The Game of Global Mining-Chapter 481 - 359: Greedy Mine? Countering Greed with Contentment
Aileen’s radar activated, but the map couldn’t expand much, just a few dozen steps, and it was very blurry.
Aileen was stunned: "How could this be?"
Chun was also shocked. With Aileen’s radar capabilities from before, covering half a sewer shouldn’t be an issue, let alone now, it shouldn’t be this short-lived!
Chun thought of the newly acquired Beelzebub skill, activating Holy Tracing, Filthy Tracing.
The result... can’t say it’s underperforming, but rather it has no response!
Does that mean that this place is neither holy nor filthy?
Chun instinctively touched the pit wall beside him, feeling a sand-like friction, just like the cement walls of a roughcast room.
Oh? Could it be a structure with some wave-absorbing material causing the radar waves to not feedback, so the radar can’t probe far?
Then activate Earth Vein Perception!
Only then did the surrounding terrain slowly reveal a rough outline, but this outline was different from the map generated by Aileen’s radar, and the sensing distance was even shorter than the radar!
Holy Shit, could it be that this special material is also interfering with the Earth Series Rune Technique?
Aileen was a bit panicked: "This place is too weird!"
Chun was already very tired, and suddenly being forced into such a strange event was displeasing. According to what they said, if they could solve this, the City Lord would let him out; was this the so-called test?
But why do I need to leave? My imprisonment is to cooperate with the Mermaid, why should I be manipulated by the City Lord? Even if he’s the father-in-law, it doesn’t matter.
I’m slacking off, not cooperating!
Chun sighed: "Aileen, why don’t we just stay here motionless? If there’s really any midnight Evil Spirit, it will naturally come to us, saving us the trouble of looking around."
Aileen laughed: "Alright, if it’s an Evil Spirit, we have 100 here, are we afraid we can’t beat it?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
True! Chun immediately felt confident: "Then you take over."
So Chun took the opportunity to get some rest and sleep.
Until the internet cafe attendant’s knock came from outside: "Brother Chun..."
It was noon! But in the game, it was midnight.
Chun glanced at the screen, Holy Shit, there was a situation! Surely can’t forcibly shut down and log off?
Chun shouted urgently: "Dude, just leave it on the ground outside! I’ll come out later."
The attendant was straightforward: "Okay, Brother Chun!"
At this moment, in the previously pitch-black pit, the light from the miner’s cap lamps lit up everywhere, overlapping shadows, a world of light and shadow, and the clinking sounds of mining echoed through the tunnel.
Holy Shit, it really does look a bit like Evil Spirit Island! But there, it’s dark at night, and here it’s midnight?
Fortunately, there was no attack threat notification!
In any case, as long as a battle doesn’t break out, it’s good. Even if a battle starts, having Aileen take over is better than doing it myself.
Chun finally felt at ease to open the door and get the meal, then suddenly noticed the attendant standing at the stairway watching from afar.
Chun was startled for a moment!
The attendant waved and smiled: "I wasn’t at ease, had to see Brother Chun come out with my own eyes."
He was probably worried someone might spit in the food?
Chun laughed: "Alright, I’m busy!"
So he brought back the tray and closed the door, eating while observing the situation, and there was no movement until Chun finished eating.
Only then did Chun free his hands to properly login, and Aileen spoke up: "Dear, our Contract Space has received a lot of black mist, all filled with intense greedy desires!"
Chun was startled: "So, these Evil Spirits are all obsessions of greed?"
Aileen marveled: "It’s Silver City after all! It’s said in the early days of exploration, it was like mountains of gold and silver, every miner’s pick was money, a single swing was equivalent to an ordinary worker’s monthly wage, it’s no wonder they went crazy..."
Chun asked: "Can we handle these black mists?"
Aileen was uncertain: "We can even withstand the Black Water of the Black Iron Guardian God, probably not afraid of a bit more mist. However, this greed mist is too pure, if necessary, we can use the mansion’s Crystal Stone for a bit of spiritual purification."
Indeed! So what now? Venture deep into the mining area to chat with these Evil Spirits? But there’s no naked beauties as some mentioned...
Lost in thought, a violent roar came from the side of the small Earth Lotus account.
Chun switched over to take a look, the small account was buried in the soil, but already felt the earth-shaking impact was amazing.
Earth Lotus whispered: "Father, it seems the storm outside has stopped, and the eggs in the cave have hatched—"
Before the words finished, there were several more roars and collisions!
Chun was startled: "Have we been discovered?"
Earth Lotus said: "Maybe the eggs hatched and started fighting each other, we should take advantage of the chaos to dig deeper, hiding further away..."
Several eggs? Truly a level 2 leftover mining area, they can squander resources like raising offspring!
Chun made a decision, switching back to the main account: "Aileen, if we go deeper, it might not be black mist anymore, maybe it’ll rain black, completely out of control, let’s stay put and deal with these black mists slowly, until daybreak."
Aileen laughed: "Not moving again? That’s not like you."
There was no choice before, now there is! The small account is in a dangerous place, while the main account slacks off completely, can’t take risks in both spots, right?
Chun sighed: "We just need to use non-greed to fight their greed!"
Aileen laughed: "Makes sense, actually I am quite greedy too, I worry about what might happen if I encounter some treasure and lose control!"
Chun was taken aback, indeed! Back when Grandpa the pirate left the Crystal Stone boat, Aileen personally learned to sail and urged on... good thing she knows her own weakness too.
"Then it’s settled, absolutely no movement!"
"Yes, no movement!"
So Chun focused on the small account. The shaking and roaring there gradually subsided, until the last distant roar disappeared.
