Global Mining.

Chapter 929 must be a very high-end orchard.

Sila actually preferred to go back to the city to buy it herself, so that she could finally get away and go into the city to do some activities to replace Dachun.

So he first asked, "Village Chief, what kind of fruit tree is that?"

The village chief exclaimed, "It should be an apple, but it has a fiery red color that we don't see anywhere else. Our village has always called it the 'Fire Apple'!"

Watt? Or rather, a unique breed!

The mentor nodded, then pulled Xila into a teleportation, leaving the surrounding players behind and arriving at the orchard outside the village in one step.

The entire group, who had been waiting anxiously, cheered: "The Elder is here!" "The Mentor is here!"

Without mincing words, Wei Shen used his vice president authority to tap on his mentor—"You have invited Twilight Bishop Artistuta to join the Chamber of Commerce!" He then waited for the other party's response.

The mentor smiled faintly.
—Shattered Bottle Merchant Guild Notification: Congratulations! Artistuta has joined the Shattered Bottle Merchant Guild, and the guild's reputation has been greatly enhanced.

So easy!!
The entire Chamber of Commerce channel was flooded with messages welcoming mentors.

The entire first-floor internet cafe erupted in cheers.

Ignoring the cheers of the group members, the mentor and Sheila carefully examined the fruit tree and found it to be indeed withered and decaying.

Sila asked Gabriel, "You know about plants, what should we do?"

Gabriel sighed, "This tree shape is indeed an apple tree, but it's not a high-end variety. It's just a mutation that occurred in the volcanic region, and it might not even taste good. There's no way we can buy it elsewhere or restore it immediately."

Xila was taken aback: "Does the village chief really insist on seeing divine power?"

Gabriel laughed and said, "Let's see if the Black Dragon Lord has the ability. She seems very confident, and I'm really looking forward to it."

Michael exclaimed, "It's hard to imagine that a black dragon that has long resided in Hell would heal fruit trees! I even suspect that her database doesn't contain any information about apples at all."

The group laughed and said, "Then it's even more something to look forward to."

At this moment, seeing the instructor carefully examining one tree after another, Wei Shen immediately called on the whole group to stop making noise and quietly accompany him from the outside.

After observing for a while, the mentor said calmly, "We can try watering it with blood."

Everyone was in an uproar!
The group of men were even more startled; this style was very much like Black Dragon's!
The mentor then said to the surrounding players, "Everyone, continue maintaining the orchard as usual. The elder and I will go and see if there are any suitable prey nearby."

Wei Shen immediately showed the map: "Mentor, this is the surrounding map that I exchanged and collected with other warriors. The areas that have been explored all have monster strongholds. There is a misty mountain range blocking the way 100 kilometers to the north, and our level has not been able to explore it."

The mentor glanced at the map and smiled: "It's a very good map, but these monsters are still too weak in my opinion. Their blood has no energy. I'll go check out the northern mountains you mentioned."

Wei Shen was so flattered by the praise that he felt like his bones were floating. He immediately pulled out a hornet's nest and continued, "Mentor, elder, we found this beehive on our way here. It's a local specialty. My idea is to put the beehive in the orchard. It can collect pollen for the orchard and also serve as a defense to prevent wild boars from damaging the orchard or thieves from stealing the fruit."

Shelley was taken aback: "Then what about harvesting the fruit?"

Wei Shen got excited: "We have gang skills, we can hold on! When we have the conditions later, we'll either go back to the city or have special protective suits made in the village."

Sheila laughed and said, "I think it's a good idea."

The tutor nodded: "Then let's go take a look."

After saying that, he pulled Xila away again and teleported away.

Xilahan said, "Master, do we really have to explore all this way by teleporting? Isn't that too taxing?"

The mentor smiled and said, "Once we enter the misty mountains, we'll find a place where no one can see us, and I'll use the Dragon Transformation Technique. Then we can slowly search for them."

"Dragon Transformation! You are already..." Suddenly, Xila remembered the Earth Flame Guild Master. He was the one who used Dragon Transformation, and he also knew Hurricane Lightning and Druid/Shaman spells. Both of these professions could properly heal plants.

Xila immediately asked, "Master, can watering the fruit trees with this blood revive them?"

The instructor scoffed, "Isn't this village chief deliberately making things difficult for me?"

Sila was taken aback: "The mentor can't do it?"

The tutor smiled and said, "Probably not."

Xila was stunned: "Then the mentor looked so confident? I thought the mentor would..."

The mentor scoffed, "You need to grasp the key point of the village chief's words."

Xila asked in surprise, "Isn't the main point that you want to eat the fruit right away?"

The tutor smiled and said, "Next line."

Sila asked in surprise, "Then there's nothing I can help you with?"

