Creating a Virtual World

Chapter 178: Big Liar (Second Update)

Views:

The Coke Fanatic Guild is now surrounded by players from the initial base.

All the people who were playing Landlord, Mahjong, Dance Battle, and Gwent in the initial base followed the two sisters Weisser and Youmi and ran to the base of the Coke fanatics.

The base of Coke Mania is a Feng Shui treasure land, not far from the initial base and close to the coast.

If the base built by Leaping Nucleus is a combination of a mining industrial center and a defensive fortress, the style of the base that Coke Mania is preparing to build is a combination of Ranch Story and an island tourist destination.

The bubble did not restrict outside players from entering his base, nor did it restrict players sent by the other seven major guilds to spy on intelligence from leaving.

As a qualified seal, Bubble finally drew an SSR-level character, so the natural thing for him to do is to show it off.

So Bubble signaled Weisser and Youmi to walk onto a stage temporarily built by the Coke Fanatic Guild. Below stood a group of players who came to watch. Many of these players were recording live broadcasts, and there were screenshot gadgets recording the figures of Weisser and Youmi.

Jiang Qiao was of course also among the group of onlookers. These were the first two SSR-level characters to appear in Holy Spirit, and they were also given the extremely high-sounding titles of Dragon Tamer and Dragon Speaker.

When the prefixes of Weisser and Youmi changed, there was already a lot of noise on the Holy Spirit forum about their abilities... Among the onlookers below, there were also many forum veterans who came to verify what the functions of these two SSR-level characters were.

The other part is the news media, the real gaming news media, they can write about many things that happen in Holy Spirit as big news.

"Isn't this exactly the treatment of a star?" Jiang Qiao squeezed in among a group of players who were frantically recording videos and taking screenshots. He felt that it would be no problem to hold an autograph session for Weisser and Youmi.

No matter how popular they are, Jiang Qiao still wants to get down to business as soon as possible. Now the bubbles on the stage are already trying to communicate with the two sisters.

Bubble deliberately disclosed his dialogue box, so that the players watching around could see the special options that popped up when he communicated with the two sisters, as well as what the two sisters' lines were.

Although there are many preset dialogues for NPCs in Holy Spirit, players' impression of NPCs still remains at the level of "this NPC only has a few lines, and I can always summarize them by repeating the conversation."

This time, players still have the same attitude towards Weisser and Yumi. They are recording how many lines Weisser and Yumi have in total, what are their background stories, what are their preferences, are there any hidden tasks, and what is the best reward in the hidden tasks

This may be the greatest value of an NPC to players.

"I'm the Holy Spirit Bubble who hired you. I'm curious...about your past on this island."

Bubble chose the most basic self-introduction option based on the three pre-selected options given by the system. This option does not require any charm bonus and is also the most common way to ask the NPC about their past background story in the game.

Weisser opened her mouth when she heard Bubbles' answer. Her legs were weak now... If her sister hadn't been by her side, Weisser might have already fallen to her knees.

Before she could react to what was happening, Weisser found herself standing on a stage, with more than a hundred Holy Spirits watching below.

Some holy spirits even climbed onto the roofs of buildings and sat there in order to see them.

This scene...Weiser had only seen it at the execution ground before!

"Sister?" Youmi felt her sister's fear. She held her sister's hand and was about to yell to Bubble, 'Don't bully my sister', but Weisser was quick to put her hand gently on Youmi's lips.

Fortunately...the mysterious words appeared in front of Youmi again.

"I was just an ordinary seamstress. After being infected by the crystal disease, I drifted to this island and was taken in by the law thieves."

Weisser said this sentence according to the answer given by the mysterious text. Although she didn't quite understand what the "cold" and "mysterious" tones meant, Weisser's tone, which showed no emotion because she was so scared, did sound like the kind of cold feeling of "neither happy nor sad".

But Weisser regretted it right after she finished saying it. Revealing that she had crystal disease in front of so many people was tantamount to sentencing herself to death, even for the Holy Spirit.

Sure enough, Bubble frowned after hearing Weisser's answer, and his expression was very tangled. Weisser looked at him nervously and was silent for a second or two. Then Bubble asked awkwardly...

"What is crystal sickness?"

"?" Weisser tilted her head slightly and looked at the bubbles with a puzzled expression.

"Hey! Can this conversation be skipped? I want to ask you directly if there is any hidden task." Bubble clicked on the conversation window. Unfortunately, he did not see the option to skip it on the dialog box.

Bubble and the Starry Scribe Team are two completely opposite extreme types of players. Bubble is the type who never pays attention to the plot when playing games. He only needs to know where to go, how many monsters to kill, and what rewards to get.

Perhaps the only person who can make Bubble calm down and listen to the conversation is Miss Freya. Now Bubble's mind is full of thoughts about the hidden tasks of these two SSR-level characters. With the prefix of Dragon Tamer, he might be able to get a dragon egg or something.

