Jiang Qiao sat in the audience seats of the World Stadium in Upper City, next to Hai Lan who was drinking Coke with popcorn.
In the center of the gymnasium is a dark castle, which has been destroyed by the spell thieves captured by the players.
But the price paid by the spell thieves to break out of the castle was very heavy. After the spell thief named Mads rushed out of the castle, he fell to his knees while looking at the blue sky, and the last thing he did was to shout "Freedom!"
But the Spell Thieves overcame numerous obstacles, and standing before them was the final BOSS of the dungeon, that is, the entire elite strategy team of Leaping Nuclear and some members of Reigning the World, plus a large number of city defense equipment.
"Jiang Qiao, have you ever thought about performing at...some world electronic holographic projection exchange meeting in nine days?"
Hai Lan stuffed a mouthful of popcorn into her mouth. The scene of Leaping Nucleus fighting against the four law thieves was not surprising to her.
But what surprised Jiang Qiao was that the four thieves showed extremely high combat skills. The specific way to describe it is... each of them is the same as Deng Xis, the final boss on Brand Island.
Know that when fighting in a team, kill the healer first. If there is no healer, go after the squishy targets first!
Leaping Atom had also prepared a way to deal with it long ago. This was a battle with the Leaping Atom Strategy Group as the final BOSS. The structure of the entire Upper City Stadium was a bit like a Colosseum.
The nurse and long-range output players were all standing on the wall built by Xiao Yufeather and were very safe.
"I'm still thinking about it."
Jiang Qiao has already asked Tiangong-13 to agree to an official appearance at an electronic holographic projection conference in nine days.
But this holographic projection will be a bit like the film carnivals of major game manufacturers... such as the E3 exhibition and the Cologne Game Show, two world-renowned exhibitions... There will be no game trials, only various CG trailer versions.
However, the most popular and anticipated event at the exhibition is still the Dispute Playoffs Finals, so it is also jokingly called the Dispute Playoffs Finals and other programs on the Internet.
Jiang Qiao had no intention of stealing the spotlight from the dispute, but Leaping Nuclear did... especially President Yin of Leaping Nuclear.
Yinhui... Jiangqiao has been paying attention to him since he entered the game. His ambition may not be as simple as being a Holy Spirit player, he also wants to be a shareholder of Holy Spirit.
In fact, Mr. Yin can be considered a shareholder of Holy Spirit, but he has no say.
As one of the largest investors in the Holy Spirit Fund, Mr. Yin keenly sensed the huge commercial value of the Holy Spirit. What he has to do and is doing now is to expand the commercial value of the Holy Spirit.
This holographic projection game exhibition is undoubtedly a great opportunity!
"How about we also hold a competition for the Holy Spirit Cup?"
Hai Lan has lived in modern society for such a long time, and she doesn't just eat, drink and sleep every day. Now, Hai Lan, like Queen May, has become a girl who, in addition to eating, drinking and sleeping, also watches TV series, e-sports competitions and pays attention to game news from major manufacturers.
So Hai Lan knew...if there really was going to be a performance, what the audience wanted to see most was the showdown between PVP masters.
"Everyone is busy developing Kuroshio Island, and the current situation on Kuroshio Island is disadvantageous to us. Planning a PVP competition at this point in time to let those top players focus on internal fighting? Hailan, aren't you afraid that Brand Island will be swallowed by Kuroshio Island in the end?"
Jiang Qiao also thought about holding a PVP competition, but the current situation on Kuroshio Island does not allow Jiang Qiao to do such a boring thing.
"What about killing the Spell Thieves? But will those Spell Thieves really obey and run here to be killed by the players?"
Hai Lan stopped eating popcorn. She had been sitting in the audience watching since Mads entered the other world. Everything that happened in the castle was projected onto the big screen in the stadium.
The mechanisms designed by Little Feather are really... make people feel numb just by looking at them. Those four thieves can be said to have triggered all the mechanisms perfectly.
The screams and wails could be heard clearly even through the castle.
If it weren't for their thick blood, they would have died seventy or eighty times.
Although they didn’t die, they definitely have some psychological trauma... Hai Lan suspects that next time these law thieves would rather commit suicide than be caught by the Holy Spirit.
“That’s the crux of the matter.”
Jiang Qiao and Mr. Yin had the same idea, that the events performed at the exhibition would be players versus monsters in the game, rather than players versus players.
In the past, the reason why audiences thought PVE competitions were boring was that the attack methods of the bosses in the game were all fixed, and there was not much to watch except for watching the strategy and seeing the team being wiped out.
But the monsters in the Holy Spirit all have their own ideas. Jiang Qiao looked at the chaotic battlefield below. Just four spell thieves have caused a lot of trouble for the Leaping Nuclear's strategy team.
