Chapter 230: Update
Players all over the World were stunned when they saw this World broadcast.
“FUCK!!! What did Qu Ming do now?! He actually brought out the new expansion pack!!!”
“Damn China people!!! It's him again!!!”
“Where are the powerhouses from our country?! Why isn't there anyone who triggered a World broadcast?! What a bunch of trash!”
“It's China again!!!”
“...”
After the China players saw the World broadcast, the channels in major cities all boiled over.
“Qu Ming is awesome!!!”
“He even brought out a new expansion pack!!! 66666666!!!!”
“As expected of Qu Ming!!!”
“A player actually forcefully pushed the development of the game World's plot!!!”
“Awesome! Awesome!!! Qu Ming is awesome!!!”
“...”
Apart from the China players, all the players from other countries went offline, cursing and complaining.
Since the new expansion pack was triggered by a China player, the biggest benefits would definitely land on the China Server!!!
This was also the reason why players from other countries were so upset!!!
China players were different.
Since the new expansion pack was triggered by a player from their own country, there would definitely be a wave of benefits!!!!
After going offline, there were still widespread discussions on major game forums.
Li Xiang also went offline.
He opened his eyes and was still in the game pod.
But Li Xiang wasn't in a hurry to get out. Instead, he opened the game forum.
This was one of the additional effects of the game pod; you could connect directly to the forum via brainwaves while offline.
The forum of Wu Shuang City was extremely lively with discussions right now. A large number of players had nothing to do after going offline and were all chatting on the forum.
And the biggest topic of discussion was naturally Li Xiang, who had just triggered the new expansion pack.
Secondly, there were speculations about the new expansion pack.
“The expansion pack is called The Grief of the Undead, it must be related to Undead. I wonder if the skeleton Monsters I fought before count as Undead.”
“Probably not, otherwise the new expansion pack would have been triggered by you.”
“I really don't know how Qu Ming encountered so many opportunities!!!”
“I really envy the players of Gods Guild, they must have gotten the first-hand information now!”
“...”
The players of Gods Guild fell silent after seeing the players' discussions.
Although they were in the same Guild as the Guild Leader, they truly felt like they were people from two different Worlds than the Guild Leader.
Normally... they couldn't see the Guild Leader at all.
Just like ordinary players, they could only learn about the Guild Leader's recent situation through various broadcasts...
Thinking this way.
The ordinary players of Gods Guild fell into melancholy.
In the eyes of players outside, they were mingling closely with super top-tier players like Qu Ming every day, having a close relationship.
But only they themselves knew that they couldn't see him, they simply couldn't see him.
Some players who joined later hadn't even seen Li Xiang's true face to this day...
This... who could they complain to?
The forum also had a friend chat function.
Seeing that Li Xiang was online, all of Li Xiang's friends sent messages of greeting.
Li Xiang casually replied to the greetings from some celebrity players, focusing on replying to Guild members, specifically chatting in the 'Gods Decision Circle'.
Merciless Ice: “Qu Ming, what is the new expansion pack about? What does it have? Will there be any new gameplay? And anything else...”
Merciless Ice started with a string of questions.
In this small group, Merciless Ice directly called Li Xiang by his game ID, but addressed him respectfully as President in front of outsiders and Guild members.
Yun Feng: “Yeah, Guild Leader, is there any information I should pay attention to? I can prepare in advance.”
Qingshui: “Seconded!”
Futu: “President, I also want to know.”
“...”
Facing this barrage of questions, Li Xiang fell silent.
Qu Ge Mingzi Hao Nan: “I don't know either.
...
Can I say that I just handed in a quest item, and then this thing was triggered?”
Saying this, Li Xiang sent the item description of the Undead Dust to the group.
The few Guild executives fell silent.
You couldn't tell anything just from this one item.
Then, Li Xiang sent the information about the Undead that Chen Sisi had mentioned to the group.
“That's all I know. Let's see when we go online. Rest well for these three days. I won't talk to you anymore, I'm going offline.”
After speaking, Li Xiang directly exited the game pod.
...
Because he went offline early, the current real-world time was only five o'clock in the morning, three or four hours earlier than usual.
It was summer now.
Although it was only five in the morning, the sky had already slightly lightened, and there was a bit of light in the living room.
Li Xiang sat on the sofa, leaning back and yawning.
“Sleep, sleep...”
...
In a daze, Li Xiang felt a small hand touching his face, which tickled a bit. Li Xiang immediately opened his eyes.
What came into view was Wang Zhiyan's face.
One of her hands was currently resting on Li Xiang's face.
Seeing Li Xiang wake up, she quickly apologized, “Ah... you're awake... There was a mosquito just now, I was...”
“It's okay, I've slept well.”
Li Xiang lowered his head and saw the blanket covering him.
“Thank you.”
Wang Zhiyan shook her head, “Today... why did you go offline so early?”
Having been here for a long time, Wang Zhiyan also knew that Li Xiang's current job was playing games.
The popularity of myth had spawned a large number of professional players. Many rich people and companies even borrowed heavily to enter the game, which further increased the game's value.
“The game expansion pack is updating, didn't you know?”
Li Xiang remembered Wang Zhiyan had said before that she also played this game.
Wang Zhiyan let out a soft 'ah', then said dejectedly, “These past two days, whenever I had time, I helped my brother tidy up his room and buy daily necessities. I was too tired at night, so I didn't play the game.”
“I see. The game is updating for three days. I'll be fine by myself these three days. I'll give you three days off, you can rest well.”
Hearing that Li Xiang was giving her a holiday, Wang Zhiyan thought for a moment, then shook her head, “Li Xiang... you... pay me so much, and I'm still taking a holiday, I feel like I...”
Li Xiang directly interrupted, “Alright, if you don't want a holiday, I won't give you one. It just so happens that I'm free today, let's go shopping together. Summer is here, let's buy some short-sleeved shirts to wear.”
“Ah... Mm-hmm! Okay!”
...
After a quick wash, Li Xiang and Wang Zhiyan went out together.
The two walking on the street attracted a lot of attention.
It was because Li Xiang was very handsome in appearance, and now that he was rich, the confidence from within made him appear exceptionally charismatic.
Wang Zhiyan stood beside Li Xiang, with a proud figure, sweet appearance, and a demure, bird-like posture.
Anyone who saw them would praise them as a perfect match!!!
Feeling the gazes of passersby, Li Xiang didn't feel anything, but Wang Zhiyan's pretty face was slightly red, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Li Xiang saw her reaction, smiled and bent his arm, signaling her to link hers with his.
Wang Zhiyan was startled, then timidly reached out and linked her arm with Li Xiang's.
“Head up, chest out, stick out...”
Li Xiang didn't say the last two words, but Wang Zhiyan understood, chuckled, and the burden in her heart was lifted.
