Global Mining.

Chapter 106 The Mermaid Agreed (Thanks to the old leader Gui Xianren for promoting him to a new alliance)
10: AM PST.

The disappearance of a mining ship from the Golden Empire and a mining ship from the Silver City has touched the hearts of the big players of the Angel Family.

Rather than worry, I'm more excited. At what point will AI evolve to challenge gold and silver?

Sariel was the first to receive the butler's message: "Master, the two ships that disappeared overnight have been found off the coast of Baiyin. All the cargo and even the crew's daily necessities have been cleared out. Everyone on board is still unconscious and sleeping, and symptoms of the plague have been detected. They can only be quarantined offshore!"

Sariel's brows jumped. "Plague? Is it related to that rat again?"

The housekeeper was stunned: "Master, do you think he has that ability?"

Sariel was very annoyed: "What else?"

The butler said in a deep voice, "The aquarium's magic barrier has received an abnormal fluctuation. We received it a day or two ago, but the aquarium staff identified it as a broadcast from an unknown sea creature and blocked it. Now, the same frequency fluctuation has appeared again!"

Sariel was instantly alert: "Go to the aquarium!"

At this time, Silver City was still under lockdown and quarantine, and all the players in the city could only stay in the hotel and curse on the city channel.

Of course, the hotel is an "infinite independent space" and can easily accommodate hundreds of thousands of players.

The once bustling streets of Silver City are now patrolled by the NPC martial law team, who will "dissuade" any player who violates the ban.

But Sariel is a privileged player, and these patrols have to salute him.

Come to the aquarium, enter the magic net's heavy defenses, and come to the mermaid pavilion that looks like a palace in the water.

The mermaid lay on the fountain reef, eating pearls like beans while watching opera on the magic crystal screen.

Although Sariel came with an inquiring attitude, he didn't know how to start when he saw such a harmonious and beautiful scene - after all, this was his own work, the virtual incarnation of the most perfect woman in his mind. Even the word "woman" was not enough to express it. Only the magical beauty of the alien mermaid was closest to what he had in mind.

The mermaid spoke first without even looking up: "Is something wrong? Bang! "

Sariel finally came to his senses and said in a tone of authority: "Two ships were robbed!"

The mermaid snorted coldly, "It's the Siren. She provoked me two days ago and just now she provoked me again. She wants to take the territory I left behind!"

Sariel finally understood and asked in surprise, "Are Sirens very powerful?"

The mermaid snorted, "Would she dare come out when I was here before?"

Sariel was a little confused: "Now..."

The mermaid smiled. "Come on! If you can beat me, you can definitely beat her."

Sariel was anxious: "But her situation is different. You have a fixed territory and won't wander around. She... we haven't found her yet!"

The mermaid smiled and said, "It's only been two days, take your time looking."

I can only check the database first, but even if I find it, it’s hard to type!

Sariel asked again, "Is this plague related to the Sirens?"

The mermaid said angrily, "How should I know?"

Sariel was torn. Although he really wanted to ask the mermaid for help, what if he really let her go and she ran away? He had caught her before using the privilege at the beginning!

The mermaid laughed and said, "Do you want my help?"

Sariel was shocked, not knowing whether to say yes or no. The mermaid smiled strangely: "No way! I'm so comfortable here."

She's really into the comforts here! As long as she's craving enjoyment, that's easy. No one in this world can give her the greatest pleasure than me.

Sariel asked, "What if I prepare a luxury cruise ship for you and take you out to sea?"

The mermaid chuckled and said, "Actually, I'm also really angry about her provoking me... Go and do your work, don't disturb me from watching the show."

That means you agree to fight!

But he didn't have the privilege to prepare a luxury cruise ship anymore, so he could only ask the city lord to fund it. But cruise ships are slow, so he could just convert a warship, which would take a few days. The most likely solution would be to use "Volga boat haulers," using a fleet of sailing boats to pull the cruise ship. But sailing boats are just hard labor boats, unsightly, and would need a fresh coat of paint...

The sudden barrage of plans made Sariel's head explode. Never mind, let Michael handle the hassles; after all, he was in charge of the Golden Empire.

Sariel entered the family chat group: "Dear fellow angels, there are results..."

Everyone was in an uproar!
Michael was shocked: "Have you found out where the Siren came from?"

A butler replied: "No! Such a monster does not exist in the current database. It only appears in the background story of the game. It is very likely that the AI ​​loaded the plot module on its own and presented the monster from the background story."

Michael laughed. "Interesting! This is a major advancement in artificial intelligence."

Sariel said dissatisfiedly: "It's meaningless!"

Michael said with relief, "Think about it, your mermaid was custom-made and forcibly placed in this world. Its existence lacks logical support, and it was the AI ​​that made up for this logical flaw on its own."

Sariel finally understood. "When I captured the mermaid, the intervening NPC didn't appear. Now it's basically confirmed that the whale from the Shenqian team is not qualified to be an intervening NPC. So this Siren should be the intervening NPC?"

Everyone agreed: "This is indeed a very novel intervention method."

Sariel said in a deep voice, "But this doesn't explain the disappearance of the cargo on the two ships and the plague among the crew. I suspect it was that rat who did it—of course, he doesn't have the ability to do that, but it must be related to him!"

Michael agreed. "It's indeed necessary to scout this Plague Island. There's a Golden Empire search warship in the waters surrounding the Plague Island. I'll use my privileges to mobilize it. If we go full speed, we'll arrive in about two hours."

Sariel: "What about the cruise ship?"

Michael: "We can only talk to your Silver City Lord about this matter. After all, he is the biggest victim..."

Sariel was helpless: "Okay, I'll try my best."

Michael laughed and said, "Speaking of which, Silver City suffered huge losses due to the closure, but Black Iron City is bustling with activity. Team Tata and Team Shenqian are planning to lure away all the siege monsters outside the city. Once this wave of siege is over, these two teams will completely overwhelm the professional teams. This means the championship of the first PK competition will be handed over to them!"

Sariel was anxious: "I can't stand it! Uriel, do you have a solution?"

Uriel sighed, "Leading this bunch of idiots to encircle and suppress the six-headed flame snake of the abyss is causing constant problems. Let's talk about it when I come back."

Everyone sighed, "Alas, Uriel's big gift package is in hell. This is the most special and troublesome one. There's no point in being anxious."

"We are all partners in Lost Paradise, not professional players. Just bear with this level."

Uriel said helplessly, "If too many of them die, the six-headed snake will become seven-headed. Forget it. When I return to the city, I will use my privilege to issue a wanted order and see if there are any NPCs willing to take action."
