Chapter 386 We're rich, our perspective broadens
Lin Miao stood still, head slightly lowered, carefully observing her surroundings.
When she faced the alien players alone before, she stood up straight and looked calm.
Now that Chen You was standing in front of her, bearing that dazzling string of titles, her tense shoulders unconsciously slumped a little.
With something to rely on, the forced composure dissipated, replaced by a hint of awkwardness typical of newcomers.
"Captain Chen, how exactly do we get first place in this draft?" Lin Miao asked in a low voice.
The Source Realm system does indeed possess extremely strong learning capabilities.
Chen You originally only planned to hold a small event in Cangxing City to boost prosperity, but later postponed it for the guild boss.
The system has now upgraded it to a server-wide event.
The preliminary rounds will be held simultaneously in all major cities, and a server-wide live stream will follow.
The scale has increased, but the underlying logic remains unchanged.
Looking at Lin Miao's serious face, Chen You suddenly felt like teasing her.
"How's your dancing?" Chen You asked.
Lin Miao was stunned.
She looked down at her legs and tried to recall.
"I attended dance classes when I was a child and learned some folk dance."
"But it's been a long time since I've done it, so if I have to do it, I might need to prepare."
"Give me a piece." Chen You crossed his arms.
"Huh?" Lin Miao's eyes widened.
She looked at her rough cloth clothes and then at the growing number of alien players gathered around her.
She gritted her teeth, stuffed the notebook into her backpack, took a half step back, raised her hands, and was really ready to strike a starting pose.
"Stop, stop, stop." Chen You quickly reached out and pressed down on her arm.
He was both amused and exasperated.
"Just kidding, you actually jumped?"
"Don't be so nervous. Director Li and the others aren't here, so just relax."
"We're rich, your talent doesn't matter."
Lin Miao breathed a sigh of relief, a blush rising to her cheeks.
"I thought this was a mandatory requirement of the task."
Chen You did not respond.
He opened the system interface, found Lin Miao's name, and quickly entered the amount of the reward.
Ten thousand Starlight Tickets.
confirm.
The crystal card in Lin Miao's hand suddenly burst out with a dazzling red light.
Immediately afterwards, a deafening system notification rang out over the central square of Chuxin City, even drowning out the surrounding noise.
[Regional Announcement: Player "Chen You" has gifted 10000 Star Tickets to player "Lin Miao" in Chu Xin City! The starlight shines brightly, illuminating the Origin Realm!]
[Regional Announcement: Contestant "Lin Miao" has surpassed 10 million points in popularity rating! She has topped the preliminary round leaderboard in Chuxincheng!]
A huge golden banner was unfurled in mid-air above the square, Lin Miao's name gleaming with a glittering gold light that was almost blinding.
The entire Chuxin City fell into a deathly silence.
The fox-eared NPC's professional smile froze on his face, his eyes widened, and his mouth was agape enough to fit a fist.
The player who had just mocked Lin Miao for being thin looked at the long string of zeros in mid-air and thought he was dreaming, so he slapped himself twice.
Lin Miao looked down at the crystal plaque in her hand.
【Star Source Voice · Chuxincheng Audition Area】
First place: Lin Miao. Firepower: 10,000,000.
Second place: Carl. Firepower: 150.
Lin Miao swallowed hard.
She looked up at Chen You, "Captain Chen, isn't this a bit too much?"
She knew the country had allocated a huge sum of 500 billion yuan, but this extravagant spending still seriously challenged her preconceived notions.
"Is that an exaggeration? I haven't even used my full strength yet." Chen You closed the interface, his tone indifferent.
However, he did not expect the Starlight Ticket ratio to be so high. He originally thought it would only be equivalent to 10000 firepower points.
That's the power of capital.
Chen You looked Lin Miao up and down.
This design can only be described as shabby.
"You need to get some better clothes." He stroked his chin. "This outfit is too tacky and doesn't suit your current status."
Lin Miao felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze.
Suddenly, memories flashed through her mind of some fantasy online games she had watched her classmates play back in school.
The female characters' equipment was made of very little fabric, and it would shake violently when they walked.
Her cheeks flushed instantly.
"Captain Chen, I..." Lin Miao crossed her arms over her chest, her tone resolute, "I will absolutely not wear armor that only covers the vital parts."
Chen You was speechless.
"What are you thinking?" Chen You asked speechlessly. "The Origin Realm is a legitimate game."
Even if you want to wear it, you might not be able to buy it.
Lin Miao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She glanced at the alien player next to her who was still in a daze, and recalled the communication barrier from earlier.
"Captain Chen, should I do a side quest first?"
Lin Miao took out her notebook. "I can't even understand what the other players are saying."
The lack of automatic translation functionality could potentially lead to unexpected conflicts.
"To do a mission?" Chen You smiled.
He looked at this academically gifted new student.
"Comrade Lin Miao, you must remember your current identity."
"You're a pay-to-win player. If a problem can be solved with money, you won't grind for it."
"How do I unlock the translation function?"
"I'll get a membership." Chen You turned and walked out of the plaza. "A VIP member of the Origin Realm, who comes with fluency in all the languages of the universe."
"Let's go to the Supreme Pavilion."
Lin Miao quickly put away her notebook and followed.
Chuxincheng is not small; there is a considerable distance between the central square and the Supreme Building.
Chen You found walking too slow, so he directly opened the mount panel.
He originally wanted to summon the Nine Nether Devouring Kun, but considering that the thing would be too conspicuous in the city and could easily cause traffic jams and panic throughout the city, he chose a more low-key option.
A flash of white light.
A giant rabbit with snow-white fur, bright red eyes, and a bell around its neck appeared before the two.
The white rabbit lay on the ground, its three-lobed mouth moving slightly.
The surrounding players got excited again.
"The legendary mount, it's this!"
"They're back, they're all back. The rumors were true."
"He's so handsome, oh my god."
"Get on." Chen You flipped himself onto the rabbit's back and patted the spacious seat behind him.
Lin Miao looked at the enormous rabbit, then at Chen You's stylish Ink Abyss Star River Robe.
A sense of anticipation unconsciously rose in my heart.
She jumped onto the rabbit's back and sat behind Chen You.
"Hold on tight, auto-pathfinding activated." Chen You patted the rabbit's neck.
The white rabbit kicked off with its hind legs.
A strong wind was blowing in my face.
The rabbit raced down the street at a speed that defied all biological norms.
Each leap covered half a street, like a white lightning bolt.
Along the way, passing players turned their heads in surprise, exclamations rising and falling.
"Holy crap! What kind of mount is that?"
"Don't even think about it, that's a deity on a procession! I'd think even a dog he was riding was a mythical beast!"
"Who's that woman behind us? Lin Miao, who was number one on the list just now?"
"It's confirmed! It's definitely an inside job! Protest! There's something fishy going on!"
Less than a minute later, the White Rabbit braked sharply and stopped in front of a magnificent golden building.
At the top of the building are three large characters: Supreme Building.
Chen You jumped off the rabbit and casually put his mount back into his spatial storage.
Lin Miao took two steps to the side, leaned against the stone pillar at the entrance of the Supreme Building, and took several deep breaths to forcefully suppress the churning in her stomach.
