After more than half a month of construction, the Holy Spirit City was finally transformed from a small town into a medium-sized town.
The number of gods resident in the Holy Spirit City has also increased from the God of the Lake provided by the system to ten permanent gods. These ten gods all come from the City of Gods on Kuroshio Island. Familiar faces to players, such as the Goddess of Beauty, the God of Harvest, and the God of Casting, have chosen to settle in the city after being conquered.
The monetary attribute of population also rose to 100,000.
During this more than half month, the Holy Spirit City has been holding various celebrations every day. It's just a pity that no foreign gods are willing to stay in the Holy Spirit City for the time being. The biggest reason is that they are afraid of the God of Devouring God and may come to destroy the Creation Sanctuary of the God of Devouring God's descendants.
But what does this have to do with Mr. Yin
Mr. Yin... was kidnapped by Rosh again.
"Girl, didn't you try it last time? Tying me up is useless."
Mr. Yin sat in the corner of the cave speechlessly. He had just come online and wanted to inspect the construction status of the Holy Spirit City. However, when he came to his senses, Rosh appeared from nowhere, grabbed his collar and threw him into the cave again.
"Quiet."
Luo Shi seemed to be suppressing her anxiety. After losing to Zhao Mingwei, she did not go to Jia Nai to treat herself without paying any more.
So now she has multiple burns from the mind energy on her body...
Failure was the reason why Roche felt anxious. She thought that with her own ability, she had not met anyone on the star map who could beat her in a one-on-one fight, a guy who was 100% better than her at the same level.
Zhao Mingwei couldn't do this either. Luo Shi remembered that she played ten games with Zhao Mingwei, and she won three games... but she lost the most crucial elimination game!
Roche lost the chance to meet Thorne directly, but she didn't intend to give up... In this helpless situation, Roche could only use the method she had planned to use when she first arrived in the Holy Spirit City, torture.
But when Roche tied up Yin Zong in the cave, she found that she couldn't do it...
The first time he kidnapped Yin, it was because in Rosh's eyes he was the descendant of the evil God of Devouring, but after spending more than half a month together, Rosh really couldn't connect the Holy Spirit with the evil natural disaster... In the words of Rosh's team member, these Holy Spirits are simply the source of my happiness recently.
That’s right… the source of happiness. Roche was busy playing the Holy Spirit Challenge so she didn’t pay much attention to it, but her teammates were already having a great time in the Holy Spirit City and of course were also collecting intelligence for Roche.
And Roche also obtained the most crucial information to meet Thorne, which is the other world!
"Open the door to the other world!" Roche tentatively expressed her request. She was still thinking about communicating with President Yin.
"The other world... the target you are hunting down, Thorn, is indeed in there, but whether you can go to the other world is not something I can decide."
Although President Yin let Rosh and Rosh's team settle down in his base, it does not mean that President Yin completely trusts them... In the minds of most players, the other world may just be a... game map modeled after the real world.
But Mr. Yin has already understood from Deng Xis's description that the other world is not as simple as a game map.
As an Eternal, Rosh is a potential enemy of the Holy Spirits!
"I have sworn in the name of the God Eater that I went to the other world only to capture the dangerous wanted criminal Thorne!" Roche showed President Yin the mark of the God Eater on the back of his hand.
She risked everything to participate in the Holy Spirit Challenge, and it could even be said that she risked everything to arrest Thorne.
"Actually, I'm not the president of Leaping Atomic, and I don't have the authority to open the portal to the other world." At this time, President Yin decisively chose to play dumb.
"You..." Roche's composure finally failed to maintain at this moment.
But when she wanted to do something... there was a sound of someone stepping into the cave entrance. Roche instantly turned into stealth mode, but part of her living armor was destroyed by Zhao Mingwei.
Rosh's invisible state lasted for less than two seconds before an error occurred. Her figure reappeared in the cave, and Rosh's nerves instantly tensed up.
Her injuries have not healed yet, and now encountering a hostile Holy Spirit will make her injuries worse... Judging from the shadows reflected on the cave walls, the one who walked into the cave is a powerful beast.
Roche was ready to shoot at any time, but when she actually saw the figure walking into the cave, her hand on the trigger bounced away.
One of her life principles is to never kill innocent people. This principle also prohibits shooting the elderly and young children. This principle is difficult to follow on a star map full of dangers, and it is also difficult to draw a clear line for the elderly.
Because some of the Void Zerg that Rosh often hunts are almost a thousand years old.
But there was indeed an old lady standing at the entrance of the cave.
"It turns out that someone has already found this place." Lihua and Ju walked in with the heavy shotgun in their hands and their Dragon Vein Sabre-toothed Tiger Qiuqiu. At first sight, they saw Mr. Yin who was tied up with a rope.
