Chapter 23: The Profiteers

Akiren slowly woke up from his slumber in a bit of confusion.

"Why did you fall asleep?" Akihito gently pinched his eyebrows, and all the memories before falling asleep flooded into his mind.

Prayers to the Temple of the Dead, singing, and a golden dragon, the god of the earth spirits... BOSS!

Thinking of this, the sleepiness that Qiu Ren had left disappeared in an instant, and his attention turned directly to the screen.

Jiu'er in the game is still asleep, and her sleeping position is a little unladylike, and she can't be said to be a lady anymore, it should be said that it is not a sleeping position that a human should have.

Jiu'er sat on the ground in a duck sitting position, but her upper body fell backwards entirely, her cheeks yawning against the ground, and once again aimed her little ass at the screen where Akihito was.

This pose... Akihito can only say that the flexibility of this bird child's body is not ordinarily good.

Not dead?

Qiu Ren adjusted his perspective and found that Jiu'er was still in the depths of the Temple of the Dead, and the number of relics on his body remained at eighty-three, not missing.

Didn't the earth spirit kill Jiu'er while he was asleep?

Akihito was no longer visible in the surroundings, and it seemed that he had left the place while he was asleep.

"Five hours, that's too much time wasted." Qiu Ren glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the computer again, and the singing of the earth spirit god caused Qiu Ren and Jiu'er to fall asleep for five hours.

When Qiuren was about to push the joystick of the handle to wake up Jiu'er, there was a dream whisper from the earphones.

"Chocolate cake... Ahh

Qiu Ren didn't rush to wake her up when he heard her dream words, and waited until Jiu'er smashed her mouth and licked her upper lip, and Qiu Ren was basically sure that she had eaten the cake in her dream before pushing the joystick.

Jiu'er felt that her body was controlled by Qiu Ren again, and she woke up in an instant.

"Huh? Master? Just now... Cake..."

She looked around a little confused, her cheeks were on the ground for too long, and the carvings on the temple floor were still imprinted on her face in the form of red marks.

The light silver hair was also a little messy, and several strands of hair were stubbornly curled.

"You just fell asleep, the cake was in your dream, it's time to wake up... If you want to eat cake in reality. Qiu Ren briefly described the current situation to Jiu'er.

She quickly came back to her senses and quickly got up from the ground.

"Monster! Earth Spirits! Master, what about the earth spirit? ”

Jiu'er took out her feather blade as soon as she stood up, because before she fell asleep, she felt it from the Earth Spirit God... The oppressive power of that golden dragon.

That's a tricky and dangerous enemy!

"It's gone, but you can continue to walk deeper into this temple, try to explore it a little deeper."

Akihito continued to control Jiu'er towards the deeper part of the temple, but before he could take a few steps, the ethereal and melodious singing voice could be heard from the earphones.

Worst!

The moment Qiu Ren heard the singing, he felt a strong sleepiness sweeping over him, which made Qiu Ren turn off the volume of his headphones for the first time.

It's useless... The sleepiness in Qiu Ren's consciousness was still intensifying, and his eyelids kept falling as if he was being pulled by someone.

"Master, Jiu'er has become so sleepy again."

The status bar of Jiu'er also instantly jumped out of the state of DEBUFF "sleepy", and Qiu Ren hurriedly pressed the back button before falling asleep again, keeping Jiu'er away from the range that the song could influence.

Jiu'er, who escaped the scope of the singing, instantly woke up again.

"Trouble."

Qiu Ren looked at the empty temple corridor on the game screen, there were no monsters, no mechanisms, but because of the song from the earth spirit god, Jiu'er couldn't move an inch at all.

From the test just now, it can be seen that the singing voice of the earth spirit god has a strong sleep-inducing effect, and this effect cannot be alleviated by blocking the ears and cutting off the sense of hearing.

The song of the earth spirit god is closer to a spiritual attack, and the most troublesome thing is that it can affect Akihito in reality.

The attack on the spiritual consciousness will affect himself, which is actually not too surprising to Qiu Ren, after all, the godhead of the Snow Spirit God has strengthened his spirit and consciousness.

Then the corresponding enemy must have the same means of attack, but Akihito doesn't have a good way to defend for the time being... Qiu Ren can't stop Jiu'er because of this.

The question now is how to solve the sleepiness effect of the song of the earth spirit.

The best answer that Akihito can think of after thinking about it is only... Relic.

The effect of the relics in the feather spirit is ever-changing, and if there is any difficult problem to solve, then it must be that there are not enough relic treasure chests opened by Akihito.

Do you want to go back and explore?

There are still many areas in the wasteland of no return waiting for Akiren to explore, and in order to collect them all, Akiren will definitely find one in every corner.

