The Game of Global Mining-Chapter 528 - 390: Brother Long’s Mindset, Sewer Explosion
Chun immediately got animated: "This Bilenna has a mysterious identity with the pirates, and won’t trigger any boring events. There must be a deep meaning to the rain; if it’s at sea, it might involve a shipwreck. If it’s here... let me think, in any case, the weather is top secret. Except for Feng Xingcuo, no ordinary player can know about it."
Zhou Qing also got serious: "Currently only Brother Long, me, and Feng Xingcuo know about it. We’ll slowly help Brother Chun think about it. Brother Chun, have a late-night snack first."
After ending the call, Chun took a deep breath, feeling relieved to have subtly conveyed the message. As for the answer, let them think as outlandishly as possible. Otherwise, saying he wants to flood the enemies with water doesn’t sound right...
After a sumptuous meal, Chun took over mopping from Aileen: "Darling, I’m here. You worked hard, go rest."
Aileen sighed in relief: "I need a good rest, it was really boring! Oh, by the way, steel wool also works with Mop Mastery."
Ah, the steel wool for scrubbing stove grease? So, Mop Mastery is actually a broad term!
So during the following time, Chun was scrubbing oil stains repeatedly front and back. Even the high walls and ceilings, Chun could reach with a long mop even in a wheelchair, though it was a bit laborious.
Looking at the previously greasy black wall and stove now scrubbed white, Chun didn’t feel bored at all; rather, he felt incredibly stress-relieved! It’s said that guys like watching videos of repairing donkey hooves or rug cleaning, which is supposedly very stress-relieving.
And what’s more relieving is that the cook finally stopped scolding! Maybe also de-stressed by my mopping? If NPCs had this stress-relief emotion, that would be something else...
...
At two in the morning.
Mop Mastery skill leveled up to Basic 10, and Intermediate was in sight, Chun shook off the fatigue and scrubbed the stove a third time.
Just then, Zhou Qing’s text message buzzed on the phone: "Brother Chun, haven’t you slept?"
Chun was really impressed; had they figured out the answer so quickly?
"Not sleeping, been busy the whole time."
Zhou Qing sent a voice message directly: "Brother Long’s idea is that the terrain of Southern Canyon Village is like a basin. Normally rain should turn it into a lake, but it doesn’t. It means somewhere the water drains underground; there might be a hidden lake or a mining area underground."
Chun was shocked: "Is that what Brother Long thinks?"
Zhou Qing laughed: "Mainly because on the first day you came to the village, you killed a variant tree spirit outside, which was announced, and Brother Long found it curious where around the village would have tree spirits, maybe it’s an underground lake?"
Holy Shit!!
Sherry and I just casually killed a Tree Monster, and being stuck on it until now, Brother Long’s thinking is completely different from mine. And his thinking fills in what I hadn’t thought of; if there is indeed a drain, then a torrential downpour is powerless! Then finding a place without leaks to build a dam to collect water is imperative!
Also, this means Brother Long certainly thinks I’m hiding something—not just that, Zhou Qing would also think so, thinking I might be somewhat secretive?
Chun sweatily thought, he didn’t mind not knowing Brother Long. The key is Zhou Qing being an old classmate and leader, that face can’t be ignored. So it’s best to give a little cover story.
Chun replied: "Actually, that Tree Monster I killed is part of a hidden quest I received, it’s a village secret. I’ve been afraid to say it out loud, but there really is an underground space, I used... a quest item to teleport in. I don’t know the exact entrance path. Inside it’s quite troublesome, definitely not something players at this stage can handle."
Zhou Qing came to realize: "Ah, I see!"
Chun straightforwardly shared his plan: "It’s likely that the village has this hidden secret, which makes monster attacks frequent. So my idea is to build earth dams at several canyon entrances around, during rains, it can hold back the rainwater, and when monsters attack again, we can flood them!"
Zhou Qing got excited: "Impressive Brother Chun, what a grand plan!"
Chun made the point: "But the trouble is what reason to use for building the dams? Otherwise, if the Baka Curry Consortium knows, they will definitely come to sabotage it!"
