The opening battle of Kuroshio Island is just a temporary copy.
After rescuing Lady Disaster, the players were collectively teleported back to Brand Island, including Jia Nai Bu Jia Jia who was trapped in a cage and was also teleported back to the island along with the cage.
The bounty on her body was still there, and Jiang Qiao did not release her because of the rules of the game.
The next time Jiang Qiao teleports, he will throw her to the plane pirates.
After all, if a player steals something from an NPC and is not discovered, it's fine. But if he is discovered, there must be punishment, such as a bounty, imprisonment, and a reduction in reputation. These are all very common punishments.
If there were no punishment, the cooperation between the plane pirates and the holy spirits would have just been established, and they would have turned around to find that every brick and tile in their city had been emptied by the players!
What Jiang Qiao also needs to do is to fix the bugs, and these bugs require cooperation from all camps to fix.
In addition, the death penalty on Kuroshio Island has been increased, which Jiang Qiao is still considering... At this stage, there are a total of 137,521 Holy Spirit players, and the creation energy held by Jiang Qiao can be maintained at around 730,000, with an average daily income of around 30,000 creation energy.
This is a number that Jiang Qiao himself has no idea about, because Jiang Qiao will put any creative energy he has into use.
Every time a Spellthief or a dragon creature on Black Tide Island kills a player, Jiang Qiao will lose one to three energy points.
But what surprised Jiang Qiao was that... when the player died, there was no sign of any loss in Jiang Qiao's remaining creation energy.
As for players being killed by plane pirates, the Chosen Ones, and the Legion of Annihilation, there is no such problem. There is no problem with players killing each other.
The key is the Spell Thief and the native creatures on Kuroshio Island. They have mastered the power of Hai Lan's divine fragments, and also mastered the method of absorbing the power of the God Eater of Gods.
When Jiang Qiao was thinking about what kind of death punishment to design... Jiang Qiao received a call from his own Freya.
This made Jiang Qiao rush to where his Freya was as soon as possible.
Jiang Qiao originally wanted to design Freya Unit-01 as an NPC to lead players to the next copy, but the embarrassing thing was that Jiang Qiao couldn't find the NPC position that Freya Unit-01 could serve as.
So now Freya from the Jiangqiao family is staying safely in the Astrology Tower in Lionheart City, silently monitoring the mental and physical health of other Freyas.
When Jiang Qiao arrived at the Astrology Tower in Lionheart City... Jiang Qiao sensed a hint of melancholy on the expressionless face of his own Freya.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Qiao asked directly.
Freya from Jiangqiao learns about emotions very quickly, and her personality is a bit like that of a virtuous wife, which is also the character that Freya, the eldest daughter, should have.
"Holy Spirit... I... When the other Holy Spirits died in the battle with the Spellthief and the Crystal Dragon on the Black Tide Island, I... detected that Freya, who was connected to them, had lost a small part of her memory component. A small part is about six to forty-eight hours of memory."
There was worry in her voice and she put her hands on her chest to show some fear.
"A small part of the memory element was taken away?"
Jiang Qiao, who was able to remain calm even when faced with tons of bugs and a lot of work to improve the new version, became a little excited when he heard what Freya said.
Freya was obviously frightened. She pursed her lips and tried to take a step back carefully, but she accidentally stepped on the steps behind her and was about to fall.
At this moment, Jiang Qiao walked up, grabbed Freya's arm and pulled her up, but Freya was still in fear and self-blame.
She may think that she is responsible for the unexpected situation.
"... Sit down." Jiang Qiao pointed at the steps behind Freya and sat on the steps with Freya.
Then... Jiang Qiao reached out and held Freya's still slightly trembling arm. Freya's arm was very cold, and from the touch one could still tell that it was a puppet's hand.
But Jiang Qiao could still feel that this doll had a beating heart.
"This is not your responsibility. Tell me what happened?" Jiang Qiao gently pinched Freya's palm, which made her inner fear and self-blame dissipate a little.
"The power drawn from the chaos called Kuroshio Island is not the creation energy that you, Holy Spirit, have accumulated but have not used, but... the creation energy that has already been used." Freya said something that sounded like a tongue twister.
"The creation energy that has already been used?" Jiang Qiao was suddenly shocked.
"It's the creation energy that has been used to build houses and create NPCs!"
Hai Lan's figure appeared in the Astrology Tower at this time. She was obviously very angry. Of course, she was not angry because Jiang Qiao held Freya's hand.
However, when Hailan's gaze fell on Jiangqiao's hand holding Freya's, Freya was a little scared and wanted to break free from Jiangqiao's hand, because in her heart, Hailan was the same supreme existence as Jiangqiao.
Jiang Qiao reluctantly let go of Freya's hand, otherwise she might be left with psychological trauma from being stared at by Hai Lan.
"But why did the players' Freya lose her memory?" Jiang Qiao just wanted to know the reason.
"Because Freya and the others are also made of creation energy, that Chaos has its own consciousness! When it kills the Holy Spirits, it will also search for the energy composition of the Holy Spirits, and know which part to eat that the Holy Spirit cares about the most!"
Hai Lan said this while clenching her fists and showing a Muay Thai warning posture. Jiang Qiao could feel the emotions coming from Hai Lan. She was as angry as if her favorite pizza and barbecue were hit by a car on the way to delivery.
"... Freya's memory data is related to the Holy Spirits. After killing those dragons and spell thieves, have the missing memories been recovered?" Jiang Qiao suddenly asked Freya beside him when he thought of this.
"All have been retrieved." Jiang Qiao's Freya gave a reply that made Jiang Qiao feel relieved. "I have checked the damaged Freyas' memory sequences. The missing parts are intact. There is no problem at all."
This answer made Jiang Qiao feel relieved. If Freya would lose half a day to two days of memory every time the spell thieves and native monsters on Kuroshio Island killed a player, and could not get it back, Jiang Qiao might consider giving up the Kuroshio Island dungeon!
but…
"Why Freya again?"
Even Jiang Qiao himself couldn't help but ask, this time in the Kuroshio Island dungeon, Jiang Qiao really didn't want to be associated with the puppet girls.
This is the second battle of the Godhead, but the players have accumulated strong enough power, and with the assistance of three camps, it is not too difficult to eliminate the law thieves on the island.
But... this time Jiang Qiao, the bastard planner, has no way to deal with it.
"Because Freya is the part that the Holy Spirits care about the most, and I don't know if it's all the Holy Spirits, Chaos chooses this most precious part to devour." Hai Lan said.
"Could it be that those map-clearing and technical players have lost their equipment?" Jiang Qiao felt his head starting to hurt.
Every time a player dies in the Holy Spirit's original world, it is actually a process of teleporting from point A to point B, which can be achieved without consuming much creation energy.
In the first battle of the Godhead, Queen Mei was able to devour the creation energy in the players' bodies, but Jiang Qiao replaced all of this energy with unused parts.
But this time, the chaos of Kuroshio Island not only devours the energy of creation, it also chooses the part that can most affect the player's mentality... Freya's memory.
Jiang Qiao was thinking whether to cut off the connection between players and Freya during the Kuroshio Island Raiders. But if it was really cut off, players would not be able to see Freya's stats, and a series of problems would arise when entering the tree hole...
"This is a bit troublesome." Jiang Qiao began to think about the best way to deal with it.
