The Game of Global Mining-Chapter 403 - 319: Empire Technology Relies on Archaeology Too
The ruins that can be well preserved are likely swallowed by an earthquake or tsunami into the sea, two major cities on the front line!
One being the Lighthouse Radiance City, a Divine Race territory, and the other being Dark Cloud Sea Cliff City, a Demon Race territory. So what needs to be done now is to compare them with the current map of the Golden Empire, and then form an archaeological adventure group in the Golden Empire!
As for the members, Chun suddenly thought of Moss, who had just immigrated to the empire. Two centenarians forming a group, what’s wrong with that?
But Moss being targeted by him as soon as he arrived, would that raise suspicion? Then it depends on whether there are any players in the Golden Empire. If there are only Michael and a few major players, it would be a single-player otherworld, and they can’t manage it all, can they?
Alright, wait for Old Deng to finish his performance.
Chun started to greet Earth Lotus: "Earth Lotus, I’m here."
Earth Lotus replied, "Father, I’m still working hard to drill, and I can already feel some weak points in space, striving for full penetration. Just haven’t seen Earth Mother appear."
No Earth Mother in Space City? Impossible, she supported me by sacrificing an eye of her son. Maybe it’s just not the right time to meet?
Chun felt sorry: "You’ve worked so hard."
Earth Lotus laughed: "It’s not hard, the old man took me around the whole city, it’s fascinating. But the people here seem a bit strange."
Chun was surprised: "What’s strange?"
Earth Lotus said: "Their smiles don’t seem sincere."
Chun laughed: "Not many laugh in Hell."
Earth Lotus said: "But the smiles in Hell are genuine, whether malicious or lecherous."
Holy Shit, wait!
Chun was taken aback: "Where did you learn that word?"
"From those shareholder aunties..."
Ah, Chun’s resources were depleted, and thinking of those few a sense of mental and physical exhaustion arose.
Chun said: "We should study hard and learn archaeology, to see the more prosperous past of human civilization, how about that?"
"Sure."
Finally, the Ugly Emperor finished his performance and returned to the little room.
"So, this is a day in the life of the Golden Divine Throne, how do you feel about it?"
Chun also waited a while: "Feeling quite alright, it also piques my interest in the history of the empire. I am a great explorer by nature, and I want to conduct archaeology on the ancient ruins of the empire."
Ugly Emperor was surprised: "Is this your second plan?"
No, there was no such plan, just a sudden idea from listening to Zhou Qing.
"Yes, since saving the City Beauty requires waiting for the right time, why not create the opportunity? I believe there are many treasures buried from the era of the former empire."
Ugly Emperor lamented: "That’s what others think too. The largest guild in the empire is the Adventurer’s Guild, packed with powerful individuals for this task. In fact, the discovery of the new world on the Golden Continent is the result of archaeology. The empire’s technological breakthroughs also rely on archaeology."
Chun was shocked: "Really? The empire has no technology?"
Ugly Emperor laughed and asked: "So far, what’s the strongest technology you’ve encountered?"
Chun responded without hesitation: "The Silver Queen warship?"
Ugly Emperor said: "Archaeologically derived, still not fully understood. If my goal wasn’t to make money to enter the Golden Divine Throne, I’d like to do archaeology too, it’s not too late, is it?"
Chun was surprised: "Aren’t you the former Guardian God, do you need archaeology to understand the empire?"
Ugly Emperor quietly replied: "The Guardian God is the Faith God, knowledge and power come from the nurturing of believers. In other words, it’s a temporary God! There’s a difference compared to those truly long-lived creatures that have experienced the river of time. Moreover, the Imperial Emperor is very mysterious, with a forbidden skill, no current gods or demons speak of him. If I want to observe the world, I need to figure him out."
Chun’s heart skipped a beat, perhaps already guessing who the Emperor is, surely the first artificial intelligence born from the game!
If the time span of these two games is a millennium, then the Emperor might have become a god for a millennium, a millennia-old Six!
