The Game of Global Mining

Chapter 721 - 559: The Boxes Enter the City

Royal Command Center.

Watching Chun’s team rush out of the village, Cyan Peak was stunned and incredulous: "How is this possible? Our village team also interacts with Chun on a regular basis, but we couldn’t trigger any events at all. How did we just ask Brother Chun, and immediately it was possible to interact?"

Zhou Qing chuckled and said: "Don’t ask, if you ask, it’s classified information!"

Ma Yinglong’s smile instantly froze and he became serious: "That’s right, it’s classified information, no one is allowed to ask!"

Soon, Chun’s team dashed out before the groups of monsters could complete their encirclement, reaching the super squad with no nonsense: "Boxes, give them to me, I’ll take them into the city."

Then one person carried two boxes, bypassed the monster groups, and sprinted back into the city. These boxes, which were very heavy for current players, seemed as light as two handbags to this level of NPC.

Brother Tao said: "We can’t rule out the possibility that Uriel might personally come to snatch them, so we need to send someone to follow them!"

Ma Yinglong laughed: "Brother Tao makes a valid point; although tagging along might not be much help for us regular players."

Brother Tao grinned arrogantly: "What’s so special about the Ten Lords? Didn’t our Moore take them down?"

Ma Yinglong laughed: "Indeed, then we should also prepare in the city and organize the players in the China District, ready for anything."

Zhou Qing smiled and said: "Anyway, at this point, the team doesn’t have the pressure of protecting the boxes. Whether we advance to cover them, or go to save the village while hunting monsters, both are fine, right?"

"Beauty Zhou is right!"

Just then, Chang Liang spoke up: "There’s something I want to say, but I’m not sure if I should."

Ma Yinglong grumbled: "If it’s something that’s not conducive to unity, then don’t say it."

Chang Liang had to say: "Sorry, I just farted."

Ma Yinglong snorted: "Farting is good; it releases tension and lightens you up. Now let’s get on with it."

"Understood."

At this moment, the Ten Lords Chat Group was in a flurry.

Uriel was shocked: "It’s that bankrupt captain again! It’s one thing for him to help them defend the village, but now he’s actively running out to help players carry boxes?"

Michael sighed: "That’s really annoying, the boss’s plan was for the China team to bring the boxes into the city to trigger the plague, then catch them and imprison them. But now with NPCs bringing the boxes into the city, we can’t arrest them."

Sullivan said bitterly: "Then catch the NPC! Unfortunately, it allows the players to escape this time."

Gabriel sighed: "Stick to the original plan then..."

...

Unknowingly, midnight was approaching.

Chun, after repeatedly dismantling and extending beam structures, eventually designed and optimized a three-in-one plan called the "Fibonacci Spiral Art Wall," feeling quite confident.

Fibonacci is actually the structure of a seashell, represented by sequences like "0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13..." The latter numbers are the sum of the previous two, and the ratio of the subsequent number to the previous number approaching 1.618 indefinitely, which is a famous irrational number known as the "golden ratio," a magical rule prevalent in nature.

With the golden ratio involved, I refuse to believe it can’t be done!

However, thinking that it was about to hit midnight with today’s tens of thousands of bread sales dividends coming in, this amount could be quite massive, perhaps inadvertently ousting the 10th ranked of the Ten Lords—Gabriel—although it doesn’t seem likely, but should such a situation occur, considering himself in Gabriel’s hands, wouldn’t that be a disaster? Could it not lead to immediate retaliatory experimentation?

Therefore, Chun decided to hold off a few bricks and beams until after midnight.

Meanwhile, the dance venue was soon near completion, allowing Mina and Beth to rest and wait until after midnight.

Otherwise, with divine artifact building and bread dividends, this ranking is really hard to suppress!

However, the building of divine artifacts was in Aileen’s contracted Divine Domain, theoretically only counting towards Aileen’s strength and not his own, not affecting rankings? But one shouldn’t gamble, who knows what’s going on in the Divine Domain?

While resting, Chun received another text from Zhou Qing: "Brother Chun, the captain’s team successfully delivered the boxes to the dock warehouse in the city."

Chun felt gratified: "Very good, look at these exquisite boxes, hope to make a fortune."

Zhou Qing chuckled and said: "Actually, everyone is quite anxious, but it’s not convenient to say it."

Chun seemed to figure it out: "Worried the boxes might be snatched by NPCs and the players won’t get the money?"

Zhou Qing felt a bit embarrassed: "There might be such a thought."

Talking about money like this tends to hurt feelings, and Chun himself couldn’t guarantee the extent of Mermaid’s control over Chun, nor considering Mermaid herself also had ambitions.

Chun could only hesitantly say: "This Chun is a bankrupt captain who owes a lot of debt, and his team are his creditors who will inevitably want a peek at the box’s contents... everyone’s concerns are actually very reasonable, if it gets snatched, just blame me, I’ll find a way to compensate."

Zhou Qing immediately said: "Actually, I mean, this NPC surely is Brother Chun’s fellow, right? If the NPC snatches the boxes for Brother Chun’s benefit, then it’s an investment in Brother Chun’s growth, benefiting the China District, and everyone would have no objections."

Chun was somewhat embarrassed: "Well, calling them fellows is a bit much."

Zhou Qing chuckled and said: "Anyway, even if they’re not fellows, it’s something else. And you know, Silver City is suddenly bustling, with performances by Bronze City Beauty and Silver City Beauty, the Bronze City Beauty smoking and then city-wide patrol officers handing out free cigarettes to everyone, seems like this Mermaid really knows business..."

Holy Shit, starting the sales already? With free cigarettes handed out, this money surely comes out of Silver City first, still likely quite an amount, so counting cigarette money, it’s really overwhelming at midnight dividend!

Suddenly, Zhou Qing switched topics: "Something’s up, Silver City’s police force is starting to surround the warehouse where Chun is located!"

Holy Shit, indeed the Ten Lords are targeting Chun?

Chun immediately called out to Aileen: "Aileen, contact Mermaid, let Chun run away quickly!"

"Got it!"

Chun was furious; these damn Ten Lords didn’t even care about face, directly snatching boxes?

Zhou Qing sent another message: "Don’t worry Brother Chun, we’ve already prepared several hundred players in the city, they’re all heading toward the warehouse, as soon as the police make a move, we’ll cover Chun’s escape with all our might."

Chun felt helpless: "Have we got our Baguette Team established yet?"

Zhou Qing sighed: "Not quite yet, since transporting bread out of Black Iron City costs 5000 teleportation ore coins, it’s tough to find suitable people for this short-term task."

That’s risking red name repercussions, it’s rather tragic...

Zhou Qing chuckled again: "Let me tell you another interesting news, Tata War God who lured siege monsters to attack Silverlight Village died and revived at Resurrection Plaza; losing a morning’s worth of experience and then some."

Chun laughed: "Will Silverlight Village hold against the siege monsters?"

"Rest assured, Silverlight Village has been prepared for a city-wide team siege from the start, with the main team outside the village for these three days, the whole village engaged in fortification..."