The tutor smiled and said, "Yes, that's the key point."

Sila was still bewildered: "This..."

The mentor said irritably, "He says he has no need, so let's create a new need for him! Let's go to the northern mountains to find some powerful monsters, lure them to the village, and see if he needs help. We can also gather some information about the surrounding area while we're at it."

Xila suddenly realized: "No wonder he's our mentor!"

The chat group erupted in an uproar: "High-end thinking!"

Even so, the fruit trees are still the business of the Chamber of Commerce, so let's try to find a solution if we can.
Sila sighed, "The Sage Uriel said that his guild leader has powerful shamanic abilities, so he should be able to heal, right?"

The mentor sighed, "That little guy? Hmm, he still has the Abundance Rune. He might have a way, but we can't find him."

Sariel was shocked: "Hey, hey, you guys are out of character!"

Sila snapped out of her daze: "It really is! Her use of the word 'little one' is a clear admission that she is the Black Dragon Lord!"

Gabriel laughed and said, "She just said she came to Tieyan Village to see the children, which means she's not going to act anymore!"

Michael thought for a moment: "It must have been provoked by the Shoe Angel. Suddenly encountering a familiar ally who changed their attitude, they lost the mood to act."

Xila laughed and said, "It's better not to act, what a waste of effort! Wake up Uriel and see if he can contact the chairman! Let the chairman come and help treat the tree."

Gabriel was stunned: "Just for this abandoned orchard, you contacted the chairman to travel across the earth to cure the trees?"

Xila laughed, "Traversing the Earth, watered with blood, that's what makes a story! A story can instantly boost a product's brand awareness, and then it won't just be an ordinary mutated fruit, but a branded fruit!"

Sariel Raphael laughed, “Exactly! We’ve all been up all night and haven’t slept all morning. A few hours of rest should be enough for him—butler!”

Butler: "Understood!"

A moment later, Uriel entered the chat group, cursing: "Fuck!"

Xila laughed, "You're sealed away, aren't you worried? How did you even fall asleep? Watch the screen recording to review first..."

Uriel's dejected spirits suddenly lifted: "So, you've all planned out the shadow banking for me!"

Sariel chuckled, "Don't be so surprised yet. Follow along with the rest of the plot and get your thoughts in order..."

Uriel couldn't wait to log in, still in a sealed space within a golden eggshell.

Just then, the guardian's voice came from outside the space: "You've woken up."

Uriel immediately said, "I won't struggle. Actually, I've come to tell you about the Shadow Bank, sir." The Guardian asked in surprise, "Oh? Didn't you already know?"

Uriel said, "I remembered it after I took a nap. Legend has it that there is an island of evil spirits in the Sea of ​​Creation, and the Imperial Bank has already been established on the island."

The guardian remained silent.

Uriel said urgently, "Although it's in the Sea of ​​Creation, that island is very mysterious and can move! It can appear near Black Iron City."

The guardian finally replied: "You mean, you want to go to the island to get an Imperial Bank card?"

Uriel said, "We can't do it directly yet. I heard there's a tavern in Gem City that has relevant information. I beg you to let me out to make that contact."

While you're at it, try calling out on the guild channel in Gem City to see if you can contact the guild leader, though the chances are slim.

The guardian suddenly became very decisive: "Okay. But you'd better understand your current situation and not do anything foolish."

Uriel replied hastily, "I understand. We people of Hell admire strength. It is my honor to serve under a strong person like you, sir. I will definitely earn your trust through hard work and dedication."

The guardian chuckled, "Alright."

The next moment, a flash of golden light appeared in the sealed space, and Uriel appeared directly in a place that looked like the outskirts of Black Iron City.

This is troublesome.

Uriel looked at his hand, which she had previously manipulated, and sure enough, there was a mark around his wrist.

Xila laughed: "Don't worry, it's not a permanent slave contract. Once the magic disappears, the contract will be dissolved."

Uriel sighed, "When will the magic disappear?"

Xila laughed and said, "It would be best if you leveled up a few more times. The stronger you are, the longer you can stay, and the more likely you are to disappear."

Uriel scoffed, "It seems that this guardian deity of the merchant guild isn't particularly strong. He might not be a match for the Black Dragon Lord."

Sila sighed, "That's for sure..."

……

Da Chun was awakened by Ai Lian's emergency contact notification.

When he got up, he found himself still in the server room being controlled by Tifa Silk, while Tifa Chifenda was still being debugged in the server room.

Da Chun went directly to his inventory and selected the Magic Mirror to contact him.

"Honey, what is it?"

Ellen said, "Just now, Dark Remia informed Vivian that she had sealed away and captured a fallen angel. He actually knew about Spirit Island and that it had become the site of the Imperial Bank. Also, there's a tavern in Gem City with related contact information..."

