Chapter 298 - Chapter 298 Chapter 287 The New Camp (2nd Update)

Chapter 298: Chapter 287: The New Camp (2nd Update) Chapter 298: Chapter 287: The New Camp (2nd Update) Jiang Qiao returned home from the first hospital when he had just opened the door, Hai Lan sprang up from the sofa and ran over to him.

“Is that spirit called ‘extra cream no extra charge’ okay?” Hai Lan asked, placing her hands on Jiang Qiao’s shoulders.

“She’s fine… but why were you in such a hurry to have me come back?”

Jiang Qiao had wanted to stay at the hospital longer with ‘extra cream no extra charge’ to prevent anyone from approaching her to collect debts, at which time it might not only be ‘extra cream no extra charge’ using the cross to deal with those debt collectors, Zhao Mingwei would probably also mercilessly deliver a set of Dragon and Tiger Roars.

But this situation hadn’t arisen, instead, it was Hai Lan who had a problem and was constantly urging Jiang Qiao to hurry home.

“The gods of Biland Island are causing trouble again! Queen Mei is confronting them!” Hai Lan said.

“Just at this time… I understand.”

Jiang Qiao sat on the sofa, closed his eyes, logged into the spirit’s account, and directly activated GM privileges to teleport next to Queen Mei.

Queen Mei was at the core of Biland Island… the Crystal Grounds.

This location had already been set by Jiang Qiao as off-limits to players.

Queen Mei and her five knights had been waiting here for Jiang Qiao for a long time.

“Agent.” Queen Mei let out a small sigh of relief upon seeing Jiang Qiao’s figure appear.

War God Urd and the Earth Mother Goddess stood not far away, looking at Queen Mei with complex expressions… holding a pure white dragon egg.

[End Dragon Egg

Legend*Pet

Description: the core consciousness of Biland Island, the testament to the rebirth of the most powerful Apocalypse Dragon, the Island Master of the island. As long as Biland Island exists, the Apocalypse Dragon will repeatedly re-emerge on this island in an endless cycle.]

“Devouring God, thank you for fulfilling your promise in advance.” War God Urd bowed deeply to Jiang Qiao as soon as he approached.

“Let me guess, you want me to destroy this egg?” Jiang Qiao pointed to the End Dragon Egg held in Queen Mei’s arms.

This egg was the core of Biland Island… if the power of the Devouring God completely destroyed this egg, not to mention annihilating Biland Island, it could at least be heavily damaged.

“After the death of the Apocalypse Dragon, the influence of Biland Island on our world has greatly diminished, but now there is a greater danger that requires the assistance of your spirits,” said War God Urd.

“I feel like you really treat our spirits like tools. Shouldn’t saving the world be something you gods should do?”

Jiang Qiao could vaguely guess what the greater danger Urd was referring to… it was the Black Tide Island that was slowly drifting towards this world.

If Black Tide Island settled in this world, then the power it would draw from this world would be more than Biland Island… it wouldn’t be as insignificant as a small baby’s discomfort.

“If the commission is to destroy Black Tide Island, then the reward won’t be cheap,” Jiang Qiao said directly.

“Black Tide Island? Is that what you call that chaos? There is a coalition formed by the gods of other worlds on that island, and my request is for your spirits to join this coalition to help my fellow gods destroy that Black Tide Island,” War God Urd said.

“Your fellow gods?” Jiang Qiao listened to War God Urd’s description, the gods of this world seemed to still be in contact with other gods on the star map.

War God Urd paused for a moment and then gestured towards someone behind him.

“I know I can’t stop your stride, Devouring God, thus the core relic of Biland Island will answer your doubts,” War God Urd said, pointing towards that wall behind him whose health bar was infinite.

The dragon blood of the Apocalypse Dragon was the key to entering that wall, and Queen Mei, holding the dragon egg, could easily enter it.

The Magic Thieves who had been behind the wall had already vanished, Jiang Qiao glanced at the debris and fragments on the floor; they had left in a hurry.

There was no trace of those Magic Thieves on Biland Island, and when Jiang Qiao looked towards Queen Mei, she also shook her head indicating that the Magic Thieves hadn’t fled towards Biland Island.

Under the guidance of War God Urd, Jiang Qiao arrived at the core area of Biland Island, a ruin standing with six stone steles, one of which was already shattered, but Jiang Qiao felt very familiar with this place.

Out of the six well-preserved steles, three emitted an aura that was very familiar to Jiang Qiao; he walked over to one and wiped the dust off its surface.

The inscription on this stele was ancient, but Jiang Qiao still recognized what was written on it.

“Annihilation,” Jiang Qiao read out the keyword repeatedly mentioned on this stele; this one belonged to the Annihilation Legion!

Realizing something, Jiang Qiao quickly moved to another stele; its surface had no dust and was well-maintained, apparently, the Magic Thieves living here took good care of this stele.

The second stele documented Chaos, which is the native form of the Biland Island race, the ‘god’ that the Magic Thieves followed.

The third stele was already shattered and broken; Jiang Qiao didn’t need to guess to know that this belonged to the Devouring God who had eaten himself to death.

As for the fourth stele, it suppressed a very chaotic aura, originating from the Abyss.

“Annihilation, Chaos, Devouring, Abyss… Were these four factions allies in the past?” Jiang Qiao’s hand left the Abyss stele, looking towards the fifth one, which was a faction Jiang Qiao had never seen before.

The name of this faction was Plunder… and as Jiang Qiao placed his hand on it, the Plunder faction emitted a faint glow.

