The Lionheart Knight took a look at the group message. After he confirmed Jiang Qiao's instructions with Queen May again...Hei Guo Zhu Rou just leaned against the bar and took off his hat.
"Holy Spirit, before you hire him, I have something to remind you. There is a dangerous curse lurking in his body."
The Lionheart Knight put the middle-aged man's employment contract on the bar and pushed it to Heiguozhurou, who took the contract and took a look at it.
This NPC named Kevin the Craftsman is an R-level NPC, and his daily salary is 20 silver coins, which is a very cheap price compared to the hiring price of the two Dragon Speaker sisters...
"There's still a curse? But this is also a normal operation in online games. There is no prop store in the game Holy Spirit. Will I have to work hard to get the props to remove the curse?"
Hei Guo Zhu Rou seemed to have been mentally prepared for this, because this time Leaping Nuclear took seven NPCs home at once. According to his gaming experience, no matter whether it was a stand-alone game or an online game, the game planners and the game system would never... give the rewards to the players so easily.
This is just like those equipments with the aura of other worlds. You get them... but if you want to really use them, you need some kind of paid item or complete certain specific tasks to equip them.
This is a very common way to cheat money in online games.
"We don't have any means to purify the curse on him now...Holy Spirit, but his curse will dissipate in an estimated sixteen days." The Lionheart Knight told Black Pot Zhurou the bad news.
Holy Spirit is such a charming and natural game. It is true that your items need to be purified... but there is no shortcut by spending money.
In order to make players understand the seriousness of the matter, Jiang Qiao edited a hidden task and released it to all players who tried to recruit those NPCs.
"Side quest: Cursed Refugees.
Mission description: The civilians rescued from the fire seem to be carrying an extremely terrifying curse. This curse may cause damage to the stronghold, but it will be eliminated after sixteen days. What will you choose, kind Holy Spirit
Mission objective: Abandon the rescued refugees or host them in the base for sixteen days.
Mission Reward: Cat's Thank You Voucher x3. "
At this moment, all the holy spirits near the carriage shop received this side quest, and Mo Shigui walked directly to the black pot cooking meat.
"You triggered it?" Mo Shigui asked.
"President, have you also received this side quest? What should I do... The planning of this game is really cunning."
Heiguozhurou handed the employment contract of the craftsman Kevin to Mo Shigui and pointed to the entry of Flesh and Blood Resonance S on the contract of the craftsman Kevin.
In Heiguozhurou's opinion, this entry is no different from those equipments with 'strong alien aura'.
"There's no way to purify it directly?" Mo Shigui frowned, looked up at the Lionheart Knight and asked.
The Lionheart Knight shook his head regretfully and repeated his previous answer to the question about cooking meat in a black pot.
"A curse that will destroy the stronghold. There is a certain probability that it will erupt within sixteen days."
Mo Shigui read the reminder on the entry for Flesh and Blood Resonance S, and then he looked at other guilds...
The Abyss Temple was the most direct. Canxin didn't even bother with the curse item of Flesh and Blood Resonance S, and directly signed employment contracts with the ten NPCs he brought back from the fire scene.
"President, I can build separate accommodation for them in a more remote area of the base, and also build some defensive offensives, which is an isolation zone." Little Feather said at this time.
Mo Shigui did not answer and turned his gaze to the craftsman Kevin again. He held his daughter in his arms and listened quietly to the discussion of the holy spirits, his expression changing in a very complicated manner.
From the initial surprise of being rescued by the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit's willingness to hire him, to the fear of being discovered that he had crystallization disease, to the loss and sigh when he heard about the quarantine area.
"… "
Mo Shigui did not ask for the opinions of those NPCs. He had an additional option in the conversation with the Lionheart Knight...an option that he cared about very much, so much that he had to ask.
"Dad, will this curse endanger the ancient trees in the stronghold... and the people living inside?" Mo Shigui asked directly.
He didn't ask in detail who it was, but the guild members who were listening nearby understood what their leader was worried about... that is, the base could be destroyed, and at worst they could just rebuild it, but if something happened to their wife, they would be really finished.
"The probability is very small." The Lionheart Knight said according to Jiang Qiao's reply, "The ancient tree in the stronghold is a protected sacred tree. Maybe the monsters on this island can destroy it, but there is absolutely no curse that can penetrate its interior."
"..." Mo Shigui continued to look at the task reward and the description of Flesh and Blood Resonance S and fell into deep thought. If possible, he really wanted to pull the omnipotent Fanxing over to explain what the hell Flesh and Blood Resonance S was.
But now the answer is clear.
"During these sixteen days, it seems that we can't go online for the entire last day." Mo Shigui told his elite strategy team the bad news.
"Will the Holy Spirit provide protection on the last day?" the Fluffy Rabbit asked in confusion.
"You're stupid. The finals of the Summer League will be held in fifteen days, and there will also be a departure ceremony for the Intercontinental Championship. On the sixteenth day, Hei Guo Zhu Rou and the others will probably be on the plane to South Korea." said the mother.
This year's summer season of Dispute is very short, Jiang Qiao doesn't know why... The schedule is only twenty days, and after that it will be the Intercontinental Championship.
The Intercontinental Championship is a small dessert after the end of the Dissidia Summer Season, but it is also an international-level competition. The Chinese division will send the four best teams from the previous season to participate in the Intercontinental Championship.
If Jiang Qiao remembered correctly, the four clubs participating in the intercontinental competition this time should be Leaping Nuclear, Abyss Temple, King of the World and Coke Mania.
"Well, it only takes a few hours to fly to South Korea. After we land... we should be able to have some fun, right?" the Fluffy Rabbit asked somewhat unconvinced.
"No, I heard from my friends abroad that Holy Spirit can only be played in China... Foreign friends are now frantically giving bad reviews to Holy Spirit on the Tiangong game platform saying things like... I need English. Every time I'm unhappy, I'll check the comment section of Holy Spirit. The comments from foreign friends are really the source of my daily happiness." Lan Lan said.
Tiangong Game Platform is a game platform for the whole world.
Holy Spirit is a free game on the Tiangong game platform and can be downloaded without paying, but the most frustrating thing for players is that they cannot play it after downloading it.
Jiang Qiao could do nothing about this, as Jiang Qiao did not allow overseas friends to obtain game qualifications. Now if Sheng Ling wanted to obtain game qualifications, he had to have a Chinese IP. This also led to all foreign language comments in Sheng Ling's game comment section being filled with the same cry of "let me in".
"What's even more worrying is that there's a high probability that our team will play against Jun Lin Tian Xia in the finals on the 15th." Mom said, "Xiao Ye's condition has improved recently. After all, your Xiao Ye is still your Xiao Ye. President Yin must be under a lot of pressure now."
"President, if you are really worried about your wife, no...if we are in our base, why don't we release them for sixteen days? Wait until the curse is purified before officially hiring them?" Little Feather saw Mo Shigui's dilemma.
During this period, most members of the Elite Raiders Team of Leaping Nuclear were unable to stay online for a long time...
"Shishitian has already been recruited by other guilds. Xiao Yuyao, when you go back, set up a temporary quarantine area. I will find people to take turns watching them 24 hours a day." Mo Shigui finally made this decision. "This curse will definitely break out, so everyone be prepared to fight in the base."
I just hope the timing of the explosion isn’t... so unfortunate, Mo Shigui prayed in his heart.
