Chapter 91: Chapter 91: Second Test Players Have No Advantage? (First Update)
Xu Nian had no information at all about the Blood Demon Sect’s mysterious Sect Leader. Even people in Jianghu seemed to have never truly seen him. However, there was no doubt that the Blood Demon Sect had the backing of people from the Imperial Court; otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to transfer the Brocade Guards away.
The Blood Demoness knew that Xu Nian was planning to make a move on the Nine Dragons Secret Treasure. She was also aware of the special nature of the Nine Dragons Secret Treasure at that time. But apart from inquiring about the Sect Leader of the Blood Demon Sect, Xu Nian was also very concerned about his own affairs.
"I haven’t found out much on my end either," the Blood Demoness said. "The Imperial Palace has done an excellent job of suppressing information about your incident. Even some of the palace maids and eunuchs from that time have been silenced. But your situation seems to be heavily connected to the Ninth Prince. I believe you’re aware of this, especially considering the Ninth Prince was drinking with you right before you and Consort Shen were found in bed together. If you really were framed, it certainly has something to do with this Ninth Prince. As for other matters, I can’t find any leads right now. You’re also aware of the Blood Demon Sect’s situation, which makes it very difficult for me to mobilize anyone anymore. Our Sect Leader... I’m afraid I can’t tell you much, but believe it or not, our Sect Leader is definitely not what you think."
She stopped there. Xu Nian showed no intention of continuing the inquiry. The Blood Demoness was, to put it plainly, suspicious of the Ninth Prince. She was indeed investigating Xu Nian’s affairs, but it seemed she could only scratch the surface. On the other hand, she was completely tight-lipped about the Blood Demon Sect Leader. The debt for raising her was significant, and she genuinely had her own difficulties.
While Xu Nian was making plans, players also began to make their way up the mountain one after another.
The first to arrive were Junlin and his team, bringing with them the newcomers Neighbor Six and Sister Zhou.
Neighbor Six, seeing the Blood Demoness in person for the first time, instantly felt an indescribable restlessness in his heart.
That female NPC really is seduction personified! It isn’t something that can be easily explained in a few words. It seems that every movement of the Blood Demoness is capable of stirring the deepest desires in a man’s heart!
Junlin and his team, however, were used to it, having sneakily watched her on previous occasions.
Sister Zhou also looked at the Blood Demoness with envy, particularly at her ample chest, making her swallow involuntarily.
Luckily, this is all in a game; everything is fake. If it were real, I’d want to rush up and have a feel right now.
Little Boss and the others followed, bringing with them a number of Life Players, and they all gathered around Junlin. The group of newcomers also greeted each other. Since they would be playing together in the future, it was better to get acquainted in advance.
The Blood Demoness noticed the arrival of new disciples and showed a hint of surprise.
When did they arrive? I didn’t even notice. Aren’t the disciples of the Profound Yellow Sect supposed to emerge from Gathering Sun Hall and Yingyang Hall? Why are some coming up from the foot of the mountain this time? Could these disciples be different from the previous ones?
Xu Nian snapped back to reality, walked out of the Great Hall, and nodded at the group of new disciples. "Congratulations, everyone. From now on, you are the new disciples of our Profound Yellow Sect. The Profound Yellow Sect will be your home."
The new players were also captivated by the Blood Demoness. After all, they were used to seeing her in videos and photos, so this was their first time encountering her so closely.
"Holy shit, a living Blood Demoness! She’s really freaking beautiful!"
"She’s absolutely the most enchanting woman I’ve ever seen. I can barely control myself!"
"Dude, don’t court death! The Sect Leader is right there!"
"This game can even give me a physiological reaction! It’s unbelievable. Some of my unspeakable conditions have even been cured in the game?"
"..."
The new players were all in high spirits.
Xu Nian looked up at the sky and sighed. "What about the other newcomers? Haven’t they come up from the foot of the mountain yet?"
He just wanted the players to get to know each other. As the saying goes, "No fight, no acquaintance." When players cause a ruckus together, they become better chives, don’t they? Now that Flourishing Flowers and her group haven’t arrived, could it be that the players were all blocked by them at the foot of the mountain?
"Sect Leader, they should be arriving soon," Junlin smiled. "If there’s nothing else, we’ll head to the Contribution Hall and take a look."
They knew that Xu Nian might be controlled by the Game Designers or be an intelligent AI, so they interacted with him normally. Xu Nian had no idea what the players were thinking and waved his hand dismissively.
After Junlin and his team had left, Little Boss also led the newcomers toward the Back Mountain. Over there was the vegetable garden they had developed, where planting vegetables could also earn them some Contribution Points. New Players had no Contribution Points, and if they died, they wouldn’t even have Reincarnation Points. Second Test Players didn’t even have a safety protection period! Therefore, the most crucial thing now was to help the Second Test Players earn Contribution Points. Planting vegetables was much faster than Planting Herbs, so it was more convenient for Life Players to earn Contribution Points.
"I just got a barrel of new manure yesterday. Judging by its color and texture, it’s definitely top-quality fertilizer! I’ll take you all to fertilize later!" Dung Beetle said, his face beaming with pride.
His words scared many of the New Players into retreating.
This guy is intense. Daring to try stewing dung in the game and even specifically bringing it to the Sect Leader to try. He’s one of the most hardcore among the Life Players.
Not long after Little Boss, Junlin, and his team had left, Flourishing Flowers also returned, with four female players having joined their Cloud Lament. These four were smart; after all, Contribution Points were not easy to earn. Cloud Lament offered them 100 Contribution Points for free, so the four female players weren’t fools and naturally chose their side.
Second Test Players currently had no advantages and could only start by doing Sect Tasks to earn Contribution Points. Otherwise, they wouldn’t even be able to reincarnate after dying. As for the other two hundred or so Second Test Players, they all chose to group up.
Flourishing Flowers and her team didn’t have any extravagant hopes. After all, this was anticipated. The only unexpected thing was that the Second Test’s paying players actually chose to group up, and they even let I, Xuanqing, be their spokesperson. At this stage, their player group had the most members.
Flourishing Flowers ignored I, Xuanqing, and his group, instead leading her own Cloud Lament Hall players to do construction tasks. The remaining Second Test Players gathered together, waiting for Xu Nian’s announcement.
Xu Nian repeated his previous words and then said, "Now that you new disciples have joined the Profound Yellow Sect, you should logically join the other three Halls. However, since there are so many of you, I think it’s better to open up three more Halls."
Hearing that three more player Halls were going to be established, the Second Test Players all breathed a sigh of relief. They were really worried about being forced to join the First Test Players. Seeing the attitude of Flourishing Flowers and her team, it was clear they didn’t want to team up. If that was the case, why should they go looking for trouble?
Three Halls... These players probably couldn’t claim all of them, especially since the Iron-blooded War Hero would definitely want to occupy one. That group is influential; there’s no need to compete with them.
In the square, upon hearing about the new Halls opening, the Three Great Merchants also seized the opportunity.
"Exchanging Contribution Points now, a ratio of one to two hundred!"
"Anyone in need, come on over! We’re well-stocked, plenty for everyone! One hundred Contribution Points are needed to establish a Hall. Contact us if you need it!"
"We also buy Contribution Points! If you want to sell, feel free to come to us. No upper limit!"
"..."
