The Game of Global Mining

Chapter 183: Fish Nests A Newly Developed Industry


Chun returned to the familiar restaurant to enjoy breakfast with some alcohol and took a nap until noon, finishing his lazy morning routine.

Back at the internet café, he was met with greetings from the expert players: "Brother Chun is back!"

Chun understood their concern, so he had to act a little defeated, can't have those pros think he went down without a fight or they might return.

Chun had plenty of time to continue slacking: "What happened this morning?"

"Xuewei is kickass, there's an old fairy, Xuewei Qiqi, who successfully took the job as Dancing Girl, and she's already employed in the village restaurant! The bigger the Dancing Girl's fame in the tavern, the higher the fan value of the mentor Bilenna."

Holy shit, Aileen is actually a profession mentor!

Chun rushed to ask: "So with thousands of female players in the village taking the Dancing Girl job, and then tens of thousands more from the China District, won't Bilenna's fan value skyrocket?"

"Probably not, even the Five Cities female celebrities have more fans but haven't hit the limit, there must be a cap effect."

"Kind of like facing anti-explosive 0, critical hit 100% and 1000% actually makes no difference. Celebrities with lots of fans can withstand scandals and such, small-time celebrities can't, maybe it's this kind of thing..."

That makes sense.

Great God said: "Brother Chun, just heard the news, Curry's management of Northern Fishing Port Village isn't steady, some team suggests organizing manpower to take advantage."

The experts laughed: "Can't let Curry get any advantage, strike while he's down, what do you think, Brother Chun?"

"Absolutely hammer them! Back when Brother Chun was trapped in the sewer, Curry still sent thousands to ambush him!"

Chun didn't really understand these player conflicts: "Hey, listening to you all talk, seems like I'm the one who ordered you to strike."

"Nah, it's just that we simply find Curry annoying! That Tata attracts monsters, the whole city wants to take him..."

Chun chuckled in surprise: "Well, you guys have fun, I'm going to log in."

"Take your time, Brother Chun."

...

Back to the booth, logging in.

——System Notification: Welcome to Golden Continent, it is midnight 12:16 on Golden Continent.

——System Notification: Congratulations! Your Soul Link has shared your clone's Expert Rune Technique level 3…

——System Notification: Congratulations! Your Soul Link has shared your clone's Advanced Construction Technique level 1…

Oh dear, advanced construction!

Slacking the whole morning, Earth Lotus actually managed something major for me!

Just then, Aileen seriously reminded: "Here it comes, don't make any noise!"

Chun immediately looked out the cockpit, it's pitch black!

All sorts of chaotic noises echoed across the sea surface!

The entire Obsidian blended into the dark ocean, Siren stood at the bow, concentrating on observing the sea ahead.

Aileen continued: "Pirate King mentioned this situation in his diary, he didn't know what this was either, didn't dare make a sound or turn on lights, once daylight came, he passed through."

So even Siren doesn't know what this is? If it were me, I wouldn't dare make a sound or turn on lights either, but would be extremely terrified. The pioneer's experience helps eliminate the fear for later generations; it's worthy of respect.

Coming to think of it, at this moment, those boring academic professions, like biologists, might come in handy, there's a chance to recruit one back in the main city later, preferably a beauty.

Watching for quite a while, indeed there's nothing for him to do, better switch to a side account to check Earth Lotus' achievements.

This time Earth Lotus is diving in Magma Lake, drilling holes through those collapsed Crystal Stone Pillars that fell into the lake.

The forest of pillars shimmered with purple, clearly those purple Crystal Stone Fish encountered when he first arrived at the Magma Lake with Volcano Dragon.

Chun couldn't help but ask: "What's this?"

Earth Lotus excitedly said: "Father, what I made is a fish nest!"

Holy shit! So those toppled pillars in the lake, resembling an otter dam, are abstract fish nests! The key is, just this seemingly simple thing actually pushed my Construction Technique to Advanced!

Not only that, it even leveled up Rune Technique Expert to level 3! This was all achieved by dismantling pillars?

Chun asked: "Why did you think of making fish nests?"

Earth Lotus said: "If my constructions aren't even liked by small animals, how can they possibly satisfy the Earth Mother? These are Purple Crystal Fish, greatly loved by Earth Mother and Uncle Dibilon, I think once they're settled, they're part of the Earth Mother Divine Temple."

Huh? Earth Mother Divine Temple is actually this abstract?

Chun asked again: "Then you drilled holes to build houses for the fish?"

"Yes! The Purple Crystal Fish not only need their own Crystal Stone houses but also a forest made of Crystal Stone Pillars to block large enemies, so they feel safe and withstand volcanic earthquakes, protecting the fish eggs from getting buried by earthquakes, these pillars also provide food..."

So that's it! This is actually the same principle as shipwreck ecology, in the vast ocean without cover, fish feel no sense of security, instinctively congregating under large structures for shelter.

Chun quickly asked: "Are there large enemies for them in this lake?"

"Currently there aren't any, but once the Purple Crystal Fish increase, there might be."

Clearly, this is developing a fishery industry!

Chun got excited: "What can this Purple Crystal Fish produce?"

Earth Lotus was puzzled: "I don't know…"

At least they can be eaten, right? Ah, no, Earth Lotus Earth Mother might be displeased… Anyway, expand the scale first!

Chun began to encourage: "You're doing great, I think we need further development, strive to create more fish nests—"

No wait! Just by myself, creating this small fish nest took nearly a whole day, if we're going big, we gonna need the tribe giants to help us. There are Crystal Stone Pillars everywhere, with the giants' strength it's just like snapping sugarcane, then Earth Lotus just needs to drill holes...

Chun said: "Let's find the chief, report the achievements!"

"Yes, father!"

...

Chun returned to the Purple Crystal Cave again, the chief happily took out an earthy glowing Crystal Core: "The promised gift is ready, this is made with Earth Mother's Earth Crystal Core, a Teleportation Stone that lets you directly return to the tribe, no need to travel far."

——System Notification: Congratulations! You received the Divine Artifact Earth Crystal Core Teleportation Stone, Special Skill 1: Earth Amplification. Special Skill 2: Earth Energy Absorption. Special Skill 3: Teleport Earth Flame Tribe.

Earth Amplification: Greatly enhances the effect of earth series magic used by the holder.

Earth Energy Absorption: Greatly increases underground mana recovery speed for the holder.

...

Holy shit, another divine artifact! These attributes completely match Earth Lotus's abilities, and crucially it can teleport back to the city, this is the real treasure!

However, Chun felt the name Earth Crystal Core sounded familiar, wasn't it also the item big shot Uriel was offering a bounty for in the trade association? Holy shit! If it's indeed the same item, then that means the big shot has been here and completed some task! This means the Earth Flame Tribe is actually the big shot's back door?

Upon thinking this, Chun's scalp tingled!
