Chapter 363: The Greedy Mine? Fight Greed with Non-Greed

Ailian's radar was turned on, but the map could not be expanded much, only about a few dozen steps, and it was very blurry.

Ailian was shocked: "How could it be?"

Dachun was also shocked. With the strength of the Ailian radar back then, it would have no problem covering half of the sewer, let alone now. It shouldn't be so short!
Dachun remembered the Beelzebub skill he had just upgraded, and activated Holy Tracking and Filthy Tracking.

The result...cannot be said to be a poor performance, only that there was no response!

Does this mean that this place is neither holy nor unclean?
Dachun subconsciously touched the wall of the pit beside him and felt the friction of sand, just like the cement wall of an unfinished house.

Is this? Could it be that some kind of absorbing structure or material is preventing the radar waves from returning, thus limiting their range?

Then activate the earth vein perception!

The surrounding terrain slowly revealed a rough outline, but this outline was obviously different from the surrounding map detected by the Ailian radar, and the perception distance was not as good as the radar!

Oh shit, could it be that this special material interferes with the use of earth rune magic?
Ailian was a little panicked: "This place is too weird!"

Dachun was already exhausted, and being forced into this bizarre situation was quite upsetting. According to them, if I could handle this, the city lord would let me out. Was this considered a test?
But why should I go out? I went to jail to cooperate with the mermaid, why should I let the city lord manipulate me? Even if he is my father-in-law, it won't work.

I'm giving up and not cooperating!
Dachun sighed, "Ailian, why don't we just stay here? If there really is some midnight evil spirit, it will naturally come to us, saving us the trouble of searching everywhere."

Ailian smiled: "Well, if it really is an evil spirit, we have 100 of us here, are we afraid that we can't defeat it?"

That’s right! Dachun immediately felt confident: “Then you can take care of it.”

So Dachun took a quick rest to catch up on his sleep.

Until the network administrator knocked on the door: "Brother Chun..."

It's noon! It's midnight in the game.

Dachun glanced at the screen and was shocked! Something was really wrong! I couldn't force the computer to shut down and log off, could I?

Dachun shouted anxiously, "Brother, just put it on the ground outside! I'll be out later."

The young man said without further ado: "Okay, Chun Ge!"

At this time, the previously pitch-black tunnel was lit up with the light of mining helmet lamps everywhere, overlapping human figures, a psychedelic scene of light and shadow, and the clanging sound of mining echoed throughout the tunnel.

Holy shit, it really does look a bit like the Island of the Dead! But the Island of the Dead only shows up when it gets dark, but here it shows up at midnight?
Fortunately, I didn’t get any hint that I was under any threat of attack!

In short, let's not start a war for now. Even if a war breaks out, having Airen take over is better than me.

Dachun then opened the door and took the food with confidence, and then suddenly found that the young man was standing at the stairs watching from afar.

Dachun was stunned for a moment!
The young man waved and smiled, "I'm worried. I have to see Chun Ge come out with my own eyes."

Is he worried that someone might spit in the food?
Dachun smiled: "Okay, I'm busy!"

So he took the plate back, closed the door, and ate while observing the movement. There was no movement until Dachun finished eating.

Dachun finally freed up his hands to officially board the machine. Ailian spoke, "Dear, our contract space has received a large amount of black fog, all of which is due to the intense desire for money!"

Dachun was shocked: "So, the evil spirits here are all greedy and obsessed?"

Ailian exclaimed, "It's Silver City, after all! It's said that in the early days of development, it was all mountains of gold and silver. Every hoe of ore mined by the miners was worth money. One hoe was equivalent to a month's salary for an ordinary worker. It would be strange if they didn't go crazy..."

Dachun asked, "Can we withstand this black fog?"

Ailian wasn't sure. "We can even withstand the Black Iron Guardian's black water, so we probably won't be afraid of more fog. It's just that this Greedy Mist is too pure. If it doesn't work, we can use the crystals in the mansion to transcend it."

That's right! So what should we do now? Go deep into the mines and talk to these evil spirits? But there's no naked beauty like those people mentioned...

While he was thinking, a violent roar came from the trumpet lotus.

Dachun was shocked and rushed over to take a look. Although the trumpet was buried in the soil, he could already feel the ground shaking with incredible force.

Dilian whispered, "Father, it seems the storm outside has stopped, and the eggs in the cave have hatched—"

Before he finished speaking, there were several loud roars and various collisions!

Dachun was shocked: "Did they discover us?"

Di Lian said, "Maybe a few eggs hatched and started fighting with each other. We should take advantage of the chaos to dig deeper and hide farther away..."

