Chapter 575: Chapter 554 Oops, Ruined (1st Update)
Thorne had his wish fulfilled by arriving at the Astrology Tower to et Jiang Qiao and shared with him the knowledge about Void Erosion.
“A chronic disease?” Jiang Qiao listened to Thorne’s explanation and roughly understood what Hai Lan’s symptoms were about.
“If it were a common spirit, their world would have long beco a nest for the swarm, but the world of the Devouring God is difficult to corrupt, so for an agent like you, it’s just a symptom like the flu that causes low fever and general weakness.”
During his ti in the Holy Spirit World, Thorne had also learned many terms specifically used by spirits, and Hai Lan’s current symptoms were equivalent to a viral cold, which would not be life-threatening but would make one feel weak.
“Furthermore, there is a certain probability that these symptoms might transfer,” Thorne added.
“Transfer? What do you an by transfer? Shouldn’t it be contagious?”
As Jiang Qiao finished this sentence, a sudden and bizarre dizziness overtook his consciousness, and under Thorne and Queen i’s gaze, Jiang Qiao suddenly knelt on the ground.
The mont Jiang Qiao knelt, Hai Lan suddenly beca energetic and sat up from the bed.
“Jiang Qiao! I’m better now! I… am… why did you fall down?” Hai Lan got off the bed and prodded Jiang Qiao’s cheek, who was sowhat unable to move, with a stick.
“I understand what you ant by transferring now.”
Jiang Qiao reached out and grabbed the stick that Hai Lan was using to prod his cheek, and the influence of the Void Erosion suddenly transferred to him.
Jiang Qiao and Hai Lan shared a divine status, strictly speaking, if Hai Lan were to die, Jiang Qiao would also perish, so it was not surprising to him that the disease could be mutually endured and shared.
Only with Queen i’s support, could Jiang Qiao barely lie down on the bed.
“Sir Thorne, how can the corruption of the void be completely cured?”
Queen i, with a touch of distress, placed her hand on Jiang Qiao’s forehead, whose temperature swiftly rose to forty degrees, a fever that usually required hospitalization.
“Kill that Subli Entity; that’s the only root cause thod,” Thorne made a simple beheading gesture, “Of course, you have sufficient ti to prepare, as the Void Erosion isn’t lethal, and the worst symptom is that it will alternately put you both in this state.”
“Alternately, you an these flu-like symptoms will keep transferring?”
Jiang Qiao felt very uncomfortable now, like when he had the flu in childhood, the feeling of being weak all over and dizzy.
The worst part was that this thing couldn’t be solved by dication.
“All direct subordinate deities who share the divine status will be affected,” Thorne seed quite experienced in this aspect.
This statent made Jiang Qiao shift his gaze towards Queen i, who was still pressing a small hand against her own forehead.
Queen i… along with her five Knights, even the Great Mother and Spear Alma… all had spiritual contracts signed with Jiang Qiao as direct subordinate deities.
Which ant these flu symptoms would intermittently transfer to soone else.
“Given my constitution, I should be able to endure these symptoms better,” Queen i said, knowing this, she didn’t move away from Jiang Qiao but instead turned to ask Thorne, “How exactly does it transfer?”
“Hmm! How does it transfer?”
Hai Lan felt like her role had been stolen, so she quietly echoed from the side.
“I have a lot of experience with killing bugs, but how to control them, I don’t know,” Thorne shrugged, indicating he also was unclear about the duration and timing of transferring these symptoms.
“I can endure it; it’s just a continuous high fever…” Jiang Qiao regulated his breathing, created an ice pack to press against his forehead to feel better, then said, “The rest is to set up and wipe out that swarm of void creatures, right?”
“Yes, but it will be a long fight, the extinction unit’s reconstruction of that old city has only just begun, and whether we can win remains uncertain,” Thorne was roughly aware of the conditions in Sustainable City now.
The Void Swarm, having the genes of the Eternals, just hearing this phrase gave Thorne a chilling feeling.
Devouring God, along with fire attribute damage, these were the only two ans that could cause damage to those creatures.
“Let’s take it slow, Hai Lan, do a favor.”
Jiang Qiao realized he was unable to walk now, and even creating objects would result in so discrepancies, so he could only lie in bed and wait for the illness to transfer to another fortunate person.
“What favor?”
“Go make an appearance at the Active Nucleus…” Jiang Qiao lay on the bed with a desolate expression and said, “The public recruitnt over there seems to involve .”
“And what about you, Jiang Qiao?” It seed that Hai Lan was considering staying to take care of Jiang Qiao.
“Perhaps Queen i can take care of ? Your identity as a player makes you more suitable to make public appearances over there.”
Jiang Qiao didn’t dare let his Fureya co into contact with him, suffering from the illness was no issue for himself, but if the prototype of his Fureya fell ill, then all Fureyas in the server would suffer.”
