MM Racing Chapter 342 Stop talking, let's get awkward.
Chapter 342 Stop talking, let's get awkward.
Chen You picked up the plastic megaphone and examined it.
[The Roarer of the Underworld]
[Type: Special Mission Item]
[Effect: Enables a server-wide voice broadcast that ignores all blocking and forced pop-ups, and includes surround sound effects.]
[Note: The sound is quite loud, please bear with it.]
Chen You raised an eyebrow.
This piece of junk is actually a super loudspeaker for a world channel.
It's just a disposable item; once it's used up, it's gone.
"Alright, I'll handle the rest myself. Let's call it a day." Chen You stuffed the megaphone into his backpack and turned to look at his two temporary teammates.
The old Dragon King Ao Guang was shivering, wrapped in a tattered towel, and the goji berry water in his thermos was almost gone.
"Young man, the dampness in this underworld is too much; my gout has flared up. Next time there's work in the water like this, remember to add extra money."
After saying that, Ao Guang transformed into a golden light and disappeared.
Zhang Shun, however, was still not satisfied and struck a bodybuilding pose by the pool, shirtless.
"Brother, I've really made a name for myself as the 'White Streak in the Waves'! From now on, I'll give you a 20% discount on every race!"
Chen You waved his hand.
"Quack." The giant rubber duck shook off the water droplets on its body, walked with its toes pointing outwards to Chen You's feet, and pecked at his trouser leg with its flat beak.
"Let's go back and get more people." Chen You scooped up the giant rubber duck.
Aguda knelt on the ground, his face beaming with smiles: "My lord, please take care! I wish you a speedy gathering of the Yellow Spring Origin and a successful Foundation Establishment!"
……
The man and the duck once again passed through the Yellow Springs vortex and returned to the bottom of the dried-up moat outside the west gate of Cangxing City.
Chen You leaped directly out of the riverbed. A cold wind blew by, and all around was quiet.
The array is activated, and 0/50000 appears in the upper right corner.
It requires 50,000 living people who are willing to release their breath.
If you directly call someone to bleed them or extract their yang energy, those players will definitely object; they might even think they've encountered some kind of evil sacrifice.
We need to find a reasonable excuse.
Chen You looked around and his gaze fell on a pile of huge stones that had collapsed from the city wall.
He walked over, picked up several stone slabs weighing several hundred kilograms, and piled them up into a semi-enclosed stone mound on the side of the moat.
Then he sat down, leaning the last stone slab against his body, leaving only his upper body and one arm exposed.
Then, he grabbed a handful of mud mixed with snow water and smeared it on his clothes and face to create the effect of horrific battle damage.
"Others cultivate immortality and overcome tribulations by enduring heavenly lightning, but I have to build a Five Finger Mountain for myself to be a scapegoat," Chen You couldn't help but complain in his heart.
He took a deep breath, raised the large plastic horn, and pressed the switch.
"Cough, hey, hey."
The ear-piercing sound of electricity instantly rang in the ears of every player in "Source Realm". Whether they were running a dungeon, doing a quest, or setting up a stall in the main city, everyone's actions stopped at this moment.
Immediately afterwards, Chen You's deep, calm voice, yet imbued with an unfathomable meaning, resounded throughout the entire server.
"Outside the west gate of Cangxing City, by the moat. Limited to 50,000, first come, first served."
There was no background, no task description, not even a single superfluous word.
The entire server was silent for a full three seconds.
The next second, the world chat channel exploded.
"Holy crap! It's Yushin's voice!"
"The game master broadcasted a message to the entire server? Did this trigger some kind of epic world quest?"
"Outside the west gate of Cangxing City! Limited to 50,000! Brothers, charge!"
"First come, first served! There's definitely some amazing gear or hidden rewards!"
The entire player base of "Source Realm" went completely crazy.
The teleportation array in Hidden Star City was instantly overloaded, flashing white light repeatedly. Countless players with bloodshot eyes rushed out of the teleportation array and pounced on the west gate like zombies unleashed.
