Team Monarch Descent, participating.
Player: Happy Game, Zhao Mingwei, Psychic.
Daydreaming - Lin Xi, Launcher class.
Gentleman Qi, Li Junru, Swordsman.
Baili Moyan, Xiao Xingchuan, Prayer.
Traceless Snow, Ning Feng, Assassin.
When Zhao Mingwei handed the list to Jiang Qiao, the first five were all veterans of Monarch Descent. The sixth was a new face to Jiang Qiao.
Student Zhu, Hidden Blade, Student Zhu, Berserker. That's right … Zhao Mingwei added the 13-year-old primary school Berserker into his team.
"Have you guys decided where you're going to live?"
In the real world, Zhao Mingwei was eating skewers with the Monarch Descends group of five at a roadside stall. Zhao Mingwei had used his phone to sign up for the Saint Ghost's official website, and he had also used his phone to contact Hidden Blade in Brocade Gown.
But now, these five professional players, who used to be called legends of China, had completely lost everything. Not only that, but they also owed a lot of debt.
Lin Xi calculated it himself. His penalty amounted to 15,000,000 RMB, Gentleman Qi's was 12,000,000 RMB, and the other two players had exactly 10,000,000 RMB.
Including Zhao Mingwei's 30,000,000 RMB penalty, they could be considered the upgraded version of the Bankrupt Three Sisters, the Bankrupt Five!
Jiang Qiao couldn't help but sigh. If the fans of The Sovereign Descends were to see their favorite contestant in such a pathetic state, they would probably crowdfund their support.
Moreover, Jiang Qiao was the one who paid for today's barbecue.
"Live in an internet cafe?" Lin Xi voiced his thoughts and glanced at Zhao Mingwei, who was drinking his soy milk.
Zhao Mingwei had been living in an internet cafe for almost half a year ever since he left Monarch Descent. When it came to internet cafe experience, Zhao Mingwei was definitely the best of the best.
"I don't mind." Gentleman Qi also nodded, indicating that when in Rome, do as the Romans do.
"I haven't sold off the property I won in the Black Tide Island battle. The income from the livestream will be settled next month. If I live in an internet cafe, I can definitely save some money for training equipment. What do you think, guild leader?"
Zhao Mingwei did not seem to have any intention of letting his teammates stay with him in the Internet Cafe. It was as if his teammates had sacrificed their futures to follow him out of The Sovereign Descends.
This made Zhao Mingwei take the Holy Ghost League very seriously. He even consulted with the Silver Alliance on how to draft the contracts for the players.
But for Zhao Mingwei, these rules and regulations in real life … were too difficult.
"Have you forgotten about the Inner World?" As he spoke, Jiang Qiao fed him a skewer of crispy bones and added milk to the one beside him.
She hadn't eaten in the real world for a long time. She had even forgotten the skill of eating skewers. She still needed Jiang Qiao to feed her. Hai Lan, who was in ghost form, looked unhappy. Jiang Qiao felt that he should make her a midnight snack or two when he got home.
"Isn't the Inner World Challenge only for lunch?"
Of course, Lin Xi knew that the Inner World Arena Challenges allowed him to win all kinds of vouchers, but in his mind, these vouchers could only be used to exchange for small things like food and clothes.
"The rewards for the Inner World have been updated a long time ago."
Jiang Qiao opened up the Holy Ghost Cloud Player app on his phone. This app also had a very important function, which was to display the rewards for the surrounding shops in the Inner World on the map.
"If you guys occupy this place, it should be enough for you to train," Jiang Qiao showed the rewards for the Inner World on the map to the members of The Sovereign Descends.
The guardians of the Inner World were also constantly updated by Jiang Qiao. In the beginning, they were God's Chosen Ones. Later on, they were NPCs that Jiang Qiao made himself. At the same time, they were also updated with all kinds of fancy rewards provided by the sponsors of the Inner World.
The rewards that Jiang Qiao showed everyone were the best rewards that the boss of the Night Scamper had provided after joining the Holy Spirit Fund!
"What the f * ck?
Winning a 300-square-meter villa against a boss for half a year?
Is the Holy Spirit serious about this reward? "
Lin Xi couldn't help but exclaim when he saw the reward for the guardian of the area named "God's Chosen Ones", even though he had been through a lot, he couldn't help but exclaim.
"If you beat Thorne, you'll get 630,000."
Xiao Xingchuan, who had been silently chewing on a chicken claw, interrupted. This player was considered an old hooligan in The Sovereign Descends. In fact, he was even more of a hooligan than Lin Xi. However, as a support player, he understood the essence of hooliganism. It could be considered a personal style in the game.
"Thorne's 630,000 is completely shady, okay?
