Jiang Qiao had roughly heard about Mr. Yin's plan, but this was not something Jiang Qiao needed to interfere with.
What he has to do now is to complete the update of the level 65 version and edit the corresponding update CG.
A new level cap will inevitably bring about a lot of new things, such as new equipment, new dungeons, new systems, and new mechanisms.
But Jiang Qiao is not so anxious about this version update. The two major projects, Holy Spirit City and Road to Ascension, are enough for players to play from level 65 to level 70.
What Jiang Qiao has to do is daily updates, new equipment, new costumes in the game mall, as well as the improvement of some other game systems and the issuance of additional game qualifications.
The fragments of the divinity provided by the sharpshooter Alma to Jiang Qiao also provided Jiang Qiao with 300,000 new game qualifications, but as for the subsequent update content... Jiang Qiao still needs to update it according to the current situation.
And now Jiangqiao is working on upgrading its own server...Hai Lan.
"How many fragments of your godhood did you lose?"
There are five fragments of the Godhead floating in Jiang Qiao's hands, two of which are in a dim state without divine power. Holy Spirit has been launched for a year and a half, and the map of the game system has expanded more than ten times compared to when it was first launched.
Hai Lan's five fragments of the divine power can now be pieced together into the shape of one quarter of a sphere.
"And... twenty-five, thirty?" Hai Lan counted on her fingers, her face looking confused.
Jiang Qiao wordlessly placed his hand on Hai Lan's head... and then said, "Sit down."
"What?" Hai Lan looked up at Jiang Qiao's hand on her forehead and asked.
"Just listen first... just sit down."
Jiang Qiao's hand slid directly onto Hai Lan's shoulder, and his other hand also rested on Hai Lan's other shoulder, pressing her down on the sofa.
After Hai Lan lost her balance and fell on the sofa, Jiang Qiao placed his fingertips directly on her forehead. The Creator Mode was also activated at this moment. Jiang Qiao's pupils turned golden and he began to retrieve the memories stored in Hai Lan's three fragments of the divine power.
The fragments of the godhead are also the fragments of the world that Hai Lan created in the past.
The things contained in each fragment of the godhead are different. It may be a lost national royal city like Queen Mei, or it may be some legendary landform.
In short, the areas that can become part of the fragments of the divine nature can definitely be called well-known areas when the world is still complete, and are the common memories imprinted in the minds of countless creatures in that world.
Jiang Qiao was searching for this memory. The content of the memory was very huge. The three complete fragments of the divine nature gave Jiang Qiao enough intelligence details.
First of all, the world of the God Eater of the past was an extraordinary civilization, and the level of civilization was equivalent to the Middle Ages. They did not rely on technology, but on the characteristics of the God Eater of the race to run rampant on the star map, a bit like the current Annihilation Legion.
Any plane that is targeted cannot escape the fate of being devoured by the previous God of Devouring. Among the many countries in this civilization, Queen May's country is considered a relatively mild country.
But after the fall of the God of Devouring Gods, no one and no country in that world could escape the fate of being destroyed.
“Are there no subordinate gods?”
The light golden color in Jiang Qiao's pupils gradually faded. In the memory of the fragment of the divine nature, Jiang Qiao saw that the Hai Lan of the past was really very different from the present.
The previous God Eater gave Jiang Qiao the impression of being a cold-blooded queen without any emotions, but this one...
"I don't think I had any subordinate gods in the past. Those gods would seem to be scared away when they see me." Hai Lan said as she rubbed the part of her forehead that was pressed red by Jiang Qiao.
"But now we need the power of those wild gods to repair these two fragments of the godhood."
In Jiang Qiao's left hand, there were three fragments of the divine power floating, which were shining with light blue divine power, and in the other hand, there were two extremely dim fragments of the divine power floating.
The fragments of the divine power are the absolute hard and fast standard for improving the strength of all the holy spirits. Among the two fragments of the divine power that the divine spear Alma gave to Jiang Qiao, the intact fragment of the divine power does not contain any living creature, but has a very special altar-like architectural relic.
Jiang Qiao searched Hai Lan's memory but couldn't find out what the relic was used for. But now, compared to the relic, Jiang Qiao was more concerned about the recruitment of wild gods.
