Global Mining.

Chapter 797 Investigating Gabriel. Cassava Roast at the Arena.
Cheers erupted at the Tata Team command center.

Led by the god of war, Tata, the team secured their first victory in a professional team competition, showcasing the power of Druids to players worldwide for the first time. Although their opponents were a third-tier team from the European server, Tata desperately needed a victory to boost morale.

However, with Da Chun dominating the trending topics, Tata's victory was utterly insignificant. Especially since Da Chun was imprisoned in the Empire, yet his wheelchair was equipped with a god-tier cannon, sparking intense speculation and discussion among players worldwide.

Tata, the God of War, felt an indescribable fear and resentment. Even though he knew that he and Da Chun were no longer on the same level, in Tata's heart, Da Chun would always be just one rank higher than him. As long as Da Chun continued to be in prison, he would definitely catch up and surpass him.

Just then, Tata received a text message from Alfa.

Tata immediately logged onto the dark web and contacted them: "I'm here!"

Alpha said, "For the past two days, I've suspected that something's wrong with Gabriel. Imperial drug administration NPC officials are also investigating Gabriel, and her absence from the competition confirms my suspicions. She might not be on some mission, but simply unable to appear!"

Tata got excited: "Our Black Iron City baguettes are basically all equipped, shall we break out of the slums and test the waters?"

Alpha said, "That's right! Gabriel's baton squad has little time for training missions, so they probably won't be a match for our slum elites in a real fight. Let's defeat them first and see if Gabriel shows up!"

Tata perked up: "I get it! Why do the NPCs want to investigate Gabriel?"

Alpha said, "I'm still investigating, but it's probably related to Gabriel's abuse of privilege, and the only one worth abusing privileges for the Ten Elders is that Da Chun."

Tata exclaimed in surprise: "Metatron of Bronze City is also abusing his privileges. If the Imperial NPCs also investigate him and prevent him from appearing, wouldn't that remove the obstacle to our Bronze City Evil God Project?"

Alpha was also quite excited: "That's right! But now, we need to confirm Gabriel's situation first, without alerting Bronze City in the slightest... You act immediately, under the pretext of celebrating the first victory, and rush out of the slums."

"I'll act immediately!"

……

Top Ten Chat Group.

The first professional team match is basically over. Anyway, none of the five players encountered the Chinese team. They either played it easy or won. It's not a big deal.

The key point is that even Da Chun knows how to demonstrate his strength and dignity as the number one player in front of global players, so when the other top players encounter the Chinese team, they naturally want to show their strength and dignity as well. Therefore, it's inappropriate to wipe out their team with a powerful weapon as soon as they meet; the best approach is to defeat them without using any powerful weapons, or even without taking any action at all.

Therefore, the experts are currently focusing on studying the match videos of several Chinese teams and developing the wargaming simulation system to determine the optimal countermeasures in the event that the experts themselves do not intervene. Compared to the huge errors in the Millennium Arena the day before yesterday, the simulations targeting the players are progressing quite smoothly, and multiple countermeasures have already been developed.

Metatron was quite pleased: "Didn't they create a super six-person team? Midnight Moore isn't in the team."

Gabriel laughed and said, "That means the manhunt was effective; he couldn't form a group."

The butler added, "We also didn't find him participating in individual or free-for-all competitions."

Metatron chuckled, "Is this a way to avoid our attention?"

Gabriel laughed and said, "After all, it's already midnight here. He's probably waiting for us to go to sleep."

Sariel laughed: "Sleep? He's dreaming!"

The butler came to report: "We've discovered something unusual about the Chinese players in various cities; they're buying cheap alcohol and cigarettes everywhere."

Xila immediately became alert: "Are they imitating their idol? Or are they trying to give Dachun cigarettes and alcohol on the field?"

Michael frowned: "If they're sending cigarettes and alcohol to Da Chun for the competition, what does that mean?"

Xila laughed: "This shows that Dachun deliberately released a smokescreen to confuse us and make us think that his skill is related to tobacco and alcohol."

Sariel frowned: "Is it possible that it really is related?"

Sila snorted: "Fine, I'm looking forward to it too. Otherwise, it's no fun if everyone just acts like a clown."

Just then, Gabriel's subordinate reported, "Madam, something's happened in Oak City. The God of War, Tata, has led hundreds of Curry out of the slums to celebrate." Gabriel was furious: "Who allowed these lowly people to take to the streets? Peace Elite troops, suppress them in the street! Send me the live stream footage!"

"Received, ma'am!"

The live stream showed hundreds of Currymen wielding baguettes in a chaotic battle with Gabriel's baton-wielding police force, and Currymen even seemed to have the upper hand!

Gabriel was furious: "Sariel, look at the baguettes your mermaid is selling!"

Sariel laughed: "Great! Baguettes against police batons, the baguettes will definitely suffer damage, so we can sell more. Since we probably can't win anyway, we might as well lose one round, advertise the baguettes, and make players all over the world want to buy them!"

Gabriel was furious: "Are you crazy?! The baton-wielding police force is the cornerstone of our order!"

Sariel scoffed: "At worst, I'll come to Oaktown myself and wipe out all this curry for you."

Gabriel scoffed, "No need, let's leave it at that."

……

One p.m.

Da Chun took a short nap, but he couldn't resist the urge to compete any longer.

I should let Seraphim know in advance: "Elder, I'm going to the competition. I'm leaving this to you."

In reality, it's all a facade. Giving that greeting is tantamount to telling the Ten Elders that my skill has a cooldown of nearly an hour. They may not believe that my skill is related to alcohol, but they should at least believe about the cooldown, right?

"Okay, I wish the president victory in the competition."

Da Chun re-entered the arena and once again became the focus of all the players.

Then several joyful shouts immediately rang out from the crowd: "We really ran into Brother Chun!" "Brother Chun, catch him!!"

Those who call me Brother Chun are naturally players from the Chinese region!

Da Chun immediately waved his hand, and a bunch of packaging boxes flew over the crowd!

Holy crap, buying so much? You guys are making things difficult for me!
Da Chun didn't care about saving face anymore. He forced himself to sit up and grabbed one in his left hand and one in his right!
At this moment, disregarding decorum is telling the Ten Elders that cigarettes and alcohol are truly important, and that they really believe it's just for the sake of decorum.

The remaining few couldn't be delivered, but some foreign players near Dachun received them and, surprisingly, they quickly brought them over, saying, "Thanks, Bu Rou! Let's take a picture!"

Huh? Shit bro? The translation of "哥" (brother)?

Da Chun smiled and said, "OK!"

When Da Chun looked at the packaging, he exclaimed, "Holy crap! The cheapest fake liquor made from cassava!" No wonder he bought such a huge pile!

Anyway, the gifts given out at the competition will be wiped out as soon as the competition ends, so just drink them all.

Da Chun then opened the bottle and gestured to the audience: "I'm cheering, you can do as you please!"

Then...

The stadium erupted in cheers!

Since no one could threaten him, Da Chun didn't care about them and just drank with his head tilted back.
