Chapter 521: Chapter 510: An Unexpected Person (2nd Update!)
Jiang Qiao was now floating in the “no-extra-charge-for-adding-milk” room, in the form of a summoning beast at no extra charge.
“President, you still have this kind of skill? It feels quite cute.”
“No-extra-charge-for-adding-milk” pinched the cheeks of Jiang Qiao, who had turned into a fire spirit form. Jiang Qiao was now in a chibi two-head-tall state, and holding him in her arms, “no-extra-charge-for-adding-milk” could use him just like a stuffed toy.
“Stop pinching!”
Jiang Qiao moved the hand of “no-extra-charge-for-adding-milk” that was ssing with his face. Although this avatar was of a fire spirit, Jiang Qiao could still feel the sensation of touch.
“Got it, but it’s really great to see you here again, President. Usually, I can only hear your voice.” “No-extra-charge-for-adding-milk” looked at Jiang Qiao floating beside her and said.
“I see many NPCs teleporting here from the Creation Sanctuary through the transport beacons in Holy Spirit City. Can’t you?” Jiang Qiao could now take “no-extra-charge-for-adding-milk” back with him.
After Sniper Alma invited Jiang Qiao to join the Creation Sanctuary, Jiang Qiao also acquired a transport beacon, which could reverse-teleport “no-extra-charge-for-adding-milk” back.
“Not right now, I still have lots of business to run here.”
“No-extra-charge-for-adding-milk” made a money sign at Jiang Qiao. The interdiary missions assigned by the system recently did indeed make her a tidy profit, mainly because of her astonishing business acun. In just three months, her operations had expanded to the entire Sustainable Sanctuary.
But so of it also had to do with Sniper Alma’s covert protection.
“That underground trade hub you ntioned earlier, I’m a bit curious about it… could you… take there?”
Jiang Qiao was actually interested in finding out how the public opinion between Sustainable Sanctuary and Order Sanctuary had developed over these three months. Surely, with five or six thousand more governors popping up during this ti, the higher-ups in Sustainable Sanctuary must have noticed sothing was up.
“Sure, it’s a place I and a cat lady built offline. Although she did most of the work, let see… Rosh is probably not coming today.”
“No-extra-charge-for-adding-milk” went to the door of her room, looked around to make sure no one was passing by, then suddenly lifted Jiang Qiao and dashed off in a hundred-ter sprint.
From Jiang Qiao’s perspective, the technology of Sustainable Sanctuary was incredibly distorted, or to put it differently, their technology was normal for the civilization of the Sustainable Sanctuary.
The reason for the distortion was that Sustainable Sanctuary had mastered technologies the Blue Planet wouldn’t even dare dream of, such as super-space projection, holography, laser weapons, etc. But their computer networks were more akin to the feel of DOS machines.
The most intuitive sentint was that they discarded entertainnt features and allocated all their resources into battlefield computations.
“No-extra-charge-for-adding-milk” carried Jiang Qiao and habitually hoisted him overhead before charging straight into an elevator.
There were no buttons inside this elevator. “No-extra-charge-for-adding-milk” took out sothing that looked like a magnetic card from her backpack.
“That cat lady is really sothing, even hacking into Sustainable Sanctuary’s network. This thing is the pass for Holy Spirit World’s underground power leveling trade hub.”
“No-extra-charge-for-adding-milk” showed off as she inserted the cat-imprinted magnetic card into the elevator’s slot. The elevator trembled slightly before making a noise like space-ti teleportation.
It was indeed a space-ti teleportation.
The technology of Sustainable Sanctuary had advanced to the point where even their elevators were ‘space-ti transport elevators.’
From the changed coordinates, it appeared that this place was situated at the very bottom of Sustainable Sanctuary.
The Creation Sanctuary organization didn’t exist in so primitive dinsion; it was a ‘man-made dinsion’ they had built with their technology.
Each sanctuary had three to five different man-made dinsions. These massive man-made dinsions floated within the star charts, and the place “no-extra-charge-for-adding-milk” teleported to was presumably the lowest layer of this man-made dinsion of Sustainable Sanctuary.
When the elevator doors opened, the dim lights and long bar imdiately gave Jiang Qiao the impression of a place akin to a bar.
