It was the third day after Jiang Qiao announced Grey Pupil's HP.
According to Jiang Qiao's statistics and Queen Mey's feedback, the number of Holy Ghost players challenging the Trial of Strength had increased from 150,000 to 450,000 within three days.
Almost half of the Holy Ghost players had started to work hard on the Trial of Strength.
There were two reasons why the Trial of Strength had changed from a Holy Ghost core player to a daily dungeon where almost all Holy Ghost players had to work hard.
The first reason was that the Holy Ghost Fund now provided the players with gaming pods for free. Players could work hard on the Path of Ascension and receive training orders from the Path of Ascension in exchange for the replacement parts of the gaming pods.
The second reason was that the Trial of Strength was extremely toxic. Apart from being addictive, there was also a feeling of stagnation. If the players could not fully control their strength, they would feel an indescribable sense of suffocation.
All in all … the number of Holy Ghost players challenging the Trial of Strength was increasing.
However, there was also a problem. Jiang Qiao did not encounter this problem, but Qi Junzi did.
Qi Junzi woke up from her gaming pod in the Sovereign's Descent villa district, which was not far from Jiang Qiao's district.
"Are you alright?"
Zhao Mingwei was already waiting for her with a fire extinguisher. Qi Junzi subconsciously stretched out her hand, and Zhao Mingwei pulled her out of the gaming pod.
Qi Junzi was kicked offline by the Dark Ember Knight, but it was too late. Qi Junzi could still hold on, but her gaming pod gave off a burnt smell, and she passed away peacefully.
"What about the replacement parts?
Can't we use them? "
Qi Junzi supported herself with Zhao Mingwei's hand. Zhao Mingwei helped her to a chair, and after sitting down, he rolled up his sleeves and opened the gaming pod with Lin Xi.
"I can't take it anymore, Sister Jun Ru. That ball of charcoal should have reminded you to go offline, right?
This time, not only the core parts of the gaming pod were burnt, but the entire gaming pod was also burnt. It's useless even if you sell it to a specialized repair shop. If you sell it as scrap metal, you can probably sell it for more than a hundred dollars. "
Lin Xi was inspecting the condition of the Gentlemen's Gaming Pod. As the saying goes, a long illness makes a man a doctor. Just like the other clubs, The Sovereign Descends had also ordered a large number of gaming pods.
Unfortunately, the VR pods couldn't bear the burden of the players' berserk energy. It could be said that the VR pods had taken on the brunt of the berserk energy that would harm the players' bodies.
There were only five people in Monarch Descends right now, and Lin Xi was the one in charge of repairing and replacing the core components. He had already repaired no less than twenty gaming pods, and there was no way he could save Gentleman Qi's gaming pod even if he had the core components.
"Are there any usable gaming pods in the warehouse?" Gentleman Qi asked as he picked up his towel and wiped the sweat off his chin.
"No more. That will be the last one. Deputy Guild Leader, I know that this Trial of Strength instance dungeon … … makes people feel good. However, can you control yourself a little?
I'm under a lot of pressure as the club's maintenance man and treasurer. "Lin Xi added," The next batch may only arrive in a week. "
"What about you?
Can I borrow your gaming pod for a while? "Gentleman Qi fell silent for a moment before looking at the gaming pods of Lin Xi and the other two members.
Zhao Mingwei's gaming pod had long since been given to Gentleman Qi, and it was the one that was broken.
"Don't even think about it."
Lin Xi drew a big cross in front of himself. "Sister Jun Ru, you should take a break too. If you work too hard, your skin will deteriorate!"
"A week … … Grey Pupil won't last that long."
Gentleman Qi didn't listen to Lin Xi. She knew that with the current progress of the dungeon, Grey Pupil's HP would be depleted within three days.
Currently, Grey Pupil's HP was only around 3,000,000.
"Don't be in such a hurry. Maybe the dungeon will refresh?"
Lin Xi didn't ask why they were working so hard. The members of The Sovereign Descends were all working hard. Gentleman Qi wasn't the only one. The reason was simple … … They wanted to catch up to their party leader Zhao Mingwei. At the very least, they would stand on the same stage as Zhao Mingwei and not be a burden to him!
Gentleman Qi was the most hardworking out of the four of them. What she wanted was not only to catch up to Zhao Mingwei's shadow, but to stand shoulder to shoulder with Zhao Mingwei.
"Will it … really refresh?" Gentleman Qi couldn't be sure.
Logically speaking, a boss in a game wouldn't be a one-off. Every game would use the same boss repeatedly.
However, Holy Ghost was a game where the world event ended once. Other than the Battle of Divinity, players wouldn't be able to meet other world bosses a second time.
Perhaps it was the same for Grey Pupil.
Grey Pupil's ability to make players go berserk was his ability as a Lord. However, Gentleman Qi had to admit that … … the dungeon Trial of Strength was the fastest way for her to become stronger.
"Let's take a break. I've ordered takeaway in the restaurant. We'll think about it after we eat. I still have things to do in the game."
