Jing Lian's appearance drew everyone's attention, pulling them out of their anxious wait and igniting their enthusiasm.
Now, viewers were asking questions one after another in the bullet comments.
【Wow, I wanted to ask last time, who is this handsome guy? Is he a player too?】
“No, he’s an NPC.” To appease everyone, Jiang Ye patiently replied, “But we’re friends.”
Jing Lian's lips curled up slightly.
【Was he a gift for building an island?】
“Probably, I’m not sure. Maybe everyone will get one later, you can look forward to it.”
Jing Lian, who might soon be in everyone’s hands: ……
Forget it, he’s a friend, he’ll endure.
【If he’s an NPC, can we strip his clothes…】
“Sister, that’s a bit of a dangerous thought,” Jiang Ye said helplessly. “You can’t just treat NPCs like that, can you?”
【The sister who asked that must be a viewer who doesn’t play games KKK】
【Seriously, if you came to play yourself, you could try stripping an NPC’s clothes, and I guarantee your game experience will be top-notch~】
【Really? /blush】
【Yeah, seven days of free room and board, the newbie village pigsty dungeon awaits you.】
【And after you get out, you’ll be blacklisted by the NPC! Playing the game like that, I won’t even go into the details, it’s quite an experience.】
【How do you guys know so much???】
【Watching you all discuss, I only have one thought: NPCs nowadays are so intelligent.】
The attention of the viewers was diverted, and the topics became more bizarre.
In a corner unnoticed by anyone, a pop-up window appeared.
【Streamer 'So Poor Won't Chat', your quest has been accepted. Please enable island teleportation permission now.】
【OMG OMG OMG!!!!!】
【Here we go, everyone! After waiting so long, it’s finally here!!】
【Oh wow, does this mean we won’t get to participate in the lucky draw to come to the island later?】
Jiang Ye also received the system’s prompt.
She quickly sent out the invitation.
Immediately after, the pop-up window in front of her changed to “Waiting for the other party to accept”.
For some reason, seeing this line, Jiang Ye felt a little nervous.
Her heart suddenly tightened, and she found it slightly difficult to breathe.
Jiang Ye felt like she was being inspected right now.
This was the first time she was going to show her little island, truly and concretely, to someone else.
Jiang Ye was a bit nervous.
She hoped the other party would like this place as much as she did.
At this moment, Jiang Ye finally understood.
Unknowingly, she had already come to regard this island as her home.
Because she cared, she was nervous.
The invitation waiting time of only two minutes felt like a century to Jiang Ye.
Finally, after two minutes, the air in front of Jiang Ye flickered slightly.
An old woman with white hair and exquisite attire appeared before Jiang Ye.
Jiang Ye could see the other party’s level bar and information.
ID: Die Lian Hua.
Level: 1.
This was indeed a newly registered account.
“Hello, excuse me, are you Grandma Researcher?” Jiang Ye stepped forward and asked.
“It’s me.” Die Lian Hua smiled kindly. “I’m sorry, it’s my first time playing a game, so I have no experience. I fumbled for a long time to figure out how to get in.”
“It’s alright,” Jiang Ye said.
Die Lian Hua observed Jiang Ye and smiled, “I didn’t expect that when I came to see you on the island, you’d still be like this.”
【Like what???】
【Don’t tell me you’re still a stick figure!!!】
【Streamer, you’re no good! If you’re brave enough, show your real face to the world! This is too much like treating us as outsiders!】
Seeing the bullet comments, Jiang Ye remembered.
“Grandma Die Lian Hua, actually, I haven’t turned off the stream yet. I don’t know if you mind appearing on stream? If you do, I can turn it off.” Jiang Ye asked politely.
【No!!! Grandma, please don’t mind!!!】
【We are all obedient and well-behaved, we never curse, we are pure of heart!】
【Dame! Dame!】
“Haha, no need,” Die Lian Hua shook her head and said to Jiang Ye in a half-joking tone, “When I’m teaching researchers, I often stream to my students. I’ve also appeared in interstellar seminars. These are small matters.”
【Grandma is right!】
【Did you hear that, streamer!】
“Okay, as you wish,” Jiang Ye replied with a smile. “I’ll take you to where the butterfly was discovered yesterday. I checked on the way this morning, the rose is there, but the butterfly didn’t appear. I’m not sure if we’ll see it later.”
“And Grandma, you only have three hours of game time to catch the butterfly.”
Die Lian Hua nodded her head with reserved dignity, indicating she understood.
This was the first time Jiang Ye walked on the island with another player by her side.
