Global Mining.

Chapter 265 Target, God-level Rune

Following the instructions on the city map, Dachun found the magnificent and glittering treasure guild.

Dachun didn't like such gaudy decorations. According to the convention, the more ostentatious something is, the less likely it is to have good stuff. So, did the boss use a backdoor to hide in the rustic Tuyan tribe?
Then he was stopped by the guard: "Ordinary people are not allowed to enter."

Dachun showed his points card to the security guard, who said respectfully, "Sir, you have a distinguished points card, so you can go to the third floor to make your purchase."

Oh? Dachun still wanted to see it all: "I'll start by looking at the goods on the first floor."

"Sir please."

Entering it is like entering a museum, with all kinds of weapons, equipment, materials and machinery.

Dachun glanced at the weapons counter and was stunned. What a divine weapon with explosive attributes! He looked at the price: 300 million mining coins + respected reputation in the main city!

Looking at the other counters, they are all selling artifacts, all starting at one million and requiring reputation!
Dachun checked the points redemption, 5! Then he checked the privilege value redemption, 1!
Holy shit! There were artifacts on display for sale. So after all these days here, I only realized today that this was a city reserved for big shots? Dachun felt his head buzzing!
Dachun finally understood why he was always ranked 11th despite being so awesome! 1 privilege points could buy a divine artifact, and 3 privilege points was just the reward for the Boss to hire a guild to kill a hydra. So, it went without saying that the Boss could have as much divine gear as he wanted, not to mention how many villas and apartments he owned.

If the first floor is like this, how will the third floor explode?

Dachun didn't dare to look at the weapons and equipment, for fear that he would not be able to resist buying them.

But it is necessary to go to the material counter to check it out.

Ailian exclaimed: "Father, there is a wind-attribute material there!"

Dachun went forward to take a look and saw a whirlwind stirring inside the counter and flashes of lightning.

——Thundering Wind Dragon Horn: Artifact-level material. When carried, it provides a layer of wind and thunder barrier, increasing lightning resistance by 20% and absorbing 20 points of wind and thunder damage, increasing wind and thunder spell damage by 20%...

……

Well, although this attribute is very powerful, it feels inferior to the Earth Flame Crystal Core.

Looking at the price, it was much cheaper than the artifact. That was good, as the material price was still within Dachun's affordability. So, Dachun was looking forward to the materials on the third floor.

Then go directly to the third floor and don’t look at other weapons and equipment to avoid distracting your mind.

Entering the third floor, what you see is no longer the exhibition hall and counter layout of the first floor, but rows of shining portals.

A succubus foreman, accompanied by a row of succubus waiters, came forward and greeted them, "Welcome, sir. This is your first time on the third floor. I'd like to explain the shopping rules there. The treasures there are all rare and in limited supply. Once you make a purchase, you won't be able to shop for six months. Also, some treasures may not be available for another six months, so you must choose carefully."

Huh? Half a year? I can't possibly wait half a year for the next one...

Dachun asked, "What are these portals?"

The foreman replied, "The treasures on the third floor are usually filled with turbulent energy, making them inconvenient to display on ordinary counters. They can only be placed in the alternate dimension. We can accompany you to the alternate dimension. Could you please tell me what kind of treasure you would like to purchase and what your budget is?"

Dachun's heart skipped a beat, and he mustered up the courage to ask, "Can I bargain?"

The foreman replied: "If you buy a lot, you can upgrade your points card and get extra discounts."

Oh, that means no bargaining. Dachun was quite impressed by her professionalism. He had thought that a country bumpkin would be ridiculed for bargaining.

Dachun also said directly: "I need three kinds of materials with wind, water, and blood attributes. I have a 10 points card and 2 privilege points. I want to buy the best goods at this price."

The foreman was surprised. "A privilege value of 2? Well, sir, we'll arrange it right away!"

After saying that, he waved his hand, and a floating magic crystal screen appeared in front of the foreman, presenting a line of combinations like a menu.

"Sir, please take a look! This is the material that meets your price range! Are you satisfied?"

Dachun was truly astonished by this attribute, and immediately recalled what Dibilong had said when he had given him the crystal core: "This is just basic here..."

