The Game of Global Mining

Chun wasn't joking when he told the Siren to learn forging, after all, he had learned earlier that even a Grandmaster couldn't create Sacred or Divine Artifacts without inspiration.

When Tie had just resurrected, he clearly had inspiration, and after rushing to the Grandmaster he got inspired again, crafting two rings with consecutive inspirations. It's likely he'll lead a mundane life for a long time before producing anything again. Therefore, it's very necessary to cultivate more Masters and Grandmasters. As long as there's enough Magic Gold, it's almost like wholesale Grandmasters.

The Siren knows about a lot of meteors, so she should be given something to do, it's better than her going out causing trouble...

At this moment, Old Whale suddenly became tense: "I sense a powerful threat!"

Chun was shocked: "Is there a Sea Monster here?"

The Siren came to her senses: "Oh, it's probably a type of Void Creature, let's temporarily call it a Void Sea Monster. It's not interested in our Necromancer Ship, but Old Whale's flesh is attracting it."

Chun was amazed: "Can we beat it?"

The Siren touched her throat: "If my vocal cords were intact, I might be able to drive it away, but now, I can't say for sure..."

Chun asked again: "Does our ship have an armed cannon?"

The Siren laughed: "The cannon has rusted into scrap metal long ago, and even my revival abilities can't bring back cannons — perhaps, if we try hard enough we can escape!"

For safety, it might be best to run if we can...

Aileen snorted coldly: "Why run? We can't let that Bitch think we rely on her for everything, she might betray us once she's healed! We have the Four Sea Souls, let's possess Old Whale again, and first kill a Sea Monster to make a statement to her!"

Holy Shit... what level is your Power of Green? But you have a point!

Alright, instead of consuming stamina while fleeing, it's better to save our strength for a fight first; if we really can't win, we can escape then...

Chun made up his mind: "Old Whale, let's fight this Sea Monster together!"

Old Whale wasn't scared either: "Alright, I've wanted to taste Void meat!"

That's the spirit of a foodie!

Chun pulled out a bottle of Tapioca Burn and gulped it down rapidly!

—— System Alert: You have gained an attribute bonus from the special Tapioca Burn, temporarily increasing maximum Physical Strength by 168%, and Physical Recovery Speed is enhanced. Resisting fear, trembling, and coldness. Negative status includes blurred vision and unsteady movements. Duration: Approximately 12 hours.

The world spun, and darkness encroached!

—— System Alert: You are drunk and entering a Soul state.

Then, with a flash of light, Aileen and the Four Sea Souls appeared: "Let's go!"

Welcome back to the familiar Soul state! But the last time the drunken state lasted a day, now it's 12 hours, meaning my tolerance is increasing?

Chun suddenly wondered whether it's this Centennial Tapioca Burn that causes the out-of-body experience, or if any alcohol when drunk could do the same?

If it's truly unique to Tapioca Burn, then the value of Old Wine is beyond estimation!

However, thinking about his leg hair and other things, Chun felt a bit...

With a change of scene, Chun entered the Soul World of Old Whale's twilight sea again.

Old Whale was very excited: "Let's fight together!"

—— System Alert: You and Aileen are fully possessing Old Whale's body, able to control Old Whale's actions. You have gained Old Whale's passive skill: Sonar.

The familiar and complex "submarine" multi-map interface appeared again.

However, Chun is still the same as always, whereas Aileen has changed significantly!

"Aileen, I'll leave the controls to you!"

Aileen was spirited: "Of course it's the Four Sea Souls Possession!"

—— System Alert: You have activated the Sea Soul of Tuna, Giant-tooth Shark, Sea Emperor Crab, and giant electric ray, possessing Old Whale. Old Whale's attributes are greatly enhanced!

Aileen laughed excitedly: "Feeling this power, speed, and agility, it's as surging as the waves, something neither humans nor bats can fully appreciate, perhaps I am inspired now, let me compose a Whale Dance to warm-up!"

Oh? Being an idol does make a difference, she can even create!

Chun fully supported: "Go for it! I believe in you!"

In the next moment, Old Whale began spinning, rolling, and then leaping like a dolphin, as one wave ceased, another wave rose. The sound was also different — just like the audio bouncing on a music player!

Aileen laughed heartily: "I feel great!"

Sonar started giving warnings — Alert! A powerful threat is approaching!

Aileen was still enthusiastic: "Come on, this dance needs a partner to make it exciting!"

The opponent approached, a giant monster shimmering with electric light resembling a manta ray, its wingspan alone exceeded the length of Old Whale by double!

If it were before, this electrically charged creature would certainly disadvantage Old Whale, but now with the soul of the giant electric ray also charged with electricity, who's afraid of whom?

Chun could understand this creature's structure too, its wings are bloated, the main body can't compare to Old Whale!

Aileen completely ignored the opponent's approach, still dancing at her own pace. The opponent suddenly surged, instantaneously stabbing forward — Holy Shit!

This sudden underwater teleportation caused a pressure surge which instantly created a vacuum, Old Whale's movements came to a sudden stop as if frozen!

This strong?

Chun's brain went blank in shock!

Until the Electric Shock Barrier of both parties exploded with thunderous sound, then the Sea Soul Barrier followed with a series of "deflect," "deflect," and Old Whale spun, dodging the opponent's stab, and with a tail swipe — Wham!!

Chun didn't react in time, seeing the opponent being whipped into the air!

"What's happening?"

Thanks to the Sea Emperor Crab's barrier deflect? But with such a large body, how much can it deflect?

Aileen laughed heartily: "Because when I'm unable to move, it actually can't move either! It's about who moves first! Its charge was supposed to have its head move first, but I was in the Whale Dance, never intended to bite it with my head, actually my tail moved first —"

While speaking, one whip! Two whips!! Three whips!!!

Each whip erupted like an old electrician testing an electric gate with the back of his hand, the giant monster was whipped in the air and couldn't fall down!

Chun understood, the giant monster battled with its mouth, but Aileen didn't, gravely misleading the opponent.

Ultimately, the inherent attributes of Old Whale weren't bad, under Aileen's control it was like a Martial Artist or Dancer possessing "Martial Skills" or "Dancing Skills," fighting this Giant Monster was like a Warrior fighting a civilian!

No suspense, the giant monster was whipped until its electric light dispersed and blue blood spurted out, lying on the sea surface unable to move, an electric-flashing Crystal Core flew into Old Whale's mouth.

—— System Alert: Battle ended! Congratulations! You controlled Old Whale to kill the Void Electric Spike, your level increased to level 20, your Spirit has been refined through combat experience, Spirit +1, you gained recognition and appreciation from the Whale and Siren, Commanding Power +20.

—— System Alert: Your Possessing Mirror Spirit Aileen has comprehended the true essence of a Dancer, and the Dancing Girl profession has advanced to Dancing Girl!
