The Game of Global Mining
Chapter 645 - 494: Homesick—Returning to the Village
Chun was awakened by the system notification at midnight:
——System notification: It's now April 22, 0:00 AM, which is 12 PM in Golden Continent time...
——System notification: You've received a daily salary of 100 Mining Coins from the Honorary Elder of Southern Canyon Village, and a daily salary of 200 Mining Coins from the second mate of the Black Iron Blade.

...
Ah, that nap was really refreshing, the residual effect of the Huangjiu was really strong, slept deeply!
Chun logged in and saw Mina cuddled with him, sleeping soundly in the outdoor garden. No idea how long they've been messing around. Well, Mina has indeed worked hard.
But Aileen doesn't seem to be around, went to work?
Chun wanted to get up, but his arm was pinned down by Mina. Wouldn't this wake her up?
The key point is, Chun suddenly realized he didn't know what to do?
Better call Zhou Qing to ask, she's probably awake, and even if she's asleep, it's okay to wake her up.
Zhou Qing indeed wasn't asleep: "Brother Chun, good morning!"
Chun laughed: "It's just 0:00, that's really early! By the way, does Moore have the new list for Bronze City? It's okay if not, just don't push him too hard."
"I'll go ask."
Talking about the list, Chun then thought of the rankings, checking it out.
Looking at it, he was still ranked 11, Moore 12, that Curry Tata War God 13.
Chun suddenly remembered the five Divine Fall Winds he met outside Gem City yesterday; they were around 1500. Now?
A check showed 150 to 200!
Holy shit! Such a big leap in rankings. The key point is yesterday Gem City had so many incidents; the Ten Lords must suspect them and want to find them? Isn't this putting them in trouble?
Zhou Qing replied helplessly: "Brother Chun, sorry, Moore is busy, he's decided to speed up the progress!"
Chun was anxious: "Don't, I've already said don't push, let him develop naturally."
Zhou Qing laughed: "Relax, he's a professional player, he has his own pace, won't be pushed."
Alright. Only thing is, the two Divine Artifacts I gave aren't very decent. Hope he paces himself and doesn't get too obsessed with the FBI.
Chun then asked: "I just took a look at the rankings. Our China District has five Mage players in the top 200! Are they outstanding?"
Zhou Qing laughed: "The Royal Command Center is currently discussing contacting them for this matter. They're indeed amazing, National Service Five Scattered People, many are more aware than professional players. But they had conflicts with big guilds before, not very sociable."
Chun sighed: "My Little Demon caused a bit of a stir in Gem City, their rankings have jumped so fast, it's easy for the Ten Lords to misunderstand them..."
Zhou Qing lamented: "Yes, they are such talented individuals. If we can help, we should lend a hand, but... trust in the strength of the Five Scattered People, we may not even find a place to help."
Chun sighed: "Just do your best."
Zhou Qing laughed again: "By the way, Great God and his gang of 100 have boarded the Black Iron Flower warship to search for the missing Empire warship, they've been out for five hours already. We all think, just on their reputation alone, there's no way they could board the Black Iron Flower warship, right? Isn't this Brother Chun's influence?"
Chun was truly surprised. The only possibility for Fafnir finding the missing warship was secretly colluding with the Dark Remia! That would make the achievement and prestige come so easily.
But even if Zhou Qing was asking, one should still be low-key!
Chun smiled wryly: "Leader, believe in Great God's ability, I've shut myself in for 11 days now, where would there be such influence?"
Zhou Qing laughed: "Yet others don't believe it? Besides, Black Iron City's Night Rose Tavern posted a new advertisement, hiring that Michelin baker, wasn't this arranged by Brother Chun?"
Holy Shit, Vivian's actions are so fast! But, even with evidence and testimony, one can't admit to it?
Chun was helplessly amused: "Can you not assume everything is arranged by me? I'm under a lot of pressure!"
Zhou Qing laughed: "Ah, sorry for pressuring Brother Chun. By the way, how's my improved version of vinegar fish?"
Chun praised: "Very good, I think it has great potential for improvement..."
Zhou Qing laughed: "Certainly can't continue eating it tomorrow? I think I should let my culinary skills mature and settle."
"Alright then, I shall refine my taste and we'll have ordinary home-style dishes tomorrow."
...
During the chat, Aileen finally appeared: "Ah, dear, have you rested well?"
Chun laughed: "I've rested well, haven't something happened during these hours?"
Aileen smiled: "Nothing at all, I was monitoring Bilenna Village and Lady Mei's underwater, but the view there isn't very clear."
Uh, after all these hours, still nothing to do? Does the Andariel family not even retaliate a bit? Or are they too scared by the Ten Lords to dare come?
Speaking of Bilenna Village, Chun instantly felt a surge of homesickness and wanted to return for a look. After all, the Nightmare perspective is entirely different, could solve some villagers' mental issues. Also take a look at Sherry, Six's progress.
Additionally, Vivian only hired a baker and didn't say she could buy the baguette recipe. Clearly, she couldn't buy the formula, hence hired temporarily to stabilize. I'll go back and take a look, maybe I could hide behind the baker and glean how he makes the baguette with my soul advantage.
"Aileen, can you transport me directly to Bilenna, please?"
Aileen smiled: "Of course! Anywhere there's my Magic Mirror and clone can do it, even Crystal Bat places."
This upgrade in transportation is beyond convenient!
Chun had to shake Mina: "Mina, have you rested well?"
Mina woke up instantly, filled with Spirit: "Master, I've rested well, can continue serving both masters!"
What on earth are you thinking about all the time? Really just a Dream Charm! There's no choice but to let her charm me, steadfastly not letting her charm others...
With Aileen's Magic Mirror Transmission activated again, Chun and Mina were sent to Bilenna in Southern Canyon Village.
Currently, it's the afternoon nap time after lunch in the village. Bilenna, dressed in a cool Dance Dress, was lounging on the bed, making simple body movements.
Bilenna languidly said: "I can't see you or hear you, ignore me, if nothing's up maybe go to the city to find Amy, chat with the Dark Soul Witch, or—"
Finishing this, Bilenna solemnly added: "Investigate the mirror in the Count's Mansion, that's the original version!"
Holy Shit! I clearly had nothing to do, suddenly so much?
