Chapter 193 The big shot has arrived, and there's hope for clearing the game!
At the street corner, Chen You rode his chubby giant rabbit mount, turned a corner, and headed towards the square.
While maneuvering his mount, he skillfully pulled out barrel-shaped fireworks from his backpack and casually tossed them into the air.
[System notification: You have used the "Celebration Salute Cannon". Congratulations, you have received 188 Copper Coins.]
[System notification: You have used the "Celebration Salute Cannon". Congratulations, you have obtained 1 "Inferior Qi Cultivation Pill".]
[System notification: You have used the "Celebration Salute Cannon". Congratulations, you have received 88 Copper Coins.]
……
Chen You's lips twitched slightly as he looked at the series of almost worthless system notifications.
"A gift pack worth ninety-nine gold coins, and all you get is this worthless junk?"
He was internally ranting and raving.
Since I've already bought it, I might as well use it.
Adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, he left the Supreme Building and continued to put things down as he went.
We've fired sixty or seventy shots already, and the best reward we can get is just a regular Qi-Nourishing Pill.
It's not that it's completely useless, but its cost-effectiveness is outrageously low.
It's purely for the sake of making a sound.
However, when he saw the scene in the square, he was slightly taken aback.
Thousands of adventurers, regardless of race or profession, all looked up, gazing intently at the night sky illuminated by fireworks.
On those faces, there was no dejection or irritability from failed land reclamation; instead, there was an almost pious tranquility.
The entire square was filled with a strange atmosphere that mixed sadness, tenderness, and hope.
Ok?
Chen You blinked, a little confused.
I was just clearing out some inventory, what's with all those soul-purifying expressions on your faces?
Just then, as another firework shot into the sky, its dazzling light finally illuminated Chen You's figure at the street corner.
And his iconic, ridiculously large rabbit mount.
Finally, someone in the crowd snapped out of their daze at the dazzling light and shadow.
"Look! It's going that way!"
"It's him! That giant rabbit mount... he's a pioneer of the Immortal Path!"
"Holy crap! So all those fireworks were set off by him alone?"
"Nonsense! Who else but him could spend that much money?"
"Only he could be so reckless; he must have something wrong with his head... But I like him!"
After a brief moment of deathly silence, the entire square erupted in chaos!
All eyes, like searchlights, were focused on Chen You.
Shock, bewilderment, fervor, worship...
A complex mix of emotions intertwined, forming a powerful aura that rushed towards Chen You.
A berserker stared blankly at Chen You, then looked up at the last firework in the sky that was about to disappear, and muttered to himself.
"We're being tortured to the point of death here, while they...they're celebrating with fireworks?"
"Celebrate my ass!" A nearby elven archer rolled his eyes.
"Didn't you notice? After he appeared, everyone's anger disappeared."
"This might be some kind of...some kind of ritual that we cannot understand!"
"ceremony?"
"Yes! I felt a mysterious power, a power that could soothe the soul!"
Upon hearing this, many people around him showed expressions of sudden realization.
Yes!
This big shot's behavior can never be judged by common sense!
He may have been spending money for fun, but in reality, he single-handedly soothed the collective negative emotions of thousands of top players in Thousand Light City who had failed in their initial exploration!
What terrifying mental power this is!
Immediately, all sorts of imaginative interpretations came flooding in.
"Is this the power of money that a tycoon possesses? The ability to appease all beings silently?"
"I understand! He wasn't setting off fireworks; he was purifying the 'demons' in our hearts! The resentment we feel because of failure is the demon in our hearts!"
"Terrifying! The pioneers of the immortal path are terrifying indeed!"
As Chen You listened to the increasingly outrageous discussions, his expression stiffened.
No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense.
I just wanted to see if I could get an SSR.
He was too lazy to explain, nor did he need to.
Looking at the remaining fireworks, he decided to save them for now.
Who knows, it might come in handy later.
As Chen You arrived, the adventurers on the outskirts instinctively made way for him.
However, more adventurers had already realized the crux of the problem and surrounded Chen You.
The big shot has appeared!
The man who single-handedly activated the dungeon destruction mode has arrived!
The super-rich guy who uses bounties like a megaphone is here!
What does this mean?
This means that the hope of clearing the [Road to the King] has arrived!
"Boss!"
I don't know who shouted it first.
The next second, the entire square erupted in cheers!
"Hey pro! Please help me out!"
"Wow! I have 3,000 defense and 80,000 HP. I can tank and deal damage, and I can even shout '666'!"
"My lord! Look at me! I am the rare profession 'Bard,' and I can compose a poem for you, a 'Ode to Fireworks'! To celebrate your greatness!"
"Get lost! Sycophant! Boss, I may not know anything, but I can warm your bed!" A glamorous female player winked.
In an instant, the entire square transformed into a large-scale job fair.
No, it's even crazier than that.
This is practically a frenzy of competition for "job qualifications"!
To attract Chen You's attention, the players went to great lengths.
A centaur warrior, standing two and a half meters tall, charged straight to the front and planted his totem pole in the ground with a loud "bang."
Then he started frantically pounding his chest, making muffled "bang bang bang" sounds, and shouted with spittle flying, "Boss! Pick me! I'm your wall!"
A voluptuous witch leaped onto the warrior's totem pole and began to show off her dance moves, her robes billowing, eliciting howls from the surrounding wolves.
Even more outrageous, a dwarf thief attempted to swallow a sword, but his technique was so poor that he choked on the hilt and his eyes rolled back in his head.
The scene was chaotic at one point.
Chen You looked at the bizarre scene before him, feeling both amused and exasperated.
He finally understood.
These people will shamelessly try to get someone to take them along!
Chen You didn't speak, but simply glanced around, trying to figure out how to get through.
His silence, however, was seen by others as the restraint and selection of a master.
"The big boss is watching us!"
"Show us your true abilities! This might be our only chance!"
As a result, the "talent show" in the square became even more energetic.
In the eyes of these adventurers, it was, after all, a 25-player raid instance.
Even someone as powerful as Chen You would probably need to form a team.
In particular, those adventurers of level 20 or so, who were similar to Chen You in level, squeezed in front of him with a mixture of restraint and exuberance.
"Wow, I'm a 36D! Look at me!"
"You dare to come here with a 36D? Look at me, I have an F!"
"Don't believe her, boss! She's a predator who takes advantage of her superiors!"
Several alluring figures had already started a head-to-head match, which drew scorn from many adventurers.
"Shameless! This isn't a beauty pageant, are you all crazy?!" A mage who had just finished performing a fireball swallowing act couldn't help but curse.
"What do you know? Beneath that flamboyant exterior, I see hard work and sweat," a kobold retorted.
"..."
Chen You felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the figure before him, who was practically a human tank.
He finally couldn't help but cough lightly.
The entire room fell silent instantly.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chen You spoke softly.
"Excuse me, there's already a group here."
