The Game of Global Mining

Seriel didn't have time to mock Uriel; finally, there was movement from Silver City. The City Lord couldn't sit still any longer after four ships being hijacked over two consecutive nights and took the initiative to summon Seriel.

Seriel didn't want to pay attention to him and didn't go.

This is a basic negotiation skill; whoever is anxious has to make more concessions.

So the City Lord's daughter, the Silver Flower adorned in Paladin Armor gleaming with holy light, who is also the Bishop of the Silver Church Court, Remia, personally came over to visit.

When you need to involve a woman to solve a problem, it means...

Seriel was finally somewhat satisfied: "Actually, I already approached the City Lord yesterday."

Remia embarrassedly smiled: "Actually, the City Lord also hopes to let things ferment a bit, to stir up a sense of urgency among the various merchant guilds. This way, we can smoothly raise funds to accomplish this matter."

Seriel solemnly said: "Yesterday, it wasn't that I'm asking a high price. The key issue is not whether the mermaid Helen is willing to go to battle, but whether I'm willing to bear the risk of letting her go to sea. So, I must do my best to keep her; a luxury cruise is a must. Each meal would cost 100 pearls or the equivalent value of Advanced Mineral Crystals; that's basic. These expenses shouldn't be for me alone; they should be shared by all the city's merchant guilds!"

Remia hesitated: "This expense is really—"

Seriel said: "Miss Remia hasn't seen Helen yet, right? Why don't we go see her first? If you can become good friends with her, it will form another layer of friendship bond, and the cost to keep her might be smaller."

"Alright…"

Seriel secretly smiled, realizing that the purpose of having them become friends was actually to make you have to rely on me, ultimately becoming my caged canary...

At the aquarium, the mermaid was still lazily lying on the reef watching dramas.

Seriel called out: "Helen, I brought a friend to see you."

The mermaid didn't even raise her head: "I don't have friends."

Remia gently laughed: "But now, you do!"

The mermaid looked back in astonishment: "You… are very beautiful and strong!"

Remia laughed: "Thank you for the compliment, you're more beautiful and stronger!"

Seriel admired his accurate judgment, knowing that only equally beautiful and strong beings can communicate with each other.

The mermaid waved: "Come in and watch the drama with me?"

Seriel was stunned!

Remia gave a gentle smile to Seriel: "Gentleman, could you step aside for a moment?"

Seriel was taken aback: "You're going into the aquarium?"

Remia began to remove her armor and clothes: "Yes!"

Truly deserving of being called the Silver Flower, her interaction skills are first-class.

Seriel elegantly bowed and exited: "Alright, you two beautiful and strong ladies!"

...

Standing outside the door, Seriel vaguely heard them splashing and laughing. He had to admit, this scene made Seriel have a little bit of imagination.

In reality, Seriel never lacked women; whatever type he wanted, they'd come at his beckoning and go at his dismissing. But they lacked the charm of women in the game.

Because, no matter what, real-life women found it difficult to overcome the sense of inferiority in front of him, which made Seriel feel like he was playing with a bug soon to become tedious. Seriel wanted a goddess, and only in the game could he experience this disparity in status...

In any case, things can be accomplished.

In fact, as long as all of Silver City could sustain the mermaid, Seriel actually hoped that this Siren Hunt would last for a long time.

...

At 6 a.m., Chun woke up from a good sleep.

He glanced at his main account, which appeared to be in the blacksmith shop warming himself and eating. Then, looking at the system message:

——System Message: Congratulations! Your Master-level Module Combination effectively merged the essence of "Dance of Evil Spirits," "Intermediate Heavy Slash," and "Underwater Construction" skills, elevating your Intermediate Heavy Slash to level 10…

It really leveled up to 10 overnight!

It is foreseeable that once it breaks through to Advanced level, it will drive numerous skills.

Aileen spoke: "You're here, huh? Right now, staying at level 10 is hitting a bottleneck. Monsters will be attacking the village as soon as it gets dark, so I can't manage you for now. After it gets dark, I will let you continue learning construction with the old foreman."

Chun was pleased with her arrangement: "What about the Crystal Bat?"

"Already contacted, just waiting for night to come quietly."

"I have to leave for a day, I'll leave it to you!"

"Ah, you're really annoying, alright, go."

Hey!

Chun also switched a glance to the alt account and found that the alt's team was mining in an unfamiliar metallic mine area, and by his side were two Grandmasters. Their Grandmaster-level skill effects were simply awesome!

Honestly, with their wealth and status, why downgrade to accompany me mining at a Master-level mine? Was this arranged by that Uriel big shot?

Very good! In any case, log off, pack up the old clothes, and change into new clothes…

...

Chun, carrying a bag, went down to the first floor, just in time to hear the Great God yelling hoarsely: "It's almost dark, everyone in each group, pay attention, get all the stones for smashing monsters lined up in place, the logistics group must not run out of stones for a moment…"

Just hearing his command filled Chun with confidence! Not to mention there were more than 100,000 players behind him in the national server.

"Brother Chun has come down!"

"Huh! Brother Chun, are you leaving?"

Chun smiled and said: "Yes, I'm going back for a bit."

All the big shots suddenly panicked: "Brother Chun, you better not—"

"Brother Chun, with us brothers here, there's absolutely nothing to fear!"

Holy Shit! What kind of logic is this? Do they think I'm scared and about to run away?

Chun laughed helplessly: "You're overthinking it, I've been out for seven days, isn't it normal to go back for a bit? I'll be back tomorrow."

It was only then that all the big shots breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good!"

Chun called to the bar's little sister: "I won't be here today, clean my room nicely, open the windows for some air."

"Okay, but Chun… Mr. Ding!"

The bar's little sister was also anxious: "Let's arrange a car to send Mr. Ding back!"

Chun sensed her unusualness: "No, no, no need, I still have to eat and get a haircut, which will take the entire morning—"

The little sister said: "Perfect! Mr. Ding can go eat and get a haircut first, that gives us even more time to arrange!"

Chun felt something was off: "You mean I've become famous and will have trouble?"

The little sister looked earnest: "No, it's just… Mr. Ding is the Light of the National Server, the pride of our internet cafe…"

Seeing the little sister speak so urgently, the big shots all stood up in agreement: "Brother Chun, with your top 10 trending fame, you need a proper showing!"

Chun understood, although given Shenjiang's world-class law and order, it seemed a bit far-fetched, his situation indeed required a showing, after all, it's the uncle's 60th birthday, unlike any other. He had money and many connections, maybe he'd even run into former company supervisors! How could that happen?

Chun jokingly asked: "How big of a showing?"

The big shots also joked: "Little sister, how big of a showing can your boss arrange?"

"The demands aren't high, maybe the size of a wedding company's showing would be about right."

Chun was startled: "No, no, what nonsense is this!"

But the little sister was ecstatic: "Rest assured, Brother Chun, the showing will be grand enough, Brother Chun can go eat and get a haircut, we'll arrange everything!"

Holy Shit! Are they really going to bring a wedding company's convoy?

But… quite interesting, let life be absurd just this once. Even if it's bungled, just consider it a performance at the uncle's birthday banquet to liven up the event…
