Chapter 282: Chapter 273: The Invisible Guardian (2nd Update) Chapter 282: Chapter 273: The Invisible Guardian (2nd Update) “Hidden Proliferation Task: The Invisible Guardian.”

Task Description: You have heard from Thorne, a former member of the Annihilation Legion… about the impending catastrophe of the Annihilation Legion and the conspiracy they are brewing. Fureya is the main target of the Annihilation Legion, but this is a secret only you know.

Task Objective: Before the arrival of the Annihilation Legion, spread the word to as many Divine Spirits as possible and make them believe in this matter. Anyone who trusts you will undertake this hidden task. Note: The Divine Spirits forum will be linked with this task.

Current Number of Task Undertakers: 1
Target Number of Task Undertakers: 10
Task Reward: Fureya’s Guidestone*Heaven.”

“A hidden proliferation task? Wait a minute… My goodness! A Fureya Guidestone that lasts for an entire day.”

Adding Milk Without Increasing Price was more concerned with the task’s reward; Fureya’s Guidestone had also become one of the hard currencies among the Divine Spirits.

This item could only be obtained through the goodwill rewards of NPCs, and its effect was to let your own Fureya leave the treehouse and wander around the stronghold for half an hour.

But the duration of this Fureya Guidestone was an entire day!

A Guidestone that lasted half an hour was selling for three thousand bucks each on the market 4396, so how much would a Guidestone that lasted an entire day sell for?

The answer is crazy devaluation.

“Why isn’t it a repeatable task? I just don’t know if it can be undertaken repeatedly.” Adding Milk Without Increasing Price felt like she was on the verge of collapse and thought about picking up the cross to trigger awakening.

It was like discovering a huge gold mine, but not being able to keep it all to yourself. You had to bring the entire village in to mine it.

But the problem was, once the villagers mined it, the value of gold in the village plummeted; nobody outside the village wanted it either!

“Don’t stay here! Come make trouble with me.” Seeing the situation, Adding Milk Without Increasing Price decided not to stay and get tangled up with these Divine Chosen Ones.

She grabbed Jiang Qiao Fureya’s hand and directly pulled Fureya out of the place… Thorne watched as Adding Milk Without Increasing Price hastily left, the question “Are you willing to cooperate with me now?” never making it out of his mouth.

He was still waiting for Adding Milk Without Increasing Price to help him drain his health; Thorne couldn’t see his own health bar.

“After the descent of the Annihilation Legion is over, she should come to complete the task you gave her,” Jiang Qiao waved to Thorne and prepared to leave as well.

Jiang Qiao could let Thorne see his health bar too, but since Adding Milk Without Increasing Price had initiated the task, she still needed to complete it by herself.

“What if she doesn’t survive this descent?” Thorne suddenly asked Jiang Qiao.

“What did you say?” Jiang Qiao turned to look at Thorne, his eyebrows furrowing instantly.

“A premonition… Devouring God, the life force on your Divine Spirit has already become very dim,” Thorne said.

“…I will protect her. What about you?”

Jiang Qiao would protect Adding Milk Without Increasing Price out of friendship, although he wasn’t sure whether Thorne was referring to her character in the game or… to her real-life existence when he made that remark.

“She is no longer of any concern to me,” Thorne looked down and wiped his iron rod with his fingertips. “She has already broken her promise, so there is no need for me to honor that promise. I have self-respect, Devouring God. I won’t go out of my way to please anyone, including you.”

“You really had the nerve to say that; just don’t start praising it in a few days.”

After leaving that comment, Jiang Qiao caught up with Fureya who was adding milk without raising the price.

Using her Special Equipment, she had already teleported herself and Jiang Qiao’s Fureya back to the initial camp.

The atmosphere at the initial camp was still very laid-back and leisurely, with people dance battling or playing cards as usual.

Queen Mei didn’t have to work at the Divine Battlefield today and was standing by her carriage shop as usual, issuing quests to players.

Right after she had sent one player away, she saw Fureya, who was adding milk without raising the price, rushing towards her, dragging a wild Fureya behind her.

No, not a wild Fureya… Queen Mei recognized it right away, it was Jiang Qiao’s domesticated Fureya.

What on earth is going on with this spirit? Dragging out the great Devouring God’s domesticated Fureya to run wild in the streets?

Queen Mei placed her hand on her twin swords, recognizing Fureya who often set up a stall near her to sell things.

Could it be that Fureya was planning to sell Jiang Qiao’s Fureya this time?

This idea was floating around in Queen Mei’s mind when Fureya, dragging Jiang Qiao’s prototype Fureya, stood right beside her.

Queen Mei, wearing a calico cat headgear, began to change the expression on her headgear wildly, like morse code, using this method to communicate with Fureya.

At its core, Fureya was an AI creature, so she understood the ‘Morse code’ Queen Mei was sending her, which meant…

“If she’s caught you and is planning to sell you, just let out a squeak.”

Fureya shook her head slightly, while Fureya, who was adding milk without raising the price, had already set up her stall and took out her megaphone as usual…
“Wild Fureya, three gold per pound… pfft! Hidden quest! Who wants to take on a hidden quest?”

Fureya corrected herself after biting her tongue, as she wasn’t that good at creating a buzz or heating up the atmosphere.

Nonetheless, within the realm of the spirits, Fureya was quite a celebrity, always maintaining a spot in the top twenty of Raccoon Livestream in terms of heat, though her forum account on the divine realm’s forum was less known.

But Fureya made a post, “Hidden Quest! Reward includes a Fureya Guide Stone calculated by days!”

This post’s title was enough to attract countless forum veterans to click in, and the keyword they were interested in wasn’t the hidden quest, but the Fureya Guide Stone.

This item was coveted by all spirits, as valuable as a piece of orange gear.

“Pig-headed nurse, why aren’t you selling food today? I’m short a dried meat for my dish.”

The base of the Cola Fanatics was closest to the initial camp, and MacCoffee, a member of the Cola Fanatics and a regular customer of Fureya’s, was a chef by livelihood, enjoying cooking various dishes to feed her own Fureya in addition to hunting monsters.

This led to MacCoffee’s Fureya changing from a slender to a slightly plump… or shall we say, richly figured?

“The dried meat is already on sale! Are you going to take on the hidden quest? For the Fureya Guide Stone.”

Fureya felt like she was holding a clearance sale at a loss, something she would never do in her lifetime, but since the hidden quest was a non-repeatable task and she couldn’t sell Fureya’s Guide Stones, clearing out her inventory by selling the items she had hoarded, taking advantage of the popularity and heat the hidden quest was about to bring, was also a good idea.
