Chapter 236 -233: Manage Players! Save the BOSS!!!

Biland Island, this map has no level restrictions for entry. Even the monsters ‘spawned’ in the Spiritual Vein Forest near the players’ bases are only between levels thirteen to fifteen.

Players have already been building bases on Biland Island for a whole twenty days, and Jiang Qiao has come to understand some of the island’s unique characteristics quite clearly.

First of all, Biland Island spawns its own creatures, although Jiang Qiao has no idea what the principle behind this is… it may be related to the potential keyword “Blood Flesh Resonance S”.

Every once in a while, creatures carrying Mother Crystals would burrow out from the soil of Biland Island.

However, once an Island Master of any area is killed, the level of spawning creatures decreases significantly. Currently, there are two to three areas left on the island with an Island Master yet to be found. The reason for the uncertainty of two to three areas is that the Island Master in the central Crystal Land area has not shown themselves yet.

For the time being, the Island Masters that players have witnessed include the Shattered Core Dragon from the Black Soil Swamp and the Flame Ash Dragon from Molten Lava Land. Although their names sound menacing, these two dragons are the most docile of the Island Masters. As long as players do not enter their territories, they would not attack anyone.

Mo Shigui didn’t care which dragons remained as the only Island Masters on the island. The greatly reduced level of the small monsters that spawned around the bases was a great benefit to their safety, although… to some players, it was a bit less interesting.

That’s right, it was Can Xin, that guy. Even now, Mo Shigui got somewhat irritated when he thought about it. If only Can Xin hadn’t posted complaints on the forum about the defense structures at the base being pointless to construct! That monster siege event might never have happened!

Three hundred lord-level monsters spawning in the players’ main city? Mo Shigui did not want such an event to happen a second time!

But now… the base of Leaping Nucleus had welcomed a brand-new lord-level difficulty creature. Here, ‘difficulty’ referred to… the demand on the base’s food supplies!

“Didn’t I explicitly say not to feed this NPC anything after she woke up?” Mo Shigui found Furry Rabbit and gave her a serious lecture on the spot.

The Divine Chosen One, Sheela, who shared an empathic link with Fureya of Mo Shigui, had already awakened. During the past half-month, Mo Shigui’s Fureya’s emotions had been quite stable, not influenced by the shared empathy.

But this attribute had persisted without fading, making Mo Shigui suspect that it would only start to gradually disappear after Sheela had awakened completely.

And as soon as Sheela woke up, the first thing she did… was to devour an entire one of the seven remaining lukewarm dairy cows of Leaping Nucleus!

“Um… but Guild Leader! She seems to have a very important side quest… She said she would give it to us after she’s had her fill,” Furry Rabbit said somewhat aggrievedly.

She says she has a side quest and you just believe her?

Mo Shigui did indeed believe it… because while he might not have taken Sheela’s word for it, he couldn’t help but believe that Sheela was an NPC possessing one or more crucial side quest chains.

Otherwise, Sheela wouldn’t have been designed so…distinctively. At least compared to those generic-faced NPCs, it was clear Sheela was a special one marked by a giant exclamation point over her head.

“You had better provide us with some help.”

Mo Shigui pulled up a chair and sat down in front of Sheela, which nearly caused her, who was still gnawing on a bone, to choke to death.

But soon, Sheela patted her chest and managed to swallow the thing stuck in her throat.

“You… Are you the ruler of this Holy Spirit organization?” Sheela quickly put down the bone and asked Mo Shigui warily.

“I’m just the manager.” Mo Shigui glanced at Silver Chief who was being shown around the entire base by Little Feather. “The dairy cow you ate is one of the most precious properties of our guild.”

The words Mo Shigui spoke were based on the default choices, with the last sentence containing a coercive option.

This coercive option succeeded. After touching the divine symbol on her chest, the pain from her chest marking forced Sheela to take a gamble with her life… and she disclosed a crucial mission.

“Please stop slaughtering the creatures on this…island,” Sheela said.

“Why?”

Having played the game for so long, Mo Shigui had encountered such NPCs before. These NPCs ask players not to kill monsters and the like… but Mo Shigui wanted to know the reason.

“If it continues, this world will be plunged into war,” Sheela found that the pain in her chest eased when she spoke. Hesitating for a moment before risking her life, she decided to reveal it all. “This island contains something terrible! The deity I serve intends to steal the island’s power and then…overturn the order established by the gods of this world.”

“Biland Island’s hidden storyline?”

After hearing this, Mo Shigui indeed received a hidden quest.

