The Game of Global Mining

Chapter 171: Introducing the Layers of Hell


Chun also didn't know how Earth Lotus met her during the trusteeship period. Wasn't it a bit too much to test the old cadres like this?

Chun thought of politely declining: "I just swam out of the sewer, I smell..."

The special envoy laughed: "What does it matter?"

As she spoke, a massive black claw came over and enveloped Chun, and Chun felt himself being lifted up, suddenly appearing above the clouds!

Holy Shit, she turned into a dragon again, so this is how it hugs!

The Black Dragon asked: "Did you see it?"

Above the clouds, there were reflections of various volcanic forests, and one could faintly see a black object, unsure if it was the sun or the moon!

Chun was amazed: "What is this?"

"The 6th layer! Or call it the Black Dragon Kingdom! Black Dragon God Marsala is the ruler of this layer, and Black Dragon Secret Abyss City is the main city of my Black Dragon Race and a host of servants. Our guild mission is to open a trade route to Secret Abyss City, which requires the president and us to work together, you know."

Oh right, there's this guild mission, it's just that there's no goods, and lots of bugs.

"Of course, I will work hard!"

The Black Dragon laughed and asked: "Want to know what the 5th layer is? For new talents like the president, I will patiently explain."

Chun was really interested now: "What is the 5th layer?"

The Black Dragon said: "Bugs! Mushrooms! Ferns! All sorts and sizes of bugs and mushrooms. We Black Dragons hate these bugs the most. These bugs actually exist everywhere, but the 5th layer has the most and the strongest."

Chun asked again: "What about the 4th layer?"

"A variety of ancient beasts and sea beasts, their characteristic is that their strength is extremely powerful, able to rival the Dragon Race. But their intelligence is extremely low, not that they can't be dealt with."

Chun was astounded: "How can there be sea beasts?"

The Black Dragon said: "There is also a vast Sea of Creation, it is said that during the intense upheaval when the world was formed, a large amount of seawater entered Hell, forming this, and it is most likely naturally connected to the surface world. As long as this natural passage is found, the immense wealth of Hell can be transported out on a large scale through fleets and other means—provided we eliminate these 5th layer bugs."

It feels like the layering of this Hell is not traditionally one layer per Demon King, rather it's like the Cambrian, Carboniferous, Jurassic Ages...

Chun asked again: "The 3rd layer then?"

"The world of low-level Demon Race, usually referred to by surface humans as the Demon Realm, with various tribes and cities. We select elites from each race as servants to enter the 6th and 7th layers, now the vassal cities surrounding Lost Paradise are the offspring of these elite servants."

Chun was truly surprised!

The third layer is actually the Demon Realm! No wonder Maria had me choose from the so-called special tasks on the 3rd layer, this is about choosing between the civilian world and the elite world! Doesn't that mean that big consortiums entering the Demon Realm to develop isn't actually difficult?

Chun quickly asked: "Is the third layer strong?"

The Black Dragon laughed: "The Black Hand Organization you met earlier in the streets of Dark Moon City are the descendants of the elites, how does the president feel about the strength of these descendants?"

"Feels... manageable."

The Black Dragon sighed: "Actually, these descendants aren't much different from the third layer, elites can't guarantee their descendants will also be elite, you know."

Holy Shit, is the third layer really that strong!

Chun had no choice but to ask: "What about the second layer?"

Although Chun came from the second layer, not asking would seem suspicious.

"The world of volcanic lava, here there are lots of low-level minerals, numerous entrances connecting to the surface world at the same time. Which also means the surface world can reach the third layer through these entrances, so barriers have been set up, which is the first layer. Essentially, the first and second layers are one world."

As they spoke, a blurred mountain towering straight to the sky appeared ahead.

The Black Dragon said: "We've reached the Earth Flame Tribe, I'll leave the president here."

Uh? Haven't finished asking yet!

Chun quickly asked: "Why is this mountain so blurry?"

The Black Dragon said: "Just like how you see the 6th layer as blurry, this is in a closed-off, isolated space, which I cannot reach. I do admire how Mr. Dios managed to infiltrate it."

Uh, let's not talk about it anymore.

"So Dios is a great master..."

As they spoke, the Black Dragon landed at the outskirts of the Earth Flame Tribe and gently set Chun down: "Well then, president, see you next time!"

Chun felt enriched by an improved worldview: "Thank you, Special Envoy, for the teachings."

Watching the Black Dragon's silhouette disappear into the distance, Chun suddenly thought, with the speed and strength of the Black Dragons, wouldn't it be convenient to have them air transport it? Why bother with mine carts?

...

Upon entering the Earth Flame Tribe, a bunch of Earth Flame Giants greeted with surprise and excitement: "President, not transporting the ore?"

Chun shared the earlier idea: "I came this time to investigate whether we can use the tribe's crystal stone materials to build a Divine Temple for Earth Mother Selya."

Actually, it's just to practice some construction techniques.

The giants were delighted: "This should be discussed with the chief, come along!"

Uh, alright, it's just that the guild isn't at level 10 yet, feeling a bit guilty to the leadership.

Scene transitions, Chun returns to the cave in Purple Crystal Mountain to see the chief again.

The chief was surprised: "Youngster, you actually have the Power of Chaos! And the fertility of Earth Mother Selya!"

The chief sure has sharp eyes!

Chun was excited for him and immediately took out the Book of Divine Artifacts: "I think I might have met the incarnation of Earth Mother in Bloodhoof City!"

The chief was quite excited: "I see! Even I haven't seen Mother for many years. However, next time you might not meet her, you don't actually need to return this book."

Chun was stunned: "Won't meet again?"

The chief sighed: "Mother will travel around the grounds periodically. Giving you this book signifies fulfilling a wish, so she won't continue to linger."

Uh... suddenly, this feels quite bittersweet! But that farewell kiss... was really too intense to forget.

Chun sighed: "So in memory of Earth Mother, I want to investigate the tribe's crystal stones, and build a Divine Temple for her, I am after all a level 10 Basic Construction Technique."

The chief paused for a moment, then laughed: "Alright, alright, but don't build it too big, Mother actually dislikes extravagance."

Uh? Holy Shit! I spoke to the two Grandmasters about building the temple, and they said Earth's Mother's temple must be grander than the Demon God Hall, seems like they were just guessing and talking nonsense.

Good, a small temple is more suitable for my Basic Construction Technique!

The chief also said: "Since Mother prepared a gift for you, I must also prepare a gift for you, go busy yourself first, I'll give it to you when it's ready."

Ah, another gift, the chief is so generous!

At this time, a message came from the main account.

Chun hurriedly switched over and saw it was a guild message from Selya: "President, it's about to dawn, we refined the Meteorite Gold before sunrise."

It's dawn! Looking at the time, it's just after 5 PM, time for dinner too.

"Earth Lotus, take over and delve into some construction techniques."

"Understood, Father."
