Chapter 231 The Grief of the Undead
After shopping for a morning and buying many clothes, Li Xiang used to not even glance at big brand stores, not because he disdained them, but because he couldn't afford them.
Now, Li Xiang didn't even look at the prices; buying out the entire store wouldn't be an issue.
Facing the dazzling array of brand-name clothing, Li Xiang simply couldn't pick well, which highlighted Wang Zhiyan's importance.
In one morning, he spent hundreds of thousands, and Li Xiang didn't even blink.
Now, for him, money was just a number.
The attractive saleswoman's seductive eyes were constantly fixed on Li Xiang, almost sticking to him directly.
Li Xiang glanced at her, then withdrew his gaze, just letting Wang Zhiyan pick clothes for him and measure them on him with a faint smile.
After returning home, Wang Zhiyan made a meal. After eating, Li Xiang sent her away.
"You should rest well for these three days and get your brother's situation sorted out. After that, I won't give you any more holidays."
After Wang Zhiyan left.
The large house became quiet.
Li Xiang wasn't idle either. He took out paper and pen, writing and drawing, taking stock of his recent gains and future development.
"Currently, the Guild's development is the most important."
"Personal development is blessed by artifacts, and the level has always been ahead, with no issues at all."
"Regarding the Guild... currently, the main Guild has 1272 people, and the four branch Guilds below each have one hundred people.
That adds up to over sixteen hundred members."
"Compared to the number of other Guilds, this is already very large."
"The first branch Guild's defense against the Monster tide increased the cap by 50, combined with all member vacancies."
"There are still over a thousand member vacancies, and new members can be recruited gradually."
"Currently, Elite players' levels are all at 46 or 47, and top players' levels are at 48. After the update is completed, within a week at most, a large number of players will enter the City."
"Currently, all the main resources in the City have been secured, and the future development trend will only get better and better."
"Currently, the main Guild is a Level 1 Town-level Guild, and it can still be upgraded."
"Previously, by helping the first branch Guild defend against the Monster tide, I also obtained a Town-level Guild upgrade token, which can be used to continue increasing the main Guild's level."
"Everything is developing in a good direction..."
However...
Li Xiang's pen drew a circle around 'The Grief of the Undead' on the paper.
"This new expansion pack will definitely bring something different. We need to seize the initiative."
"..."
Putting down the pen, Li Xiang rubbed the corners of his eyes. "Three days time. Today is the first day, I'll rest well and sleep."
He returned to his room and immediately fell asleep.
...
Three days passed in a flash.
At six o'clock in the evening, Wang Zhiyan came home and made dinner for Li Xiang.
Looking at her busy figure in the kitchen, which gave off the feeling of a virtuous wife and loving mother, Li Xiang smiled and took out his phone to look at the news.
The server opening time was eight o'clock tonight, two hours away.
Opening the WeChat group, several Gods Guild executives had also established a group chat in reality under Li Xiang's influence.
The name was also the Gods Decision Circle.
"Excited, I'm already wearing my helmet and waiting."
"No need to be so anxious, there are still two hours."
"New expansion pack, new opportunities! Our Gods Guild will definitely continue to expand its grand plan and territory!"
"This is inevitable!"
"..."
Seeing that everyone was very enthusiastic, Li Xiang also entered the group chat with a smile and started discussing.
More than half an hour later, Wang Zhiyan made a sumptuous dinner. Li Xiang took a picture and posted it in the group.
A few seconds later, Liu Yunfeng posted a picture of an empty instant noodle container.
"Envious of the Guild Leader's dinner, I only have instant noodles for company..."
"President, did you make this yourself?"
"Are you looking down on the President? Can the President make such a colorful, fragrant, and delicious meal?!"
Li Xiang saw Leng Bing's sarcasm and typed with a smile, "Leng Bing, you fellow... there's still a Level 55 Diamond Dagger in my backpack. Looks like I'll have to choose someone else to give it to."
Merciless Ice saw Li Xiang's message, his eyes lit up, and he quickly typed, "That was my dog typing just now. I've already taught him a lesson. President, I've reserved this dagger, okay? I'll come find you when I get online."
"Tch!"
"..."
The group chat was peaceful. Li Xiang turned off his phone, washed his hands, and ate.
Eating the meals Wang Zhiyan made always gave Li Xiang a warm feeling, which was also why Li Xiang repeatedly increased her salary.
This kind of feeling couldn't be found when eating out.
"You're only eating this much, you're skin and bones. Eat more."
Hearing Li Xiang's words, Wang Zhiyan looked at Li Xiang and asked softly, "Li Xiang... You don't like people who are too thin?"
Too thin?
Li Xiang shook his head, "Bony, don't like it, don't like it."
After speaking, Li Xiang put down his chopsticks. "I'm full, I'll leave the cleaning to you."
"Mhm~"
Li Xiang glanced at the time. There were only a few minutes left until eight o'clock, so he directly got into the game pod.
Wang Zhiyan looked at the game pod placed in the living room, then looked at the rice in her bowl. After hesitating for a moment, she, who was already full, took a few more bites.
...
Eight o'clock arrived.
Li Xiang immediately chose to log in.
Instantly, Li Xiang appeared in the game.
Compared to when he logged off, there weren't any significant changes.
However, upon closer inspection, he noticed that the Guards in the City had significantly increased, and they all seemed to be facing a formidable enemy.
Words like 'Undead' and 'Skeleton' could also be heard from passing NPCs.
【World Broadcast: The Undead Race, one of the four major races of the World in ancient times, disappeared from this World due to unknown reasons. There was once a prophecy that the reappearance of the Undead Race would bring the depletion of the World. Now, the Undead Race has appeared again, and the World will once again fall into catastrophe. Brave adventurers, your appearance may be able to turn the tide.】
The World Broadcast continuously scrolled back and forth across the World.
The entire broadcast lasted for five minutes.
After that, the Wu Shuang City broadcast appeared.
【Wu Shuang City Broadcast: Brave adventurers, a large number of Undead creatures have appeared outside the City. To protect the safety of the City, you need to leave the City as soon as possible to meet the Undead Monsters!】
With the appearance of this broadcast, a large number of players in the City all headed outside the City.
Li Xiang went against the flow of people and headed towards the City Lord's Mansion.
There were many people with the same idea as him, but the City Lord's Mansion wasn't a place anyone could enter just because they wanted to; they were all denied entry.
Li Xiang entered smoothly and went directly to find the City Lord.
At this moment, City Lord He Denlong was full of worry, and beside him was Deputy City Lord Wang Tianba.
Seeing Li Xiang, they all cast their gazes towards him.
"Imperial Guard brother (sir), you've arrived."
The two addressed Li Xiang completely differently. Wang Tianba's address carried a bit of respect, but He Denlong didn't notice.
"City Lord, what can I do?"
