This was definitely the most stressful moment since Jiang Qiao was born, far more stressful than the college entrance examination.
But if you think about it carefully... Jiang Qiao has no reason to be nervous. Even if Wanxiang and Jianaibujiaqian know that Hailan is living with him, there will be no problem.
The biggest reason why Jiang Qiao didn't want Hai Lan to show up in front of everyone was because... it was too troublesome to explain.
However, after several versions of evolution, Freya's appearance has become slightly different from Hai Lan. The most intuitive feeling is that they look very similar at first glance, but if you look closely, you will find that they are two completely different people.
In addition, Hai Lan's current hair color has been adjusted to black, so Jiang Qiao feels that there should be no problem.
Calm down, Jiang Qiao…it’s just the members of the Nameless Guild getting together to have dinner offline!
"Jiang Qiao...I'm hungry." Hai Lan suddenly stopped scrolling on her phone and habitually said to Jiang Qiao who was sitting next to her.
"The chopsticks and bowl are in the kitchen! Go get them yourself!"
Jiang Qiao almost lifted Hai Lan up and threw her off the sofa. It might be because Jiang Qiao spoiled Hai Lan when they first met. Now Jiang Qiao really had the illusion that he had raised a fat cat that only ate cat food and needed to be fed by someone.
Hailan walked into the kitchen reluctantly.
"Senior Jiang Qiao...it seems like your relationship with her is...very good?" Wanxiang glanced at Hailan's back and said in a very low voice.
"Good relationship? My relationship with her is more like that of a pet owner..."
Jiang Qiao sounded very confident when he said this, and Hai Lan could clearly hear what Jiang Qiao was saying in the kitchen.
"Pet..." Wanxiang was a little surprised by Jiangqiao's description of Hailan, but she didn't think it was wrong to add milk without adding extra money. Instead...
"Then can I raise the baby together with you, President?" Jia Nai said without raising the price.
"Wait, by raising them together with milk, you mean..."
"I live next door to you, President. I usually order takeout for my meals in real life. I just figured it out. Can I come to you for a meal next time I eat? I can also help take care of your pets."
Adding milk without raising the price launched the attack first, and Wanxiang had already realized that the danger was approaching.
Raise it together? Is there such an option? No... shouldn't we treat a person as a pet
Can…
"I... I can do it too!" Wanxiang followed up immediately. She knew that if she didn't fight for it at this time, she would have no chance. "The school is very close to here. Can I come here to eat normally?"
Jiang Qiao was being watched by Wan Xiang and Jia Nai Wu Pai at this moment. Logically speaking, Hai Lan should have come out to refuse them now, because if Wan Xiang and Jia Nai Wu Pai came to eat for free...
"Sure." Hai Lan suddenly popped her head out of the kitchen and said, "In this case, Jiang Qiao will have to prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner for four people, right?"
Hai Lan's answer made Jiang Qiao cover his forehead with his hands in pain.
"You can come if you want. It's a benefit of the Nameless Guild."
Jiang Qiao really couldn't think of how to reject the offer of adding milk without increasing the price, because adding milk without increasing the price had helped Jiang Qiao so much. If he didn't reject the offer of adding milk without increasing the price, and rejected Wan Xiang alone... Jiang Qiao felt sorry for Wan Xiang.
This feeling of being excluded from the group is probably what Wanxiang hates most.
Anyway, he just came to his house to eat! Jiang Qiao could support Hai Lan, so the other members of the Nameless Guild should be able to do so as well.
"I...I usually bring my own ingredients." Wanxiang seemed very happy after getting permission to visit Jiangqiao's house.
What surprised Jiang Qiao the most was that Hai Lan actually brought over the meals for four people.
This dinner was also very harmonious. Wanxiang was well brought up. For example, she was not allowed to talk while eating and was required to chew carefully. These were things that needed to be paid attention to since childhood, and Wanxiang implemented them to the end.
After the dinner, Jiang Qiao felt that Wanxiang was a lady from a wealthy family. Sitting at the same table was a girl who had fled from famine, and another girl who was relatively normal, but she was very picky about food.
Adding milk doesn’t increase the price. Surprisingly, I don’t like vegetables very much and only like to eat meat, or is it because meat is more expensive
There was little communication between everyone at the dinner table throughout the entire process. In the end, Wanxiang and Jiangqiao washed the plates together... thus ending this somewhat eventful offline gathering of the Nameless.
Finally, around nine o'clock in the evening, Wanxiang and Jia Nai Wu Jia had packed up and came to Jiang Qiao's house to say goodbye to Jiang Qiao.
"Can I still come tomorrow?"
Before leaving, Wanxiang asked Jiangqiao the same question again as if to confirm.
"Anyway, I'm going to come to the president's place for breakfast tomorrow."
"I...may have early self-study tomorrow, so I can only go at noon and in the evening..." She stretched out her fingers and carefully calculated the time it took to travel to and from Jiang Qiao's home and school.
This made Jiang Qiao very glad that he lived not far from his school, otherwise the girl might face a great risk of failing the course.
"You can come whenever you want. Wanxiang, do you want me to take you home? I remember our school dormitory door is closed at 10 o'clock." Jiang Qiao was still a little worried about Wanxiang being outside alone so late.
