After being defeated, Huzel hid in Kuroshio Island. This is the only information Jiang Qiao can get at present. Half of Kuroshio Island is still under the control of another group of Spell Thieves and a small part of the Annihilation Legion.
Jiang Qiao has issued an official mission in the name of Queen May to track down Huzel's whereabouts. Most players choose to take on this mission when exploring Kuroshio Island.
The Plane Pirate Camp was also cooperating with Jiang Qiao to search for Huzel's traces on the field. It was a pity that Huzel did not encounter Lady Disaster or Drake in the Holy Spirit Challenge.
So there were no hunting marks of the pirates on Huzel.
However, what Jiang Qiao really needs to deal with now is Rosh's obsession. Rosh is now in the base of Leaping Nuclear, and President Yin has been released by her.
The fluffy rabbit in the Leaping Nucleus is explaining to Granny Tabby that Rosh is not a real person, but a game NPC, a computer program.
Granny Lihua didn't quite understand why computer programs couldn't attend the exchange meeting. From her perspective, intelligent AI in modern society already has the initial ability to think for itself.
The behaviors of some NPCs in Lionheart City in Holy Spirit even became her research object for a time, so the old lady did not think there was anything wrong with Roche participating in the holographic projection exchange.
Rosh was still confronting Mr. Yin, while Jiang Qiao was standing not far away as a bystander, providing Mr. Yin with some system-based dialogue options.
"I learned from Ms. Lihua that the other world is a very important line of defense for you. I know you can't completely trust us." Roche finally had no choice but to sit down and reason with President Yin.
"You finally found the key to the problem..." President Yin glanced at the team members behind him.
These team members have already put on some peripheral props produced by the Holy Spirit, which are actually fashions. Over the past half month, their attire has become as fancy as that of the Holy Spirit.
But there was only Rosh... She had been wearing a living armor for combat since she came to the Holy Spirit City. At the same time, Rosh's engineer teammate kept suggesting to Rosh to ask for support... This made President Yin realize that these guys should have the ability to build a long-distance portal.
If this portal was built on Brand Island, the Holy Spirits would have time to destroy it, but if they built the portal in the other world, the consequences would be disastrous if something went wrong.
"So when I go to your inner world, I won't bring any weapons." Roche thought for a moment and made a decision that surprised the team members behind him.
"team leader?"
When the team members wanted to say something, the living armor on Rosh suddenly peeled off her body, just like a beetle breaking out of its shell and being reborn.
The dark purple armor eventually turned into a tiny Rubik's Cube and gathered in Rosh's hand. Rosh then took off the armor.
At the same time, he threw the dark purple Rubik's Cube to his engineer teammate.
"Take it and keep it safe." Roche said.
"Captain...how are you going to capture that dangerous wanted criminal without the protection of your armor?"
The team members were extremely worried. When Roche was wearing the living armor, his health was exactly 150,000 points, but after taking off the armor, his upper limit of health quickly dropped to only 5,000 points.
Five thousand health points! Even the most fragile profession in the Holy Spirit has a basic health value of more than ten thousand after reaching the maximum level.
Any Holy Spirit could kill Rosh in seconds with her fragile little body.
"Your team members are right." Yin Zong politely avoided Rosh, who was now in her underwear, and at the same time found a piece of clothing originally worn by Freya in his backpack and threw it to her. "The character of Thorn...even Xiao Ye, who defeated you, can't defeat him. If you go to see Thorn like this, isn't it...a waste of time?"
"I…"
Roche caught the clothes that Mr. Yin threw to her. Maybe Roche couldn't see... but when she caught the clothes, about ten little hearts popped out of her body.
The mark of the God Eater on the back of her hand lit up white, and a pop-up window appeared in her sight.
This pop-up window asked Rosh whether she wanted to wear Freya's shelter suit. After Rosh clicked yes, she was dressed in a light gray nun's uniform.
But putting on this dress still didn't increase Rosh's health much, it just added another layer of paper on top of another layer of paper.
"Thank you for taking care of us all the time, Holy Spirit... I just need to see Thorne, and the rest of the arrest work is left to me. I don't need to conflict with Thorne." Roche said.
"Do you have a secret to defeat Thorne with one click?" This was said by the mother who was watching nearby.
"I'm sorry, I can't reveal that." Roche responded.
When Roche said this... Mr. Yin noticed that the team members behind Roche were also very confused. Confusion and worry repeatedly appeared in the eyes of Roche's teammates.
Maybe they didn't know how their captain... arrested Thorne, who might be the most vicious criminal on the star map, without any weapons.
"Boss Yin...are you doing some mission that can secretly defeat Thorne? Just let the key NPC Rosh enter the other world." Mom said to Boss Yin in a low voice.
