Global Mining.

Chapter 361: The small planet disappears and a void exploration team is formed

Dachun thought that Michael would definitely come to monitor and comfort him. Since he could get nonsense teaching materials from the imperial astrologer, he must be able to get serious teaching materials?

As a master level 5 astrologer, it’s not too much to ask for you to take a glance at the serious textbooks, right?

Xiao Hua then typed to the Ugly Emperor: "I have finished studying this book. If the Sage comes to ask about it, you can ask him to change it..."

The Ugly Emperor nodded in surprise.

Dachun felt very relieved. Although he was a loser in front of his mathematics, fortunately astrology made him win.

This night of Dachun's all-nighter is a success, so make the most of the time to catch up on some sleep.

But before going to bed, I still check on the movements of the small earth lotus.

As a result, when I switched to my secondary account, I felt the screen shaking and Dilian was lying motionless in an egg hole.

Di Lian said, "Father is here, and it seems to be starting to blow outside. I don't dare to go out."

Void Storm?

Dachun immediately became worried about the Winged Serpent Queen and immediately pulled out the Eye of the Void Storm to contact her: "Are you okay?"

The eye of the storm was completely dark, but the queen's squeak could be heard: "Changed to a different place, it's okay."

Ah, it’s good to know that we should change places.

Only then did Dachun log off with peace of mind.

……

Game time is 6pm.

Michael arrived at the library "on time" and "happened" to meet Mr. Clown who came out to exchange books.

The Ugly Emperor greeted: "Hello, wise sir!"

Michael asked with a smile, "How are your studies going, friend?"

The Ugly Emperor helplessly took out the astrology book and said, "Sir, I have read this book many times, but I feel it is even harder than mathematics. Can you change to a simpler one?"

Michael had originally planned to give up if it was too difficult, but since he was still insisting, Michael decided to give it a try: "Well, in fact, even the Imperial Astrologer Hubble said that this book is the most difficult and suggested changing it if you can't do it, so I will go and change it."

"Thank you so much, Sage."

Michael smiled. "No problem. Actually, I want to ask you something. Considering your age, do you know anything about the deeds of the first Pirate King?"

The Ugly Emperor laughed. "I was only a few years old then, but I knew the rumor about the Pirate King going to search for a meteorite from outer space. I don't know anything else."

Michael was surprised and asked, "A meteorite from outer space?"

The Ugly Emperor sighed, "I remember it was night time. Suddenly, a small sun appeared in the night sky and fell towards the distant ocean. The entire night was like day!"

Michael was shocked! This was most likely the fallen Divine Stone Ore Star he had customized, otherwise he wouldn't have alarmed the Pirate King to go looking for it! But that wasn't the point.

Michael felt he had found an opportunity to inquire about the Joker's identity and background: "Where were you then?"

The Ugly Emperor said, "At that time, I seemed to be a child laborer on a luxury cruise ship of the empire."

Michael was stunned: "There is no child labor in the Empire."

The Ugly Emperor sighed, "Really! There are many who only get two meals a day without any wages."

What's going on?
Michael hurriedly asked, "Where are your parents originally from?"

The Ugly Emperor shook his head. "I don't remember. Maybe I'm an orphan. I only remember spending my childhood in the bottom cabin of a cruise ship with a group of other children."

Michael asked again, "How did you develop later?"

The Ugly Emperor shook his head. "I've been to various cities, but the luxury of the Imperial Cruise left such a deep impression on me during my childhood. I feel that the New City and the Empire can't compare. I have to return to the Empire no matter what!"

Michael's brows jumped: "Those who can enter the Golden Throne are all extraordinary people!"

Of course, there are exceptions to the pub's idle drinking and eating, they are all descendants of the lower class. But it is not possible without some people doing low-level jobs.

The Ugly Emperor was embarrassed. "Maybe, I'm an exception. I simply used my life savings to purchase citizenship to enter the Golden Throne. Although I was too old to find a job by then, I thought that even if I died, dying in the church of the Golden Throne would be the fulfillment of my life."

Michael was shocked: "It's a huge sum of money to buy the qualification to enter the city!"

