The Game of Global Mining Chapter 547 - 404: Mina the Nightmare’s Ongoing Trial

Chun asked the key question, "Did you see anything during your training with Tifa?"

Mina said, "It seed like I was in a room full of machines and blueprints, then I saw a starry sky. We flew through the stars, and then Miss Tifa woke up and sent out."

Holy shit, a starry sky! Isn’t that the Void?

Chun hurriedly asked, "Was it a void airship?"

Mina paused for a mont, "I’m not sure. Mainly because the magic power in Tifa’s dream realm is too dense, moving in there is like swimming, and my vision and hearing are blurred. Miss Tifa said, the longer I stay, the more I can absorb her magic power to improve myself. When I’m strong enough, I should be able to see it clearly."

So that’s how it is! It’s basically confird, that spider robot is Tifa!

Mina continued, "By the way, Miss Tifa has a top-secret plan she wanted to tell you about. She has sent soone to impersonate the Pirate King to attack that bald biker gang, not only to help us, but she dislikes that gang as well—however, soone needs to take the bla."

Holy shit, she’s really doing sothing intense!

Chun hurriedly asked, "Is it arranged for to take the bla? It’s okay, the whole world already knows I collude with pirates!"

Mina sighed, "Master is really..."

Chun laughed, "The bigger the fa, the better for ."

While speaking, Chun noticed a faint fluctuation on the wall ahead.

Mina said, "It’s the black cat. It brought here and is waiting for . Originally, Miss Tifa planned for it to sneak into the factory’s ventilation ducts to bring you food."

Chun was shocked, "It’s clearly invisible!"

Mina said, "Yeah, I only just found out it can turn invisible during the day. We t it at night yesterday, so there was no need for it to be invisible."

Sure enough, it really is the pet of a mysterious mage! Co to think of it, isn’t this just like a treasure-hunting magical pet?

Then possessed the black cat.

Chun greeted, "Tom, good morning!"

"ow!"

"Go to the slums, see if there are any sick and sleeping people."

"ow!"

The black cat moved like a gentle breeze, leaping and weaving among the walls and greenery, further concealing itself in the rumbling smog of motorbikes

Finally, it arrived at the slums. It was the sa abandoned factory cluster we visited yesterday.

The black cat entered an abandoned factory, where dozens of tents were set up among piles of recycled waste. On so abandoned workbenches, rudintary hearths and washing pits had been built, a large group of people hamring away.

The black cat silently slipped into the cluster of tents and quickly heard moans of pain coming from within one tent.

Entering, it found an old man unconscious on a mat.

Mina said confidently, "This is the easiest part."

Chun felt a bit uneasy, "He’s obviously sick, right? Can we give him a loaf of bread in his dream?"

Mina said, "In life, I was a physician in Oak City, even without dicine, I can have a look. Actually, many illnesses are caused by ntal stress affecting the endocrine system. Just a little encouragent can make a big difference."

Chun wholeheartedly agreed, "You’re right."

Mina continued, "My enhanced mist, even if entering soone’s dream realm, would be hard to detect, no more dodging around like before."

Then she waved her hand in front of the old man’s head, and a fluctuating spatial gate appeared. Chun and she entered.

Then Chun felt the machine jam for a mont, the scene taking its ti to load.

Chun’s heart skipped a beat; it was that familiar lag again, the system loading the narrative! No wonder, this old man could rely be a background NPC, so normal players might not trigger a narrative from him, but now that I’m here, the system has to give him a storyline!

Finally, the scene finished loading—system prompt: Warning! Your soul has entered the dream realm of the Rusted Clamp Gang elder "No. 3 Screw", proceed with caution.

Holy shit, he’s an elder in a gang?!

Chun appeared in a dim factory workshop. Even though Mina ntioned the mist could enforce invisibility, he instinctively activated invisibility at first chance, double invisibility after all. Coupled with the darkness of the scene—hmm?

Chun suddenly realized this factory was the current plant, but in its fully equipped state, forcibly restoring a factory!

There were no workers, were they off work? Chun checked the large clock on the wall, 7 PM. Seems like they were indeed off work.

Mina began examining so parts on the machine tool, whispering, "These are dical syringes made for Oak City, and these are hearing aids. Looks like this was a dical equipnt factory."

This could trigger an event in Oak City’s narrative!?

Chun cautiously surveyed the surroundings, finding no one, where was the Dream Master?

Chun quietly circled the factory, confirming there was no one.

Then he attempted to open the factory door, only to find it was a space wall, the door just a background sticker, unpassable.

Mina was taken aback, "Looks like his dream realm is indeed limited to this one factory. This is the first ti seeing a dream with no Dream Master, why is that?"

Chun was baffled, as Mina was just a newly self-taught novice Nightmare with no veteran Nightmare coach, I guess I must solve this mystery myself.

Chun first thought of the Pirate King leaving a pirate ship in his own dream realm, where every detail was exactly like the real thing, without a hint of dreamlike fuzziness. Shows how fondly the Pirate King rembers his ship. Here, every piece of equipnt, even down to the placent of parts, is detailed, suggesting deep fondness and possibly a high position, maybe even the factory manager?

Chun asked, "Mina, do you know when these old factory districts in Bronze City were abandoned?"

Mina exclaid, "No, maybe decades ago? I wasn’t dead yet then, um, not born yet either..."

Chun imdiately started looking for duty logs or the like. Honestly, no on-duty staff even after work hours, that’s not right...

Then at the desk by the entrance, he found it, dated Year 40 of the New World Calendar, holy shit, 60 years ago!

Then he saw a goods in-and-out register, the first few dozen pages were blurry! Shows this dream realm can’t compare to the Pirate King’s, whose docuntation and nautical logs were all crystal clear.

So the key is...

Chun flipped to the last two pages, it’s clear! Thousands of boxes of various parts and raw materials... um, what’s written for these raw materials? It’s in Latin like a doctor’s prescription, right?

Mina was astonished, "It’s written as five boxes of nitroglycerin! Extrely explosive stuff!"

This stuff is infamous!

Chun was startled, "Could this factory have been abandoned due to a nitroglycerin explosion and fire?"

Mina finally ca to her senses, "If true, this dream realm could explode at any mont!"

Chun forcibly remained calm, "Don’t panic, let’s search around? Maybe if we find it, it won’t explode, and we’ll solve this dream realm."