Da Chun is still completely dazed after waking up!
This must be another instance of the Ten Elders causing trouble offline. The Ten Elders are sages with built-in NPC attributes, easily misleading NPCs into believing there's a traitor on Evil Spirit Island… But who is this seal capturing? Uriel? Holy crap, this actually works!
However, the fact that Gem City has contact information means that the Ten Elders have been pushing forward with the shadow banking project. That's a good thing.

Da Chun could only reply, "Understood, everything is under control."

"That's good. Also, please keep an eye on the new nun instructor who joined the Chamber of Commerce."

what?
"understood."

After ending the conversation, Da Chun finally saw the notification on the Merchant Guild channel: Congratulations! Artistuta has joined the Broken Bottle Guild...

Huh? This name sounds familiar?

Holy crap!! Isn't that the Black Dragon Lord from Hell Fortress?!

So she was my mentor, Sheila! I always thought she was Beelzebubnashi! She actually joined my ground-based business guild!
This sudden change is something Da Chun can't adapt to at all. Is this a way to make up for the losses caused by the promotion of the Wine Angel?
However, the only person who could add her to the Chamber of Commerce was Wei Shen, and Wei Shen was in Tie Yan Village, so they must have gone to Tie Yan Village! So, it was a mother visiting her son?

Da Chun should call Zhou Qing and ask.

Zhou Qing immediately replied: "Ah, Brother Chun finally called! I knew Brother Chun was resting. You can see the Chamber of Commerce channel now, right?"

You're so thoughtful!

"Oh right, this name is so cool it startled me, what's going on?"

"It's the mentor the elder summoned. He's currently in the Tieyan Village orchard, tasked by the village chief with quickly treating the fruit trees... Anyway, Wei Shen and the others are proceeding as planned, waiting for the aftermath. What instructions does Brother Chun have?"

"Well, let's do it according to God Wei's plan."

"understood……"

Da Chun was genuinely confused. Why was the Black Dragon Lord going to such lengths to see his son? More importantly, was this blood-watering method reliable? Unless it was some kind of demonic blood found in the desert ruins? And what kind of orchard was being treated with such a massive scale—was it some kind of high-end apple orchard?
Just as I was sorting out my thoughts, I suddenly received a message from the Chamber of Commerce on my alternate account.

Da Chun switched over and took a look:
Chamber of Commerce Channel [Vice President Uli]: President! Is the President there?
Holy crap! He came to Gem City to find me?

The five women were quite annoyed; "Why is the vice president here? And he's shouting in the chamber of commerce channel, what if the Wine Angel hears him!"

However, if something happens to the Ten Elders, it must be something serious. The fact that he's been forced to speak out publicly suggests an urgent matter.

I should reply. If I don't, it'll make me look like a coward, afraid of the Wine Angel. Besides, with the Wine Angel's rough personality, she'll probably look down on me.

Chamber of Commerce Channel [President Wonima]: I'm here!

[Vice President Uriel]: That's great! Are you busy, President? There's an abandoned fruit orchard in Ironflame Village outside Black Iron City. You know shamanism, right? You can heal, right?
Holy crap! Da Chun, this is unbelievable! You're one of the Ten Elders, and you're publicly addressing this trivial matter?
Then there's only one possibility: this orchard is incredibly high-end!
Am I some kind of Shaman? I'm the Void Archdruid Elder! Who else but me? Go away! Anyway, I'm in hiding right now. My main is fine, and I can't keep doing DPS on my alt.

[President Wonima]: I can give it a try.

[Vice President Uriel]: That's great!

At this moment, the Ten Elders chat group erupted in cheers and clamor!
Sila was incredulous: "I can't believe it was so easy to find him, so easy to agree. Where is the chairman hiding?!"

Gabriel sighed, "After all, for earth-and-fire creatures, intelligence is a major weakness."

Sariel sighed, "That's called simplicity. Without the messy ideas of those demons, the simpler one's thoughts, the stronger one's power."

Uriel laughed loudly: "This also shows that the Azazel family has a stronghold in Gem City. Raphael must be in a tough spot now..."

But at this moment:

Chamber of Commerce Channel [Wine Angel]: President, Vice President, I heard you!
Uriel was instantly dumbfounded: "What's going on?"

Sila was shocked: "We didn't take into account the possibility of the Wine Angel switching sides!"

Uriel was utterly exasperated: "I never imagined the guild master was actually in Gem City! I kicked him!"

Sila sighed, "He's a shareholder, you can't kick him!"

At that moment, Da Chun was also stunned! Did he mean he was going to go to Tieyan Village to hunt me down?

[President Wonima]: Just doing business as it is?

[Wine Angel]: Let's keep it strictly business!
