Sacred Souls: Genesis-Chapter 171 - 170 Enemy? (1st Update)

Chapter 171: Chapter 170 Enemy? (1st Update)

Jiang Qiao had issued the new main quest to the players and was constantly following the livestream of Milk No Extra Charge.

Now that Milk No Extra Charge had successfully infiltrated the city of the Magic Thieves, Jiang Qiao truly felt that Milk No Extra Charge shouldn’t be playing a healer, but rather should be playing a class like thief or assassin.

A healer’s lack of agility attribute bonuses really held back Milk No Extra Charge’s skill, whereas any assassin player would have directly scaled the buildings of the Magic Thieves and headed towards the most luxurious building in the city.

But there weren’t any luxurious buildings in the Thieves’ City, all the structures were just low bungalows piled up with some unknown crystallized materials.

According to the livestream from Milk No Extra Charge, there must be some magnificent buildings deep within the city that didn’t seem to be built by the Magic Thieves, but rather resembled ancient ruins left from a bygone era.

The group of Magic Thieves had built their habitation around an ancient ruin on Biland Island, and the house Milk No Extra Charge sneaked into was just a very ordinary residence.

After entering the residence, she began her heroic, and frankly described by the players as, behavior—that was rummaging through everything.

Milk No Extra Charge couldn’t make too much noise while searching, as she was in a two-story building, on the first floor in the storeroom, yet she could still hear discussions coming from upstairs.

The NPCs’ discussions would sometimes appear as subtitles in front of the players under specific conditions, but Milk No Extra Charge didn’t care about that.

When she gently opened the storage chest in the storeroom, she got so excited she almost fainted.

A small basket of Otherworld potatoes and a piece of dried meat!

Otherworld dried meat!

Milk No Extra Charge picked up the piece of Otherworld dried meat and stuffed it into her backpack.

The food in the real world of holy spirits was tasteless, a fact that had become known to more and more players who wanted to pamper Fureya and wished to provide her with delicious food and drinks.

Because of the setting that spirits are energy beings, the notion that food eaten by spirits was tasteless was a point that surprisingly left many players on the forums unable to object.

What they debated was the significance of the setting that Otherworld food had flavor, given that players couldn’t actually eat in the game.

Not being able to eat was a fact, but you could smell the food! Some wealthy players’ VR simulators included olfactory peripherals, and the most well-known wealthy player, Bubble, publicly revealed that when Otherwordly dried meat was well-cooked, it could be linked with the VR olfactory peripheral, emitting a wonderful barbeque scent.

Cola Fanatic Guild’s president, Bubble’s public Weibo post, sparked a trend among other wealthy players of the holy spirits… the journey to smell the scents of Otherworld foods.

All this had nothing to do with Milk No Extra Charge though, for she was of the opinion that it was fine as long as her own Fureya was fed; what truly mattered was that food prefixed with ‘Otherworld’ was sold at very high prices on 4396 and the game’s official trading platform.

Take this piece of Otherworld dried meat for instance, it could now sell for as much as two thousand seven hundred yuan!

A piece of meat! Two thousand seven hundred yuan! This is comparable to some beef that’s been raised in water beds in real life.

Milk No Extra Charge stuffed the Otherworld dried meat into her backpack, then proceeded to stuff the small basket of Otherworld potatoes into it as well.

This was just one house! If Milk No Extra Charge took the time to raid all the Magic Thieves’ food and then sell it to those wealthy players, she would become one of the richest little tycoons in the world of holy spirits.

As Milk No Extra Charge was adeptly transferring the potatoes from the wooden basket to her fifty-slot bag… an NPC conversation subtitle suddenly popped up in the lower part of her vision.

“Yomi, eat up quickly, we still have to go to work later.”

“But sister, do we only have one potato for lunch again today?”

“That’s all we have, Yomi, don’t be too greedy! It’s very lucky for us to have anything to eat today.”

Add Milk without Extra Charge suddenly lifted her head and looked up at the somewhat rotting wooden boards above her; the voices belonged to two girls… they must be the NPC Magic Thieves living in this building.

What’s this? Add Milk without Extra Charge stopped stuffing the Otherworld potatoes into her backpack.

“But sister, I’m still very hungry.”

“Then you can have mine too.”

Add Milk without Extra Charge stared at the two lines of subtitles that had appeared before her, feeling that these subtitles and the voices of the NPCs discussing above were practically interrogating her conscience.

To Add Milk without Extra Charge, these potatoes and dried meat were shiny Gold Coins, but in the eyes of the two NPC sisters upstairs, they were the food they depended on for survival.

Perhaps Add Milk without Extra Charge should… put these potatoes back?

But Add Milk without Extra Charge wouldn’t do that!

“Do you think I would put them back?” Add Milk without Extra Charge said, and without hesitation, she shoved the entire basket into her backpack.

Players were already exclaiming in the barrage how could Add Milk without Extra Charge be so heartless, and she didn’t defend herself. After she stuffed all the Otherworld potatoes into her backpack, she took out the food she had stored in her own.

This food cost less than a silver coin, but its attributes were much stronger than recovering five percent MP of that Otherworld potato, and most importantly, it didn’t spoil!

Jiang Qiao, seeing this, really wanted to remind Add Milk without Extra Charge that Otherworlders can’t eat the food of the Holy Spirits!

Just like Healing Potions, the food of the Holy Spirits is more poisonous than nourishing to Otherworlders, especially those foods with particularly strong effects and high grades, which could potentially nourish them to death.

Add Milk without Extra Charge had good intentions, but she was unaware of this setting. She could have left something from her backpack in exchange. Jiang Qiao felt that the barrage saying ‘Add Milk sister robs the rich to help the poor, moving heaven and earth,’ said plenty already.

Just as Add Milk without Extra Charge was considering whether to leave a piece or two of clothing for the sisters, the door to the storeroom was suddenly opened.

“Who are you?”

A panicked voice came from behind the door, and in that instant, Add Milk without Extra Charge powered off her back foot with a speed unbecoming of a healer and charged towards the one at the door, then tackled and covered her mouth.

At that moment, Add Milk without Extra Charge saw her ID above her head, Magic Thief Weiser.

Named Weiser, this female Magic Thief appeared to be only about fifteen or sixteen years old, and her eyes became panicked when she looked at Add Milk without Extra Charge.

Add Milk without Extra Charge immediately made a shushing gesture at her, and she obediently didn’t struggle or scream because her level was only thirty-five. Although an elite Magic Thief, she was no match for the level fifty Holy Spirit, Add Milk without Extra Charge.

While Add Milk without Extra Charge was considering how to deal with the Magic Thief, a little girl’s shout came from not far away.

“Let go of my sister!”

Add Milk without Extra Charge looked up to see a little girl, who seemed to be about nine years old, holding a dagger aimed at Add Milk without Extra Charge.

She looked scared but was still inching closer to Add Milk without Extra Charge.

Add Milk without Extra Charge glanced at her name above her head, Magic Thief Yomi, and what she found most ironic was that this little girl named Yomi was an elite monster, her name colored in crimson.

This meant she was a hostile monster, no different in the system’s view than the dragons the players had killed before!

Add Milk without Extra Charge knew killing her would carry no moral penalty; on the contrary, the system would give her experience rewards, and who knows, she might even drop some epic gear!