Grandma Die Lian Hua was a knowledgeable elder with extensive research on plants, and she got along very well with Jiang Ye.
Along the way, they had already discussed quite a few roadside plants.
When they reached the spot where the large-budded rose bloomed, Jiang Ye and Die Lian Hua stopped.
Die Lian Hua squatted down to observe the small flower in front of her.
She leaned in to smell it, and a faint floral scent enveloped her nose.
“I didn’t notice it when watching the stream from outside yesterday, but I realized today, standing here, that even such a small flower has such a wonderful fragrance,” Die Lian Hua sighed.
“Do you like flowers?” Jiang Ye asked.
“Of course,” Die Lian Hua said. “In this era, appreciating flowers has become a luxury.”
A touch of sadness appeared on Grandma’s face. Jiang Ye couldn’t fully understand it; she didn’t know this star system well, but she could still empathize with her.
“Sit for a while,” Grandma Die Lian Hua patted a small dirt mound beside her.
Jiang Ye nodded and sat down on the ground.
She sat down casually, but Grandma Die Lian Hua was different.
Grandma Die Lian Hua took out a piece of cloth, a gift for new players, from her backpack, placed it on the ground, and then sat down.
【Streamer, look! Look! Grandma is cleaner than you!】
【After seeing the interaction between the streamer and Grandma, I suddenly feel that the streamer must be using a voice changer! The streamer’s age must not be old!】
【Previous commenter, what makes you say that? Explain in detail!】
【The streamer’s reaction to Grandma is just like how I react to my own grandma, hahahaha! It feels like I’ve never seen the streamer so flustered since the stream started!】
Jiang Ye hadn’t expected this to expose her age.
But this was a minor matter, it didn’t matter.
She chatted with Grandma Die Lian Hua and waited with her.
However, today, the weather seemed to be uncooperative.
After waiting for a short while, they didn’t see a butterfly, but it started to rain.
This was the first rain Jiang Ye had experienced on the island.
It wasn’t fierce, but it was enough to get someone soaked.
Jiang Ye didn’t have an umbrella, and neither did Grandma Die Lian Hua. They looked at each other, both drenched like drowned rats.
Jiang Ye had no choice but to invite Grandma back to her wooden hut to take shelter from the rain.
At times like this, Jiang Ye felt that this game didn’t need to be so intelligent.
It was clearly just adding to her troubles.
Inside the wooden hut, Jiang Ye felt her quest might be difficult to continue, so she told Grandma Die Lian Hua.
“Perhaps after the rain stops, the butterfly will appear,” Grandma was very optimistic. “When it rains, butterflies like to hide. When the sun comes out after the rain, they like to appear.”
“But the time…” Jiang Ye reminded her tactfully.
“It’s okay, I can wait patiently,” Grandma said, holding the hot water Jiang Ye handed her, her wet clothes slowly drying.
“I’ve been waiting for this butterfly for many years,” Grandma said softly, looking at the cup in her hand. “Waiting a little longer won’t hurt.”
“Have you never seen it before?” Jiang Ye’s voice also softened.
“Yes. My husband and I have been dedicated to paleontological research for many years. After discovering the fossils of this butterfly, my husband has always wanted to see it with his own eyes.”
Grandma Die Lian Hua recounted slowly.
“But the St. Helena butterfly has very specific living conditions. We’ve searched for so many years, but we’ve never truly seen it. It likes to live on islands.”
“If we’re unlucky this time and don’t see it, you can invite your husband to come see the butterfly next time you have a chance,” Jiang Ye said.
“Hahaha, thank you,” Grandma Die Lian Hua’s eyes slightly narrowed. “It’s just that he was injured while searching for butterflies before and has been lying in bed, in a vegetative state. I don’t think there will be another chance.”
“So, when I saw this butterfly in your stream, I was very excited and wanted to see it with my own eyes. Even if it’s just in the game, I want to see it with his wish in mind,” Grandma Die Lian Hua looked up at Jiang Ye, “Moreover, this game is so realistic.”
Die Lian Hua’s words were bound to touch Jiang Ye.
How much genuine emotion was contained within these simple words?
Jiang Ye also thought of Jiang Li, whom she missed constantly.
Jiang Li was also in a vegetative state.
If…
“Grandma, you can try,” Jiang Ye pursed her lips. “Use the simplest login device to try. If you confirm it can connect, perhaps you can log into the game.”
“Okay.” Grandma Die Lian Hua, seeing Jiang Ye’s enthusiasm, smiled and agreed, but didn’t really take it to heart.