"Dilian, what do you think?"

"Father, very good!"

Dachun didn't waste any more words: "Then buy it!"

The foreman immediately led the waiters in bowing and said, "Thank you for your purchase, sir. Please come with us to pick up your goods!"

——System prompt: You paid 10 points and 2 privilege points to purchase the "Horn of the Ice Dragon", "Eye of the Storm Lord", and "Heart of the Blood Demon Lord".

So, Dachun followed the succubi to a portal, and the succubi all took out their staffs which were obviously artifact-level, and put layers of magic shields as thick as water walls on Dachun!

What the hell? This lineup? What level of strength is this shield?
The foreman entered first: "Sir, please!"

Dachun followed in, and the scene changed. There was a frosty white light in front of his eyes, a cold wind was howling, and the magic shield was buzzing.

Dachun found himself and a group of succubi appearing above a glacial valley. In the valley suddenly appeared a huge ice dragon trapped by huge chains and various machines!
The foreman greeted: "Pick up the goods for our valued customers!"

The next moment, a group of frost giants several stories tall appeared in the valley and held the ice dragon firmly. A mechanical circular saw creaked and sawed off the horn on the dragon's head! Only half of the horn was left on the other side of the dragon's head.

Dachun was shocked. It turned out that the goods here were picked up alive. So this is what they called scarcity!
Dachun felt extremely uncomfortable and didn't want to look at it any longer.

The foreman was extremely considerate of the customer's feelings. "This is the sin of destroying countless towns and slaughtering people of all races. It has been punished by God to suffer in Hell. This is what it deserves and is also its necessary contribution to atonement. Sir, don't worry about it."

Huh? That said, Dachun actually felt a lot better!

But how credible are your stories about hell?

In short, after the dragon horn was sawed off, it was placed in the machine next to it for various processing. Finally, a phantom of a frosty dragon horn more than three meters long floated in front of Dachun.

Dachun was a little confused. He was only a little over one meter tall. How could he fit such a thick and long thing?
——System prompt: You purchased the artifact-level material "Horn of the Ice Dragon". This artifact is too large to be placed in the inventory, so it is displayed in its external form and bound.

What the hell!

Looking at the huge shadow hanging behind him, Dachun was shocked: "Do I accept it now?"

The foreman smiled and said, "Yes! This is also the way to hold a large artifact, to display it externally. The advantage of external display is that it can make you gain the respect of others."

Just like Sariel's "Privilege" sword, it floats around the player! But this one is much bigger than his rapier!

The foreman said again, "Sir, please follow me to get the other two treasures."

So he entered the portal and returned to the third-floor hall, and then went through another portal into a cloud layer with lightning, thunder, howling winds, and unclear scenery. After another series of operations, Dachun obtained an eyeball as big as a football, which was shining with lightning.

——System prompt: You purchased the artifact-level material "Eye of the Storm Lord". This artifact is full of intense electrical energy and cannot be placed in the inventory...

Finally, Dachun was teleported to a deep pool of blood and saw a blood-red giant tied with chains. Unable to bear it, he witnessed a heart-digging operation and obtained a rumbling heart as big as a diesel engine, full of blood and steam.

The reason this time was that the vibration was too great and I couldn't put it in my bag.

Finally, the foreman bid farewell to Dachun: "Welcome to visit us again in six months..."

Dachun felt like he had walked around a slaughterhouse. He felt really uncomfortable and decided to leave quickly.

Then check the properties again:
——Horn of the Ice Dragon: High-level artifact material, dragon pressure, ice barrier, increases ice resistance by 80% and absorbs 80 points of ice damage, increases ice spell damage by 80%.

——Eye of the Storm Lord: High-level artifact material, wind and thunder charge, widens the field of vision, storm barrier, increases wind and thunder resistance by 80% and absorbs 80 points of wind and thunder damage, increases wind and thunder spell damage by 80%,

Blood Demon Lord's Heart: High-level artifact material, increases maximum health by +2000 and an additional 20% increase. Blood Demon Ward: increases your health regeneration by 80%, absorbs 10 points of damage and converts them into health, and reduces the health regeneration of enemies within the ward.

