To be reasonable… In terms of beauty, the puppet sister and Queen Mei each had their own charm. The puppet sister was a creation carefully crafted by Jiang Qiao, so when players looked at her, they felt an unreal sense of beauty.

Queen Mei also possessed an unreal beauty, mainly because the Holy Light effects on her were just too strong. Queen Mei had one advantage… she had a bit of a loli attribute.

But if one were to truly compare their allure, it would be difficult to declare a clear winner.

“Jiang… Jiang Qiao!”

Hai Lan, who had been keeping an eye on the Hornet Knight, was completely caught off guard by the axe-wielding man’s shout. When she appeared in the midst of the battlefield, Jiang Qiao even noticed she was holding a chicken drumstick that had been bitten off.

...

“Hurry up and mute that guy!” Hai Lan said, almost wanting to roll up her sleeves and silence the axe-wielding man herself.

It wasn’t really about silencing, but rather making it so that the players fighting the axe-wielding man couldn’t hear what he was saying.

“There’s no need,” Jiang Qiao grasped Hai Lan’s arm. The fact that the axe-wielding man was suddenly recruiting players was something Jiang Qiao had anticipated. Actually, it wouldn’t be surprising if the Lion Heart Knight and the Red Knight did something similar.

In the chaos of the battlefield, anyone with a bit of combat experience could see… the fighting style of the sprites was utterly undisciplined.

So, as long as the Five Knights spent enough time with the sprites, they would realize that this group of sprites was not under Hai Lan’s command but were like independent warriors or mercenaries.

The problem was that the sprites’ faith in Hai Lan was not very firm, and any sensible person would choose to win over the sprites.

“We can’t avoid this situation, so we might as well play a little trick and use others to achieve our aims,” Jiang Qiao took out the Book of System and started editing a brand new quest chain.

“Use Queen Mei’s knife… to kill their people?” Hai Lan still didn’t understand Jiang Qiao’s reasoning. “What exactly should we do? The players are all planning to join Queen Mei’s faction.”

“Who says joining the enemy’s faction means you can’t kill the enemy’s people? Players are a fundamentally chaotic and evil existence. There’s no conflict between completing the tasks you assign me and killing your people, okay?”

Jiang Qiao continued to create a brand new quest chain.

If there’s a group of people in the world who truly have no allegiance or position, it’s probably the players.

A player could one day max out their reputation with the demons, collect a bunch of NPC rewards, and then the next day head to the angel faction to take on new missions and slaughter the demons’ ranks.

I don’t just want to do your tasks and collect your rewards; I also want to kill your people.

Jiang Qiao believed that over eighty percent of the players in the world would do such things, with the exception of those NPCs who had formed emotional connections with the players, like the puppet sister. @@novelbin@@

Now, for the sprite players, whoever dared to touch the puppet sister would face their wrath.

Queen Mei’s popularity wasn’t to that extent, but that didn’t stop players from accepting a hidden quest related to Queen Mei and then continuing to group up to challenge Queen Mei.

“It’s finished,” Jiang Qiao completed a hidden quest issued by the axe-wielding man in less than two minutes.

Jiang Qiao inserted this quest into the players’ quest chains. As long as a player talked with the axe-wielding man and mentioned a keyword like ‘wanting to pledge loyalty to Queen Mei, the hint for this hidden quest would be triggered.

“Let’s see how the players react,” Jiang Qiao continued to watch the live broadcasts by Chen Meng.

Now, there are two types of VR game live broadcasts. One uses the mobile camera that comes with the Tian Gong toolkit, which helps the streamer shoot in third-person perspective; the third-person perspective includes displays like the health status bar.

Streamers can manually switch back to first-person perspective. Generally, when wandering the main city and accepting quests, streamers use first-person perspective to give their viewers a better sense of immersion.

Hai Lan was also using first-person perspective, and in the livestream’s frame, she was staring at the axe-wielding man holding an axe in his hand.

The dessicated face of the axe-wielding man, who had become a corpse, seemed to have a stern expression that said, “Swear loyalty, or say goodbye to your health bar.”

Fortunately, the passersby players around were still attacking the axe-wielding man with various skills. Annoyed by the beating, the axe-wielding man spared Hai Lan and her group for a moment and turned his axe with a leaping chop towards a battle mage poking at him with a spear.

The battle mage, wearing a snowman head, was instantly killed by the axe-wielding man’s leaping chop. After completing the chop, a deep green light emitted from the axe again, and with another swing of his axe, the axe-wielding man released a moonlight-like energy wave that swept towards several riflemen players in the distance.

“What is your decision?” The axe-wielding man returned to the front of Hai Lan’s group.

Hai Lan didn’t leave him… because she was busy reading a quest description that had just popped up.

“A hidden mission can be triggered just like that? I’m telling you, this game really isn’t just ordinarily interesting.”

Hai Lan had been a streamer for quite some time, and this was the first time she encountered a quest triggered by conversing with a boss inside an instance, and moreover, it was a quest to join the boss’s faction.

‘Hidden Mission: For Queen Mei, Mission Description: You have encountered an axe-wielding warrior corpse, Lama, who still possesses his own sanity. He invites you to join Queen Mei’s faction, to fight for the queen and hunt down the source of the Corpse Curse.’

Hai Lan didn’t find anything odd with the storyline of the quest; in games, stories and quests are generally derived from mission descriptions and various records in books, and players had long been accustomed to this.

That is, the storyline explained in a quest was definitely true, without a sliver of doubt.

The reward for this hidden mission was thirty Corpse Medals, which was quite a common reward obtainable by killing some zombie soldiers on the Divine Battlefield.

“What do you guys think?” Hai Lan was planning to accept this hidden mission, but as a streamer, she had the instinct to interact with her viewers before accepting it.

‘If the streamer doesn’t accept, unfollow.’

‘Definitely take both the puppet girl and Queen Mei!’

‘Take both +1.’

Hai Lan shared the same sentiment; although she was a female player, the character of the puppet girl was really capable of warping the sexual orientations of most female players, and Queen Mei took it a step further, making Hai Lan feel like wanting to be the BOSS’s mother.

Here, ‘mother’ holds no special meaning; if the puppet girl was considered a wife, then Queen Mei could be taken and raised as a daughter.

So faced with this hidden mission, Hai Lan naturally pressed the button to agree.

“I am willing to swear loyalty to Queen Mei,” Hai Lan said to the axe-wielding man verbally after she accepted the hidden mission.

“You actually agreed? Though your blood is tainted, in such a battle, having a friend is always better than having an enemy.” The axe-wielding man suppressed his urge to hunt the evil spirits and said to Hai Lan, “Prove your loyalty by killing those who invade the royal city!”

The invaders the axe-wielding man spoke of were the other players, but Jiang Qiao would never issue a mission that encourages players to slaughter each other at such a critical juncture.

So Jiang Qiao threw out a scapegoat tactic.

After Hai Lan accepted this hidden mission, the objective became ‘Go to the Mage Tower to investigate the truth behind the betrayal of the red Knight.’