Although Mo Shigui controlled the situation with his own command, most of the players in the strategy group still focused on PVE. Faced with a BOSS who was quick in movement and knew how to kill the nurse first, some PVE masters were really helpless.
However, Leaping Nucleus still managed to defeat four lord-level bosses at once in its home turf, although it was very difficult. After three hours, there were only two spell thieves left on the battlefield with a sliver of health left.
"Anyway... let's try to communicate with the Spell Thief on Kuroshio Island first."
The relationship between enemies and allies is not eternal. As long as the interests are consistent, enemies can become friends. Jiang Qiao does not think that players can be close friends with the thieves of the Black Tide Island. After all, taking away Freya's memory is unforgivable.
But there should be no problem if they stand arm in arm and slash at each other, right
You want to kill me and I want to kill you too. So let's stop hiding and find a place to kill each other together. Wouldn't it be better
This time, the battle against the Leaping Nuclear Spell Thief is coming to an end. The Spell Thief named Wen Enna has been forced into a desperate situation by... the Leaping Nuclear's foreign aid, the final BOSS of the dungeon, Zhao Mingwei.
She only had the last 2,000 points of health left, and the worst thing was that she had a lot of negative conditions, such as bleeding, poisoning, and curse.
These negative conditions caused her health to decrease rapidly... In less than half a minute, her life would come to an end under the negative conditions.
"Why...why don't you kill me?"
Wen Enna knelt on the ground, covering the wound on her abdomen. It was difficult for her to even stand up, but the attacks of Zhao Mingwei and the members of Leaping Nuclear stopped at this moment.
Zhao Mingwei did not answer Wen Enna. He half-knelt down in front of Wen Enna who was lying on the ground... and took out a bottle of Freya's Love Healing Potion and a bottle of Freya's Caring Potion from his backpack.
These two bottles are special medicines exchanged at the Heart Store. One bottle restores HP, and the other can dispel negative effects.
Zhao Mingwei poured Freya's love healing potion on Wen Enna's wound.
Wen Enna's body contained the power of the God Eater. Although it was not much, it made the healing potion work, and the wounds on her body began to slowly heal.
"I don't need your pity! Descendant of the God-Eating God!"
Wen Enna reached out her hand and tried to knock away the other bottle of medicine in Zhao Mingwei's hand, but Zhao Mingwei grabbed her arm that was waving towards him first.
Without saying a word, Zhao Mingwei poured another bottle of Freya's caring potion on Wen Enna's face.
Zhao Mingwei's expression and eyes revealed a feeling of neither joy nor sadness. When he looked at Wen Enna, it felt like he was not looking at a beautiful NPC, but more like looking at a moss-covered stone statue.
All he had to do was wash the moss off the stone statue.
All this was because Zhao Mingwei's focus was not on Wen Enna at all. He was looking at the hidden task that had just popped up.
"Hidden Mission: Clues to the Island Lord
Mission description: It seems that someone in your guild holds something that these spell thieves want to take back. This thing has no value to your guild, and perhaps you can use it to find these spell thieves in exchange for a more useful reward.
Mission requirements: Get 'Spellthief Winna' back to the Molten Black Ruins safely.
mission rewards:?"
What the Spell Thief wanted to take back? People from our guild? Zhao Mingwei didn't give up on this quest because as a player, triggering a hidden quest and not completing it is as uncomfortable as not being able to sneeze.
On the other hand, Zhao Mingwei initially sympathized with these spell thieves, but after learning that the spell thieves could be resurrected after being killed, this sympathy disappeared... and he became a ruthless monster-killing machine.
But now he is a ruthless task-doing machine.
"Master Xiao! Stop exuding your charm! She is a lord monster! This hidden mission is obviously a trap, okay?"
As a member of the Nameless Guild, Lin Xi of course also received the hint of this hidden mission.
"What hidden mission?"
Mo Shigui executed Mads at this time, and under his threat of "You won't be so lucky next time! Holy Spirit!", he regained some of Freya's memory that he had taken away.
The only BOSS left on the battlefield is this Wen Na Eun, but how can I put it… Zhao Mingwei’s character’s charm is only 32 points. How can he make all female NPCs become friendly? By! What!
Wen Naen's current status has really turned into a friendly force, which is why all members of Leaping Nuclear have ceased fire. If Wen Naen was judged to be an enemy, a red-named monster, she would have been bombed by countless skills where she was lying.
"It's a bit like the main quest of the Spell Thief camp. I've already posted it on the team channel." While Zhao Mingwei was speaking, detailed information about the quest already appeared in the team channel.
Mo Shigui's reaction after reading it was that he should let Zhao Mingwei complete this hidden task.
Because he owed Zhao Mingwei many favors, including the incident with the Flame Dragon before, as a friend he also had to help Zhao Mingwei.
