Sacred Souls: Genesis

Chapter 237: Chapter 234 Fureya’s Sorrow

Chapter 237 -234 Fureya’s Sorrow

“We don’t need to worry about that hidden quest,”

Mo Shigui had gathered all the members at the stronghold to discuss the development following the Nucleus Leap.

Starting today, for the next five days, he would be in Korea for the intercontinental competition, which would last for a full five days… During this period, he wouldn’t be able to log in to ‘Sacred Spirit’.

Since ‘Sacred Spirit’ is the world’s first game… to block IPs from outside its country, Mo Shigui didn’t quite understand the game operator’s logic. In fact, whether the game even had an operator was debatable.

In these five days, he had already planned the future development of the stronghold. Now, he was just addressing some special affairs.

“President, what if other guilds go after the remaining two Island Masters during this period?” Mama Dog asked a question of concern to the whole guild.

Perhaps for Nucleus Leap, Abyss Temple, and Sovereign Overworld, the main force would be at the intercontinental competition, but other guilds’ raid teams would all be present, especially those irrational guys from Cola Mania. Even if their members went to the competition, it wouldn’t impact their progress on Biland Island.

Currently, Cola Mania had the highest progress on building the teleportation portal, reaching 92 percent, while Nucleus Leap was only at 83 percent.

Therefore, Cola Mania was the guild most likely to organize a group to defeat the Island Masters in the near future.

“You guys can join the fight. The rewards from the Island Masters can be claimed by everyone. During this time, pay attention to the operation of the stronghold, especially the food supply. Don’t let it collapse!”

As Mo Shigui spoke, he glanced at Sheral gnawing on a bone. He was still pondering what to do with Sheral, whether to dump this NPC at another stronghold to plague other guilds.

“We assure you the task will be completed! President, rest easy. We lost in the summer competition, but in the intercontinental competition, on the world stage, we cannot afford to lose again,”

“Who can be so sure? This year’s Korean teams are so formidable, I feel it’s going to be fifty-fifty,”

“Who says it’s fifty-fifty? Lowering morale before the battle? Drag them out and behead!”

Mo Shigui listened to the discussions of the guild members, the atmosphere was very relaxed… In fact, everyone had been quite disheartened after losing the summer competition, and the overwhelming online criticism against Nucleus Leap had left many true fans feeling quite aggrieved.

Mo Shigui felt they were also somewhat self-blaming. Many people in the guild chat had been complaining that if the competitors hadn’t played ‘Sacred Spirit,’ maybe they could have won.

Mo Shigui remembered that the COO had snapped back at these remarks with a sentence—’If we didn’t play ‘Sacred Spirit,’ we would have lost more miserably!’

At that time, Mo Shigui and other guild members couldn’t understand this, but now, looking at the COO happily hopping around the stronghold, Mo Shigui somewhat understood the meaning behind his words.

“We will win the intercontinental competition! We’re going to dominated every single Korean team and show you,” Mo Shigui said.

“That confident?” Black Pot Who Cooks Meat, who had also sneaked online, was a bit dazed.

“The president is the coach of Nucleus Leap, he might have some secret weapon,”

“Damn it! Those rhythm-leading trolls on Weibo really deserve to lose an entire household registration book. We need to slap their faces hard in the intercontinental competition!” Mama Dog called out fiercely.

“Alright! The COO has spent a lot of money recruiting a bunch of promising new members. If you have time, go train with the newcomers and get to know them. That’s all I’ve got to say; I have to catch a flight soon! The rest will be organized by Velvet Rabbit.”

After saying that, Mo Shigui left everyone’s sight and headed toward the ancient Resolute Tree in the stronghold. He could still hear the guild members behind him wondering, ‘Could there be cute girls among the recruits?’ ‘I looked over the new member list, there seem to be quite a few girls?’ ‘I’m talking about real girls!’

The guild members gradually moved on from the shadow of defeat in the summer competition. Mo Shigui should have logged off immediately, but after some thought, he decided to visit his Fureya.

He walked into the hollow of the ancient Resolute Tree; after two upgrades to the Nucleus Leap stronghold, Fureya’s room had grown to fifteen square meters and had been transformed into a very cozy little cabin.

When Mo Shigui walked in, Fureya stood by the wooden window, gazing outside.

“Holy Spirit, you have returned.”

Fureya seemed to snap out of her daze, turning her body to look at Mo Shigui who entered the cabin.

The last monster siege hadn’t caused any harm to his Fureya; even when the Rhinoceros Dragon rammed into the ancient tree, it only knocked some vases in Fureya’s room to the floor.

“Your condition seems off,” Mo Shigui opened up his own Fureya’s panel. Right now, Mo Shigui’s Fureya could provide him with a twelve percent experience bonus, along with a five percent battle movement speed bonus, and a three percent boost to all attributes.

These constant blessings were the benefits Fureya could bring players in the game. However, his Fureya had one…negative attribute.

This negative attribute was emotional… it was sadness.

In Fureya’s emotional column, there was a deep purple entry for sadness.

“I… don’t know.” Fureya gently placed her hand over her chest and whispered, “I have felt this emotion before but… I don’t understand what it is. I can hear a voice, the voice of this island… It seems to be pleading with me for something.”

“Pleading for what? A sympathy storyline?” Mo Shigui thought of Sheral… but she seemed happy gnawing on a bone. Logically, his own Fureya should also be content.

“Can you hear it?” Fureya slightly lifted her head. At that moment, sitting across the long table, Mo Shigui clenched his left hand because he could see a tear trickling down from the corner of Fureya’s right eye.

“A sound like a sob. I’m sorry… Holy Spirit, perhaps I’ve said too much.”

Fureya wasn’t even aware of the tears falling down her cheeks; maybe the puppet didn’t even know what tears were.

Damn it… what kind of storyline is this?

As a seasoned player, Mo Shigui instantly understood what this meant. If either of the Island Masters were killed, his Fureya might…

“Old Song! Are you done? It’s time to board!” Suddenly, Heiguo Zhu Rou’s voice from reality sounded in Mo Shigui’s ear.

Mo Shigui’s train of thought was interrupted… he fell silent for a while…

“I will be gone for five days,” Mo Shigui knew these words were meaningless to a game character; whether Fureya had any concept of time was questionable.

“I will always be waiting here for your return, forever,” Fureya whispered softly.

“…”

Mo Shigui placed his hand on his VR headset, ready to log off, but suddenly, his Fureya spoke again.

“Holy Spirit, when you are away… may I write letters to you?” His Fureya asked.

Letters? What’s that about?

In that instant, a window popped up in front of Mo Shigui.

‘Congratulations, your Fureya’s affection level has reached seventy-three, comprehending the emotion: sadness, character leaning towards being sentimental +0.1. Reward: Letter from Fureya.’

Mo Shigui clicked confirm right away… he had no time to check what this letter system was about; his Fureya just said ‘thank you’ and then he took off his VR headset.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw the familiar scene of the city’s airport.

“Everyone else is on the plane already! It’s just you and me left!” Heiguo Zhu Rou, pushing his boarding case, sprinted towards the check-in gate.
