Sacred Souls: Genesis

Chapter 189: Chapter 188: The Holy Spirit Quarrel Group (4th release! 4500 monthly tickets added!)

The Holy Spirit Guild’s drama chat was established less than a month ago, and the number of members in the chat had risen from the original twenty-one to two hundred thirty-four.

This drama chat had evolved from its initial purpose of discussing the division of deity battle resources to a chat where major guilds acquire and share information, and where members could trash-talk and boast to each other.

The chat’s management consisted of leaders from various guilds. Besides the core members of the eight major guilds, there were also some recommended casual players and… a bunch of unfortunate bosses who didn’t get the Holy Spirit eligibility.

In short, this was a drama chat with a mix of fish and dragons, filled with many newbies and also quite a few heavy-hitters.

Zhao Mingwei was a deep-sea monster in the chat, the kind who joined and then never spoke a word. His sudden @mentioning of all members was akin to tossing a depth charge into the chat, instantly drawing out other lurking monsters from the depths.

‘Can Xin: Holy shit? Laughing Master personally @mentions, what’s the quest, dude? Are you short of people for the raid? Why not join our guild, and let’s get through this main quest together.’

‘Mo Shigui: Sorry, not short of people, Laughing Master here has our guild’s fifty-three people in the team.’

‘Can Xin: Old Song, what are you, a Dancing Nuclear Guild member, on about?’

‘Qi Jun Returns to Court: If you’re short of people, just call on us, captain. Also, captain, when will you be willing to come back to our guild?’

Qi Jun Returns to Court was the president of the Holy Spirit Guild in Junlin Dominance, and in real life, he was a logistics staff at the Junlin Club. The owner of Junlin’s team knew that Zhao Mingwei played Holy Spirit but chose not to intervene any further.

However, Junlin Dominance’s guild was utterly in a frenzy. It was one thing for one of their strongest players to play Holy Spirit, but he had joined an unknown small guild, and not only that, he kept mingling with the opposing club, Dancing Nuclear.

‘Happy Gaming: I’ve been a lone ranger for too long, Junlin Dominance doesn’t get affected by missing just me.’

‘Qi Jun Returns to Court: It does affect us a lot… captain.’

However, his message hadn’t been read by Zhao Mingwei when it was already swept away by a flood of other explosive messages.

‘Mulan Youxi: Is that really Laughing Master? The big devil who dominated with a triple kill in the S7 season of the disputes? Holy shit! Front row tiger touch to a pro.’

‘Love to Play Basketball: Is Laughing Master really in this group? Can I get an autograph? I’m your fan!’

‘Gray White Eyes: Group members, immediately cease asking the celebrity for autographs, @Happy Gaming… What sort of quest requires @mentioning all members?’

Gray White Eyes was the president of the Gray Eyes Association, also one of the eight major guilds of Holy Spirit. He was a selfless manager, but just how selfless was he?

The drama chat that Mo Shigui had created was originally meant to be thrown away after it was set up, but under Gray White Eyes’ management, it became a hot spot for high-level player exchanges in Holy Spirit today.

Thus, as one of the initial managers, Gray White Eyes strongly condemned Zhao Mingwei for such irresponsible behavior, only popping up to @mention all members.

‘Happy Gaming: A Crystal Hunter related quest, very challenging.’

‘Can Xin: The coordinates Laughing Master posted, isn’t that right outside the Dancing Nuclear Guild’s stronghold? Old Song, are you seeing our raid progress on Snow Plain and trying to pull a fast one? @Mo Shigui.’

Zhao Mingwei, upon seeing the @mention, looked up to see Mo Shigui, who was negotiating with six Crystal Hunters.

Mo Shigui was currently using ‘needing supplies in exchange for Sheela’ as an excuse to buy time, so he probably wouldn’t see the @mentions in the chat.

The speculation by Can Xin seemed to receive support from the other six guilds within the drama chat. After some thought, Zhao Mingwei still decided to upload the CG footage he had previously recorded with the Heavenly Palace recording tool to the chat.

This is a CG that only the members of the Dancing Nuclear Guild can see for now.

The other seven guilds, which were still skeptical, had their doubts instantly turn into inquiries the moment they saw Fureya’s figure in the CG…

‘Bubble: Is this the next main storyline on Biland Island? Can it be untriggered? Whose Fureya is this? She’s having such a tough time!’

‘Can Xin: The ID above the head is from Old Song’s…’

‘Silver wants Holy Spirit activation qualification: Old Song’s Fureya? Why do I feel like your Fureya is always suffering? Just looking at this makes my heart ache, didn’t anyone go to pull her up?’

‘Daydreaming during the day: My Fureya has never suffered like this.’

‘Can: Mine hasn’t, either.’

‘Can Xin: +1.’

A bunch of +1 echo options popped up on the screen. This flame war group also contained many big names in the esports and gaming circles, but they had not obtained the play qualification for Holy Spirit, with Silver of the Dancing Nuclear Guild being a prime example.

Zhao Mingwei felt a sort of… pitiable aura emanating from the screen when he saw a string of echo responses and Silver’s ‘I don’t have a Fureya’.

‘Bubble: Wait! Xiao Ye! Xiao Ye! Xiao Ye! What’s the reward for this mission? In the video you posted, Chairman Song’s Fureya… isn’t in the tree hole? It’s all Dancing Nuclear players around, so does it mean… Fureya has run outside the tree hole? @Happy Gaming.’

Bubble watched Zhao Mingwei’s video message again. The first time he watched it, all his focus had been on Fureya’s scalded left hand.

Although it was someone else’s Fureya, just watching Bubble felt as if he was about to bleed from heartache, and on top of that, he was currently leading his guild in a fight against a Lord-level monster on the Snow Plain map, so he had no time to pay detailed attention to the surroundings.

But as Bubble was casting skills, he carefully recalled something wasn’t right! How did Xiao Ye record Mo Shigui’s Fureya?

Thus, upon watching the video again, Bubble realized… Mo Shigui’s Fureya had not obediently stayed in the tree hole, but had… run out!

This was exactly the scene Bubble had been looking forward to. He had taken good care of his own Fureya at home, but his Fureya would never leave the tree hole no matter what.

This had made Bubble think that it might be due to the level of his stronghold being insufficient, or that Fureya’s favorability wasn’t high enough.

Some had speculated on the forum that ‘Fureya in the Biland Island map should be able to leave her room,’ but Bubble had never found a way to achieve it.

‘Happy Gaming: Old Song’s Fureya left the tree hole to rescue a Crystal Hunter, which should be related to character story progression. I can’t provide a detailed answer.’

‘Bubble: Is that NPC still there? I’m heading over right now!’

‘Xue Bi: Boss, focus on the monster we’re dealing with now!’

Xue Bi suddenly chimed in with an emoji of a panda grabbing someone’s collar, looking as if it was about to throw a punch.

‘Bubble: The mission that lets me take my wife out has finally arrived! Why am I still farming dragon eggs! Coordinates, report them again! Quick! Hurry up!’

Zhao Mingwei posted the coordinates once again in the group, and the atmosphere within the flame war group was completely stirred up by Bubble.

This character mission was indeed key to allowing Fureya to wander freely within the guild’s stronghold… Just for that, Zhao Mingwei felt that within less than a minute, those Crystal Hunters would be surrounded by members from all eight major guilds.
