"First bow to heaven and earth … second bow …"
"What the f * ck are you bowing to?"
Deep Dream punched the Modao Swordsman's head. Deep Dream had just logged in today, and her screen had been flooded with posts from the Dragon Speaker and Dragon Tamer sisters.
However, in her heart, she only acknowledged Freya as her wife … as well as Queen Mey and Miss Cat.
However, before she logged in, Deep Dream glanced at the official website's announcement and the latest strategy guide. The official website had clearly stated that the Pet System was already being worked on, and it was expected to be officially released after players conquered the other two areas of Brandt Island.
Pet System!
When Deep Dream was farming monsters on Brandt Island, she had always wanted to catch a Dragon to play with. Now, the official website had finally announced the details of the Pet System.
Although it was just a notice, it was enough for Deep Dream to bring her friends to explore the snowy plains!
However, not long after she logged in, before Deep Dream could tell them about exploring the snowy plains, the Modao Swordsman threw an NPC in front of her.
"Where did you kidnap this girl from?"
Deep Dream looked at the NPC who was tied up by the Modao Swordsman with a rope and thrown in front of her.
Under most circumstances, players could not touch the NPCs in the Holy Ghost, let alone tie them up. However, this NPC's head was yellow, indicating that she was a neutral unit.
Players who were neutral units could do many things to them, and kidnapping these neutral units was the most basic operation.
"We did not kidnap her. She appeared at the entrance of the stronghold. Once she heard that we were bandits, she tied herself up with a rope."
The Modao Swordsman was not a noob player. Just by looking at the level above this NPC's head, he almost called out to his brothers to fight the final Boss of the Dungeon.
"She ran to the entrance of the stronghold and tied herself up?
What kind of weird hidden quest is this? "Deep Dream said as she used Detection on the female NPC.
"Crystal Hunter Xellar, Level: 53, Lord-tier Creature, HP 3132002/3132002."
"Turtle, you're telling me that a Lord-tier monster came to our village?"
After looking at the NPC's stats, Sinking Dream discovered that she wasn't some low-leveled storyline NPC. She was a Boss that required a 50-man team to defeat in any dungeon.
Once this NPC became the enemy's target, Sinking Dream didn't know if the 60 or so players from Blackwind Stronghold would be able to kill her.
"Where?
Swordsman, are you the Train King? "
"Kidnapping a Dungeon Lord to the main city is not bad. Blade Master is awesome."
The spectating players also expressed their concern for this neutral NPC who had come looking for them.
"Brother Meng, this NPC came to us on his own. There must be some sort of hidden quest." Mo Dao Blade Master expressed that the players around him were slandering him.
"Let me ask."
Deep Dream walked up to the Crystal Hunter named Shelar. From her appearance, Shelar looked like a shepherdess, a shepherdess who had just herded her flock of sheep home, only to be kidnapped by bandits who appeared out of nowhere.
However, the Shepherdess who was tied up by the bandits did not panic. Instead, she looked expectantly at the bandit leader, Sleepy Dream, who was walking towards her.
"Do you know what this place is?"
Sinking Dream began to immerse herself in the role of Blackwind Stronghold's King. After all, everything … was for the sake of the livestream.
"I know, Blackwind's stronghold. Are you the owner of this place?
If you guys are bandits, shouldn't you lock me up in jail? "Her voice also contained some emotions of anticipation.
Sinking Dream felt that if she were to move out of jail now, she might very well roll into it herself.
What kind of f * cking side quest is this?
"A Shepherdess with masochistic tendencies?"
"Just tell me what you want."
Sinking Dream was also the type of person who would skip the dialogue while watching the storyline. Only when she was talking to a few NPCs would she calm down and carefully look at their dialogue and options.
This Shepherdess was obviously not one of them … Moreover, Sinking Dream couldn't find a cage that could hold a Level 50 Lord NPC.
If Sinking Dream really captured this Shepherdess to be the wife of the stronghold's King, it would be no different from capturing a Godzilla to raise in their main city. Who knew when Godzilla would burn down the stronghold they had painstakingly built.
"I don't want anything. I just want to stay here. I heard that you guys are still recruiting … a wife for the stronghold's King. I think I'm qualified for this position." She continued to recommend her various benefits to Sinking Dream.
Isn't this way of thinking too high?
This was the first time Sinking Dream saw an NPC who was trying so hard to join a player's faction. However, Sinking Dream felt that there was something wrong with a Level 50 Lord taking the initiative to throw herself into her arms.
"Lady Dream!
Stay away from her! "
Another NPC in Blackwind Stronghold, White Feather, had just returned from hunting. When he saw Crystal Hunter Shelar, he immediately drew his longbow and aimed an arrow at Shelar's head.
"King, this … Second Madam and Third Madam are fighting?
Is this considered a backyard fire? "
"What are you talking about?
Isn't Third Madam Miss Cat? "
Sinking Dream rubbed the space between his eyebrows and blocked out the gossip of the surrounding players. White Feather was now in front of him, the longbow in his hand already drawn to the fullest.