After all, this matter sounded too incredible.
After the two finished chatting, the sound of rain in Jiang Ye’s ears suddenly lessened.
She pushed open the window and saw a rainbow arcing over the island.
The beautiful colors curved from one end of the sky to the other, as if connecting two worlds.
Jiang Ye and Die Lian Hua exchanged a glance and hurried towards the rose.
As they got closer, under the sunlight and within the rainbow, the St. Helena butterfly flapped its wings, dancing lightly. Dewdrops on the rose caught its graceful figure.
“See, child, if you wait, you will eventually see everything you wish for,” Grandma Die Lian Hua smiled. She opened her hand and carefully reached out towards the butterfly.
Jiang Ye thought the butterfly would escape, but it seemed to have a spirit and landed on Grandma’s palm.
As the quest was completed, tears welled up in Grandma’s eyes.
Jing Lian, who had been waiting nearby, lowered his slightly raised fingertip.
The St. Helena butterfly had become Grandma’s pet, dancing around her.
Grandma Die Lian Hua thanked Jiang Ye and left the island.
The quiet bullet comments finally started to scroll again.
【Phew—phew! There’s a faint emotion in my heart, I can’t quite describe it. I’m glad Grandma could see the butterfly!】
【Don’t come up with all that nonsense, streamer, one sentence: can we still post quests now?】
【I! WANT! TO! COME! TO! THE! ISLAND! I! WANT! TO! WORK!】
Jiang Ye opened her Island Manual and clicked the button to post a quest.
Then she discovered that under her current island Level, she had already used up all her quest posting chances for the day.
【.......Streamer, go and level up your island!!!!】
【Never before have I wanted to work for someone else so much… Am I masochistic?】
【If I find out you’re not seriously leveling up during your next stream, streamer, you’d better be prepared to face my hammer!!】
After Jiang Ye’s stream ended, the discussion on the Star Network about the first-time island visit by other players was very enthusiastic.
Some envied this lucky player, while others expressed their anticipation.
More were howling, hoping the streamer would hurry up and level up the island, so they, the ravenous audience, wouldn’t have to stare blankly outside the stream room.
They wanted to come to the island too!
As for the lucky player who visited the island this time, Die Lian Hua herself did not share her feelings online. The elderly woman was not adept at using the internet.
Her granddaughter, Princess Xixi, updated her feelings about half an hour after the stream ended.
@Princess Xixi: Actually, before letting Grandma watch the stream, I didn’t expect things to get to this point. Everything that has happened is beyond my expectations and has surprised me. Ever since I was little, I knew my grandparents loved butterflies very much and loved each other very much. They were the kind of couple who would hold hands tightly when walking on the street, accompanying each other from black hair to white.
After Grandpa had his accident, Grandma didn’t cry much. As far as I can remember, Grandma has always been a gentle and optimistic person, as if no hardship could defeat her. She also inherited Grandpa’s dream of finding the St. Helena butterfly. She just searched for a long time. Years have passed, and even I, an observer, have given up, but Grandma is still persistent. Finally, this time, she found it. After the stream ended, she
Comment 1: Blogger, finish what you’re saying?! Why did you stop here, not even a punctuation mark!
@Princess Xixi: Sorry, I haven’t subscribed to premium, so the word count for my posts is limited.
@Princess Xixi: In short, after the stream ended, it was the first time I saw Grandma cry. But it wasn’t a sad cry. How should I describe it? It was like someone who had walked for a long time in the desert finally saw water. I’m very grateful to the streamer. We have also communicated with the game company and the hospital, and we have decided to discuss and select the most suitable login device to try and see if the person in a vegetative state, Grandpa, can enter the game. If there are any updates, I will continue to share them.
This is a brand-new attempt.
If a person in a vegetative state can indeed log into the game, and everything proceeds as usual…
Then, for many people in similar situations, this will be an opportunity to see their loved ones again.
Media outlets are paying attention to Princess Xixi’s movements, and people in similar circumstances are awaiting the outcome.
Even the game company is monitoring this matter.
They hadn’t anticipated this aspect at all before, so they hadn’t conducted specific equipment research and development. Attempting to use humans without authorization might also violate certain regulations.
For the company now, the most conservative approach is to assist Princess Xixi’s family and await the results.
After all, Xie Jue knew that everything within the game was beyond his control.
To outsiders, he, the boss of the game company, controlled everything about the game.
Little did they know, he was merely a chosen spokesperson.