“No-extra-charge-for-adding-milk” walked into this ‘bar’ while carrying a speechless Jiang Qiao in a Lion King pose.
Jiang Qiao arrived just in ti. As “no-extra-charge-for-adding-milk” walked in holding Jiang Qiao, surprised shouts ca from the other end of the bar.
“Ge Wei! Are you alright? The Devouring God’s descendant didn’t do anything to you, right?”
A group of gods from Sustainable Sanctuary imdiately circled around the figure Jiang Qiao was looking for… the Holy Light Goddess Ge Wei.
The gods surrounding the Holy Light Goddess Ge Wei whetted Jiang Qiao’s appetite. Not because he wanted to devour them, but because they were premium solar energy chargers for the entire Holy Spirit server!
Perhaps it was another way to feast?
These four gods were unaware that they were being targeted by their natural enemy; their entire focus was on the returning Holy Light Goddess.
“I’m fine, I passed the trials.” The Holy Light Goddess forced a smile on her face, but it was clear to anyone that it was a feigned smile.
“Coming from Order Sanctuary, how did you find your first power leveling experience? Now that you’ve passed, do you know the na of the Holy Spirit who leveled for you? ntion their ID and give them a rating.”
Cat lady Laxina, who had been trained by “no-extra-charge-for-adding-milk” into a highly skilled order handler, had no idea why she had fought so desperately on the Path to Ascension in the past.
However, now Laxina had reached the rank of a governor, and with the benefits of this rank, she established this small bar as a place for custors to interact.
“The ID is Happy Gaming. Do you know their identity in Holy Spirit World? How can I find them again… What’s… what’s wrong?”
The Holy Light Goddess grew anxious as Laxina asked her this question, inquiring about Zhao Mingwei’s identity in Holy Spirit World, but Laxina suddenly stopped taking notes upon hearing the ID.
“You t the top star of Lion Heart Yoga Studio?” Laxina looked extrely surprised.
“Lion Heart Yoga Studio? Top star? What… what do you an?” The Holy Light Goddess couldn’t understand the aning of these terms.
“It’s the organization where the strongest gather in Holy Spirit World. I don’t understand what Yoga Studio ans, but the fact that you matched with a mber of Lion Heart Yoga Studio on your first try for power leveling ans you’re quite lucky!”
“Can I find him again?” The Holy Light Goddess hurriedly asked.
“Looking for help again?” Cat lady Laxina showed a very troubled expression when asked, “In the past three months, we have been offering nad Holy Spirit interdiary services. With just a little extra money, we can help you out, but the Lion Heart yoga studios are a bit tricky to deal with…”
“I can… I… How much is this worth in Divine Power Crystals here?”
The Holy Light Goddess glanced at the bag of Divine Power Crystals she was holding in her hand. It would be more than sufficient for Laxina to contact ‘Add Milk Don’t Increase Price’ and use them as a go-between to reach out to Zhao Mingwei with the five hundred Divine Power Crystals.
But they were ant to be returned to Zhao Mingwei, so she took off the pendant hanging around her neck to show it to Laxina.
“Ge Wei, have you lost your mind? That’s your Saint Heir Pendant!”
Another deity beside her spoke out, trying to stop the Holy Light Goddess. In Jiang Qiao’s eyes, this was akin to pawning family heirlooms.
“I haven’t lost my mind…” the Holy Light Goddess’s gaze remained fixed on Cat lady Laxina.
“This is really tricky, even with extra money, I can’t guarantee you will find him for sure…”
“I think… I can do you this favor.”
Jiang Qiao still chose to step forward. Laxina was about to ask who he was, but when she saw the person hugging Jiang Qiao was ‘Add Milk Don’t Increase Price’, she fell silent.
“Who are you?” The Holy Light Goddess looked at the fire spirit that appeared before her with so caution.
“The chairman of the Holy Spirit that you’re looking to et, could he also be considered a close friend?” Jiang Qiao couldn’t clearly define his relationship with Zhao Mingwei.
The Holy Light Goddess glanced at Cat lady Laxina, who gave a slight nod, hinting that what Jiang Qiao said was true.
“Could you let see him again on the Path to Ascension? I have sothing to return to him.”
