Chapter 361 - Chapter 361 Chapter 350 Celebrate (2nd Update)

Chapter 361: Chapter 350: Celebrate! (2nd Update) Chapter 361: Chapter 350: Celebrate! (2nd Update) “I’m so sorry my reputation in the Holy Spirit is so high, old guy.”

The Catastrophe Lady, who had always been able to face all her enemies with arrogance and calm, swallowed her saliva and had a bit of a choke in her voice when she said this.

She tried to adjust her emotions, but the throbbing in her heart and the heat on her cheeks wouldn’t go away.

She could guess what this feeling was, but she dared not confirm it.

Having roamed the star chart for so many years, the Catastrophe Lady’s childhood as a pirate was not at all miserable or dark; in fact, she could have anything she wanted.

Being the daughter of the previous Drytooth Pirate Group Leader, frustration was not a word in her dictionary, and naturally, not a single man among her pirate crew sparked her interest.

Juan Canyun should not have been able to awaken any romantic interest in her either. In the Catastrophe Lady’s eyes, Juan Canyun was just another ‘thing’ she was bound to snatch for herself.

She thoroughly enjoyed the process of robbery.

So, every time Juan Canyun sacrificed himself for her, it felt as though something that should belong to her was shattered by someone else!

This feeling was terrible, and along with deepening her anger towards the Magic Thief, the Catastrophe Lady also felt a bit of a protective urge towards Juan Canyun.

But just now, Juan Canyun’s shout… it made the Catastrophe Lady’s impression of Juan Canyun as an ‘object’ that was about to belong to her shift into that of… a man.

A series of emotional changes left the Catastrophe Lady somewhat unable to control her own emotions!

If she couldn’t control them, she saw no need to!

A somewhat excited smile appeared on the Catastrophe Lady’s face. She was a hedonist, and having experienced the unfamiliar sensation of… liking someone, there was no need to suppress it, but rather to fully enjoy it.

“In the Holy Spirit’s eyes, you are just a number, and even if you were killed, they wouldn’t mourn for you. But you wouldn’t believe that even if I explained, so let’s end today’s conversation here,”

Denghis Xisi made a very old pirate salute to the Catastrophe Lady.

“As long as you are willing to cooperate with us, all the treasures of Black Tide Island will be yours. If you change your mind, anything from this heap of treasure can serve as a token to find us.”

After Denghis Xisi finished speaking, his figure and the three lord-level dragons disappeared into the shadows.

The Catastrophe Lady made sure there was no danger around before slowly walking towards the pile of treasure.

To be honest, if she were an upright person with integrity, she would not accept these bribes from the treasure to prove her aversion to the Magic Thief, even at the cost of her life.

But the Catastrophe Lady was a pirate. After carefully evaluating the value of the treasures, she directly found a big hemp bag and loaded the treasures into it.

Take any treasure from the relics on Black Tide Island as one pleases?

This was indeed a highly tempting choice, like telling a vampire they could drink the blood of young girls at will.

The Catastrophe Lady even began to consider… options that would neither betray the Holy Spirit nor collaborate with the Magic Thief.

But other thoughts occupied the Catastrophe Lady’s mind first.

Had Juan Canyun really been safely teleported out? What should she do when she sees him later? Do I have dust on my face or other strange thoughts?

It’s curious, but… this feeling of a fluttering heart, looking forward to meeting someone… is actually quite nice.

…

“I’ve done a pretty good job as a matchmaker, haven’t I?”

Jiang Qiao was sipping on Coke, watching Juan Canyun’s live stream and said to Hai Lan beside him.

At the server launch, Jiang Qiao was mainly focused on keeping up with the newcomers’ settling in, but he was instantly shocked when he learned from the Deity Quarrel Group that Juan Canyun and the leader of the Plane Pirate Group, Catastrophe Lady, were alone together.

