Jiang Qiao and Hai Lan did not wait for the ship to arrive at the temporary port on Brand Island.
He flew directly from the air onto the ship.
Although it is three o'clock in the morning, there are still hundreds of players on Brand Island busy building their own bases. Even if one player finds the ship, he will take a screenshot of the ship and post it on the forum.
There will definitely be a conclusion of "I know! What kind of hidden mission is this?", and then a lot of people will collectively run to the port to greet everyone on the ship.
Jiang Qiao may cooperate in releasing some hidden tasks at that time, but... now the ship is already near Brand Island, and it is estimated that some players have already discovered this ship sailing under the night sky.
"who?"
The sailors on the ship noticed Jiang Qiao and Hai Lan falling from the sky. Jiang Qiao let go of the Wind Spirit in his hand. Elemental Summoners do not have flying skills. Although the Wind Spirit can fly... Jiang Qiao banned the Wind Spirit's ability to carry people for professional balance considerations.
But now it is in the real world outside the game.
"We are friends of Leila Firisi, go and call her over," Jiang Qiao said.
"I am here."
Leila walked out of the captain's room. She was no longer wearing a military uniform, but ordinary civilian clothes.
What concerned Jiang Qiao was that all of Leila's jewelry, rings, earrings and other items were gone.
Could it be that he sold all these things to buy vegetables
"Please come in and talk inside." Leila said, pointing to the captain's room.
Jiang Qiao and Hai Lan walked into the captain's room together. This ship was not the warship that brought Leila in before, but a merchant ship.
Leila somehow bypassed the surveillance of the Sun Empire and ran to the vicinity of Brand Island. The sailors on the ship were so nervous that they felt like there were sea monsters and pirates all around them.
After all, the waters under this island are indeed full of sea monsters.
The crystal disease has already spread in the water. Jiang Qiao, who realized this... knew that if he wanted to eliminate the crystal disease, purifying Brand Island might just be the beginning.
Worse…
"I guess there are many people in your country who want to steal the power of Brand Island?" Jiang Qiao took a look at the furnishings in the captain's room. On the table was a map of the Sun Empire and Brand Island, and Leila was drawing something with a pen.
“… Yes, they created the Spellthieves,” said Leila.
"You investigated so quickly? I thought you would see the truth first and then collapse, and then survive to help us get the supplies."
Jiang Qiao has actually already imagined a lot of plots about Leila's return to the Sun Empire. Logically speaking, the script about Leila should be enough to write a 64-episode TV series, involving the collapse of faith, betrayal, friendship, love, and other things mixed together, with a rating of 2.4.
Well...very melodramatic.
"I was indeed being hunted, but... your knight helped me solve it." Leila took out the red crystal that Jiang Qiao gave her. There was a hint of fear in Leila's voice when she mentioned the Wasp Knight.
"Oh, and there's the grandfather element in the ring. I am your golden finger, right?" Jiang Qiao said a few more words that Leila didn't understand.
"I've been trying to contact those forces that oppose the crystallization experiment, and there has been some progress." Leila said quickly.
"Stop. I am not interested in the life and death of your country, including the power struggle, nor the second-year thinking that 'only the power of crystals can save this country'. You are a businessman who brought me supplies. I only care about what vegetables you bought today."
Jiang Qiao doesn't really want to get too involved in the struggles of this world, because... it's useless.
This is just like no one cares about the war between the iron ore and copper mines in the mineral vein. As a miner, you just need to dig up all the mines here.
The only thing that Jiang Qiao cares about in this world is whether there is a possible descendant of Queen Mei's lineage, or a resident of Hai Lan's original world, or fragments of the divine nature.
"The supplies are all in the cabin. I bought a lot of food and plant seeds, as well as three warm-water cows, ten flame-eyed ducks and ten spurred chickens. I don't know how to feed them. Some of them seem to be dying." Leila looked very embarrassed as she spoke. She looked at Jiang Qiao and Hai Lan for help.
"Don't look at me. I don't know how to raise cows or chickens, but she... knows a hundred ways to eat a cow."
Jiang Qiao really didn't expect that Leila would actually move the entire farm here, but now the players in the stronghold have started playing games like Mine Story and Factory Tycoon. Will there be any players who want to play Ranch Story
Raising creatures such as chickens, cows, and sheep in the game can only be considered as a pastime, or as food for Miss Freya.
And they are very difficult to keep, but wait…
"What duck? What cow? What chicken?" Jiang Qiao suddenly remembered that when Leila mentioned those ingredients, there seemed to be some powerful prefixes in front of them.
"Warm-water cows, flame-eyed ducks, and spurred chickens are all livestock with low levels of magic power in their bodies," Leila introduced.
"What's the difference between these things and livestock without magic power?" Jiang Qiao asked again.
"It's... difficult to raise? The Flame Duck will spit out some small flames. If you eat it for the first time, you may feel your blood vessels expand a little due to the magic power, but the Holy Spirits should not feel that way."
Leila recalled the previous "confrontation" with the players on the island, and the serious expression on her face almost collapsed.
"As expected of a chicken from the magical world, are there any with higher quality?" Jiang Qiao thought about it and decided to introduce the ranch system as well. As for whether any players want to play, it's up to them.
But these enchanted chickens and ducks have great potential for evolution. If you want to catch them as pets... Jiang Qiao thinks it would be more practical to directly capture the monsters on Brand Island.
But the dishes they make are enchanted!
"Yes, a lot, but they are too expensive," Leila said helplessly.
"I will find a way to get you some funds, but when you are seeking revenge or doing other main tasks, just remember that this is also a main task for you."
Jiang Qiao opened his backpack, thinking about what he could bring to this world to sell. According to normal practice, it should be those special HP potions.
But these potions are only effective on Holy Spirits and NPCs in Holy Spirits.
"Agent, there is one more thing." Leila seemed to have a fierce struggle in her heart before she spoke to Jiang Qiao, "Your knight saved a few poor people when he destroyed the crystal altar in Osprey Port."
"You want me to save them?"
Jiang Qiao's words made Leila's lips purse tightly together. Her self-esteem seemed to not allow her to make any additional requests to Jiang Qiao, but Leila's kindness still prevented her from standing by and watching someone die.
"We are just in need of a few NPCs. Let's see if we can use them as tools." Jiang Qiao murmured softly, and Leila successfully overheard it.
"Tool man?" Why did Leila feel that this description was a little scary
"It's nothing, nothing. Take me to see the wounded." Jiang Qiao's previous whisper was really just a joke.
It was really just a joke. As for why the Wasp Knight didn't report this to Jiang Qiao, the knight might not have taken those people seriously at all. To her, who the enemy was was the most important thing.