“Uh…”
Hai Lan’s gaze swept between Queen i and Jiang Qiao for a long ti; eventually, under Jiang Qiao’s urging, she opened a teleportation portal toward the Pulse Nucleus base.
The base of the Pulse Nucleus had expanded a lot recently, connecting several bases in Holy Spirit City, finally giving it a bit of a dieval city vibe.
Of course, it was the version modified by the players.
The sign for Lion Heart Yoga Studio didn’t attract too many residents from Sustainable City, but it did draw a bunch of top-ranked players from all over the server.
This ranking wasn’t based on level or arena RANK points but on the percentage of power mastery.
Not long after the power trial ca online, Jiang Qiao updated this leaderboard; soon, it beca the sole asure of the Holy Spirit God, just like the ladder rankings in the arena.
As a newbie, Hai Lan walked into the dojo and imdiately saw President Yín helping Rosh.
“Even the Power of the Four Gods isn’t enough? Old Mousy… you wouldn’t happen to be a spy sent by the Gray Eyes Association, would you? I rember the Power of the Four Gods being pretty positive.”
Iron Pot Stewing at teasingly addressed the chairman of the Gray Eyes Association, Hui Bai Tóng, as a new world-class monster nad Gray Eyes had appeared; the guild had been jestingly accused on the forums of possibly harboring spies from the enemy.
To distinguish him, most people now called the chairman Hui Bai, but he also had another identity—the number one Demon Exorcist in Holy Spirit. Since the introduction of the power trials instance, no one had been able to shake his position.
Currently, he had mastered seventy-seven percent of the Power of the Four Gods, a feat no other Demon Exorcist player in the server had achieved.
“The trials of the Four Sacred Beasts are also part of the Power of the Four Gods, and the chance of getting injured is over eighty percent.” Hui Bai was very unhappy about Iron Pot Stewing at’s irresponsible speculations.
Hai Lan, still unclear about the situation, cautiously approached Wan Xiang, who was also watching, and quietly asked, “What are they doing?”
“General usability tests. The power bestowed by many professions on their apprentices has so side effects, and everyone is testing which profession has the least. Miss Rosh is… the test subject.”
Wan Xiang didn’t know who was asking but instinctively responded.
“Oh, I see,” Hai Lan said, glancing toward Rosh in the crowd.
Rosh was clearly representing Sustainable Sanctuary; the power inheritance of Holy Spirit was crucial for Sustainable Sanctuary’s creation of its extinction unit.
Not everyone could handle the power of the Devouring God, and all the powers of the Devouring God had side effects, but Sustainable Sanctuary needed its mass production of Devouring God apprentices.
Thus, Rosh volunteered to receive powers from different professional players to test which had the least side effects.
However, the results so far showed that all professions, even the nurturing power of Holy Light, had side effects.
“You can rest for a bit, Miss Rosh,” Yín said, having seen Rosh’s health cap reduced several tis during the tests.
This was the last thing he wanted to see because Rosh, being one of the Eternals, already had low health, and every bit of her health cap was precious.
“I’m fine; we can’t let the Void Swarm expand any further… Holy Spirit, who else has mastered their ability to the extent that they can impart it to others?” Rosh asked.
“There are plenty; I’m already making contact. Player Zhao… has your chairman not arrived yet?”
Yín knew that many residents of Sustainable Sanctuary were willing to sacrifice their health and lives to learn the power of Holy Spirit, but testing all possibilities was certainly best.
“Chairman, I’ve already contacted him…”
“About the chairman not updating his status, he might not be able to join the guild or participate in ga activities for a while,” Hai Lan quietly raised her hand and said at this mont.
“You are… I rember you’re the colleague who works with Chairman Jiang Qiao, right?”
Yín noticed Hai Lan’s presence, which wasn’t sothing remarkable since Jiang Qiao’s guild, Naless, admitted new mbers all the ti; yet, Yín always felt like he had seen Hai Lan sowhere before.
“The chairman can’t log on? Why…” Milk Without Markup, not knowing from where, chid in, finding the idea of Jiang Qiao not playing Holy Spirit astonishing.
In the friends list, Jiang Qiao’s online duration was longer than Zhao Mingwei’s and second only to Milk Without Markup, which ant that Jiang Qiao spent all his sleeping hours in Holy Spirit.
“Uh… because he’s sick,” Hai Lan bluntly stated, startling Jiang Qiao, who had been resting in bed.
Hai Lan was completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation until Wan Xiang gently tugged at Hai Lan’s sleeve and lowered her voice to ask.
“Is it serious? How did you know?”
Wan Xiang’s voice was soft, and many in the crowd didn’t understand what was happening, but so people close to Jiang Qiao instinctively wondered…
“I’m also curious, why could you know about the chairman’s illness the mont it happened?” Milk Without Markup asked.