The Ugly Emperor shook his head and smiled. "Actually, it depends on the situation and timing. Twenty years ago, a mining accident occurred in the Golden Throne, killing a large number of miners. The Throne was in urgent need of miners and funds, so I came here to register with my life savings—in principle, the money was far from enough, but fortunately, the examiner felt that I was old and dying and wouldn't occupy a place for long, so it would be a waste not to accept the money... Mr. Sage, you should understand the ins and outs of this."

Michael was stunned: "But you are healthy!"

The Ugly Emperor smiled: "After all, reaching the throne of God is my lifelong wish. No matter what, I must work hard to live longer to make the most of it!"

This sincerity and wit really moved Michael: "So, you were also a void miner?"

"I worked there for two years, then had to make way for the younger guys. Then I worked as a cleaner on a mining ship. Then I made way for the younger guys again. And now I'm a clown."

Michael exclaimed, "My friend, your life experience is a treasure trove. You are so modest. Your passion for learning alone is truly remarkable. I will immediately go and exchange books with the Imperial Astrologer."

"Then I'll trouble you, sir."

Although he said a lot, Michael felt that the Joker was far more than that. At least he didn't actually say what he was doing in his youth.

When we arrived at the observatory, we found that Hubble's telescope was not looking into the deep space, but looking straight ahead from an unfamiliar angle.

Michael greeted first: "Mr. Hubble!"

Hubble stared at the telescope without looking up: "Mr. Sage has arrived! I just made a strange discovery."

Michael looked in the direction of the telescope. Isn't this the direction that President Beelzebub is heading towards the void planet belt?
Hubble continued, "A storm is brewing in the Void Storm Zone, and Star Object 2041 has disappeared!"

Michael was stunned: "Blown away too?"

Hubble wondered, "It appears so! But I don't see any trace of it turning into a meteorite and falling to the continent. Furthermore, the structure of this star region is very stable, which is really hard to explain."

Michael asked in surprise: "Could it be a human factor?"

Hubble was surprised and asked, "Has anyone been there?"

"This one……"

Michael didn't know how to explain it. "I mean, was a star teleported away artificially?"

Hubble was stunned. "The amount of magical power required is unimaginable. Theoretically, it's possible! But logically, it's completely unfeasible. Who would expend such a tremendous amount of power to teleport a small, unremarkable star?"

Michael's mind raced, his first reaction being Beelzebub! However, they simply couldn't possibly possess this power. Not only them, but even the Beelzebub Demon King might not be able to do it. Exclude!
The second reaction is whether the curry programmer has caused all kinds of sequelae again?

However, none of this seems to matter. What matters is that I have gained an opportunity!
Michael said, "Mr. Hubble, this strange thing subverts our understanding and is very likely to pose a threat! With your authority, can you report to the throne and approve a void ship to investigate?"

Hubble was stunned. "This... Although I have the authority, it's in the Void Storm Zone, which is a very dangerous area. It will be difficult to get approval."

Michael said, "It doesn't matter if the other investigators don't want to go. I can form a civilian team to take a look. Even if it's just to approve a scrapped old ship, that's fine."

Michael's main goal was to first obtain a voidship and then form his own team. Once he had the ship, he could travel around under the guise of investigation, and the archaeological team was established!
It's undeniable that even if you're the most privileged player, you'll encounter more powerful NPCs the higher you reach, even if you're laden with artifacts. This is the limiting mechanism of the intelligent system, and Uriel encountered the same situation.

On the contrary, it was much easier for Sariel and Raphael, who lived in ordinary cities, to mobilize a warship. Of course, it was not that easy, as Sariel was always under the control of the navy.

Therefore, it was extremely important to find a way to get a high-end ship of his own, even if it was an old one! As for the candidate, Michael had already decided on the Joker, after all, his experience was a mystery!

Hubble thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but since Mr. Sage has suggested it, Mr. Sage, please come with me."

"That's for sure!"

It seems that this matter will most likely require the use of privilege points.

Michael thought about his business again and took out the textbook. "By the way, Mr. Hubble, this book is too difficult. Can you change to an easier one?"

