“Boss Pighead, run! This NPC doesn’t blink an eye before breaking equipment.”

While Jiang Qiao was talking to the dwarf, MacCoffee grabbed the corner of Jiang Qiao’s clothing with her hands, her eyes red as she spoke.

“Breaking equipment? I saw on the forums that the equipment the dwarfs break can be fixed just by taking it to the equipment shop for repairs. Ms. MacCoffee, why don’t you give it a try?”

Jiang Qiao had crossed paths with MacCoffee a few times… Even Jiang Qiao didn’t know exactly what was going on, but players from all eight major guilds, at least those who had a name to their credit, knew of Jiang Qiao.

This was a very strange situation, for even players whose names Jiang Qiao couldn’t remember would call him ‘boss’ when they saw him.

Jiang Qiao had pondered over the reason, and it might have something to do with Zhao Mingwei being in his guild, especially since Zhao Mingwei often followed him around, constantly referring to Jiang Qiao as ‘great god’ or ‘boss’.

This was probably a joke nickname Zhao Mingwei had used when he first met Jiang Qiao in the game.

And then… that nickname began to spread among the players.

“Equipment shop?”

Wiping the tears from her eyes behind the VR helmet, MacCoffee directly opened the God of Casting’s equipment shop.

The God of Casting was originally an NPC for selling equipment to players, and as per the convention in the game, the shop sold only basic equipment; its function was to repair players’ durability and recycle game coins.

It was the same with the shop owned by the God of Casting. When MacCoffee clicked to open it, all that was for sale was basic equipment.

The God of Casting himself didn’t know this–he was just an ordinary standing guard NPC, like the countless other functional NPCs standing guard in the world of the holy spirits.

Tasks given by these types of NPCs usually involved something mundane like killing a few chickens, and not many players would remember the name of such NPCs.

MacCoffee didn’t care about any of that. She simply clicked the ‘repair all’ option and after spending thirty silver coins to repair all her equipment’s durability to full, her broken Lion Heart Knight’s thunder spear miraculously returned to its original state!

“Is it… really fixed?” Holding the weapon that had been restored to its former glory in her hands, MacCoffee embraced her long spear and started to roll on the ground as if embracing a loved one who had been buried but had suddenly risen from the grave.

Jiang Qiao didn’t bother with the girl rolling around anymore. The God of Casting was unable to destroy the works of the Devouring God, at least… not completely.

His hammer blow had just snapped MacCoffee’s weapon, not utterly destroyed it… such minor damage could easily be repaired by an NPC shop by the players themselves.

“I think we can go inside to talk,” Jiang Qiao suggested, pointing to the shop behind the God of Casting.

Jiang Qiao could sense the hostility of the other gods toward the God of Casting… and their intention to send him away.

Initially, Jiang Qiao had no desire to get involved in the disputes among the gods, but from the perspective of the gods, he was not so much an obstructionist as a hostage of the God of Casting!

As soon as the conversation between Jiang Qiao and the God of Casting came to an end, they would find a way to deal with the God of Casting.

The God of Casting understood this as well and gave a slight nod of his head to accept Jiang Qiao’s suggestion.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve received a commission for forging building materials! Interesting! Come in and let’s talk in detail, Holy Spirit!” the God of Casting said, pointing inside his house.

Jiang Qiao took this opportunity to create a temporary hidden quest.

‘Hidden Quest*The Recasting of Building Materials.’

Quest Description: Under your eloquent persuasion, the God of Casting has revealed some crafting secrets regarding building materials. You decide to continue your investigation.

Quest Reward: Unknown.’

Jiang Qiao was currently in a team with Little Feather, Tasty White Snake, and Xia Shan.

“””

At this stage, the friction between the Planar Pirates and the Alliance of Gods wasn’t too severe, so players of the Planar Pirate faction could completely roam around in the main city of the Alliance of Gods.

“Boss, what’s your speech level at?”

Xiao Feather also received the prompt for this hidden quest.

