Hai Lan ordered a hotpot, Dragon Tail Hotpot.
The hotpot made from the tail of a giant dragon could only be eaten on Brandt Island. Hai Lan was enjoying it by herself, but Wan Xiang and Zigaogao could only watch from the side.
Because they used a very ordinary VR device to log in, they couldn't taste the tea and the food, so they couldn't join in the battle with Hai Lan.
Thus, this table of people sat there awkwardly, watching Hai Lan eat her hotpot non-stop.
Mo Shigui was much calmer than Jiang Qiao imagined. Even when Remnant Heart crazily exposed Mo Shigui's background, Mo Shigui's fiancée Nancy didn't show any dissatisfaction.
She didn't even mention anything about Freya. Jiang Qiao eavesdropped on the conversation between Mo Shigui and Nancy. They drank and talked about the past, as if they didn't meet in the world of Holy Spirit, but in the bar in the real world.
Remnant Heart kept trying to cause trouble. Even though Mo Shigui's eyes said, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll kill you in three days!", Remnant Heart still didn't know how to cherish his life.
When Mo Shigui and Nancy chatted, he would also talk about Mo Shigui's past experience in Holy Spirit, and occasionally made Nancy cover her mouth and chuckle.
That's it for today.
Jiang Qiao looked at Hai Lan's bulging cheeks, and Hai Lan noticed Jiang Qiao's eyes. She used her chopsticks to pick up a piece of Dragon Roll, as if asking Jiang Qiao if he wanted to eat it. Jiang Qiao shook his head, indicating that he had no appetite.
Now, Jiang Qiao only needed to wait for Hai Lan to finish her meal before he could leave this strange restaurant.
However, things never went as Jiang Qiao hoped. When Hai Lan was halfway through her meal, Jiang Qiao received a video call request.
This video call request came from a player who wanted to add milk without increasing the price. The moment the request popped up, Jiang Qiao immediately clicked on the ignore button.
"It's about time we went to level up. Shall we not disturb the Guild Leader?"
She knew that Jiang Qiao would ignore the communication request from the people who added milk but didn't increase the price because they were there.
In fact, this was also a way of reminding his sister that it was better to quit and not be too attached to something.
However, Wan Xiang's personality was good, but when she got stubborn, no matter who tried to persuade her, it was useless. She also had a competitive spirit that didn't need words to be spoken.
So, when Wan Xiang signaled to leave with Wan Xiang, Wan Xiang raised her hand and asked the Beauty Goddess to add another menu. This was her way of telling her sister that she still wanted to stay here for a while.
"Is it about that nanny?
She seems to be looking for you for something urgent. Answer it! "Hai Lan was still chewing rice in her mouth, and her words were a little hesitant.
However, this didn't stop Hai Lan from caring about the latest news about the Holy Spirits. As the frontline customer service for the Holy Spirits, the Holy Spirits had earned a lot of Divine Crystals for the Holy Spirits.
If Hai Lan was the God of all Holy Spirits, then the Holy Spirits who added milk without increasing the price might be the God's favorite believer.
So, when Wan Xiang sent a video call to Jiang Qiao, Hai Lan still hoped that Jiang Qiao would answer it.
You said it yourself!
Jiang Qiao felt like he was about to explode. He directly chose to accept the video call request sent by the milk without increasing the price.
A translucent interface instantly appeared in front of Jiang Qiao.
"President, can you see it?" The Holy Spirits without increasing the price directly occupied the entire interface of the video call.
"I can see it … but you're too close to the camera. Take a few steps back," Jiang Qiao said.
"What about now?"
The Holy Spirits without increasing the price followed Jiang Qiao's instructions and took a few steps back, revealing half of her body. Looking at the decorations around the room, she should be temporarily staying in the Perpetual Sanctum.
"It's okay now. What's the matter?" Jiang Qiao asked.
"It's just that the Perpetual Sanctum has been on lockdown recently. They seem to be searching for me. That Miss Rose said that I should go back to Brandt Island for a while to avoid the limelight. Also, my network signal hasn't been very good recently."
Unexpectedly … The Holy Spirits without increasing the price had come to talk to Jiang Qiao about serious matters!
"According to the game's settings, you should be able to use the teleportation beacon directly, right?"
Jiang Qiao could actually think of many ways to avoid the limelight for the Holy Spirits without increasing the price. The simplest and most straightforward way was to go offline. However, after going offline, the Holy Spirits without increasing the price would still leave traces of the God-Eater God. At that time, the Perpetual Sanctum's hunters would camp a wave of corpses, and the situation would become very troublesome.
"No, Rose tried … the teleportation beacon from the Perpetual Sanctum to Brandt Island has been locked."
Locked?
Jiang Qiao used his GM authority to sense and found that the connection between him and the Holy Spirits without increasing the price had become very weak.
In the simplest way, the Holy Spirits without increasing the price and the Holy Spirits without increasing the price might be cut off soon. It was very likely that she would directly enter standalone mode.
If that really happened, it would be a disaster for both Jiang Qiao and the Holy Spirits without increasing the price.
This might be a countermeasure by the Perpetual Sanctum when they realized that the Holy Spirits without increasing the price was causing trouble in their nest.
"But Guild Master!
The Breeders sent me an email saying that they have a solution! "
"What solution?"
