Chapter 181: Chapter 180: Guild Recruitment (1 update)

“The Holy Spirit’s Pet System is Decided! Latest News on the Cola Fanatic Guild’s Newly Released SSR Characters Dragon Speaker and Dragon Tamer Sisters” Posted by: Frontline Reporter.

‘Do you want me to give a background introduction of these sisters?’ Replier: Starry Scholar Squad.

‘No need, please go away. Thanks.’ Replier: Frontline Reporter.

Jiang Qiao sat in the Cola Fanatic’s headquarters, refreshing forum threads and various messages on Weibo… As expected, Weiser and Yomi had now become star personalities on the Holy Spirit forum.

The previous star personalities were Ms. Cat and Queen Mei, and now Ms. Cat and Queen Mei had both faded out of the limelight, with the forum filled mostly with discussions about Weiser and Yomi, with a few threads about Fureya popping up occasionally.

Jiang Qiao wanted to say that wives may come and go like the flowing water, but “iron lady” Fureya, your main wife, remains your main wife after all.

‘Loli! It’s a loli! Holy Spirit finally introduced an important loli character, and she’s a blonde with blue eyes, I’m dead!’ Replier: Haskabi

‘Country girl’s legs look so nice, and she’s barefooted… I feel like I could lick them till I break a bone.’ Replier: Chen Yubai

‘Idiot! You upstairs want to be beaten into fractures? By the way! Those wanting to join Cola Fanatic, hurry and DM me!’ Replier: Mac Coffee.

‘Me! Me! Do you get a dragon baby for joining the guild?’ Replier: Cai Yimeng

‘No dragon babies for new members, we don’t have any right now, but you can possibly get one by participating in character missions! Players above level 45, hurry and join!’ Replier: Easy Pull Can.

‘Quake Core up front recruiting!’ Replier: Rain Song.

‘Abyss Temple up front recruiting, don’t be misled everyone, you don’t need to join a guild to take on the Dragon Speaker’s sister character’s legendary quest.’ Replier: Can Xin.

‘You two upstairs, you guys are gone, be careful I add you to the blacklist of forbidding your guilds from entering our headquarters.’ Replier: Easy Pull Can.

‘We’re all old friends here, one by one on the Snow Plain raid tasks!’ Replier: Cruel Moonlight.

‘Damn, creating friends out of nothing at this time?’ Replier: Caffeine.

‘Wow, the eight major guilds start fighting over the two country girls, everyone come grab some popcorn!’ Replier: No Emotions.

Jiang Qiao sifted through the headline post by the Frontline Reporter, which had already turned into a guild recruitment battleground among the major guilds.

In this post, the Frontline Reporter had detailed the importance of Weiser and Yomi, suggesting that the Holy Spirit’s future Pet System might revolve around the two sisters, also hinting that if players favored these two sisters, they were very likely to win the Holy Spirit’s first pet, a dragon baby.

The content in the post was all analyzed by the Frontline Reporter himself, which essentially amounted to hearing rumors and making big news.

However, the post by the Frontline Reporter had now totally heated up, with the reply count climbing into the thousands. Coupled with some renowned members of the eight major guilds sponsoring the post, this article quickly reached a peak of response and discussion.

As Jiang Qiao was browsing through the Tian Gong network widgets, a pixelated icon of a redhead with twin ponytails suddenly popped in front of him, startling him enough to immediately close the browsing widget… The figure who appeared was somewhat familiar, the competent member from Cola Fanatic Guild, Mac Coffee.

“Boss, seeing you sitting here for so long, are you thinking about joining our guild?” MaCoffee tilted her head as she looked at Jiang Qiao, her snowman pixel avatar standing out wherever she went… very noticeably.

“I think it would be better for you to recruit one or two newcomers.” Jiang Qiao pointed at the new batch of novices who had appeared at the entrance of the guild’s stronghold.

“Right, right, then I’ll get to work, boss!” MaCoffee saluted Jiang Qiao and then walked towards the entrance of the Cola Fanatic Guild with her short legs.

If Jiang Qiao remembered correctly, MaCoffee’s real age was only sixteen… Although she was a core member of the Cola Fanatics, she often mixed up with the strategy group of the Leaping Nucleus, which is how Jiang Qiao got to know her and was inexplicably addressed as ‘boss’ by her.

As a player, Jiang Qiao only wanted to be a layabout, could it be because of the bonus from the pixel sunglasses outfit?

The player is a layabout indeed, but this time the Dragon Speaker sisters’ plan was very successful, and Jiang Qiao turned his attention towards the entrance of the Cola Fanatic Guild.

The stronghold of Cola Fanatics now looked like there was a festival going on, with players from other guilds and passersby relentlessly flooding into the guild’s interior, all to catch a glimpse of the elegance of the two Dragon Speaker sisters.

The president of the guild, Bubble, was currently busy with his secretary Xue Bi, tallying up… the benefits and profits that the two SSR-level characters had brought to the guild.

“Currently, three hundred and twenty-seven players below level forty-five and sixty-three players above level forty-five have applied to join our guild, and we’ve accepted all of them. The guild’s membership has expanded to one thousand one hundred twenty-one, almost doubling. Now, aside from the Deep Dream Marriage Counseling Guild, ours has the most members.”

Xue Bi, looking at the guild management interface, reported this to Bubble.

“I told you my investment vision was spot on! Just with the Dragon Speaker sisters, we’ve taken down Leaping Nucleus and become the most popular guild in the Holy Spirit!” Bubble was in a triumphant phase right now.

Since the launch of Holy Spirit, the rivalry among the eight major guilds never stopped, but whether it was the number of members or popularity, Leaping Nucleus had always had a slight edge over the others, but today, Cola Fanatic Guild had been the first to tear apart this unequal treaty and successfully risen to become the second most populous guild in Holy Spirit.

“But these newly joined players are still peripheral passersby, what we need to do now is quickly identify the talented ones among them, cultivate them, and enhance the cohesion of the guild.” Xue Bi was far less optimistic than Bubble; she was looking at various analytical posts on the forum and the construction progress inside the stronghold.

“We must schedule the Snow Plain Master punitive expedition as soon as possible, and also, the construction inside the camp needs to be sped up, to max out the favorability of the two SSR-level characters quickly.”

Xue Bi was quite stressed talking about this… The Cola Fanatics’ stronghold was really built like a resort, lacking practical buildings such as NPC residences and areas for agriculture. Bubble impulsively created a meadow area at one point, but this area was completely empty.

In the past, Xue Bi always thought building these life-oriented areas was a waste of money, but after the two SSR-level NPCs arrived, Xue Bi realized the importance of food production.

These two NPCs… simply cannot eat the food of the Holy Spirit’s own world. Well, they can eat a little, but if they eat too much, negative statuses will occur.

So apart from organizing the Snow Plain Master punitive expedition, Xue Bi was also busy with various food production facilities in the camp.

“Then I can assign someone to complete the task that rewards an Otherworld warm-water dairy cow, we can’t let our SSR-level characters go hungry over the next few days, let me see…” Bubble remembered that one of the bounties he had taken on offered an Otherworld warm-water dairy cow, and a whole cow lasts much longer than a piece of jerked meat.

“The task’s target is to capture three Magic Thieves.”
