The Game of Global Mining

Chapter 185: Curry's Control over the Underlying Layers


Uriel became quite interested: "No matter how difficult the task, I will bravely face it. Please, Ms. Olka, tell me more?"

Olka shook her head: "We're all just here to work, you know? What kind of task can I give you? I'm just telling you about something very hard to handle. The difficulty lies in the uncertain information and the long timeline. Just yesterday, Dark Moon City uncovered a secret chamber of the Black Hand Organization in the sewers, discovering they found a secret passageway to the surface world a hundred years ago and smuggled out something especially valuable!"

Uriel was suddenly taken aback, a hundred years ago? Anything related to a hundred years ago in the game's background is about internal testing by the development team!

Uriel asked in surprise: "From the 7th level directly to the surface? Such passages are all controlled by the Demon God Hall!"

Olka said: "That's why I said the information is uncertain!"

Uriel asked again: "And what is this especially valuable item?"

Olka said: "I don't know, it's uncertain!"

Uriel immediately sensed the difficulty: "Is it related to Black Dragon Fortress?"

Olka said: "I don't know! But the Dark Elf race has always been loyal servants of the Black Dragon God. Being able to access especially valuable items is probably related to the Black Dragon."

Uriel asked again: "So what should I do?"

Olka sighed: "I'm just telling you! The vice president is a Sage, showing such extraordinary abilities. Perhaps only you can solve very difficult puzzles."

Kasha laughed: "Let the Sage think about the brain-taxing things. I think our guild's tasks should focus on the two Mining Grandmasters to maximize benefits. What do you all think?"

Uriel said: "I agree, but I have a vague idea. I need to think about it."

...

Uriel immediately went to the family chat group: "Everyone, I've discovered a serious incident! I suspect someone secretly modified the code during development!"

The chat group was abuzz: "What's going on?"

Uriel posted the recording of the conversation with the Dark Elf in the group.

Michael was extremely serious: "Indeed, anything related to a hundred years ago happened during development!"

Gabriel said: "But none of our partners ordered a big package related to the Dark Elves!"

Uriel said gravely: "That's why I said it was secretly modified! With a mess like this in the database, it's hard to detect if a programmer secretly tweaks it!"

Everyone was astonished: "Did the curry programmer do it?"

Uriel said gravely: "Remove the question mark! Butler, investigate the project!"

Butler: "Please wait!"

Gabriel became interested: "Assuming this incident is related to the lost Black Dragon item, what would have enormous impact on the surface world?"

Everyone answered in unison: "Dragon egg!!!"

Gabriel continued to theorize: "If the source code is the dragon egg, then after a hundred years of advancements, it should hatch and become a young dragon. Young dragons cannot transform into human form, so they must be in a certain Dragon Cave in the wild or beneath a volcano, and it must be close to a player town to allow the hand behind the scenes access—it won't be more than 5 regions that meet these criteria!"

Michael agreed deeply: "Each of the Five Major Cities has a Volcano Pioneer Village in their inland areas! If it was curry, then it's very likely to be at Iron Flame Pioneer Village outside Black Iron City."

Sullivan scoffed: "Such sneaky code modifications didn't even consider the intervention of NPC appearances. Perhaps this dragon has already been caught by the village or has become the village's Guardian God. There's no chance for players to get it."

Soon, Butler reported: "The relevant projects only include Tata Battle Team, who took a customized Hidden Profession, Beast Tamer, and a Dog King event in the sewers for Tata War God. The funds spent were also very low, under 10 million."

Michael said: "Beast Tamer doesn't count as customization, any ordinary player strictly maintaining vegetarianism can trigger it. The true customization is the Dog King event in the sewers."

Butler continued reporting: "The Dog King's Collar has upgraded Divine Artifact attributes that can control dragons!"

Everyone laughed in amazement: "We guessed it right!"

Michael said: "The programmer simply forcefully transferred the dragon egg code, but once handed over to the system for formal operation, letting the dragon appear on the surface doesn't fit the world logic, so the intelligent system loaded a plot module, leading to the so-called event of the Black Hand Organization stealing the egg a hundred years ago."

Uriel angrily said: "It's not just a dragon egg! The incident involving Chun stealing from Count Ramir Khan's Mansion also explains many issues. Our foundations have been controlled by these curry people, I suggest we fire all curry members!"

Everyone was silent.

Michael sighed: "Then who will replace them? Chinese people?"

Uriel sighed: "Brother, it's not that we don't have our own experts, it's just that their salaries are a bit higher—"

Michael said helplessly: "What difference does it make having our own people? They'll still slack off and privately outsource projects to curry. Some people haven't personally typed a line of code in years..."

Gabriel sighed: "We should investigate the one who modified the dragon egg code, he might have already left."

Michael sighed: "Investigate... Butler, take care of it, but ensure confidentiality, don't leak any big package details."

Butler: "Understood, sir."

Michael said: "Regardless, the plot has loaded a channel directly to the surface, which is beneficial for Uriel's control over Hell."

Uriel could only accept the reality: "Understood..."

...

Ending the meeting, Uriel decided to personally talk to the Black Dragon Lord. Since the incident has been analyzed, turn it into a task and completely gain the Black Dragon Lord's trust, making her the cornerstone for Uriel's rise to the top of Hell.

The Black Dragon Lord warmly welcomed Uriel: "What brings you here, Sage?"

Uriel said: "Did you lose a dragon egg a hundred years ago, my Lord?"

The Lord was startled: "How did you know?"

Uriel confidently smiled: "After all, I'm a Sage! I suspect it's now in the surface world, in Iron Flame Village, but of course, there's no evidence yet, requiring investigation. It's quite challenging given we're in the 7th layer of Hell."

The Lord came to: "Then I commission you, Sage, to investigate!"

Uriel said: "I'm afraid it's not something I can accomplish alone; it should be as a guild commission, right?"

The Lord was excited: "Very well!"

——Guild Announcement: Vice President Uriel has accepted the Black Dragon Fortress mission "Investigate the Missing Dragon Egg from a Hundred Years Ago," Task Clue 1, investigate the Black Hand Organization's smuggling channel. Task Clue 2, investigate the current situation in Iron Flame Village outside Black Iron City…

...

At this time, Chun, who was organizing the Little Giant's construction, stared stunned at the sudden guild announcement! He was just wondering how the bigwig was progressing and now, such a massive task appeared!
