Chapter 199 -197: Dog Planner, Stop It, Ahhh!! (2nd Update)

“Can I go eat a whole roast sheep now?”

After planning with Jiang Qiao, Hai Lan asked him in a very humble tone.

“Yes, but today, let’s not order takeout… Instead, we’ll cook it ourselves.”

Jiang Qiao glanced at the time. The Battle of the Divines had just ended, and the performance of the new generation of Holy Spirit players was so poor that even the five Knights sighed with disappointment, let alone the players from the eight major guilds who hadn’t managed to gather the five Knights’ full set of gear. Sending people to grind the Battle of the Divines proved useless.

Once the five Knights got serious, they would actually block the Holy Spirits at their doorstep and slaughter them. However, Jiang Qiao, considering the gaming experience, had to forbid such behavior of blocking doorways.

Therefore, the five Knights obediently engaged in skirmishes with the Holy Spirits in their own assigned areas and even held back to a certain extent.

If the attack desire of the five Knights during the first Battle of the Divines could be classified as hero-level difficulty, where they were either preparing or releasing their ultimate moves every second,

By the second Battle of the Divines, the five Knights had finally learned that “Even if the BOSS has strong attacks, there should be intervals! And give some time for the Holy Spirits to deal damage, okay?” They started to show the basic restraint expected of an instance BOSS.

So, under this lenient condition, the second Battle of the Divines concluded successfully at one in the morning today.

Taking advantage of the time when the major guilds had completed their assault on the Heavenly Frost Dragon and returned to their bases to regroup, Jiang Qiao directly opened the portal to the instance lord’s dormitory map.

“Should I wait for you in your room?” Hai Lan still wasn’t prepared to meet with her former followers.

“Mhm.”

Jiang Qiao didn’t insist, watching Hai Lan’s figure disappear in front of him before falling into deep thought after looking at the post made by Can Xin of the Abyss Temple.

The defense capability of the base really was quite ineffective, considering the current peaceful state of Spiritual Vein Forest; most of the data points of built turrets, arrow towers, laser towers, and such were… useless.

And it seemed that Holy Spirits could increase their assimilation values by killing monsters in the Spiritual Vein Forest?

In that case… Why not lure the BOSSes from other areas to the Spiritual Vein Forest?

The moment this terrifying idea popped into Jiang Qiao’s mind… he couldn’t suppress it any longer!

Jiang Qiao thought about it and directly entered the instance lord’s dormitory.

“Who messaged me earlier asking if one could cook in the instance dormitory?”

As soon as Jiang Qiao returned to the instance lord’s dormitory, he tossed a lukewarm dairy cow in front of the five Knights who had just finished their shift and were heading home.

The five Knights, who were still wiping the bloodstains off their armor, unanimously stopped their movements upon hearing Jiang Qiao’s question.

In the end, Knight Lupa sheepishly raised his hand.

“The answer is yes, and do you know how to roast a whole beef? You’re in charge of dinner tonight.” Jiang Qiao summoned a bunch of cooking utensils and placed them in front of Lupa, then brought all the seasonings from his own kitchen into the instance lord’s dormitory.

Lupa, looking at the table full of cooking utensils, finally donned the apron passed over by Jiang Qiao, while still in full armor, under the watchful gaze of Knight Fureya.

On the other side, Jiang Qiao found a new table and opened the Book of Systems, which projected the map of Biland Island onto the table.

Two areas of the island, Snow Plain and Spiritual Vein Forest, where the Crystal Plague had been purified by Hai Lan, were now occasionally spawning monsters, but much less frequently than before.

Whether Black Soil Swamp and Molten Lava Land would have their own area lords was secondary; the other three areas were still treacherous zones infected by the Crystal Plague.

Turning to the five Knights, who were happily engaging in a family dinner, Jiang Qiao closed the Book of Systems and asked, “You guys don’t have anything to do right now, do you?”

“Does the Agent have any… tasks for us?”

Queen Mei, hearing Jiang Qiao’s inquiry, set down the basket of vegetables she was holding on the table. Ever since the Hawkeye Knight had opened a garden in the instance lord’s dormitory,

Her Majesty had led her scant five subjects to start living off the land.

“Are you live streaming now?”

This content is taken from fгeewebnovёl.com.