……

At that moment, Dachun's vision, widened by the eye of the storm, stretched to countless kilometers. The details of the people moving on the distant streets were vividly captured, as if he had a telescope. But Dachun didn't feel the slightest bit of joy from finding a treasure. Instead, he thought, if even these were casually sold as consumables, how powerful could the non-saleable items be? Could the Ten Lords have any non-saleable items?

Therefore, if you don't join the Treasure Guild, you're like a frog in a well, and if you join the Treasure Guild, you're just floating in the air...

At this time, Di Lian said: "Father, we are still short of two materials, fire and earth, so we can return to the Tuyan tribe."

"understood."

Dachun took out the teleportation stone and looked at its properties to heal his eyes that were blinded by the guild's light;
——Artifact Earth Crystal Core Teleport Stone: Special Skill 1: Earth Amplification. Special Skill 2: Earth Energy Absorption. Special Skill 3: Teleport to the Earth Flame Tribe.

The true attributes of a divine artifact are simple and unpretentious...

Send it.

The scene switches, and after a few seconds, they enter the Tuyan tribe.

Dachun had also thought about it. Regarding the selection to go to the Golden Empire, it was a promotion experience and in line with the leader's goal. He had to tell him and also arrange the subsequent personnel for transporting the mines.

At this moment, the Dibilong leader was surprised to see Dachun's small figure and large equipment: "These are all very good things. It seems that you have done very well!"

Oh, so it's just "good" in his eyes? Very good!

Dachun then explained his intention: "Chief, these are the materials I need to prepare for the Grandmaster level. I want to fight for a place in the human empire to train on the surface. As long as I succeed in the training, I can be promoted to a higher position when I return..."

After listening to Dachun's explanation, Dibilong was amazed: "Very good! Dilian was right to call you back. Of course I have materials related to earth fire, and they are definitely not worse than these three!"

After saying that, Dibilon suddenly stood up. This was the first time that Dachun saw Dibilon’s majestic posture standing up. It was just like... the Leshan Giant Buddha stood up!

"Everyone stay away from me!"

All the earth and fire giants in the cave left one after another, and Dachun had no choice but to leave and hide outside the cave.

The next moment, a deafening roar came from the cave, and a shock wave shot out from the cave, sweeping up the flying dust outside the cave.

Holy shit! What kind of material is he having so much trouble getting?
Finally, the tremors in the cave subsided, and Dibilon said, "Come in!" Dachun hurried in and suddenly found that Dibilon was holding a flaming ball in his hand...

Dilian was shocked: "Uncle dug one of his eyes out!"

Sure enough, one of Dibilon's eye sockets was empty, and purple flames were burning!

Dachun was incredulous: "Chief, you wouldn't do that!"

Dibilon threw the fireball in his hand over and smiled calmly: "The demons can provide fresh materials, and my Tuyan tribe will not be worse than them!"

——System prompt: You have obtained the artifact-level material "Eye of Dibilon". The energy of this artifact is so strong that it cannot be placed in the inventory. It is displayed in an external form and is bound.

Dachun felt so uncomfortable that he didn't even dare to look at the attributes! The materials used by the demons were all from slaves and prisoners of war. How could you be the same as them?
Dibilon continued, "Your rune teaching material was given to me by my mother. Of course, only my power is the best match for her rune power. I'm not satisfied with you learning only to become a master. I demand you reach the god level! In addition, even if my eyeballs are exhausted, they are not useless. They still retain the ability to contact the Earth Mother. When you reach the surface world, you can contact the Earth Mother, and she will definitely assist you!"

Dachun was so shocked that he couldn't be more shocked: "I will definitely work hard to reach the god level!"

Dilian, it all depends on you!
Dibilon said, "Once you get to the surface, you won't have to worry about transporting the ore here. Last time, the vice president of your chamber of commerce sent me an earth crystal core. Although this guy can't even catch a fish, he should have no problem transporting the ore..."

