The Game of Global Mining-Chapter 410 - 324: Finally Unraveling Chun’s Secret_3
Michael’s scalp tingled! Perhaps, Raphael, who is more feminine, should learn it! But he can’t come here...
Celia’s expression suddenly turned mysterious: "Actually, I also want to know if it works for male students. I do have a way, but it requires Sage Lord’s personal influence."
Michael inquired, "Madam, please speak?"
Celia whispered, "Why not host a dance festival and let the whole city dance?"
Michael was dumbfounded. What event had been triggered? Why does simply asking her to learn astrology require such a big fuss?
Michael was quite troubled: "It’s rather troublesome."
Celia laughed and said, "Others come to the tavern to erase worries, but I’ve added to your woes. I apologize. How about I join you for a few drinks?"
She’s offering company? Another triggered event?
Michael dared not refuse: "Thank you, madam..."
...
Meanwhile, Chun, who was bored reading in the cell, suddenly received a message on his alt.
Chun immediately switched to his alt, hearing Earth’s Mother’s voice through the Eye of Dibilon: "Contact Mr. Clown and ask him to come in clown attire and drink at my shop, quickly!"
Chun was startled. What is happening?
He quickly made Hua vibrate the Ugly Emperor’s tie, who was leisurely shopping (scavenging) and immediately covered himself with a newspaper: "What’s up?"
Chun wrote: "Put on clown attire and go to Celia’s Tavern quickly..."
Ugly Emperor chuckled: "I get to drink again."
Chun added: "But drink the cheapest Tapioca Burn!"
Ugly Emperor laughed: "Don’t worry, I won’t let anyone suspect I’ve suddenly come into money."
The next moment, Ugly Emperor appeared in the tavern, an ever-curious Chun almost dropping his eyes—it was Michael, the First Sage!
Holy Shit Holy Shit! Someone of his standing shouldn’t appear in such a fly-infested dive. There was only one possibility; he must have tracked here!? He’s so damn impressive!! Have I left any traces?
Ugly Emperor greeted, "Madam Celia, one cup... Tapioca Burn!"
Celia smiled and said, "Alright, Mr. Clown."
...
At this moment, Michael was puzzled, suddenly seeing a clown walk in. He knew the clown’s purpose was to add a bit of humor to this solemn city, to liven up the atmosphere. The system’s deduction showed that such a profession couldn’t be done by a capable young gentleman, but only by incapable elders, adding a hint of... melancholy?
Then the clown saw him, surprised and greeted: "It’s the esteemed Sage Lord! Pardon me, I’ll sit farther."
Michael chuckled politely, pretty words needed saying: "No need, we are all citizens of the Golden Divine Throne, all equal!"
Celia also laughed: "As expected of Sage Lord, truly humble and approachable."
Michael always enjoyed hearing such compliments: "Madam flatters me, equality and kindness are what Sage is all about."
Celia laughed: "I know you, as a Sage, find dancing troublesome. Why not try experiencing commoners’ life?"
Experiencing commoners?
Michael was startled. Does it mean... that wearing clown attire to dance would disguise me? No, this is a game, NPCs would still know... Wait!
Looking at the makeup on the clown’s face, Michael’s heart sparked. This makeup was very similar to the inexplicable makeup on Chun’s face!
Suddenly, Michael realized! He understood! The makeup on Chun’s face was clown makeup, or rather, male dancer makeup! That’s why he wore this makeup to fight in Gem City. The Astrology Shop’s old lady followed him to Gem City...
So the answer is clear, to learn astrology, one’s face must be painted as a male dancer—the makeup and dancers are a standard of Primitive Witchcraft, naturally related to astrology! The mentor has already hinted at the answer, finally uncovering Chun’s secret!
Michael was ecstatic: "Alright, madam! Mr. Clown, I want to wear clown attire too!"
The clown was shocked: "Why?"
Michael instantly thought of a grand excuse that couldn’t possibly be mocked: "It’s to experience the life of the lower classes, to express care for them!"
Celia applauded: "As expected of Sage Sir!"
The clown was dumbfounded: "But I only have this one set, it’s very dirty and smelly..."
Celia said: "There’s a tailor shop in the city, we can order multiple sets!"
Order multiple sets? Right, more participants mean less ridicule!
Michael instantly awakened: "Then I’ll order one hundred sets. How about hosting a clown activity festival?"
Celia laughed and shouted to the tavern full of patrons: "Dear guests, our First Sage Lord wishes to express care for the lower classes... Would everyone like to wear clown attire and conduct activities? On event day, this tavern offers a free cup of Tapioca Burn~~"
The whole tavern clapped: "As expected of the First Sage Lord, so wise~~~"
Michael’s heart melted—notably the mentor, who even funded free drinks for my event...
...
Meanwhile, Chun who was observing backstage was confused. What is all this? It’s like I haven’t been exposed?
Earth’s Mother’s voice came through the Eye of Dibilon: "See that, the festival is formed!"
Chun was confused: "But what I wanted was a reading festival, not a clown festival?"
Earth Mother laughed: "Festivals are festivals, using completely unrelated matters at first, gradually one can transition to the true goal. Next comes a drinking festival, then a reading festival. Once accustomed, people won’t find it abrupt or suspicious..."
Chun suddenly realized, "So that’s it!"