How many eggs? This is indeed a Level 2 scrap mining area. You can even squander resources to raise Gu!
Dachun made up his mind and switched to Dahao: "Ailian, maybe when we go deeper, it might not be black fog anymore. Maybe it will be black rain that is completely out of control. We should not move and slowly deal with this black fog. We can talk about it when the sun rises."

Ellen laughed, "Not moving again? That's not like you."

There was no choice before, but now there is! The small account is in danger, and the big account is in trouble. You can't take risks on both ends, right?

Dachun sighed, "We must fight their greed with non-greed!"

Ailian smiled and said, "That makes sense. I'm actually quite greedy. I'm also worried that if I come across some treasure in there, I might lose control!"

Dachun was shocked. That's right! Back then, when the pirate Bad Grandpa left behind a crystal ship, Ailian personally learned how to sail it and encouraged everyone... Fortunately, she also knew her own weaknesses.

"Then it's a deal, I won't move!"

"Well, don't move!"

So Dachun focused on the trumpet. The vibrations and roars from the trumpet gradually subsided, until the last scream faded away.

It's probably just a matter of a few eggs to decide the winner, and the strongest one will emerge, right?
After making sure that there was no danger, Dachun slowly crawled out of the soil and saw a horrific sight of blue blood and broken bones all over the ground.

Di Lian said, "Mother Earth said earlier that this is a Void Cockroach. It will immediately kill and eat the ones that hatch first and then those that don't hatch in time. It's extremely ferocious. If we encounter it, we must either avoid it with all our might or kill it with all our might..."

Dachun was quite frightened, and then he heard another fight outside the cave!
"Is this star region full of these cockroaches?"

"The area I'm exploring should be. After the storm ends, new void crystals will appear in the star region. According to their habit of killing their own nests first, they should be killing each other now, and eventually a dominant one will emerge."

Kill each other?
Dachun frowned, inexplicably disgusted by these creatures. Firstly, his personal morality couldn't tolerate this kind of Gu-raising model, and secondly, he couldn't tolerate this waste of resources. Instead of letting them waste like this, why not...

Dachun took out the Eye of the Void Storm and contacted the Winged Serpent Queen: "Are you okay?"

The queen squeaked back, "Now is the most dangerous time. With the arrival of new food, the strong will redistribute their territory. I must hide until the strong rest."

"Fuck, you're the queen now, so you're the strongest one?" But we really can't take risks. Even the strongest monkey king can't beat an ordinary tiger, and a young tiger might not be able to do that either.

Dachun asked, "Then can you know where I am now?"

The queen replied, "I know. You are in cockroach territory, which is very dangerous." Dachun then asked, "If I find a wounded cockroach king, will you have a chance to destroy it?"

The Queen was silent for a moment, then finally replied, "I can give it a try!"

Dachun felt her silence. How much courage does this take?
Dachun was also infected by her: "Okay, I will fully monitor the battle situation and wait for the results..."

So Dachun quietly climbed up to the cave entrance and took a look. He was shocked to see hundreds of giant flying insects as big as airplanes fighting each other in the void, and all kinds of limbs and armor fragments were flying in the sky!

Dachun was incredulous: "Are these all newly hatched larvae? Their eggs aren't that big."

Di Lian said, "Maybe after eating some opponents, they will grow rapidly. The rune patterns on their bodies have become very different. Void creatures are indeed very different from normal creatures."

Uh, are the game developers researching alien creature templates? Dachun regretted calling her the queen, but...

Dachun asked the Queen, "Have you finished eating that Void Electric Thorn?"

The queen sighed, "I was blown away by the storm before I could finish eating. I feel very sad."

She felt unwilling to give up. This was the reason she mustered up the courage to join the war. Oh, I felt unwilling to give up too...

The queen added, "Fortunately, the crystal core was eaten."

Well, I finally feel better.

Just as Dachun was quietly waiting for the outcome of the battle, someone knocked on the door of Xiaohua's Chouhuang study.

The Ugly Emperor immediately stepped forward to open the door, and it was Michael with a smile on his face.

"Ah, hello, sage! Please come in, sir."

As he was speaking, the maid at the door came in automatically and served tea.

Michael smiled and said, "I'm sorry to disturb your studies."

The Ugly Emperor said guiltily, "Sir, I have read all five astrology books, but I haven't grasped anything. I'm simply not cut out for it. I've failed your expectations."

Michael smiled and said, "No, we should accept this result calmly. Only by giving our all can we avoid failure with no regrets."

