The Game of Global Mining-Chapter 482 - 359: The Greedy Mine? Countering Greed with Restraint (Part 2)

Chapter 482: Chapter 359: The Greedy Mine? Countering Greed with Restraint (Part 2)

Perhaps a few eggs will decide the victor, the strongest has emerged?

Chun confirmed there was no danger, so he slowly crawled out of the dirt and saw the ground littered with shattered blue bones, too horrific to bear.

Earth Lotus said, "Earlier, Earth Mother said these are Void Cockroaches. The ones that hatch first will immediately kill and eat those that haven’t hatched, extremely ferocious. If we encounter them, we either dodge with all our might or kill them with all our strength..."

Chun was quite horrified, and then he heard the sounds of combat in the void outside again!

"Is this Star Zone full of these cockroaches?"

"The area I explored should be, after the storm ends, new Void Crystal Ores will appear in the Star Zone. With their habit of killing ones from the same nest first, they should now be killing their own kind outside, and ultimately a dominant one will emerge."

Mutual killing?

Chun frowned, feeling inexplicably repulsed by such creatures. The morality of seeing such a breeding mode is one reason, and seeing such wasted resources is another. Instead of letting them go rampant like this, why not...

Chun pulled out the Eye of the Void Storm to contact the Winged Snake Queen: "Are you okay?"

The Queen chirped back: "It’s the most dangerous now, new food has arrived, the strong will redefine territories, I have to hide until the strong have rested."

Holy shit, you’re the Queen, aren’t you the strong one? But indeed, you can’t take the risk, a Monkey King, no matter how strong among monkeys, can’t even beat an ordinary tiger, let alone a cub.

Chun asked: "Then can you locate where I am now?"

The Queen replied: "I know, you’re in the cockroach territory, it’s very dangerous there."

Chun asked again: "If I find an injured King of Cockroaches, would you have a chance to eliminate it?"

The Queen was silent for a moment, then finally replied: "I can try!"

Chun felt her silence, how much courage must it take?

Chun was inspired by her: "Okay, I’ll monitor the battle closely and wait for them to reach a conclusion..."

So Chun stealthily used invisibility to crawl up to the cave entrance to take a peek, he gasped, in the void, over a hundred giant flying insects as big as airplanes were engaging in pairwise battles, with various dismembered limbs and shattered armor flying all around!

Chun couldn’t believe it: "Are these all newly hatched juveniles? Their eggs weren’t that big, were they?"

Earth Lotus said: "Maybe by eating some opponents, they grow quickly. The runes on their bodies have changed significantly, Void Creatures really are different from normal creatures."

Hmm, is this a game developer studying alien creature templates? Chun felt a bit regretful for calling the Queen, but...

Chun asked the Queen: "That Void Electric Spike, have you finished eating it?"

The Queen sighed: "We hadn’t finished eating it before the storm blew it away, feeling very upset."

This unwillingness was precisely her motivation to join the battle, sigh, I also feel unwilling...

The Queen added: "Fortunately, we ate the crystal core."

Well, that’s comforting after all.

As Chun quietly waited for the battle outcome, someone knocked on the door of Hua’s Ugly Emperor’s study.

Ugly Emperor immediately went to open the door, and there with a beaming smile was Michael.

"Ah, greetings, Sage Lord! Please come in, my lord."

As they spoke, the maid at the door automatically entered the room to serve tea.

Michael said with a smile: "Sorry to interrupt your studies."

Ugly Emperor apologized: "Sage Lord, I’ve read all five Astrology Books, but haven’t grasped it. I’m really not cut out for this and have let you down."

Michael smiled and said: "No, we must accept this result openly, failing after trying our best leaves no regrets."

Ugly Emperor sighed: "The Sage Lord is so wise, absolutely right."

Michael smiled: "Actually, I have good news for you, Ms. Celia has agreed to join the expedition team, now there are two members in the team!"

