After Jiang Qiao and the Dark Ember Knight had decided on the second plan of attack on the Blacktide Island, he fed the Shard of Divinity to Hai Lan.
"How is it?
Is there any change? "
Hai Lan spun around in front of Jiang Qiao as if she had put on a new dress. But halfway through, her left little finger hit the sofa, and then she rolled onto the sofa, letting out an incomprehensible cry of pain.
Her IQ did not seem to have improved.
"There are changes," Jiang Qiao said.
"Where?" Hai Lan endured the pain and sat up from the sofa, looking at Jiang Qiao.
"Here …" Jiang Qiao reached out and gently pinched Hai Lan's abdomen. Hai Lan's abdomen was so big that he could pinch out a small piece of meat. "Have you gained a lot of weight recently?
As a goddess, shouldn't you be able to control your weight?
How come you even have a small belly now? "
"This … this is just one of the manifestations of my growth!
It's easy to put it away! "
Hai Lan held her breath as she spoke. She tried hard to hold back the fat on her abdomen, but she failed … Jiang Qiao felt that if Hai Lan continued to eat like this, she would really become a fat otaku.
Come to think of it, Hai Lan's clothes at home had been getting more and more casual lately. She'd started out in sportswear, but now she was wearing a singlet and cotton shorts.
However, Jiang Qiao's heart did not waver in the slightest when he saw Hai Lan's rather eye-catching attire.
Maybe it was because he had too much self-control?
Jiang Qiao did not dwell on this question. After Hai Lan ate the Shard of Divinity, Jiang Qiao could feel some subtle changes in his status as the Creator.
First of all, Jiang Qiao did possess some of the characteristics of the Abyss. It might be manifested by invading the consciousness of others, but the invasion here was limited to … letting the plane pirates on the Blacktide Island see the player's ID, health bar, and the like.
Secondly, the Level Cap of Saint Ghost's players had finally risen from Level 55 to Level 57.
Jiang Qiao had already compiled the In-Game Shop System. However, the items inside were a little messy. There were only twenty-one sets of clothing, five special mounts, and five flying mounts.
Each set of clothing was priced at 328, and the same was true for the mounts.
Jiang Qiao felt that this was a very reasonable price compared to those mobile games that required thousands of gold coins to be released.
As for the unconscionable part, it was Freya's limited clothing and Queen Mey's photobook. Well, there was no photobook for Queen Mey at the moment. Jiang Qiao actually wanted to put in a photobook, but under the threat of the Five Horsemen, Jiang Qiao had to find Queen Mey to do it after some time.
Also, Freya's outfit needed to be changed.
The clothes that the players gave to Freya at the Brandt Island base were limited to battle clothes. The clothes that the players brought with them could not be put into Freya's wardrobe.
This led to players complaining on the forum every day, "When are you going to release a Legendary item in the shape of a maid costume?"
"In?
I think we can have a Legendary swimsuit. "
Most of the clothes used in battle were meant to be cool, while the cuteness was taken up by fashion. This caused the players to pick and choose, and the best that Freya could change into was a nun's outfit called Holy Light Prayer, and it was a f * cking Legendary-grade equipment.
As a considerate planner, Jiang Qiao took advantage of the launch of the In-Game Shop to open up Freya's wardrobe. Although there were not many types, Jiang Qiao still considered modern women's clothing.
Of course, there were maid costumes … In short, when the In-Game Shop was launched, a game called 'Shining Freya' officially started its open beta.
The prize pool of 'Freya's Wardrobe' only cost ten dollars for one draw, and ninety dollars for ten draws!
It was ridiculously cheap!
As for the probability … Jiang Qiao felt that it should be very generous.
Finally, there were some props produced in the In-Game Shop … such as the Teleportation Stone and Freya's Stone of Guidance – One Hour Version. These props were limited to one purchase within fifteen days, which also ensured that the In-Game Shop would not be too useless.
The other props were very common full-service speakers, name-changing cards, fantasy drugs that could be used to create new people, warehouse expansion tools, various holographic dance steps and emoticons, and various fireworks effects. The price was also very generous. Other than the name-changing cards and fantasy drugs that were sold for two hundred dollars, the rest could be bought for thirty to five dollars.
That's right!
There were also pet eggs!
This was another important function of the In-Game Shop other than Freya's Wardrobe. Jiang Qiao decided to officially open the pet system after the release of this version.
However, the pets sold in the In-Game Shop were all cute ornamental pets with basically zero combat attributes. There was also a pet prize pool that could also draw some rare ornamental pets that had some buff skills.
