Chapter 323 - Chapter 323 Chapter 313 How Old (1st Update)

Chapter 323: Chapter 313: How Old? (1st Update) Chapter 323: Chapter 313: How Old? (1st Update) The next day.

After confirming the game objective of “Kidnapping the Magic Thief,” the entire team of Active Nucleus also began to take action.

The first step was for the elite strategy members of Active Nucleus… to collectively head to Pirate City to purchase the coordinates of the Magic Thieves from Drake.

When all the members of Active Nucleus arrived at the Pirate Council Hall in Pirate City, Drake was busy filling out something called “Large Task Application Form” given by an agent.

Lady Calamity and Lizardman Como were also filling out the application.

“What place have you set your sights on? Let me have a look,” Drake curiously glanced at Lizardman Como’s application.

Lizardman Como protected his application with his tail like a top student who didn’t want to be copied during an exam, which left Drake with no choice but to turn his gaze to Lady Calamity.

However, Lady Calamity was even more direct; her right hand was writing non-stop on the application, while her left hand pointed a gun at Drake’s forehead, as if saying if you dare look again, I’ll pull the trigger.

This hardcore anti-cheating method forced Drake to give up on snooping on his allies’ looting plans and start drafting his own looting mission.

There were many relics guarded by Magic Thieves and lord-level dragons on Melted Black Island, most of which were guarded by lord-level dragons.

Melted Black Island had devoured countless civilizations over its long life, and these civilizations’ relics had been compressed into its belly.

Therefore, the underground of Melted Black Island is an enormous space that leaves one in awe, and this complex, multi-layered space contains innumerable treasures, which are the targets of the planar pirates’ raids.

But the information about the treasures and how to enter the relics is very important intelligence, so important that the three major pirate groups do not share this information with each other, and naturally, they don’t share their raiding activities either.

Jiang Qiao had given them this application form… to facilitate them in issuing large-scale raiding tasks to players.

Large-scale raiding tasks are equivalent to the main storyline tasks for the planar pirate faction, characterized by the participation of the leaders and crew members of the three major pirate groups.

Once players accept the task, they directly board the pirate ship and wait for the leaders to set sail.

“You’d better write fast, our new members are already anxious outside.”

Drake took out a bag of plunder tokens, about a hundred of them, and threw it into his Large Task Application Form.

The application form instantly ‘swallowed’ the bag of plunder tokens; after Drake had paid the reward, the content of the application form was revealed.

“Large-scale Raiding Task: Robbery of the Melted Black Ruins.

Client: Poison Hook Pirate Group Leader Drake.

Description: The Melted Black Ruins is a forward base where the Magic Thieves forge their weapons and armor, and the ruins were likely once a dwarf civilization’s relics, buried with countless treasures. The likely enemies encountered in the ruins include Magic Thief Medes, Magic Thief Kesier, Magic Thief Nanno…

Task Reward: Planar Pirate Contribution Value +4100, plunder tokens X100…

The task is under review.”

The hundred tokens here were replicas issued by Jiang Qiao… used to exchange for equipment made by Jiang Qiao himself, if these tokens really originated from these planar pirates.

It is estimated that moving Pirate City itself wouldn’t be enough to satisfy all the players.

And the “under review” mark didn’t last for two seconds before it turned into “review passed, task can be published,” after which Derek stood up with the Large Task Application Form in hand.

He walked to the edge of the Pirate Council Hall, where a group of Spirits had already been waiting for a long time; there were air walls deep in the Pirate Council, so they couldn’t enter.

Holding the task application, Drake directly posted it on a wall named “Task Commission Panel,” and he quickly observed a change of expression on the faces of those spectating Spirits.

“Is this a main storyline task?”

“A reward of a hundred tokens–could that at least exchange for a plunder ring?”

The players all saw this newly updated large-scale task, and they started discussing whether to take on this task, while Lady Calamity immediately followed behind Drake.

Lady Calamity’s posted bounty was also for the Melted Black Ruins because she knew that dispersing the numbers of Spirits at this time would be unwise.

According to the statistics provided by Jiang Qiao, there were only one thousand three hundred twenty-seven Spirits who had joined the planar pirate faction, and a large portion of these Spirits were still immersed in the side quests of Pirate City and couldn’t extricate themselves.

In comparison, the League of Gods had already recruited over three thousand Spirits! This number was truly making Lady Calamity want to post a large task to blow up the League of Gods.

But… the profits from blowing up the League of Gods were much less than from looting the ruins!

The preparation for this large-scale looting task would take two days, and Mo Shigui, having confirmed that the names of the Magic Thieves he was hunting were on the ‘wanted list,’ immediately chose to take on the task.

……

Inside the Active Nucleus stronghold

Jiang Qiao did not participate in this pillaging mission… not all members of the Vibrant Nucleus were involved. Jiang Qiao was now gathering inside the Vibrant Nucleus stronghold with players like Xia Shan, Little Feather, and the gourmet White Snake, who all had master-level lifestyle skills… discussing how to trap those Magic Thieves.

