The Game of Global Mining-Chapter 408 - 324: Finally Unraveling Chun’s Secret
Chun was astonished: "Where did you get the pirate treasure map?"
Fafnir wrote: "I talked to Aziza! I had a great private chat with her."
Ah, using the board’s secret command to chat with her? Aziza knows about my business on Evil Spirit Island. Will she reveal Evil Spirit Island? Exposing me is a minor issue, but it’s a big deal that the island has stolen supplies from the Golden Empire’s Silver City, which can’t be mentioned...
Chun felt a bit uneasy: "So the latest book on your shelf is her favorite ’Romeo and Juliet’?"
Fafnir’s face suddenly turned displeased: "What do you care what’s on my bookshelf!"
Just moments ago, she was moved to tears, and now, what’s with this attitude?
Fafnir wrote again: "These treasure maps involve the treasures of the first Pirate King, there will definitely be a big commotion, so there will be a good show to watch."
Ah, Grandpa Pirate hadn’t dealt with this for a week, almost forgot about him.
Chun asked: "What kind of show?"
Fafnir chuckled and wrote: "For example, while the Mermaids are not in Silver City, guide the pirates to cause trouble for Silver City? The more trouble there is in Silver City, the greater the chance to redeem your crimes by making meritorious deeds."
This mindset is just like the Ugly Emperor stirring up trouble with his minions! 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
Chun was intrigued: "Then how do you explain the origin of this treasure map? It’s not like you can openly say Aziza provided the information, right?"
Fafnir laughed: "Isn’t your Bilenna from Southern Canyon Village associated with the pirates? In fact, there’s no need to explain, those noble apprentices go there to study dancing with investigation motives, everyone tacitly acknowledges her connection, and that’s enough."
Ah, I’m taking the blame!?
Chun felt uneasy: "Since it’s universally acknowledged that the pirate treasure map is related to Bilenna, and Bilenna is related to me, then naturally when pirates cause trouble in Silver City, they’ll assume it’s me creating chaos, making it even more unlikely for Silver City to release me?"
Fafnir chuckled: "The goal is to make Silver City know the pirate troubles are related to you! If they don’t release you, then the turmoil isn’t significant enough!"
Uh... isn’t this exactly the Ugly Emperor’s method of saying ’only by releasing me can you quell the chaos’? It’s somewhat risky, but it does make it easier for the mermaids to fish me out.
Chun was comforted: "Then it will be up to you."
Fafnir snorted and wrote: "And another thing, you’re getting too bold, sneaking into my room, not to mention calling me ’you’ all the time; I’m not happy."
Chun panicked: "I’m using magical typing, it’s tiring! Outside, I’d still address you as Lady Fafnir!"
Only then was Fafnir satisfied: "I’ve forgiven you! We’ve talked enough, now I should go do my morning exercises, keep a routine to act naturally."
"Okay, if anything major happens, I’ll inform you—Lady Fafnir."
Fafnir cheerfully dressed and headed out: "Got it!"
Doesn’t she brush her teeth or wash her face?
In any case, Fafnir has been contacted; next, it’s about connecting with the residences of the other three City Beauties. Only, having no interaction with them means I absolutely cannot appear easily, I’ll have to let Eve work her magic on them first...
...
At the peak of the Golden Divine Throne, the Grand Observatory.
The Empire’s Star Realm Grand Mage Hubble was observing the void.
Michael came to visit.
The Star Realm Mage was quite surprised: "Why, it’s the First Sage, what suddenly brings you here?"
Michael said: "I simply wish to inquire about astrology-related matters."
The Star Realm Mage shook his head: "Astrology isn’t something understood with just a simple inquiry, even living another hundred years, I’d never master it completely."
Michael acknowledged this statement. Compared to global mining projects that focus on financial digital currencies, its predecessor Genesis was much richer in content, including niche research tasks, such as planetary geological evolution simulations, life evolution simulations, human societal development simulations, and dream-analysis astrology predictive techniques among other esoteric subjects.
Although he didn’t expect the main system to produce any significant results from analyzing astrology, a game remains a game, where even the most mystical things will gain game rule settings.
Michael got straight to the point: "Do you know an old lady at an astrology shop in the Dark Alley District of Black Iron City?"
The Star Realm Mage paused: "Not quite sure, did she achieve something?"
If she couldn’t catch the eye of the Star Realm Mage, then it means this old lady isn’t up to standard?
Michael said: "She rewarded the wanted fugitive Chun with a divine artifact-level astrology textbook; I can hardly imagine, if she’s just a mediocre and nameless astrologer, how could she possess a divine artifact-level textbook?"
The Star Realm Mage’s eyebrows twitched, then with a wave of his hand, five or six books radiating divine artifact-level brilliance floated around him in a circle.
And he asked: "Which edition of the textbook is it?"
Michael was indeed astonished by his depth, and then quickly switched back to the chat group to check the surveillance footage Sariel had released, comparing the cover’s color.
Then confirmed the result: "The third book!"
The Star Realm Mage picked up the third book thoughtfully: "This was compiled by my mentor, the Astrology Dancer Celia, and is the most chaotic and incomprehensible among these books. Of course, initially, it was a regular publication, but through my long-term research, the book advanced to the level of a divine artifact. I believe the Black Iron Astrologer you mentioned also advanced their textbook to a divine artifact through extensive research."
Michael was amazed: "It’s rumored that ever since your birth, you’ve possessed extraordinary predictive abilities and are a genius in astrology. Do you also have a mentor?"
The Star Realm Mage smiled: "Astrology is an incredibly profound discipline, with even a notable female gender advantage in learning. I have much to humbly learn. Although I had already gained fame and was compiling textbooks at the time—"
