Three days later.
Inside the Molten Black Ruins, the members of the Leaping Nuclear Strategy Team found a safe place to rest.
Juan Canyun sat alone in the corner holding his spear. He was silently watching the silly videos on the Tiangong YouTube website.
The video that Juan Canyun is watching now is "The Seventh Episode of the Holy Spirit's Trickster Moments" produced by a front-line reporter called UP.
This type of joke-style video that records the moments when players are tricked in the game is now very popular on YouTube. The popularity of this video is currently ranked seventh in the game section.
Juan Canyun looked at the comments floating by on the barrage, comments like "Care from the dog planner" and "Standard plot" that matched the scenes of players being tricked in the dungeon, which should have made Juan Canyun laugh happily.
But... Juan Canyun didn't want to laugh at all, because half of the material for this episode was typed by him, and the other half was jointly produced by the Leaping Nuclear Guild and the Abyss Temple Guild.
The Molten Ruins dungeon is really heart-wrenching. There are all kinds of hard-to-defend mechanisms in the dungeon. During the three days of pioneering together with the Plane Pirates, the Abyss Temple and Leaping Atom obtained countless materials.
'I declare that this episode is reserved by our Great Leap Nuclear.'
'You can't bully my Xiaowen like this! If you show my Xiaowen's material again, I will call the police! Hahaha~'
Juan Canyun felt bitter as he watched the comments on the barrage, because the video showed him being chased all over the ruins by a rolling skeleton boulder.
"Reporters, please be careful about your own safety when you follow the leader of Leaping Nuclear."
Juan Canyun looked at the comment and gazed towards the frontline reporter who was chatting happily with President Yin in the distance. Looking at the comment on the barrage, 'When we arrived at the scene, only a tombstone was left of the UP host,' Juan Canyun actually had a flash of thought of backstabbing.
"You look happy."
Suddenly, the voice of Lady Disaster sounded in Juan Canyun's ears. The moment Juan Canyun raised his head, he felt something thrown at him. He stretched out his hand and caught it... and caught a bottle of rum in a light green glass bottle.
"You have received a gift from Lady Disaster."
Juan Canyun was a little confused. He turned his head and found that Lady Disaster was already sitting next to him. This made Juan Canyun instinctively move his position a little further away from Lady Disaster.
He didn't know why this NPC always came to him. Juan Canyun had never gained any favorability from Lady of Disaster, but he somehow got the title of Lady of Disaster's Guardian, which was an epic title with attributes.
The members of the guild chased Juan Canyun and asked, "How did you get this title?"
Juan Canyun said that he was also very confused. During the three days of exploring the Molten Black Ruins, his duty was to explore the various traps within the ruins... a task that should have been done by an assassin and a thief.
Maybe during this process, Lady Disaster saw his agility and took a liking to him
But would NPC intelligence have the concept of "looking up to someone"? And there are several players in the Jumping Nucleus who are better than him, so there is no reason for that.
"You can face the distorted dragon and the rolling stone trap head-on, yet you are still afraid of me?" Lady Disaster asked puzzledly as she looked at Juan Canyun who was silently moving away from her.
"What do you want to talk to me about?"
Juan Canyun responded according to the options given in the dialog box. In real life, he had a bit of social phobia... He didn't dare to look strangers in the eye when talking to them.
This mild social phobia is not alleviated in the game at all, which is why Juan Canyun doesn't like being used as material in "Holy Spirit Pitfalls"... He always feels it's embarrassing.
Similarly, Juan Canyun was a little timid when communicating with NPCs.
"I can see that you are the most skilled one among those holy spirits." Lady Disaster shook the rum in her hand and wanted to clink glasses with Juan Canyun, but Juan Canyun had already put the rum thrown by Lady Disaster into her backpack.
When Lady Disaster raised her glass, she found that the bottle of wine in Juan Canyun's hand was gone, so she had no choice but to take a sip herself.
"Are you interested in working for me?" Lady Disaster asked directly after wiping the wine from the corner of her mouth.
"Haven't I already joined your camp?"
Juan Canyun's voice was very low, and his eyes did not meet Madam Disaster's. He kept staring at the dialog box and said whatever option was available on it.
"I mean my pirate group, not the faction you are talking about! What can you get from the group you belong to? I think I can give you everything."
There is a reason why Lady Disaster suddenly came to poach people. She knows that the relationship between the plane pirates and this group of holy spirits is only an employment relationship. This kind of relationship is very fragile and very chaotic.
In this battle at the Molten Black Ruins, no Holy Spirit was willing to follow her orders, and the most they could do was to protect her.
Lady Disaster's ambition made her not only treat the Holy Spirit as a bodyguard, but also a bodyguard who did not listen to her.
What she wants is a confidant, a confidant who trusts her and is worthy of her trust!
Although most of the Holy Spirit’s thoughts are very jumpy and cunning, there is also a small number of Holy Spirit’s minds that are very naive, just like a 17 or 18-year-old child.
Juan Canyun is the perfect candidate for recruitment that Lady Disaster has set her eyes on. Although he has a childish mind, his strength is among the best among all the Holy Spirits.
"what do you want?"
Juan Canyun held his spear and looked at the options that popped up in the dialog box. There were three options: money, equipment, and status.
But Juan Canyun was not interested in these things. What he wanted was... a sense of recognition, and what he desired most was...
"World champion." Juan Canyun did not follow the options in the dialog box this time. What Juan Canyun desired most now was the world championship of this season.
This was the only thing he could use to report to President Yin and Coach Song about his cultivation. As for the equipment and levels in the Holy Spirit, they were not important to Juan Canyun.
"World champion? What champion... Is there any competition between you holy spirits?" Lady Disaster asked curiously.
"Yeah." Juan Canyun didn't know how to explain for a moment.
"What about other things? Aren't you interested in treasure, money, status, and beautiful women?" Lady Disaster had a headache, because the bribes from the plane pirates did not include the world championship.
Juan Canyun shook his head… His current set of equipment was already the most advanced equipment in the Holy Spirit at this stage, and it was perfectly crafted. Juan Canyun felt that there was not much room for improvement.
"Listen carefully, kid. As long as you follow us... let alone one world! Countless worlds on the star map will submit to you. At that time, no matter what championship you want, it will be fine."
The moment Lady Disaster said this, Juan Canyun suddenly raised the spear in his hand... With a swing of his arm, the tail of the spear in his hand made a sound of breaking through the air and swung towards Lady Disaster beside him.
The attack was too sudden. By the time Lady Disaster reacted, the rum in her hand had been instantly shattered by the handle of the gun. Even though Lady Disaster used her arm to block Juan Canyun's attack, she was still knocked to the ground three meters away by the butt of Juan Canyun's gun.
"Hello!"
But when Lady Disaster reacted and wanted to shout something to Juan Canyun...the wall that she and Juan Canyun were leaning against suddenly collapsed.
Lady Disaster could only stare with wide eyes as a huge dragon smashed the wall, opened its bloody mouth and swallowed up the remnant clouds in one gulp.
"Although I know these guys can be resurrected after death! But you, a lizard, still have to die!"
Seeing this scene, Lady Disaster took out the musket in her hand, pulled the trigger, and shot the dragon in the eye. The dragon roared, and the holy spirits who were resting and chatting here before went directly into combat state at this moment.