But the task was finally taken over by someone who volunteered to add milk without paying extra, so the two of them took the elevator and left the floor under Jiang Qiao's watch.
Today was spent relatively peacefully, but what about tomorrow
Jiang Qiao is no longer in the mood to think so much, because...
“Jiang Qiao!!” Hai Lan rushed to Jiang Qiao immediately. “Alma from the Sanctuary of Eternal Sustainability said she has something urgent to discuss with us.”
"knew…"
Jiang Qiao still has a lot of things to deal with in the game.
… … …
The core area of Yongsu City.
"Agent, this is Apocalypse, the ruler of the Sanctuary of Order." Alma the Sharpshooter said, pointing at a holographic projection behind him.
Behind her, the holographic projection showed a hunched old man.
"The Sanctuary of Order is planning to form an alliance with us?" Jiang Qiao had already guessed this possibility. The first place that the Sanctuary of Sustainability would most likely invade after it turned into a worm nest would be the Sanctuary of Order.
Because the Sanctuary of Order is closest to the Sanctuary of Permanence, if it weren't for the warriors of the Legion of Annihilation delaying the advance of the Void Zerg, the Sanctuary of Order would have been surrounded by the Zerg nest long ago.
"Strictly speaking it's not an alliance. I persuaded them to dispatch a hundred gods to fill the cracks in your godhead fragments. Together with the gods under my command, they should be able to repair the two shattered godhead fragments at once." Alma the Divine Spear finally helped Jiang Qiao in a real sense.
"real?"
But Jiang Qiao still didn't dare to believe it, fearing that there was some trap. This was equivalent to the Sanctuary of Order selling a hundred gods to Jiang Qiao.
“In the face of a natural disaster that is powerful enough to destroy the entire Sanctuary of Creation, every individual in the Sanctuary of Creation is insignificant.” This was said by the supervisor named Apocalypse.
"So... where is the God you gave us?" Jiang Qiao would not hand over the fragments of the Godhead. What Jiang Qiao wanted was for them to teleport the God over.
"It's right down here."
As soon as Alma the Sharpshooter finished speaking, the ground beneath Jiang Qiao's feet suddenly became completely transparent.
Jiang Qiao lowered his head and looked down, and found that there were a hundred metal rectangles lying below. These rectangles looked like coffins.
But Jiang Qiao could sense the breath of life in it, or the breath of gods.
"What do you mean?"
Jiang Qiao saw that this kind of "coffin" had a blocking effect, which meant that these one hundred gods from the Sanctuary of Order were captured by force.
“Are you not satisfied? God of Devouring Gods, just one hundred offerings are not enough?” The ruler of the Sanctuary of Order asked with some dissatisfaction.
"Very satisfied, probably."
Jiang Qiao suppressed his inner anger. The Sanctuary of Order was not trafficking human beings to Jiang Qiao, but more like selling livestock and food to the God of Devouring Gods.
Now in order to deal with the Void Zerg, the Sanctuary of Creation needs to borrow the power of the God of Devouring Gods.
These one hundred gods are sacrifices, food provided to Hai Lan.
After Jiang Qiao figured it out, he directly summoned the Fire Spirit to shatter the ground beneath his feet. Then Jiang Qiao and Hai Lan fell into the space where the one hundred poor gods were.
"Perhaps I should ask the Sanctuary of Order to use more...appropriate means?" Alma, the Sharpshooter, also appeared in the center of this space and asked.
"How do I open this thing?"
Jiang Qiao came to one of the coffins and asked Alma.
The complexity of this equipment was far beyond Jiang Qiao's imagination.
"They won't be grateful to you, Holy Spirit." Alma, the God Spear, warned Jiang Qiao. At this moment, she really hoped that Jiang Qiao would be a little more cruel and let Hai Lan eat all the one hundred gods alive.
"I don't need their gratitude. Since these gods come from the Sanctuary of Order, who knows who among them is the friend or...wife of the Holy Spirit? Ruler, at this time, please believe in the reputation of the Holy Spirit." Jiang Qiao said.
The sharpshooter Alma sighed deeply, but still helped Jiang Qiao to remove the blockade of the coffins.
The gods who awakened from the coffins carried their own world with them. They were all abandoned by the Sanctuary of Order.
Just as Alma the Spear had expected, these gods were filled with fear and terror.
But Jiang Qiao patiently did ideological work for them, relying on the reputation that Holy Spirit had accumulated along the way.
When these gods really harbor great hostility, Jiang Qiao will ask them about their previous good relationship with the Holy Spirit player. Then Jiang Qiao will use special events to let this god and the Holy Spirit player have a chat and talk to each other, and by the way, trick the other party into joining the Holy Spirit City or something.
This recruitment work lasted for about three days, and finally when the last god sleeping in the coffin was persuaded by Jiang Qiao and another enthusiastic player who did not want to reveal his name.
Hai Lan's two damaged godheads were successfully repaired. At the same time, the level cap of Holy Spirit players was raised to level 75 at one time. Jiang Qiao also obtained the qualification of 600,000 players, which instantly brought the number of people on the Holy Spirit server to a huge 1.5 million.
"A new version? It's about time that the Holy Spirit is released into the world."
Jiang Qiao flexed his fingers and prepared to start writing the content of this new version.