“I can’t help with the Path to Ascension for now, but there’s no problem if you co to Holy Spirit City.”
Jiang Qiao revealed his true intent, also making an attempt.
Now, Jiang Qiao could indeed use the teleportation matrix to send her to Holy Spirit City, but capturing her trust the first ti was obviously quite forced.
To these deities, Holy Spirit City was seen as a city where the descendants of the Devouring God gathered, and they would not risk their lives to follow Jiang Qiao, a stranger, to the Holy Spirit City.
The Holy Light Goddess was the sa; suspicion quickly ford on her face, and the group of deity friends behind her tugged at her clothes, whispering not to go to such a dangerous place.
“Ge Wei, I still feel these descendants of the Devouring God seem unreliable. Could this be a trap?”
“I know that, my Holy Spirit friend, and I’m only willing to et him on the Path to Ascension. Your gathering place is still… too dangerous for and my followers.”
If the Holy Light Goddess were alone, she might have tried it, but right now she had hundreds of thousands of followers relying on her power to maintain the operation of her world fragnt.
If the Holy Light Goddess were to fall, her followers would face a true apocalypse.
“If these great gods reject your invitation, then may I have permission to visit Holy Spirit City?”
Suddenly, a very familiar voice rang out at the entrance of the bar’s elevator. When everyone in the bar saw the figure, they were so frightened that they went into a daze.
The Cat lady puffed up in fear and hid in the corner of the bar, while the other patrons frantically tried to escape through the other elevators.
Holy Light Goddess Ge Wei and her three deity friends were montarily unable to recognize the person at the elevator entrance, but when they did, they too began to tremble uncontrollably.
“She… She is the Governor Alma, one of the two Governors of the Sustainable Sanctuary…”
“Our search for a Holy Spirit substitute has been discovered by the Governor! We’re finished!”
The Holy Light Goddess’s face also showed a sowhat desperate expression. After all, they were gods who dwelled under the protection of the Creation Sanctuary; the Governors had far greater powers in the Creation Sanctuary, such as stopping the supply to their worlds.
“Sorry for the rush, I’m not here to pursue you criminals, just purely wanting to see the new sanctuary, Holy Spirit City,” said Governor Alma, her gaze locked on Jiang Qiao in his fire spirit form. ‘Add Milk Don’t Increase Price’ had already taken out a cross and was ready to fight, but Jiang Qiao raised his hand to signal ‘Add Milk Don’t Increase Price’ to calm down.
“If the teleportation array permits it, there’s no problem, but allow us so ti to prepare.”
If Jiang Qiao rembered correctly, it was four o’clock in the real world now. Although most players in the Holy Spirit were ultimate grinders, four o’clock was still the ti when the server had the fewest players online.
“How long?”
“Twelve hours… at a minimum,” Jiang Qiao said.
“I can spare that much ti.” Governor Alma approached the bar and placed her long gun on the top of the counter.
The bartender was a lizardman who had been so terrified that he had crawled into his own shell. Governor Alma tapped on the bar counter and said to the lizardman bartender, “Give a glass of the Insect Tribe’s secret brew, I’ll pay.”
The Holy Light Goddess’s friends tried to pull her away from this haunted place discreetly. If they had been marked by the Governor, their careers in the Creation Sanctuary were utterly dood!
“Order Sanctuary’s,” Governor Alma, holding the glass, called out to the four gods who were about to sneak away, “Sit down and wait. Didn’t one of your friends want to et with a Holy Spirit? If you co with , you won’t have to be afraid of being devoured by the Holy Spirit, right?”
“But… but…”
“We haven’t thought of betraying the Creation Sanctuary!” The Holy Light Goddess couldn’t guess what Governor Alma was thinking, but she still attempted to defend themselves.
“I know, ascending the Path to Ascension, attaining higher ranks, it’s all about survival. Co with to Holy Spirit City, and I’ll pretend I never saw anything today,” she added.
With those words, the four gods reluctantly sat down. Jiang Qiao watched Governor Alma and the four gods for a long ti, feeling like the Governor was sohow helping him?
No, that’s not right… She must have so other plan. Jiang Qiao must now alert the players to be on guard for her arrival.