They could all see the dialog box between Rosh and Yin, so everyone in Leaping Nuclear thought that Yin had triggered some hidden task on Rosh, or a hidden task of favorability
This hidden mission is also related to defeating Thorn! No wonder Thorn is so hard to defeat! It turns out that they can still find the key props to defeat Thorn.
Mr. Yin did not answer his mother's question about the barking dog. His eyes fell on the dialog box with Roche. Among the four options in the dialog box, one of them was to agree to Roche's entry into the other world.
Jiang Qiao could sense that after Roche took off her armor, she no longer had any equipment to communicate with the Sanctuary of Creation, let alone build a portal to the other world.
She is now just an extremely agile female NPC...
"I can agree to let you enter the other world, but the condition is that it's only you." Mr. Yin responded according to the options in the dialog box.
“No! Holy Spirit, we believe that you are somewhat different from the evil natural disaster in the rumors, but the threat you pose to us still exists. The captain went to the world where you live alone. This... we absolutely cannot accept!”
Although Rosh's team members have been fishing for more than half a month, they are still concerned about their captain. Now Rosh is like a little lamb, a little lamb going to a world inhabited by a group of dragons.
Even though the dragon swore not to harm the lamb, the team members were still worried about the safety of their captain.
"I think... we will protect her." Mr. Yin saw a new task pop up in the dialog box, with a brand new task prefix.
"City Diplomacy Mission: The Obsession of Rosh the Eternal.
Mission description: Rosh from the Sanctuary of Creation is willing to do anything to meet Thorn in the other world. She removes all her weapons to express her sincerity, but she is as fragile as a piece of thin paper without any weapons. Her team members already have a great affection for the Holy Spirit City. It seems that only one step is needed to make them settle down in this city, or... establish friendly relations with the Sanctuary of Creation
Mission requirements: Protect Rosh's safety.
Mission rewards: Increased favorability of Roche's team, increased recruitment probability, new city building blueprints..."
This mission was only issued by Jiang Qiao in order to guide President Yin. The purpose of the Holy Spirit Challenge had actually been achieved long ago. If it weren't for the mission, some members of the Eternal Team would really be willing to stay in the Holy Spirit City for a long time, just as if they were on vacation.
Rosh's defenses gradually broke down a lot. At least little hearts began to fall from her body. This was proof that she was gradually being controlled by the Holy Spirit's favorability system.
In the end, Jiang Qiao was still very curious about the relationship between Rosh and Thorne... and when Rosh's teammates wanted to persuade their captain to say something, a rare guest arrived at the base of Leaping Nuclear.
This guest was not an NPC, but Feng Yi, the ace player of the King of the World who had rarely appeared since the World Championship.
"Is your boss here?" Feng Yi asked the player of Leaping Nuclear as soon as he entered the room.
"Contestant Feng? Is there...something?"
President Yin and Rosh have reached an agreement. He originally wanted to persuade Rosh's team members to give up their weapons one by one and go on a day trip to the other world, but Feng Yi suddenly came to him, making President Yin smell a scent called opportunity.
"I hope to transfer to Nucleus."
Feng Yi's words were like a depth charge, blowing up all the players who were busy working in the Leaping Nuclear Base.
"This is really an unexpected decision, Coach Song."
President Yin was very welcoming to Feng Yi to his club, but after Mo Shigui came over, he directly opened a private message with President Yin.
"It's true that Feng Yi is one of the top players in China, but his playing style is too unique and it's hard to fit in with our team's style, so I don't recommend you to recruit him." Mo Shigui directly rejected Feng Yi's application for shelter in a cold and ruthless manner.
"But our club has no plans to make any personnel changes in the near future." President Yin hinted to Feng Yi in a more tactful way.
Most of the Leaping Nuclear players who were watching nearby showed more contempt for Feng Yi. Leaping Nuclear won the championship and then he ran to Leaping Nuclear to beg for shelter. Isn't he a traitor
"Thank you. I'll go to Night Rush and ask."
"etc!"
As soon as President Yin heard that Feng Yi was going to look for Night Rush, he immediately stopped him. This was not because President Yin was afraid that Feng Yi joining Night Rush... would pose a threat to the dominance of Leaping Nuclear.
It was because he could tell that Feng Yi's voice was a little strange! Feng Yi's request for Leaping Nuclear to buy him... didn't seem to be for the sake of winning the next World Championship, but more like a conflict with his old club, Junlin Tianxia.
President Yin had told the players of Jun Lin Tian Xia that they could come to him for help if the club put pressure on them. President Yin now felt that it might be the time to help Feng Yi.
Because there was a hint of crying in the kid's tone, it didn't sound like an ordinary conflict at all.
