“Even the guild flags are out, that Little Hotpot Prince is too cunning!”
Bubble looked on from a distance at Mo Shigui, who was on top of the Flame Ash Dragon’s head, waving the Dancing Nuclear Guild flag.
He was wondering why he hadn’t thought to use this opportunity to promote his guild?
This holographic exhibit is being watched by audiences around the world… If they slapped on an advertisement, they could ride the wave of popularity!
“Chairman, check the mailbox.”
It was at this moment that Xue Bi sent him a private message out of the blue. Bubble hurriedly opened the guild’s mailbox and there lay an item named ‘flag’.
Guild flags are the most common DIY items for players. The patterns on the flags are hand-drawn using a drawing editor, and this flag naturally bore the mark of the Cola Fanatic.

“Quick, quick, quick! Find someone with the fastest movement speed to take the flag in front of the camera and wave it.” The moment Bubble saw the flag, he truly sighed in appreciation of his secretary.
The other guilds had the same cunning thoughts as Bubble. With such an excellent promotional stage, and with Dancing Nuclear leading the publicity for their club, the other guilds naturally couldn’t fall behind.
Thus, taking advantage of the less than ten seconds while the Flame Ash Dragon was controlled by multiple awakening skills, almost all the major guilds raised their flags emblazoned with their club or guild emblems at the same time.
“Eh? Does the Cola Fanatic guild also have a performance?”
Since Dancing Nuclear’s home ground is the Upper City, it wasn’t surprising for the fans to see their team emblem appear in this holographic exhibit. But they were taken aback when other clubs and some less known guilds started their own publicity stunts.
“It’s the Abyss Temple! Ah… White-eye dad, I’m dead.”
“My great Nan Feng roars too!”
“Ah… it’s Six Gods Floral Water!”
“What team is Six Gods Floral Water?”
“It’s just Six Gods Floral Water.”
It’s true that various guilds were raising their flags emblazoned with their logos, but some players took the opportunity to advertise, such as one holding a flag with Six Gods Floral Water on it.
The roaring of the Flame Ash Dragon once again echoed, and the chatter by the river was instantly drowned out by the dragon’s roar.
“Is the advertisement over? Are we finally going to start fighting?” The bystanders hadn’t had enough of the Flame Ash Dragon’s impressive special effects show.
But… the Flame Ash Dragon had no intention of performing for the crowd any longer. It broke free from the Saints’ awakening restraints and seemed to sense something, raising its head to look toward the sky.
Just as Dancing Nuclear and the Cola Fanatic guild planned to further corner the Flame Ash Dragon, it once again spread its colossal wings. With a wingspan of thirteen meters, it released a massive wind pressure that blew the nearby players away.
With another flap of its wings, it soared into the sky, heading towards the portal to Biland Island that floated in the night sky.
“Ran away?”
Bubble looked up at the Flame Ash Dragon as it ascended into the sky. With the dragon’s flying speed, it was impossible to summon a flying mount and catch up.
As the Flame Ash Dragon disappeared into the high sky, the silhouettes of the spectating crowd gradually vanished too.
Two prompts popped up in front of all the players standing on the river surface.
‘Thank you, Saints, for driving away the Flame Ash Dragon. Please accept this as a reward — Upper City Region Challenge Voucher X3.’
‘In-world experience has ended, and you will be teleported back to Biland Island map in ten seconds.’
“So it was just an experiential gameplay? When will they update the official version?” Bubble smacked his lips. The feeling of fighting a boss in front of so many people, especially in front of those who can’t play Saints, was pretty great.
Bubble’s complaint received no response, and after the ten-second countdown, he was teleported back to Biland Island.
……
In the real world’s Upper City.
Jiang Qiao, despite saying he didn’t want to visit the holographic exhibition in the upper city, was still dragged over by his mom’s command.
Now, Jiang Qiao was standing on the outskirts of the upper city’s riverside in his actual body.
The egg of the Flame Ash Dragon had been sent back to Biland Island by Jiang Qiao, which is why the Flame Ash Dragon had stopped ravaging the inner world and chose to return to Biland Island. As for the Shadow Chosen, he had already been locked away by Jiang Qiao.
From the beginning, Jiang Qiao never intended to kill the Flame Ash Dragon. It was just that the ‘special effects’ of the dragon’s battle were really cool and magnificent, and its appearance was full of power and dominance, which is why Jiang Qiao allowed the Flame Ash Dragon to break through the portal’s restrictions to come to the inner world… to participate in this holographic exhibition.
After this holographic exhibition, the Flame Ash Dragon would probably become the face of the Holy Spirit, or rather the cover monster. In future game covers of the Holy Spirit, there would certainly be a place for the Flame Ash Dragon.
As a popular monster, Jiang Qiao certainly did not want to kill the Flame Ash Dragon, but the spectators who were watching felt somewhat unfulfilled by the Holy Spirit’s holographic exhibition.
Especially when the following holographic show changed back to an old folks’ song and dance party.
“Ah? The dispute holographic exhibition is over just like that? I feel I haven’t seen enough!”
“You cloud player! That monster wasn’t from Dispute; it’s the Flame Ash Dragon from Holy Spirit.”
“You’re the cloud player, that’s obviously the Flame Prison Dominator from Dispute, didn’t you see all eight guilds appearing?”
Jiang Qiao quietly listened to the discussion of two passersby without expressing any opinion. These two bystanders represented the view of the majority of the audience.
Many people thought the Flame Ash Dragon was a monster from Dispute, but a small number of Holy Spirit players, or a small number of players paying attention to Holy Spirit and wanting to play it, were refuting their view.
But most of the onlookers were older people who didn’t play games. They found the quarrel between these young lads a bit baffling and noisy.
All of this was irrelevant to Jiang Qiao… The Flame Ash Dragon battle in this holographic exhibition was intended for those who wanted to play Holy Spirit or understood the game.
“Kind of looking forward to tomorrow’s headlines,” Jiang Qiao said, glancing at the distant holographic exhibition, which would continue until midnight.
As Jiang Qiao hesitated whether to stay and watch till the end, he received a text message on his phone. It was from the Mind Energy Master in the game ‘Happy Gaming’.
‘Guild leader, do you want to go for hot pot tonight?’ Zhao Mingwei sent this message, which was related to reality.
‘Hot pot?’
Jiang Qiao sent a defeated salted fish emoticon laying on the couch, with a caption under it, ‘I’ve run out of money to splurge’.
‘Someone’s treating.’ Zhao Mingwei said, and also sent a location, which was precisely an address of a riverside hot pot restaurant.
‘How did you know I’m in the upper city?’
Jiang Qiao remembered he hadn’t told anyone about being dragged up to the upper city by his mom.
‘When we were fighting the Flame Ash Dragon, didn’t you activate the Summoner Awakening over the river surface?’ Zhao Mingwei asked.
‘?’
‘?’
Jiang Qiao sent a question mark over, and Zhao Mingwei replied with a question mark as well.
‘That was in the game, I logged into the Holy Spirit AR version.’ Jiang Qiao sent a salted fish facepalming emoticon, and Zhao Mingwei sent back a yellow face with a sweat emoji.
It seemed like he only just realized that the Jiang Qiao he had met in the upper city was from the Holy Spirit AR version, which was Jiang Qiao’s in-game character.
Jiang Qiao’s real body could very well still be at home in Jiang City.
But the truth was… Jiang Qiao was indeed in the upper city.
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Qiao still sent a salted fish following the footsteps of a leader emoticon shouting ‘I want to play with you guys too’.
Just going for some hot pot should be fine, considering Jiang Qiao could only be considered a nobody among a bunch of esports legends.
