Chapter 314
Chapter 314
"Ok?"
I was puzzled, but the title was dazzling and looked amazing.
Most importantly, the title features a phoenix!
After a dazzling display of golden light, a magnificent golden ice phoenix circled the title, then burst forth from the frame, its cry echoing across the heavens and earth. Its colossal form obscured half of the entire Chinese martial arts world. Keep in mind, this is the Chinese martial arts world after the infinitely large map update.
"Ouch! Ouch!"
"Ahhh! Me! Me! Me! Me!"
"My mech commander-in-chief, it's Phoenix!"
.......
"Ahhh, what a huge phoenix! Its tail floated over my head, as if soothing my restless soul."
"Don't tell me there's a phoenix in the hidden Easter egg!!!"
"Who opened this place? Come out and say something! Please, please say something!"
"I'll allow you to show off, just tell me how to get it. Please, please, my phoenix."
.......
Many players were so excited to see the long-awaited Phoenix that they were speechless, their screams echoing throughout the entire Chinese online community. After a dozen seconds of screams and shouts, the world chat was flooded with messages asking what was going on.
This phoenix is absolutely stunning, incredibly beautiful. A gorgeous orange-red fire phoenix, shimmering with golden light, its delicate feathers gleaming and dazzlingly bright—the kind of phoenix that could make you a god at first glance.
The dream pet of so many players!
The special effects phoenix floated in the sky for a moment before turning into golden specks and disappearing, like bubbles.
The player with the "Nine Incarnations of Goodness" title snapped out of their daze and quickly displayed their title. That's insane! That's so cool!
A title frame floated above his head, gleaming gold, with a phoenix effect flashing intermittently—super cool. It was like piloting a super-modern flying machine in the real world, a custom-made, gold-painted model for the super-rich, the kind that could make the person inside the holographic capsule appear through walls.
Sure enough, as soon as it appeared, several combat players swarmed around it. They came here using their lightness skills and various tricks to follow the starting point where the phoenix appeared, and then they saw a certain person with a title on his head. The phoenix would circle around him about once a minute to make its presence known.
Their eyes widened in disbelief. Some players, dumbfounded, reached out to touch the phoenix, only to be slapped away by the title owner. "What are you doing! Control yourself!"
One player lamented, "How am I supposed to restrain myself? I've been thinking about this for years, I always felt that Qingfengyi needed an update. Qingfengyi has been updated, but why wasn't I the first one to get it?"
One player pushed the other player aside, stood in front of the title owner, and said, "Tell me how you got it, and I'll give you 10,000 gold ingots right away."
It's not interstellar currency, it's gold ingots!
For her, 10,000 Star Coins were no longer enough to be considered a Phoenix, even though it was just a Phoenix title effect.
The title holder proudly said, "Unfortunately, this title is unique. But I can tell you how I farmed it, why don't you try it? I'll edit a video of the process and post it in the chat channel right away."
He quickly ran away after saying that. A dark mass of players flew in from afar, their imposing presence making him a little scared. Even though white-named players are protected by the official system, so many of them were still intimidating.
The news of the phoenix's appearance was uploaded to the world chat less than a minute ago, and the player count in that area reached its limit. Everyone kept clicking to enter and refreshing, but they couldn't get in. Only a very lucky few managed to squeeze in after one of the players inside accidentally died, was killed, or did something strange to self-destruct. Once inside, they didn't say a word and immediately went to see the phoenix and the luxurious title.
The title owner quickly posted a video and his acquisition process on the world chat. When players saw the note next to the title, they were devastated. It felt like the sadness of about to acquire the most precious thing in one's life, only to find out that there was only one left and someone else had already taken it.
"Waaaaah, why is this title set as unique? Why isn't it my unique title?"
"Waaaaah, cry, cry as hard as you can, this is the regret of my life, waaaaah."
"Family members, putting aside the fact that the title is overpowered, haven't you all noticed that this is a brilliant way to farm resources? We give the 'Red Spider Lily' to the 'Undead Soul,' and then we can ask him for treasures later. Since we can set any price, can't we just ask for whatever we want?"
"Hahaha, yeah. I want the unique title!"
"Does everyone only care about the shiny title and not the annotations that come with it?"
After being reminded, many players noticed the annotations following the titles.
"My mech commander-in-chief, who knows how important it is to raise NPC favorability? It took me four months to max out Huang Daopo's favorability, and even after maxing it out, I was always short 20% of the materials when I asked her to make clothes!"
"My Master Xu's favorability has reached 43%. Every time I ask him to repair my weapon, I can save four pieces of Xuan Iron. Four pieces of Xuan Iron can fill one to three treasure chests. If I don't find three treasure chests, I can spend half an hour playing other content."
"Oh ho ho, Master Xu only saved four pieces of Xuan Iron with a 43% success rate? I got to 88%, and I lost several pieces of Xuan Iron, Fine Copper, Mithril, etc., plus a 50% discount on repair fees. I made a killing."
"Hey, are you sure you want a 50% discount on repairs? My mech marshal, I absolutely have to get this!"
"50% off! Combat gamers' wallets are finally saved!"
Combat players have an absurdly high weapon damage rate, and unfortunately, very few of them know how to repair them. They can only get proper repairs from NPCs. But that's expensive. Take Master Xu, for example; repairing simple daggers or swords costs twenty taels of silver. A combat player might go to him for repairs at least once, and it's not uncommon for them to go hundreds or even a hundred times.
Even the wealthy can't stand this kind of reform, which shows just how appealing a 50% discount really is.
Furthermore, combat players are either searching for treasure chests and collecting materials or on their way to collect them. Once they've finally collected everything, they immediately go to repair their weapons, and once repaired, they immediately find someone to fight...
It's a closed loop, with no way to make money.
what?
Selling materials?
Professional combat players are selling materials!
Are you kidding me? You can't even afford to repair your own weapons, so you have to sell them?
They're already very frugal and thrifty by not buying anything, so why would they want to sell?
Finding treasure chests doesn't take time or effort, right?
In short, combat players don't have money.
That favorability rating is so valuable to players; if they could get it, they'd be set for life!
The player with the title didn't care about any of that; after posting the video, he went out to play.
During the event, how can we stay at home?
Now I can run around everywhere with that dazzling phoenix title, hehe.
Players no longer crowd around to look; instead, they hurry away. They need to race against time to complete the Soul Guidance quest—what if second place also gets a title and special effect?
This gameplay seems incredibly simple: just guide the soul, give it a red spider lily, and then ask that soul for something the next day or in a later life.
Everyone says that it seems that the difficulty of the task lies not in the act of guiding!
Instead, they are searching for the other shore flower and where the soul will be reincarnated in its second life.
