Chapter 353: Chapter 342: Resplendent Glory (Second Update) Chapter 353: Chapter 342: Resplendent Glory (Second Update) Wan Xiang couldn’t touch that Black Ash Knight’s platinum trophy because after the Black Ash Knight’s health dropped to zero, she was caught by her own dad.
“Xiao Wan, have you gotten stronger?”
The man found Wan Xiang in the backstage rest area for players, and he planned to take her ho… but when he reached out to pull Wan Xiang, he acutely perceived that her strength had increased a bit.
Wan Xiang was born premature and even the doctors were unsure whether she would survive, but Wan Xiang managed to pull through, though her body had always been frail from childhood.
That’s why Wan Xiang had been training her physical fitness under the guidance of her own dad since she was young… But a person’s potential is innate, and despite training from a young age, Wan Xiang still struggled to complete the 800 ters during her college entrance exams.
“Now is not the ti to ask that, your mom called, I had a colleague send you ho.”
The man pointed to the safety passage behind him and said to Wan Xiang.
But when the man turned back, he could only see Wan Xiang’s figure running towards the direction of the competition’s spectator seats again.
“Xiao Wan!”
The man imdiately chased after her. Usually, he would have easily caught his daughter, so the man started off with a light jog, but when he noticed Wan Xiang’s figure getting farther away, the man quickened his pace.
In the end, Wan Xiang ran all the way from the backstage rest area to the far end of the spectator seats. This was not where her sister was seated, but rather where Jiang Qiao and a group of big shots who had participated in the Black Ash Knight subjugation battle were seated.
“Xiao Wan!”
As Jiang Qiao was intently observing the reactions of players in the Chen ng live broadcast room, a man’s voice broke through Jiang Qiao’s thoughts. The next second, Wan Xiang popped up from nowhere and, without saying a word, hid behind Jiang Qiao.
“Who is he?”
Jiang Qiao realized that Wan Xiang was hiding from the man, so he still protected Wan Xiang behind him first.
This was also another elent of Jiang Qiao’s worry about Wan Xiang appearing in the ga with her real appearance; it could affect her safety in real life.
But Wan Xiang’s fans appeared a bit too quickly, right?
“Hello, I am the security personnel for this holographic projection exhibition, and I am also the father of the child behind you,” the man flashed his identification, then, pointing to Wan Xiang hiding behind Jiang Qiao, asked in confusion, “May I ask what is your relationship with my daughter?”
Damn! How did her parents find out so quickly?
The always fearless Jiang Qiao suddenly felt timid at that mont. Instinctively, he wanted to push Wan Xiang, who was hiding behind him, out and say ‘She has nothing to do with !’
But as the guild leader of the Unnad Guild, a man! How could he cower at a ti like this?
“Uh… your daughter and I are just online friends, friends from the sa guild in Holy Spirit World,” Jiang Qiao still chose to speak the truth at this ti.
“Online friends? Was it you who invited my daughter to this ga competition?”
The man then realized that those sitting next to Jiang Qiao were not ordinary spectators; although he did not watch the ga competitions, he still recognized that everyone sitting next to Jiang Qiao were professional players who were cheered on by the audience in the arena.
“She has her college entrance exam next month,” the man took a deep breath and continued to stare at Jiang Qiao saying, “Did she tell you this?”
“Uh… that…” Jiang Qiao suddenly felt as if his conscience was being interrogated.
Wan Xiang, who had been hiding behind Jiang Qiao, seed to perceive Jiang Qiao’s dilemma; after tightly tugging at the hem of Jiang Qiao’s clothes, she chose to co out from behind Jiang Qiao and instead stood in front of him.
“I decided to participate in this competition on my own! It has nothing to do with the guild leader!” Wan Xiang’s voice still sounded a bit scared.
“Xiao Wan!”
“Father of Wan Xiang, do you know how outstanding your daughter’s performance is in Holy Spirit World?”
Jiang Qiao no longer hesitated at this mont. He reached out and lightly patted Wan Xiang’s shoulder, his gaze intersecting with that of Wan Xiang’s father, choosing to strongly challenge Wan Xiang’s own dad.
“Holy Spirit? But the Holy Spirit is rely a virtual ga.”
The man shared this notion with Wan Xiang’s mother, believing that no matter how well you play the ga, in the end, it’s just a frivolous distraction.
