Sacred Souls: Genesis
Chapter 366 - Chapter 366 Chapter 354 New Activity (1st Update)

Chapter 366: Chapter 354 New Activity (1st Update) Chapter 366: Chapter 354 New Activity (1st Update) Denghis Xisi’s conversations with the gods were, of course, all under Jiang Qiao’s surveillance, and his thoughts after listening were roughly… Let them overturn whatever they want, I will carry on with my events.

Currently, Jiang Qiao has two main tasks at hand, preparing for Dark Tide Island and having players increase their affinity with various NPCs on Dark Tide Island.

Preparing for Dark Tide Island didn’t require Jiang Qiao’s prodding, as most of the newly registered players were frantically leveling up, with only a tiny minority of scenery enthusiasts aimlessly wandering and viewing landscapes, only to be killed by higher-level monsters… After getting killed, they obediently started leveling up seriously.

However, Jiang Qiao still launched an event called “Preparation for Dark Tide Island.” This event was aimed at lower-level players, including benefits such as a 1.5x experience boost and a 1.5x increase in instance drop rates for newcomers under level fifty.

In the game Spirit, experience boosts aren’t as simple as Jiang Qiao tweaking some system data.

At this stage, players gained experience set under the premise that their bodies and souls could endure the pace, but if the experience rate increased by 1.5 times, players would feel their bodies become energized and exhausted much faster while playing Spirit.

Previously, hardcore players who could pull all-nighters and game for twenty-four hours straight were fine, but at a 1.5x experience rate, they might need to sleep after playing for twenty-four hours.

If “Preparation for Dark Tide Island” was targeted at new players, the second event Jiang Qiao launched was aimed at all max-level players on Dark Tide Island.

That was the “Faction NPC seduction (crossed out) conquest war.”

It might sound silly, but given the current progress in conquering Dark Tide Island, it was crucial for players to follow the Alliance of Gods and Planar Pirates to sweep through major relics on Dark Tide Island, yet winning over the affection of the gods and Planar Pirates was also… very important.

Especially for the gods… After the Lake God’s affinity for Jiang Qiao reached worship, Jiang Qiao could draw a full seven hundred points of Creation Energy from her every day.

Jiang Qiao’s daily Creation Energy income was about five thousand points, but if players were dedicated enough, it might reach around seven thousand points.

Moreover, it’s worth noting that the Lake God was a minor deity in her own world with barely a few temples! If a player managed to raise the affinity level of deities like the Light God or the Earth Mother Goddess to worship…

More importantly, the depleted Divine Fragment needed the combined power of many gods to be repaired.

Thus, the most important event of the new version was simply edited by Jiang Qiao and posted on the official Spirit website.

“Faction NPC Conquest War!”

“Description: Within the Alliance of Gods, Planar Pirates, and Breeder factions, there are many characters with special abilities. They are not just loyal to their own factions. O spirits, if you are confident in your charm, try to make them fall for you!

Activity Points Evaluation Base–NPC affinity reaching Like +1, Smitten +3, Worship +10, Admiration +10!

Scarcity of N-tier NPC scores 1.0x.

Scarcity of R-tier NPC scores 1.2x.

Scarcity of SR-tier NPC scores 2.0x.

Scarcity of SSR-tier NPC scores 3.0x.

Note: If affinity is negative, points might be deducted.

Activity rewards…”

Jiang Qiao had set up rewards for positions from one to five thousand in the event, but the rewards for positions beyond one hundred included things like equipment, special mounts, and clothing props.

These were rewards Jiang Qiao could simply whip up with a wave of his hand, but the key was the reward for first place in the event!

“City Founding Stone.”

This was the only City Founding Stone in the entire server. If a player obtained this City Founding Stone, it would herald the arrival of a new version for the Holy Spirits.

The first-place winner not only had to be the top scorer across the server, but also had to raise the favorability of two SSR-level wild NPCs to adoration, and the favorability of five SR-level NPCs to the same level.

This was probably a task that only big shots could complete, but actually building a city with the City Founding Stone was also something that only big shots could manage!

Jiang Qiao hadn’t set a time limit for this event, merely adding at the end, “The event will end at the latest after the Black Tide Island version update! Please hurry, all Holy Spirits!”

This sort of irresponsible official announcement had been made several times by Jiang Qiao, so he was already used to it.

“Alright, Hai Lan, it’s time you brought out all the Divine Power Crystals you’ve saved up,” Jiang Qiao said to Hai Lan, who looked utterly conflicted, after drafting the two events.

“Does this event have anything to do with Divine Power Crystals?” Hai Lan was very conflicted at this moment. If Jiang Qiao had just asked for a piece of clothing, it would have been fine, but this time Jiang Qiao was after her stored provisions. If it had been anyone else, Hai Lan would have bitten their hand off.

“It does. Most of the NPCs in the Plane Pirates have N and R ratings, while the Pantheon features a cluster of SR-rated NPCs, so most players would opt to lure or kidnap… I mean, win over NPCs there, and Divine Power Crystals are a critical admission ticket,” Jiang Qiao explained.

Jiang Qiao could already foresee the price of Divine Power Crystals skyrocketing after the release of this event, and with this in mind, he glanced at someone crazily hoarding crystals at the fishing spot.

It was unfortunate, even if that person had foreseen this, their little scheme might still fall apart…

Because Jiang Qiao had decided the official would sell Divine Power Crystals–well, not exactly sell… In the meantime, players had exchanged their Divine Power Crystals for equipment, which allowed Hai Lan to accumulate over eighteen thousand Divine Power Crystals. Consuming all of these would nearly amount to four hundred thousand Creation Energy.

Still, Jiang Qiao had saved them up and had now decided to put a portion into Fureya’s Wardrobe’s prize pool as a secondary product… also known to players as “fodder” rewards.

“Is this, in your country’s saying, ‘If you are reluctant, you can’t trap a wolf’s cub’?”

Hai Lan eventually suppressed her hunger out of rationality. Compared to one-time rewards, the Pantheon’s sustainable, solar-panel-like attraction was more tempting, and she knew she had no way to refuse Jiang Qiao’s request for her reserves; at most, she could object verbally.

“It roughly means the same thing…”

Jiang Qiao invested a large portion of the Divine Power Crystals into Fureya’s Wardrobe’s rewards and specified that this particular reward could only be drawn by players who performed ten consecutive ten-draws, and the probability… well, it was quite fair.

“Another battle on Black Tide Island should begin now.”

Jiang Qiao stood on the second floor, overlooking the magnificent City of Gods, home to hundreds of deities from various worlds, and thousands of Divine Chosen serving them.

After the Holy Spirits gained a small portion of the Power of Abyss… their charm and eloquence stats finally began to have some real effect on the NPCs of the real world.

Jiang Qiao double-checked the two events for any oversights and then pressed confirm to publish them on the official website of the Holy Spirits.