"Mr. Lu? These video game characters all wear strange clothes, but you rarely change your clothes, Mr. Lu. Who is this child?" asked Granny Tabby.
"My...friend." Mr. Yin replied.
"A friend who's surfing the Internet with you? Hey, little girl, make way." The old lady didn't care much about the intrigues in the game. She came here to collect a very rare crystal in the cave, which happened to be under Roche's feet.
"oh… "
Roche, who had been so cautious before, now stood aside in a daze, like a primary school student who was called by the teacher.
Granny Tabby took out a small draft and started knocking on the crystal at Rosh's feet, but the old lady's mining level was obviously not high enough. She knocked for a long time and finally knocked out a piece, but the crystal turned into mist and dissipated as soon as it left the ground.
"This is where the game is bad." She complained while continuing to knock on crystals in other places. Rosh and Yin Zong looked at each other and could see the embarrassment in each other's eyes.
Finally, the somewhat anxious Rosh couldn't help it after seeing Granny Tabby break the fifth crystal.
"That's the Fire Crystal, ma'am." Roche put away the gun in his hand, walked to the side of Granny Tabby and motioned for her to give him her small pickaxe.
Granny Tabby didn't have any sense of caution and gave this worthless pickaxe to Rosh. Rosh tapped it lightly... but the deep red crystal still seemed to be dissipating.
Roche hesitated for a while, but still used a power that she...rarely used in her life, the authority of the God of Scorching Flame.
A small flame emerged from Roche's fingertips and seeped into the crystal. After the flame began to burn slowly inside the crystal, Roche dug out the crystal.
"Little girl, how did you do it? Is it because of your proficiency in the game?" The old lady seemed very happy. Fire Crystal is a crystal that only a few players can grow without relying on mother crystal.
This kind of crystal is very fragile. Once it leaves the earth vein, it will quickly shatter into dust and dissipate. Therefore, there are not many reserves of Leaping Nuclei. But for some reason, Granny Lihua is thinking about this kind of... crystal that has never appeared in the real world.
"It requires some special collection methods. How much more do you want?"
Roche's actual age is actually almost a hundred years old, but her mental age is only twenty-one. There is a distinction between actual age and natural age on the star map.
This is a very common concept in interstellar travel. People in some civilizations will sleep in hibernation capsules in order to prolong their lives. Rosh's mother is the God of Fire, and it takes hundreds of years for a god to give birth to his own offspring.
So... this doesn't stop Luoshi from calling Lihua Daiju grandma.
"Five or six, maybe? And little girl, how come your hand is burned?" Granny Lihua was very observant and noticed the burn marks on the back of Roshi's hand.
This is the scar caused by Zhao Mingwei's mental energy...
"It's okay." Luo Shi pulled her hand back as if she had been electrocuted, but Granny Lihua still grabbed her burned hand.
"How can this be alright? A girl's hands are as important as her face. Eh... I thought this was in a game? Oh, I need treatment too."
The game of Holy Spirit is too real. It’s okay for young people, but although this old lady keeps reminding herself that she is in a game, she often treats it as reality.
Just like now... She took out some homemade burn herbs from her backpack.
"There are so many strange things on this island, but there are still some herbs and minerals that I know. This thing can cure burns. Applying it will make you feel much better."
Granny Lihua has learned some of all life professions, and she seems to know something about Chinese medicine as well. Mr. Yin used a reconnaissance technique and threw it on the herbal ointment that Granny Lihua took out, and it really cured the burning condition.
“This…” Roche wanted to pull her hand back, because the burns caused by the God Eater were different from ordinary burns, but she forgot… this was Chinese medicine blended by the Holy Spirit.
A cold touch overflowed from the back of Roche's hand, and Roche finally gave up the action of pulling her hand back.
But suddenly a sharp breath appeared outside the cave, and Roche sensed it in an instant... This breath belonged to the Holy Spirit who left these wounds on her body!
"What's wrong?" Granny Tabby also noticed the changes on Rosh's face.
"Maybe someone is here to find me, to fight me... Ma'am, you can hide first."
Roche's intuition told her that Zhao Mingwei might not have found this place by relying on any tracking or positioning techniques, and one of her team members was in Zhao Mingwei's hands.
"Fighting? I've never fought with anyone in this game before. It's okay, little girl, I'm on your side this time!"
Granny Tabby seemed a little excited when she heard someone coming to cause trouble. Before Roche could dissuade her, she walked out of the cave with her Dragon Vein Sabre-toothed Tiger Qiuqiu.
"Wait!" Roche looked at the old lady's back and could only helplessly look at Mr. Yin who had an innocent expression on his face.
"Mr. Xiao is not a member of our guild. Alas... it would be better if he was a member of our guild." Mr. Yin also felt uncomfortable as he spoke.