“If you’d said that one minute ago, I would have agreed with you, but not one minute later,” Jiang Qiao said, making an inviting gesture toward Wan Xiang’s father, while nodding toward Queen i who was making enticing promises on the stage. “Tis have changed, sir.”
“What are you talking about?”
The man didn’t understand what Jiang Qiao ant. When his gaze shifted to the stage, an enormous projection had already appeared behind Queen i. She was coordinating with this projection to explain how the total revenues from Holy Spirit’s in-ga purchases would be given back to the players.
“Holy Spirits, your efforts in the ga will earn you more than just in-ga items and experience,” Queen i said, sounding a bit awkward since the notion of a ga character discussing such things felt quite peculiar.
But as a queen who had adapted to surfing the internet in the new era, i had beco accustod to these things.
At that mont, several figures familiar and deeply resented by veteran Holy Spirit players appeared behind i, including three Guardians from the inner world with a “knocking your horse down” level of difficulty, along with five Guardians from different regions. Among them were the 13 Prince and the shadow-chosen ones.
They all appeared in person, but Thorne seed confused as he looked around the stadium after materializing, not understanding why he was transported here during his leisurely ti off.
“You can also win anything in the real world…” Queen i was actually bragging when she said ‘anything,’ but what if Jiang Qiao really launched an instance in the future that rewarded a house in the real world for clearing it?
“From the most basic necessities like food, clothing, and furniture.”
As Queen i ntioned these three things, she walked past the shadow-chosen one, Prince Segman, and the War God. The prizes for defeating them with a Challenge Voucher in the inner world were a feast at a pizza restaurant, a piece of clothing of your choice at a clothing store, and a piece of furniture to take ho, respectively.
“Exchange anything? Hey! AI! Can playing this ga get you a house?”
“Yeah! Can it get you a house?”
So audiences in the stands, who weren’t familiar with Holy Spirit, shouted with disbelief after hearing Queen i’s enticing promises. Their cries echoed throughout the stadium, and even they themselves didn’t realize how their mutterings were broadcasted to everyone.
These doubts were naturally planted by Jiang Qiao, who randomly picked a few paid shills. Queen i, hearing these doubts, turned her gaze back to Jiang Qiao seated at the far end of the stands.
‘Yes, take Thorne for example.’ Jiang Qiao communicated with Queen i using so sort of telepathy.
“Of course you can, future Holy Spirits.”
As she spoke, Queen i had already walked over to Thorne’s side, and the lavish rewards for defeating Thorne were displayed before everyone.
“Although the current Lords and Guardians in Holy Spirit don’t award you… with real estate in your actual world, the value of the prize for defeating this Guardian should suffice to help you buy a house in reality, of course, under mortgage down-paynt trading terms,” Queen i said with a chuckle at the end.
“A VR ga set valued at 630,000? I’ve seen it on the news before, thought it was just ga marketing.”
“Isn’t it still a marketing strategy? I’ve never heard of anyone beating that NPC.”
The man quietly listened to the discussions among the audience around him and his colleagues on the radio frequency channel. Even he couldn’t help but ask, sowhat incredulously,
“This is just a marketing strategy for this ga, right?”
Although their family were natives of the uptown area, 630,000 was still a considerable sum for them. To earn 630,000 just by playing a ga and defeating a monster? Has the ga gone mad, or has the world gone mad?
“Of course it’s true. The world is always filled with opportunities, but there are even greater opportunities in Holy Spirit World,” Jiang Qiao said, lowering his voice as he looked at the man, anticipating his irritation. “You might get angry at what I’m about to say… Even if your daughter didn’t get into a university, or even if she doesn’t go to university, with her talent and abilities in Holy Spirit, as a Holy Spirit player, she can still make her mark in the real world. No… ‘make her mark’ is perhaps a bit vague. Let explain it in the most direct way possible.”
Jiang Qiao gently placed his hand on Wan Xiang’s shoulder and then said to the man,
“Your daughter’s weapon in the ga is worth 300,000, and there have been nurous clubs and guilds that are willing to pay top dollar to recruit her. The salary offered by these clubs and guilds might be dozens of tis more than what she would make if she were to graduate from a top-tier university and join a state-owned enterprise! From the mont your daughter beca a Holy Spirit player, her life and future have been ablaze with possibilities!”
