Spinning Cloud was eating a bowl of fried rice in the cafeteria of the base. The aunty of the base usually got off work at that time, so if he missed dinner, he could only order takeout.
Most professional players in the club had the habit of ordering takeout, but Spinning Cloud didn't … because takeout in the upper city was too expensive.
Most importantly, the food made by the aunty of the base was much better than takeout.
Where were the others?
By the time Spinning Cloud finished his third bowl of fried rice, he realized that the other players in the club had not come to the cafeteria. Everyone else gathered for dinner at this time.
Just as Spinning Cloud was wondering what was going on, Black Pot Boiled Meat suddenly walked past the entrance of the cafeteria with a lit cigarette.
Black Pot Boiled Meat walked past the cafeteria, but he seemed to have discovered something … He took a few steps back to the entrance of the cafeteria, and turned his head to look at Spinning Cloud, who was holding a bowl of fried rice.
The instant he saw Spinning Cloud, he choked on the cigarette in his hand and coughed non-stop.
"F * ck!
Why are you here? "Black Pot Boiled Meat was shocked to see Spinning Cloud.
"What's wrong?" Spinning Cloud was confused. Today's training should have ended.
"You f * cking started Madam Disaster's main quest, and then secretly logged off?" Black Pot Boiled Meat ran to Spinning Cloud and looked at the brat with a pained expression.
"Why did Madam Disaster become a wild monster?
And the quest reward … I don't think there's any valuable equipment. "
Spinning Cloud didn't know about the NPC Raid Guide. He had been fighting Thorne the entire day, so when he saw that Madam Disaster's Favorability Quest did not include any valuable equipment, he immediately logged off.
To make matters worse, Spinning Cloud didn't understand why Madam Disaster would become a Holy Ghost's enemy!
"It's not a problem of equipment!"
Black Pot Boiled Meat took out his phone and opened up a live stream. The title of the stream was "Kill a Level 60 Lord outside Black Flame Volcano."
In the stream, Madam Disaster was surrounded by a large group of Holy Ghost players. She only had a third of her HP left, and her body was covered in wounds. She looked to be in a sorry state.
"Did I … do something wrong?"
The only NPC who cared about Holy Ghost was Freya, but when he saw Madam Calamity in such a state, it was the first time he felt his heart ache for her.
"Your mistake is that you didn't complete the Favorability Quest. There's nothing wrong with us killing the wild NPCs that spawn, but you should hurry up and complete the Favorability Quest!"
"This mission …"
"It's open to the entire guild!
But we can't take it!
Everyone in the guild thought you were doing a quest, but in the end … "
Black Wok Cooked Meat forcefully patted Remnant Cloud's back. Remnant Cloud hurriedly put down the bowl in his hands and ran towards the participant's practice room.
…
Lady Calamity had a feeling that her plan had been seen through by the God Eater. Just then, her ability to tear space had been completely sealed by some sort of power.
But Madam Calamity was glad that she had a backup plan. Even if she died in this world, her consciousness would be reborn as a ghost on the Laughing Goddess.
He just needed to spend a lot of money to exchange for a new body from the God of Plunder.
But Madam Calamity did not want to die … because if she died, she would not be able to take Remnant Cloud with her!
As the King of Plunder on the Star Map, Madam Calamity would not allow a single failure in her plundering operations.
However, her body's condition did not allow her to do so. The power of a Holy Ghost was truly terrifying … She could not use conventional methods to heal many of the injuries that the Holy Ghost had inflicted on her body.
The pain in her body reminded her that if she continued to pester Remnant Cloud, she would soon become a ghost captain.
Fortunately, Remnant Cloud, who had been unconscious all this while, suddenly opened his eyes.
"You're finally awake!
Kid! "
Madam Calamity pulled the trigger of her gun and killed an Assassin who tried to get close to her. Then, she shouted excitedly at Remnant Cloud.
Remnant Cloud looked at the players surrounding Madam Calamity in a daze, as well as the wounded Madam Calamity … When Remnant Cloud came online, another system notification popped up before his eyes.
[Quest objective updated — Escort Madam Calamity to the Halo.
]
The Halo?
Remnant Cloud scanned the chaotic battlefield and saw a glowing halo at the edge of the battlefield. However, Madam Calamity could not see the halo at all.
He immediately turned around and looked at the dialog box with Madam Calamity.
"Remove these handcuffs!"
Remnant Cloud shouted at Madam Calamity. This time, Jiang Qiao did not help him with the voice-editing. Madam Calamity's HP was close to red, so Remnant Cloud's voice became a little more forceful.
"You won't escape so easily, kid."
Madam Calamity did not know why the Holy Ghost's attacks could not harm Remnant Cloud, but in this chaotic situation, once the handcuffs were removed, it would be easy for him to escape.