Let me tell you, Thorne is too much!
How can there be such an overpowered boss?
If it's difficult to beat, we can still complain about the design of the boss. But how can there be a boss that can crush the players with skills?
There's no place to complain. "Lin Xi started to talk nonsense, probably because he had too much to drink.
Jiang Qiao, as a useless producer, said … Thorne's strength has nothing to do with me!
I can't even beat this guy with my own account.
"Black Holy Spirit, don't you feel guilty playing this game?
If it wasn't for the Holy Spirit Foundation, our team leader would have starved to death on the streets … "Gentleman Qi said.
"This area and reward has just been released. If you guys want to fight for it, hurry up. Also, I've helped you guys summarize the rewards for winning the VR equipment. Even though they're all difficult, they shouldn't be too difficult for you guys, right?"
Jiang Qiao sent a list of the rewards in the Inner World to Zhao Mingwei. Unknowingly, the rewards in the Inner World had expanded from food coupons to an all-purpose store.
If a Holy Spirit player wanted something, they could just look at the rewards in the Inner World. Whether or not they could beat the boss was secondary.
Just as The Sovereign Descends were discussing which Inner World Guardian they should start with, Jiang Qiao received a message from Thorne.
"Agent, can I participate in the Holy Spirit Challenge you mentioned?"
‘？？？’
Thorne's message caused Jiang Qiao to send a series of question marks over.
"Who is it?" Not More Milk asked curiously when he saw the change in Jiang Qiao's expression.
"Nothing … Nothing, I have something to do."
Jiang Qiao found a lame excuse to avoid the crowd and found a secluded corner to type like crazy.
"You can participate, but are you serious?" Jiang Qiao asked.
"This has nothing to do with whether I'm serious or not. It's just that a few guilds in the Holy Spirit have asked me … if I'm interested in joining forces with them to participate in this competition. I'm not interested in forming a team, but I'm very interested in killing. So, I want to know what you think about me joining a team of Holy Spirits." Thorne replied.
"That's a bit troublesome, but my answer is absolutely no!"
Jiang Qiao directly rejected Thorne. Thorne was now equivalent to the Holy Ghost's combat power ceiling. It couldn't be said to be the ceiling in terms of numbers, but the ceiling in terms of game technique.
If Thorne joined any club's team, the scale of victory would tilt towards that team!
However, Thorne's message to Jiang Qiao made Jiang Qiao realize something.
It had been a year since the Holy Spirit server had been open, and players had basically figured out the Holy Spirit system. The Holy Spirit system's biggest feature was … As long as you were eloquent enough, charismatic enough, and triggered enough hidden conditions, you could recruit even the strongest NPC.
Madam Calamity was a classic example. As the leader of a faction, she was able to marry Sweeping Away Cloud and held a grand wedding with the system's blessing.
This was something that other players didn't even dare to think about!
But the Holy Spirit had done it, so why couldn't Thorne recruit them?
In fact, Thorne wasn't considered a very strong NPC because his HP and Attack Power were too low. Take the Knight of the Lion for example. The Knight of the Lion had 4,000,000 HP, and a single throw of the Dragon Slayer Lightning Spear could destroy a small army. Slaughtering a Lord-class Dragon was only a matter of time.
However, Thorne couldn't do it. He only had 120,000 HP, and the only way to deal damage was with the sword in his hand. Thorne didn't display any extraordinary destructive power.
Therefore, in terms of NPC strategy, Thorne couldn't compare to the Knight of the Lion at all.
But the Holy Spirit League was different!
This was a competitive competition, and Thorne was definitely an extremely strong NPC, the kind that was boundlessly strong.
"Why don't you create your own team and participate?"
Jiang Qiao didn't plan to let this Immortal idle. After all, Thorne was the final Boss of the promotional cinematic for the new season of "The Feeble".
Moreover, the number of challengers for Thorne had been slowly decreasing recently because the appearance of the Path of Ascension had given the Holy Spirits a new target.
Right now, the only players who were still challenging Thorne were Caramel and White Emperor from Team White Sword, but they were also busy trying to get the qualifications for the Path of Ascension.
"Team?
I don't have any teammates. "
"I can help you find one. Right, are there a lot of Holy Spirits trying to recruit you over there?"
Jiang Qiao realized that Thorne must have sent a message to Jiang Qiao to ask about it because there were a lot of players trying to recruit him.
"Yes, agent. I've recently learned a new word, 'cause trouble'. Don't tell me you want me to cause trouble again?" Thorne already had a bad premonition.
"Why do you say cause trouble?
It's to motivate the Holy Spirits to challenge you!
Just wait … I'll go over and see what's going on over there, "replied Jiang Qiao.
