Chapter 378 Things don't seem to be going quite right.
"Actually, it's not completely unplayable."
Chen You added slowly, "Although you can't spend real money, it doesn't mean you don't have gold coins."
The moment those words were spoken, the stagnant air in the hall instantly came alive.
Li Guoan's eyes lit up. "You mean...?"
"Yes," Chen You nodded, "I can give him gold coins."
In the Origin Realm, gold coins can be traded directly!
Sun Feng suddenly sat up straight, his glasses reflecting the light: "So, as long as this 'sub-account' survives and reunites with you, you can directly transfer money to him?"
"That's how it is in theory." Chen You put away his smile. "But the premise is that he has to rely on his own abilities, without spending a penny, to clear the starting village and reach the main city where I can meet him."
Zhang Yunhai slammed his hand on the table excitedly, "What's so difficult about this! Just because ordinary people can't do it doesn't mean our soldiers, who have undergone extreme training, can't!"
"As long as we survive the initial phase, the special forces' tactical skills combined with your resources will definitely produce a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts!"
Li Guoan raised his hand to stop the crowd.
"There's only one spot available." Li Guoan's gaze swept over the crowd.
"Not only must they be good at fighting, but they must also be absolutely loyal and quick-witted. The Origin Realm is now a battlefield of civilization. Those who go in must cooperate with Chen You and may even have to make sacrifices at crucial moments."
He didn't say it explicitly, but everyone knew the answer.
The most suitable personnel must be selected from among the best.
Li Guoan turned to Chen You: "Has that pretty girl stopped replying to your messages?"
Chen You paused for a moment, then shook his head.
"no."
Chen You took out the glass plate. "I just sent two more question marks, but they disappeared without a trace."
"She should have completely severed the connection."
"Let's leave her alone for now," Li Guoan decided decisively. "We can't fathom the thoughts of such a high-dimensional intelligence."
"Xiao Chen, just continue playing the game. Once the clone's duration ends, immediately log out and bring the bracelet back to reality."
"Understood." Chen You stood up. "Then I'll head out first. There's a big problem waiting for me to deal with in Cangxing City."
……
Chen You's clone refocused its gaze on the central square of Cangxing City.
The night breeze blows, and the neon signs flicker.
The streets were crowded with players and NPCs of all races.
They held up glow sticks and shouted various cheering slogans that were difficult to understand.
Chen You rubbed his temples.
What terrible things have I done?
He turned and headed towards the city lord's mansion.
The task of acting as the city lord has been completed, and I have also received the mythical building blueprint [Star Origin Grand Theater] as a reward.
However, the materials required for this building seem to be a bit special, and they are not available in the guild shop or auction house.
Chen You guessed that it might be obtained through later tasks.
He now needs to find James Sand to continue the mission and see if he can squeeze out any other hidden rewards.
The gates of the city lord's mansion were wide open.
A deafening bass beat emanated from within.
Chen You walked inside, and the scene before him made him pause.
Inside the spacious city lord's hall, there were no guards or government officials.
Two meters tall and muscular, Sander wore an extremely mismatched pair of overalls.
She was facing a huge floor-to-ceiling mirror in the center of the hall, wildly twisting her body.
"One, two, three, four! Lift your buttocks, pull in your stomach, and give me an aggressive look!"
Sander muttered to himself.
Chen You stood at the door, his lips twitching.
"Lord City Lord."
Sander abruptly stopped and turned around.
The moment she saw Chen You, an extremely fervent light erupted from her wild face.
"tutor!"
Sander strode over, crossed his arms in front of him, and bowed deeply.
"You've finally arrived! I was still a little hesitant about the movement for the fourth eight-count."
"Do you think this wave is smooth enough?"
Chen You took a half step back, avoiding the strong smell of sweat emanating from Sander.
"Lord, hold on." Chen You raised his hand. "I'm here to hand over my mission. I've finished my duties as acting city lord, and I've returned the Star Core Seal to you."
"What procedures are needed next?"
Sander was completely absorbed in his own world and couldn't hear a word Chen You said.
"Mentor, the process doesn't matter! Tomorrow night is the first stage!" Sander grabbed Chen You's arm.
"I am the city lord of Hidden Star City, I must debut in the center position!"
Chen You tried to pull his arm out, but couldn't.
This NPC has been completely fooled.
"You are a city lord." Chen You stared into Sander's eyes, his tone serious. "Your ancestors are watching you from heaven."
"My ancestors didn't understand art!" Sander waved his hand, his expression impassioned. "My ancestors only taught me how to kill; it was you, my mentor, who taught me what stage presence is!"
"Hidden Star City can't just be about fighting and killing; we must conquer the Origin Realm with love and peace! Fan economy is the primary driving force—that's what you taught me!"
Chen You was speechless.
No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense.
He initially just made up some fandom theory to avoid the timing of the guild boss battle, but who knew that this big NPC not only absorbed it all but also applied it to other situations.
"Okay, you're debuting, you have to be in the center position." Chen You continued, following his lead.
The moment the words "You must be in the center" were uttered, Sander's expression suddenly fell.
She raised her thick arm and slashed it sharply in mid-air.
A holographic light screen popped up in the center of the hall, its deep blue light illuminating Sander's wild face.
"Mentor, determination alone is not enough." Sander pointed to the screen, his voice heavy with sorrow. "The market of capital is too cruel."
On the screen is the real-time firepower ranking of the "Star Source Voice" talent show in Cangxing City.
Chen You stared intently, his gaze landing on the top spot on the list, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
【TOP 1: Moon Arrow (Lunar Goddess's Radiance) - Firepower: 99,854,200】
[TOP 2: James Sand (Individual Trainee) - Power Rating: 10,204,500]
Chen You rubbed his eyes and leaned closer to the light screen.
You read that right.
It was indeed the supreme leader of the elven race, the Arrow of the Moon.
The number of votes was more than nine times that of Sander, who came in second.
"What's going on here?" Chen You pointed at the list and turned to look at Sander.
Sander gritted his teeth, his two-meter-tall body trembling slightly.
"Vote rigging! It's definitely vote rigging!" Sander punched a nearby stone pillar, sending stone chips flying.
"That pretentious, pointy-eared girl must have gotten the whole clan to vote for her!"
Chen You gasped.
He underestimated the madness of the Source Realm players and overestimated the integrity of these top-tier players.
This isn't a talent show, it's practically being eaten raw.
Taking advantage of their superior numbers!
"Mentor," Sander suddenly knelt on one knee, "I can't lose to her!"
"The dignity of Hidden Star City must not be trampled underfoot by an elf who can't even cast a wave!"
