"Run, Pighead! This NPC will destroy your equipment without blinking an eye."
While Jiang Qiao was talking to the dwarf, McCafé grabbed the corner of Jiang Qiao's clothes with his hands and said with red eyes.
"Broken equipment? I saw a guy on the forum saying that the dwarf's broken equipment can be repaired in the equipment store. Miss McCafé, would you like to try it?"
Jiang Qiao and McAfee had met each other a few times... Even Jiang Qiao himself didn't know why, but all the players in the eight major guilds who could be named knew Jiang Qiao.
This was a very strange situation. Even those players whose names Jiang Qiao couldn't remember would call him "Boss" when they met him.
Jiang Qiao summarized the reasons. It might be because Zhao Mingwei was in Jiang Qiao's guild. Moreover, Zhao Mingwei often followed Jiang Qiao and kept calling Jiang Qiao "God" or "Big Brother".
This might be the name Zhao Mingwei jokingly called Jiang Qiao when he first met him in the game.
Then... this name spread among other players.
"Equipment store?"
McCafé wiped away his tears through the VR helmet and directly opened the equipment store of the God of Casting.
The original position of the God of Casting was to serve as the player's equipment store NPC. According to the conventions of the game, all the items sold in the store were blank equipment. The function of the store was to help players repair durability and recycle game coins.
The same is true for the God of Casting's shop. When you open it, all you see is blank equipment.
The God of Forge himself did not know this. He was just an ordinary NPC on guard duty, just like the thousands of functional NPCs on guard duty in the Holy Spirit's original world.
The tasks issued by this type of NPC are nothing more than asking you to go somewhere and kill a few chickens. Not many players will remember the name of this type of NPC.
McCafé didn't care about that. She directly clicked on the 'Repair All' option. After spending thirty silver coins to repair all her equipment to the maximum durability, her broken Lionheart Knight Lightning Spear was actually restored to its original state!
“Really…really okay?” McCafé looked at the weapon in his hand that had been restored to its original state, and he hugged his spear and began to roll over as if he was hugging a relative who had been buried but suddenly reborn.
Jiang Qiao ignored the rolling girl. The God of Forging could not destroy the creation of the God of Devouring Gods, at least... he could not destroy it completely.
The blow of the hammer just now only broke McCafé's weapon, not completely destroyed it... This level of damage can be repaired directly by the player at the NPC store.
"I think we can go in and talk." Jiang Qiao pointed to the shop behind the God of Casting.
Jiang Qiao could feel the hostility of the gods behind him towards the God of Casting... and their intention to drive the God of Casting away.
Originally Jiang Qiao didn't want to get involved in the conflict between the gods, but now from the gods' perspective, Jiang Qiao is not an obstacle, but a hostage of the God of Forging!
Once Jiang Qiao's conversation with the God of Casting is over, they will find a way to take action against the God of Casting.
The God of Casting also understood this, and he nodded his head slightly to indicate that he accepted Jiang Qiao's suggestion.
"I haven't received a commission to cast building materials for a long time! Interesting! Come in and talk to me in detail! Holy Spirit!" The God of Casting pointed to his house.
Jiang Qiao took this opportunity to edit a temporary hidden task.
"Hidden Mission: Recasting of Building Materials.
Mission description: With your excellent eloquence, the God of Casting has revealed to you some secrets about the casting of building materials, and you have decided to continue to explore.
Mission Reward: Unknown.
Jiang Qiao is now teaming up with Little Feather, the delicious white snake, and Xia Shan.
At this stage, the friction between the Plane Pirates and the Alliance of Gods is not too great, so players in the Plane Pirates camp can run around in the main city of the Alliance of Gods.
"How good are you at speaking, sir?"
Little Feather also received a hint about this hidden mission.
Hidden tasks are not difficult to trigger in the Holy Spirit's main world. It is natural that the new map of Kuroshio Island should also contain a large number of hidden tasks.
"sixty-three."
Jiang Qiao reported a level of eloquence that was among the best among first-tier players. This was something Jiang Qiao had practiced on his own, and even Jiang Qiao himself didn't know why it was so high.
So at the invitation of the God of Casting, Jiang Qiao and the other three walked into the God of Casting's blacksmith shop, and he also closed the door of the blacksmith shop completely.
This scene made the Coke enthusiasts watching nearby feel that something was wrong.
"Hidden mission? Didn't Leaping Atomic join the Plane Pirates? Why can they trigger the hidden mission of the Alliance of Gods?"
"Didn't you see the introduction to the conflict value in the faction introduction? Right now the conflict value is still very low. The two factions can move around freely, but there are no faction rewards."
"President, should we continue to go to the next level?" The Coke-crazy can asked Bubbles who had just come over to ask questions.
"Hidden mission? This is the first hidden mission of the Alliance of Gods. Let's see what it is first." Bubble was also very curious about what hidden mission Jiang Qiao had triggered.
So all the players were waiting quietly outside the blacksmith shop of the God of Forging, which made the God of Beauty feel more and more headache.
If you want hidden quests, I can give them to you! But that dwarf... he can smash your equipment with one hammer!
The Goddess of Beauty knew that the God of Forge was a very stubborn dwarf. If he smashed the equipment of the Holy Spirits for the first time, there would definitely be a second and a third time. She didn't want the favorability of the Holy Spirits that she had worked so hard to build up to be destroyed by a few blows from this dwarf.
The other gods seemed to have the same idea as the Goddess of Beauty, except that now the God of Forging was talking to the four holy spirits.
Those four Holy Spirits are the hostages of the God of Forge. They have to wait until the Holy Spirits are no longer paying attention to the God of Forge and then forcibly send him back!
And in the blacksmith shop...
"You seem to be receiving hostility from other gods."
As soon as Jiang Qiao entered the blacksmith shop, he said something that caused the favorability of the God of Forging to plummet.
Xiao Yumao and the others could also see this option, and also saw a prompt that the favorability of the God of Casting had decreased, which made Xiao Yumao a little anxious. He opened his mouth halfway but closed it again.
Because his eloquence is only twenty-one... which is considered inarticulate in the eyes of some smart NPCs.
"None of my business! Those greedy guys have their own intentions, and their hostility has no effect on me." The God of Casting found a chair and sat down, looking at Jiang Qiao and Xiao Yu Mao and said, "If you entrust me to make weapons, I will be happy to do so! But I am really not interested in any construction materials!"
"You can't defeat all the gods in this city, but they won't drive you away easily. But once we leave, the situation will be different. Here's a suggestion for you. If you want to stay here for a long time, it's best to let the holy spirits remember you. The best way is to let them do something that can only be done with your help."
Jiang Qiao's words were also chosen based on the options in the dialog box. Of course, it was to fool Xiao Yumao and the others. This option was edited by Jiang Qiao himself.
And one thing Jiang Qiao wants to tell the God of Casting is... if an NPC wants to be remembered by players, he must either have an outstanding appearance, participate in the main storyline and be the protagonist NPC, or have special system functions.
The first two points of the God of Casting cannot be achieved, but Jiang Qiao can enable him to achieve the last special system function.
"There is no excellent blacksmith in the City of Pirates and the City of Gods who can cast indestructible bricks and tiles. I wonder if you, who hold the title of God of Casting, have this ability?" Jiang Qiao continued to ask.