Holy shit! !
Although Dachun already knew that the big boss Uriel came here with the Earth Crystal Core that was offered as a reward by the Chamber of Commerce, and that the Earth Crystal Core was made into a Return Stone by the leader and given to him, he still heard the fact that "the vice president gave the crystal core" from the NPC himself!
What is this? Exposing other players' information, this is a scam!

Why did I let Erga be the supervisor to block the consortium? I was afraid that one day the supervisor would... Well, Bloody Mary also said to the consortium players, "Last time there was a big spring..."

Dachun was extremely terrified: "Okay, I'll follow the leader's instructions."

The leader said, "I'm a little tired, you should hurry up and upgrade your skills."

Dachun really couldn't bear to see him injured: "Then I'm leaving!"

Leaving the Tuyan tribe, Dachun was in a heavy mood and didn't want to look at the attributes of the eyeballs at all: "Earth Lotus, Shrinking Earth, Bull Head City!"

"Okay, Father!"

Dachun started the master-level running and the shrinking of the earth, and arrived at Niutou City in less than half an hour.

From the moment he entered the city gate, all the people on the road in the city were shocked by Dachun!
The cows that were still fighting stopped and looked at Dachun in shock, or to be more precise, at the four magical weapons surrounding Dachun.

It seems the guild attendant was right; displaying the artifact in public really did scare the NPCs. And it wasn't just the NPCs, what would happen if the players saw it?

"Moo~~It's the Great Elder!!"

At this time, the little guy in the gang also rushed out, extremely excited and arrogant, and surrounded him.

Walking all the way to the Mining Association, Xiaohua didn't dare to glare or blow kisses frivolously this time: "Sir, how can I help you?"

You'd better be solemn.

Dachun smiled faintly: "I'm going to see the Grandmaster..."

Xiaohua said, "The Grandmaster is still busy in the city. If you're going to the mining area, you'd better go directly to the Earth Altar."

He works very hard and cares about it!
Dachun then said to the calves around him, "Don't run around during this period. Be prepared at all times."

The young men excitedly said, "The elder is always here!"

Satisfied, Dachun entered the Earth Altar and was transported to the mine. Needless to say, even the veteran miners at the mine, who were initially expert miners, were astounded by Dachun. It's true that the more you know, the better you'll appreciate the product.

The circuit board from earlier also came over. "It seems that sir is ready. Please feel free to use the runes here."

At this point, Dachun himself was a little tired: "Di Lian, I leave it to you!"

"Okay, Father!"

The Earth Lotus officially took over the body and began to combine runes. Obviously, the expert level did not need to use artifact materials, but the start was still a flash of earth light!
——System prompt: Congratulations! Your Rune Skill has been upgraded to Expert Level 4, and you have obtained the following achievements: Mana +2, Health +2...

At this rate, becoming a master would be as easy as pie, right?
Dachun also lay down on the sofa to rest, feeling relieved.

Just after lying down for a while, I heard the network administrator knocking on the door: "Brother Chun, it's time for dinner!"

Dachun opened his eyes and saw that it was already past 5 o'clock. He should log off the game first.

Then he opened the door to receive the food, and the young man said happily: "Brother Chun, the brothers on the first floor asked me to give you a message, so that you can rest assured!"

Dachun smiled: "Okay, tell them, do whatever they want!"

"Okay, Chun Ge, take your time!"

Dachun suddenly noticed that the dinner plate was huge: "What is this?"

The young man smiled and said, "Brother Bao Chun is satisfied!"

Um...it's wine this time?
"Okay, this is the lunch plate..."

……

Dachun closed the door, opened the plate, and was stunned. A lobster!!! Judging by its size, it must be two kilograms! A two-kilogram lobster is usually from New Zealand or Australia, right? And more than that, the black stripe underneath is... a sea cucumber? And then there's the wine. Australian? French?
Holy shit! This dinner can't possibly be a staff meal!
At this moment, Dachun could no longer sit still.

This level of entertainment could only be offered by the internet cafe owner! I remember the owner said he would treat me on the day of the power outage, but I didn't go... Should I find a chance to meet the owner?

Then let's meet. Is it okay for me to call myself a master in the game now? Meeting the boss as a master won't be like the interview I had at the beginning. I'll have a different level of confidence.

