CHAPTER 261: CHAPTER 242: PURCHASING BAI ZE?

"Still streaming?"

"When have I ever gone back on my drunken words? Stream on!"

...

In the Glory of the Gods game forum, the Shengshi Dynasty guild section suddenly flooded with hundreds of thousands of players.

These players weren’t here to cause trouble but came to watch the spectacle after hearing the news.

A unique live stream was underway in the pinned post of the Shengshi Dynasty forum section.

The live feed showed a uniquely styled Ice and Snow Palace standing proudly amidst the snowstorm, looking magnificent.

Below the live stream, the comment box was filled to the brim with bullet comments flooding the screen.

Some people were remarking on the actions of the Shengshi Drunkard:

"Wow, the president of Shengshi really is streaming? I thought it was a joke at first." Likes: 999+

"Regardless, just for keeping his word, we have to give the Drunkard President a big thumbs up!" Likes: 999+

"How many people are as curious as me about what the final reward is?" Likes: 999+

Some couldn’t help but marvel at the spectacular Ice and Snow Palace and the beautiful snowy scenery in the stream:

"This palace is just too magnificent, it feels like it was carved from a single block of ice." Likes: 999+

"Anyone want to team up to check it out? Sign up now!" Likes: 999+

"This game’s scenery is just insanely amazing, says a person from the south." Likes: 999+

"I really want to play in the snow, any girls want to go together?" Likes: 999+

...

When the figure in a white robe appeared on the screen, the tone of the bullet comments suddenly changed:

"Feng Hua master, I see Feng Hua master! Ahhh!" Likes: 999+

"So handsome, worthy of being my idol, hahaha." Likes: 999+

"I liked every comment praising Feng Hua master, even if my hands are tired, I’ll use my feet." Likes: 999+

"The Qilin pet beside Feng Hua is so cute!" Likes: 999+

"A bunch of hypocrites, this guy isn’t half as handsome as me." Likes: 999+

"Hey you, who said Feng Hua isn’t handsome, stay there if you dare, let’s fight!" Likes: 999+

"Who dares say my idol isn’t handsome, we’ll find his info!" Likes: 999+

...

Inside the game’s Ice and Snow Palace, Shengshi Drunkard teased Lin Yi beside him:

"In my live stream, it’s all your fans, what do you say about that!"

Luoshen Liunian laughed and said:

"We’ve been playing this game for years, and no one has ever had such popularity like you, got any tips to share?"

At this moment, Lord Proud Gaze chuckled at them:

"If any of you can beat him, I guarantee you’ll be even more popular than he is."

He glanced at Lin Yi and asked:

"Don’t you agree?"

Listening to their banter, Lin Yi could only respond helplessly:

"It’s just that everyone is being generous with their praise, it’s not worth mentioning."

The popularity Lin Yi now had in the game was beyond his expectations.

If he had a choice, Lin Yi would prefer to just be an ordinary player, enjoying the game and gossip with the vast community.

Instead of being the center of gossip, judged by everyone.

Suddenly, Luoshen Liunian said:

"If you’re not worth mentioning, then aren’t we even less than passersby?"

Everyone burst into laughter.

What Lin Yi said was taken lightly, nobody took it seriously.

Whether Lin Yi was being genuine or not, it wasn’t important.

Because some things were beyond Lin Yi’s control.

Playing a game isn’t like real life.

In real life, you can easily be a low-key billionaire, just wear some cheap clothes and your identity is concealed, without constant scrutiny from others.

But in games, when you’re powerful enough, staying low-key is impossible.

Just like Feng Hua now.

Even though Lin Yi initially intended to stay low-key, his series of actions made it hard for him to go unnoticed.

It’s like those "**" symbols on the top leaderboards, which have almost become Feng Hua’s exclusive symbols now.

Because in the leaderboard list, Feng Hua was the only one who chose to hide his name.

This made it especially prominent in a sea of names, like a crane among chickens.

Low-key? Impossible.

Unless someone knocks Feng Hua off the pedestal, or if Feng Hua gives up out of frustration.

Otherwise, the title of "Number One Player" assures that Feng Hua’s gaming journey won’t be ordinary.

As Lin Yi laughed and chatted with Shengshi Drunkard and the others...

The leader of Ice and Snow Illusion City, Mu Lingxue, was holding Zhang Xinying’s arm, saying meaningfully:

"With him being so in-demand now, aren’t you afraid someone might steal him away one day?"

As she spoke, she glanced meaningfully at the calm face of Dongfang Jing.

Zhang Xinying rolled her eyes and retorted:

"If he really wants to leave with someone else, could I even keep him?"

Hearing that, Mu Lingxue put on a stern look:

"If he dares to be unfaithful again, just watch how I’ll deal with him!"

Zhang Xinying couldn’t help but cover her mouth, laughing softly:

"Can you even beat him? Speaking so decisively."

"Uh~"

Mu Lingxue’s face flushed red:

"I can’t beat him, but even if it costs me my life, I won’t let him off easily for bullying my sisters repetitively."

Seeing Mu Lingxue like this, Zhang Xinying was both touched and amused:

"Alright, alright, calm down!"

Then Zhang Xinying’s gaze turned, watching Lin Yi’s back, she smiled happily:

"I trust that he won’t."

The Werewolf Prophet, seeing Zhang Xinying’s expression, couldn’t help but chuckle, stroking his beard:

"I also believe your benefactor won’t betray your devotion, Miss Ying’Er."

Hearing Yidra’s words, Zhang Xinying’s face reddened slightly.

Mu Lingxue looked at Zhang Xinying with suspicion:

"Why are you blushing all of a sudden?"

"Ah! It’s nothing~"

Zhang Xinying suddenly thought of something:

"Weren’t you saying you wanted a Bai Ze mount too?"

At this, Mu Lingxue’s eyes sparkled:

"So, does he have more?"

Suddenly Mu Lingxue’s breath quickened slightly:

"How much? I’ll buy it!"

Zhang Xinying giggled:

"I asked him, he said the friendship price is 300,000 gold coins each, only gold coins."

"300,000 gold coins!"

Mu Lingxue’s eyes widened:

"Can’t it be in reality coins?"

With the current exchange rate, 300,000 gold coins is comparable to 1.5 million reality coins.

A flying mount like Bai Ze, even at a price of 5 million reality coins, is still a bargain.

Lin Yi’s price of 300,000 gold coins is almost a steal.

But the key issue now is, Mu Lingxue doesn’t have 300,000 gold coins readily available!

All major guilds are currently in a full development phase, needing massive amounts of gold coins to purchase equipment, crafting materials, and materials for upgrading guild territories.

Unless you’re buying at a price above market rates, gold coins are in short supply in the game.

Sometimes, even listing items on the auction house for a day doesn’t guarantee you’ll earn 10,000 gold coins.

Currently, the guild’s funds can’t be touched.

Mu Lingxue herself could only come up with around 100,000 gold coins, still short by about 100,000 to 200,000. Mu Lingxue pondered:

"I’ll think of a way."

Zhang Xinying could only offer sympathy, as Lin Yi himself said, it’s not reality coins he lacks, but gold coins.

Building the Cyclops Race infrastructure will be a money sink!

Lin Yi is just planning ahead now.
