The Game of Global Mining-Chapter 521 - 385: Dishwashing Is a Cleaner Fish’s Specialty Too
At 8 PM, Chun, who was resting, was awakened by the prison bell. Although Aileen said she would take over, during crucial working hours, he still needed to personally understand the situation.
——System Prompt: It’s meal time, please strictly adhere to queuing discipline to enter the cafeteria. You must finish your meal within 10 minutes.
Ah, there’s even a cafeteria! This is the authentic prison life, way more official than those days in Silver City.
At this point, the old man in the dormitory got up first and issued an order: "Line up at the door."
Looks like he’s the dorm leader? Chun consciously lined up at the end.
Then the team’s standing at the door waiting for the robust team from the rear dormitory to march past with great momentum.
Although Dormitory No.1 has a favorable geographical location and should be the first to go out, this is a prison after all.
Finally, after everyone from behind had passed, Chun’s dormitory started to move.
Arriving at the cafeteria, it was a rather spacious underground cave set up with hundreds of big tables.
At a glance, it seemed each table corresponded to a dormitory, and the tables of those strong ones were even filled with whole roast pigs, iron plate steaks, red wine, and such.
Chun was really astonished, is this freaking prison treatment? So what about my No.1 table?
While Chun was looking around, he indeed noticed some people at some tables giving him strange looks, one of the burly strong men was the Dream Master who first got the Crystal Core.
Holy Shit! Turns out they remember me after waking from the dream!
But they were just watching from afar without any other actions. Looks like Aileen was right; this is the cunning nature of prisoners.
Then a food delivery cart came to Chun’s table, filled with dry bread, noodle soup, and the like.
The dorm leader gave the order: "Eat!"
Uh... although I guessed this would be the case, it’s really irritating.
While dining, the old man spoke softly: "Kid, after you finish eating, you can apply to wash dishes in the cafeteria at the door’s golem. Once you finish washing, you’ll have some rapport with the higher-ups, and your arrangements later will become more flexible, so you won’t have to sweep the mines every day."
Holy Shit, he really is giving me guidance! But he’s an undercover arranged by the Ten Lords—makes sense! As a normal player encountering such a thing, I’d naturally be happy and play along.
Chun was overjoyed: "Old man, you really take care of me!"
The old man chuckled: "You’re a new global rank 11 player, not taking care of you would be odd. When you get out, we’d also like you to help pass some messages to our family."
Ah, that reasoning makes sense too!
Chun was excited: "Will do for sure!"
The old man laughed: "Now hurry and eat, the next meal is at night, you must eat more."
Soon, the prison bell rang, meal time ended, and prisoners gradually left the cafeteria, the old man pointed at the robot again before leaving.
Thus Chun went up to the robot: "Number 0016 applies to wash dishes."
The robot, indeed easy to talk to, said: "Approved!"
Oh yeah! This really has the feel of triggering a hidden quest, huh? But washing dishes... well...
"Aileen, I’ll take a break first, you handle the dishwashing."
Aileen said irritably, "Even at the Count’s Mansion, I didn’t wash dishes!"
Ah, even old couples inevitably argue over dishwashing...
Chun suddenly thought of Xiaoqin, it’s been 18 days since he officially went "on business trip" that he hasn’t washed dishes...
At this time, a system notification popped up on the alt account.
Chun switched to check it out—Dios Commerce Association alert: Congratulations! The commerce association has completed the Black Dragon Fortress task "Open the trade route of the sixth layer of Black Dragon Secret Abyss City." Association level increased to level 30, reputation has gained, and the association has received the blessing skill "Gift of the Black Dragon."
Gift of the Black Dragon: Association members will gain recognition from the Black Dragon, reducing the chance of being attacked by other Dragon Race members.
——Dios Commerce Association alert: Dios Commerce Association has received the Black Dragon Fortress task "The first trade to Secret Abyss City," estimated to be completed within two days.
Note: The journey to the sixth layer is extremely dangerous, be sure to make full preparations.
...
Chun was truly astonished, not because Uriel accomplished a great thing, but because even while being in the Void, he could receive news from Hell this far, truly a kind of nostalgic sentiment like family letters worth a thousand gold. It’s just that this commerce skill couldn’t be shared with the main account, is it because blessing skills can’t be learned?
Wonder if there are dragons in the Void, if there are, I wonder if they respect the Black Dragon’s endorsement.
In any case, it is gratifying, rest is crucial.
...
At this time, Metatron livestreamed Chun’s dishwashing monitoring video to the family group chat: "Everyone look, Chun got tricked just like that! He got scolded by NPCs while washing dishes!"
Sariel chuckled, "What’s special about dishwashing?"
Metatron laughed: "If you love dishwashing, you’ll have endless dishes to wash. Actually, the really funny part is that once the prison bell rings, he immediately logs in, indicating he’s constantly been waiting offline, he’s really into it!"
Sariel laughed, "I guess he’s waiting for the results of the player rescue from Bronze City, right?"
Metatron laughed: "Although I don’t understand, I’m eagerly waiting!"
Uriel spoke: "Here’s good news, my Lost Paradise side has completed the commerce task. But the follow-up task requires two days, so the village attack action has to be delayed for at least two days."
Michael said, "Giving Divine Team’s Hell Miners two extra days is also good. Focus on the task with all your effort."
...
Lost Paradise.
For a week, Uriel had been commuting back and forth transporting ore from the Earth Flame Tribe to prepare for the campaign to wipe out Southern Canyon Village. The task of Black Dragon Fortress was obviously completed by the NPC of the commerce association, of course, the only one truly capable would be the former Silver Guardian God Pava Landing.