The price of ornamental pets was between one hundred and fifty to two hundred dollars, and the price of the pet prize pool was the same as that of Freya's Wardrobe.
If the players wanted to obtain truly powerful combat pets, they still had to personally go to the Black Tide Island or Brandt Island to catch them.
"In conclusion, it's time to start scamming money!"
Jiang Qiao once again checked that the items in the In-Game Shop were considered complete. He directly took out the System Book and glanced at the current balance of the Holy Spirit Fund.
The balance of the Holy Spirit Fund had dropped from the initial three million to less than five hundred and thirty thousand dollars. This money was all used to pay for the players' rewards for defeating the guardians of the Inner World.
As investors, Air Bubble and Silver had made a huge profit from the popularity of the Holy Spirit Fund and the linkage. However, the contract between Jiang Qiao and them would expire in three days, so they had no intention of continuing to invest.
However, when the number of players in the Holy Spirit Fund increased in the future, relying on the advertising and investment from the manufacturers would still be a drop in the bucket. In the end, Jiang Qiao still had to rely on the players' ability to pay to maintain the operation of the Holy Spirit Fund.
After the Holy Spirit Fund became rich, more of Jiang Qiao's ideas about the Inner World could be realized.
"There are still seven hours before the server opens … Let me see."
Jiang Qiao once again flipped through the page of the System Book. Just as Jiang Qiao expected, after Hai Lan devoured the fragment of the Divine Fragment, the number of players that the server could accommodate increased by one hundred and fifty thousand!
From the original one hundred and forty thousand players to two hundred and eighty thousand. After the opening of the Black Tide Island and Brandt Island, Jiang Qiao originally could give out around one hundred and thirty slots per day. This maintenance would give out one hundred and fifty thousand slots at once.
The supply of the Creator's Energy should be able to bear it.
Jiang Qiao began to write the official announcement of the qualification for the beta test, as well as the explanation of the in-game shop function and the NPC Favorability Guide system … After the series of new content was completed, what Jiang Qiao needed to do was to expand the Holy Spirit's main world with the Creator's Energy.
The map of the main world was still too small for the Novice Village. The fragment of the Divine Fragment gave Jiang Qiao the ability to expand the Novice Village a little.
"Let's hope the Spell Stealers on the Black Tide Island don't cause any trouble during this period."
Jiang Qiao closed the System Book and entered Creator's Mode, pulling Hai Lan with him as he began his work.
…
Black Tide Island.
After escaping from the Upper City Gymnasium, Mercedes and Wen Enna returned to the Spell Stealers' base camp on the Black Tide Island in a rather sorry state.
The place where their clan lived was the underground forest inside the Black Tide Island. The crystals that glowed in the sky replaced the sun and gave life to the forest.
Completely different from the pollution of the Abyss, it looked like a very warm place.
Mercedes and Wen Enna came to an old tree with uneasy hearts … The old tree was where the Matriarch lived. They came to report the news of their defeat, but a strange man was standing in front of the old tree, thinking about something.
"From Brandt Island!
That's not where you should be! "Mercedes looked at the back and recognized the Spell Stealer from Brandt Island, Dunhisi.
"This is indeed not where I should be, but it's not where you should be either."
Dunhisi turned around to look at the two Spell Stealers who had returned in a sorry state. Mercedes was about to teach the outsider a lesson when he realized that he could not move his body at all!
"What … what did you do?" Wen Enna also realized that something was wrong with her body.
"You made a mistake. The Abyss and Chaos joined forces, and you devoured the shard of the God of Eater. The result is that the Black Tide Island has its own desires. A Chaos with desires will not be willing to protect itself. It seems that compared to your Matriarch, the Black Tide Island is more willing to choose me … as your leader," Dunhisi said.
At that moment, Wen Enna felt as if something was strangling her neck. She couldn't make a sound, but she saw a pool of blood seeping out from the roots of the ancient tree behind Deng Xiyi.
Anger turned into energy that overflowed from Wen Enna's body. A crimson chain blade appeared in Wen Enna's hand. She broke free from Dunhisi's control and swung the chain blade at him.
The chain blade did not hit Dunhisi, but it broke free from Dunhisi's control and swept up the Matriarch, who was covered in blood, behind Dunhisi.
"I won't forgive you." Wen Enna hugged the Matriarch and ran towards the outskirts of the forest after saying that.
"Are you going to test me?
The Black Tide Island? "
Dunhisi looked at Wen Enna's back and mumbled to himself, "Don't worry, I will save your people and … feed you."
