Chapter 86: Chapter 85: King of Passersby
“What’s written in the diary?”
Jiang Qiao was holding a bucket of popcorn, watching the Starry Scribes team on Raccoon live-streaming.
The Starry Scribes’ live stream was ranked seventh in the Holy Spirit section on Raccoon Streaming, but ever since he followed the Dancing Nuclear Guild into a private library and found… Queen Mei’s diary.
He changed the stream’s title to “Live Reading of Queen Mei’s Private Diary, Hurry if You Wanna Watch”.
This title change proved extremely effective, as Jiang Qiao watched his popularity soar from seventh to third place.
However, the Starry Scribes didn’t even get a chance to read the diary, because they were now being chased by Queen Mei together with the Dancing Nuclear Guild.
...
“I don’t have the authority to answer you, Her Majesty Mei will have all these thieves executed.” Wasp Knight stood behind Jiang Qiao, watching the live stream with him.
She didn’t understand what that translucent screen’s strange magic was, but she looked very worried when she saw the Holy Spirits breaking into the palace.
Yet, this concern turned into cheers of applause as Queen Mei gradually eliminated several intruders.
“If you won’t answer, don’t bother. Hey, another new guest has arrived,” Jiang Qiao said.
Jiang Qiao put down his bucket of popcorn as another figure fell into the garden, the figure of Lion Heart Knight, the strongest knight under Queen Mei.
His golden armor bore many scorched marks from the Holy Spirits’ bombardment, but according to Jiang Qiao’s estimation, Lion Heart Knight could hold out from three to seven hours against the players’ siege.
“Nolan! You despicable traitor!”
The first words Lion Heart Knight shouted upon regaining consciousness were these, and it didn’t take long for him to realize that his surroundings were no longer the front-line battlefield.
“Sigel! Did Nolan kill you too?” Wasp Knight immediately approached Lion Heart Knight, anxiously asking him.
“He ambushed me while I was fighting the Holy Spirits.”
Lion Heart Knight weakly rose from the ground, but he was so weak that he didn’t even have the strength to stand, and soon after standing, he weakened and fell back to the ground.
“Damn it!” Lion Heart Knight pounded the ground with his fist, as the royal palace was under siege by the Holy Spirits’ army, and it wasn’t time for him to rest!
“Before you plan to kill the Red Knight, why don’t you first find out what they’re really up to?”
Jiang Qiao came up to Lion Heart Knight, opened another livestream using a small web browser tool from the Sky Palace—this stream belonged to the top Holy Spirit nurse, Extra Milk No Extra Price.
This nurse found out she could make money from livestreaming and started to host professionally, though her popularity was modest, barely making it into the top ten.
“Who are you?” Lion Heart Knight looked at Jiang Qiao, dressed as a Summoner, and for a moment, he hadn’t linked Jiang Qiao with the enemy.
“Your future landlord, it’s a bit complicated to explain right now, just watch this for now, it’ll show you what the Red Knight is trying to do,” Jiang Qiao said.
Jiang Qiao pushed the livestream of Extra Milk No Extra Price towards Lion Heart Knight. Lion Heart Knight really wanted to chase after Jiang Qiao with the three major philosophical questions of who you are, where is this, and what should I do,
but as soon as Lion Heart Knight saw Red Knight Nolan appear in the livestream window, he swallowed all his questions and fixated on Nolan’s figure.
His gaze was like a real lion, wanting to skin the Red Knight alive and eat him piece by piece.
And the name of Extra Milk No Extra Price’s livestream was also quite interesting, “Second Day of Infiltrating the Enemy and Picking Up Trash.”
Free refills remained just another player, only she belonged to that breed of top-tier healer, leading the pack in an era where everyone was leveling up. Now, among the two thousand or so max-level players, her gear was good enough to serve as the main healer in some of the big guilds.
Only this time, in the instance battle of divine might, Free refills chose a different path—she chose to turn traitor.
Jiang Qiao had no idea what she had done to earn the trust of the Red Knight, but she had effectively become a little sidekick to him.
Today was her second day as the little sidekick to the Red Knight.
“I acknowledge the power you Saints possess, to be able to entangle Sigel and even weaken him to such an extent,”
The Red Knight, at the top level of his Mage Tower, while the players attempting to conquer the Red Knight were fighting with his familiars below, was extremely vulnerable; he had granted all the power bestowed by Queen Mei to his familiars.
This also allowed the Red Knight to focus on the plans he had at the top of the tower.
“But it ends here. The moment Queen Mei dies, this shattered world will disappear along with those Saints.”
“Scary, scary.”
While responding to the Red Knight, Free refills sneakily stuffed some bottles, vials, and books from the table into her backpack when the Red Knight wasn’t looking.
Jiang Qiao watched Free refills’ nimble movements, suspecting that this kid’s profession was more of a thief than a healer.
But such thievery did not seem improper to Jiang Qiao. After all, the logic for players concerning in-game items was ‘I paid to play this game, so everything in the game is mine.JPG’
Although Saints was a free-to-play game, this logic still stood.
“However, I also admire your strength, so before this world is destroyed, I allow you to accompany me to a new world,” the Red Knight turned and spoke to Free refills again.
“Impressive, impressive.”
Free refills, saying this, stuffed a Magic Crystal into her backpack right in front of the Red Knight.
The backpacks of Saints players are tiered, from the lowest with fifteen slots to the highest with fifty slots, and a player could equip up to five backpacks.

Free refills’ life profession was a Scavenger, which implied being a garbage collector, and one advantage of this profession was that it rewarded three ‘Broken Backpacks’ during job-related quests. These backpacks were the top-tier fifty-slot packs but limited to carrying ‘other’ types of items, like materials, trash, books, etc.
Armed with four Broken Backpacks, while other players were busy battling monsters, Free refills littered the royal city, scavenging and looting.
As she was looting, she ended up in the Mage Tower of the Red Knight, who did not kill her. Instead, Free refills’ skilled healing won the Red Knight’s admiration.
After a brief exchange, feeling that Free refills was a talent, he took her in as his little sidekick.
Yet, this little sidekick was nearly cleaning out the Red Knight’s Mage Tower.
Jiang Qiao genuinely wondered… After she packed up and took away the items from the Mage Tower, she would begin using her skills to dismantle the Mage Tower brick by brick to take them away.
After all, the bricks of this Mage Tower were quite valuable.
“The Annihilation Legion is coming; they will deliver a Critical Strike to Queen Mei. I think they will understand my reasons; this decayed world holds no meaning for salvation,” the Red Knight said again.
“Understandable, understandable.”
Free refills, saying this, packed a wooden table into her fifty-slot backpack.
