The Game of Global Mining

Chapter 708 - 546: Garden Market

After being pushed along for a while, and seemingly going through two teleportations, Chun finally had the hood removed in a room. Before his eyes was a massive glass wall, outside which lay a golden beach, a deep blue sea, and a lush oak forest.

Wow~~~

But the one who pushed the cart just left after removing the hood, without saying a word?

Chun hurriedly turned his head, and a camera in the room spoke: "Mr. Number 0016, the Oak Elf is at your service. You are now residing in room G4, where you can rest or go out for entertainment. During your entertainment outings, any questions can be directed to the Oak Elves along the way."

Huh? Chun felt a bit awkward talking to the camera: "You’re the Oak Elf? Are they everywhere outside?"

"Yes, sir. We Oak Elves closely monitor every guest’s condition."

Chun asked again, "What kind of entertainment is there outside?"

"You can socialize, gamble, play chess, enjoy songs and dances, theater performances, play sports, swim, fish, sunbathe... Considering your physical condition isn’t great, you can apply for a maid pushing service."

Maid? Chun’s heart skipped a beat: "Besides pushing the cart, what else do the maids do?"

"Primarily, they take care of your daily needs, but they can also flexibly meet your additional requests. If you are interested in socializing with beauties, you can go to the sunbathing beach, dance hall, or bar..."

Uh, I didn’t say I wanted to socialize with beauties!

Chun sweated: "Do I need money for entertainment here?"

"Public services are free, but special entertainment like gambling requires payment."

Chun wasn’t really interested; he wanted to save precious time for wisdom improvement and "log off" to return to the Divine Domain to use the dismantled dance hall to build the Crystal Core Tower. But showing no interest at all would be too suspicious, and the Ten Lords behind the camera would definitely become suspicious if they saw it.

Chun said, "I’ll go out to play then."

"Are you sure you don’t want to apply for a maid, sir?"

"I can still push the wheelchair myself."

After all, if I call for one and Beelzebub shows up, even if I want to start a fight, I should at least get familiar with the environment first.

As soon as he went outside, he was met with a scene of garden statues and fountains amidst a cluster of villas, clearly a palace built by the sea on the beach!

At the same time, a huge influx of energy made Chun’s heart tremble. It was a barrier! Its intensity was no less than that of the Church Court in Silver City.

Holy Shit, so how am I going to bring Mina’s soul out-of-body? But the good thing is, their Nightmare probably can’t get in either, right? What about Beelzebub? Will they appear as an Advanced maid like Libnahi?

Then Chun heard laughter and chatter in the garden ahead.

This is what they call socializing, are there big names there?

Chun pushed himself forward, seeing a lot of people, actually hundreds! He was stunned. They were obviously setting up stalls; the entire garden was like a street market!

What’s going on? Are there really that many big names, and they have such a quirk?

Chun saw a camera next to a flower bed and asked, "Oak Elf!"

The camera immediately responded: "Oak Elf at your service."

Chun asked, "What are they doing?"

"This is a garden market spontaneously formed by the guests. They display their treasures for others to admire and can also use it for exchanges."

Chun was astonished: "But, isn’t this too much like a street market?"

"But it is deeply loved by some guests, thus attracting even more guests."

Alright, just like Emperor Ling of Han, who liked to build a market in the palace for fun, making concubines and maids pretend to be vendors...

But Chun really wasn’t interested, and the reason he joined in was merely to oblige the surveillance of the Ten Lords behind the scenes. So might as well make them waste more effort monitoring.

"Aileen, I don’t know how to deal with these so-called big names, you give it a try and try to gather some information while I go back to the Divine Domain to build houses."

"Okay, my dear."

Chun thought that with his prisoner’s uniform and greasy apron, he probably wouldn’t be welcomed: "If they despise and reject you, don’t mind."

Aileen laughed, "In such a scene, if Vivian were here, it would be upward socializing; even if slapped, she wouldn’t care, right?"

"Alright."

Thus, Chun and Aileen switched places, with Chun returning to the newly built first floor of the Divine Domain.

By now, the dance hall on the first floor had been mostly dismantled and lay in ruins, with the surrounding area blurry and void.

The new Motorcycle Dancers really were creative; they lined up seven motorcycles in a row using a single beam, truly like seven flowers on one vine, and thus a demolition tractor was born.

Chun thought about how their vehicle wasn’t obviously using fuel, so what powered it? Their own soul abilities? Or my Divine Domain energy?

Mina flew over to report: "Master, the sisters have already devoured the remaining souls in the space, and there’s hope they will advance to Basic Dream Charm, and they’ve already transported the dismantled materials to the ruins in the second-floor farm. The bricks are in one pile, and the beams you need are in another pile."

Chun felt gratified: "Great, everyone has worked hard, take a break once we’re done. Aileen, send me to the second floor."

Aileen’s voice came from above: "Okay, my dear."

But the next moment, a scolding voice came from above: "How can there be such a vulgar person? Stay away from me!"

"Oak Elf, what is going on with this sanatorium? How did such people get in? What if they steal our treasures?"

"Dear guests, this is arranged by the sanatorium!"

Aileen chuckled, "I’m just looking, won’t offend at all."

Uh...

Chun sweated: "Aileen, is everything okay?"

Aileen laughed, "Really befitting of big names, even curse elegantly, it’s fine."

Okay then.

Staring at the myriad of beams stacked on the ruins, Chun immediately started construction—system prompt: You are using the Ancient Crystal Core Building Plan...

Even though these materials certainly aren’t as good as the original materials in Tifa’s Consciousness Space, and various issues will surely arise, failures even if the structure is built, only through failures will problems be found, possibly even creating something quirky...

...

Ten Lords Chat Group.

Gabriel was broadcasting the Oak Elf’s surveillance live stream in the group with interest: "Oh, he really went to the garden market, and despite being rejected, he’s quite patient and has a good temper."

Sela laughed, "Mm, players are like this, always humble and patient with NPCs. I wonder how the task ace from Shenqian is doing in delivering the fish."

Raphael laughed, "Looks like those with low reputation can’t open the game right away, how will he break the situation?"

Gabriel chuckled, "There was never a situation to break. It’s just a group of crazy NPCs playing a game."

Metatron said in a deep voice, "There’s an anomaly here, the miscellaneous workers in the dormitory behind the bikers’ dance hall haven’t gotten up, and the Supervisor is beating them awake but they aren’t waking."

Gabriel laughed, "Mm, must be related to Chun, isn’t that right Sariel?"

Sariel was stunned, "What’s the situation, the Tata War God suddenly teleported to my Silver City, is he here to farm Siege Monsters?"
