The Game of Global Mining

Chapter 85: Working Hard on Side Jobs


The Enchanting Demon asked with a smile, "So do you think we should buy these vacation supplies?"

Chun was speechless, "Yes!"

The Enchanting Demon smiled, "Alright, the remaining money is just enough to rent four fully-functioning mine carts from the Mining Guild. Using the new carts to tow the old ones should get them running."

Chun was shocked, "Seventeen carts in total!?"

The Enchanting Demon sneered, "What? Afraid of hard work? Where's the endless greed glory of the Demon Race you promised?"

Alright, alright, let's go all out on this grand venture for a few days, lest the Enchanting Demon mocks my insignificance! Besides, I've advanced to Master level, become an expert at underwater construction, and mining doesn't seem to take as long as imagined.

Chun realized something, "We've rented the carts but there's no money left for vacation supplies!"

The Enchanting Demon laughed, "Going to the mine for vacation, aren't mine carts the vacation supplies?"

Holy shit, she's actually very thrifty!

Chun was truly impressed with her, "Lady Aimee, I ... I was a bit loud earlier."

The Enchanting Demon smiled proudly, "Hmph, never underestimate an Enchanting Demon..."

Indeed, indeed. After all, the Enchanting Demon is the purebred of the Demon Race here, so her connections might be stronger than others — Suddenly, a thought struck Chun. Could it be, this Enchanting Demon is part of the pseudo-Angel Maria's forces? If so, she's an ally, right?

So her initial reluctance was just to confuse others, and then she makes a bold move by renting 13 mine carts!

But this is just speculation, not to be taken seriously, the consequences of misjudging could be severe.

Next, it's about handing over various repair tools and spare parts from the goblins. On the whole, the carts could float up shakily, but the speed was a bit slow, so they really needed to hire new carts from the Mining Guild as the locomotive.

The Enchanting Demon said, "It's inconvenient for us to show up, you go and negotiate, a loan mortgage will do. We'll use Illusion Technique and bloody mist to cover up, it's not good for the people of the Mining Guild to see these carts, the boss has hired 4 carts to meet us outside the city."

The Dark Elf said, "I don't know Illusion Technique, so I'll stay behind to escort the boss's 4 carts for the meetup."

"Okay, let's do that."

Not bad, not bad, they are really good at working on the side now, they know how to avoid suspicion and divide the work too.

Chun went to the Mining Guild and found that same service staff. As expected, just renting mine carts without hiring mercenaries was indeed troublesome, so a loan mortgage with full compensation was applied. This means if anything happens to the carts, Chun would have to sell himself to repay.

Thus, Chun was left penniless once more.

Then, Chun set off with 4 hovering mine carts from the mine.

But he didn't see the Dark Elf, just a voice whispered in his ear, "Boss, just go ahead."

Oh my! Invisible, huh?

In the framework of the Magical World, Dark Elves and Elves originated from the same ancestors but became an evil race living underground, their skin turned a sleek, dark brown and they excelled in breaking magic and stealth assassinations. It seems even if she was a Mage, she hadn't neglected the racial specialty of invisibility.

As of now, with the rare opportunity of being alone with her, should some developments be made?

Chun asked, "Lady Olka, do you live in that Dark Elf City outside the city?"

A light laugh sounded, "If the boss has free time someday, you can visit the Black Hand Bar in the city for a drink — enough talking, boss, start the vehicle."

Chun understood, just mentioning the Black Hand Bar itself was a significant development.

Finally, in front of them appeared a hazy mist, and they successfully rendezvoused, the new cars leading, and the old ones pushing from behind, forming a new formation.

April 5th, 2 p.m.

Chun set off with the fleet of 17 hovering carts, an overwhelmingly impressive scene that truly filled Chun with emotion.

If the previous 3 carts could only earn 20,000, then if these 17 carts brought back the same kind of ore, still shared among 6 people, it would still only earn 20,000, but the time and risk were several times more...

Calculated down to the detail, Chun was at a loss. Even if high-class deep-level ores earned several times more, it might not necessarily compensate.

But precisely because a loss aligns with the system's logic of curbing players, this venture could succeed!

So the real profit in this matter is not about the ore, but about sneaking five female mercenaries away from the many forces monitoring him! No need for them to betray their superiors with absolute loyalty, as that would only trouble and harm them. Just "fake marriage" them to work on the side, mutually being used would suffice...

At this moment, Chun had no leisure to idle on auto, he had to monitor the problem vehicles throughout the journey, and whenever an alarm went off, Chun rushed up to tighten the screws. This was truly a skill learned at the 10th level of Advanced Mechanician on the island.

And these Magic Hovering Minecarts weren't of low quality, repairing them constantly just might break through to become an Expert in one go. Thinking like this, broken carts weren't too many after all.

And, they no longer offered vague services, their side gigs were significantly more earnest and serious compared to before. It is definite that any unforeseen events encountered now are absolutely not rehearsed.

And speaking of unforeseen events, one came up immediately!

The Fallen Angel alerted, "Ahead there are a large number of Corpse-eating Demon Beasts blocking the way, and a very strong Corpse Demon, it's quite troublesome."

Chun recalled the place ahead was where the Demon Eye was earlier annihilated: "Can't win?"

The Fallen Angel said, "We can win, but there are too many, it's hard to guarantee the vehicles won't be damaged. We could also wait, let them eat and leave."

The Vampire Girl sighed, "Killing the Corpse Demon could earn a Decaying Crystal Core, beneficial for my enhancement."

Chun's heart skipped a beat.

She'd seldom spoken along the way, saying this plainly indicated her desire? Actually, I also long to gain another wave of experience, as long as my level is high enough, safe enough that those Consortium players can't suspect.

Chun devised a strategy, "Let's circle the carts into a vehicle wall, then strengthen with magic, can we defeat them?"

Medusa said, "Of course we can, but such strikes worsen the impact on the carts."

As long as they can win, isn't the vehicle a sell-your-body loan...

Chun, accustomed to being led by Old Whale and Aileen, felt a bit overconfident, "I'm an Advanced Mechanician, can repair while fighting!"

The Enchanting Demon laughed, "Indeed, those at the large repair factory said you seemed knowledgeable, you clearly have no profession."

Admired by beauty? Chun quickly restrained himself, "That's why I was enlisted as a servant by the great Lord Dios!"

The Enchanting Demon snorted coldly, "He doesn't deserve it..."

The Fallen Angel said, "Then let's do it as the boss said, drive the vehicles to a high point 500 meters ahead and circle them. I'll lure the monsters over."

Not bad, not bad, she knows how to lure monsters and use high ground!

After a dozen minutes, the vehicle wall was positioned, Medusa raised her hand to reinforce with a circle of earthen wall on the periphery, the Dark Elf's Magic Defense Shield, the Enchanting Demon's Illusionary Mist, all added! Chun's passive wasn't idle:

— System prompt: Your Master level Module Combination optimized the whole team's skills...

So, opportunities to enhance skills abound in real battles, don't miss the chance to fight!