"Oh my god, Guild Master! Please cooperate and go through all the dialogues. There are many brothers in the guild who want to see it!"

"Not only the brothers in the guild, but also the passers-by around here come to watch the dialogue."

"President Bubble, could you please take a moment to go over this character story? And I can explain the crystallization to you!"

The Starry Scribes were among the passers-by below, shouting anxiously at the bubbles. He had been studying Miss Cat and some plots on Brand Island recently. The entanglement between the Spell Thief and Miss Cat was obviously the main plot on the island.

However, there was no progress in this part of the story until the main city of the Spell Thief was discovered. Then the Starry Scribes' soul of digging deep into the story began to burn again.

These two sisters are clearly a key turning point in the plot of The Spellthief.

"Okay! I'll go over the storyline." Bubble was not stupid. The major guilds competed with each other for one thing: to enhance the prestige and reputation of their own guild and to recruit potential passers-by players.

Bubble bought these two SSR-level characters in order to attract these passers-by players to join the guild. The requests they put forward were not excessive, so Bubble naturally had to satisfy them all.

"Then what was the sound you heard before?" Bubble chose a very critical option, and there was a hint after this option (there is a probability of triggering the character task).

coming.

Jiang Qiao, who was watching below, secretly opened the map of Brand Island. The crystal disease in the Spirit Vein Forest has now been purified by the players. According to the normal plot, the next areas that the players should conquer should be the Poison Mist Swamp and Snowfield maps.

The terrain of Brand Island is very interesting. Its landform is more like a roulette wheel. That is to say, it is not the snowfield or poisonous swamp deep in the Spiritual Forest, but the terrain on both sides of the Spiritual Forest is snowfield and poisonous swamp respectively.

At this stage, players’ desire to explore the two neighboring areas is not very high. Only players from Night Rush and Abyss Temple are rushing to the new map to explore the new areas like crazy. Other guilds and passers-by have entered a rhythm of retirement.

On the one hand, the clubs of the eight major guilds have all entered the summer season, and a small number of elite strategy teams have left. In addition, they have to consolidate their strongholds, so their desire to open up new areas is not very strong.

After all, the monsters on Brand Island can’t drop orange equipment.

Secondly, the mother crystals dropped by monsters can be traded, which has led to wealthy guilds like Coke Mania starting to spend money to purchase mother crystals instead of fighting for them themselves...well, they all purchase low-quality mother crystals.

In the end, Jiang Qiao still needs to design a complete quest line to guide players to explore Brand Island. Jiang Qiao did so. The rewards for the quest are Freya's various furniture and food from other worlds. Players are also working hard to make Freya live better...

But Jiang Qiao wouldn't let the players go to fight the final boss of this island just to collect one of Freya's beds, right? Although there would be many players willing to do so.

"This island is wailing." Weisser said slowly. She looked at the words that appeared in front of her and asked her to say something. Although Weisser herself didn't know what they meant, she still had to cooperate. "I can feel that there are many creatures on this island crying and wailing. They are gradually going violent because of crystallization. I can't save their adults, but those who are not yet born or are young, maybe I can comfort their pain."

What am I talking about!

Weisser's mind was a little confused when she said these words. She carefully observed the reaction of the bubbles. The line of mysterious words reminded Weisser that these holy spirits could understand her strange words... but...

"Did you write this down? Can I skip this?"

Bubble... wasn't listening at all. He wasn't listening to Weisser's lines at all. Now Bubble is just waiting to receive the mission!

"But which option should I choose next?" Bubble was puzzled when he saw the five options that Weisser popped up. These five options did not provide any hints for receiving the task.

The meanings of these five options are...

1. I can't understand what you are talking about.

2. Do you mean that the frenzy caused by the crystal disease infection can be suppressed

3. Can the thieves of law peek into the vitality of this island

4. How about playing a game of Landlord

5. Leave.

"President, you're screwed! No matter how you look at it, you should choose 3, right?"

"Don't be ridiculous, choose 2. If you want to continue the character's story, you should choose 2."

When Bubble was about to make a choice, a person was suddenly pushed onto the stage by Sprite. That was the Starry Scribes Team.

"We need to trigger the task of adopting dragon cubs. Look at the options and give the president some advice." Sprite said.

"Thanks for the recommendation, I should be able to trigger this hidden mission."

Fanxing seemed to have mistaken Sprite for the leader of Coke Fanatics. In fact, this was indeed the case with the Coke Fanatics Guild. Bubbles had no way to refute Sprite, so he could only watch as this member of the Scribe Team sat down next to him with a pile of forum documents.

"Let's choose option 2 for this answer. But the Holy Spirit has a language communication system. Do you know about it, President Bubble? If you say some other dialogues to the NPC, the NPC will give answers other than those options. But to be on the safe side, we should still choose according to the options given by the system." Fanxing started to give Bubble the standard answer.
