The Game of Global Mining

Chapter 746 - 583: Contacting the Divine Tree

Chun didn’t have to wait long, and Aileen soon made progress: "Finally got in touch with Six, it’s unbelievably slow!"

"Let me see!"

Chun went to the Divine Mirror in Aileen’s residence and saw a severely blurred, frozen image with dropped frames on the mirror.

Chun was surprised: "Is this the minimum level of contact?"

Aileen laughed: "Yes, this should be the most basic contact without alerting the Tree God’s seal. I’ve never played so patiently before. Just spend some time and the image will gradually fill in."

This was like transmitting a video from Mars to Earth!

Chun said: "The image doesn’t matter, the key is the dialogue sound."

"I know, but we also need to wait slowly."

So let’s wait, as long as we are on the right track, things will be fine.

Chun returned to the dance floor, went idle, and took a nap.

Noon, twelve o’clock.

Chun was awakened by the sound of a delivery guy knocking: "Brother Chun, lunch is here."

"Coming!"

The guy awkwardly smiled: "Brother Chun, today’s lunch is braised lion’s head..."

Chun saw his expression and guessed: "Did I make it to the global hot search?"

The guy laughed: "Everyone knows Brother Chun, there’s got to be a deeper meaning! Also, it’s midnight in the game now, and the Great God and their team are already preparing to force their way into Iron Flame Village."

Chun nodded: "Alright, let the Great God team perform without worry. Even if there are losses, don’t stress."

"Understood, Brother Chun, enjoy your meal."

"By the way, no alcohol today. I slept too much and want to be sober."

"Okay, Brother Chun..."

To be honest, Chun felt heavy-hearted, what’s this deeper meaning? Oak City is praised for its medical rescues, but in truth, it’s a trap. Even if they withstand the Ten Lords’ tenfold medicine next time, what about the times after that?

After all, with his global rank of 11, China District believes there’s "a deeper meaning" to everything he does. Others also learned from China District that there’s "a deeper meaning," so no matter how he pretends to be paralyzed, the Ten Lords will never let him go.

Originally, after the server launched, he snatched the big players’ positions, feeling a bit fearful, so he had Maria, the fake angel, pull a clone with reduced power. Yet, it was useless, one because he was snowballing and couldn’t stop, and two because players worldwide weren’t competent, making him a target he couldn’t remove from the wall.

Considered escaping but once escaping the Ten Lords’ control, the real-life consequences for himself, even the internet cafe, and family were unimaginable... So escaping wasn’t feasible either.

After lunch, Chun continued pondering a breakthrough. He had considered other options, but none seemed promising or reliable. Now, the hope rested on the Tree God.

At this moment, a message from Aileen arrived: "Dear, the contact is complete."

Chun became alert: "Transmit me to your room!"

Chun approached the Divine Mirror again. The image remained fuzzy, but the voices came through: "Master, I’ve recruited all the Tree Monster followers, and now my power is formidable."

Chun was thrilled; Tree Monsters had Boss-level strength, roughly equivalent to a mid-level cadre in the Church. The crucial point was that they were presumably straightforward creatures with pure and steadfast beliefs, unlike some senior Church cadres who preach doctrines while thinking about business with fake piety. This made it equivalent to having genuine senior cadres! 300 senior cadres, indeed terrifyingly strong!!

Chun was excited: "We can try contacting the Tree God now!"

Aileen nodded: "Six, please acknowledge receipt, and then I’ll increase the connection intensity. Try identifying the Tree God’s force blocking you and find a way to communicate peacefully."

The Divine Mirror remained inactive, like a frozen computer.

Chun couldn’t adapt: "Did our words get through?"

Aileen reflected: "Yes, this is still the minimal contact level from earlier, so we have to wait, but once successful communication with the Tree God is achieved, things will improve."

So wait it is.

Chun was too lazy to idle at the dance floor, just fixatedly staring at the mirror, feeling more expectant than ever before.

About ten minutes later, the Divine Mirror responded: "Received!"

It really was like Mars communication!

Aileen was a bit nervous: "I’ve increased the connection strength."

The next moment, the image on the mirror, or the "pixels," finally moved visibly to the naked eye. And finally, a trace of real-time transmitted sound could be heard.

Continue waiting.

This time, only five minutes of waiting passed before Six’s voice came through: "Contact established!"

Chun was extremely nervous!

Continue waiting, five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes...

This wait felt so long, like an eternity every second!

Chun went to the bathroom once, feeling that only urinating could vent his anxiety.

Twenty minutes passed, and Chun went again.

Chun felt a sense of panic, was this an emotional issue? Was there actually a hardware problem? Unexpectedly, under extreme anxiety and tension, he discovered his hardware had this flaw?

Chun tried to calm down: "Aileen, will this kind of contact expose us?"

Aileen replied: "Six’s contact is guided by my mirror, the Divine Tree should sense something. But given the Divine Tree’s dire situation, he should... cooperate."

What if cooperation fails? Would he reverse report me to curry favor with the Guardian God for leniency?

Though unlikely, this indeed was the reason for his anxious urgency...

Thirty minutes later, Six responded again: "Green Passage!"

What?

The next moment, a green hue filled the Divine Mirror, bathing the entire room in green light.

Six’s voice, or rather song, suddenly flowed smoothly: "This is the Divine Tree’s Green Passage!"

An ancient and melancholic voice followed: "I am the Old Tree Triguda, this is my private channel, the Guardian God won’t listen in."

This attitude, the negotiation worked? The key is, there’s a private channel, truly the work of a god!

Chun was elated, immediately trying to soothe its emotions: "I’m Chun! Tree God, you need not be sad or worried. I’ve arranged for your seeds on Plague Island. The energy there is unimaginably abundant, it’s bound to let the seeds flourish."

The Tree God’s tone relaxed significantly: "I know who you are, Chun, the globally ranked 11th Adventurer, and my task is to seal you. But rest assured, I no longer wish to be enslaved, my seeds were successfully sent out, I have no regrets or worries. Let’s cooperate well, discuss your cooperation requirements, if I can do it, I certainly will."

—— System prompt: Congratulations! The Tree God Triguda’s favorability towards you has increased to "Grateful Cooperation"!

Hahaha~~~

As expected of the Tree God, straightforward indeed, once the negotiation was successful, they’re open and honest. This is quite similar to the Earth Flame Leader.
