The Game of Global Mining-Chapter 454 - 347: Suspecting the Butler, Breaking Through the Void (Part 2)

Chapter 454: Chapter 347: Suspecting the Butler, Breaking Through the Void (Part 2)

Then the book emitted her buzzing translated voice: "Master, good evening!"

This translation sound seems encrypted, very professional.

Chun asked directly: "Suppose there’s a Beelzebub that has infiltrated a noble lady’s mansion, what would be the best disguise for it?"

She laughed: "Of course, as a butler or the head maid!"

Holy shit!

Chun asked again: "Then how to deal with it? I mean the butler."

She was at a loss: "Master, Beelzebub can hide in three ways. One is like me, shaping a body entirely with energy, which in places like the Golden Divine Throne is seen as a mark of divinity, even an angelic body. Another is hiding its true form, like that new up-and-comer does. The third is by possessing and parasitizing, and if this butler is a parasite, it could harm the host."

Chun was also troubled: "So there’s no way out?"

She laughed: "If Master doesn’t trust the butler, just fire him."

Chun was stunned: "What if he’s wrongfully accused? Wouldn’t that chill a loyal servant’s heart?

She laughed: "Actually, the Master can also test them."

Chun was intrigued: "How to test?"

She laughed: "If it’s a really beautiful and noble lady, just let her not bathe for a few days, and the butler’s emotions will fluctuate."

Uh... so did Remia bathe in the past few days?

Chun continued to ask: "What if the noble lady not only doesn’t bathe but also applies heavy perfume to herself?"

Her laughter changed: "The sweat of the noble lady mixed with the scent of the perfume, such an awkward aroma is kind of... Sorry, master, I was impolite."

Holy shit, so that’s it! Remia has already started preparing!

Her voice turned serious: "However, Master, it’s not that simple for Beelzebub to blend in as a butler, I can’t offer more advice."

"Alright then, you carry on!"

Chun closed the book. Even though he wanted to ask about the development advice for venturing outside the city given her long-term infiltration, he refrained from doing so, not trusting her in this matter.

Honestly, just asking about this Beelzebub butler made Chun somewhat uneasy. If he just asked about the ’noble lady who doesn’t bathe and uses perfume’, and then the news that the butler at Remia’s mansion was taken down broke out, the Beelzebub family would immediately suspect both my main and alternate accounts!

Thinking of this, Chun found it more than just uneasy, it was massively inappropriate!

Chun switched back to his main account, staring at the previous system message lost in thought. He realized he already has the qualifications for amnesty, theoretically pushing a bit, and with some bias from the mermaid, he could avoid imprisonment?

Then unexpectedly he saw the system message about ’Initial Tier Levianthan Power’ having a 100% increased purification effect, and the ’Toilet Cleaning Insights’ skill was boosted by the Cleaner Fish profession!

The alternate account doesn’t have the Cleaner Fish boost and randomly inflicts 4x, 5x, or even 10x damage, while the main account’s Cleaner Fish with a 100% boost, how many times could it inflict?

Holy shit, I really want to try this power!

Chun suddenly felt enlightenment and free from confusion, deciding that regardless of right or wrong, action was necessary!

Because even if it was done right, on the surface it was only targeting the butler, and Remia wouldn’t publicly expose her family’s shame about Beelzebub, so even if I made a contribution and she admired me, I would still end up in jail — the key is that from Remia’s perspective, keeping me in jail resolves her ’amnesty’ dilemma!

After all, the Ten Lords would never allow my pardon. If Remia makes any suspicious moves, the Heroic Spirit Hall issue would be exposed, even implicating Eve and Fafnir!

This is Eve’s style, the closer the relationship, the more you must maintain a detached image to avoid suspicion.

Even if the move is wrong, just being jailed means to err on the side of caution!

Since I’ve figured it all out, let’s ring the bell to summon the butler, and when he opens the door, I’ll hit him with a flaming charge and a bottle...

Wait, at that moment, the butler should be on guard, and I should wait until close to dawn when the butler might think I haven’t grasped the lady’s ’take a tour’ hint, reducing anxiety to the minimum.

That’s the plan.

