"Ding!"
"Level increased by 1. Congratulations on reaching Level 10."
Lin Yi looked at the time in a swamp. He had finally reached Level 10 before he was forced to go offline.
Just as he was about to return to the beginner village and teleport to the main city, he suddenly blacked out.
He woke up in bed with a confused look, and a helpless smile flashed across his face. He was forced to go offline twice in just two days. There was no one else.
Just as the system kicked him out of the game, the previously silent world channel was suddenly flooded with red notifications again.
"World event: Congratulations to player Fenghua for being the first player to level up to Level 10! Reward: 20 Honor Points. Reward: One random Epic equipment + 2000 experience points."
"World event: Congratulations, player Fenghua for triggering the main city system! Reward: 10 Honor Points. Opening up the four main cities of the China region: Azure Dragon City, White Tiger City, Vermillion Bird City, and Black Tortoise City. After Level 10, players can head to one of the main cities for class advancement."
All the players in the China region were shocked by these two system notifications once again. The game was in an uproar, and many thought they must've heard wrong.
When everyone was still at Level 4 or 5, someone had actually reached Level 10.
The in-game forum was once again in an uproar.
Everyone was spamming in a frenzied fever.
"This b*stard is cheating, right? So fast? How did he level up?"
"It's this 'Fenghua' again. Does anyone know who this person is? Why haven't I heard of him?"
"F*ck! Our guild leader has an eight-man party to help him grind. He's only at Level 7. Is the gap that big?"
"This guy defies heaven!"
"I wonder which guild he's from. Is he that ferocious?"
"I really want to know how he leveled up. I'm only Level 4 now. Sob, sob."
"I'm only Level 3. Should I be proud?"
"Pfft! Go kill some deer. Don't embarrass yourself here."
At this time, a large number of players who had logged off due to game time flooded into the forum and started a heated discussion about Fenghua's shocking move.
Some questioned, some who were shocked, and some who sighed.
And just when they thought it was over, the top post in the forum that was synchronized with the world channel once again flooded with bright red headlines...
"World Event: Congratulations, player Fenghua for triggering the dungeon system! Reward: 10 Honor Points. Opening of individual beginner dungeon trial land. Level limit: 10. Unlocking of the first team dungeon, Secret Jungle Land. Level limit: 10"
"World Event: Congratulations, player Fenghua for completing the world achievement, 'The Fastest In The World!' Reward: 50 Honor Points. Reward Title: The Fastest In The World"
"World Event: Congratulations to player Fenghua for triggering the China Region Level Ranking Board. Please click on the ranking board to view"
"Level Ranking Board:
Player Level Ranking
No.1: Fenghua"
I Don't Cry rubbed his chin as he looked at the system notifications in shock.
"Doesn't it smell good to be a human? Why must one become a God?"
I Don't Cry looked at the bright red words with a serious expression.
"It's so high profile...
"I'm jealous...
"This should indeed be the normal operation of a God."
While crowds were going crazy over the name Fenghua, many were attracted by the information revealed in the system announcements.
Information about the four main cities was immediately posted on the forums, causing another wave of heated discussions.
At the same time, information about the two new dungeons also surfaced.
Some people were shocked, some questioned, and even more were excited about exploring the unknown.
No matter what kind of mentality these people had, they were unable to stop Fenghua from once again shocking the entire Internet.
"I hope this Fenghua can see that I'm the leader of the Defiant Templar guild. I truly admire your ability, and I hope I have the good fortune to strive for glory with you in this game. Let's talk about the treatment in detail."
"Bullsh*t, I'm from the Luoshen guild. Fenghua, as long as you're willing to join my guild, you'll receive an annual salary of one million and ten types of benefits!"
"Come to my Heavenly Dao Union and you'll be directly granted the position of Vice Leader. I look forward to your reply."
.....
Soon, a recruitment craze spread across the forums.
Whether it was those who could be called by name or those unknown guilds, they practically threw out an olive branch to this Fenghua the very moment they had their chance.
Looking at the official forum that had tens of millions of people online, many sighed in their hearts.
How many years had it been since such a game had appeared that could cause a heated discussion?
Glory Of The Gods seemed to have done it.
As the initiator of all of this, Lin Yi checked his body in a daze and was surprised to find that he could really synchronize the game's attributes.
At Level 10, Lin Yi had mastered all the skills of a beginner-level mage, and so did the Lin Yi in real life.
If he wasn't in his rented house, he really wanted to see what it would be like to cast exploding flames in real life.
"She should be here by now," he muttered to himself as he looked at the time on the e-clock.
He even took a shower and changed into clean clothes when he thought of that.
After everything was done, Lin Yi took the only valuable game helmet in the room and stood at the door, looking at the dark house that he had lived in for almost ten years.
After a long while, the door was slowly closed, and he turned around and disappeared into the corridor.
.....
"Guo, why don't you think about it?"
Lingxue looked at the hologram in front of her helplessly.
She hung up the call dejectedly after seeing Lin Yi reject her again.
