A group of lions on a high cliff.
This is the leveling site for the Holy Spirit to level 35. The monsters are a group of two-meter-long giant lions as the name of the map suggests.
Wanxiang is following her sister to form a team here to train new players to level up.
This time, 300,000 qualifications for the Holy Spirit were released, allowing a friend of Wanxiang's self-taught high school to obtain the qualification, and a classmate in Wanxiang's university also obtained the test qualification.
So the self-proclaimed senior math student who likes to socialize and stir up trouble spontaneously formed a communication team for newbies. Relying on his status as a level 65 boss, he started to form a team of about ten newbies to show off.
"Xiao Wan... who have you been staring at since just now?"
Zihang Gaoshu was diligently leading the newbies to level up, but Wanxiang was a little absent-minded. Now Wanxiang was sitting on the edge of the cliff of the Lions, holding her own Death Elegy and staring at something in the distance.
Wanxiang didn't answer her sister until the self-study teacher shook her sight with his hand. Then she looked up. After looking at her sister, she focused her attention on the sight in her hand again.
Although she was used to her sister ignoring her, she was still very curious about what Wanxiang had been concerned about since she started leveling up yesterday until noon today.
The upgrade speed of the Holy Spirit game is relatively slow among online games. Reaching level 35 in one day is considered average. Although Wanxiang agreed to train new players with her, she has been holding her sniper rifle and staring at places outside the leveling map since yesterday.
For this purpose, he even bought a high-magnification telescope from an auction house.
"Let me see..." He picked up the telescope and looked down towards the bottom of the Lionheart Cliff. Below the Lionheart Cliff was the Hunter Plains, a level 38 to 40 map with many types of enemies. The extraordinary versions of all creatures on the African savannah could be found on this map, and one would even encounter humanoid monsters called poachers.
There are a lot of players leveling up on the plains. After all, the 300,000 test qualifications for the Holy Spirit were just released not long ago, and lively newbies can be seen everywhere in the main map of the Holy Spirit.
After searching the plain for a while, he soon saw a familiar face.
"Isn't that the guild president? Eh... a woman I don't recognize?" The self-proclaimed high-level player recognized Jiang Qiao, the president of his own Nobody's Guild, at a glance. There was a strange female player standing next to Jiang Qiao, who made the self-proclaimed high-level player stick his head out and stare at her.
Her telescope has a built-in sound capture and eavesdropping function. In simple terms, it can hear whatever it can see, so Jiang Qiao seemed to be having a very happy chat with the strange female player.
"Little sister, do you want to hear your analysis based on my years of experience in the love field?" The self-proclaimed high school student instantly turned on the gossip mode, realizing that her sister Wanxiang cared a lot about Jiang Qiao, and who the woman next to Jiang Qiao was.
'. '
Wanxiang didn't say anything. She just typed a short period in the chat window. Zihang Gaoshu knew that this was Wanxiang's signal that she wanted to hear something.
"I'll just say it straight. That girl isn't like us who wants to show off in front of the newbies, so she specially helps the newbies level up. It looks like she has known the master for a long time, and both parties seem to be very familiar with each other? Is it possible that they are living together?" The self-proclaimed senior math expert made a very clear analysis.
As a result, when Wanxiang heard the word "living together", she couldn't help but pull the trigger of the Death Elegy in her hand. With a "POW!" sound, an armor-piercing bullet flew out of the barrel and shot towards the position where Wanxiang was aiming.
The bullet missed the target and did not hit Jiang Qiao or anyone around him, but instead hit the monster that Jiang Qiao was attacking.
But this also successfully attracted Jiang Qiao's attention. When Jiang Qiao looked towards the Lionheart Cliff, Wanxiang had successfully lay down and entered invisible state.
"Why are you hiding!" While the man who was studying mathematics was making a fuss, Wanxiang, who was lying on the ground, grabbed her sister's ankle and pulled her hard, forcing her to fall to the ground. At the same time, she put an invisible tactical camouflage cloak on her sister.
On the other side, Jiang Qiao looked at the bloodthirsty coyote that was shot dead by someone unknown, and scratched his cheek in embarrassment.
"Grab the monster? Someone finally comes out to grab the monster? Who? Who? Who?"
Hai Lan was completely excited, because she didn't seem to be very interested in this kind of monster spawning, because these monsters were created by her using her own creative energy.
Perhaps only by going to Brand Island and Kuroshio Island to kill monsters can her interest be aroused.
But what Jiang Qiao appreciated was that Hai Lan did not try to quickly level up, but instead leveled up little by little like other players.
