The Game of Global Mining-Chapter 418 - 328: Anticipating Beelzebub’s Power (2)
Chun immediately perked up: "Can we sell it?"
Aileen laughed, "It doesn’t matter. Even if we can’t sell it, it’s a very useful herb. We can use it as a strategic reserve for ourselves."
Thinking of the village chief’s connections, Chun felt a bit helpless, "Then prepare to use it ourselves. By the way, how’s Amy doing?"
Aileen said solemnly, "No remarkable performance at the moment; she’s even fallen a bit behind compared to before. I don’t know what the Dark Soul Witch is planning."
Chun frowned but could only think positively, "With the old woman’s experience, she was too excellent and got harmed by her companions, so maybe she feels the jealousy of other students towards Amy and is deliberately holding back?"
Aileen suddenly froze, "I hope so..."
As they spoke, a dance came to an end — System prompt: Congratulations! You’ve gained the blessing of the Hundred Beauties’ Seductive Dance, temporarily +10 to your Spirit, +100 to your Illusion Skill Value, and +300 to your Mana. The recovery speed of Illusion Mana temporarily increases by 30%. Your proficiency in Dance of Evil Spirits has improved.
Chun was completely shocked, "So dancing has this effect?!"
Aileen laughed, "This effect only occurs with the blessing of the dance hall! As our space becomes more perfect, the blessing effect will be stronger."
Chun eagerly asked, "How do we perfect the space?"
Aileen laughed, "Of course, by figuring out how to transform the Black Water dumped in here by the Guardian God like it’s garbage! Crystal Ore can only transform greedy desires, so we need to use ours sparingly and not consider it for now. But the dance hall can transform lustful desires — lust also includes the pursuit of beauty, which is why the gardens and lakes in this space exist..."
Ah, so that’s it! If it’s like this even before reaching the Divine Domain, what would it be like after?
Just then, a scolding voice came from the seaward sky, "Inspection! Inspection!!"
— System prompt: Warning! Your body encounters external interference and is about to awaken.
Chun immediately understood, "Dear, I’m going to wake up now."
Aileen was extremely displeased, "Dear, be careful in handling it."
The next moment, Chun opened his eyes and saw several strong and imposing jailers entering.
Chun guessed they were likely sent by the Ten Lords to interfere with his "Astrology," but this cell had no doors or windows, so they could only teleport in. Meanwhile, with his Great Explorer ability of teleportation and the backing of Grandmaster-level Spatial Technique... Forget it, just a thought.
The jailers barked, "Stand up! Inspection!"
Then various magical instruments scanned the cell. They even used an instrument to imbue the walls with an unknown energy flow.
Finally, the jailers found nothing and instantly teleported away.
Chun couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking they were going to confiscate his wine!
Turns out, after all, it’s a game and hasn’t reached the point of openly confiscating players’ belongings.
Now imagine how delighted the Ten Lords were to have broken his Astrology? Forget it, time to read a book.
Aileen was indignant, "Dear, we must do something, or they’ll keep coming for checks, and we won’t be able to love each other properly!"
Chun’s lower abdomen tensed up; so Aileen’s plan was for them to enjoy marital bliss after the dance? No wonder she’s so upset! When she gets angry, it’s like dealing with Evil Spirits, and that’s not good!
Chun asked, "Besides waiting for the Mermaid to save us, what can we do in the cell?"
Aileen sneered, "According to information from Southern Canyon Village, the Mermaid is still in Black Iron City Church meeting queuing nobles to consolidate her status and won’t save us for a while. However, didn’t the old nanny from the church give us a book to deal with Beelzebub? The old nanny said Beelzebub’s infiltration is extremely deep and omnipresent, so let’s see if Beelzebub can come to the cell?"
Chun’s heart skipped a beat! "Toilet Cleaning Insights"? The old nanny said it countered Beelzebub with multiplied offense and defense, but the downside is that learning this skill makes you a target for Beelzebub! No way to use it at all.
But this is a high-level cell; if Beelzebub notices this, it must be really strong, and it could cause some trouble in the cell. As long as the trouble’s big enough, it gives the Mermaid another reason to bail him out!
As for his alt, there’s the Golden Divine Throne with a Divine Domain, so Beelzebub is unlikely there, unaffected.
So the immediate task was comforting Aileen, "Alright, let’s learn it! The sooner the better..."
— System prompt: You are about to use the skill book "Toilet Cleaning Insights." Once learned, you’ll be attacked by Beelzebub. Do you wish to learn?
The more the warnings, the stronger Beelzebub is, learn!
— System prompt: You have learned "Toilet Cleaning Insights," and the skill gains a bonus from the Cleaner Fish profession.
At the same time, there was a prompt from the alt — System prompt: Through Soul Sharing, you have learned the main body’s "Toilet Cleaning Insights."
Ah, great, initially it was just a few times amplified offense and defense, now there’s a professional bonus too, time to have some fun!
Aileen laughed, "Then let’s look forward to Beelzebub’s performance..."
While waiting, keep reading.

At this time, Michael donned a clown costume, leading 100 disguised clowns from the bar in a parade and dance, achieving unprecedented success, bringing laughter and respect from the citizens.
But Michael was a bit uneasy; he had just received a report from Sariel that Chun was up to something in the cell.
Then another report from Sariel came, "Boss, I got that guy awake and checked the cell, nothing unusual."
Michael was puzzled, "He should know the cell is monitored; what’s he doing exactly?"
Sariel snorted, "Maybe because he knows he’s monitored, he’s deliberately doing something strange to mess with our judgment? But it doesn’t matter; however many little tricks, he’s still stuck in prison."
Michael said sternly, "Sariel, you might want to be careful. There’s a chance that by nightfall, pirates might come causing trouble."
Sariel laughed, "Is that my job to worry about? Let them come."
Finally, Michael’s parade ended, and he returned to the Starlight Inn amidst the clowns’ support.
Celia smiled, "No wonder you’re the Sage Lord; the citizens were not just unmocking but even moved."
Michael felt the mentor’s favorable impression was right on point, first exchanging a few pleasantries, then pulling out the textbook, turning to the Chapter where Chun was drinking and learning to seek guidance.
"Ms. Celia, is it necessary to drink to learn this Chapter?"
Celia was momentarily stunned, then said meaningfully, "Astrology is a complex predictive study, and the Astrologer’s state is crucial. Whatever I say is pointless; you need to study relevant ancient literature to find a fit for your understanding..."
Michael was annoyed by such "correct nonsense," but studying ancient literature?
Michael used this as a reason to talk, "Ms. Celia, learning alone isn’t enough; I want more people to learn this knowledge. I intend to start an archaeological study group, how about it?"
Celia looked gratified, "Sage Lord is so generous, but it’s a pity our clown gentlemen don’t seem like they want to study."
Clown Heiwa immediately stepped up, "Study! I’m willing to learn! Knowledge is power, not learning would be failing Sage Lord’s teachings..."
All the clowns paused for a moment, then responded as well, "Learning makes me happy..."
Michael was very pleased, "I’ll pay for the library fees!"
Then he returned to the Ten Lords Chat Group, "Everyone, I’ve successfully led archaeological studies at the Golden Divine Throne. Now it’s your turn..."
... 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
The next moment, the Eye of Dibilon from Chun’s alt received the Earth Mother’s voice, "Successfully initiated a study activity."
Chun suddenly woke up, why do I keep falling asleep?
