Chapter 389: Chapter 376: Acquiring UR Characters! (Third Update) Chapter 389: Chapter 376: Acquiring UR Characters! (Third Update) At this moment, another NPC entry card appeared in Jiang Qiao’s system book.

“Name: Mother of Chaos*Sumir

Rarity: UR”

“Mother, are you alright?”

Wenna stared blankly at the Mother who was kneeling in front of Jiang Qiao. She couldn’t stop what was happening but was a bit worried about the Mother’s health.

The scenery previously scorched by the bluish flames was too terrifying, and the Mother’s health points were still only around two thousand one hundred.

“I’m fine, it feels warm.”

The Mother incredulously looked at her own hands, then raised her head. Her originally squinted eyes opened slightly again, showing some surprise as she looked at Jiang Qiao.

“I once signed a contract with the Devouring God. The pain from then is still vivid in my memory. Has this time… changed because of the inheritor?”

“You sound like you have a lot of dark history, but I’ll look into your dark history later.”

The agreement that Jiang Qiao signed with the Mother was just like with the NPCs living in the stronghold; they had become divinely registered NPCs under official monitoring of Jiang Qiao, encompassing their memories and thoughts.

Although Jiang Qiao would not deliberately influence their thoughts, he would still interfere discreetly if some NPCs tried to ruin the players’ gaming experience.

But at this stage, no NPC had done anything too excessive, though Denghis Xisi had still planted quite a few spies within the players’ stronghold, and these spies were living quite comfortably there.

As for dealing with the spies, Jiang Qiao decided to wait until after the descent of Black Tide Island.

“Mei, give her the egg,” Jiang Qiao said to Queen Mei.

“…”

Queen Mei took out a giant egg marked with deep blue patterns from a different-dimensional backpack. The egg was at least half a person tall and contained immense magic power.

If placed in any world, this egg could birth a magic dragon capable of destroying several countries.

After all, it was an Apocalypse Dragon’s egg.

“Agent, is it truly only by consuming it that we can transfer control?” Queen Mei’s ears on her cat headgear drooped, betraying her slightly downcast mood.

Normally, Jiang Qiao entrusted the Apocalypse Dragon’s egg to Queen Mei for management. Although the egg hadn’t hatched over this long period, Queen Mei had still grown slightly attached to it.

Now it seemed the Mother might perform a live egg-swallowing act.

“In the past, the struggle for dominion over the islands truly did depend on devouring each other, but the current Island Master of Biland Island is unexpectedly weak. Queen of the End of the World, I think… I have a handling method that aligns with your wishes.”

The Mother, adept in dealing with others, knew that she had now joined Jiang Qiao’s faction, the most important part of which was undoubtedly popularity among the players.

Queen Mei’s popularity among the players was undoubtedly very high. Now, if the Mother wanted to rise to the top under this faction, she first needed to establish good relations with those under Jiang Qiao’s faction.

“You needn’t mind, this is not my property, and for the sake of the divine spirits in the Black Tide Island campaign, we need the dragon power from Biland Island.”

Queen Mei even started exchanging pleasantries with the Mother, albeit the polite words sounded a bit stiff. But after the Mother became a Contractor of Jiang Qiao, the NPCs under Jiang Qiao originally had only one faction.

That was the faction of Queen Mei. As for those NPCs living in the stronghold, they were unaware of the truth.

But the arrival of the Mother also signified the official entry of the Biland Island faction. Whether this would lead to competition between them, Queen Mei was unsure…

“No, there will definitely be a competitive relationship!”

Queen Mei suddenly recalled the scene where the Mother was surrounded at the pulsating nuclear stronghold. Although the spirits were merely curious, Queen Mei still felt an inexplicable sense of threat.

“This dragon egg harbors a powerful life form, which can grow to be our strength; there’s no need to kill it,” said the Mother as she tried to touch the Apocalypse Dragon egg in Queen Mei’s hand, but Queen Mei discreetly stepped back, causing the Mother’s hand to miss.

“Queen of the End of the World, what do you mean by this… The gods are watching,” the Mother said, her face always wearing a smile.

“It’s nothing.” In the end, Queen Mei let the Mother touch the egg; she was probably puffing up her cheeks under her hood.

How would Jiang Qiao evaluate this situation? Was this the first standoff between two lolita-type NPCs for popularity?

Jiang Qiao wasn’t quite sure whether the Mother would someday reach the popularity level of Queen Mei among the players.

But the Mother succeeded. Biland Island really seemed to like this runaway girl who was mad enough to move out. Her hand touched the Apocalypse Dragon egg, and in less than ten minutes, Biland Island responded to her.

She instantly became the Island Master of the crystalline lands of Biland Island, and when a pale white light gathered around the Mother, she clutched her chest and knelt down.

“Are you… are you really okay?” Wenna was unsure about the Mother’s condition at the moment.

“I… I just saw so many happy things.”

The Mother clutched her chest and struggled to suppress the smile on her face as the pleasant emotions of Biland Island surged into her heart the moment she became the Island Master.

This even somewhat changed her personality; the gloomy and scheming parts of her character were significantly dispersed.

“Are there still so many dragons as the Island Masters on this island?” the Mother began to examine the state of Biland Island.

“Can you control them?” Jiang Qiao asked.

“I cannot… Currently, their spiritual power is far greater than mine, but I can communicate with them, god…”

“Call me the agent.” Jiang Qiao wasn’t fond of the title ‘god.’

“Agent, do you want me to ask them to do something?”

The Mother immediately guessed why Jiang Qiao wanted an articulate Island Master.

That was to control all the draconic creatures on Biland Island, but currently, the Mother could only control the dragons spawned in the crystalline land. She still couldn’t reach other areas like the Spiritual Vein Forest, the snow mountains, and the lava zones.

She would need to regain some strength to take control of the Spiritual Vein Forest, an area without an Island Master. However, areas guarded by creatures like the Flame Ash Dragon, Rock Core Dragon, and Frost Mist Dragon were completely out of reach for control.

But at least she could negotiate with those dragons now.

“Right, gather them in the Spiritual Vein Forest,” Jiang Qiao directly said.

“Do you want the spirits to hunt down those Island Masters together?” The Mother still thought in the way characteristic of Black Tide Island; if other Island Masters died, then Biland Island would be hers alone.

“Nonsense! They are now crucial combat forces. You talk to them, and if it doesn’t work, I will. You’ll be the interpreter… The spirits’ mission this time is to defend Biland Island and devour Black Tide Island. As creatures of the island, it would be too lazy if those dragons don’t participate in the battle,” Jiang Qiao said.

“I think killing them off is a better option, but since it’s your decision, Agent, why call them to gather in the Spiritual Vein Forest?” the Mother asked, puzzled.

“For a deployment ceremony, to boost morale… well, actually, it’s for shooting CG. You wouldn’t understand,” Jiang Qiao said as he handed out two books, one to Wenna and one to the Mother, “‘Modern Life Etiquette Watch it whenever you have time; starting now, you are city folks.”

“City folks… You’re more interesting than I thought,” the Mother said softly, holding the book.