Leading the charge was a berserker over two meters tall, with the ID "Supa Meng" above his head.
He was initially full of excitement, brandishing his double axes in preparation for an epic quest.
But when he saw the scene along the moat, he froze on the spot.
Amidst the pile of rubble, the legendary man of the entire server—the Wandering God—was half-buried in the ruins.
He was covered in mud and dressed in rags, and his Jade Emperor Sword, which usually cleaved mountains and rivers, lay dull and lifeless beside him.
In the wind and snow, Chen You closed his eyes, his brows furrowed, as if he were enduring some unspeakable, terrifying backlash.
"Wandering God..." Supa's axe clattered to the ground.
The players who arrived later also stopped in their tracks, and the once noisy riverbed instantly became deathly silent.
Tens of thousands of eyes were fixed on that pitiful figure, and their minds automatically pieced together a tragic epic of a million words:
To protect Cangxing City, Youshen fought a bloody battle alone against an unspeakable ancient evil god, ultimately sacrificing his last breath to preserve the peace of all players on the server!
"Waaah..." Someone in the crowd sniffed first.
Supa's eyes instantly reddened. The two-meter-tall man wiped away his tears, strode to the pile of rubble, and knelt down on one knee with a thud.
"You Shen! You've suffered!" Supa's voice choked with sobs.
"I knew it! There's no such thing as a peaceful life in this game; you're the one bearing the burden for us!"
"Speak! What do you need us to do? Who do you want us to fight? I'm risking my life today!"
Chen You slightly opened his eyes, looked at the orc in front of him crying like a two-hundred-pound child, and his lips twitched.
He only wanted to fake battle damage, but weren't these people's reactions a bit too strong?
"Cough..." Chen You coughed weakly, exhaling a breath of white air. "I don't need to fight, I just need to borrow something from you."
"Borrow what? Just say the word!" Supa pounded his chest loudly.
"I need some... yang energy," Chen You said in a deep voice.
The air suddenly went silent for a second.
Supa was stunned, a struggle flashing across his rugged face.
Then he gritted his teeth and grabbed his animal skin trousers belt with both hands.
"Yang energy, right? Don't worry, Wanderer, I'm full of fire! Do I need to take my pants off? I'll do it now..."
"Stop!" Chen You was startled. His previously weak eyes instantly became incredibly sharp, and he almost jumped out of the pile of stones.
"No need to take off your pants!" Chen You took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the urge to draw his sword and kill someone. "Just stand still."
The surrounding players breathed a sigh of relief, and several female players silently lowered their fingers from their eyes, a barely perceptible hint of regret flashing in their eyes.
At this moment, the counter in the upper right corner of Chen You's vision finally jumped to "50000/50000".
[Ding! The Yellow Springs Gathering Yin Array has been activated.]
[50,000 living beings were detected within the array's range; the Yang energy threshold has been met.]
[Please guide the beings within the array's core to release their yang energy in order to draw upon the essence of the Yellow Springs.]
Chen You was overjoyed; he could finally begin the Foundation Establishment process.
He calmly brought up the array operation interface, preparing to "draw with one click".
However, the next system notification made his vision go black.
[Methods for extracting Yang energy: sound wave resonance and emotional ignition.]
[Currently selected song: "Heroes' Song"]
[Requirement: Guide 50,000 people to sing the entire song together, with an emotional match of 100%.]
Chen You was stunned.
"The Ballad of Heroes"?
You've created a fantasy MMORPG with high magic and martial arts, and the way you extract the essence is by having 50,000 players sing "Heroes' Song" together?!
Is this reasonable? !
"You Shen?" Supa noticed Chen You's face turning pale and then red, and asked with concern, "Is the curse acting up again? Should I take my pants off...?"
"Shut up," Chen You interrupted him coldly.
He took a deep breath, knowing he had no way out.
We must lay the foundation!
Isn't it just social death?
As long as I'm not embarrassed, the 50,000 players are the ones who will feel awkward.
