Sacred Souls: Genesis

Chapter 104: Chapter 103: Modern People’s Lifestyle (Additional Update for Alliance Leader, Eat My Disjointed Chapters)

No one answered Jiang Qiao. Both the Lion Heart knight and the Wasp knight had a deadpan haughty character; they were too embarrassed to make any demands of Jiang Qiao.

However, the Wasp knight was clever. She kept casting glances at the axe-wielding man behind her.

The axe-wielding man sighed softly and had no choice but to pull out a pair of round-framed glasses and open the book titled “Modern Living and Entertainment Methods.”

“To describe it the way the book does, our shopping list includes a deck of playing cards, six laptops, specifically Alienware 51M, and six personal communication devices, mobile phones…” the axe-wielding man listed off the ‘essentials of modern people’ as if he were ordering from a menu.

Jiang Qiao stood to the side, listening quietly. He really wanted to hurl a book at his face and deal -99999 damage.

Do you really think the creator doesn’t need to work and earn money!

Jiang Qiao had reached a level of freedom in eating, drinking, and traveling through coding, but the price of one Alienware 51M could still cost him… about one and a half months’ worth of his manuscript fees.

The problem was the axe-wielding man wanted six! Buying those six would leave Jiang Qiao and Hai Lan with nothing left but to drink from the northwestern winds!

Jiang Qiao’s creating ability was built on the foundation of ‘what if I think’, trying to replicate real-world items like a notebook in the Holy Spirit World… which was a bit challenging.

Since the technology laws of the two worlds were not the same, the most Jiang Qiao could do was like showing a livestream to the Wasp knight, creating a semi-transparent screen that could display computer images.

As for Jiang Qiao’s financial reserves in the real world.

That’s where the pain of the game “Holy Spirit” lay, Jiang Qiao had yet to find a good way to monetize at this stage.

The most convenient way to monetize would be to sell equipment and Gold Coins officially through the game, but Jiang Qiao’s pride absolutely wouldn’t allow him to do so.

“The matter of you guys wanting to surf the internet, I’ll get that sorted for you. Skip the electronic devices for now, and if you want mobile phones, work hard! Earn enough performance from me and buy them yourselves!” Jiang Qiao said, “Any other requests?”

“We hope to help you explore other worlds,” the chatty axe-wielding man raised his hand again at that moment and said, “Her Majesty Mei’s kingdom has survived to this day in such a form…always discovered by you, the creator. So I wonder if my organization, my country, could also have survived, maybe scattered to other parts of this world?”

The proposition of the axe-wielding man instantly awakened everyone else. Queen Mei had this idea early on, but she dared not think too deeply about it.

It was about whether the other people from her country might have survived. In the instant the world fell apart, had they, by luck, crossed into other worlds?

But so many years had passed, even if the people of her kingdom had survived… it really was possible they were still alive.

The magic laws of Hai Lan’s past world were of a very high level; the lifespan of the world’s inhabitants was much longer than in other worlds. For an old mage, a few hundred years might indeed be survivable.

Not to mention some of the hero-level characters with special bloodlines.

“I’ll also consider this matter, but currently, I don’t have any worlds to offer for exploration. If I do get any, I’ll inform you,” Jiang Qiao said.

Jiang Qiao took out the system’s book and opened the star chart. In the star chart, the Sea Blue Goddess’s Divine Fragment plane was no longer to be found, only the planes of the Tower of Trial, of the Blue Star, and of the Holy Spirit’s native place remained around it.

The edge of the star chart showed a few barely discernible red and black dots; these suddenly appearing invasion planes, though still far from the Blue Star, put significant pressure on Jiang Qiao, including the invasion plane of the Obliteration Legion that possessed the ability to ‘fold space.’

If one day the invasion plane of the Obliteration Legion appeared next to the Blue Star and Jiang Qiao failed to notice it, the consequences were unimaginable, so the agenda of building worldly defenses was urgent.

“If there are no other questions, I’ll continue with our lesson,” Jiang Qiao said, tapping the whiteboard with his teaching stick.

This session lasted less than an hour. After informing them about this world’s way of life, Jiang Qiao chose to temporarily leave the instance lord’s residential plane.

Queen Mei also needed some time to adapt to her new life, and Jiang Qiao still had a lot of other matters to attend to.

The next thing was to feed the Sea Blue Goddess.

“You really won’t go see them?” Jiang Qiao logged out of the game state and saw Hai Lan curled up on the sofa watching TV.

She had always been watching the progress of the battle for divinity but had never shown herself before her former… followers.

“They quite like you, I think this is fine,” Hai Lan said with one hand hugging a pillow, burying half her face in it, while the other hand kept pressing the remote control, “I seem to have done something really terrible to my… followers in the past, and what’s worse, I can’t remember now, so… let it be.”

“…”

Jiang Qiao didn’t say anything but took the remote control from Hai Lan and turned off the TV.

“Let’s have barbecue tonight,” Jiang Qiao said.

“Barbecue? Is that the kind they talk about online where you cook raw meat on a stove?” Hai Lan perked up immediately at the mention of barbecue.

“Yeah, I’ve ordered fresh delivery, and we have an induction grill at home.”

Jiang Qiao glanced outside… He had been busy in the Holy Spirit World all this time, so returning to the real world felt somewhat surreal.

At this moment, light rain had started to fall outside. The Holy Spirit World was going to undergo maintenance in an hour.

The specifics of the maintenance Jiang Qiao hadn’t really thought about yet, he could only think about it after getting full.

……

“Barbecue, barbecue, barbecue.”

Hai Lan was tapping the table with chopsticks in each hand, while Jiang Qiao was the one acting as the chef. Jiang Qiao placed the pink pork belly on the induction grill, brushed a layer of olive oil over it, and then sprinkled a mix of cumin, sesame seeds, and chili powder before clipping it into Hai Lan’s bowl.

“How come I never had such delicious food before?” Hai Lan chewed on the pork belly but continued to complain.

“It tastes even better wrapped in lettuce leaves, and don’t dwell on the past too much, focus on the present,” he said.

“Mmm, mmm, mmm…” Hai Lan kept nodding her head.

Jiang Qiao looked at Hai Lan with her ‘resigned to fate’ demeanor and wondered if a more portly Sea Blue Goddess would be living in his house in a few months.

During this time, Jiang Qiao took the opportunity to scroll through online news related to Holy Spirit.

The popularity of Holy Spirit had gradually started to spread, meaning it was no longer confined to a small circle of players. Some major gaming media had also started to take interest in this new game, Holy Spirit.

While scrolling through Weibo, Jiang Qiao saw a very familiar gaming media post about Holy Spirit.

QGN Gaming Review Authority.

This gaming review authority was one of the most renowned in the world, with a perfect score of ten… most of their reviews were considered fair.

“Let me see…” Jiang Qiao clicked into the QGN review video of Holy Spirit.