His responsibility was to provide the external equipment related to the game so that the game could run normally. However, he had no right to interfere with any internal processes of the game. Due to his special status, he couldn’t even enter the game himself, only able to view some game information.
Xie Jue wasn’t too concerned about this point.
His sole purpose in taking on this hot potato was for fame and reputation.
As for the game, and everything it would bring…
He didn’t feel much about it.
He just wanted to be an outsider, to use this game to reach the pinnacle of the Xie family, and to prevent himself and his mother from being constantly discriminated against in the Xie family due to their impure genes.
Although Xie Jue was a son of the Xie family, he had no inheritance rights. All the capital he invested in the game in the past was accumulated through his own efforts and by scrounging from various sources over the years.
His mother had low-quality genes and was favored by Xie’s father for her beauty, thus marrying into the family.
Xie Jue inherited everything from his mother.
Genetics, beauty.
But unlike his mother, he harbored ambition from a young age, seeing his father only embrace his elder brother.
What were genes?
He, Xie Jue, could rely on himself to step on everyone in the Xie family, just as they had trampled on him in the past.
“Are there any changes in the sales volume and user numbers of the current game equipment?” Xie Jue collected his thoughts, clasped his hands, placed them under his chin, tilted his head slightly, leaned forward, and asked the employee reporting to him in the conference room.
“Yes,” the head of the sales department immediately reported. “According to our statistics, during and after the live stream of streamer 'So Poor Won't Chat', our login device sales increased by 5% and 10% respectively. We estimate that after blogger Princess Xixi publicly releases follow-ups, if everything goes smoothly, the sales volume will increase significantly again.”
“User retention is also very high,” the product manager replied. “Due to the difficulty of the game, many players used to abandon the game after playing for a short while. However, the situation is now slowly improving. And according to our user survey, we found that for some players, the goal of entering the game is not to level up, fight, or clear dungeons, but for tourism.”
“Mm.” Xie Jue smiled with satisfaction. “It seems the choice we made was not wrong.”
“Boss, may I be so curious as to ask who this streamer is?” someone in the meeting couldn’t help but ask.
“Since you know it’s curiosity, it’s best to control your curiosity,” Xie Jue’s smile remained unchanged, but the pressure in his tone was subtly revealed. “All personal information about streamer 'So Poor Won't Chat' is considered 3S high-level confidential information within our company. Only I in the entire company know it.”
“If you want to know, do you also want to sit in my position?” Xie Jue’s eyes curved. “This chair is quite good, would you like to try it?”
“No, no!” The employee, sweating profusely, quickly shut his mouth.
After the meeting ended, the employee, unable to contain his curiosity, secretly sought out the HR person responsible for signing Jiang Ye to inquire about the specific situation.
Of course, the HR person just smiled, feigned ignorance, and sent the person away with vague answers.
Then, they reported this matter to Xie Jue.
The HR person only knew Jiang Ye’s disguised personal information and was completely unaware of Jiang Ye’s two in-game alter egos.
Only Xie Jue, who had the highest information viewing authority, knew all of this. And Xie Jue had no intention of disclosing this information.
On the contrary, he decided to keep the secret for this player.
Although they had never met, Xie Jue felt that he and this player had a surprising consensus on causing trouble.
He liked people who brought him profit, and right now, A Leaf Boat was such a person.
“Guys who are too curious don’t need to continue working at our company,” Xie Jue said lightly. “Oh, and by the way, you heard what was reported today. After tallying the revenue, you can give the streamer a bonus, and the specific bonus calculation should follow the company's standard.”
After Xie Jue finished arranging matters, he left, leaving the HR person standing there, silently digesting the boss’s words.
Was he planning to fire the employee just now?
And also…
The HR person looked at the boss's retreating back with a complicated expression, thinking that their company didn’t have any relevant bonus systems! Should it be calculated based on year-end bonuses?
The HR person felt conflicted but had no one to complain to. They could only return to their workstation and start drafting the termination contract, as well as settling the employee’s compensation.
It was from this moment on that a rumor began to circulate at Xie Group.
“Hey, do you know? The streamer our company just signed, the really popular one, is rumored to be a relative of the boss.”
“Really? It’s dangerous to even inquire about their identity. I guess the boss is afraid of their nepotism being exposed?”
“I remember the boss has a sister, and she’s also playing our game. Could it be her?”
“You mean Xie Yiyi? Hmm… That one is a little princess, right? It doesn’t seem likely.”
Anyone who knew Xie Yiyi, or had met her even once, wouldn’t think she could be associated with the streamer 'So Poor Won't Chat'.
