The Game of Global Mining

Chapter 753 - 590: Jenny’s Fishing Line?

Dragon Slayer Battle Team Headquarters.

Brother Tao suddenly received a text from Beauty Zhou, excitedly—not, it was getting a text from Brother Chun asking about Moore’s condition that made him excited.

Although Moore’s counterattack against the Ten Lords did bring a bit of glory and put them on the trending list, boosting the morale for the China District, the backlash of being wanted was truly unbearable.

Brother Tao would occasionally head to Moore’s single room to keep tabs on Moore’s condition. There was no update; Moore used up the Nine-headed Coffin Puller, and the side effect was a near-total paralysis, relying on a robot given by the NPC spy to guard the tent outside.

This past gaming night, outside the abandoned mine, the sounds of beasts howling at night resonated, and inside, there were the rustling sounds of bats, rats, and unknown creatures... Moore shivered in fear the entire night. To avoid the unfamiliar magical beast appearing at the cave entrance, he used up his physical strength to drag the tent over a hundred meters deeper into the mine.

Just when he wanted to curse out Boss Moss for being perfunctory without setting up deep enough, terrifying sounds came from the depths of the mine. Helpless, Moore had to take medicine to drag the tent back to the cave entrance... What a hassle it was.

Brother Tao shivered for Moore too, completely helpless.

Now, Brother Chun’s text—though it merely inquired—but with Brother Chun’s usual inexplicable mysteriousness, his concern was just a modest way of speaking... In any case, Brother Tao was invigorated and went to Moore’s single room again.

Moore, exhausted, pointed at the tray: "Brother Tao, I’m done eating, take it away."

Brother Tao was excited: "No, Brother Chun sent a message..."

Moore shook all over: "What did Brother Chun say?"

"Be careful, exercise your creativity!"

Moore was taken aback: "That’s it?"

Brother Tao sneered: "Brother Chun said the same eight words to the Great God Team, look at their performance, they’re incredible, they’re just a bunch of internet cafe amateurs!"

Moore took a deep breath: "I understand, Brother Tao, don’t come in all night to bother me."

Brother Tao said slyly: "What’s the big deal, wasn’t it just that day I caught you ogling beauties? It’s normal for young people, just don’t dirty the machines—"

Moore was both embarrassed and angry, smashing the tray: "Get out!!!"

In any case, Moore decided that since his body couldn’t move, he’d be bold with his soul, taking advantage of fewer monsters in the daylight, daringly project out-of-body, randomly possessing a bat or mouse or whatever. Although possession control wasn’t a Nightmare’s racial specialty, starting practice now...

...

Black Iron City.

The Peeping Immortal also accompanied Amy, the Wandering Nun, and Mary the Nun on a task all night, and had a big harvest from the task line.

Sending Amy home to sleep, he was too tired to eat, hurried to the Night Rose Tavern to meet up with the Fishing Immortal.

After all, the Fishing Immortal’s task was to investigate the small boat in the canyon, but the boat’s number was burned by some mysterious force, and they’d asked all the taverns in the city without any clues. Only the Night Rose Tavern wasn’t asked, because the Night Rose Tavern had been fully occupied with making baguettes these past two days, with lines inside and outside the store, and Vivian hardly appeared at the counter.

And now it was morning opening time at the Night Rose Tavern, with no one in line, and the only time to catch Vivian appearing at the counter.

The door opened!

The Peeping and Fishing rushed in immediately, just in time to see Vivian in an apron and chef’s hat, with an unadorned face.

Accustomed to Vivian’s glamorous Dancing Girl form, the Peeping was instantly disoriented: "Miss Vivian..."

Vivian greeted: "Good morning Vice President, these days I’ve had too many orders, so busy."

The Peeping didn’t waste words: "I know Miss Vivian is busy, so I came to ask for a favor to inquire something..."

Vivian glanced at the photo evidence of the small boat, paused: "No other tavern found out?"

"No!"

Vivian smiled and asked: "Then who do you think it is?"

The Peeping sighed: "I couldn’t possibly think it’s the City Beauty, although I know she’s the only one with that capability."

Vivian sighed: "Then you should go find her."

The Peeping incredulous and excited: "With our status, we can find her? Isn’t that slander without evidence?"

Vivian sighed: "You’re the Vice President of Shangri-La Commerce Association. As for slander, can’t you change your thinking? For example, suspect someone impersonates her or something, she would surely have thoughts if she knew."

The Peeping had an epiphany: "Thank you for the hint, Miss Vivian."

Vivian snorted: "No, she might get angry, don’t say I said it. I’m going back to work, you should go work too."

"Sorry to bother."

Leaving the tavern, the Fishing Immortal praised: "Awesome! Peeping, you’re truly the ace of the task team. She’s better than all the city taverns put together!"

The Peeping Immortal smiled proudly: "The core of task flow is to concentrate resources on understanding one NPC, which is much stronger than spreading your efforts throughout the city building reputations everywhere."

The Fishing Immortal wondered: "How do you decide which NPC is worth concentrating resources on?"

The Peeping laughed: "Of course, it’s about cutting Chun’s line, as long as others have paved the way, it saves me a lot of resources..."

While laughing, a team member from the task group reported: "Leader, in Gem City, we discovered an NPC named Jenny developed a woven fishing line that closely resembles the fishing line binding on the Fishing Immortal’s small boat, but more advanced."

The Peeping suddenly froze: "Jenny? The one among the 4 NPCs triggered in the China District the other night, fishing nonstop on the coast?"

"Yes, 3 NPCs fishing, 1 NPC painting. Then Raphael of the Ten Lords dispatched troops to clear the field."

The Fishing Immortal exclaimed: "Could it be, the clue’s on the Gem City side?"

The Peeping sighed: "Looks like this task line is quite grand indeed, so we must get the City Beauty’s help."

The Fishing Immortal resolved: "Indeed, this is the biggest fish!"

...

Ten Lords Chat Group, after breakfast, the Ten Lords greeted each other good morning.

Michael asked: "Uriel, morning?"

Uriel replied sullenly: "Morning."

Sela laughed: "Look, as soon as the boss arrives, he asks Uriel. Indeed, the boss is the most impatient."

Gabriel laughed: "Exactly, pretending to care about Uriel, letting Uriel rest, but actually, he hopes Uriel works non-stop."

Uriel replied sullenly: "Yeah, that’s why I know the boss’s true thoughts, never a moment to relax."

Michael was almost laughing and crying: "Alright, since that’s what you all think, so be it."

Sariel laughed: "Gabriel, I’m curious about the situation after the fly’s tenfold dosage, hurry and show us the surveillance."

Gabriel laughed: "I’m busy adjusting the surveillance, and yes, it’s online at 6 o’clock sharp again this time!"

Then they all laughed: "He’s like this and still harasses women?"

Sariel frowned: "I feel... Don’t you think he’s not that miserable, at least his fingers can still move?"

Sela laughed: "Oh, the forum’s atmosphere isn’t right, in the Curry District, they see Chun running diarrheal, and discuss if the Tata War God’s ranking can surpass Chun..."