This was the first time Jiang Qiao knew that the Holy Spirits without increasing the price was contacting the Breeders. However, the Breeders had recently been convinced by Alma to assist in the reconstruction of the Perpetual Sanctum. The Breeders had quite a lot of black technology. After all, their people were the highest level of creation in the Sanctum.
Just as Jiang Qiao was wondering if the Breeders were going to issue another main quest, the expression on the Holy Spirits without increasing the price made Jiang Qiao put down the coffee cup in his hand.
"First of all, Guild Master has to marry me first."
"…"
Jiang Qiao was very glad that he did not drink anything while chatting with the Holy Spirits without increasing the price. At this moment, he was already choking on his self-proclaimed high score. Evening Fragrance, on the other hand, was still holding a glass of juice and drinking with a straw in her mouth.
Strangely, Remnant Heart, Mo Shigui, and Nancy, who were chatting happily at the other side of the bar, also stopped talking at the same time.
At this moment, it seemed that everyone was waiting for Jiang Qiao's reply.
"Why?"
Jiang Qiao still wanted to know why the Holy Spirits could guarantee a stable connection after getting married.
"Didn't the Holy Spirits recently release some parenting system?
This system seems to be based on the Breeders' design. The Breeders said that the child is a small part of the Holy Spirit's soul that was separated and then nurtured. In other words, the child that is still being nurtured can be used as a network cable. That's the setting of my quest. "
What the hell?
Why didn't I know about this setting?
There were too many unknown things about the Breeders' technology. Jiang Qiao thought that the child that was nurtured by the Soul Fusion Facility was really just a vase, but he did not expect it to actually be useful.
"But before using the parenting system, you have to get married first. Guild Master, you're the only one on my list who has a good impression of me. Let's get married and create a network cable, and my quest will be completed."
The Holy Spirits without increasing the price used a joking tone when she said these words. It was indeed a joke.
Because this was just a game, getting married and having children in the game was just a part of the game experience for most people. It was not a big deal.
The Holy Spirits without increasing the price used the words' marriage 'and' parenting 'as her goal and tool to complete the quest.
"What do you think, Guild Master?"
As expected, Jiang Qiao received a marriage proposal. The parenting system could only be used after getting married. This seemingly normal setting ended up harming Jiang Qiao himself.
"I think it's worth a try."
Hai Lan's cheeks were still puffed up, but her voice was very clear.
"No!"
However, not long after Hai Lan's words, Evening Fragrance who was sitting next to Jiang Qiao suddenly spoke up. She realized that she had lost her composure after saying these two words. She looked around in panic.
In the end, she lowered her head and looked at the drink in her hand. She was a little uneasy.
"Huh?
Is there someone sitting next to you, Guild Master? "The Holy Spirits without increasing the price could not see the person sitting next to Jiang Qiao.
"About the quest given to you by the Breeders, I'll go to the Breeders' main city to confirm it and see if there's anything I can help you with."
While Jiang Qiao was communicating with the Holy Spirits without increasing the price, Nancy was also interested in the content of the conversation between Jiang Qiao and the Holy Spirits without increasing the price.
Therefore, she asked Remnant Heart about the Holy Spirits' parenting system.
"How can it be a real child? Although the Holy Spirits game has a high degree of realism, there's a good balance between gameplay and realism. I saw on the Holy Spirits forum that there's a faction called the Breeders. If you complete some of their quests, you'll be able to unlock this system and have a child."
Remnant Heart seemed to be gradually understanding the relationship between Nancy and Mo Shigui. They were not the kind of people who just met online. Therefore, he was a little more reserved when he spoke.
"The parenting system … I still want it … whether it's in real life or in the game."
Nancy suddenly leaned on the table and looked at Mo Shigui. "I should be able to reach level 50 tomorrow. Let's go take a look at the Breeders' map."
"Maybe not."
Mo Shigui checked the affinity between him and Nancy in the game. "The game requires two people to have an affinity of more than 50 to get engaged …"
"Why is there such a setting? The Holy Spirits game is so troublesome."
She grumbled unhappily. Mo Shigui was thinking of a way to comfort his girlfriend and tell her that she would be able to gain affection for him very quickly.
Nancy suddenly sat up and looked at Mo Shigui with her hand under her chin …
"Then what's the affinity between you and the girl named Freya?" She looked at Mo Shigui and asked.
"That's just an NPC in the Holy Spirits. Every player has one …" Mo Shigui was very calm. "Didn't you see Freya the first time you logged in?"
"Yes, I always thought that VR games were all about fighting and killing. The Holy Spirits game has brought me so many surprises. It feels like I'm in the real world."
Nancy suddenly changed the topic. She swiped her index finger across the table and said, "But no matter how real it is, NPCs can't reproduce?"
"…"
"I want a child. It might not be possible in real life, but the Holy Spirits game can …"
While Nancy was looking at Mo Shigui meaningfully, Remnant Heart stood up again and mercilessly interrupted the atmosphere between the two.
"Sister-in-law Nancy?
No, I'm at a disadvantage. Mrs. Nancy, you might have to postpone your wish for a while. I saw a post on the forum saying that there's a bug in the parenting system, "Remnant Heart said.
“BUG？”
It was not a bug. Jiang Qiao had just received a request for help from the Breeders' mother. The Breeders' base was' invaded 'by the Perpetual Sanctum.
