The Game of Global Mining-Chapter 440 - 340: Evil God Crisis—Still Have to Let Chun Out
Mathematics can trigger magical abilities?
But looking at Gauss’s approving smile, Michael felt a profound joy. This wasn’t just about discovering a treasure-level talent, but uncovering the link between mathematics and magic!
But now is not the time to interrupt him. Let’s quietly see how far he can grow.
And seeing an elderly NPC progressing so rapidly while I’ve yet to even break into astrology, I can’t help but feel a bit of helplessness. I’m just too busy, and Beelzebub’s matters have already taken up half a day.
Maybe, if I’m just too busy, should I also let the clown learn astrology?
Just then, Raphael, who also just woke up, greeted in the chat group: "Oh my, Gem City has treasure hunting results. The Pirate King’s Holy Artifact-level Mining Pickaxe has appeared on the black market! And this isn’t an Empire creation. Based on archaeological speculation, it might be from a previous game’s Genesis era!"
Everyone was astonished: "Wouldn’t that make it an artifact from over a thousand years ago?"
"Who dug it up? How did it appear?"
Raphael was anxious: "I’m investigating too, but black market items can’t have their origins traced..."
Michael laughed: "Sariel, the biggest beneficiary of this Mining Pickaxe’s appearance should be the Mermaid."
Sariel suddenly realized: "That’s right! The Pirate King’s treasure can best be excavated by the Mermaid. Even Golden Empire’s fleet needs to cooperate with Mermaid to get the treasure! No matter how much they question Mermaid, it won’t matter. So, we should seize this opportunity to heavily promote this millennium Sacred Artifact!"
Raphael laughed: "Alright, I’ll strive to buy it and then give it to Eve, so Eve can focus on promoting it."
Gabriel was uneasy: "I feel this Sacred Artifact pickaxe’s arrival was too suspicious. It appeared just a day after the Black Iron City’s treasure map event. Feels like a player’s doing!"
Everyone suddenly realized: "It’s possible! Too coincidental! One day’s time to both crack the treasure map and dig up treasure, and go through black market procedures, the timing doesn’t fit!"
Raphael was surprised: "Could it be Chun? He visited Gem City, he could’ve set up in advance to have the Sacred Artifact pickaxe placed on the black market!"
Sariel was stunned: "Did he start setting up the treasure map affair days early? Is he that smart, or did astrology predict events days in advance?"
Michael was astonished too: "Astrology isn’t that powerful, especially a player’s astrology."
Sariel was surprised: "But the Astrology Old Lady went to Gem City!"
"Her level is completely unremarkable compared to the Empire astrologers!"
Raphael couldn’t understand: "If it really is Chun, what is his purpose?"
Sariel was surprised: "Maybe because only my Silver City and your Gem City are wealthier, can sell for a good price! But he’s wanted by my Silver City, can’t go there, so he went to your Gem City?"
Raphael was both crying and laughing: "Teleportation array costs 10,000 on round trip, he might as well sell directly in Black Iron City."
Uriel spoke up: "Why do you all suspect Chun the first thing? When everyone suspects it’s him, then..."
Michael suddenly realized: "Raphael, is there any situation underground in Gem City? It’s logical, after Alpha’s disturbances in Black Iron City, the next stop is most likely you!"
Raphael said: "I’ve been in contact with the Guardian God, there are no discoveries! So, the boss means, this pickaxe might’ve been brought by Alpha?"
Michael said solemnly: "Alpha is capable of manipulating the core database during development. He has the ability to procure such millennial relics! As for the motive..."
Everyone suddenly woke up: "Motive isn’t important; what’s suspicious is the capability!"
Raphael suddenly laughed: "Why does everyone believe Alpha would come to Gem City to make trouble? Precisely because I’m aware of Gem City’s condition, the defense is very tight there. But Sariel’s Silver City, Mermaid Guardian God hasn’t been around for days, plus Siren Pirate King’s cannon bombardment chaos, Silver City is the emptiest and most chaotic, right?"