Hubble laughed heartily. "As expected of a product by Ms. Celia! I'm relieved when you say that. You can use the textbook I wrote. However, it also has its shortcomings. It's based on my personal experience—"

Michael said hurriedly, "But Mr. Hubble is a genius. Of course, from a genius's perspective, it might be difficult for ordinary people to understand. How about you lend me a few textbooks?"

"This one……"

……

Abandoned mines in Silver City. Sariel was about to go out to sea to deal with the Pirate King's night raid, but even so, he still found time to come and see Dachun. In fact, he should have come when he woke up in the afternoon. After all, where did Remya get the information about the first Pirate King?

Several members of the Silver Demon Team were silently barbecuing and drinking. They were neither laughing and joking as usual, nor did they greet him.

Sariel was not happy, but he was even more unhappy about the greeting, because their address was "Wise Boy" which was very rude.

It doesn't matter. Sariel looked directly at the interior of the warehouse through the magic crystal screen. Dachun was lying in his wheelchair, asleep offline.

Then, to his shock, he discovered that his handcuffs and shackles had been undone! This... This must be Remia!

Sariel immediately checked the surveillance footage and suddenly realized that there was no footage of Remya's visit. There was only a blank period in the surveillance footage!

What's this? Did Remia turn off the magic crystal screen? Is she interrogating someone about secrets?
Sariel felt very uncomfortable and asked several people, "When did the Bishop come?"

Everyone sighed, "The Bishop isn't as fragrant as he was the day before yesterday!"

"That's right, the scent from the day before yesterday made me want to just pull down her pants..."

Sariel was furious: "Don't be rude to the bishop!"

Everyone also stood up in anger: "How dare you be rude to us!?"

"Whether the bishop comes or not is none of your business!?"

Sariel saw that they were about to hit someone, but he just couldn't believe it: "I am a sage, be aware of the consequences - ah!"

I just felt someone grab my feet and knock me down, and then stomped on my back!

How dare you hit me!

The facts forced Sariel to believe that their other identity was gang thugs. If they were to injure themselves severely, no healing would be effective. If they were to delay their mission at sea tonight...

"Apologize to the gentlemen!"

How could I admit my mistake!

Sariel immediately activated his invincibility and transformed into an angel to run away, but as soon as he activated his invincibility, the surrounding environment suddenly turned black!
Sariel once again entered the dark space from the day before yesterday!

Even though he transformed into an angel and flew at lightning speed, he could not escape the scope of this space!
Sariel pulled out his magical weapon and prepared to bombard it—the system prompted: No target locked! Unable to use...

Sariel panicked. The day before yesterday, Remya had protected him, and he hadn't taken it seriously. Now it seemed the gap in level and skill was simply too huge! No, it was a complete dimensionality reduction attack!

Admit your mistakes decisively!

"It's my fault. I'm sorry..."

A faint laugh came from the darkness: "I didn't hear it..."

Sariel shouted anxiously: "I was wrong..."

There was no response from the darkness, and Sariel didn't want to waste the energy of transforming, so he immediately admitted his defeat: "I was wrong!"

The next moment, the darkness disappeared, and Sariel just returned to the real space, but his foot loosened and he was knocked down, and was stomped down wildly by a big foot!

"Apologies to the gentlemen, I didn't hear you just now!"

Sariel was so miserable: "My Lord, I was wrong!"

Everyone was finally satisfied: "Wise boy, you understand now, we are the death warriors who do the dirty work for the city lord! Even the city lord has to be polite to us, let alone you!"

"Boy, you don't want the news of your beating to spread all over the city, right?"

"Get out of here!"

Sariel had no choice but to flee amid the laughter of the crowd. He was furious and helpless, and he really didn't dare to report them!
But this hatred is all because of Dachun! Never mind this grudge, next time I come, I will go straight into the warehouse and beat Dachun severely!
But how should I face them next time?
Dachun should be transferred back to a normal prison, but is it still possible to transfer?
At this moment, Sariel suddenly realized a troublesome situation. Was it because Dachun was also a gang member with a very low reputation, and he happened to be against them?

……

7: am.

Dachun, who had slept for three hours, was awakened by the network administrator knocking on the door: "Brother Chun?"

Dachun suddenly woke up: "Ah, I'm here!"