[Hint: You are not eloquent enough to convince Madam Calamity. Do you wish to use Lockpick?
Success rate: 5%.
]
I'll try!
Remnant Cloud could not care less. Madam Calamity only had 500,000 HP left, which was a heavy injury for her. She was only a step away from death.
He had to escape this godforsaken place before Madam Calamity could move.
[Hint: Lockpick successful!
]
Did I succeed?
Remnant Cloud heard a crisp clack. The handcuffs that Madam Calamity had placed on his arm were instantly removed. At that moment, not only was Remnant Cloud stunned, but Madam Calamity was as well.
The power of the Goreater God had destroyed the handcuffs!
As expected, the Goreater God was behind this!
Madam Calamity grabbed Remnant Cloud's collar. She still thought that Remnant Cloud was trying to escape.
"Kid!
Don't even think about going anywhere! "
Just as Madam Calamity was threatening Remnant Cloud, Remnant Cloud grabbed Madam Calamity's arm.
At that moment, a single option popped up in the dialog box, and Swirling Scattered Cloud chose it.
"Come with me!
Woman! "
Rolling Remnant Cloud grabbed Madam Calamity's arm and ran towards the circle of light. Along the way, he picked up a pile of Madam Calamity's belongings.
[Madam Calamity's Heart x42]
"There are Holy Ghosts everywhere!
Where can we go? "
Madam Calamity snapped out of her daze from Juan Remnant Cloud's words. Juan Remnant Cloud immediately unleashed his Awakened skill, Flowing Cloud Phantom Extermination. The spear in his hand, along with the spear shadows conjured by the Traveling Cloud Technique, instantly sent out several beams of Peerless Spear Qi!
Remnant Cloud was in Peaceful Mode … but the collision volume of the Holy Ghost players was still there. Remnant Cloud used this collision volume to instantly open up a path through the wall of Holy Ghost players with his Awakening.
"Let's go!"
Remnant Cloud completed this smooth combo. He grabbed Madam Calamity, who was staring blankly at him, and pulled her along as he ran.
But just as they were about to reach the halo … an Eagle-eyed player who came out of nowhere fired a fatal shot. This shot had a self-damaging and penetrative effect!
The bullet completely pierced through Madam Calamity's left leg, and she fell to the ground halfway through her run.
"Damn it!
I hate … "Madam Calamity punched the ground angrily. She struggled to get up, but Remnant Cloud ran back and lifted her body with his hands …
Remnant Cloud was glad that PvP was not allowed around the volcano. Otherwise, he would have been killed countless times by the Players!
Madam Calamity's injuries gradually worsened. In the end, Remnant Cloud withstood the Players' attacks and dragged Madam Calamity into the halo.
The moment Madam Calamity's figure disappeared into the halo, the Players who had participated in the crusade against Madam Calamity received a special reward.
[Madam Calamity's Purification Progress 83%. Reward: Plunder Tokens x43.
]
Jiang Qiao had cleverly added the words "Corrupted by the Abyss" in front of the ID of Madam Calamity whom the Players were attacking. This way, the Players would think that Madam Calamity had been infected by the Abyss, which was why she had become the Players' target.
As for Madam Calamity …
"Cough, cough, cough …"
When Madam Calamity regained her senses, she instantly realized that she had returned to Brandt Island!
But her ability to travel through time and space had been sealed … Which part of Brandt Island was this?
She endured the pain of her wounds and looked around. She saw a silver-haired girl with a puzzled look on her face standing in front of her.
"Holy Spirit, who is she?" A gentle voice rang out in the room.
At this moment, Swirling Remnant Cloud's brain went into a blank state, because this was his Freya's room!
His Freya was standing in front of him, looking at him and Madam Calamity, who was lying on the ground.
Why did the quest lead to his Freya's room?!
Remnant Cloud really wanted to grab the darn game designer by the collar and question him.
"Hey … Kid … What's your relationship with this woman?"
Madam Calamity dragged her wounded body and sat down against the wall. Judging from the layout of the room, it should be inside a tree hole. Madam Calamity could not sense any signs of life from the woman in front of her.
A puppet?
A ceramic artifact?
Madam Calamity did not sense any hostility from the strange girl, but she felt more like a God Eater than a Holy Spirit!
A puppet sent by the God Eater to spy on the Holy Spirit?
Madam Calamity began to suspect the relationship between the Holy Spirit and the God Eater. In Madam Calamity's eyes, the relationship between the Holy Spirit and the God Eater was more like that of a master and a servant.
In any case, the relationship between the puppet and Remnant Cloud was not that simple.
Complaint!
Remnant Cloud's mind was filled with complaints about the darn game designer!
He wanted to go on the forum and write a ten-thousand-word essay to complain about this!
But … the most important thing now was to appease Madam Calamity. He did not want her to take out a gun and shoot his Freya.