There are a total of forty-four gods registered in the Holy Spirit City, and only three of them are permanent gods, the God of Lakes, the God of Casting, and the Goddess of Beauty. These three gods can be said to be Hai Lan's "subordinate gods", and they are all gods who have signed a contract to sell themselves to Hai Lan.
Jiang Qiao can find their specific information in the system book. The other gods only choose to stay in the Holy Spirit City because the Holy Spirit can give them a large amount of divine power crystals.
But it is still not enough. Jiang Qiao needs to capture, abduct, kidnap or use any other means to trick another 156 gods to settle in Holy Spirit City. They must be at least high-ranking gods so that he can use these two fragments of the godhead that have lost their power.
Currently, Jiang Qiao can learn from the God Spear Alma that there are many wild gods in the Sanctuary of Order, but they all serve the Sanctuary of Order, and the living conditions in the Sanctuary of Order are far superior to those in the Holy Spirit City.
Even the unique entertainment and food of Blue Star only make visitors feel novel and interesting. It is like a city which is good for tourism but settling down is another matter.
Therefore, Jiang Qiao now lacks a means to poach the gods living in the Sanctuary of Creation and bring them to the Holy Spirit City.
This is what Jiang Qiao needs to consider in the new version.
The invasion of the Sanctuary of Creation has been delayed. The qualifications of rulers that Zhao Mingwei, Hei Guo Zhu Rou and Caramel have fought for have given Jiang Qiao the capital to negotiate with the Sanctuary of Creation, but it is just a talk.
The most important thing now is to increase the level cap and the number of people on the server.
When Jiang Qiao was thinking about whether to find a way to go to the Sanctuary of Order for a looting mission, the Black Ash Knight sent a message to Jiang Qiao saying "I may have a solution".
Jiang Qiao told Queen May and the Five Knights about his current distress and the troubles facing Holy Spirit City, including the Black Embers Knight.
As the only knight among Queen May's knights who had served as a mercenary in the Sanctuary of Creation, the Black Ash Knight may know more information than anyone else present.
"Would you like to come together?" Jiang Qiao opened the portal leading to the dungeon lord's dormitory and asked Hai Lan who had just fixed her hair.
Hai Lan said nothing and turned into a ghost and followed Jiang Qiao.
In the dungeon lord's dormitory, the Black Ash Knight turned back into that black coal ball again. He ate a pancake while waiting for Jiang Qiao's arrival.
What Jiang Qiao was concerned about was that the mistress of Kuroshio Island was standing next to the Black Embers Knight. She had a certain relationship with the Black Embers Knight, but... it was not a very good relationship.
"Agent, have you ever heard why there are so many gods in the Sanctuary of Order?" The Black Ash Knight said directly after seeing Jiang Qiao.
"Because they produce mother crystals and divine power crystals?"
If Jiang Qiao remembered correctly, the natural disaster corresponding to the Order Sanctuary was the Chaos Island. The Chaos Island was the race of Brand Island and Kuroshio Island. The creatures on the island had high-intensity energy essence condensed in their bodies... the mother crystal.
"No, on the contrary they collect the crystals of divine power from the gods who visit them, and in exchange they will give those gods another thing."
As the Black Cinder Knight spoke, he suddenly reached his little hand into his spherical body, and then tore out a heart-shaped ball of light emitting pink light from his body.
Thought value.
Jiang Qiao knew what this thing was. It was an item that the Holy Spirits would collect on a daily basis, and it was also the rarest currency in the game, the Mind Points.
This item can only be obtained by pleasing NPCs.
"Mindfulness value?" Jiang Qiao didn't quite understand how the Black Ash Knight separated his mindfulness value. According to Jiang Qiao's setting, mindfulness value should only be secreted when the NPC feels happy.
"Yes, these are the emotions I felt when I was eating pancakes. When this mistress transformed me, she gave me the ability to detach myself from my emotions." The Black Cinder Knight said as he glanced at the silent mistress, then he threw the little heart in his hand to Jiang Qiao.
"You mean the Order Sanctuary used this thing to exchange divine power crystals with gods from all over the star map, and let them join the Order Sanctuary?"
No matter how Jiang Qiao looked at this little heart, he felt there was no difference.