Chun then recalled what the Canyon Village Chief said about antiques possessing the Power of Space-Time to repair divine artifacts. That might also be the chief misapplying ancient texts, not understanding the true use of antiques, crudely smashing them... In short, archaeology is imperative.
Chun asked: "Do you know Moss?"
Ugly Emperor was surprised: "Of course, recently immigrated to the empire, right? But no real interaction."
Chun said: "No, you must interact, can you go find Moss now? Two people form a group!"
Ugly Emperor laughed, surprised: "Can he even move?"
Chun lamented: "Just to meet an old friend. You’re a gang leader in Black Iron City, he’s a newcomer in Black Iron City, your meeting is reasonable."
Ugly Emperor said: "Alright, newcomers usually stay at the Imperial Island City, Aislan Island, for further assessment, sort of like a prison. I stayed on the Island City for a year when I immigrated. But..."
Ugly Emperor suddenly looked troubled: "Traveling from the Golden Divine Throne to the continent requires teleportation, which is expensive..."
Chun was stunned: "How much?"
"30,000 mining coins to teleport to the Empire Square, 10,000 mining coins from Empire Square to Island City, 80,000 for a round trip."
Chun was shocked speechless, but—isn’t this more than a matter of cost?
Chun struggled to ask: "You don’t have 80,000?"
Ugly Emperor trembled as he reached for his pocket: "After paying this month’s rent, performance management fee, donation fee, only 3,000 left..."
Holy Shit! Now I don’t want to study the empire’s history, I just want to study this Golden Divine Throne...
Chun was anxious: "With your ability, is it so hard to make money here?"
Ugly Emperor lamented: "Difficult! It’s hard to put into words."
Alright, Chun also admits no business genius, not fit to advise someone who built their way up to a gang leader now scavenging newspapers. The immediate urgency is not about how to make 80,000 from 3,000, but that there is only one way: temporary support!
That is, believing that Earth Mother is present!
Chun asked: "Suppose, if, a goddess similar to you, no aristocratic background, secretly hiding her identity into this Golden Divine Throne, how should she develop?"
Ugly Emperor chuckled: "Is she pretty?"
Chun thought of the young cow, the fiery lips that could fly, and his heart throbbed...
"Pretty!"
Ugly Emperor said: "Then it’s simple—"
Mid-sentence, the Ugly Emperor realized: "You mean the goddess blessing you?"
Chun said: "Uh-huh, I believe she is certainly present!"
Ugly Emperor’s whole body shuddered: "Wait for me!"
With those words, he removed the clown outfit again, then started washing his face beside the sink, shaving, applying soap, and once again put on his scavenger-specific gentleman outfit, sprayed his sleeves with perfume...
Finally, a spirit-renewed gentleman, like a manor housekeeper, appeared!
Ugly Emperor was very satisfied with his appearance: "How is it?"
Chun could only compliment him: "Handsome!"
Ugly Emperor pinned Hua into his bow tie again: "Let’s go, tavern. On the road, don’t type, if we encounter her, just give me a nudge."
Holy Shit, does this mean Earth Mother also starts as a dancer?
Chun recalled the tragic story of the Dark Soul Witch Barbara, Vivian’s unsolved poison, and Aileen... In short, I am indeed fated with dancers.
To aid Ugly Emperor’s search, Chun decided to bring out the Eye of Dibilon again. Thus, again on the hillside, the Vine sprouted a bud, and the Eye of Dibilon emitted a faint wave.
Now, it being midnight in the game, with the cover of night, Chun decided to boldly keep the eye visible. Because of caution earlier, he retracted the divine artifact on not receiving feedback.
Soon, Ugly Emperor briskly arrived at a bar that didn’t look too fancy.
Chun was a bit speechless, what was he thinking? So sure the goddess could only mix at this level?
But the next moment, a female shopkeeper sitting at the counter grabbed Chun’s attention with lipstick! Her lipstick was evidently a rune lipstick! And her demeanor was very much like the young cow~~~
Holy Shit, is it her? Found her right away, so smoothly?