But now Qiu Ren doesn't have this idle time, defeating the map boss and absorbing the opponent's godhead is one of the most efficient ways to make Jiu'er stronger.

The more efficient way to do this is to go to the next level of the map.

"It's surprising that after such a long time, I can still see a new face here..."

An unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded behind Jiu'er, and it didn't need to be controlled by Akihito... Jiu'er immediately turned around and showed his feather blade to the place where the voice came from.

After three days of long-term exploration, both Qiuren and Jiu'er understood one thing, that is, none of the NPCs in this ghost game can communicate!

The Snow Spirit God is also a Jiu'er who purifies her filth before she can communicate.

As long as Jiu'er meets a living creature in the wasteland, it is a monster who wants to gnaw off the bird's leg she gave her and use it as a baseball bat.

However, Akihito didn't press the attack button, and Jiu'er stood in place, watching the shadows of the sound.

It didn't take long for a figure wearing a white mask to walk out of the shadows, and the mask that the figure was wearing was very special, and there was a pale blue liquid flowing on the surface of the mask.

These liquids make up the expression of the mask's owner.

Akihito also saw the name floating on the other party's head the moment she walked out - "Water Spirit God"

When the water spirit god saw Jiu'er's true appearance, the mask on her face suddenly turned into an extremely surprised expression.

"You're back?" The voice of the water spirit god sounded a little excited and out of shape, but when she took a step forward, she quickly reacted, and took several steps back again and again, while constantly muttering, "No... No, it's just a little similar in appearance..."

"Come back?"

Qiu Ren keenly noticed some strange parts of her words, her gaze under the mask was staring at Jiu'er, but like Xue Lingshen, the object of her gaffe was not Jiu'er, but herself who controlled Jiu'er behind the scenes.

"It's just that I haven't seen a stranger for too long and I'm dazzled, but it doesn't matter."

The water spirit god tapped the bridge of his mask's nose with his hand, and the liquid on the mask reconstituted a smiling expression

"You look like you need help?" She said.

"We need something that will be free from the influence of the singing of the spirits... Do you have one? ”

Qiu Ren didn't ask anything superfluous, this water spirit god used 'you' to describe Jiu'er, obviously knowing Qiu Ren's existence.

"Earth spirits? I also hate the big guy's sound of eternal sleep, but I do have a solution, it just needs a little reward. ”

The water spirit god said as he compared the thumb and index finger of his left hand with a... Akihito was familiar with Bixin's gesture, but Akihito knew that in this situation, this gesture could also be understood as asking for money.

But this is a gesture that will only be bred by the earth's culture, how does this water spirit god know?

But doubts are put aside.

"You... How much do you want? Jiu'er took out his small purse, which is the feather that stores the human soul, and asked a little worriedly.

"It depends on how much you give, I finally have a customer, honest trading, I will show you my goods first."

Appeared! Akihito was wondering why there were no businessmen in the game, but it seemed that the positioning of the water spirit god was this.

She was wearing a costume that looked a bit like a long trench coat, and she directly pulled the corner of her trench coat as she spoke.

This scene made Akihito feel very déjà vu, and he always felt that there would be something called the Revolver called the Winged Butterfly in this guy's product list.

The interface of a game store appears on the computer screen, and the catalog is clearly optimized and organized.

Akihito took a cursory look at the things, and there weren't many things, and there were only thirty-five relics on sale.

And very expensive ... A light spirit feather has two hundred human souls, and it is not permanent but temporary.

But the role of the store is to search for the relics you want, and it is slightly more expensive than ten times, and this price Akihito can understand.

The most expensive relic in the shop is a legendary relic.

"The Sleepless's Blindfold

Legendary Relic: Passive

Description: Complete immunity to drowsiness effect"

THIS RELIC, WHICH IS COMPLETELY IMMUNE TO A CERTAIN DEBUFF, IS INDEED WORTHY OF THE LEGEND, BUT THE PRICE OF THIS RELIC IS 3,717 SOULS!

This is a price that Qiu Ren seems to shout out why don't you grab it, Qiu Ren is now pulling Jiu'er to brush up on the wasteland of no return for a long time, and if it goes well, he can save so many souls.

Coincidentally, this price happens to be the price of the human soul that Jiu'er is holding now, which means that it is just the price that Qiuren can afford to buy with all his family.

It's okay permanently, the problem is that it's temporary!

Akihito didn't think he would be able to kill the Earth Spirit God the first time he fought each other, so Jiu'er would definitely die once or twice, or even more...

"Are you putting this price on purpose?" Qiu Ren closed the shop interface and asked the water spirit god directly.

The arc of the smile on her mask widened, and the expression on the mask clearly said 'yes'.