As for now, Chun suddenly felt something was missing, right, lunch? It’s past noon!

Chun picked up Zhou Qing’s phone and saw a message: "Brother Chun, if you’re awake, just reply for a meal."

Ah! I have to admit, Zhou Qing is indeed thoughtful, probably guessing I caused a commotion offline, and deduced that I was sleeping, thus avoiding waking me up by having the delivery guy bring food.

Chun replied emotionally: "Boss, I’m awake."

Zhou Qing immediately responded: "Alright, Brother Chun, the meal will be there shortly."

"Thank you for the concern, boss."

"No need for formality, Brother Chun..."

The next moment, the delivery guy eagerly knocked on the door: "Brother Chun, lunch is here!"

Chun smiled and opened the door, and the delivery guy excitedly said: "Brother Chun, you’ve outdone yourself, striking down the Evil God without even coming online, really slapped some faces hard."

Chun chuckled: "Face-slapping was unavoidable, I truly knew nothing."

The delivery guy shook his head: "That’s not what I meant, it’s just some people thought with Brother Chun in jail, they started to spread noise, but it’s no big deal, Brother Chun, take your time to eat."

Chun chuckled with surprise, this is probably human nature if anything. Just wondering how fun it would be once I go back to jail...

Three dishes and one soup of homemade food, exactly to Chun’s taste.

After eating, a message from Earth Lotus came in: "Father, I’ve made it through."

Chun looked down and saw "Earth" below! This astronaut’s perspective is terrifying!

Looking to the side, there was a huge metal round structure very much resembling rocket nozzles!

Holy shit, so does this mean the Golden Divine Throne is actually jet-powered? Was the Underground City just a propulsion section?

Chun was suddenly struck by a crazy and frightening idea: What if I crawled through the nozzle into the engine room and messed around, could I crash the Golden Divine Throne? That would be nothing short of launching a major war against the Golden Divine Throne, which at least the souls of five City Beauties could use the chaos to their advantage...

But this crazy thought was just a fleeting moment. Someone insignificant like me couldn’t possibly damage such a highly protected high-tech part, might even get melted by the furnace right upon entry.

Sure enough, Chun noticed the rocks surrounding the nozzle had been melted into ceramic glass by high temperatures, firmly welding and fixing the nozzle in place.

Then Chun’s Earth Vein Perception discovered the rock areas between the ’ceramic’ and the ordinary rocks appeared soft with many cracks, likely caused by vibration and thermal expansion?

Chun said: "Earth Lotus, let’s climb over there and dig a hole to stay."

"Okay, father."

As for later, maybe it’d be wise to prepare for not being able to reach the Heroic Spirit Hall or contact Eve and the others, while transformation time persists, let’s reach out or listen to their hiding and development advice.

"Earth Lotus, can we still go find Eve now?"

"We can, but it’s quite far, requires some time."

Finally experiencing what becoming distant feels like...

A few minutes later, Chun finally switched scenes, appearing in Eve’s study.

At this point, surprisingly Eve wasn’t sleeping and was still diligently studying.

Eve noticed Chun’s arrival and couldn’t contain her excitement as she typed: "You defeated the Evil God of Silver City!"

Chun felt embarrassed: "I did nothing, it was the Silver Flower’s doing. Actually, I’m just mentioning my plan, I suspect Remia’s butler might be Beelzebub, so if I end up in jail after a misguided attack, don’t be surprised Miss Eve."

Eve was astonished: "Her butler really can’t be! But, okay, I’ll understand."

Chun wrote: "I’ve reached the very bottom nozzle of the Floating City, might not be able to communicate for a while after this, does Miss Eve have any development suggestions?"

Eve was again surprised: "That place... You truly are amazing!"

Chun felt helpless: "Such a place seems to be the only way to avoid surveillance, no?"

Eve frowned: "For development, you could consider drifting to the nearby void asteroid belt, but drifting there is quite risky."

Chun was amazed: "It’s possible to drift?"

Eve typed: "This is the void, zero gravity, drifting is possible."

Ah, really simulating space, huh? Then the gravity of the Divine Throne is such high-tech, where does it come from?
