Jiang Qiao and Hai Lan didn't wait for the ship to arrive at the temporary port of Brandt Island.
He directly descended from the sky onto the ship.
Although it was three in the morning, there were still hundreds of players on Brandt Island busy building their strongholds. Even if a player discovered the ship and posted a screenshot of it on the forum.
There would definitely be some 'I know!
This is another hidden quest 'conclusion. Then, a large group of players would run to the port and greet the people on the ship.
Jiang Qiao might have to cooperate with them and issue some hidden quests. But now that the ship was near Brandt Island, some players had probably discovered it.
"Who's there?"
The sailors on the ship noticed Jiang Qiao and Hai Lan descending from the sky. Jiang Qiao let go of the Wind Spirit in his hand. Elemental Summoners didn't have the ability to fly. Although the Wind Spirit could fly … Jiang Qiao banned the Wind Spirit's ability to carry people out of consideration for the class balance.
But they were now in the real world outside the game.
"We're Leila Felicia's friends. Call her over," said Jiang Qiao.
"I'll be right here."
Leila walked out of the captain's cabin. She was no longer wearing a military uniform, but an ordinary civilian's outfit.
What caught Jiang Qiao's attention was that Leila's jewelry, rings, and earrings were all gone.
Don't tell me he sold all these things just to buy groceries?
"Please come in. We'll talk inside," said Leila, pointing at the captain's cabin.
Jiang Qiao and Hai Lan entered the captain's cabin together. The ship wasn't the warship that transported Leila, but a merchant ship.
Leila had used a certain method to bypass the surveillance of the Bright Sun Empire to reach Brandt Island. The sailors on the ship were as tense as if they were surrounded by sea monsters and pirates.
After all, there were indeed sea monsters in the water of this island.
The crystallization disease had already spread in the water. Realizing this, Jiang Qiao knew that if he wanted to eliminate the crystallization disease, purifying Brandt Island was only the beginning.
What was worse was …
"I guess there are many people in your country who want to steal the power of Brandt Island?"
Jiang Qiao glanced at the decoration in the captain's cabin. On the table was a map of the Glorious Sun Empire and Brandt Island. Leila was drawing something with a pen.
"… Yes, they were the ones who created the Law Stealer," Leila said.
"So fast?
I thought you would first see the truth, then break down, and then escape from death to help us get the supplies. "
In fact, Jiang Qiao had come up with a lot of scenarios where Leila returned to the Glorious Sun Empire in his mind. Logically speaking, Leila should be a 64-episode TV series, involving the collapse of faith, betrayal, friendship, love, and everything else mixed together, the kind with a viewership rating of 2.4.
Hmm … very melodramatic.
"I was indeed being hunted, but … your knight helped me solve it."
Leila took out the ruby crystal that Jiang Qiao gave her. There was a hint of fear in Leila's voice when she mentioned the Hornet Knight.
"Oh, and the grandpa element in the ring. I'm your golden finger, right?" Jiang Qiao said something that Leila did not understand.
"I'm trying to contact the forces that oppose the crystallization experiment. There's some progress," Leila said quickly.
"Stop, I'm not interested in the life and death of your country, including the power struggle. I'm not interested in those delusional thoughts of 'only the power of crystallization can save this country'. You are a merchant, a merchant who brings supplies to me. I only care about what food you bought today."
Jiang Qiao did not want to get involved in the struggles of this world because … it was useless.
It was just like how no one would care about the war between the iron and copper mines in a mine. As a miner, he only needed to dig out all the mines.
The only thing that Jiang Qiao cared about in this world was the possibility of Queen Mey's last descendants, or the residents of Hai Lan's original world, and the Divinity Shard.
"The supplies are all in the cabin. I bought a lot of food and seeds, three Warm-Water Cows, ten Flaming Eye Ducks, and ten Steed Chickens. I don't know how to feed them. Some of them are dying," Leila said with a distressed expression. She looked at Jiang Qiao and Hai Lan for help.
"Don't look at me. I don't know how to feed cows and chickens either. She … knows a hundred ways to feed a cow."
Jiang Qiao did not expect Leila to move the entire Farm over. Now that the players in the foothold were playing games like Mine Story and Factory Tycoon, would there be players who wanted to play Farm Story?
Chickens, cows, and goats could only be kept as entertainment in the game, or as food for Miss Freya.
Moreover, it was very difficult to feed them. But wait …
"What duck?
What cow?
What chicken? "
Jiang Qiao suddenly remembered that when Leila mentioned the ingredients, there seemed to be a prefix that sounded very powerful.
"Warm-Water Cows, Flaming Eye Ducks, and Steed Chickens. These are livestock that have less Mana in their bodies," Leila explained.
"What's the difference between these things and livestock without Mana?" Jiang Qiao asked.
"More … difficult to feed?
The Flaming Eye Ducks can spit out small flames. If you eat them for the first time, you might feel your blood vessels swell because of the Mana, but the Holy Spirits won't feel the same. "
Leila recalled the scene where she 'fought' with the players on the island, and the serious expression on her face almost collapsed.
"As expected of a chicken from the Magical World. Is there anything with a higher quality?"
Jiang Qiao thought for a moment and decided to introduce the Farm System into the game. It was up to the players to decide if they wanted to play the game.
However, these enchanted chickens and ducks had great potential to evolve. If he wanted to capture them as pets … Jiang Qiao felt that it would be more practical to capture the monsters on Brandt Island.
But the dishes they made were enchanted!
"Yes, there are a lot of them, but they are too expensive," Leila said helplessly.
"I'll think of a way to get you some money. But when you're taking revenge or doing any other main quest, just remember that I'm also a main quest."
Jiang Qiao opened his backpack and thought about what he could bring to sell in this world. Normally, it would be those special HP potions.
But these potions would only work on Holy Spirits and the NPCs in the Holy Spirit world.
"About the agent, there's one more thing."
Leila seemed to have a fierce inner struggle before she said to Jiang Qiao, "When your knight destroyed the crystal altar in Osprey Harbor, he saved a few poor people."
"You want me to save them?"
Jiang Qiao's words made Leila purse her lips tightly together. Her pride did not allow her to ask for more from Jiang Qiao, but Leila's kindness did not allow her to leave them to die.
"I'm just missing a few NPCs. Let's see if we can make them into tools," Jiang Qiao whispered. Leila succeeded in eavesdropping.
"Tools?" Why did Leila feel that this description was a little scary?
"Nothing, nothing. Take me to see those injured people." Jiang Qiao's whisper was really just a joke.
It was really just a joke. As for why the Hornet Knight did not report this to Jiang Qiao, the knight probably did not care about those people at all. To her, the most important thing was who the enemy was.
