Chapter 161: Chapter 160 I Can’t Do It (1 More)

Jiang Qiao was sitting on a walking bird, closely following Mo Shigui ahead.

Warhorses and walking birds are the most common mounts in the Holy Spirit realm.

Players could buy either for just one Gold Coin from the quartermaster, and both types of mounts had a speed enhancement of sixty percent.

Mo Shigui’s warhorse was a Lion Heart Warhorse, produced in the battle of divinities, classified as an epic mount with a speed enhancement of one hundred and ten percent.

The walking bird Jiang Qiao was mounted on, of course, wasn’t an ordinary one; its name was Fatty Chirp, a limited mount from the first Abyssal Hunt, with a speed enhancement of one hundred and twenty percent.

It could be considered the fastest terrestrial mount in the Holy Spirit realm! Bar none.

But incongruous with its speed was its appearance and size, as Fatty Chirp, true to its name, was so plump that it couldn’t even see its own neck.

To outsiders, it looked like two round, fat balls stitched together, its short legs barely visible amid its yellow fluff when it crouched down.

Such a chubby walking bird, when sprinting at full speed, could easily outpace Mo Shigui’s warhorse leading the way.

“Big Bro Pro, where did you get this mount?”

When Jiang Qiao summoned this mount, even the members of the Dancing Nuclear Guild were taken aback.

Initially they thought Jiang Qiao was just joking to lighten the mood, but after Jiang Qiao pulled out a fishing rod with a carrot on the hook, Fatty Chirp took off with its short legs and ran far away at an incredible pace.

They no longer dared to joke about Jiang Qiao’s mount, instead gathering around him asking where he got such an interesting mount.

Currently in Holy Spirit, there were three ways to acquire a mount: the first was to buy from the quartermaster, available in each of the four main cities, but the highest speed enhancement you could buy was eighty percent.

The second was through quests, including various hidden quests.

But the best mounts were obtained by perfectly clearing hero-level instances, rewarding players with an epic mount if they triumphed with overwhelming superiority.

So epic mounts were considered a symbol of a pro, though each member of the Dancing Nuclear Guild’s strategy team had one…

“First Abyssal Hunt reward,” Jiang Qiao didn’t conceal the fact; there were only twenty-seven people in the entire Holy Spirit server who possessed a Fatty Chirp, including Zhao Mingwei and Lin Xi, although they switched to epic mounts from the instance in these situations.

“Big Bro Pro, are you also an alpha tester?”

Black Pot Cooking Meat curiously moved closer, Jiang Qiao had always been somewhat inconspicuous in the strategy team, but his few brilliant maneuvers had made a deep impression on these professional players.

“Laughmaster, what time is your flight tomorrow?”

Mo Shigui spoke up at this moment in the team channel, his comment interrupting Black Pot Cooking Meat’s question.

“Eleven in the morning, how about you?” Zhao Mingwei was also riding a Lion Heart Warhorse, which was more convenient in forest terrains for breaking through the crystalline structures in the woods.

“Twelve noon, we need to be at the airport an hour and a half early, can’t change the itinerary now, and it’s two in the morning, Can Xin, are you sure that’s where the Magic Thieves’ lair is?” Mo Shigui asked Can Xin again.

“I already told you I’m not sure, when I went there it was just a lava lake, but it had lots of Magic Thieves,” continued Can Xin, sending a coordinate in the team group chat.

Riding their mounts from here to Can Xin’s coordinates would take at least half an hour, assuming no lord-level monsters blocked their path.

But how could there not be?

The depths of Biland Island were teeming with lord-level monsters’ territories, Mo Shigui had already minimized the team size, only including several mages capable of casting portal magic, while the rest of the Dancing Nuclear Guild’s main force waited on standby at the guild base.

Even so, the team still faced pursuit by several lord-level monsters, with a giant python-like lord-level monster even now trailing behind them.

“Do you guys have time to watch the live stream?” Jiang Qiao shouted loudly in the middle of the team.

“Live streaming?”

Jiang Qiao sent a live streaming link to the guild group with a title attached: “Arrived at the Magic Thieves’ lair, ready to get to work!”

Upon seeing this title, members of the Dancing Nuclear Guild went into autopilot mode and entered the live stream.

The mounts in the realm of spirits felt a bit like cars equipped with an automatic navigation system; Jiang Qiao couldn’t expect every player to be able to handle a real warhorse or dragon, so the mount system was a simplified version made by Jiang Qiao.

The live streaming room featured Can Xin, who was accompanied by Yelena as they walked through a scene filled with molten lava.

“The SR character that your guild hired before is also there.” Lin Xi opened the live stream Jiang Qiao shared and instantly noticed Yelena next to Can Xin.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mingwei immediately opened the live streaming link provided by Jiang Qiao, and the first scene that captured his attention was the blazing lava.

The Magic Thieves who had attacked the outpost stood on both sides, and at the end of an obsidian road stood Denghis Xisi, the most crucial boss, with rolling lava on both sides of the road.

‘Is this the new instance’s plot CG?’

‘Can Xin, take a closer look.’

Various comments began flooding the live stream’s chat, and the members of the Dancing Nuclear Guild treated this broadcast as a reference for the upcoming instance battle.

“As expected, it’s a lava scene, everyone be ready with your fire-resistance potions,” Mo Shigui commanded based on the live broadcast while estimating the number of enemies and their combat power.

Zhao Mingwei’s attention was on Yelena. Joining Can Xin, Yelena was heading toward the end of the obsidian road.

From the comments scrolling on the chat, it seemed that Yelena had asked Can Xin to accompany her.

‘Isn’t this the SR-level NPC who’s rumored to be pursuing Laughing Master? I read on the forums that she’s a character hired from the talent market, can she even participate in the storyline?’

Thanks to an earlier trending post, Yelena had become somewhat famous among the players, at least a small portion of the spirit players had a deep impression of Yelena.

The current Yelena didn’t seem like a prisoner of the Magic Thieves anymore, but rather like their ruler, as each step she took, the Magic Thieves on either side would kneel down.

At that moment, a special comment popped up on the chat, and it was from the streamer herself, Can Xin.

‘I told you guys before, her original backstory was supposed to be like a queen of the Magic Thieves? It feels a bit cliché, but now it seems like a coronation ceremony?’ Though her hands were shackled, it did not stop Can Xin from typing.

‘Stop her.’

Upon seeing this, Zhao Mingwei sent a three-word chat, but it quickly disappeared beneath other players’ comments discussing the plot.

Because of this, Zhao Mingwei sent several messages in a row until Can Xin noticed.

‘The one continuously posting to stop the SR’s coronation is quite cheeky, with the area surrounded by level 50 monsters. And I just managed to get their favor to neutral, hey, I’m here to move stuff, not to play an instance.’ Can Xin responded directly with a text.

However, just at that moment, a shiny gold announcement appeared at the top of Can Xin’s live streaming room.

‘Thank you ‘Laughing01’ for gifting ‘Can Xin’ a Super Rocket! Click to claim the treasure chest! Come watch now!’

The next second, bearing the prefix of a baron, Zhao Mingwei sent the three words again.

‘Stop her!’

‘Thanks to ‘Laughing01′ for the Super Rocket, but the problem is that I really can’t do it. How about you pick another request? Even punching that final boss would work.’ Upon seeing the Super Rocket, Can Xin’s self-reference instantly switched to ‘your servant.’

‘Thank you ‘Laughing01’ for gifting ‘Can Xin’ three Super Rockets! Click to claim the all-site announcement treasure chest! Come watch now!’

In an instant, Can Xin’s live streaming room was overwhelmed with a flurry of pure gold rockets.