But the people fighting this BOSS are not only him and Zhao Mingwei, but also all the members of Leaping Nuclear. Most importantly...
"Mingwei... You should know the death penalty for being killed by the Spell Thief on Kuroshio Island. There are many people in our guild who want this NPC's head." Mo Shigui said helplessly, "I don't know when we can catch her next time..."
"Then... let me give it to you first?"
Zhao Mingwei was also killed twice by Wen Enna. Maybe Zhao Mingwei could spare this spell thief, but other players of Leaping Nuclear would not forgive her.
Zhao Mingwei knew that he was not qualified to help others forgive this law thief.
"Wait a minute! Wait a minute!" At this time, Mr. Yin jumped out from somewhere.
"..." This scene made Mo Shigui's brows almost twisted into a rag.
But as she spoke, a pure white light suddenly burst out from Wen Enna's chest, accompanied by Wen Enna's painful voice... The divine power of the God of Devouring God that she absorbed from the Holy Spirit turned into a ball of light and returned to the original Holy Spirit.
"The memories stolen by the Law Thief, Winna, have been recovered."
"The Abyssal Plague has been cured."
These two prompts suddenly popped up in front of Mo Shigui.
"Um... Coach Song... can we do this task now?" Mr. Yin rubbed his hands and asked Mo Shigui in a humble tone.
You are the boss of Leaping Nuclear! Where is your horse
The reason why Mo Shigui had a headache was that when President Yin had previously said that the law thief should not be killed, he really had no way to make a decision. But now the memories that were taken away by Wen Enna have been retrieved.
Mo Shigui had no choice but to nod, and all the members of Leaping Nuclear also said that there was no problem.
"Open a portal to the Molten Ruins." Mo Shigui said to a summoner in the guild.
"Get up, you can go now." Zhao Mingwei helped Wen Enna up from the ground.
She doesn't even have the strength to walk now.
“…Why save me?” Wen Enna’s eardrum was broken, and she didn’t hear what Zhao Mingwei said at all.
She could only see through her blurry vision what Zhao Mingwei and Mo Shigui, the president of the Leaping Nuclear Guild, were confronting each other about.
From Wen Enna's perspective, Zhao Mingwei was alone in stopping all the members of Leaping Nuclear from killing her!
Why? Is it true, as Deng Xisi said, that there are some people in the Holy Spirit who are so kind that they are hopeless
Zhao Mingwei did not answer Wen Enna's question. His eyes were always fixed on the front, with great determination.
In fact, Zhao Mingwei was asking Jiang Qiao about who in the guild had obtained something incredible...
"Answer me! This kind of pity is a humiliation to me." Wen Enna seemed to think that Zhao Mingwei was deliberately avoiding the question.
Finally, Zhao Mingwei helped Wen Enna walk to the portal opened by the summoner.
"Even if you save me, I will never surrender to you!" Wen Enna warned Zhao Mingwei in a cold voice.
She might be the one who hates the Descendant of God Eater the most among the Spell Thieves. Her parents were killed by the Descendant of God Eater, so the mercy of the Descendant of God Eater is enough to... give her a heart attack.
Now she would rather be killed by Zhao Mingwei than be captured by this group of holy spirits.
No... not prisoners.
Wen Enna could vaguely see the molten black ruins behind her through the portal.
Wait...didn't this group of Holy Spirits save her in order to persuade her to join the Holy Spirit's camp
Let her go back now
"You will regret your stupid behavior. I will still kill you the next time I see you!" Wen Enna shouted at Zhao Mingwei somewhat out of control.
"If you can do it, try it."
Zhao Mingwei finally responded to Wen Enna once, but when Wen Enna was about to shout something, Zhao Mingwei suddenly grabbed her collar and threw her into the portal with a beautiful back throw.
Wen Enna didn't have time to finish her harsh words before she experienced the thrill of weightlessness. The last scene in her sight was Zhao Mingwei waving at her.
"Xiao... Master Xiao, will this back throw of yours kill her instantly?" Lin Xi looked at Wen Enna who flew into the portal at the speed of a cannon, and asked... worriedly.
"No, I throw very accurately." said Zhao Mingwei.
"This has nothing to do with throwing accurately! Her health is only 600 points left! With your back throw and field damage, what if the damage is more than 600 points!" Lin Xi said as he wanted to run into the portal to check on Wen Enna's condition.
"Believe in the skills of professional players." Zhao Mingwei added.
"I'm a professional player too! But you can't control the damage of your basic attack."
"I can."
"… "
Jiang Qiao listened to the conversation between Lin Xi and Zhao Mingwei and did not want to express any opinion. Instead, he looked at Mr. Yin who was planning something.
This was the first time the Holy Spirit had collaborated with shareholders on an activity, and Jiang Qiao could only hope that it went smoothly.
PS: There should be another chapter at 7 or 8 o'clock...