Ugly Emperor was both surprised and delighted: "Ms. Celia actually—"

Chun was also shocked, holy shit the first person actually went to recruit Earth Mother! Fortunately, this benefits me too, otherwise, that would’ve been a coup without a discussion!

Ugly Emperor quickly regained his senses and excitedly said: "Great, just the two of us is enough, no need for others."

Holy shit! This is an expedition team, and you want a two-person world, huh?

Michael also laughed: "Well, two people still aren’t enough, I’ll still try to recruit a few more people."

Ugly Emperor felt a bit uncomfortable: "How about asking Mr. Gauss? I sense he’s very lonely and bored, an expedition might cheer him up."

Chun’s heart skipped a beat! Good idea, taking the mathematician along, then calculating runes on various Spirits of Nature on the spot!

Michael was startled: "Him? Even though I’m a Sage, I can’t communicate with him. But your math is already excellent, you could give it a try."

Ugly Emperor mused: "Alright, I’ll find him after I solve this problem."

Michael smiled again: "Plus, I have more good news, I spent some money to renovate the ship a bit, it’s not so old anymore, if you have time these days, you can familiarize yourself at the shipyard."

Ugly Emperor laughed: "No problem! I’ve been working odd jobs on ships since I was little, and later on spaceships, very familiar!"

Chun was stunned to hear that, weren’t you a big shot in Black Iron City? You never mentioned working odd jobs on ships when you were little?

Michael laughed: "Alright, just thought I’d share the good news, I won’t disturb you any longer."

Ugly Emperor also gathered up the five books to return and respectfully saw them off: "Take care, Sage Lord..."

Well, since there’s nothing else, back to monitoring the battlefield.

...

Michael, leaving the library, was in a good mood, but also not.

The bad part is, is astrology really that difficult? He read all six books and didn’t master it? Perhaps a clown with such a technical background really isn’t suited for this mystical field. He needs to put his work aside and study it himself, for failing after doing one’s utmost leaves no regrets, while he hadn’t given it his all due to being too busy.

Michael then asked Uriel in the chat group: "Uriel, what level has Chun reached in astrology?"

Uriel said: "At first, just watching the Treasure Identification Book video... then in the later monitoring, just flipping through the whole book continuously."

Does he understand it, or not...

Michael felt urgent, and also asked in passing: "Still haven’t encountered pirates or sirens?"

Uriel was very anxious: "Yes, even past midnight, there have been no distress signals from any ships in trouble, nor any sign of missing ship signals."

Michael sighed: "Is this the cunning or weakness of the first generation?"

Metatron said: "Should be weakness! I calculated the strengths of the first generation Pirate King, back then the Golden Continent had lots of strong Sea Monsters, totally able to feed on battles, obtaining a large number of top-quality Magic Crystal Cores as drive cores. But now there are no strong Sea Monsters on the Golden Continent, his Sea Dominator struggled to recover energy after last night’s intense battle, if it doesn’t show tonight, there’s a possibility it won’t appear for days or even a week."

Uriel’s body shook: "Makes sense!"

Michael smiled: "Indeed makes sense! But the public line must all credit the Mermaids’ Guardian God!"

Uriel laughed: "Certainly..."

...

At this time, Chun had already calmed down from the shock of the battlefield likened to airplanes earlier. Not only unshocked, but also bored with waiting, why hadn’t a victor emerged yet?

At this moment, Earth Mother’s voice came through the Eye of Dibilon: "Little one, these are a multitude of samples, each one is different!"

Chun was surprised: "There are so many samples, and each one is different?"

Earth Mother laughed: "You have the ability, they won’t care about you while they’re busy fighting."

That’s right! My space fire can directly enter the Other Plane.

Why didn’t you say so earlier?"

Earth Mother laughed: "Just came back from the shipyard, found a few samples along the way."

Holy shit! Is this the game developers researching alien creature models? Chun was a bit remorseful for calling the Queen, but still...

Chun quickly flew into the sky with Space Fire to first record those about to die.

Now Chun’s mindset has changed, "Lady, why didn’t you say so earlier?"
