Chapter 283: Chapter 274: Fureya Again (First Update) Chapter 283: Chapter 274: Fureya Again (First Update) Deep within Biland Island.

“The Dragon Chariot’s target is the second damage-dealing echelon! Be prepared to die! All other echelons, go all out with your attacks!”

Mo Shigui was leading his entire Dancing Nuclear Guild in a battle against a Devouring Dragon.

Any dragon on Biland Island with ‘devour’ in their name or homophonous with it was not something to be trifled with.

And the Devouring Dragon they were currently challenging was second only in strength to the Island Master.

It took eighty-seven members of the elite strategy team from Dancing Nuclear to corner it into a dire situation.

This terrifyingly spiked and venom-covered dragon flapped its powerful wings and flew high, then dove straight down towards the strategy team’s second damage-dealing echelon behind.

Mo Shigui didn’t command them to run because they were now expendable.

The Devouring Dragon destroyed everything in its dive path, including thirteen players on the ground, and the last gunner player was lucky enough to stand just outside the dragon’s dive range.

But with a fierce roar, it dramatically spread its wings, and the thorns on its wings shot out in all directions, leading the unlucky gunner player to become a gravestone marked by a depiction of Popeye eating spinach.

This dive attack also exhausted the last bit of life in the Devouring Dragon, and it collapsed on the ground with a pitiful cry, turning into a lifeless corpse.

“Fureya, go check the body; everyone else start harvesting materials from the corpse,” Mo Shigui gave a simple cleanup order after the battle, and the players in the strategy group got to work.

“Guild leader, guild leader! I found five energy cores! Should that be enough to build the portal?” Fureya ran to Mo Shigui with an armful of deep blue energy cores, all from the Devouring Dragon.

Monstrous lords on Biland Island also have different levels or, one could say, breeds, with stronger dragon bloodlines yielding more energy cores.

The Island Master level monsters could produce seven to twelve or more energy cores. The Devouring Dragon was one tier below.

“That’s enough. Does anyone have any other finds?” Mo Shigui asked around.

All the members of the strategy group shook their heads in frustration.

“Nothing. I think the worst part of this Biland Island DLC is that monsters only drop materials instead of equipment… We get materials, but we have no idea how to craft them into equipment.”

Mama Has a Dog just lightly kicked the Devouring Dragon’s claw. He had just harvested two claws and a scale from the dragon, although they were all of epic quality.

But currently, very few players throughout the server were able to craft equipment from these materials, and the game officials had not released a related system either.

“How long did you use the equipment produced by the War of Divinity? Besides, materials are for enhancing equipment, right? The Spirit Sanctum’s equipment enhancement system is so interesting… Having top-tier equipment come out slowly is a good thing.” Gourmet White Snake bragged as she showed off the dragon scale broom in her hand.

Her broom originally came from the rewards of the War of Divinity’s Red Knight.

And as her life profession was a Forging Master, Gourmet White Snake had reforged this item named ‘Red Knight’s Broom of Sweeping’ countless times.

The broom in Gourmet White Snake’s hand could no longer be recognized as a broom, more resembling a giant python ready to devour its prey.

“I’m level fifty now! Hmm… Is the Spirit Sanctum’s equipment enhancement system very complicated?”

After killing the Devouring Dragon, Shi Qi’s experience just reached level fifty, which meant he could undertake the awakening quest and participate in the War of Divinity to grind for Spirit Sanctum’s ultimate equipment. He had heard from veteran forum users a long time ago that the Spirit Sanctum’s equipment crafting was extremely complicated.

As a wealthy player, Shi Qi played online games for the top-tier equipment.

However, the equipment crafting in various online games elicited comments like ‘Grind’, ‘Damn you, planners, scamming money!’, ‘Damn you, dog planners, let me upgrade to level 13 or I’m quitting!’, ‘Give me back my money! I’m done playing!’ to describe… the game’s equipment crafting system.

But it was Shi Qi’s first time hearing someone describe the equipment crafting system as complicated.

“Very complicated,” Rain Song chimed in from the side, giving Shi Qi a heads-up, “So complex it could be its own university major.”

“A university major? The Spirit Sanctum Equipment Enhancement Major?”

“It’s more of a modification major,” Mo Shigui corrected Shi Qi’s description of the Spirit Sanctum equipment crafting system.

The equipment crafting system in Spirit Sanctum indeed was very complicated, but calling it enhancement didn’t quite fit; modification was a more accurate description, akin to Gourmet White Snake’s broom.

Default epic equipment provided by the system was merely a basic foundation module, allowing players to modify equipment until even the game planners wouldn’t recognize it, though the attributes of the equipment could only be strengthened in some ways while weakened in others.

In Mo Shigui’s view, this design was very clever because it both satisfied those wealthy players who wanted to greatly enhance their equipment and enjoy a frenzy of domination, as well as the casual players who just wanted to easily get a set of ultimate equipment and have a good time with friends in instances.

“Are you all done harvesting?” Mo Shigui confirmed once more with the guild members.

Energy cores like these were a shared resource of the guild, while the materials from the monster were the personal property of the members.

Guild members could choose to donate them to the guild’s warehouse in exchange for corresponding guild benefits.

Now, the Dancing Nuclear Guild was close to finishing their portal construction; just the addition of these five energy cores to the Energy Pool, and they would become the second guild in Spirit Sanctum to build a portal.