Jiang Qiao, upon touching the stone tablet named Plunderer, could feel that it was activatable… as for what activation did.

“Devouring God, if you don’t want Biland Island to fall into chaos, you best not activate that stone tablet,” War God Urd seemed also not to have expected the stone tablet to still be functional.

Jiang Qiao obediently released the stone tablet named Plunderer and looked towards the remaining two stone tablets, which were named Void and Extinction.

“Why do they all sound like codes for major villains?”

At this point, Jiang Qiao was fairly certain about the factions represented by the seven tablets… namely Annihilation, Chaos, Devouring, Abyss, Plundering, Void, and Extinction.

These seven factions all struck Jiang Qiao as villainous factions, each capable of being the ultimate boss on its own.

“They are all Destroyers on the star map that must be eliminated…” War God Urd told Jiang Qiao, “The shards of the Devouring God sealed on Black Tide Island absolutely must not fall into the hands of… any of these factions, and I would rather place my trust in you. My Divine Chosen Ones have informed me… that there are benevolent beings among the Spirits, so please allow the Spirits on Black Tide Island to assist the gods in resisting these Destroyers.”

Jiang Qiao fell into contemplation, but his thoughts were soon interrupted by two stone tablets that suddenly lit up with a blinding glow.

The two tablets were named Plunderer and Extinction, and they had been activated from the moment Jiang Qiao entered.

At the moment the two stone tablets were activated, War God Urd readied himself with a golden spear in hand, while Queen Mei’s five Knights also summoned their weapons.

Yet, Jiang Qiao raised his hand to signal them not to act rashly.

“Followers of the Devouring God, do not believe the lies of these damned impostors.”

From the Plunderer stone tablet strode a figure… dressed unmistakably like a pirate, his pupils radiating a deep blue light, and his bald forehead bearing three scars that showed his skull, his voice so low that it was slightly suffocating.

“Technology Plane pirates?” Jiang Qiao recalled a term mentioned during the briefing on Black Tide Island’s factions.

“Bandit, thief, plunderer, the star map has many names for us, but we consider ourselves merely merchants trading with our god, and everything has its price!”

After stepping out from the stone tablet, the Technology Plane pirate tossed something identical to a coin at Jiang Qiao, who caught it smoothly.

[Plunder Token

Exchange Item

Description: The only item through which Technology Plane pirates trade rewards with their god of plunder. Every ship in the pirate fleet bears a statue of the god of plunder, to which they offer loot from various planes. After a certain period, these offerings become such tokens, which, if accumulated in sufficient number, allow the pirates to attain power rivaling that of the gods.]

Examining the ordinary-looking coin, Jiang Qiao suddenly remembered a very convenient plot device from when he used to write novels… the exchange system.

So these pirates all had an exchange system hack running?

“We’ve collaborated countless times, followers of the Devouring God,” the pirate’s deep voice resonated in Jiang Qiao’s ears, “and now I earnestly request that we cooperate once again to tear off the fake faces of these damned impostors!”

The impostor the pirate referred to was presumably War God Urd, who angrily wanted to strike down the pirate with his spear.

Yet once again, Jiang Qiao raised his hand to stop him.

Because from the Extinction stone tablet emerged a figure… that Jiang Qiao found somewhat troublesome.

It was a mechanoid, humanoid in form, its chest embedded with a core between Magic Power Plane and Technology Plane, its scarlet pupils staring directly at Jiang Qiao.

“Mission target… descendant of the Devouring God confirmed, executing task program…” The mechanoid slowly advanced towards Jiang Qiao, while Queen Mei handed over the dragon egg to the Wolf Knight and drew her twin swords to block in front of Jiang Qiao.

“Embrace.”

The mechanoid stopped in front of Jiang Qiao, its arms sharp blades, the blades stained with dark red blood, yet it spread its arms as if truly intending to embrace Jiang Qiao.

“Damn these caretakers also discovered the teleportation method,” the pirate spat violently, but made no move to attack.

“Caretaker?” Jiang Qiao used a scouting spell to check the name of the mechanoid.

[Technology Plane Extinction Unit T152, Level: 60, Lord-level creature, 4,100,000/5,000,000, Description: Created by an unknown civilization initially intended to exterminate all living beings on the star map. However, after a programming error, they became nurturers, and any being captured by them would turn into… a fat house within less than a year.]

“Followers of the Devouring God, do not concern yourselves with this caretaker robot anymore, the battle on Black Tide Island is urgent, and we hope for your support,” the pirate said.

“These pirates have never had any credibility. Would you, Holy Spirit, trust a group of thieves?” War God Urd saw Jiang Qiao preventing his attack, growing somewhat impatient.

“Descendant of the Devouring God, cooperation, reproduction, life would be better,” the voice of the Extinction Unit gradually transitioned from inorganic mechanical to… a gentle and pleasant female voice.

Felt… rather intelligent?

“Can you all stop arguing? If you need to argue, go back to the base point. No matter how good your terms are, what matters are the Spirits under my command.”

Watching this stand-off between a human, a god, and a mechanoid, Jiang Qiao felt it was indeed time to properly sort out the faction system on Black Tide Island.

“The Spirits under my command?” The pirate didn’t understand what that meant, but War God Urd’s face showed an expression of intense pain.

He anticipated what Jiang Qiao intended to do.

“Recruitment. I have many powerful Spirits under my command. If you are looking for Spirits to help, then under the rules I set, use whatever means possible to win their hearts,” Jiang Qiao stated.