“Hidden Quest: Biland Island’s Ecological Balance, Description: The Spirits were hired by the deities of Biland Island to purify the island of the Crystal Plague, yet the Divine Chosen One, Sheral, has revealed to you a secret of the past.

It seems that something terrible is sealed on the island, and when all the Island Masters are killed… it will be released. You are unsure whether the words of the Divine Chosen One are true or false, but… do you really plan to exterminate all the monsters on the island?

Completion Condition: Protect all the remaining Island Masters on Biland Island, preventing them from being killed by anyone.

Quest Reward: ?”

This quest was not only received by Mo Shigui but nearly all players in the stronghold as well.

“What the hell? This is the first time I’ve seen a quest that requires players to protect the final bosses, wait, the last war of divinity also required us to protect Queen Mei, didn’t it?”

“Queen Mei is so cute, of course, we must protect her! But this time it’s those ferocious dragons!”

“I actually think the dragons on Biland Island are pretty handsome, but they should respawn after they are all killed, right? What’s the guild leader going to do? The Island Masters are brimming with treasures, and you can exchange a ton of rewards from Ms. Cat.”

The members of the guild gathered in an instant, and Mo Shigui also fell into thought…

One thing he was certain of, the Island Masters of Biland Island… will not respawn! At least not within a month.

The Island Masters are positioned like world monsters. It’s quite normal for them to respawn once a month. If that’s the case… all this talk about ecological balance is pure nonsense.

In reality, creatures can be driven to extinction by humans, but can game monsters be driven to extinction by players?

It’s actually quite possible.

Jiang Qiao had been listening to the conversation between Mo Shigui and Sheral all the while. When Sheral was revealing these not-so-secret secrets… she should have been burnt to death by the mark on her chest, but Jiang Qiao let Hai Lan consume all the energy of the divine mark on her chest.

“Jiang Qiao… do we really need to stop players from killing the Island Masters?” Hai Lan, as always, was floating in her semi-transparent state next to him.

The hidden quests received by Mo Shigui and all the members of Nuclear Jump were edited by Jiang Qiao, which essentially represented his intentions as a game designer.

“Hai Lan, have you ever thought about something… Why can the monsters of Biland Island keep respawning? Why can the Crystal Disease Infected on the island turn into powerful lord-level monsters? Where does all this energy come from?” Jiang Qiao communicated with Hai Lan through his thoughts, words… that he couldn’t let the gods of this world overhear.

“I know! Biland Island is drawing power from this world! That’s why it can keep respawning these strong monsters… it’s just that when the Island Master of an area dies, its power decreases, so the respawned monsters are weaker,” said Hai Lan.

“What’s our purpose in coming to this world?” Jiang Qiao asked again.

“To consume this world,” Hai Lan said, her voice innocent as that of a little girl, uttering a terrifying line.

“Wrong, wrong! That’s too cruel to say. We came to this world to acquire resources, like the copper and iron used by players to build strongholds, as well as various magical metal materials! We’re also here to extract the Creation Energy of this world. Although that’s also consuming the world, it’s a gentler method,” Jiang Qiao said.

“Isn’t it all the same?”

“No, it’s not. Put it this way, if we completely purify Biland Island, we’d complete the commission given to us by the Earth Mother Goddess. Then what would we get? A Biland Island that no longer spawns monsters, a Biland Island that no longer produces various core crystals. In the future, if players want to operate on Biland Island, we would need to provide Creation Energy to create monsters ourselves,” said Jiang Qiao further.

“But didn’t you say you were going to move Biland Island?”

“Moving Biland Island and using it as a mining machine to continue mining for us in this world are not conflicting ideas.”

“I… don’t understand anymore,” Hai Lan gave up trying to keep up with Jiang Qiao’s line of thinking.

“I’ve verified with Lyla over the past half month, the Crystal Plague is not something that can be purified just by moving Biland Island away.”

“Secondly, the energy of this world is endless. Well, not endless, but when Biland Island was at its peak drawing the energy of this world, it really exhausted the Earth Mother Goddess and other deities. However, if the amount extracted is a little less… then there’s no problem,” Jiang Qiao explained.

At this moment, Jiang Qiao really wanted to stuff a book titled “Sustainable Development Strategies” into Hai Lan’s hands.

“Just tell me directly what we’re going to do next! That is, protect the two, or maybe three, remaining Island Masters of Biland Island, and ensure that their areas keep spawning level 50 lord monsters! Let the players keep having monsters to fight so that in five or six months, Biland Island doesn’t become too peaceful again. Basically… manage the players, save the bosses!”
