Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Things the Savior (Player) Can Do

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The old Mage, Pru, woke up from the state of being possessed by the tower spirit, and the first thing he did was grab Jiang Qiao’s hands.

“Doomsday! The end of the world!” The old Mage’s dry hands grasped Jiang Qiao’s arms tightly, his eyes wide open “I saw the moment of this world’s end, the prophecy is true, the demonic star… the demonic star is coming.”

The old Mage’s words were quite similar to those of the three mysterious astrologers in Jiang Qiao’s Astrologer’s Tower.

“Prince Segman? I have to inform Prince Segman!” The old Mage started looking around for Segman’s figure as he came to his senses. When he saw Segman in front of the Enforcement Master, Yirui, he immediately let go of Jiang Qiao’s hands and ran over.

“Forgive me, great Devouring God… I must inform the original residents of this world of this matter.”

A crisp voice rang in Jiang Qiao’s ears, and Jiang Qiao looked up to see a glowing creature appear before him.

This creature was very small, covered in extremely soft light gray fur from head to toe, resembling a small human in stature but with a body proportion of only three heads. Her face had human-like eyes and mouth, but her nose was a rabbit-like inverted triangle. She even had a pair of fluffy rabbit ears on her forehead.

The appearance of this tower spirit was enough to make some people with certain peculiar fetishes have criminal thoughts in their minds.

“Can you tell the old Mage another thing?” Jiang Qiao didn’t mind the tower spirit informing the native residents about the possible invasion of Hai Lan’s former followers into this dimension.

After all, the native residents of this world were also a strong combat force. Currently, there were only 3,100 players on the Holy Spirit server, with a daily increase of between 300 to 500. Each dungeon run might increase the server’s limit by five to fifteen players at most.

There were even fewer players who had reached level 30 and above in Holy Spirit, with only 130 players. Maybe in fifteen days, the first batch of players could reach level 40 and above, and leveling fanatics like “Add Milk No Extra Charge” could reach the full level of 50. But dealing with the average level of 50 in the Hai Lan divine realm was still a big challenge.

If the tower spirit informed the native residents about the “end of the world,” they would definitely send troops to guard the dimension of the Tower of Trial. Among these native residents, there were those who were above level 45.

But using the strength of native NPCs had a prerequisite, which was that they shouldn’t conflict with the players.

Small-scale conflicts were acceptable, but large-scale conflicts would be a bit troublesome, so Jiang Qiao needed to change the native NPCs’ view of the players.

The most straightforward view was… to make the players be seen as saviors, heroes, or similar roles.

This was a common setting in most games, where players were always the ones saving the world.

“You go and continue hinting to that old Mage, tell him… we are the Holy Spirits summoned by you, the great beings from a distant world, with a mission to save your world from imminent destruction. In short, make our status a bit higher, simply put… make the native residents think of us as saviors, and change their term for players to ‘Great Holy Spirits’ as well.”

Jiang Qiao personally believed that the best way to motivate players to do tasks was… to have NPCs flatter the players, flatter them in various ways, call them Great Canglan Star, world-saving heroes, flatter them well, and even if players were tasked with weeding or planting, it would be fine…

After all, doing chores for NPCs was a required course for world-saving heroes.

“I… think I understand.” The tower spirit still appeared quite afraid while communicating with Jiang Qiao, mainly because there was a Hai Lan staring directly at her beside Jiang Qiao.

Anyone would feel immense psychological pressure if a lion—no, a T-Rex—were staring at them.

Under such psychological pressure, the tower spirit quickly floated towards the old Mage who was running towards Segman. She once again turned into a beam of light and entered the old Mage’s body.

Compared to Segman’s current state, he was engaging in a battle of wits and courage with the woman in front called the Enforcement Master Yirui.

“Will placing the weapon in this peculiar alchemical device really strengthen it?” Segman was initially attracted by the woman’s comment “That guy over there is quite handsome.”

“The effect of my enforcement machine is absolute. If you don’t believe me, you can try it.” Enforcement Master Yirui always wore a smile that Segman couldn’t quite understand.

Honestly, Segman was somewhat craving power now. He had two reasons for craving power: the first was to find a way to break the fastest holy record for the first tier, and the second was to show his strength in front of that Priestess.

Segman was still thinking about the rabbit fur’s words “Wait for me here tomorrow, I’ll take you to a dungeon,” Segman didn’t want to be the burden the team had to carry, he wanted to be the strongest one in the team! The leader!

The fastest way to strengthen Segman’s abilities at this stage was through equipment, various holy relics equipment, and the Enforcement Master Yirui’s enforcement machine gave Segman some hope!

“I hope you’re not lying to me!” Segman took out a fairly well-made short sword and threw it into the enforcement machine. Enforcement Master Yirui just kept smiling ambiguously without saying a word.

The first reinforcement didn’t require any magic stones or money; it was like a trial experience.

The rounded enforcement machine began to shake wildly the moment Segman pressed the start button, and the various indicator lights on the surface of the machine started flashing frantically.

Seeing the extent of the shaking, Segman took a quick step back, almost thinking that this strange alchemical machine was going to explode.

The shaking of the enforcement machine started to calm down after two seconds, and finally, the enforcement machine spat out the short sword Segman had thrown in. @@novelbin@@

Segman reached out and grasped the short sword, feeling a vibrant life-like warmth from the sword’s hilt. A magical inscription number appeared on the blade, which Segman could understand and meant “+1.”

Segman gently swung the short sword in his hand through the air, and the blade cut through the air with ease.

Sharpness…

It had indeed improved.

In Segman’s world, Mages all adhered to the rule that a Mage who doesn’t use a sword isn’t a good Knight, so Segman was quite proficient in swordsmanship.

He could genuinely feel that the sharpness of this short sword had increased a bit.

“Can it be further enhanced?”

Segman immediately asked Enforcement Master Yirui beside him. He felt like he had discovered a new world.

“The second enhancement requires two magic stones.” Enforcement Master Yirui said.

Segman directly handed over two magic stones to Enforcement Master Yirui, then threw the short sword into the enforcement machine again. After another wild shake, the short sword was spat out by the enforcement machine, and the inscription number on it changed from +1 to +2.

Segman swung the sword again, and the sharpness had increased one more level. This time, Segman even felt an illusion that he could easily cut through the air.

“Hey! How many times can this machine enhance a weapon?”

Segman asked while trying to contain his excitement.

“Countless times, but it’s not cheap, handsome boy.” Enforcement Master Yirui showed a sly smile. In Jiang Qiao’s setting, she would never reveal that… enhancing equipment carried risks.