Sariel was shocked: "If true, those two scoundrel Curries have enough days for setup! I’ll immediately go find Mermaid!"
Michael said solemnly: "Then let’s presume this Sacred Artifact pickaxe event is Alpha’s way to divert our attention. We’ll prepare fully, ready to reinforce Silver City at once if an unexpected uncontrollable situation occurs."
"Understood!"
Sariel hurried towards the Water Race... Sea God Hall.
But seeing himself in such a rush, the players on the street felt it inappropriate, possibly alerting Alpha, who may be observing secretly.
So Sariel had to hold back, walk slowly maintaining composure, and greet the NPCs around the city.
As he slowed down, some players actually thought he was leisurely and started greeting: "Sir Sariel!"
Ah, those idiots! Sariel was a bit impatient: "You’re the thirteenth-ranked top-level professional player, time is as precious as gold, and you have time to walk the streets?"
Piao Buchung, the Two-star Battle Team captain, flattered: "Meeting you is worth spending gold. I’m reporting that after half a month of development, our team’s Hidden Profession Magic Bow Knight, now has a hundred people employed. We request sir to allow our team to take over Azure Sky Battle Team’s Silverlight Village!"
Sariel was genuinely impressed: "A hundred people employed already? Your esports performance never disappoints! Permission granted, of course, I allow!"
Piao Buchung was excited: "Actually, we just need sir to coordinate with Nordic Mythology teams to assist ours."
Sariel laughed: "No problem, of course, we’ll cooperate. But how exactly to cooperate, that’s your matter to discuss. Go, go."
"Thank you for your time, sir."
Sariel scoffed! Some people just don’t know their own place, it’s merely a human experiment garden...
Finally, upon entering Sea God Hall, Sariel couldn’t hold back anymore, rushing to the Mermaid’s Divine Throne.
Mermaid Helen was still lying on the expensive, smooth coral reef watching a magic crystal screen drama. Remia was swimming in the pool in swimwear.
Sariel jumped into the pool, splashing water all around: "Lord of the Divine Throne! Priest Lord!"
Remia frowned: "Sage, you’re being impolite."
Sariel had to apologize: "It’s because of discovering emergency military affairs, I ask Priest Lord to come ashore..."
Then explained the Necromancer Evil God’s threat. Although there was no evidence, Advanced NPCs’ intelligence doesn’t require proof to deduce results from existing conditions.
Indeed, Remia was shocked, and the Mermaid was dumbfounded!
Sariel immediately said: "Lord Helen, if we prepare now, it’s still timely."
The Mermaid was embarrassed: "As a Sea God, I can perceive things over a thousand meters deep in the sea. But you’re talking about an underground burial space, underground, I can’t perceive that!"
Sariel was stunned! She has this limitation? If so, those two Curries certainly have started their operations!
The Mermaid was conflicted: "What should we do then? Wait for them to come out and fight?"
Remia said: "Lord of the Divine Throne, if this Evil God emerges, citizens will suffer great casualties. So, we should follow the former Black Iron Guardian God’s method, choose a Blasphemer to attract the Evil God’s attention, then head to the Alternate Space for a decisive battle!"
The Mermaid again felt awkward: "I can’t perform blasphemous rituals, nor can I access Alternate Space. If I can pull two Evil Gods into the sea, I’m sure I have no problem."
Sariel started sweating profusely!
Remia said: "The so-called blasphemous ritual means injecting substantial amounts of negative energy to lure the Evil God. I heard the Black Iron City Blasphemer actually injected excess negative energy; he’s now confined in our city’s prison, maybe release him to continue attracting the Evil God..."
Sariel was flustered: "No way! It’s because he injected excessive negative energy that he harmed the former Black Iron Guardian God during the space-time transfer. We can’t let him out!"
The Mermaid scorned: "I don’t perform space-time transfer, how could he harm me? Just bind him on a small boat by the shore, lead the Evil God to the sea, well, just near the shore is enough, I have a way to pull the Evil God into the sea!"
Ah...
Sariel felt disoriented! Though events might have turned against his wishes, it seems this is the only feasible plan left?
