Penetrating Radar!
Usually, cells have surveillance.
Chun believes this special cell should be no exception. It wouldn’t be good for the Ten Lords behind the scenes to see him learning from the Divine Artifact Book right in front of the surveillance.
Chun stood up and went to the prison rules wall to study the rules, only to discover there really was one that said "No lying under the bed."
Holy Shit! Oh well, let’s just read it as is.
He flipped through the first Chapter, but there was no reaction at all.
Chun suddenly remembered he had another book that Maria gave him, the "Comprehensive Guide to Treasure Identification." When he flipped through the first Chapter, he immediately learned Basic Treasure Identification Technique. She also mentioned she wasn’t interested in human history or art, but by combining this with archeology and this technique, it could birth a new profession, the Erudite Scholar! (Note: Chapter 217)
So, she had reminded him early on to learn archeology! Even Fafnir giving him the Prestige Guide was arranging for him to take the upper-tier route.
Unfortunately, time and tide wait for no man. I have to squeeze into prison. Fortunately, the prison should allow me to focus on learning.
As a top student, Chun had his reading habits, which were to not skip Chapters at first, just flipping from beginning to end. This is called comprehensive reading; it gives a basic concept of the overall structure of a book.
He flipped halfway through without any insights into astrology. It seems the Earth Mother was not being modest; she was indeed randomly compiling, explaining the obscure with confusion.
After spending half an hour flipping through the whole book, at last—the system notified: Congratulations! Your Outstanding Wisdom has preliminarily comprehended the insights of astrology.
Incredible! Difficult, difficult, difficult, the path is most profound!
Alright, now let’s begin skipping around.
Finished the first Chapter, skipped directly to the sixth Chapter, here it comes!
——System Notification: Congratulations! Your Outstanding Wisdom, Grandmaster-level Rune Technique, and Grandmaster-level Spatial Technique successfully comprehended the Rune Technique "Earth Vein Perception"! 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
Earth Vein Perception: Can roughly perceive the surrounding underground geological structures and mineral distributions. Requires Expert-level Rune Technique to activate.
Holy Shit!!
So, Chapters 2345 would only lead you astray without comprehension! The key is, this Rune Technique wasn’t written in the earlier Rune materials by Earth Mother, probably because it required Spatial Technique and couldn’t be included in the Rune materials?
It truly is a method not lightly passed on!
Chun wanted to test the skill right there, but this was prison, daring not to try recklessly lest he violate the prison rules.
Chun immediately switched to a small account, and just as he thought—System Notification: Congratulations! You shared the Rune Technique "Earth Vein Perception" through Soul Link with your main account.
Chun got excited: "Earth Lotus, try my newly learned Earth Vein Perception."
"Okay, Father."
It’s time to test now; otherwise, with Earth Lotus’s earth series strength, activating more potent Rune Techniques might cause significant turmoil.
With the initiation of Rune Technique, the pure darkness ahead gradually transformed, with effects similar to radar activation appearing, and indeed displaying several linear outlines nearby.
These lines are clearly the outlines of buildings!
Earth Lotus was thrilled: "Father, I feel I can see far underground!"
Chun was stunned, is this a ground-penetrating radar? If stronger and farther, wouldn’t it easily locate the other City Beauty residences, sparing the blind twists?
Chun was thrilled: "Wait, there’s even stronger coming, you continue!"
"Got it."
Chun switched back to the main account, skipped directly to the tenth Chapter, here it comes again!
——System Notification: Congratulations! Your Outstanding Wisdom, Grandmaster-level Rune Technique, and Grandmaster-level Spatial Technique upgraded "Earth Vein Perception" to Master-level Earth Vein Perception.
Ah, this work is truly unadorned.
Chun switched back to the small account to observe the effects, the progress was simply like opening a CAD architectural blueprint!
Moving on, skip to the 16th Chapter!
——System Notification: Congratulations...upgraded to Grandmaster-level Earth Vein Perception! Able to summarize the patterns of the earth veins to predict unknown terrains.
——System Notification: Congratulations! Your Outstanding Wisdom comprehended the insights of prediction, successfully comprehended Advanced Astrology level 1! Gained achievement reward: Mana+21, Physical Strength+21, Luck+3, additional reward: Wisdom+3, Spirit+3.
Advanced Astrology: Has a certain probability to predict upcoming events, in battles has a chance to compare luck values and evade or disrupt opponents’ skills.
...
Holy Shit!
Chun was completely in awe of Earth Mother! After comprehending Grandmaster Earth Vein, the ability to summarize patterns for predictions, learning prediction connect forcibly with Astrology, starting directly at advanced level! And nothing related to the constellations!
Thinking about it, she is the Earth Mother, not the Air Mother, able to extend her domain to the extreme across disciplines is already unbelievably strong!
Chun switched back to the small account again, Earth Lotus’s exclamation came: "I can see everything!"
Indeed, the foundations of the five City Beauty residences simply surround into a quadrangle courtyard, no, "Pentagon"! And his current position is actually the center of the Pentagon.
Even outside the Pentagon, he saw the building outlines of adjacent spaces, marked as "Terrain Prediction." So, it’s impossible for this Heroic Spirit Hall to only imprison five City Beauties, it imprisons others? Breaking through this space to the next might uncover new findings?
Anyway, the map is fully open; first, compare foundation structures to locate Fafnir’s residence.
Chun immediately searched online for Black Iron City’s mansions, compared it, Chun confirmed the target: "Earth Lotus, that’s the place!"
Earth Lotus was thrilled: "Alright, Father! After seeing it all, I found drilling is faster and easier."
That’s exactly the point, Earth Mother’s astrology comes so timely!
Then, Chun decided not to continue flipping the Astrology Book, after all, Earth Mother said the rest were contents she copied and combined, truly wanting to learn, one would need to find a knowledgeable master in astrology.
Such masters probably aren’t hard to find, as long as Earth Mother continues to raise Astrology’s fame, naturally, experts will come voluntarily to meet her.
Next, he’ll study the "Comprehensive Guide to Treasure Identification" and improve the Treasure Identification Technique.
Then Chun found that this book is actually without difficulty, it’s truly just a matter of spending time, flipping a page increases one page of skill proficiency. Certainly, there is real content, possibly modifying some art and antique photos of the real world into it. Probably the modification wasn’t done manually, only AI could have modified it.
So he spent time learning until intermediate. Chun seriously suspects this book was rated as a Divine Artifact simply because it has no difficulty, and delivers skills for free?
At this moment, a message came from Earth Lotus: "Father, I’ve drilled through!"
Excitedly, Chun switched over to check, no doubt, it’s Fafnir’s residence!
Chun checked the time, game time was 4 AM, right when she’s neither fully awake nor asleep. Looking at the courtyard, there’s no movement at all.
Chun could completely go straight in, directly vines climbing walls to swiftly enter her bedroom.
However, don’t exclude the possibility the first person maniacally installed invisible Divine Artifact surveillance in every City Beauty residence, so he must stay completely cautious.
"Earth Lotus, infiltrate through the wall cracks."
"Understood, Father."
