Sacred Souls: Genesis - Chapter 305

Chapter 305: Chapter 294 How Much Per Jin (3rd Update) Chapter 305: Chapter 294 How Much Per Jin (3rd Update) Drake was already lobbying to the point where his mouth felt dry, but only seven had actually joined the ranks of the plane pirates.

What on earth were these saints doing?

Drake took off the monocle he was wearing on his right eye and wiped it before putting it back on.

This monocle was a Divine Artifact exchanged from the Devouring God, named ‘Peeping Eye of Devouring’.

The function of the Divine Artifact was simple yet fairly useless.

It was to analyze the battle strength of the descendants of the Devouring God. Apart from this, there were other Divine Artifacts to choose from, such as Peeping Eye of Chaos and Eye of Annihilation.

These trinkets from the Devouring God were also the best auxiliary means for the plane pirates when showing dominance over the weak.

Measuring combat strength was multifaceted, taking into account not only the level and equipment of the saints themselves but also the degree of combat skill, which was a very important criterion of evaluation and the most crucial one at that.

A child may not know how to use a nuclear bomb, even if they had one in their hands, but it would be a different story for a nuclear weapons expert.

The power of the Devouring God was that nuclear bomb. How much of this power these descendants could unleash was the most important standard for measuring combat strength!

Now… Drake just wanted to know whether the battle strength of these saints before him was strong or weak.

He spent half an hour summarizing and organizing the combat strength of the saints in the strategic initiation point. Most of the saints within had a combat strength ranging from seventy thousand to one hundred fifty thousand.

That detestable War God Urd, whom he had lobbied, boasted a battle strength of one hundred thousand.

As Drake was contemplating whether to cause some trouble for War God Urd, suddenly, some exaggeratedly high numbers appeared on the Peeping Eye of Devouring.

Who?

Drake’s gaze shifted instantly from casual gamers still looking at strategies on the forum to the entrance of the strategic initiation point, where a figure clad in pitch-black armor came into direct view.

The moment Drake saw the oppressive aura emanating from the pitch-black armor, he truly wanted to slap his thigh and exclaim, ‘This is more like it!’
The outfits of the saints inside the strategic initiation point, including their bubble costumes, looked more like amusement park employees meant to cheer up children than warriors on a battlefield, and they were the kind that could scare kids to tears.

Meanwhile, the saint clad in pitch-black armor had an astonishing combat strength of five hundred fifty-four thousand!

What delighted Drake the most was that the saints accompanying the knight in black armor, dressed similarly, all had combat strengths far exceeding most saints in the initiation point.

Their average combat strength was over three hundred thousand, and one of them was a gunman and another, wielding a long spear, astonishingly had combat strengths of five hundred ninety thousand and six hundred ten thousand respectively.

They! This guild must join our pirate crew!

Drake watched as members of the elite tactical team, who were still discussing tactics, arrived. If it weren’t for Jiang Qiao’s indication that he couldn’t stray too far from the caravan shop, he might have directly and enthusiastically approached them.

But Drake was not in a hurry; he could feel that the members of the tactical team were coming for him.

At this moment, Drake began to feel sorry for War God Urd. That foolish alliance of gods had spent so much time lobbying a saint with a mere battle strength of one hundred thousand.

“President, are you sure it’s reliable to have that healer go look for the chosen of the Shadow God?”

Caramel, with his cola frenzy, had just used up his Challenge Voucher and arrived behind the bubble with the cola-frenzied elite squad.

Like Zhao Mingwei, he spent every day practicing getting hit under Teacher Thorne. Today he had taken some time out in the inner world searching for traces of the chosen of the Shadow God, but to no avail.

“Leave it to the merchant; I feel like she’s got more wares than the game’s NPC shops do, and who’s going to analyze the strategy posts on the forum?” Bubble said.

Drake heard the chatter from the cola frenzy group and in an instant, he saw the combat power value above Caramel’s head.

Seven hundred thousand!

Is this spirit a monster?

Of course not, Drake was using the Divine Artifact for the first time and didn’t know the difference between a spirit with a combat power of one hundred thousand and one with seven hundred thousand.

When the cola frenzy’s elite strategy team arrived, their average combat power value was also above three hundred thousand.

Drake didn’t get flustered though, as a pirate he always had to be clear on one thing: what exactly he was planning to plunder!

Right now, he was after the spirits with quivering nuclei!

“Are you the plane pirates?” a voice rang out in front of Drake, and his gaze shifted to where the quivering nuclei were.

He was about to introduce the long history of plane pirates to these elite spirits when… a lone combat power of one hundred thousand and one floated above the head of the spirit who had just spoken to him.

What kind of trash is this?

Drake’s brows knitted together, but the expression quickly disappeared; Drake’s primary goal this time was to recruit as many spirits as possible.

Quantity was the foremost priority, quality was secondary. So, no matter what the combat power rating of the spirits, Drake welcomed them.

It’s just that after seeing so many high combat power spirits, suddenly popping out a one hundred thousand and one caused quite a psychological drop for him.

“Plane pirates are just a name others have given us; we prefer to call ourselves merchants of anything and everything, spirits,” Drake said, delivering his favorite opening line, “as long as you’re willing to join us, every item in the world can be priced and become your merchandise.”

“Do you sell Magic Thieves?” General Silver went straight to the point with a crucial question.

Along the way, he and Mo Shigui had analyzed the pros and cons of the new version’s faction system, and General Silver had decided not to join any faction, aiming to gain the maximum benefit by playing between the three factions.

But Mo Shigui thought that doing business in the game was different from reality. Without joining a faction, he would be unable to receive faction equipment and rewards, so he had to pick a faction to join to get the best rewards in the game.

As for which faction to join, Mo Shigui and General Silver discussed it all the way but couldn’t decide; the unanimous decision was… to go with whichever faction, between the plane pirates and the breeding facility, sold more Magic Thieves.

“Sell… Magic Thieves?” Drake was momentarily baffled by General Silver’s question, but quickly sorted out his thoughts, “Spirit, you’ve certainly hit me with a big order right off the bat. We do have Magic Thieves among our goods, but they aren’t something you can just buy if you have the money!”

Drake had wanted to gently coax them into joining his faction, but once the news that plane pirates were selling Magic Thieves got out, it spread from one to a hundred, and from the group chat they went on to post in forums.

In an instant, all the spirits on Biland Island knew that the plane pirates were selling Magic Thieves!

“What? You actually sell Magic Thieves too? Why didn’t you say so earlier!”

“How much for Magic Thieves per pound? Do you offer free shipping if I buy ten pounds at once?”

“Why isn’t there an option to trade; how much are your Magic Thieves per pound? Show us to see if they are of good quality.”

Players who were previously focused on looking at strategy guides came flooding from all directions. Seeing the starting base gradually turning into something resembling a vegetable market, Drake really wanted to shout at these spirits, ‘If we could capture so many Magic Thieves, why would we recruit you spirits?’
“Spirits, procuring extremely scarce items, join us! Our pirate crew has countless ways to meet the supply and demand of this… Magic Thief market,” Drake shouted, seizing the opportunity.