……

This dinner is too much to finish...

In short, wash your hands and go online again.

——System prompt: Welcome to the Golden Continent. It is now 5:41 am in the Golden Continent time.

Then he immediately saw Dilian gave him an unexpected surprise:

——System prompt: Congratulations! Your Rune Mastery has been promoted to Master Level 1, and you have received achievement rewards: Mana +3, Health +3, and additional rewards: Wisdom +3, Spirit +3, Health +3, and Master-level Earth Rune Mastery.

——System prompt: Congratulations! Your rune skills have been promoted to Master Level 2...

Very good! In the time it takes to eat a meal, it’s like playing a game!
The trumpet continued to let Di Lian charge quietly.

Dachun switched to the large room. It was already dawn, and his disabled and weak condition was not as serious as before.

Dachun was full and full, full of energy and ambition, so he had to find something to do. He was supposed to go to the Gnoll Tribe, but he was a celebrity being targeted by undercover agents, and the place was classified. Would going there cause trouble?

Get on the car and go downstairs first.

At this time, the players in the hall on the first floor greeted one after another: "Hello, Chun Ge!" "Hello, Boss!"

Dachun waved: "Hello everyone!"

"Brother Chun, isn't your car smashed?"

Dachun was stunned. "Did I forget that detail?" I could choose not to answer, but if the undercover saw it and reported it to the consortium, they might even guess I'm a mechanic.
But then one player quipped: "What are you asking? Chun Ge's car is a magical artifact. Is it weird that it can repair itself automatically?"

Well, this reason... is acceptable!

Dachun smiled and walked away without saying anything, which was considered as his tacit agreement that this was a magical tool.

Feng Xingcuo saw Dachun appear and immediately slid down from the watchtower. He was also shocked to see the intact car: "Brother Chun, are you okay?"

Dachun smiled: "I'm fine! Um, over there in the village?"

Feng Xingcuo whispered, "Fortunately, Goddess Ning has taken the women's group to accept the mission. But there's a strange situation. There are a lot of monsters spawning outside the village, and they're not on the same path as inside the village. So we can continue to spawn monsters. It won't affect the village's reputation, but it won't increase it either."

Dachun was also surprised: "Why is this happening?"

Feng Xingcuo was also confused: "We were about to ask Chun Ge, but Chun Ge doesn't know either?"

Dachun was also helpless: "I really don't know."

Feng Xingcuo could only say, "This situation is a bit like the precursor to a monster siege. But previous sieges, including the siege during the public beta, all spawned goblins. I've never seen gnolls spawn..."

Dachun suddenly became alert! Dachun knew that the Hell Group's excessive mining would cause this phenomenon, and it was very likely a new wave of siege. But he couldn't say this openly...

Dachun could only ask in return: "If it's a siege, how will everyone respond?"

Feng Xingcuo said, "We'll definitely mobilize all the Chinese players in the city. However, the NPCs in the village are still weak, and we don't know when they will recover. But we can focus on improving the tribe's reputation and make the tribe a force for us."

Dachun was very satisfied: "Very good, now let's keep it a secret?"

"Keep it a secret! The rumor circulating now is that Chun Ge's group had a botched performance last night..."

Fine! Just keep it a secret. Not to mention the village has Lao Liu as its patron saint. Speaking of patron saints, Dachun remembered that Beigang Fishing Village should also have one.

Dachun is addicted to catching gods. While he still has time, should he also find the guardian deity of Beigang Fishing Village? However, the mermaid is too far away, making it difficult to contact her and uncertain whether he can help her. And the Siren's Evil Spirit Island is nowhere to be found...

No, none of this nonsense mattered. What mattered was that I'd been back for so long, and I still hadn't spoken to Vivian yet? Also, after I killed Beelzebub, there was no further news about Rong Mama from the church. And, should I go visit the old drunk at the shipyard and exchange experiences with him about experiencing an out-of-body experience while drinking?
Dachun said, "I want to go back to the main city."

"Okay, Brother Chun, I'll immediately arrange for my brothers to take you back."
