"Guild leader!
Don't even think about hiring her. We don't have the money to feed her anymore. "
Fluffy Rabbit had been taking care of the guild's affairs recently, including the resources needed for rebuilding and the funds for the guild's construction.
As the temporary head of the household, Fluffy Rabbit deeply felt the price of food, rice, oil, and salt. After Ye Linna became an NPC of the Holy Spirit, she could live on the food of the Holy Spirit's original world, but she couldn't eat too much every day.
However, when the boss behind the scenes of the Core Guild heard that his lady could only eat tasteless' white buns' every day, he waved his hand and sent Fluffy Rabbit to 4396 to buy food with the word 'Otherworld' on it. When he returned, he would have a Chef player cook for Ye Lina.
Ye Lina herself didn't know how expensive the tasty food she ate every day was, but Fluffy Rabbit knew that Ye Lina's monthly meal was equivalent to two months of Fluffy Rabbit's salary.
Raising another Ye Lina already made Fluffy Rabbit feel the financial pressure. He needed to develop the settlement's agriculture and animal husbandry. How could he raise another Xellar?
He might as well change the Core Guild's settlement into a large pig farm. Even a large pig farm wouldn't be enough to feed a single Xellar.
"I know. The food requirement is 1,000. She's obviously not a character that can be hired."
Mo Shigui squatted down and used Detection to examine Xellar's detailed data. Players' Detection was classified as a Life Skill, not a Combat Skill.
The Holy Ghost's Life Skills and Combat Skills were slightly different. Combat Skills were leveled up based on skill points, while Life Skills were leveled up based on the number of times they were used.
Mo Shigui's Detection was at the Master level. Most players had Detection at the Master level because it was the most commonly used skill.
"A Lord-class NPC?
Level 53. This is definitely an NPC that can't be hired. Otherwise, it would destroy the game's balance. "
After obtaining Xellar's detailed data, Mo Shigui's first reaction was that Xellar was definitely not a character that could be hired.
"But when we talked to her, the option to ask for employment would pop up. I almost clicked on the option to hire her a few times. It was really scary," Fluffy Rabbit said with some lingering fear.
"A requirement of 1,000 units of food is very likely an employment option that will dissuade her. Even if someone is stubborn enough to hire her, they probably won't be able to bring out her true potential."
After playing so many games, Mo Shigui had gradually learned to think from a game designer's point of view about the purpose of a character's design, as well as what kind of main quests this character could issue.
"Why haven't I heard of the Crystal Hunters before?
Who knows? "
Mo Shigui looked at the prefix of Xellar's character. As far as Mo Shigui could remember, the only important NPCs on this island were Daddy Donner and Miss Cat. The other two were the NPC from the opposing faction, the Spell Stealer.
Other than that, the storyline of Brandt Island was very thin in Mo Shigui's eyes. However, the construction of Brandt Island and the hunting of giant monsters allowed Mo Shigui to find the urge to continue playing after staying up all night playing games.
Therefore, if Mo Shigui had to rate the expansion pack for Brandt Island, he would give full marks for the new gameplay, but he could only give a passing grade for the storyline.
"I know, I know. It seems to be a faction that just appeared yesterday. According to the analysis on the forum, it seems to be a faction that is hostile to the Spell Stealers. It comes from a world outside of Brandt Island. This morning, a Crystal Hunter came to talk to me for a while, saying something about fighting the Spell Stealers together," Fluffy Rabbit recalled.
"I've sent the forum post to you," Yu Zhongqu, who was at the side, directly sent all the posts discussing the Crystal Hunters on the forum to Mo Shigui.
"Chairman!
Three more NPCs have spawned at the stronghold's entrance. They are all Crystal Hunters! "
A player in charge of guarding the entrance shouted toward the stronghold.
"How's the construction of the stronghold's fortifications?"
Mo Shigui did not look at the posts that Yu Zhongqu had posted. Now that there were ready-made Crystal Hunter NPCs, he could personally check the various options of those NPCs.
"The three Blackstone Arrow Towers have been completed. To collect the materials for the Arrow Towers, we spent a lot of resources, but the effect is very powerful!
One arrow can deal around 10,000 to 20,000 damage. "
Fluffy Rabbit pointed at the Blackstone Arrow Towers standing beside the high walls of the Leaping Nucleus guild. The blueprints of these three Arrow Towers were all produced from the Blackstone Volcano Instance Dungeon in the plane of the Holy Ghost.
The Arrow Towers were originally designed to hunt down dragons. Compared to the two-meter-long Blackstone Arrow Tower, a human unit was still a little small.
"Get ready for battle, then go out and talk to the NPCs."
It was not that Mo Shigui had never seen a situation where neutral NPCs suddenly turned hostile while chatting. There was no such precedent in the Holy Ghost game, but he did not want his guild's stronghold to be destroyed for the second time.
Today was the third day of the summer competition. The elite clearers of Leaping Nucleus could take a day off at the hotel. So now, even if they opened a three-Lord-tier Instance Dungeon in front of the guild's stronghold, Mo Shigui was confident that he would not … lose too badly.
Jiang Qiao followed behind the clearers of Leaping Nucleus to the stronghold's entrance. The three Crystal Hunters standing at the entrance were all Chosen Ones. They were the God's Chosen One, the Shadow Goddess's Chosen One, and the God of War's Chosen One.
They were determined to get Shelar back. Jiang Qiao looked at the situation and thought about what kind of conversation he could use to get the Vivacious Nuclear Guild to temporarily protect Shelar.
"Dear Holy Spirits, one of our companions is lost on Brandt Island. We can sense that she is in your camp."
The first to speak was the God's Chosen One. He was a very handsome man, so handsome that he was disgustingly handsome.
However, in terms of Charisma, Jiang Qiao still felt that the Boiling Meat in the Nuclear Guild's Black Wok character and image were more Charismatic.
The God's Chosen One's eyes were fixed on Fluffy Rabbit when he greeted them.
The God's Chosen One had come to Leaping Nucleus once before. At that time, the person he talked to was Fluffy Rabbit, the acting leader.
Obviously … this God's Chosen One was deeply attracted by Fluffy Rabbit's beautiful appearance and mistakenly believed that Fluffy Rabbit was the manager of Leaping Nucleus.
But as he stared at Fluffy Rabbit, Mo Shigui, who was wearing a full suit of black heavy armor, walked out of the crowd.
Mo Shigui's character was a full 1.85 meters tall. He was the perfect example of a real man playing as a main tank. The God's Chosen One was only 1.75 meters tall.
So Mo Shigui stood in front of the crowd and blocked the three Chosen One's line of sight.
Mo Shigui glanced at the dialogue window that popped up when he approached the three Chosen One. There were also dialogue options.
There were a total of five dialogue options. Mo Shigui browsed through the five dialogue options and chose the most direct one.
The fifth option was "Crystal Hunter Xellar is indeed in our stronghold, but she doesn't seem to have come here because she got lost."
Mo Shigui chose this option, but what he asked was, "What do you want to do with Xellar?"
His Freya could sense Xellar's emotions.
What if the three Crystal Hunters brought Shelar back for some interrogation or directly killed him? Wouldn't his own Freya have to endure the same emotions and panic?
Mo Shigui knew that this was a setting for Freya to join the main storyline of Brandt Island.
But it was still the same situation. If Freya felt uncomfortable, Mo Shigui would also feel uncomfortable. It was like a knot in his heart, even if this uncomfortable feeling was just a setting in the game's text.
