Chun witnessed the Magic Energy Hovering Minecart at the end of the safe mining area. Rather than a car, it more resembled a hovercraft.

That is to say, even magic items follow certain mechanical design principles, so my shared grand advanced Mechanician skills might come in handy.

Looking outside the city, the vast land under an ominous red sky with crisscrossed rocks seemed like an Otherworld completely unrecognizable as the underground world.

Chun lay down in the vehicle: "Ladies, I'm going to rest now. Please take good care of me on the way."

The beauties giggled: "We will surely~~ guard~~ the boss well~~"

As soon as they finished, the Medusa-like woman slithered up and hugged Chun: "Boss, I'll give you the safest escort!"

Holy shit, what's all this about?

Then the Enchanting Demon also jumped in: "I'm a defender too. If you think one isn't enough, how about double protection, boss?"

Oh come on with this insurance talk!

Honestly, if I were the only player in the entire city, it wouldn't matter to mess around a bit. But I'm more afraid of running into Consortium players than monsters outside the city. Who's in the mood for this?

Chun was a bit annoyed: "No, not in front of so many eyes!"

The Enchanting Demon chuckled: "What eyes? You have no idea how good I am as an Illusionist, boss..."

With that, she waved her hand, and a pink mist spread out, blurring the surroundings instantly.

Chun was truly startled: "What is this?"

The Enchanting Demon laughed: "This way, outsiders can't easily see our convoy, so enjoy our services, boss. Otherwise, our mood will sour, and our friendliness might drop, you know?"

Holy shit! This is amazing. My Illusion Skill Value isn't low either, can I reach this level?

Medusa giggled: "I'll let you experience services not possible in human form..."

— System Notice: FBI Warning...

— System Notice: Dear user, please confirm if your device is a commercial household model and if you are in a public place. You will bear the consequences for violating local laws and agreements... Current default is blurred mode, but you can purchase a premium model for better services...

Holy shit!!?

Staring at the suddenly blurred screen, Chun was dumbfounded on the spot!

Actually daring to experience this? Can't help but think of the worldwide craze...

Alright, for a moment Chun remembered his university days, thinking of Jiang back then. He didn't know from which Indian films he learned some cheeky tricks, sending a bunch of little movies to classmates' phones before exams and wholesaled authentic scents from various livestream hosts online, especially sending them to himself...

Honestly, wasn't moved at all back then, let alone now. Really, what leader could withstand such tests?

Thinking of the past, Chun couldn't help but laugh out loud.

...

So be it. Can't let the friendliness be affected, so let the mini account blur it. Checking the time, it's 10 PM.

Switching to the main account to take a look, currently eating dried food and resting. Over an hour has passed, and not a single level of skill muscle memory has returned.

Alright, never had muscle memory for working with a burden of 100 weight while being ill anyway, so might as well occupy oneself, believing that persistence is victory.

Then continue with the all-night battle plan. Middle-aged people can't afford to get injured.

...

Shenqian Base.

The wailing from underground had already ceased, clearly, one of Count Ramir Khan's top experts had fallen.

Then the latest order from the prison came, and the felon was once again dispatched to the Water Prison. Of course, now that the water had dried up, heading underground deep was no longer a Water Prison.

In short, the underground had been breached again, weakening the Count's Mansion. The plan to siege the Count's Mansion with the Tata Battle Team after nightfall in the game was being prepped meticulously. As long as the Count's Mansion kept weakening, the Count would surely lower his proud head in compromise...

But there's more good news: the Peeping Immortal dispatching reports from the Baron's Mansion sends vital intel: "Young Master, an important breakthrough, the baron has opened a new Level 1 Shangri-La Commerce Association, exclusively dealing in spices!"

The Young Master was shocked: "He's not smuggling anymore, just blatantly transporting?"

Peeping said: "Maybe because Chun got exiled, breaking the smuggling line, so now it's done openly. Young Master, this is an opportunity. We must immediately join his association and act as its core. When the spices are transported, we can overturn the situation!"

The Young Master trembled: "Good! A Level 1 association can only have 10 members, right? Each team immediately pick the top 10 elite members to return to the city and assemble. Peeping Tom, apply with everything for the Vice-President position, complete the association tasks to gain his trust, and promote the first batch of members to officials with everything you've got!"

"Understood!"

...

Peeping, thrilled, went straight to find the beaming baron embracing a maid for a dance and kneeled with a slide: "Congratulations, Lord Baron on the opening of the new commerce association. I wish to become your right-hand man as the Vice-President..."

The baron, in high spirits: "A mere errand man with such ambitions... I'd like to hear your development insights?"

Peeping spoke eloquently: "My lord, although our association deals exclusively in spices, they are too expensive for commoners, costing us a large potential market."

The baron snorted coldly: "Mere commoners, how much of a market could they be?"

Indeed, a foolish baron! His stupidity is exactly what's needed!

Peeping quoted Business God Matsushita to enlighten: "My lord, do you know why the blue whale is the largest whale? Because it eats only krill and avoids deadly hunting battles, making it the most stable and safe, thus becoming the largest!"

The baron was amazed: "Then what do we sell in the commoners' market?"

"Culinary cooking! I can get the sashimi recipes, dishes that are both flavorful and affordable without the hassle of fire and stoves, something even the impoverished who can't afford to cook with charcoal could buy..."

The baron was even more amazed: "But it needs a lot of fish, what if we can't sell it, won't I lose money?"

Peeping confidently stated: "Don't worry, my lord, I can get free fish, absolutely ensuring no loss for you."

The baron was incredulous: "How could it be free?"

Peeping laughed: "Just give me the task, my lord, if I succeed, please promote me to Vice-President!"

The baron was moved: "I hope to see results within a day!"

Peeping was excited: "Understood! Results will be visible before nightfall, and the whole city can enjoy the baron's feast!"

After all, the Peeping Immortal is quite busy; he'll be attacking the Count's Mansion after nightfall...

The Young Master was also overjoyed: "Sea Merchants Association President Sakamaru Noto!"

"Sakamaru stands ready!"

"Immediately have all personnel share the sashimi recipes and sell all salmon, mackerel, and herring at zero cost to Shangri-La Commerce Association... and expedite fishing operations!"

"Sakamaru understands!"

Now the Young Master, in good spirits due to happiness: "Serve!"

A group of beautiful maids immediately surrounded him with giggles: "Young Master, you've been neglecting us these past few days~~"