Hai Lan is now level 40, and her occupation has been changed in a somewhat cheating way to become a Creation Mage.
There are only thirteen of this hidden job-change Holy Spirit in the entire server. Its characteristics are high mana consumption and mediocre damage, but its advantage is that it can attack the enemy from unexpected angles.
The Creation Mage can generate all elements within a certain range to attack the enemy. The higher the level, the larger the range. However, the damage is not as good as that of the ordinary elemental mage, and the mana consumption is also very high.
"Don't think about it, he's one of us."
Jiang Qiao tapped Hai Lan's forehead lightly with his hand. Hai Lan was thinking about PKPKPK now, but although the game of Holy Spirit allowed PK in the wild, it did not encourage it.
In particular, the punishment for killing small accounts is very severe.
"Our own people? Who are they?"
Hailan looked around but still didn't see any familiar faces around.
"Don't think about it... just keep leveling up." When Jiang Qiao was about to take Hai Lan to find other monsters to kill, Hai Lan suddenly stood still.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Qiao asked.
"I suddenly feel...hungry."
Hailan stood there, holding her stomach, and then swallowed a little. At this moment, Jiang Qiao felt that the scene was gradually moving away on the empty plain...
"Go offline to eat?" Jiang Qiao knew that there was no way to stop Hai Lan from eating in this situation, so he could only feed her first.
"I want to eat in the game. Isn't there food for sale in Holy Spirit City?"
"Is this why you wanted to play this game? Ah... never mind, I'll take you there."
Jiang Qiao speechlessly summoned a portal to Brand Island. Now the entry threshold of Brand Island has been lowered to level 40. Hai Lan just reached the threshold of level 40, so she happily entered Brand Island.
Before entering the portal, Jiang Qiao glanced at the Lionheart Cliff, sighed slightly, and walked directly into the portal.
Not long after Jiang Qiao and Hai Lan disappeared on the plain, Zigu Gaoshu took off his camouflage cloak and stood up.
"Little sister, what are you waiting for? Go to Brand Island and chase him!" Once the gossiping spirit of the self-proclaimed high math master starts burning, there is no way to extinguish it.
"… "
Wanxiang didn't say much, and directly started to read the return to city spell, preparing to teleport to Brand Island through Lionheart City.
… … …
Since the establishment of the Holy Spirit City, Brand Island has become more and more lively. Foreign NPC travelers and settled gods have become the most common guests of the Holy Spirit City besides players.
But Jiang Qiao knew that this might be the only restaurant in Holy Spirit City that was open for a long time.
This is a very small restaurant located in a remote area of Holy Spirit City. Its name is Shrine. It feels more like a bar than a restaurant. The manager is also an old acquaintance of Jiang Qiao...Zanxin, the president of the Temple of the Abyss, and...the goddess of beauty of the Alliance of Gods.
God knows how Canxin conquered the goddess of beauty. As a deity residing in the Holy Spirit City, she opened this restaurant with the funding of Canxin, and Canxin herself also changed her occupation to a chef and started cooking.
It’s a pity that there aren’t many customers, really not many... at least so far there haven’t been many players visiting.
Because food is just a means for players to restore health, they cannot taste the food under VR equipment.
But if gaming cabins become popular, this restaurant’s business should be a little better
Jiang Qiao led Hai Lan and pushed open the door of this somewhat remote restaurant.
"Welcome...Welcome...Welcome?" As the poster girl, the goddess of beauty wanted to welcome the first guest of the day with a smile, but her voice seemed a little distorted after she saw Hai Lan standing next to Jiang Qiao.
"Someone's here to mess things up again? Who is it?"
Canxin heard the ups and downs of the goddess of beauty's voice, and he didn't know where it came from, but when he saw it was Jiang Qiao, most of his momentum disappeared instantly.
"Great God?" Canxin and Jiang Qiao's relationship could barely be considered friends. Because of Zhao Mingwei's existence, Jiang Qiao knew the presidents of most of the guilds in Holy Spirit.
"Shall we change to another one?"
Hailan tugged Jiangqiao's sleeve lightly with her hand. Hailan, who usually looked a little silly, was very sensitive about this matter.
That is the gods' fear of her. Hai Lan has been trying her best to suppress her aura as the God Eater.
But Meishen could still vaguely feel that Hailan was different from other players. This feeling was like a little rabbit meeting a hungry tiger, and the fear spreading in Meishen's heart.