Jiang Qiao remembered that Queen Mei had recently been promoted to a live streamer, broadcasting her perspective throughout the second divine war.

If Jiang Qiao’s evil plan were to be discovered by the players, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“No, I turned it off when the divine war ended,” Queen Mei said to Jiang Qiao, holding a celestial live broadcast tool.

“Well, actually you could try live streaming your life in the instance dormitory, that way your popularity will rise even faster.”

When Jiang Qiao was being camped by the Heavenly Frost Dragon, he took the time to watch Queen Mei’s live stream, and most of the comments thought it was just an official instance strategy recording, not taking it as Queen Mei’s personal live stream.

“Live stream my life? Would the saints really like to watch that?”

“I don’t think that’s a wise decision, Your Majesty!” the Lion Heart Knight immediately spoke out against it.

“To be more precise… this is actually what the saints really want to see,” Jiang Qiao said, glancing over at the Wolf Knight, who was wearing an apron and cutting beef. “Including the sight of you, Wolf Knight, cooking, is what the saints are interested in. They have already experienced your valor on the battlefield in the instances.”

The popularity of game characters can also increase the heat of the game, and Fureya is the best proof of that. Strong instance lords are also high-popularity characters in the game. Jiang Qiao felt that what they were more interested in, compared to these lords’ hundred ways to kill players, is… what these instance lords do in their private time.

“Er… Let’s discuss the live streaming later, right now let’s get back to the topic of conquering Biland Island.”

Jiang Qiao enlarged the Biland Island projection from the System’s Book, zooming in all the way to a certain area deep underground at the center of Biland Island.

“I need you… to lure the monsters from the other three regions to the saints’ stronghold gates,” Jiang Qiao said.

“This… Proxy, why must we do this? Those strongholds are built by the saints through hard work.”

As Miss Cat, Queen Mei had spent a long time on Biland Island and had seen players build up their strongholds from scratch, developing an attachment to the player-constructed strongholds.

Jiang Qiao’s actions were tantamount to having them destroy the players’ strongholds.

“Because some player strongholds are built for monster sieges, you understand what I mean, right?”

As Jiang Qiao said this, he opened his own System’s Book, and the strongholds of Abyss Temple and the Night Raiders appeared before everyone.

God knows where Abyss Temple got so many prodigies from; they built a fortress in the area leading from Spiritual Vein Forest to the Mist Gorge, and from the outside, it could absolutely be considered impregnable.

“I understand that a part of the saints are very combative, but is it not… too much to lead the enemy into the strongholds they built?” the axe-wielding man spoke up at this moment, but before he could finish his sentence, his head was hammered by the Hawkeye Knight.

“I! Proxy! I accept this task!”

The Hawkeye Knight pressed down on the axe-wielding man’s head and raised her own hand high, her excitement akin to that of a little girl on an outing.

This mindset was the normal one for an instance lord; the axe-wielding man was simply too merciful toward the players.

“What about the Hawkeye Knight and the Wolf Knight?” Jiang Qiao’s gaze turned towards the Wolf Knight, who was cutting onions with his head down, and the Hawkeye Knight, who was sitting on the ground hugging his legs.

“I… can,” the Hawkeye Knight said, touching his helmet and looking towards Queen Mei behind his visor. “But, Your Majesty…”

“I permit you to accept this task, I permit all of you to accept… the Proxy’s task.”

Queen Mei was probably the boss of the divine war with the most NPC awareness; she was very eager to learn… and that had caused Queen Mei to now think not as an NPC.

She was gradually learning Jiang Qiao’s way of thinking, which is… how to give the saints greater joy in this world.

Watching those huge monsters turn into pieces under the bombardment of their own built turrets was undoubtedly… a very fun thing for the saints.

“Alright, I’ll assign the regions you’ll be responsible for. Hawkeye Knight and Wolf Knight, you’ll patrol the Black Soil Swamp and Molten Lava Land, while Hawkeye Knight and the axe-wielding man will patrol the Crystal Land and Mist Gorge… The goal of this task is to find suitable monsters in these maps and lure them to… the right place when I give the signal. This shouldn’t be a difficult task for you, right?” Jiang Qiao asked.

“Not difficult, but can I change this headwear?” the Hawkeye Knight asked, taking an orange cat headgear from her backpack.

“No,” Jiang Qiao firmly rejected.
