Survived, barely.
Weisser held her sister Youmi's hand and followed Jiang Qiao carefully.
Jiang Qiao did not use handcuffs or ropes to restrain their movements like he did when he offered milk without charging extra. Weisser and Youmi followed Jiang Qiao freely... as if to say, "You can run away anytime you want."
Her younger sister Youmi really wanted to run away. Ever since she left the place where they offered free milk, she had been wanting to run away with her sister, but she was pulled back by Weisser.
Unable to run away, Youmi had no choice but to ask for potatoes from the shop that offered milk without extra charge. From beginning to end, she was thinking about the small basket of potatoes in the shop's backpack.
"Hurry up and give us back the potatoes you stole!"
"That was a tribute from the gods to exchange for better supplies. How can you say it was stolen?"
"You stole seven of our potatoes!"
Weisser kept covering her sister's mouth but couldn't make her shut up. Sometimes Weisser envied her sister's fearless character because of her young age.
But as an adult, Weisser was already thinking about what she was about to encounter. At first, Weisser was still thinking about some slave market, but as Weisser got closer to the coast, she could vaguely hear some strange music.
At first she thought she had misheard, there shouldn't be such a thing as music on such a dangerous island.
But as time goes by, the feedback from your ears is not deceiving. There is not only music on the coastline, but it is not played by a single instrument, but an entire symphony orchestra.
"Welcome to the initial base of the Holy Spirits." Jiang Qiao used his hands to push away the vegetation that blocked the view, and the scenery at the end of the coastline gradually appeared in front of Weisser and Youmi.
“Those things…are they all Holy Spirits?”
Weisser didn't dare to take a step forward for a moment. She was frightened... The scene before her eyes was far more shocking than when she went to the slave market.
She had lived on Brand Island for nearly three months, and Weisser knew clearly what kind of island it was.
Crystal disease is spreading everywhere, and there is a high chance of being infected with the disease once you land on the island. Although the chance of infection is far lower than coming into contact with these spell thieves, the most dangerous creatures on the island are the crystallized monsters.
Weisser now feels like an NPC in Resident Evil 4, being taken all the way to a safe shelter by the protagonist team. This shelter is an amusement park, not an amusement park occupied by monsters, but an amusement park that is still in operation!
Not only did the staff of the amusement park not feel fear because of the coming of the end of the world, but they were singing and dancing next to the various amusement facilities.
"They are all holy spirits." Jiang Qiao said helplessly.
Jiang Qiao really wanted to tell Weisser and Youmi that we are heroes hired by Mother Earth to save your world, but the players in the initial base did not behave like heroes at all.
Ever since the mini-game function was launched in the initial base, some health-conscious players have emerged who do not kill monsters or level up, but just sit next to the wooden stakes and play mahjong or Landlord.
As a result, the front-line strategy team would occasionally go to the initial base to play one or two small games. Coupled with the introduction of the Holy Spirit's dancing system, Jiang Qiao now saw that the initial base was like a weird mixture of a senior citizen's teahouse and a disco.
The doll costumes of the Holy Spirits can also add some amusement park elements.
"You are coming to this island..." When Weisser asked this, she didn't dare to ask any more.
shameful.
"Well, we actually came to this island to develop real estate." Jiang Qiao knew that it was impossible to make the two sisters associate the Holy Spirit with the image of the Savior. "The feng shui of this island is very good. Uh... I can't make it up anymore. Anyway, the pressure they give you is less than that of soldiers and slave masters, right?"
Weisser didn't answer.
In order to prevent the road to the carriage shop from being blocked by the surrounding players, Jiang Qiao walked quickly towards the carriage shop after entering the initial base.
The names above Weisser and Youmi's heads are yellow in color, and have the prefix "Spell Thief". As soon as these two characters enter the initial base, they look like two wild giant pandas.
Those players who were still playing Landlord and Texas Hold'em put down their cards and focused their attention on Weisser and Youmi.
"Sister, unicorn!"
"Don't talk, Youmi, follow me."
Weisser kept pulling her sister's hand and followed Jiang Qiao. Finally, under Jiang Qiao's leadership, they successfully met Father Donald, the Lionheart Knight, behind the carriage shop.
During this period of time, the Lionheart Knight had perfectly integrated into the role of Donald's father. When Jiang Qiao saw him, he was wiping the glass of the glass with a rag.
Players can buy some wine and drinks from Papa Donald. Apart from restoring HP and MP, these wines and drinks only have some small bonuses, so not many players patronize Papa's store.
There are quite a few players who sit in front of the carriage shop for a long time just to see Miss Cat standing next to them.
"Holy Spirit? What new things have you brought here?"
The Lionheart Knight put down the polished glass in his hand. He had known for a long time that Jiang Qiao had added an additional identification function for him. Jiang Qiao had not announced this talent identification function on the official website and it was also a secretly updated function.
But the players who followed along caught some clues, because Daddy Donald would only answer players when the players took the initiative to talk to him.
This time, Father Donald took the initiative to talk to Jiang Qiao, which obviously triggered some new plot.
Three more options popped up in front of Jiang Qiao, the first of which was green.
1. I hope to help these two poor girls find jobs in the job market (Weiser’s wish: agree, Youmi’s wish: agree).
Jiang Qiao chose the first option.
Jiang Qiao knew that after the players learned about this task, it was impossible for them to just watch Jiang Qiao complete it once. This "talent recruitment" task would inevitably be a repetitive and sustainable task in the future.
In other words, players now have two choices after capturing the Spell Thief. The first is to hand them over to the Imperial Army led by Leila in exchange for rewards. The second is to persuade them to join the talent market.
"Spell thieves? But they don't look like combatants. Holy Spirit, are you sure they are willing to work for you? Our job market does not accept forced workers or lazy guys."
The Lionheart Knight spoke these words in a very loud and powerful voice... so that the players around who were watching out of curiosity could hear clearly the mechanism of capturing the Spell Thief and letting them join the talent market.
To put it bluntly, it is to persuade the players to surrender. This is a very harsh condition. The thief who is caught by the players must be convinced and want to help the holy spirits sincerely.
Jiang Qiao thought that there might not be many players who could do this, because most spell thieves regarded the Holy Spirit as their mortal enemy, and if they were caught in battle, it would be very difficult.
Those law thieves will not surrender by saying something like "loyalty to the old master or my life is more important".
"We are willing to work here!" Weisser seemed to mistakenly think that the Lionheart Knight was questioning her, so she hurriedly shouted to the Lionheart Knight.
"I see your desire in your eyes. Please sign these two contracts in the name of the Sea Blue Goddess."
The Lionheart Knight took out two ancient contracts. These two contracts were the real key props. The contracts were special props made by Jiang Qiao using the energy of creation.
The more potential and powerful the alien is, the more creation energy he consumes when signing this contract, and the prerequisite is that they have no resistance. If Jiang Qiao lets the Mother Goddess of Earth forcibly press her fingerprint on this contract, it is estimated that more than 1.5 million creation energy will be consumed.
These two sisters... should be around before five o'clock.
While Jiang Qiao was thinking this, Weisser pulled her sister Youmi and signed her names on the two contracts without hesitation, and pricked her fingertips to press her fingerprints on them.
Jiang Qiao took a look at his creation energy which was close to 47,300 points, and in an instant... it dropped by 4,000 points.
"What the hell?"
Jiang Qiao was frightened and directly picked up the contract signed by Weisser, and took a detailed look at Weisser's specific attributes after she was transformed into an NPC by the Holy Spirit.