As the party leader, Zhao Mingwei calmed Gentleman Qi down. Gentleman Qi nodded. She was very hungry.
Ever since she started the Trial of Strength dungeon, she rarely cooked. Instead, she joined the army of takeaways.
On the other hand, Zhao Mingwei chose to log into Holy Ghost using the standard VR equipment. The first thing he did after entering Holy Ghost was to find Miss Cat on Brandt Island.
Due to the version update, Miss Cat's popularity was much lower than it was in Brandt Island. There were also fewer players around her. She felt like she was a has-been.
"Mey … … Miss Cat, can I ask you a question?"
Zhao Mingwei walked up to Miss Cat and asked a question that wasn't part of her conversation options. "Only Grey Pupil can open the Trial of Strength dungeon, right?"
Queen May's attention was originally focused on browsing through a fashion magazine on the web, but when she heard Zhao Mingwei's sudden question, she was instantly startled and went into an explosive state.
However, she reacted quickly. She closed the holographic fashion magazine in her hand and coughed.
"That's right. The existence of the Trial of Strength, this illusory realm, was originally a way for Gray Pupil to resist your invasion and take your lives. Be it me or the great God Eater, none of us can make the power in your bodies go out of control.
Queen Mey … … or rather, Jiang Qiao had expected that there would be players asking if they could open the Trial of Strength dungeon without Grey Pupil.
Jiang Qiao's answer was no. The reason was that the God of God-Eater's power was very clumsy or clumsy. This kind of high-precision operation that involved the soul was something that neither Jiang Qiao nor Hai Lan could do.
"I understand." Zhao Mingwei walked toward the Path of Ascension after getting the answer.
On the way to the Path of Ascension, Zhao Mingwei sent a message to Storm Remnant Cloud, Mo Shigui, and some of the players he knew … … whose babies were in the Perpetual Sanctum.
The content of the message was, "If you can challenge Grey Pupil's real body now, are you willing?"
Mo Shigui and Storm Remnant Cloud quickly replied.
Both of their answers were … … no. The reason was very simple.
That was, they couldn't win.
"It's harder to defeat myself than I thought. I don't know how long it will take for me to defeat my own power incarnation. Mingwei … … why are you asking this?"
This was Mo Shigui's reply.
"Senior, Madam has already set sail to the Perpetual Sanctum through the Star Map, so I'm waiting for her to arrive at the Sanctum for the final battle. Before that, I still hope to master more of my own power."
This was Storm Remnant Cloud's reply.
The answers of his other friends were the same as Storm Remnant Cloud and Mo Shigui. That was, if he couldn't win, why would he fight Grey Pupil?
He was probably thinking of eating peaches.
After a series of questions, the answer was very clear. He found the Black Ember Knight outside the Path of Ascension. After completing a hunter's training task, he entered the Trial of Strength dungeon.
"Why did you come to this?
Your four Psychic Beasts won't attack you. "The Black Ember Knight thought that Zhao Mingwei would not come to this dungeon again.
Among the hundreds of thousands of Holy Spirits he had received so far, Zhao Mingwei was the most outrageous. According to the percentage, Caramel controlled about 80% of her power, Storm Remnant Cloud controlled 70%, and Zhao Mingwei controlled more than 90%.
His Psychic Beast could still maintain its sanity under the influence of the gray fog.
"Talk to Grey Pupil."
Zhao Mingwei directly explained his purpose of coming and used the gray fog in the hunter's consciousness to summon Grey Pupil.
After Grey Pupil recognized Zhao Mingwei, he did not waste his effort to summon the Psychic Beast in Zhao Mingwei's body to resist Zhao Mingwei's invasion.
"What Holy Spirit do you want to talk about?
Surrender? "
Grey Pupil began to be interested in this Holy Spirit who could completely control the power of the God Eater in his body.
"No, I'm just thinking …" Zhao Mingwei looked at the HP bar on Grey Pupil's head that kept decreasing and said, "How to increase your HP."
"HP?"
"You've been … bleeding recently. I don't know how to explain it."
"Your damned compatriots are constantly kidnapping my people!"
Grey Pupil directly said what Zhao Mingwei wanted to describe the HP bar. "You don't really think that traitor Alma is helping you, do you?"
"I'm actually not very interested in Alma's hidden plot. I just want to ask one thing. How do you recover your HP?
Maybe I can help you recover your HP? "Zhao Mingwei said something that made Grey Pupil think that Zhao Mingwei was going to betray him.
"You want to help me?
I do need someone to help me increase some manpower, but what's the reason for you to help me?
Holy Spirit, did you see through the truth of the God Eater? "Grey Pupil did not mind accepting a strong helper like Zhao Mingwei.
"No, it's just that my friends want to punch you a few more times. If they kill you too quickly, it won't be fun, right?"
This sentence was not said by Zhao Mingwei, but the words that popped up in the dialog box. In short, it was Jiang Qiao who said it.
