The Game of Global Mining

Just leave the developments to the big teams in the national server, Chun being overly concerned may not be the best.

It's just about dinner time, say goodbye to the internet café's revelry and go out for a meal.

While eating, the phone rang, it was his wife Xiaoqin: "Chun, have you eaten?"

"I'm eating right now!"

"Tomorrow is Uncle's birthday, lunch at Jinjiang Grand Hotel, can you come back?"

"Sure, sure, I already told the boss in advance."

"Alright, try to come early, take your time eating..."

After the call ended, Chun truly felt the weight of the task at hand, spending six days at the internet café has taken its toll, he still needs to go for a haircut and apply a face mask to tackle the oily skin and dark circles.

No, I'll go tomorrow morning. Otherwise going back to the café all refreshed and glowing, people might think I'm celebrating for something, thinking I've gained great benefits — can't let anyone think that. What does it have to do with me?

Fortunately, Aileen is extremely strong, the AI has also made advancements again, managing the main account isn't a problem, and the secondary account can be managed by Earth Lotus, missing a day probably won't be a big deal.

Everything is in place, the key is to prove I wasn't online and present on-site. After all, with today's events, my reputation might have grown even more, avoid where you can...

...

Lost Paradise.

After disbanding the team, Uriel was just about to rest.

——System Notification: The bounty mission you posted at the commerce headquarters has been completed, but the assigned level does not match the actual difficulty, you cannot receive the bounty item, please proceed to the commerce headquarters for arbitration discussions.

Uriel was stunned, what's going on?

Got it! This is exactly what I feared the most, the team has sent too much, the Six-headed Serpent might have evolved into a Seven-headed Serpent, this task should be SS level! If it's SS level, I need to add more privilege points!

But as long as I get the key, it's better than being tortured by this group of pampered kids, the Seven-headed Serpent is simply beyond what these fools can handle, even professional teams would find it difficult.

Uriel rushed to the commerce headquarters in a whirlwind, only to find his bounty mission displayed as "Completed awaiting arbitration".

Uriel quickly asked the attendant: "My bounty mission..."

The attendant smiled and replied: "Esteemed Mr. Uriel, your bounty mission has been completed by the Dios Commerce Association, but there was an unexpected situation, your bounty target advanced and evolved into a Seven-headed Serpent, so your mission should be SS level, which significantly increases the difficulty, you need to pay an additional 20,000 privilege points or equivalent to receive your reward, the Earth Core. Would you like to make an additional payment?"

20,000 it is.

——System Notification: You made an additional payment, completed the bounty mission, and received the reward item "Earth Core"!

Uriel let out a long sigh of relief, he felt he would have a good dream while sleeping.

Uriel suddenly remembered something: "What is this Dios Commerce Association? I've never heard of it!"

The attendant laughed: "The famous Azazel Dios, sir hasn't heard of him?"

Uriel wasn't fully familiar with the NPC world: "I can't recall, could you tell me?"

The Enchanting Demon laughed: "Of course, he's the explorer Dios who disappeared claiming treasure hunting after acquiring a 10 billion debt, wasn't expecting him to really succeed, even though a servant said he died in the Earth Flame Tribe, but the servant is helping restore the Azazel Race's reputation by establishing a Dios Commerce Association specifically to repay the debt..."

Earth Flame Tribe!!!

It's practically the Satan's Thunder world-ending storm!

Uriel felt the sky and earth spinning: "Let me check this Dios Commerce Association information!"

"Okay, sir!"

The Enchanting Demon opened the Magic Crystal Screen to introduce the information:

——Dios Commerce Association: Level 3, 11 members, assets 2.2 million, unknown super divine artifact asset under evaluation...

Member list:

Azazel Vonima, Position: Chairman, Shareholder.

Disqualified Guardian God Shoe Angel, Position: Shareholder.

Disqualified Guardian God Wine Angel, Position: Shareholder.

Disqualified Guardian God Plague Angel, Position: Shareholder.

S-level Fallen Angel Mercenary Kasha, Position: Shareholder.

...

S-level Vampire Mercenary Julia, Position: Shareholder.

Black Dragon Lord's Emissary Artistutaia Popona, Position: Resident Office Agent at Commerce Headquarters.

Earthbound Flame Dragon Devouring the Progenitor's Bursting Juice, Position: Member.

...

Unknown super divine artifact? 3 disqualified guardian gods? Black Dragon Lord's emissary? It's clearly the Black Dragon Lord's daughter!

Uriel's vision darkened, the most feared situation has happened! My big prize's design can only prevent robbery, but it's hard to say if it can prevent theft! If high-level NPCs in the treasure hunting profession find a loophole, then the big prize is taken… what's the point of the key?

But how is there a loophole? Did the AI self-adapt for logical reasons? A loophole caused by the instability of volcanic seismic activities?

Dios dying in the Earth Flame Tribe is understandable since my design is that strong! But how is there a servant?

Uriel's whole body trembled as he confirmed again: "So this Dios Commerce Association can transport ore in the Earth Flame mining area?"

The attendant smiled: "Yes, although Chairman Vonima claims he is the only one able to transport ore in the mining area, the mineral price has been suppressed, so he requested debt to equity conversion and increased investment, but because of Dios's poor reputation, it was refused. But now it's different, Mr. Vonima completed the demanding task of the Black Dragon Lord, gaining her admiration and support, surely the commerce association will now run very differently."

The only one transporting ore… That should have been me!!

Uriel trembled and said: "Check the mineral prices!"

"Yes, sir."

Looking at the high-end crystal stone ore prices that suddenly dropped a huge notch, Uriel understood! It's no wonder this time so many high-end monsters appeared in the siege, it has nothing to do with the Divine Presence Corps!

"What kind of person is this President Vonima?"

"According to the Mining Guild's data, he is a Grandmaster-level Miner, Earth Flame Spirit! An outstanding talent, there are only 20 grandmaster miners in Lost Paradise, even only 3 grandmaster miners..."

What to do?

Uriel's murderous intent rose, but the accumulation of many days and the exhaustion of staying up all night made his murderous intent not so strong.

After all, one's physical state affects their fighting spirit. Just like Roosevelt, who once succumbed to a painter's negotiation due to his ailing leg...

There's no certainty in killing! Even if I ruin him bankrupt, what guarantees can replace me if he's bankrupt? Hard to say!

Or join! Just like the Divine Team joined the Baron's Spice Guild.

Moreover, this commerce association just happens to be missing a vice chairman position, as long as I become the vice-chairman… that means simultaneously gaining the support of the Earth Flame Tribe, the Azazel Race, and the Black Dragon Lord's parties!

This benefit far outweighs solely relying on the Earth Flame Tribe!

So, parasitism! Parasitism is the key to the family's dominance over the world!

"I want to see this president!"

"As stated, he went to the Earth Flame Tribe to transport ore. Sir can go to room 233 and meet their commerce office permanent agent, Miss Popona."
