Chapter 207: 207, [Deity Descending to Mortals] (asking for monthly tickets!)
Translator: 549690339
Lu Xun watched the posts on the forum, the heat was even higher than he had imagined.
The reason was several wealthy players idling around and adding to the hype.
Among these wealthy players, there was an old acquaintance of Lu Xun, the guild master of the Knights Guild, the super-rich playboy, Mei Qianhua.
He directly commented on the post, saying: If I get picked by the White Emperor, gain favorability, and learn the “Qi Consumption Technique”, I’ll immediately throw a cash giveaway of 880,000 yuan on the forum!
Yes, the “Heavenly Dust” forum allows for cash giveaways, you can send red packets.
For example, some players might brag in the forum about getting a high-level magical weapon, then many players underneath would call for them to give away money.
People like Mei Qianhua, who brags and then immediately gives out a cash reward, are the most loved people on the forum.
Under the leadership of Mei Qianhua, several other famous high-rolling players in the game community got involved, each showing their prowess.
The bragging was bigger than ever.
The posts related to the White Emperor got even more hyped up!
“This guy is still the same, crude but subtle.” Lu Xun chuckled, “He’s also seizing the opportunity to promote his guild, creating a buzz.”
He didn’t have a personal relationship with Mei Qianhua. Their acquaintance was mainly due to receiving many missions from the Knights Guild.
The guild master was generous, reliable, and straightforward. Working with him was quite comfortable.
Despite appearing jovial and good at seizing every opportunity to show off his wealth, he was not a fool.
As a matter of fact, in the 22nd century, many wealthy people’s children not only had a head start but also grew up in better environments with more abundant educational resources. Only a small number were unlearned.
Although these people had various personalities and some indeed had obvious character flaws, it was rare to see complete failures amongst them.
Some people might outperform you in both starting point and exertion.
This is terrifying.
Of course, it doesn’t rule out those who are genuinely bad.
“Who would’ve thought? I indirectly received your favor.” Lu Xun chuckled after reading the post.
“Qi Consumption Technique” exploded like a depth charge in the forum.
Who wouldn’t drool over the opportunity to join the Demon Sect?
If a bunch of low-tier skills were merely attractive, the “Qi Consumption Technique” was a fatal attraction!
Many of the guilds and esports clubs’ management started hosting meetings instantly.
If any guild players or esports players were near Plum City, they would be immediately transferred to Plum City!
Cai Jiangjiang had received numerous private messages, with many familiar esports players asking for information.
For them, whether it’s one of the three Demon Sects or four Righteous Sects, joining any would smooth their futures.
A higher starting point also means an easier journey ahead.
There were countless people envying Cai Jiangjiang.
Furthermore, Cai Jiangjiang was a popular player. Every move she made naturally attracted attention, which certainly helped fuel the situation.
Players outside the Demon Sect’s territory were beating their chests in frustration, feeling that their luck was too poor.
Why were others treated so well? Their regions didn’t have an NPC like the White Emperor.
They didn’t have enough time to rush over there!
Watching these posts, Lu Xun could clearly feel the skyrocketing popularity of the character of the White Emperor. It was almost at the same level as the Purple Palace!
After all, although the Purple Palace was powerful and had a noble status, there was a sense of distance. It seemed to be a boss-level NPC, but it was far removed.
It showed up once during the closed beta phase, and players hadn’t seen it since the formal beta launch.
It was too remote for current players and had no relevance to their immediate benefits.
But the White Emperor was different; this was an NPC that could propel players in the early stage!
It was hard to say which was higher or lower between a golden leg that seemed far and a silver leg right before one’s eyes.
In addition, from the perspective of appearance, both were the type that would catch one’s eye.
Especially when it comes to female players. Why can’t we exercise a little more freedom in the virtual world compared to real life and love a few more characters?
No multiple-choice questions for me! I’ll take both of these characters!
“If there were a popularity ranking for NPCs right now, I wouldn’t know if the Purple Palace or the White Emperor would be on top.” Lu Xun thought to himself.
Funny enough, some players expressed their love for both NPCs, while others had a preference for one. Debates broke out among the players as to which one was superior, resulting in a fiery discussion in the forum!
“Fan culture is invading the gaming industry…” Lu Xun couldn’t help commenting.
As he observed the heated discussion about his two identities, Lu Xun felt a strange sensation and was momentarily at a loss for words.
“The price of having 10 Charisma points, sigh!”
At present, Lu Xun was still a fair distance away from Plum City. He temporarily shut the forum, opened his character panel, and used the experience points he earned these past couple of days to level up.
He spent a full 250,000 experience points, and his Character Level rose to 15.
His experience points were depleted again, but this felt much easier than the grueling tasks he had completed earlier.
However, it made sense. Prior to the open beta test, despite having a cheat-like advantage, he primarily made use of player functions.
After the open beta test, his NPC abilities began to shine.
Player and NPC functions can complement each other. At this moment, he was truly making the most out of his golden finger.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t dare to cultivate the Nameless Technique. The Five Elements Cultivation technique consumes a lot of experience. Relying solely on player functions would have fallen short, as he wasn’t sure he could maintain his character level advantage over other players.
“After leveling up to 15, the color of the name for the White Emperor alias is still deep yellow. It seems there’s still a way to go before becoming a Blue Title NPC.” Lu Xun was thinking to himself.
Yellow Title NPCs may seem like bigshots at the beginning of the game, but they’re nothing special in the late game. Blue Title NPCs, however, are a different story.
Luckily, he can “keep up with the times” and not be eliminated.
By the time they’re no longer in awe of Yellow Titles, I’ll be blue!
“This adds a layer of mystery, enabling players to endlessly imagine the White Emperor alias.” Lu Xun chuckled.
Finally, he had arrived at Plum City. Lu Xun concealed himself and the paper crane, looking down. Indeed, more players were scattered outside the city, eagerly waiting for the White Emperor.
Lu Xun knew it was his time to make an entrance.
He didn’t rush down immediately. Instead, he took out the Sword Sheath from his storage ring.
The black string on the Sword Sheath rubbed against Lu Xun’s hand, expressing its dissatisfaction.
Lu Xun used to carry it alongside him all the time, but the Sword Sheath was a symbol of the Purple Palace. So, Lu Xun had to put it in the storage ring.
Now, the biggest symbol for the White Emperor was the Spirit Crow perched on his shoulder, its mouth muzzled by a cloth strap…
“Good one, it won’t stay in the ring for too long.” Lu Xun comforted the Sword Sheath.
Feeling Lu Xun’s hand stroking it, the Sword Sheath gradually calmed down.
Seeing it no longer acting spoiled, Lu Xun chuckled, “Give me the green Pearl, I need it.”
The obedient Sword Sheath’popped’ and a green Pearl, which nearly filled it to the brim, was squeezed out.
Lu Xun held the Pearl in his hand, hiding it in his sleeve, then put the Sword Sheath back into the storage ring.
Then, he made his presence known and boldly appeared before all the players.
He descended from the sky, his black hair blowing in the wind, his face carrying a refined smile, and yet, there was an air of freedom and ease about him.
All the players were with their mouths agape, watching in awe as the White Emperor, like a Sky God descending to earth, landing gently.
Lu Xun activated the green Pearl with great precision, using only a tiny bit of green energy.
The players watched as the White Emperor, dressed entirely in white, landed on the ground, and the surroundings started to change.
The plum blossom next to him…
bloomed!
