The Game of Global Mining

The video conference was disrupted by Brother Tao, resulting in a rather unhappy ending. Other player teams only made symbolic gestures, but it's hard to say if there will be any substantial action.

After the Cyan Peak meeting, he sensibly called Ma Yinglong: "Brother Long, we will fully investigate a few of those stubborn ones from Silver City."

Ma Yinglong sighed: "To be honest, Brother Tao is hot-tempered and doesn't really agree with my decision to have Brother Chun handle it."

Cyan Peak said: "I won't hold a grudge against Brother Tao, I know Brother Tao's relationship with you isn't ordinary—"

Ma Yinglong gave a helpless smile: "Sometimes, the trouble comes from this extraordinary relationship. You did very well today! Keep it up next time!"

"Understood. Additionally, the draft is ready."

Ma Yinglong said solemnly: "Alright! Let's take advantage of this momentum to spread the news of Brother Chun being a super expert to the world..."

...

This time, Chun didn't stay out for long, returning home by 6 PM.

After all, although one needs to lay low, avoiding too much after such a big event would seem deliberate. To act naturally, it's best not to avoid the issue.

As soon as he entered the internet cafe, it was lively and bustling.

"Brother Chun is here! Brother Chun, you're in the top 10 trends!"

Chun's heart skipped a beat, feigning ignorance: "How did I end up trending?"

The group of players laughed: "You must trend! With such a big deal, it'd be outrageous if Brother Chun didn't trend!"

"Brother Chun, come and have a look!"

Chun hurried forward to check the webpage:

"The mysterious expert from the China District, Chun, inheritor of the Pirate King, the start of ruling the seas, and the dominance shown by plundering two mining ships of the Golden Empire!"

Chun was shocked, feeling dizzy on the spot! Holy shit, how did my raid on the Golden Empire get exposed? No reason, no logic? Could it be that Siren had spilled the beans during the few hours I was offline this afternoon?

Chun hurriedly denied: "What Pirate King inheritance, I'm merely an exile, how would I rob anything?"

The group of players laughed: "See how humble Brother Chun is! Brother Chun orchestrates on a desolate island and decides victory from thousands of miles away! With just one word from Brother Chun, even the Pirate King would obediently comply! Wouldn't the Pirate Princess rush to offer warmth to Brother Chun..."

As Chun listened to their outrageous jeering and saw the ambiguous writing style of the article—this is? No, it doesn't seem like exposure, more like someone suspects me and is deliberately trying to pin this on me!

Why pin it on me? Clearly, it's because the big shot's village got looted this afternoon, and in their anger, they're venting it on me! I have to say, they vented correctly, but there's no evidence!

"Brother Chun, Brother Chun, look at this! We knew it, Brother Chun is from the Shield Bureau!"

Chun looked at the headline "Mysterious Dragon Team Specialist on the Internet."

Holy shit! The text doesn't mention me by name, but it's clearly all about me! What's this about the Dragon Team, why not go write a novel?

Chun was nearly driven mad: "It's not me!"

The group of players immediately put on serious, respectful expressions: "We understand! Of course not, come on, Brother Chun, look at this below!"

Holy shit, you guys!

"The super expert who halted Silver City with just an epidemic, Chun"

Holy shit! Yes, this system authentication and warrant, that's me!

However, the siege and debt-collection incident from this afternoon, the most crucial part, was not mentioned at all.

Chun understood, this was because the other party didn't know the inside story, so they couldn't exploit it. Only an enemy wouldn't know!

Chun confirmed: "Brothers, it seems that the big shot's village was lost, and they're blaming me, deliberately trying to aggro me."

Great God immediately stood up: "Brother Chun, don't worry, we're all with you! No matter the level of hatred, anyone wanting to trouble Brother Chun has to get past our first floor first!"

The group of players stood up one after another: "Yes! Brother Chun, don't worry!"

This formation of hundreds of people... No, please! But curiously comforting.

Chun waved his hand repeatedly: "Brothers, sit down, sit down, what's the law and order of Shenjiang? World-class, don't exaggerate this much! Play the game, play the game, how's the village occupation going?"

Chun had to find a topic to diffuse the tense atmosphere.

The group of players laughed: "Occupied! The Royal Family's division had tens of thousands of people, all of us from the internet cafe joined in, and other Black Iron City national server players numbering over ten thousand are on their way to sign up!"

Great God laughed: "Brother Feng also arranged a squad leader position for me, I'm probably able now to command tens of thousands of Black Iron City national server players!"

Chun was surprised: "That Feng... Feng Xingcuo?"

"Yes, Black Iron City's top player. Currently, our task is to dig three trenches, ten meters deep and five meters wide, outside the village walls, pile up dirt to form three earthen walls, all to be completed within a day to prepare for the final siege battle..."

"With the power of over ten thousand national server players, even if each grabs a handful of dirt, we can get it done! Brother Chun, look!"

Looking at the massive crowd working on the screen, Chun was once again shocked! To be honest, just witnessing this scene, if I were to claim this super expert title and enjoy their worship, it would surely be an incredibly thrilling experience.

Chun asked again: "What about the lady debtor?"

"Talked to the village chief, he said let's get through this monster siege first, then discuss other things."

"Even if we hold the siege, the village chief will probably deny the debt, so this... the Royal Family is likely looking for a solution, let's not worry about it yet."

Holy shit! I do need to worry about this...

After chatting for half an hour, Chun had gathered various pieces of information and was ready to start gaming.

...

At this moment, major world teams received the news about the super Chun.

The Young Master of the Divine Team hadn't yet recovered from the rage of failure, and encountering this news left him even more confused and angry!

Confused as to why such news is coming out? Indeed, he did believe it was all done by him, but if it was to reveal and expose him, it should have been me doing it!

Could it be that seeing my village defense fail, they're deliberately promoting him to mock and provoke me?

Without knowing the opponent's intentions, remaining silent is the best choice. But the Young Master is furious, and this exposure post aligns with his mindset, so he might as well fan the flames and push Chun into becoming a global enemy!

"Order the external propaganda department to rally all the paid posters and hype up all posts related to Chun..."

...

At the same time, Michael, Sariel, and other bigwigs who had just fallen asleep were also awakened by their butler, equally bewildered.

The butler reminded: "After investigation, the Divine Team initiated a super large traffic operation."

Sariel responded irritably without thinking: "Is that Divine lad venting his failure-induced anger on this Chun? Let him put on his pathetic show, don't wake me up for such trivial matters..."

Michael chuckled in surprise: "Keep an eye on it."

"Yes, sir, sorry for interrupting your rest..."