But this rumor spread like wildfire, and somehow, Xie Yiyi became one of the most highly regarded among the ten suspected identities of the streamer.
When Xie Yiyi learned of this, she looked bewildered and then went to catch up on parts of the streamer’s past broadcasts.
After experiencing the process from disdain to being proven wrong to becoming addicted, Xie Yiyi gloriously became a loyal fan of the streamer, joining the ranks of watching streams and generously sending the streamer money.
Jiang Ye had never paid much attention to external matters.
She was fully focused on leveling up.
In fact, even if the viewers didn’t urge her, she herself wanted to level up quickly.
After encountering the Level 10 bottleneck during island upgrades, Jiang Ye felt that Level 20, which she couldn’t seem to reach, must have some hidden secret.
As a result, after Jiang Ye successively collected creatures and spent money to upgrade buildings, her island Level successfully reached 20. However, Jiang Ye found no special changes.
This island, apart from its area increasing, remained unchanged.
Jiang Ye had no choice but to bury her head and continue grinding.
Time flew by, and a week passed in the game.
Jiang Ye’s island was upgraded to Level 24 through her hard work, and her collection progress reached [30/100].
The main account, A Leaf Boat, was still ranked first on the level leaderboard, consistent with the island level, at Level 24.
Because Jiang Ye had devoted most of her energy to her main account, even venturing into the night sea to explore with the egg yolk jellyfish, her alt account’s leveling progress slowed down considerably.
Currently, the account Ban Jiang Yue had just passed Level 15, completed the newbie trial, and received the follow-up quests for Li Family Village.
When playing her alt account, Jiang Ye deliberately chose the Divine Dream class.
A healer, easy to team up with, and easy to blame.
When choosing a weapon from the Village Chief, Jiang Ye chose a jade flute.
With the ethereal face of Ban Jiang Yue that she had created, standing there and playing the melodious flute, Jiang Ye thought it looked quite cool.
Most importantly, the flute was more convenient than other items. When she was annoyed, she could pick it up and hit people with it, which could also be considered a short dog-beating stick.
To distance Ban Jiang Yue’s account from A Leaf Boat, Jiang Ye diligently maintained a completely different persona for Ban Jiang Yue.
If A Leaf Boat was a slippery, greedy, and powerful player.
Then Ban Jiang Yue was a saint who could bring people back from the brink of death.
Oh ho ho!
Now, no one would guess that these two were operated by the same player!
When playing the newbie trial with Ban Jiang Yue’s account, a thought flashed through Jiang Ye’s mind: If she could open two accounts at once and bring all her pets, she would essentially be a whole team.
One for output, one for healing, and then let the pets tank the damage.
How satisfying!
Unfortunately, playing two accounts at once was impossible.
This was full-immersion, not a keyboard-and-mouse online game.
She only had one brain, and although she had some talent for multitasking, she wasn’t strong enough to control two characters simultaneously.
If that were to happen, Jiang Ye felt her brain might explode.
Therefore, Jiang Ye, with regret, put aside the idea of causing trouble by playing two accounts at once. After completing the newbie trial for her alt account, Ban Jiang Yue, she continued to focus on her main account’s island development.
At Level 24 of the island, Jiang Ye checked the basic island information through the Island Manual.
Small Island (Unnamed)
Island Owner: A Leaf Boat (Bound)
Level: 24
Area: 10000 sq meters (The system was kind enough to add the remainder to make a nice round number)
Natural Landscape: Sandy area, grassy area, beach. (Relatively barren, in urgent need of enrichment)
Buildings: Level 1 Personal Wooden Hut x1, Level 3 Warehouse x1, Level 3 Workshop x1, Level 3 Farmland x1, Self-built Chicken Coop x1 (Illegal building, quality not protected by the system)
Stationed NPC: 1 (aka Jing Lian)
Jiang Ye had been so focused on leveling up that she hadn’t paid attention to the changes in the island’s area.
Looking at the data now, she finally realized.
It turned out that the island area double card used at Level 10 was not a one-time card but a permanent one. According to the calculation formula for the sum of squares, at Level 24, the island’s area should only be half of what it is now.
It seemed that the island area calculation formula Jiang Ye had previously summarized needed to be revised and improved.
The current situation should be the sum of the squares of the level numbers x2, and occasionally the system would generously add a remainder to make it a whole number.
Ever since Little Chubby Bird Number 233 disappeared, the island system had become increasingly considerate.