The young man laughed and said, "This morning, it's Chun Ge's favorite eel hand-rolled noodles!"

Dachun smiled and said, "Thank you! By the way, how's Weishen's progress this night?"

The young man said, "That little mountain god we met last night is getting more and more arrogant. Wei Shen and the others have switched to the Dark Crossbow Warrior class to kill him. But the crossbows in Black Iron City are not of good quality."

Huh? Indeed, Bronze City's shipbuilding and vehicle-building machinery is truly exceptional, unless... well, I can't go to Bronze City, so I really can't help you.

Dachun asked again: "Is there anything else?"

"That's all. Just eat slowly, Chun."

After breakfast, Dachun came online again.

My main account is idle. I look at my secondary account, still in the void storm. I look at my small flower account, but there are no books to read.

Ah, this life...has it suddenly become so boring?

Just then, the cell door opened and those men came in again.

"Here comes the boy, dinner!"

In fact, I missed dinner time, Dachun felt a little embarrassed: "Thank you!"

Everyone snorted coldly: "After eating, continue playing a few more hands!"

Damn it! If you lose, you'll just deny it! If I lose, will you let me go?
Dachun was troubled and said, "Well, I'm a criminal. This isn't good."

Everyone laughed: "Prisoner? Where's the judge's approval? Where's the prison's approval?"

Dachun immediately remembered that he had indeed not followed the procedures: "Yes, why didn't you get the approval document?"

Everyone laughed: "Why do you need approval? If they say you are, then you are. If they say you are not, then you are not!"

"If the uncles say you are not one, then you are not one. Let's play cards after eating!"

Dachun's eyebrows jumped: "You said I'm not a criminal?"

Everyone laughed: "Don't believe me? You can just wheel your wheelchair around the surrounding mines!"

"Just now there was a kid talking a lot of shit. I was annoyed with him, so I beat him up and ran away! No one will bother you in this area from now on."

Dachun couldn't believe it. They beat up the second person? That was a privileged player!
The point is, these guys suddenly became more favorable to me. Was it because I beat them at cards? Was it something Remya told me to do? Was it because I lost my reputation and they were just heroes?

Ailian smiled: "My dear, it's just right. I still want to continue practicing the magic mirror. Let me play cards later."

"Alright! I better take a break."

So after dinner, Ailian took over Dachun's body and the card game started again.

Dachun had indeed discovered that the magic mirror's tracking and marking had become more proficient. Just as they were about even, Xiaohua suddenly made a move.

The first person came and knocked on the study door!
The Ugly Emperor immediately went out to greet him: "Ah, Mr. Sage, please!"

Michael smiled and said, "There are two important things this time. First, I borrowed a set of astrology textbooks from Mr. Hubble. Besides his own, there are also books written by other famous astrologers. You can try to read them and follow them according to your ability."

After saying that, he took out five divine astrology books in one breath!
"Fuck, Dachun and Chouhuang were both stunned! Am I trying to learn from everyone? If I don't become a Grandmaster, I'd be doing him a disservice!"

Michael continued, "Another major event is that Mr. Hubble suddenly discovered that a star in the star region disappeared in a void storm, but there was no trace of a meteor crashing into the continent. This anomaly has also attracted the attention of the throne! So I successfully applied for an old void spaceship and plan to set up a civilian investigation expedition team. I sincerely invite you, my friend, to be the expedition leader!"

Dachun was shocked again! Could it be that the planet where the queen was found was gone?
The Ugly Emperor was also surprised: "Me?"

Michael said solemnly, "Yes! Because I'm too busy with my duties and can't leave, so I thought of you. But this star region is very dangerous, it doesn't matter if you don't want to go!"

The Ugly Emperor laughed: "Mr. Sage, I am old and dying. Why should I be afraid of death? I am willing. When should I set off?"

Michael said comfortingly, "We're still waiting for the old equipment to be refurbished and adjusted at the shipyard. It might take two or three days at the earliest. You have plenty of time to read. Actually, exploring the dangerous zone isn't the goal. It's just the right opportunity to form an archaeological team. We can use the spacecraft to explore the empire later!"

Ah, I see! But, this first person was just doing archaeology, not looking for the sacred stone?
