——System Alert: Congratulations! You have sold 17 mining carts of high-grade Purple Earth Flame Crystal Ore. After deducting related fees... you made a profit of 1,736,315 Mining Coins! The massive sale of Purple Earth Flame Crystal Ore caused a significant price fluctuation in this ore series.

1.73 million!

But as expected, this dump directly crashed the ore price down to Silver price! Even the previous ordinary Earth Flame Crystal Ore got dragged down. Although the value is still not low, it's indeed not suitable to transport any more.

——System Alert: The profit-sharing agreement you signed with Kasha, Aimee, Medesia, Olka, Julia has met the fulfillment conditions. Do you wish to proceed with the execution?

At this moment, the women seemed to have forgotten about the house, eagerly urging: "Boss, share the profits, share the profits!"

Alright, when compared to the unsellable discussions about houses, getting your share first is more important, it's human nature.

Let's share it!

——System Alert: Agreement executed, you received an income of 289,385 Mining Coins. Your favorability with Kasha, Aimee, Medesia, Olka, and Julia has greatly increased.

The women were jubilant: "We're rich!"

Increased favorability, nice! As long as in the future...

But the next moment, the women collectively turned their gaze back to Chun.

Holy shit, again! Can't stand seeing me with 290k, huh?

Chun decided to act first: "Ladies, this mission was originally taking up our vacation time, now everyone is exhausted, my Mana and Physical Strength are depleted too. Why don't we take a break at that Dream Eden hotel?"

The women paused for a moment, then burst into laughter: "As expected of the boss, let's go!"

Chun sighed in relief, earlier there was only 20k, difficult to resist the pig-killing dump. Now with 290k, should I still be afraid of them dumping? As long as there's no mention of the house, we're still good friends!

Surrounded by the women, Chun walked onto the street.

But Chun was quite afraid of encountering players. Even if he looked like an NPC, he didn't want to be spotted by players.

Luckily, players from the Consortium were an elite few, and Uriel was clearly organizing a large event, indeed not running into any in such a big city.

Upon entering the lavish Dream Eden, various beauties from different races warmly greeted him: "Hello, boss!"

A strikingly radiant Enchanting Demon Squad Leader stepped forward: "Welcome to Dream Eden, boss. Since it's your first time, there's a 30% discount! We've tailored various package services for you at Dream Eden to help recover your state, boost various attributes, and let you indulge in the irresistible Dream Eden experience..."

Ah, a 30% discount as well?

But Chun remained nervous, considering the Consortium players' nature, might they favor this place? Could there be some big shot skipping the event here?

Chun asked Aimee beside him: "I prefer quiet and solitude, do they have such services here?"

The squad leader immediately responded: "Of course, Dream Eden can meet all of your needs!"

Alright then!

The scene shifted to a space resembling a forest spring scenery, with beauties from various races surrounding with smiles——System Alert: FBI Warning...

Holy shit, so it's this kind of custom scene mode. The Consortium developing this game surely knows how to play, huh?

Oh... it feels like experiencing an emperor's lifestyle with five girlfriends, coated in silver upon silver. But after all, it's a virtual world, which veteran can refuse this...

Once the small account settles down, Chun's focus shifted back to the main account. It's already 5 PM, and in the game, the dawn is approaching.

Just as he was preparing to switch accounts, Earth Lotus whispered in his ear: "Father, what are you doing?"

I... Holy shit!

What's going on? You're supposedly just an Earth Spirit Flower, right?

Chun was speechless: "Recovering and resting, adult matters... this is called empowerment."

Earth Lotus said: "I feel like they can provide me with quite a bit of energy."

Oh?!! Could it be...

Chun quickly asked: "How much can you absorb?"

"I don't know, the more the better!"

Alright, alright!

Chun felt awkward: "Then focus on absorbing energy..."

"Got it."

...

Ignoring the hazy scene, Chun switched to his main account.

On the main account, just in time for dawn, Chun watched the transition from day to night in Evil Spirit City. He watched, eyes wide open, as a group of evil spirits and the newly constructed city walls and the piled-up mines on the docks vanished before his eyes in a spatial distortion.

Again, looking at the two demolished buildings from yesterday, they stood there untouched! Plague Island seemed as if no one had ever come, unchanged.

This time-space misalignment "rollback" feeling was extremely jarring. Although previously speculated that it's the overlap of two spaces, it also implied that even if the evil spirits build the island into a fortress at night, it remains unchanged during the day? What happens if the enemy lands and occupies the island during the day?

Can't figure it out for now, let's just let them develop.

Yesterday during daylight, they didn't actually sleep, just built a circle of walls in the Evil Spirit world. Today, it's estimated that they're really improving the smelter and intensively mining Silver.

Again contacted Siren with the Black Flag Order, still refused with no response. Holy shit, it feels like she's more popular with the masses, maybe aiming to take my Evil Spirit Island Lord position, huh? Need to knock some sense in.

Silver City lost two boatloads overnight, so they will surely emphasize a response. I need to contact Mermaid to make a mock response.

Chun arrived by the sea, initiating contact with the Sea God's Personal Guard.

——System Alert: Sea God's Personal Guard skill contacting Mermaid, expected reply in 3 and a half hours.

This long-distance connection really... At least there's a specific time now, way better than last time.

Perfect time to go out for dinner, return after three hours.

Before going out, the main account should carry two Iron Shovels to the mine's pond for automatic offline grinding. Although nothing significant can be gathered, at least it can charge the ring with resentment.

After preparing everything, log off, and go downstairs.

Seeing the gods on the first floor discussing something fervently while having instant noodles.

"Brother Chun is here!"

"Brother Chun, something big is happening in Black Iron City, NPCs predict a monster siege event within three days!"

"A large number of goblins have appeared outside the city, perfect timing to complete the Warrior profession quest without having to compete for monsters..."

"The Royal Family's Black Iron Division is recruiting PUGs from the National Server for the defense siege battle, we're planning to join a PUG wave."

"The Mining Coins we dug up in the past few days haven't been exchanged yet. Planning to buy a piece of chain armor, train a level, by then even if we have to become pirates we won't be a burden to Brother Chun!"

There really is a monster siege?

Chun suddenly remembered Aileen mentioning earlier that those Consortium players entering Hell would release demons to siege the city, is it this? But that's just the mining area, only weak Little Demons, where are the monsters?

Could it be...

Chun suddenly recalled Dibilon saying that if the Demon Race had abundant resources, it would trigger a war, so is it that a large number of Consortium players entered the Hell mining area and aggressively mined resources, leading to the Demon Race able to spawn troops? This indeed follows a different impact route from a single player's actions.

No idea how Erga is doing, did he extort them?

After chatting for a while, Chun went outside, encountering that team of security guards again head-on.

This...

This time, Chun vaguely saw the leading security guard had epaulettes, what level is that?

Not sure why, Chun suddenly got a strange thought, if I go to the fly-infested alley restaurant this time, will I still run into them?