“Isn’t a trap just digging a hole in the ground, then covering it with a bunch of grass or something? At most, use a rolling ball that could crush someone to death.”

The gourmet White Snake’s idea of traps all came from movies, things like pit traps, rolling boulder traps, and poisoned arrow traps were already the limit of his imagination.

“This is the world inside a game, White Snake… with the holy construction system so powerful, why don’t you use your imagination?” Little Feather said confidently.

“How should I use my imagination? I can only build a tinderbox for houses. Unlike you, you can easily build a castle, big shot.”

The gourmet White Snake complained… his specialization was equipment modification, and he even now wanted to grind more pillaging missions on Black Tide Island to get equipment, but was assigned by Mo Shigui to study traps for the Magic Thieves with Little Feather.

“Let me give you an example.” Little Feather used the stronghold’s editor to remove the block under his feet, creating a deep pit. “How do you plan to get across this pit?”

“Can’t you just use the Instant Teleportation skill or walk around it?”

The gourmet White Snake, while speaking, simply bypassed the deep pit, clearly effortlessly and cheerfully.

“No! Suppose there are walls on both sides of the pit, and you cannot use the Instant Teleportation skill, what would you do?” Little Feather asked.

“The Magic Thieves won’t think that much, right? If there’s a wall, just smash it. We have so many Instant Teleportation skills, just copy one casually.”

Xia Shan quietly said some answers by the side, making Little Feather somewhat uncomfortable; creating a ‘maze’ to trap those Magic Thieves was indeed a difficult task.

The maximum health points for buildings constructed by players were only from three hundred thousand to five hundred thousand, and this was after Jiang Qiao had absorbed the construction materials from the players and allowed these materials to give up their offensive properties to achieve such health points.

The Magic Thieves could easily destroy these buildings, but what if they weren’t built by players?

“He looks like he’s about to cry, you guys… just play along with him.”

Jiang Qiao had an idea in mind, so he quietly spoke to Xia Shan and the gourmet White Snake, asking them not to tear down Little Feather’s setup.

“Jump over it! Surely just jumping over it would work!” The gourmet White Snake reluctantly gave the answer Little Feather wanted to hear.

“Then try jumping over it now.”

Little Feather made a welcoming gesture, and White Snake’s expression became a bit subtle, as her profession, a magic scholar, certainly did not mean that her agility was so low that she couldn’t jump over a small pit.

Even in reality, she could easily jump over the pit, so she took a step or two back, made a graceful leap, and then her head hit an invisible block above the deep pit.

At that moment, Jiang Qiao should probably have heard a clear coin ‘ding-dong’ sound, right?

Regardless, White Snake hit the invisible block and fell into the deep pit, looking bewilderedly at Little Feather standing above.

“How about that!” Little Feather looked down proudly at Jiang Qiao and Xia Shan.

“So stupid.” Xia Shan murmured quietly.

In fact, Jiang Qiao also wanted to ask ‘how old are you?’, but Little Feather’s idea seemed viable to Jiang Qiao.

“How old are you to be playing with this!” The gourmet White Snake angrily climbed out of the deep pit. She pointed at the invisible block that she had knocked loose and shouted, “The Magic Thieves could destroy this with just one hit! What use is it!”

The invisible block only had a health value of one hundred points, not to speak of the Magic Thieves, even players could destroy it with a very ordinary strike.

“We could strengthen the building materials a bit.” Jiang Qiao shared his thought.

“You can’t strengthen them; the health points of the building materials only increase when stacked. A single building material only has so little health points, this was just an idea.” Little Feather himself seemed somewhat disheartened.

I don’t need you to tell me about the setting as the Holy Spirit’s game designer! And your setting is from the last version!

“I read on the forums that there’s an NPC in the Gods’ Alliance named God of Casting, he might be able to help us.” Jiang Qiao said.

“I know that God of Casting. A bunch of forum veterans went to him to strengthen their equipment, only for it to get smashed with one strike. Now a bunch of vets are hunting him down.” The gourmet White Snake, as an equipment modification enthusiast, naturally knew all about NPCs that could strengthen equipment.

God of Casting was an NPC discovered by players yesterday. When the players thought they could have him strengthen their equipment, God of Casting was not modest; the Holy Spirit’s equipment shattered with every strike of his hammer.

Nonsense! The players’ equipment was made of high-density Hai Lan Creation Energy aggregates, crafted by the players themselves.

The other deities couldn’t modify them at all. The only outcome if they tried was zero health points and then a BOOM explosion.

Sure, Devouring God is one of the most offensive deities in the star chart, but not the strongest in defensive power. Perhaps the players couldn’t ask God of Casting to strengthen their equipment,

But using the materials from Biland Island to build some blocks with super high defensive power and health points, Jiang Qiao thought it was feasible.

“Let’s first go check out the situation in the Gods’ Alliance.” Jiang Qiao suggested.