Zhou Qing laughed: "Simple, Tron, Brother Chun’s news of killing a tree spirit was announced, the whole world knows, guessing around the village must be an alternate space, so we’ll just use the excuse of exploring the alternate space, send people digging around the vicinity, to cover the actual construction team building the dams—anyway as long as no one knows about the rain, no one will guess what we want to do!"
Wow!!! What I couldn’t figure out all day, this "Tree Spirit Announcement" solved it!
Chun couldn’t help but look at Zhou Qing in a new light: "Great insight, Leader!"
Zhou Qing laughed: "Then I’ll relay this to Brother Long. Also, KakaXian from Bronze City has prepared 10 big fireworks, ready to showcase, is this the abstract effect Brother Chun wants?"
Holy Shit! These brothers are really taking care of my business seriously! 10 big fireworks could kick off a village festival, not cheap at all...
Chun couldn’t bear to let them waste money, so he got straight to the point: "Still not abstract enough, how about uncovering a sewer manhole and blasting it, if it ignites methane, wouldn’t the explosive effect be even more thrilling?"
Zhou Qing got startled: "The sewers have methane?"
Chun laughed: "There should be, after all, mines have gas and methane, many sewers are built from old underground mine tunnels."
Zhou Qing laughed: "Alright, I’ll keep relaying to Brother Long. By then, Chun, you can watch website videos, check out the explosion effect."
"Sure! Just let me know when you’re about to blow it up."
...
After ending the call, Chun’s mood was incredibly lifted, no, it was lifted! Waiting for the sewer to explode, then eliminate Beelzebub once and for all.
But come to think of it, forcibly opening a sewer manhole belongs to obstructing city traffic and endangering public safety crimes, right?
Ah, then I’m sorry for the brothers. If they end up red-named and in jail, and I’m in the same prison, I’d find a way to take care of them...
Chun didn’t have to wait long, Zhou Qing’s call came: "Brother Chun, ready to act!"
Chun immediately instructed Aileen: "Aileen, dispatch all the Dancing Girls, prepare to finish off the last maggots!"
Aileen laughed: "Alright, keeping a few not killed is unbearable for me too!"
At the same time, Chun opened the phone website video to watch the live broadcast.
He saw, the street was in chaos, then alarms blared—Bronze Vanguard City announcement: Warning! Player KakaXian, partly red-named... unauthorisedly opened sewer manhole, constitutes a crime...
Chun was stunned. Wasn’t KakaXian’s status similar to Feng Xingcuo’s? Both are area supervisors of the Royal Family, right? To personally get a red name?
The next moment, there was a muffled explosion in the sewer, a blaze mixed with steam shot into the sky!
Then another boom, the live streamer’s screen shook, manhole covers on surrounding streets were blown skyward by a huge shockwave!
Holy Shit it really did ignite the methane!
Chun immediately ordered: "Aileen, move!"
Aileen: "On it!"
All this setup was to prevent Beelzebub’s Demon Soul from slipping away when defeated, even down a sewer! Now even if it did slip away, it would be attributed to the sewer explosive, purely to mislead the Ten Lords from suspecting Beelzebub...
——System Prompt: Congratulations! Your team successfully defeated Beelzebub’s soul in a soul state, gaining substantial soul combat experience, your Spirit +10, your Commanding Power +100, your Possessing Mirror Spirit Aileen was greatly enhanced, and your Dancing Girl Corps’ strength was greatly boosted.
Got it! Soul combat increases Spirit, a whole 10 points at once, satisfying! 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
The next moment, Aileen brought down several light clusters: "Darling, Beelzebub’s essence is all collected, combine it with the previous crystal core and it’s complete."
"Well, proceed with the fusion."
As the light clusters were absorbed into the crystal core, the core flashed and radiated a diamond-like rainbow brilliance!
——System Prompt: Congratulations! You have obtained a High Tier Beelzebub Crystal Core Gemstone, which can greatly enhance effects of Spatial Displacement and Purification Technique after absorption and embedding.
Finally accomplished, but it can only be used as a gemstone for embedding.