After stripping the Devouring Dragon’s corpse down to its innards and hide, all members teleported back to the base.

“Guild leader! A hidden mission has sprung up at the initial base; it’s a hot topic on the forums too. This mission seems to be sharable, let me check…”

Busy with the construction of the base, Little Feather immediately ran to Mo Shigui and anxiously said.

“A hidden task?” Mo Shigui handed the five mother crystals to Little Feather, he was about to direct the construction of the teleportation gate, but Little Feather’s words disrupted his train of thought, “What hidden task?”

“It’s related to Fureya.”

“…”

At that moment, Mo Shigui felt that everyone in the Dancing Nuclear Guild… had turned their gazes upon him.

He wanted to shout at these guys, ‘What are you looking at me for? Don’t you all have your own Fureya?’

But Mo Shigui didn’t argue. There was a rather boring organization on the Holy Spirit Forum–the Fureya Protection Association.

This association was not a guild, but a player-formed organization that spans across guilds and small groups; one could say that every player of Holy Spirit was a member of the Fureya Protection Association.

The leading contender for the chairman of this association was Mo Shigui, yet Mo Shigui had not participated in this odd competition.

The chairman of this association was decided by a silly poll initiated on the Holy Spirit Forum, and currently, Mo Shigui’s votes were high at the top of the list.

While he was mulling over these things, several system prompts appeared before him.

‘Player Little Feather has shared a secret with you.’

‘You have obtained a clue for the hidden task: Invisible Guardian.’

‘Do you wish to accept the hidden task: Invisible Guardian?’

He was certainly going to accept the hidden task… The rewards for Holy Spirit’s hidden tasks were always very generous, so he habitually clicked to accept.

The three members by Mo Shigui’s side also received this prompt.

“Guild Leader, it seems like this hidden task indicates that Fureya will be targeted by the Abyss Legion when visiting the inner world,” said another member.

“Why is it Fureya again?” Mama Has a Dog helped Mo Shigui ask the question… he really, really, really wanted to ask.

Especially the impulse to grab the dog planner’s collar and scream, ‘Why is it always Fureya?’

After opening the forum and seeing the specific content of this hidden task, Mo Shigui really wanted to do just that.

Because today was the day he was taking his Fureya to the inner world.

The construction of the guild’s teleportation gate was also for this purpose.

Dancing Nuclear had successfully snatched control of the New World Plaza area from the hands of Cola Frenzy, so their teleportation gate could lead directly to one of the most bustling commercial districts in the upper city.

Now all the players in the guild were looking forward to taking their own Fureya to the inner world to eat ice cream, watch movies, and enjoy the feeling of dating in the real world.

And now the dog planner releases a hidden task saying… Fureya could attract the attention of the Abyss Legion if she ventures into the inner world?

The Abyss Legion was a rather troublesome monster at the current stage, and Mo Shigui wasn’t sure he could protect Fureya from their attacks with a hundred percent certainty.

“I remember the Abyss Legion is an exclusive monster from the Abyss Hunt that rewards Special Equipment! Could we initiate an Abyss Hunt by taking Fureya to the inner world?” exclaimed Mama Has a Dog excitedly about the invasion of the Abyss Legion.

This reaction was normal for players, and indeed it was fitting for players whose Fureya had never been hurt.

Most players in the Dancing Nuclear Guild were like this, gathering together to excitedly discuss what useful Special Equipment might drop from this round of Abyss Hunt.

Mo Shigui, on the other hand, walked back to the Stone Ancient Tree’s hollow alone, driven by an emotional conviction that he was absolutely unwilling… to expose Fureya to the risk of being hunted by the Abyss Legion.

But…

“Holy Spirit, you’re back? Do you think… this outfit is still suitable?”

Upon seeing Mo Shigui, his Fureya picked up the hem of her skirt with a hint of surprise.

Now, his Fureya had changed into an outfit that seemed like something one would wear on a beach holiday, complete with a sun hat and a pure white dress.

This was the first time Mo Shigui had seen Fureya change her clothes, as he had no interest in Fureya’s dress-up games.

Mo Shigui would only toss some unused clothes into Fureya’s wardrobe for her to change into if she felt cold or hot.

But all this time Fureya had been wearing the same nun’s habit, as if this doll lacked any girlish vanity. She might not have learned to dress up herself, or perhaps… she didn’t even know what the concept of dressing up was.

However, today Fureya told Mo Shigui that she not only knew about the concept of dressing herself up but had also spent a long time learning it.

Since Mo Shigui had told Fureya yesterday that he would take her out to the inner world today, she had taken a great deal of time to choose what she thought was a suitable outfit.

“Is it not good? Holy Spirit, I… I’ll change back right away.”

Mo Shigui’s silence made Fureya nervous, while Mo Shigui could only sigh deeply, handing her a Fureya Guidestone and saying,

“Your clothes are on backward. Change again and I’ll take you out.”

Mo Shigui knew that this doll lacked common knowledge in many areas, but she was trying hard to learn.

He didn’t know how far she would progress, but now Fureya was already experiencing emotions of loneliness and anticipation; she was no longer that doll in the Cathedral of the Resurrected, devoid of desires and solely obeying the mandates of the Fate Church.