"You still don't agree?"
Chen Wei looked at the beautiful woman in front of her with a pained expression. Only exhaustion and helplessness were plastered on her face.
"Although everyone is optimistic about the future of this game, they are not when it comes to the future of our guild. Hehe."
Mu Lingxue laughed bitterly and sat weakly on the bed as she looked at Chen Wei.
"Weiwei, is there something you need from me?"
Under normal circumstances, Chen Wei would not appear in her own room. According to how Mu Lingxue's understood her best friend, Chen Wei had most likely come here for some reason.
Chen Wei nodded.
"Someone wants to rent a room downstairs. Do you want to take a look?"
Mu Lingxue was stunned.
"So soon?"
It was only less than two hours ago that she decided to lease out those two rooms less!
Chen Wei smiled mysteriously.
"Let's go take a look. There will be a surprise."
"What do you mean?" Mu Lingxue asked.
.....
Mu Lingxue came to the first floor with a question in her mind.
When she saw the tall figure standing in the middle of the living room, she felt a sense of déjà vu. However, she could not remember who the owner of this figure was.
However, an exquisite little face came into her sight when the person turned around. Mu Lingxue's little mouth could not help but open wide. Then, she stammered out a name that she had never thought of before.
"Xiao Ying!"
Mu Lingxue ran down the stairs happily and hugged the woman warmly.
"When did you come back? Why didn't you tell me so I could pick you up!"
Looking at the person in front of her, Zhang Xinying could not help but reveal a touching smile on her face:
"I came to see you, didn't I?"
With the woman's appearance in front of her, the unhappiness she had previously encountered disappeared in an instant. Mu Lingxue said happily,
"Did you have a good time on your trip this time?"
"It was alright."
"What do you mean it was alright?!"
Mu Lingxue looked seriously at her best friend in front of her and couldn't help but feel sorry.
"I've lost weight, but I'm also much more energetic."
Then, she asked,
"You won't be leaving this time, right?"
Zhang Xinying blinked her eyes playfully.
"If you don't have a place to stay, you might leave tonight."
Mu Lingxue immediately understood,
"Since our supreme beauty Zhang has spoken, how ould I let you sleep on the streets?"
Mu Lingxue then pointed at the two empty rooms on the first floor and said,
"Pick whichever room you want to stay in."
"Stay as long as you want."
Zhang Xinying giggled.
"You're still the best to me!"
"Hehe! Otherwise, why would I be a close friend who grew up wearing the same dress?"
Mu Lingxue was a little too pleased with herself.
"I'm not like that stink-bomb..."
But halfway through her sentence, Mu Lingxue quickly shut her mouth and carefully looked at Zhang Xinying.
"Ah-ha! You just have to remember that everything I have is yours. You don't have to be polite with me."
Seeing Mu Lingxue's worried look, Zhang Xinying comforted her instead.
"Don't worry about me. I've already thought it through."
"Since he has chosen this outcome, I respect his choice. As long as he's living well, it's fine."
At this moment, Mu Lingxue couldn't smile anymore.
"It's best if you think it through. There's no shortage of men in this world."
"Even without him, you'll still meet someone who suits you better, right?"
"It's just a pity that I don't know who it is. Otherwise, I would've definitely taught him a lesson. You're no different, keeping it a secret from me."
Zhang Xinying smiled, as if she didn't want to continue this topic. Instead, she brought up another matter.
"Oh right, are you playing Glory Of The Gods?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Lingxue immediately perked up.
"Of course, I'm going to play it. How would such a century-defining game do without me?"
"Really? That's great. In the future, we can play together."
"Could it be..."
"Yeah, I was bored and played for a while. I thought it was quite fun. Actually, I came here for this as well."
"Haha! I told you to play it with me earlier, but you didn't do it. Now, we sisters can finally do it together in the game!"
At that time, Chen Wei walked over.
"Okay, okay. Ying-er just got off the plane. Let Ying-er sleep for a bit."
Seeing Chen Wei coming over, Zhang Xinying called out,
"Sister Weiwei."
Because she was a few years older than the two of them, Chen Wei was usually treated like an older sister.
In fact, Chen Wei took care of the two as if they were her own sisters from the bottom of her heart. It seemed that her best friends were also like sisters.
Mu Lingxue suddenly came to a realization.
"Right! Then go take a shower and catch up on your sleep. When you wake up, we'll go have a midnight snack to celebrate!"
Zhang Xinying was indeed a little tired.
"I'm going, then?"
"Hurry up and go."
Zhang Xinying responded and returned to her room.
Mu Lingxue looked at Chen Wei.
"When did you find out about this? How dare you keep it from me?"
Chen Wei rolled her eyes.
"I just found out about it too."
Then, Chen Wei's phone suddenly rang.
"Hello, who is this?
"Eh? I'm sorry, I...
"Okay, wait for me, then. I'll come out right away."
"What's wrong?" Mu Lingxue asked.
"The investors have delivered themselves to our door," Chen Wei looked at Mu Lingxue and teased.