The Ugly Emperor sighed, "Sage, you are so wise, and what you said is so right."

Michael smiled and said, "Actually, I have good news to tell you. Ms. Celia is also willing to join the expedition team. Now there are two people in the expedition team!"

The Ugly Emperor was surprised and delighted: "Ms. Celia actually——"

Dachun was also shocked. "Wow, this number one guy actually went to dig up the Earth Mother!" Luckily, I also benefited from this matter, otherwise it would be a complete steal!
The Ugly Emperor immediately came to his senses and said excitedly, "Okay, okay, the two of us are enough. No one else is needed."

Holy shit! This is an expedition team, what the hell do you think you can just have a private time with just two of you?
Michael also smiled: "Well, two people are still not enough. I will still find a way to recruit more people."

The Ugly Emperor felt a little uncomfortable: "Why not ask Mr. Gauss? I feel like he's very lonely and bored. Maybe an adventure can help him relax."

Dachun's heart skipped a beat! As expected of you, you brought the mathematician on board directly. From now on, when the void encounters various runes of natural spirits, they will calculate them on the spot!
Michael was stunned. "Him? Even if I were a sage, I wouldn't be able to talk to him. But your math is pretty impressive, you can give it a try."

The Ugly Emperor sighed and said, "Alright, I'll find him once I figure out this problem."

Michael smiled again and said, "There's another good news. I spent a little money to redesign the boat. It's not that old anymore. If you're free in the next couple of days, you can go to the shipyard and familiarize yourself with it."

The Ugly Emperor smiled and said, "No problem! I've been doing odd jobs on ships since I was a kid, and later on spaceships as well. I'm very familiar with it!"

Dachun was stunned. "Aren't you a big shot in Black Iron City? You didn't tell me you've been doing odd jobs on a ship since you were a kid?"
Michael smiled and said, "Okay, I'll just tell you the good news. I won't bother you anymore."

The Ugly Emperor also picked up the five books and returned them respectfully, saying, "Goodbye, sage..."

Well, now that everything is fine, I will continue to monitor the battlefield.

……

Michael left the library in a good and bad mood.

The bad news is, is astrology really that difficult? He hasn't mastered it in six textbooks? Perhaps Joker's technical intelligence isn't suited to this kind of metaphysics. He should just put down his work and learn it himself. After all, failure is the only way to avoid regrets if you give it your all, and he's been so busy that he hasn't really given it his all.

Michael asked Uriel again in the chat group: "Uriel, what did you learn about the astrology that we monitored earlier?"

Uriel said, "The previous video footage was just looking at the treasure appraisal book... The later footage was just flipping through the entire book."

Will he or won't he...

Michael was getting anxious, so he asked, "Haven't you encountered any pirates or sirens yet?"

Uriel was anxious: "Yes, it's past midnight, and we haven't received any distress calls from any ships in distress, and there are no signs of any missing ship signals."

Michael sighed, "Is this the cunning or weakness of the first generation?"

Metatron said, "He must have been weak! I've calculated the strength of the first generation of Pirate Kings. Back then, the Golden Continent had many powerful sea monsters, and they could have fought to survive, obtaining a large number of high-end magic crystal cores as their driving force. But now, there are no powerful sea monsters in the Golden Continent. His Sea Overlord is struggling to recover after last night's intense battle. If he doesn't appear tonight, he might not appear for the next few days or even a week."

Uriel was shocked: "That makes sense!"

Michael laughed and said, "That does make sense! But we have to say in the propaganda that it's all thanks to the mermaid guardian!"

Uriel smiled: "That's for sure..."

……

At this time, Dachun had calmed down from the shock of the planes on the battlefield. Not only was he not shocked, he was also bored waiting. Why hadn't the winner been decided yet?
At this moment, the voice of Mother Earth came from the Eye of Dibiron: "Little one, these are a large number of samples, and each sample is different!"

Dachun was shocked: "Madam, do you mean that I should fly into the void and record it as well?"

Mother Earth smiled and said, "You have the ability. They are too busy fighting to care about you."

That's right! I can directly enter the other dimension with the Space Fire, and with the Astrologer's "Predicted Attack", I can definitely dodge it, right?
Seeing that some of them were about to die, Dachun felt helpless: "Madam, why didn't you say so earlier?"

Mother Earth smiled and said, "I just came back from the shipyard and found a few old customers who used to like watching me dance..."

Damn, why are you saying this at your age?

Dachun quickly flew up into the sky with the Space Fire and recorded those who were about to die first.

Now Dachun’s mentality has changed, he just hopes that they don’t die early!