White Feather was currently very nervous. Sinking Dream could see that this elf's forehead was already covered in cold sweat. It was as if in White Feather's eyes, the Crystal Hunter called Shelar wasn't a Shepherdess, but a giant monster that was breathing fire.
"White Feather, you have an interactive storyline with her?"
Sinking Dream guessed that White Feather also had some exclusive storyline mission, and now White Feather was clearly showing hostility towards Shelar.
"I don't know her, but she's the Chosen One of the Gods of this world."
White Feather tried his best to suppress his anger. "The Gods of this world will do anything for their ruling position and believers, and these Chosen One are the executioners who carry out the Gods' filthy will!"
"This is your exclusive storyline dialogue?
But why didn't I receive a quest?
Sigh, now isn't the time to do your side quest!
White Feather, put down your bow first. "
Sinking Dream actually wanted to leave and gather his players to attack the Snowfield map. Right now, the eight major guilds were planning to attack the Snowfield map. The Snowfield map was like a gold mine, and the gold mine here was referring to the various creatures and hatchlings on the island. Sinking Dream only wanted to make a fortune … He wasn't in the mood to do the NPC's other side quests.
He could do Miss Cat's side quest, but White Feather's side quest … Goodbye.
"…"
White Feather slowly put down his bow under Sinking Dream's command. Shelar didn't argue with White Feather's words. She still looked at Sinking Dream with an expectant gaze that said, "Take me away!"
"You are Crystal Hunter Shelar, right?
I don't care what your background is, but let me ask you what you can do first. "
Sinking Dream once again half-knelt in front of Shelar and said, "We're going to the Snowfield area of this island to farm monsters and level up. Can you help us fight the monsters?"
"To the monsters on this island, my power … is a kind of tonic, so attacking the monsters on the island will only make them stronger. If it's a Spell Stealer, I can help you fight it off!"
Shelar told Sinking Dream the reason why the Crystal Hunters couldn't carry out quests on this island alone.
The monsters on Brandt Island that were infected by the Crystal Disease were much stronger than the Spell Stealers. The Spell Stealers couldn't withstand the Chosen One's power and would instantly die. However, monsters like the Velociraptor and Thunder Dragon were different. The Crystal Hunters were delicious tonics to the Lord-tier monsters on the island, even if a God came.
"It's fine if you can't help fight the monsters, but you have to give them buffs?
I'm beating your mother up. "
Sinking Dream knew that a Level 50 Lord-tier follower would definitely have some limitations, but she didn't give up. She continued to ask Shelar, "Then what else can you do?"
The Shepherdess thought for a while and finally came up with the best answer. She looked at Sinking Dream with her watery blue eyes.
"In terms of appearance, I don't think … I'll lose to that elf," she said seriously.
Why are you comparing beauty with White Feather?
He's a guy!
Sinking Dream really wanted to drag Queen Mey and Freya in front of her and tell her, "Give up!
You can't beat my first and second wives in terms of beauty. "
But did this NPC only have his face to show off?
"Brother Dream, why don't you just recruit her? She's still a Level 50 Lord-tier follower. How cool would that be?" a friend suggested.
"That's true. Hmm … there seems to be such an option."
Just when Chen Meng was considering whether or not she should recruit her and make her the gatekeeper of the Black Wind Stronghold, the option 'Make a recruitment request' popped up in the chat between Chen Meng and her.
"They really secretly updated the recruitment system!"
Sinking Dream knew that after the two sisters were recruited by the players, there would definitely be a recruitment option when the other players talked to the other NPCs on this island.
Sinking Dream touched the recruitment option with her finger, and a small notification popped up when she touched the option.
"Crystal Hunter Shelar, Recruitment Requirement: None. Stronghold Living Requirements: 1 house, 1 bed, Otherworld Food x1000 units/day. Stronghold Living Secondary: Unknown."
What the heck?
Sinking Dream looked at the row of data. The house and bed requirements were normal, but the food requirement was a bit excessive.
Sinking Dream didn't know that the NPCs in the camp would have such requirements.
So she quickly opened the attributes of her stronghold. Under the defense, beauty, and greenery attributes, there were three resource values: mineral reserves, wood reserves, and food reserves.
The Black Wind Stronghold's food reserves were 53 points. This was the lowest value of all the reserves. These 53 points were all contributed by White Feather's recent hunting.
"Crystal-infected White Pearl Chicken x53" Contributor: White Feather.
If one of these 53 portions of chicken was used to make a dish, it would be enough for a normal person to eat a meal. So that meant … Shelar had to eat a thousand times more food than the other NPCs?
Deep Dream shifted her gaze to Xellar again after reading this part.
"I really just want to live here, even if I'm locked up in jail." Shelar looked at Sinking Dream with her big, pitiful eyes.
"…"
Sinking Dream grabbed Shelar's collar and dragged her to the entrance of the Black Wind Stronghold. Then, she kicked her out.
The Black Wind Stronghold's entrance was closed. Shelar, who was lying outside, could still hear Sinking Dream shouting, "Fanboys, we're going to slay the dragon next!
Get ready! "
The Shepherdess or Crystal Hunter laid her face on the cold ground and looked at the closed entrance of the Black Wind Stronghold. Endless sorrow rose in her heart.