"There is only this one restaurant in Holy Spirit City. Where else can we go?" Jiang Qiao didn't mind the Goddess of Beauty's fear of Hai Lan. These gods who chose to settle in Holy Spirit City had to adapt to everything.
The goddess of beauty herself knew her own position. Even though she felt the...aura from Hai Lan that made her extremely afraid, she still tried her best to force a smile on her face.
"You two." Jiang Qiao pointed the number two at Canxin.
"President, President! Can you take us with you?"
Suddenly, the self-proclaimed high school student appeared out of nowhere, greeted Jiang Qiao, and then put his arm around Jiang Qiao in a very familiar manner, with an expression as if he was a good friend of Jiang Qiao.
Although the woman who cheated herself to learn high mathematics is a girl in real life, she plays a male character in the game, so her action does not seem to be wrong.
Jiang Qiao didn't respond but glanced behind the man who had hanged himself. Wanxiang was standing by the wall some distance away from Jiang Qiao, holding her own death elegy. After noticing Jiang Qiao's gaze, she consciously looked away.
This made Jiang Qiao sigh slightly, and then he said to Canxin, "Four."
The self-proclaimed high-mathematics girl's personality is much more cheerful than her sister's.
As soon as they entered the restaurant, under her guidance, Hai Lan sat down in front of Jiang Qiao with a confused look on her face, and Wan Xiang, who had been silent all the time, was forced by her to sit next to Jiang Qiao.
"Speaking of which, this is a stranger..." As soon as the senior high school student sat down, he led the topic to Hai Lan, which was already considered to be inquiring into Hai Lan's identity.
"My work partner recently won the qualification to play as Holy Spirit, so I spent some time helping her level up." Jiang Qiao introduced Hai Lan to the two sisters calmly while holding a cup of coffee made by the goddess of beauty.
Hai Lan is completely unaware of her situation now, her attention is all on the menu.
"Work partner? Turns out they're colleagues..."
While he was talking, Hai Lan suddenly turned the menu over and showed it to Jiang Qiao.
"Well, do we have any fruit in the fridge?"
Jiang Qiao's hand holding the coffee cup trembled slightly when he heard Hai Lan's question, but he still answered calmly...
"Didn't you eat all of it yesterday? And why did you order fruit from the refrigerator at this restaurant?"
"It helps to get rid of the greasiness after eating!" Hai Lan has recently started to be particular about what she eats.
However, the self-defeated senior high school student sitting next to Hai Lan had already covered his forehead with his hands and was looking at Wan Xiang who was sitting opposite him through his fingers.
It’s no use, little sister...these two are already living together, you lost from the beginning!
When Gao Shuzi was preparing to find a reason to pull Wanxiang away and then enlighten his sister's thoughts, the door of the restaurant was suddenly pushed open again.
"Damn it? Old Mo, you're here to mess things up again?" Canxin was furious when he saw the figure standing at the door.
"Two."
Mo Shigui was too lazy to reply to Canxin. After glaring at Canxin with those cold eyes, Canxin then noticed a girl standing next to Mo Shigui.
"Oh my god, you're also taking advantage of the newbies' craze to pick up girls?"
It is obvious that Canxin and Mo Shigui’s relationship is not close enough for him to know that Mo Shigui has a fiancée, let alone know the ID that Mo Shigui’s fiancée uses in the game.
In Canxin's eyes, Mo Shigui is just like the current old players of Shengli, the type who takes advantage of the wave of newbies to show off in front of a bunch of female players.
Canxin said with contempt that this might be ended by Mo Shigui's awakening.
"You don't want your Freya anymore?"
Canxin put his hands on the bar and looked at Mo Shigui who had just sat down at the bar, and Nancy who was beside Mo Shigui and asked.
This is really a headache.
At this moment, Jiang Qiao felt that the air in the store had completely frozen. Not only was Wanxiang silently turning the water cup with her fingers, but also Nancy who was looking at the menu nonchalantly.
For a moment, the atmosphere in this small shop called the Shrine was so weird that Jiang Qiao didn't know how to comment on it.
"Old Song, don't give up. It's not like the Holy Spirit can't marry an NPC now. Look, I have successfully brought the goddess of beauty home. Isn't it easy for you, Freya?" Canxin counselled Mo Shigui as a winner in life.
It was only then that Jiang Qiao noticed that the goddess of beauty was wearing a wedding ring on her hand.
What the hell? Jiang Qiao was shocked himself. Logically speaking, how long had Canxin and Meishen known each other
"Can we order now?" Mo Shigui finally interrupted Canxin's nagging in this way.
