The Game of Global Mining

Chapter 750 - 587: Advanced Cipher Book

If I want to keep my main account from being watched, ultimately, I have to lower my ranking. I must let the Ten Lords see the fruits of my efforts.

Chun still decided to ask the Tree God, since he’s been advising Six to hide his strength.

"Cui, is there any way I can lower my global ranking and hide my strength to avoid persecution?"

Cui sighed, "At the divine level, energy fluctuations are big and small, which is relatively easy to hide. But at the foundational level mortals are at, it’s very difficult to hide."

Chun was surprised, "Then is there any way to transfer my equipment elsewhere?"

Cui sighed, "That’s difficult for me, I’m just a tree. Even transferring my seeds can’t be done with my own power. But I do know you humans have professions like thief mages who have amazing abilities to transfer items.

Uh... although I’m also a mage, huh?

Chun simplified his thoughts, "Actually, I just need to trick the surveillance here. Is it possible to set up a barrier so when I drop my equipment on the ground, they won’t detect it?"

Cui solemnly replied, "My barrier can only let your spirit leave the body without being detected. Any other actions with even a slight energy fluctuation will be hard to escape monitoring."

True... directly throwing stuff underground would make a noise, no illusion technique can hide that. Not to mention players at the Ten Lords level behind the scenes.

Chun suddenly thought of Bafengte; he could disarm a bomb from a wheelchair while leaning on his chair with spatial techniques. Only those skills would suffice!

Or go contact the Pirate King on the Pirate Ship, see if he can teach me online?

But just thinking about it is exhausting. Even if he could teach, it would only be basic, nowhere close to fooling the monitors. It would be better to let Nabchuanxi help. She skillfully slipped me a codebook.

Oh right, the codebook!

And also the Beelzebub family task she posted.

But I’m paralyzed, can’t move my hands, being monitored from all directions, can I even look at a book?

Chun glanced at his inventory, and it’s not a "book" at all, just a gemstone.

Looks quite high-end! After all, the Earth Mother’s teaching material is also a large gemstone.

Chun selected it, and the gemstone prompted: Choose text to input, and the codebook will automatically translate it into code.

Holy shit!? It seems I don’t need to take it out by hand.

Chun tried inputting: "Please safeguard my equipment and ensure the monitors aren’t alerted."

The gemstone started glowing and then outputted the text: "The situation is very complex, I need to rethink and respond with more caution."

Holy shit!!!

Chun was absolutely astonished, this is too advanced! Aziza’s codebook is a novel and requires personally learning it — such a hassle. This is way more advanced than hers.

Alright then, let Nabchuanxi handle it. Whether she’ll embezzle it... well, honestly, there’s always been no chance to use that Magic Gold Ring included in this equipment. If it weren’t for the Magic Gold Ring’s secret about Plague Island, I’d also want to transfer it.

So, Chun continued communicating with Cui: "Cui, if I use another demonic communication method to contact demons, would it affect you?"

Cui was surprised, "Contact demons? It doesn’t affect me, but you must avoid being monitored by the Guardian God. I can provide you with a frequency the Guardian God overlooks, hold on."

Chun was energized, "Take it slow, no rush! I’m not in a hurry."

Cui with no qualms said, "Then I’ll take my time."

Uh... Chun had to urgently remind, "Just get it done before breakfast."

Cui laughed, "Now that the Guardian God is also weak, it won’t take that long."

Good.

In the meantime, Chun checked his phone for global news. As expected, his trending value reached an unprecedented high. As for why, it doesn’t matter.

Looking at Black Iron City, players were indeed live-streaming Amy Sheila and Mary touring the night market.

Chun was quite anxious because Amy and Barbara were impersonating Andariel’s Enchanting Demon’s title; the longer they delay, the quicker they need to grow stronger.

Then looking at Vivian’s Night Rose Tavern livestream, even past midnight, the tavern still had a long line for bread, and Vivian hadn’t gotten off work yet.

Seeing her work so hard, Chun felt immense pity for her. Although official interactions with her had decreased, during public testing, they had deep bonds from sending flowers daily...

Looking at player comments, as expected, Gem City harassing Nabchuanxi made Baguette famous, greatly increasing its practical value.

Chun felt a bit anxious; would there be millions at midnight again tonight? Even transferring a divine artifact might not suppress it. If transferring was pointless and risked Nabchuanxi embezzling the artifact, what was all this for?

Moreover, there wasn’t a hint of the Great God entering Iron Flame Village. Nice, both the Great God and Baka were tacitly keeping it secret.

Looking at Silver City’s livestream, the whole city lit with fireworks celebrating Mermaids. Nice.

Looking at Oak City, some players rallied NPCs with banners for Mermaid celebrations too, but nowhere near as grand as Silver City.

Bronze City also had Mermaid events, similar in size to Oak City. Except for Black Iron City which didn’t. No need to say, the Ten Lords were orchestrating it, fully cultivating Mermaid faith and prestige. Good, with Mermaids thriving, I’m the direct beneficiary.

In summary, Chun took a lap, everything was prosperous, feeling drowsy.

Just then, Cui’s voice came through, "Warrior, found the frequency loophole!"

The next moment, a black fluctuation appeared on the green-glowed Divine Mirror.

Chun was invigorated, "So I can perform demonic communication now?"

Cui replied, "You can, if there’s any anomaly, I’ll interrupt it for you voluntarily."

——System prompt: You have activated the Beelzebub space communication ability.

The black fluctuation on the Divine Mirror immediately became unstable.

Though Chun couldn’t understand, he was very anxious.

Before long, a long-awaited central station voice came, "Lord Balbo Beelzebub, you did well, successfully contacting me. Normally, this is hard to do in sealed space."

Chun didn’t waste words, sending the code: "Master, the situation is very complex, I need to rethink and respond with more caution."

The central station responded approvingly, "You are very professional, continue being cautious and work hard. Await subsequent instructions."

——System prompt: Congratulations! You have preliminarily completed the Beelzebub family task "Detecting Divine Tree Cuiguda’s Situation", and your reputation within the Beelzebub family has increased.

——System prompt: Space communication interrupted.

Huh? Just like that it’s done? Preliminary?

Well, then wait for Nabchuanxi to meet up for breakfast.

As for what’s next, sleep—sleep well this afternoon, and continue overnight again tonight.
