The hotpot party lasted until very late, and more and more people came. As one wave of players from the guild left, another wave of players from the guild arrived.
A subtle hotpot relay was formed. Jiang Qiao didn't eat much tonight's celebration. He just felt up close what the e-sports masters thought of the game Holy Spirit and then returned to the hotel alone.
This time when Jiang Qiao went out, what he was most worried about was whether Hai Lan would tear down his house. However, she had already learned the skill of ordering takeout, so it should be no problem.
Jiang Qiao lay on the bed in the hotel and browsed a lot of messages, some of which were text messages from his parents, which were nothing more than "Where have you been?" and "Come here for dinner." and so on.
This holographic projection exhibition has attracted attention from all over the world, and as the protagonist, Jiang Qiao's father must be very busy at night.
Jiang Qiao replied to a few messages on his mobile phone, then opened the message acquisition app and started checking the messages.
Just as Jiang Qiao expected, the most searched news now is no longer Zhao Mingwei's retirement, but "Holy Spirit Flame Cinder Dragon Appears at the Holographic Projection Exhibition", and the next one is "Upper City Holographic Projection Exhibition".
What Jiang Qiao found most interesting was that… the top trending search was from a newspaper, not a gaming media. When the newspaper published this news, it used a very official tone to explain what the Flame Cinder Dragon was.
'The Flame Cinder Dragon, a lord-level monster from the Brand Island map in the game "Holy Spirit"... This time it appeared in the holographic projection exhibition...'
Jiang Qiao felt that this did not look like a newspaper report just by looking at the beginning. Instead, it looked like an ecological analysis of the Flame Cinder Dragon. If Jiang Qiao were the boss of the newspaper, he would definitely ask the editor to rewrite it immediately.
The comments below are also confusing.
'The Holy Spirit? What is that?'
"Isn't that dragon from Dissidia?"
'How did something from a game end up at such an important exhibition?'
There are still quite a lot of comments of this type. Although video games have been developed for so many years, there are still many elderly people who find it difficult to accept the existence of this thing.
But these have nothing to do with Jiang Qiao. The Holy Spirit has completed its first act on stage, and it is time for Jiang Qiao to start the next step of construction.
The reputation of the Holy Spirit has already been spread, and all that remains is to attract sponsors.
During the hotpot party, the players of Leaping Nuclear discussed what the inner world of the Holy Spirit was.
Most players guessed that it was just an AR gameplay and told their friends not to expect too much.
Jiang Qiao was unable to explain to them at the party how the game in the other world was played, so he could only tell the Holy Spirit players through practical actions.
"It's almost time."
Jiang Qiao checked the messages on his phone and sure enough, there were several messages from Hai Lan. Jiang Qiao didn't read the messages and simply closed his eyes and logged into the world of the Holy Spirit.
As the creator of the Holy Spirit...it was just a matter of thought for Jiang Qiao to enter the world of the Holy Spirit.
When Jiang Qiao opened his eyes again, he was already in the dungeon lord's dormitory. The Shadow Chosen was tied up and thrown on the grass in the lord's dormitory.
Wasp Knight was standing guard over her.
"Jiang Qiao! Jiang Qiao! The gods are here to find me! Can I have an extra meal tonight?" Hai Lan rushed over to Jiang Qiao as soon as she saw him.
"Don't say such scary things with such an expectant expression. Those gods are our important partners." Jiang Qiao tapped Hai Lan's forehead to make her stop and not pounce on him. "Give me a copy of their coordinates. And as for Wasp Knight, keep an eye on her first. I still have some use for her."
Jiang Qiao gave some instructions to the Wasp Knight before opening the portal and leaving the dungeon lord's dormitory. After doing this, Jiang Qiao led Hai Lan into the portal.
The portal led to a hidden forest area on Brand Island. From Jiang Qiao's perception, there were no traces of any players around.
The Mother Goddess of Earth and the God of War Urd have been waiting for Jiang Qiao here for a long time.
"Respected God of Devouring Gods..." God of War Urd bowed to Jiang Qiao again.
"I've already told you that there's no need to call us that. It sounds awkward. Let me just tell you why you're here. You want to ask me why I don't defeat the Flame Cinder Dragon but want to protect it instead, right?" Jiang Qiao asked.
Mother Goddess of Earth and God of War Urd both nodded slightly.
Initially, the mission of the Holy Spirits hired by Mother Earth was to completely purify Brand Island. Now, four island masters of Brand Island have died tragically at the hands of the Holy Spirits, and even the leader of the law thieves has been severely injured by the Holy Spirits.
These were good news for the gods of this world, and they were cheering for them. However, the Holy Spirits not only stopped attacking the island lord, but also shouted slogans such as "I will start protecting the dungeon boss!", "No killing without buying and selling!", and "Save the boss!" under the slogan of ecological balance.
"I don't think you will believe the reason of ecological balance. All I want to say is that we should take the reward that we deserve." Jiang Qiao said with a smile.
"You... have received enough rewards from this island, God Eater." said the Mother Earth.
The reward that Mother Earth refers to here should be the mother crystal that the holy spirits stripped from the monsters.
"You just mentioned this island, right?" Jiang Qiao clearly remembered that when he accepted the commission from Mother Earth, he had not yet decided on the reward. "All the mother crystals on Brand Island are from Brand Island. They are obtained by our Holy Spirit after defeating the monsters on Brand Island. They are not the rewards given by you."
"God of Devouring Gods, what on earth do you want that makes you willing to purify the remaining three areas of the island?" The Mother Goddess of Earth did not want to continue arguing with Jiang Qiao.
"Find out who your traitor is!" Jiang Qiao's tone suddenly changed, and a light golden color suddenly appeared in his pupils. At this moment, the Mother Goddess of Earth took a step back with some fear.
"Crystallization is not a plague at all. On the contrary, it is a way for life to evolve. It's just that not all humans can withstand it, so it causes death. The thieves who have evolved into perfect crystal seeds cannot spread crystallization. Only those who have not yet evolved completely can spread it." Jiang Qiao's tone suddenly softened here. "You don't care about all these settings. There are guys among the gods who want to sacrifice the blood of the people to become perfect crystal seeds. If you want to eliminate the crystal plague... just kill it."
"God Eater, the conflict between gods is not something you should care about. Brand Island is still absorbing the power of our world. We only hope that you can resolve it as soon as possible." said the God of War Urd.
"Of course we can solve it, but we need a reward. No... let's make a bet. Aren't you confident in the strength of your chosen ones and the warriors under your command? Let them challenge the Holy Spirits under my command. As long as any one of them defeats fifty Holy Spirits in a row, I will purify an area. How about this bet?" Jiang Qiao asked.
