Chapter 607 - 469: Today, 3 new characters were introduced, everyone go give your hearts. (5K)
"It’s finally started. I’m curious to see what this so-called entertainment event is all about!"
Li Zheng walked out of his home with two sidekicks and happened to see Yuanfei Yuluo packing up her capsule. He couldn’t help but ask, "Have you joined the corps too?"
"Ah!"
Seemingly not expecting Li Zheng to talk to her, Yuanfei Yuluo let out a small gasp before turning around to bow to Li Zheng and answering, "Yes, I just joined a small corps yesterday."
Li Zheng glanced at the information given by Lao Pu. It didn’t show any corps affiliation, likely because Lao Pu deemed such information unimportant.
"Are you participating in the fishing competition as well?"
A small corps participating in such a basically nationwide event is probably because they can’t stand the loneliness.
After all, the game has been running for so many days and with various difficulty adjustments. Currently, except for some casualties in instances, the players’ nerves are always tense.
Who knows when an accident might happen and take their little lives?
Thus, this event, which claimed to be risk-free, became an opportunity for most players to really relax their nerves.
Some people even pooled resources to buy materials and assemble a Power Core to establish a corps just to take part.
They didn’t expect to get any great ranking; they just wanted to experience it. They might even disband this temporarily established small corps after the event.
Li Zheng guessed that Yuanfei Yuluo had probably joined such a corps, with no particular attention necessary.
"The Terminal said there’s no danger, so I thought I’d join to relax a bit."
Yuanfei Yuluo’s answer matched Li Zheng’s guess.
"Hmm, then have fun. It’s quite a rare opportunity," Li Zheng said, noncommittally nodding.
"Hi there!"
Yuanfei Yuluo seemed unusually nervous. Ever since that day when she delivered goods directly and failed to win Li Zheng’s favor, she would always remember that scene whenever she saw Li Zheng, which brought about an endless embarrassment, not knowing where to put herself.
Truly clumsy and awkward!
"Well... um... the leader is urging me, so I’ll head over first."
"Hmm, go ahead."
Li Zheng slightly nodded, watching Yuanfei Yuluo disappear from sight before opening the Starting Point Legion’s exclusive channel.
The members were all very excited, with chat messages rapidly flashing by, making one’s head spin, much like the scale of the regional channel on the day the game first launched.
After so many days of effort, the Starting Point Legion successfully upgraded, and the reserve members of channel 879 managed to join just before the fishing competition.
Besides this, a large group of newbie players joined, along with Swordsmanship Apprentices from Zhan Zhouzhou’s live stream.
The extra slots after the corps upgrade were filled that very day, and there was even a small group of reserve players ’homeless’, waiting eagerly.
Notably, thanks to Xiao Siyuan catching a late wave during the military merit BUG day, he managed to earn some military merits, which allowed the corps to upgrade to level two so quickly.
Otherwise, today the Starting Point Legion would be participating with only 500 members, competing against those corps with thousands of people.
Fortunately, a full-level two corps upgrading to level three would only require a collective effort of three days.
Unfortunately, the Starting Point Legion just happened to upgrade to level two right before the fishing competition started, meaning everyone had to strive to explore and use up two days’ worth of attempts tomorrow.
This might be quite a pressure on those newbie players.
But even more fortunately, after the event, all the Starting Point Legion members would "move" together.
According to Liu Qi’s intention, the new players in the Starting Point Legion could gather to explore together or even rely on Kunlun members for short-term protection.
This way, unless something unexpected happens, the remaining members should be able to join the Starting Point Legion smoothly two days later.
"Haha! We can enjoy the entire day carefreely today, it’s just great!"
"Exactly, exactly! I can’t wait any longer!"
"By the way, can we finally see the leader in person today?"
"Huh? Haven’t you seen him? Last time... oh, you’re part of the second batch of players, right? Let me tell you, the leader looks absolutely stunning!"
"Really? Based on his avatar, he just looks kind of good-looking, not that exaggerated, right?"
"Oh, what do you know? Clothes make the man, and a saddle makes the horse! The avatar you see is only what the leader looked like before entering the Matrix, of course it looks ordinary."
"Exactly, exactly! Until I saw the leader myself a couple of nights ago, I didn’t think he was anything special. It wasn’t until then that I realized, there’s actually someone who can pull off that hairstyle! You can tell he’s undeniably a powerhouse!"
"Powerhouse’s hairstyle?"
"Powerhouse’s hairstyle!"
"You’re not talking about...?"
"That’s right! Exactly what you’re thinking!"
Whoa!
Just as Li Zheng was about to ask everyone if they were ready in the corps, he saw that someone was discussing his hairstyle, and his mood almost collapsed on the spot.
Damn, do you think I want to keep this style?
Talking about it brings tears!
That’s actually a side effect of developing my Genetic Ability!
Do you know how much trouble this hairstyle has caused?
Just saying...
If my life were a novel, my appearance would affect the readers’ immersion, wouldn’t it?!!
