Global Mining.

Chapter 189 Curry Controls the Bottom
Uriel was genuinely interested. "No matter how difficult the task, I will bravely face it. Could you please tell me about it, Ms. Orica?"

Orika shook her head. "We're all here to work. What mission can I give you? I'm just telling you about something very difficult to handle. The difficulty lies in the uncertainty of the information and the long timeline. Just yesterday, Dark Moon City uncovered a secret room of the Black Hand organization in the sewers. They learned that a hundred years ago, they discovered a secret passage that could reach the surface world and smuggled out a particularly valuable item!"

Uriel was stunned. A hundred years ago? Any events related to a hundred years ago in the game's background were related to the development team's internal debugging!

Uriel asked in surprise, "From the 7th floor directly to the ground? Such channels are controlled by the Demon God Temple!"

Olika said, "That's why I said the news is uncertain!"

Uriel asked again: "What are the particularly valuable items?"

Olika said: "I don't know, not sure!"

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

Olika said, "I don't know! But the Dark Elves have always been loyal servants of the Black Dragon God. Their access to particularly valuable items is probably related to the Black Dragon."

Uriel asked again, “So what should I do?”

Olika sighed, "I'm just telling you! The vice president is a sage, and he's shown such extraordinary abilities. Perhaps only you can solve this difficult puzzle."

Kaisa smiled and said, "Let the sage take care of the headaches. I think our guild's mission should still focus on the two mining masters to maximize the benefits. What do you think?"

Uriel said, "I support it, but I have a vague idea. I'll think about it first."

……

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

The chat group was in an uproar: "What's going on?"

Uriel posted the screen recording of his conversation with the dark elf in the group.

Michael said seriously, "Indeed, anything related to a hundred years ago must have happened during the development period!"

Gabriel said, "But no one has ordered a gift package related to dark elves?"

Uriel said in a deep voice, "That's why I said it was a private change! With a database as big as a pile of shit, it's hard to detect if a programmer tampered with it!"

Everyone was surprised: "Was it Curry Programmer who did it?"

Uriel said solemnly, "Please remove the question mark! Butler, check the project!"

Butler: "Please wait!"

Gabriel became interested. "Assuming this incident is related to the item the Black Dragon lost, what could be that item that could play a significant role in the surface world?"

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

Gabriel continued to reason, "Assuming the source code is a dragon egg, then after a hundred years of evolution, it should have hatched and become a baby dragon. A baby dragon doesn't have the ability to transform into a humanoid form, so it can only be in a dragon cave in the wild, or beneath a volcano. It also has to be close to a player town, making it easy for someone to tamper with it. So, there can be no more than five areas that meet these conditions!"

Michael agreed. "There's a volcano pioneer village in the inland areas of each of the five main cities! If it's from Curry, then it's most likely in the Iron Flame pioneer village outside Black Iron City."

Sullivan said disdainfully, "This kind of furtive code modification doesn't even consider interfering with NPCs. Perhaps the dragon has already been captured by the village, or has become its guardian deity, making it impossible for players to obtain it."

Soon, the butler reported back, "The only relevant project organizer is the Tata Team. They've customized a hidden Beast Tamer class and a Sewer Dog King event for the Tata God of War. The cost was very low, less than 1000 million." Michael said, "The Beast Tamer isn't considered a custom job; ordinary players can trigger it as long as they're a strict vegetarian. The truly customized event is the Sewer Dog King event."

The butler continued to report: "The Dog King's collar has upgraded artifact properties and can control dragons!"

Everyone laughed in surprise: "You guessed it right!"

Michael said, "The programmers simply forcibly transferred the dragon egg code, but once it was officially put into operation, the dragon's appearance on the surface didn't conform to the world's logic. The intelligent system then loaded a plot module, leading to the so-called Black Hand organization stealing the egg a hundred years ago."

Uriel said angrily, "I'm afraid it's more than just a dragon egg! The incident of Dachun stealing things from Earl Ramir Khan's mansion also reveals a lot of problems. Our foundation has been controlled by these curries. I suggest that all of them be fired!"

Everyone was silent.

Michael sighed, "Who will replace them? The Chinese?"

Uriel sighed, "Brother, it's not that we don't have our own knowledgeable people, it's just that the salary is a little higher—"

Michael said helplessly, "So what if they're our own people? They'll still be lazy and secretly subcontract the project to Curry. Some people haven't written a single line of code in years..."

Gabriel sighed, "Let's investigate the person who altered the dragon egg. He might have already left."

Michael sighed, "Investigate it... Let the butler handle it. Remember, it must be kept confidential. Don't leak things like the gift package."

Butler: "Yes, sir."

Michael said, "Anyway, the plot has loaded a passage that leads directly to the ground, which is also beneficial for Uriel to control Hell."

Uriel had no choice but to accept the reality: "I understand..."

……

After the meeting, Uriel decided to personally speak with the Black Dragon Lord. Now that he had analyzed the incident, he would turn it into a mission, gain the Black Dragon Lord's trust, and make her the cornerstone of his ascent to the top of Hell.

The Black Dragon Lord warmly received Uriel: "What is the matter, Mr. Sage?"

Uriel asked, "Did the Lord lose a dragon egg a hundred years ago?"

The lord was suddenly startled: "How did you know?"

Uriel smiled confidently, "I am a sage after all! I suspect it is currently in Iron Flame Village on the surface world. Of course, I have no evidence, so I need to investigate. However, since we are in the seventh layer of Hell, investigating that passage is also very difficult."

The lord came to his senses and said, "Then I will entrust Mr. Sage to investigate!"

Uriel said, "I'm afraid this isn't something I can do alone. Should I ask the Chamber of Commerce to do this?"

The lord was excited: "Very good!"

— Chamber of Commerce Announcement: Vice President Uriel has accepted the Black Dragon Fortress quest "Investigating the Disappearance of Dragon Eggs Centuries Ago." Mission Clue 1: Investigate the Black Hand Organization's smuggling routes. Mission Clue 2: Investigate the current situation in Tieyan Village, Black Iron City...

……

At this time, Dachun, who was organizing the construction of the Little Giant, was stunned by the sudden announcement from the Chamber of Commerce!
I was just wondering how the boss was progressing, and he came with a big mess!