Jiang Qiao knew that Catastrophe Lady had a bit of a soft spot for Juan Canyun, perhaps women of the queen type began to favor younger ones as they got older.

Or was it the kind of unhesitating, brave, and strong… puppy love? Jiang Qiao didn’t quite like this term.

But judging by the psychological changes in Catastrophe Lady, she seemed to be preliminarily won over by Juan Canyun, from initially thinking ‘this Spirit is quite interesting, can be made use of,’ to ‘why is he here? Did I not do my makeup today?’ that kind of state.

“Hmm… What’s the use of that?”

Hai Lan was busy arranging the distribution of monster spawns in the newbie area, something that the game planner dog should be doing, which was rare for her today.

The influx of a whole 150,000 players caused the newbie village to be overcrowded again, and to prevent a situation where there were more players than monsters in the newbie village, Jiang Qiao handed over the task of controlling the monster spawn efficiency to Hai Lan.

“The use is to feed you!” Jiang Qiao opened the page of the Book of Systems and pointed out that there was only 270,000 Creation Energy left in that section.

In the past, Creation Energy could only be increased by players plundering other worlds, such as killing the lord-level giant dragons on Biland Island to obtain anywhere from 50 to 300 points of Creation Energy.

Jiang Qiao made a huge profit in Creation Energy by collecting the mother crystals on Biland Island from the players, but this huge amount of Creation Energy was all consumed by the construction in the underside world.

The server’s maintenance cost used to be just about 100 to 400 Creation Energy per day, but after the Black Tide Island version was launched, Magic Thieves and those lord-level giant dragons could devour Creation Energy, causing maintenance costs to skyrocket.

Now, the daily maintenance cost starts at 7,000, exactly balancing out what players earn each day by killing monsters on Biland and Black Tide Islands.

“Celebrate! You finally have new followers!” Jiang Qiao shouted, opening the Book of Systems and then pointing to the new option below the Creation Energy section that read ‘Energy Collected by Followers: 0.9/day.’

“It’s only natural I have new followers! But… Jiang Qiao, the new followers that you’re talking about, they are followers of that Spirit named Juan Canyun, right?” Hai Lan was still somewhat skeptical, she clicked on the details section and found a new list for Plundering God*Catastrophe Lady.

The Creation Energy provided by Catastrophe Lady was 0.1/day, which under normal circumstances would require the faith of ten thousand ordinary people to generate one point of Creation Energy per day. However, as the powerful leader of the Plane Pirate Group, the power of faith condensed from her romantic emotions was equivalent to over a thousand ordinary people.

“The true followers we need to collect are gods,” Jiang Qiao said as he closed the Book of Systems in his hands, informing Hai Lan about what they should focus on in the future, “We also need to speed up the conquest of Black Tide Island because if Denghis Xisi takes control over Black Tide Island, it means… he won’t ignore Biland Island like the matrons of Black Tide Island did; he will certainly want revenge quickly!”

“Issue a bounty mission for Denghis Xisi?” Hai Lan suggested, asking.

In the Deity Quarrel Group, the discussion about why… Denghis Xisi appeared on Black Tide Island had already surpassed the matters related to server launch.

“That could work, but let’s see if there are any good recruits from the Pantheon Alliance first. Hmm? Shi Qi seems to be… in the Pantheon Alliance right now.”

Jiang Qiao glanced once more at the raccoon’s live broadcast, which was Jiang Qiao’s best way to understand how players felt about the new version, and also… to confirm whether Shi Qi was up to something again.

It turned out she was indeed up to something… she was lying low in a fish shop in the City of Gods.

While Jiang Qiao was wondering why Shi Qi was targeting a fish shop, two figures in blood-stained cloaks in that shop caught his attention.

“The Main Plot Advancement Mechanism had to be referring to you, right?” Jiang Qiao could see through Shi Qi’s eyes and had already identified one of those cloaked figures by their ID — it was the Magic Thief Wenna.