10000 is more pleasing to a perfectionist than other numbers, isn’t it?
At the same time, the continuously expanding island area, coupled with the comparatively thin buildings and population, made Jiang Ye realize that she had to invest money and effort into expansion.
Although Jiang Ye was very stingy and wanted to save all the money she earned, she also knew that hoarding money like a squirrel would be useless. The 500 million star coins she needed to return to Blue Star couldn’t be saved up.
Spending money on what matters and making money generate money was the right way.
With this sentiment, Jiang Ye gritted her teeth and checked the gold coins required to add other buildings, then compared it with the contents of the lucky draw on the big wheel, realizing that spending money to draw cards was more cost-effective.
There were risks, but also rewards.
So Jiang Ye spent her own money and drew a ten-pull.
Ten draws yielded seven blanks, and three were upgrade voucher fragments for existing buildings, which were just enough to upgrade one building by one level.
Jiang Ye was unwilling to give up and drew another ten-pull.
The only difference this time was that a strange doll appeared in her backpack.
Made entirely of wood, with no nose or eyes, it looked a bit creepy at first glance, similar to the human model references artists often use.
Jiang Ye studied it for a long time but saw no “Thank you for your participation” messages, and her anxious heart finally settled.
Although she didn’t know how to use this doll yet, and couldn’t use this card due to level restrictions, there would always be someone who knew and a time when it would be useful.
Jiang Ye comforted herself like this.
The third ten-pull’s rewards were not good either; in fact, everything barely broke even.
Jiang Ye didn’t dare to gamble on whether this game had a 99-pull guaranteed item. Now, even the buff of the foolishly lucky ocean sunfish didn’t work for gacha pulls… Jiang Ye could only give up on trying to strike it rich and cautiously spend money on expansion.
Considering the future opening of the island to the public, Jiang Ye built another wooden house and upgraded it to Level 3.
She herself was still living in a Level 1 studio apartment.
The Level 3 wooden house turned into a standalone courtyard, with a front yard and three floors, totaling eight rooms.
Jiang Ye patiently decorated the place to resemble a guesthouse from her memory, or rather, a place with a slightly youth-hostel style.
There were two large rooms, two double rooms, and the rest were four-bed dormitories, separated by gender.
Jiang Ye purchased all the furniture from the system, and it wasn’t cheap.
Although not particularly exquisite or beautiful, it could be described as comfortable. To further improve and perfect it, paid renovation would be required.
Jiang Ye was unwilling to spend more money.
She knew renovation was a pitfall, and the more absorbed one became, the more pitfalls there were.
She didn’t have high expectations! As long as people could live in it!
After all, she didn’t know when people would be able to come here!
Jiang Ye clapped her hands, admired the small Western-style building for a moment, and then turned to expand the farmland and workshop.
Currently, Jiang Ye didn’t plan to add any more buildings. The existing functional buildings were sufficient, so she only upgraded the original buildings.
When she spent a huge sum of money with a heavy heart to upgrade the farmland, workshop, and warehouse to Level 5, Jiang Ye heard the system prompt.
[System: Congratulations, player! With your continuous efforts in construction, your island has finally reached Level 25! Island Mode will soon enter Phase One!]
Seeing this, Jiang Ye smiled from the bottom of her heart.
See, spending money is useful!
Then, in the next second, her smile froze as hard as ice in the winter outdoors.
[System: Your island expansion has attracted the attention of the deep-sea merfolk. In three hours, the Island Trial will begin, and the merfolk wraiths will shroud the island. If the trial fails, the wraiths will invade, and the island will be unable to advance. Furthermore, all facilities on the island will suffer some damage, with the extent of the damage depending on the trial completion rate.]
[System: The Island Owner can post recruitment notices to seek help from heroes from all sides! Number of recruitable individuals: 15. Recruitment Level: No limit. Specific recruitment conditions and rewards can be set or modified by the Island Owner. The rewards for the Island Trial belong to the Island Owner; helpful heroes will not automatically receive any distribution. All rights are decided by the Island Owner.]
Jiang Ye skimmed through the message, understanding that this might be a critical moment of life and death for the island.
Lose money or advance, it’s all on this gamble.
15 people… That’s a large-scale dungeon.
If that’s the case, it would be most advantageous to use A Leaf Boat’s main character to tackle the dungeon. However, if she recruited others, it would inevitably reveal her identity.
Unless, streamer 'So Poor Won't Chat' and A Leaf Boat appeared at the same time.
How could that possibly happen! Does this game want her to have a mental breakdown!