It wasn’t difficult to trigger hidden quests in the world of the Holy Spirits, and Black Tide Island, this new map, should naturally be buried with a copious amount of hidden quests.

“Sixty-three.”

Jiang Qiao reported a level of persuasive skill that was also top-notch among frontline players, a level that Jiang Qiao had trained to himself, not even he knew why it was so high.

Therefore, under the beckoning of the God of Casting, Jiang Qiao and his group of four entered the God of Casting’s blacksmith shop, and he also casually shut the shop’s main door completely.

This scene made the cola-crazed onlookers feel that something was amiss.

“A hidden quest? Didn’t Pulsating Nucleus join the Planar Pirate faction? Why can they still trigger a hidden quest of the Alliance of Gods?”

“Didn’t you see the explanation of a conflict value in the faction introduction? The conflict value is still very low right now, both factions can freely move about, it’s just that faction rewards are absent.”

“Guildmaster, should we continue to go down and clear the dungeon?” The cola-crazed Can asked, coming over to the Bubble who had just inquired.

“A hidden quest? This is still the first hidden quest of the Alliance of Gods, let’s see what the situation is first.” Bubble was also very curious about what hidden quest Jiang Qiao had triggered.

So a group of players quietly waited outside of the God of Casting’s blacksmith shop, which made the Goddess of Beauty feel even more of a headache coming on.

You guys want hidden quests? I can distribute them to you! But that dwarf… he’s the guy who could smash your gear to bits with one hammer strike!

The Goddess of Beauty knew that the temperament of the God of Casting was that of an extremely stubborn dwarf, he had smashed the equipment of the Holy Spirits once, and there would certainly be a second time, a third time; she did not want her painstakingly fostered goodwill with the Holy Spirits to be destroyed by a few hammer strikes from that dwarf.

The thoughts of other deities seemed to be the same as the Goddess of Beauty’s, it’s just that now the God of Casting was conversing with the four Holy Spirits.

Those four Holy Spirits were the hostages of the God of Casting, they had to wait for a time when the Holy Spirits no longer paid attention to the God of Casting to force him back!

Meanwhile, inside the blacksmith shop…

“It seems you’ve incurred the enmity of other deities.”

As soon as Jiang Qiao entered the blacksmith shop, he chose a dialogue option that caused the God of Casting’s favorability to plummet directly.

Xiao Feather and the others could also see this option and simultaneously saw the prompt indicating the decline in the God of Casting’s favorability, which made Xiao Feather somewhat anxious; he opened his mouth halfway and then clamped it shut again.

That’s because his speech level was only twenty-one… In the eyes of some clever NPCs, that was the equivalent of being inarticulate.

“What’s it to me? Those greedy fellows each have their own schemes, their hostility towards me is of no consequence.” The God of Casting found a chair and sat down, looking at Jiang Qiao and Xiao Feather he said, “If you commission me to forge weapons, I’d be pleased to do it! But as for building materials, I really have no interest!”

“You can’t possibly defeat all the deities of this city, but they won’t drive you away easily. However, things will be different as soon as we leave. Here’s a piece of advice, if you want to stay for a long time, it’s best to be remembered by those Holy Spirits, and the best way to do that is to make sure there are some things they can only accomplish with your help.”

Jiang Qiao’s statement was also chosen from the dialogue box options, of course, it was to trick Xiao Feather and his group, as this option was edited by Jiang Qiao himself.

And what Jiang Qiao wanted to tell the God of Casting was… if an NPC doesn’t want to be forgotten by players, they must either have an outstanding appearance, be involved in the main storyline as a main character NPC, or possess a special system functionality.

The God of Casting couldn’t achieve the first two points, but the last point regarding special system functionality, Jiang Qiao could make it possible for him.

“Neither the City of Pirates nor the City of Gods has a single excellent blacksmith capable of forging unbreakable bricks and tiles, I wonder if you, endowed with the title of God of Casting, have such capability?” Jiang Qiao continued to ask.