"It's almost the same concept. The natural disaster that the Order Sanctuary is responsible for is Chaos. The Chaos Island has the ability to replicate living beings, including emotions, consciousness, and some deeper things. As far as I know, the Order Sanctuary has kept three Chaos Islands in captivity to produce something similar to the Mind Value, but it is much more powerful than the Mind Value."
When the Black Cinder Knight said the word "captive", the mistress's expression was not happy. After all, she was Chaos itself, and she was not happy to hear that her own people were raised like livestock by the Sanctuary of Creation.
But if Jiang Qiao thought about it carefully, the Chaos Island might be the weakest natural disaster on the star map. Their only fighting power might be the Spell Thieves following them and the dangerous Crystal Plague.
However, the crystallized plague does not seem to be a problem for the Sanctuary of Creation, but it is a terrible disaster for those planes of the Alliance of Gods.
"Then what? What use does God have with these points?"
Jiang Qiao originally established the mind value system in order to occupy Brand Island, but now the existence of the mind value system has become a pure way of playing.
"To please one's own believers." The Black Ash Knight continued to tell Jiang Qiao some unknown things. "The competition among the gods is very cruel. The cruelty lies in the competition for believers. Some gods will use various means to increase their own believers. Giving believers power is the most basic, but this method is very stupid. It is so stupid that it will disperse the power of the gods themselves."
Jiang Qiao had also heard of this. The class concept among the gods in the City of Gods was very serious. For example, the lowest-level god, the God of Lakes, had only five or six thousand believers, and was basically bullied by other higher-level gods.
That's why she would look for other ways to rely on the Holy Spirit in exchange for divine power crystals, which is the most direct way to increase her own strength.
But the reason why God is powerful is that there are enough believers who believe in him.
"This kind of heart that stores a lot of positive emotions is the best way to attract believers." The Black Cinder Knight said as he pulled out another little heart from his body. "Those gods who serve the Order Sanctuary can get one or two powerful little hearts regularly? It should be described this way. This little heart can make his believers feel satisfied, happy, and happy for a short period of time, and this is exactly what the believers want."
Jiang Qiao roughly understood the operating mode of the Order Sanctuary and... the role of Xiao Xin in God.
The reason believers believe in a god is nothing more than wanting a spiritual sustenance. The need for power may also be a reason, but satisfying believers spiritually is undoubtedly a better means.
The Sanctuary of Order draws on the emotions of the Chaos Island that it has kept in captivity, and turns them into things like potions or elixirs to give to the gods.
"Can't those gods use some kind of spiritual magic or hypnosis to make their believers happy?" Jiang Qiao asked.
"The power of God is not omnipotent. Perhaps some powerful higher gods have a lot of power, but..."
"Well, needless to say, I know there is such a poor little fellow as the God of the Lake."
Jiang Qiao pinched the second little heart thrown by the Black Cinder Knight, and felt that the amount of "emotions" stored in this little heart was a bit scary, probably dozens of times more than the NPCs on Brand Island.
"You are so happy just eating a pancake?" Jiang Qiao was instantly shocked. If the emotions in this little heart were manifested in an ordinary person, that ordinary person would probably have fainted from laughing.
"I think this is because Black Cinder is a part of your godhood." The mistress finally spoke at this time. "Your God Devourer has devoured the souls and existence of countless creatures. This is also the reason why our Spell Thieves cannot steal some of your overly negative skills."
Jiang Qiao recalled the first time he met Deng Xis, several of his apprentices copied Devil May Cry's skills and suddenly died.
"Let me sort out your thoughts. What you mean is... let the Holy Spirits also install a little heart system? And then use their little hearts to recruit those lower gods who don't have many believers?" Jiang Qiao roughly guessed what the Black Ash Knight's plan was.
"The number of residents on the three Chaos Islands kept in captivity by the Sanctuary of Order is in the tens of millions. All of these residents live in a wonderful fantasy created by the Sanctuary of Order. They are the 'raw materials' used by the Sanctuary of Order to produce 'goods'. Our Holy Spirit may also be able to produce similar goods."
"It's an interesting idea, but I think it should be possible to put it into practice. Combining kidnapping with bribery using divine crystals should be very effective. I'll plan it out."
Jiang Qiao has probably figured out what should be updated in the level 65 version.
PS: There will be two more chapters later...
