"Thank you for your hard work today."
Mo Shigui let out a long sigh of relief when he saw the notification that the Deep City Instance Dungeon had been cleared.
Blacktide Island's dungeon raid strategy was very different from the previous patch's. In the previous patch, a dungeon could be repeated dozens of times. However, Blacktide Island's dungeon would disappear after it was cleared. Every dungeon was different.
Not only were the traps different, but even the monster configurations were different. This rendered one of the Players' strongest trump cards, the "backdoor", useless. That was why every Instance Dungeon in the Blacktide Island was an extremely exhausting expedition.
The expedition would last one to two days. Fortunately, with the help of powerful Planar Pirates, the Instance Dungeon's difficulty was high, but not low enough to be rated as easy.
"The strength of you Holy Spirits has never disappointed me, no matter what."
Madam Calamity excitedly walked past the Spell Stealer's corpse that had been reduced to ashes and grabbed all the treasures in the treasure vault.
Mo Shigui ignored Madam Calamity's cinematic and directed his guild members to loot the materials from the two Lord-tier Dragons that were the final Bosses.
Half of the treasures in the treasure vault belonged to the Sacred Spirits, but most of them could not be used. It was better to hand them over to the Planar Pirates in exchange for Plunder Tokens.
There were two ways to obtain equipment from the Blacktide Island raid. The first was to kill the Spell Stealer, which would drop the most basic equipment, ranging from White to Orange equipment. The second was to exchange Plunder Tokens for Faction equipment.
Every Spell Stealer killed represented a chance to draw an Orange equipment. This was also one of the main reasons why the major guilds were hunting down the Spell Stealers.
While the members of Jumping Nucleus were busy looting the corpses, Madam Calamity finished counting the treasures in the ruins at the speed of light. She then walked up to Mo Shigui, who was still checking the party records.
"I have something to ask you, leader of the Sacred Spirits!" Madam Calamity said.
"Hidden Quest?
What's the matter? "
Mo Shigui's gaze immediately shifted from the chat window to Madam Calamity's conversation options. Leaping Nuclear Guild and Abyss Temple Guild had basically been following Madam Calamity's pirate crew in dungeons.
In the process of clearing dungeons, there would occasionally be additional side quests such as' Rescue the pirate crew ',' Pirate betrayal ', or' Chase the thief '.
This time, when Madam Calamity suddenly spoke to Mo Shigui, Mo Shigui felt that he had triggered another side quest.
"Sweeping Away Clouds?
I remember that's what you called the Holy Spirit. Why didn't I see him in the ruins today? "
Madam Calamity had no intention of avoiding the topic. She went straight to Mo Shigui and asked him about Cyclone Cloud's whereabouts. Ever since the day she ended her negotiation with Deng Heath, the Jumping Nuclei had indeed formed a team to rescue her.
But after that, she hadn't seen Swirling Remnant Cloud's figure again. She hadn't seen him in today's ruins raid either.
After the ruins were cleared, Madam Calamity couldn't hold back her impatience any longer. She directly asked Mo Shigui about it.
"Little Wen?"
"Guild Leader Ying, I know about this. Little Wen raised Madam Calamity's favorability level to Heart Desire yesterday. At that time, the NPC Raid event hadn't even started!"
Fluffy Rabbit, who was in the know, jumped out of nowhere and said, "Guild Leader, your current situation is the same as your Freya running out of the tree hole because she hasn't seen you for a long time, right?"
How could it be the same?
Mo Shigui looked at the pre-selection options in the chat window with a conflicted expression. He knew about the "NPC Raid Battle" event, and he also knew that Boss Yin wanted to take first place. As Boss Yin's employee, he definitely couldn't give her any trouble.
Most importantly, Madam Calamity was an SSR-ranked character!
Madam Calamity was the only one in the Planar Pirate faction who had this rating. If he wanted to take first place in the event, Madam Calamity was a character that he had to clear!
The event's rating was based on the guild. Cyclone Cloud did his best to raise Madam Calamity's favorability level to Heart Desire. Mo Shigui had to make sure that his options wouldn't lower Madam Calamity's favorability level.
"Cyclone Cloud is busy with training. He will be participating in a very important competition soon."
Mo Shigui looked at the three options and chose to tell the truth. "I'm afraid you won't have time to see him in Blacktide Island for a while."
The professional players of Pulsating Nucleus had already begun their preparations for the World Competition in a month's time. It wasn't just Remnant Cloud … … Boiled Black Wok had recently gone to look for Thorne for advice. Remnant Cloud would not be able to participate in the Instance Dungeon Crusade for at least a month.
"Training?
Competition?
Holy Spirit!
I don't have time to wait!
Where's his training ground?! "
Madam Calamity wasn't a fan of boring long-distance relationships. Planar Pirates always barged into other people's houses to take what they wanted!
"If you have any requests for him, I can just call him over," Mo Shigui said.
"It's nothing … It's just …" Madam Calamity had been speaking rationally and confidently, but halfway through her sentence, she felt like something was stuck in her chest. She was stammering. "I don't need anything from you.
"Just what?" Fluffy Rabbit immediately started to make a fuss.
"Enough with the nonsense!
Holy Spirit!
Just tell me where he's training!
In your world?
Where is he in your world? "
Madam Calamity wasn't very good at quibbling. When she said that, she was already using a threatening tone!
"Let's go back to Pirates' City first. Call him over immediately."
Mo Shigui felt that with Madam Calamity's current demeanor, she would point her gun at his chin in the next second and yell, "Hand him over!"
This made Mo Shigui realize the seriousness of the situation. So, Mo Shigui immediately sent a private message to Swirling Remnant Cloud. But when Mo Shigui sent the message, he realized that something was wrong.
The friend list showed that Swirling Remnant Cloud's status wasn't 'Challenging Thorne', but 'Black Flame Volcano (Heroic) Instance Dungeon.'
'Why did you run over to Black Flame Volcano?' Mo Shigui asked.
'I've already used up my Challenge Vouchers for today … Then, the boss told me to lead the branch's newbie group.' Swirling Remnant Cloud immediately replied.
‘？？？’
Mo Shigui could only send three question marks to express his confusion. A professional level 1 player from Leaping Nucleus was sent to lead a newbie group?
And it was on the eve of the World Competition?
If this was any other club, the person who made the decision would probably be scolded to death by the boss and then fired!
But Leaping Nucleus was the boss' decision …
'How long do you need to clear the dungeon?' Mo Shigui asked.
'Maybe four hours. The newbie group is a bit messy, and I'm not in command. Coach Song, what's the matter?'
'…'
Mo Shigui looked at Madam Calamity, who was impatiently pointing at him. If Mo Shigui told Madam Calamity what Swirling Remnant Cloud said, Madam Calamity would probably pull the trigger of her gun.
"Swirling Remnant Cloud's situation is a bit complicated. Let's wait in our world first."
In the end, Mo Shigui could only make a compromise, and that was to let Madam Calamity wait in the stronghold where Leaping Nucleus was located.
