MMB Chapter 328 This spectacle is so grand, even the Jade Emperor would have to offer him a cigarette.
Chapter 328 This spectacle is so grand, even the Jade Emperor would have to offer him a cigarette.
In the city lord's palace.
James Sand stood on the observation deck, looking down at the chaotic city below, his brow furrowed.
"What exactly is going on?" Sander turned to ask the guard beside him.
The guard wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Lord City Lord, it's that adventurer."
"He commissioned the Chamber of Commerce to arrange the highest-level trade procession. Now adventurers throughout the city, no, the whole world, are going crazy."
"Top-tier? King-class?" Sander's eyes widened.
"No, Steward Sanshui said that the lord thought the King-level was too shabby, so he paid extra to have a 'Myth-level' custom-made." The guard swallowed hard.
Sander fell silent.
She began to wonder if she hadn't asked for enough money before.
"Strengthen the city's defenses. Don't let these lunatics tear my city down," Sander ordered.
Time passed by, second by second.
The number of players in Hidden Star City has exceeded 300,000 and is still increasing.
The city’s infrastructure is on the verge of collapse.
"I can't take it anymore! I'm stuck in a crack in the wall! Someone, please help me!"
"Stop yelling! I'm at the very bottom, and I'm already losing blood!"
White lights occasionally flashed in the crowd; these were players who had been crushed or trampled to death respawning at the respawn point.
Even so, no one was willing to leave.
Inside the training room, Chen You saw that the time was almost up and finally stopped grinding monsters.
"It's about time for them to make their appearance."
He left the training room and pushed open the door to the Supreme Building.
Outside the door, noise instantly filled my ears.
The streets of Cangxing City are so dark that the ground is no longer visible.
People were pressed against people, armor collided with armor, and robes were wrapped around robes.
Chen You stood on the steps, looking at the hellish scene before him, his eyes twitching.
Isn't this... a bit too exaggerated?
Is it really worth it for a little experience?
His current health is locked at 1 point due to his equipment.
How am I supposed to get through this crowded place?
"Everyone," Chen You cleared his throat.
The previously boisterous crowd fell into a moment of deathly silence.
Countless eyes were fixed on the steps of the Supreme Tower.
"It's a wandering deity!"
"Holy crap! A living, breathing ghost!"
"Look...his health bar!"
A sharp-eyed thief player gasped, his voice trembling.
"Only 1 point...only 1 point of health!"
"He did this to bestow upon us a rain of spiritual experience... a wandering spirit, a noble act!"
Someone in the crowd shouted something, and immediately, a tragic mood spread like a plague.
Chen You didn't explain, but said calmly, "Excuse me, could you please move aside?"
"The messenger has spoken! Get out of the way!"
The players closest to the steps started frantically backing away.
"Stop pushing! The roaming god needs to get through!" a heavily armored knight roared, activating the 'Resilient Fortress' skill and forcefully pushing half a meter of space through the crowd with his shield.
"You stepped on my face!" a muffled groan came from below.
"So what if I step on your face! You're getting in the way of the gods, I'll kill you every time I see you!" the knight cursed, stomping his foot twice more.
The crowd began to move in a strange, creeping motion.
The players on the outside had no idea what was happening inside and were still desperately trying to squeeze in, while the players in the inner circle were pushing outwards at all costs to make way for Chen You.
The sounds of bones breaking, armor scraping, and cursing mingled together.
With sheer force, a passage about two meters wide was squeezed out by the players using their flesh and blood.
The human walls on both sides of the passageway are in an extremely distorted posture.
Some people's faces were pressed against each other's backs, some people's bodies were shaped like double S shapes, and a helmet belonging to someone else fell into the middle of the passage with a clanging sound.
Chen You took a deep breath, maintained his expressionless face, and walked along the passage toward the west gate.
The players on both sides held their breath, their eyes burning with fervor.
"See that? That's the aura of a big shot."
"That outfit...it looks like new equipment, it's definitely something special!"
"Nonsense, a man capable of creating an experience-generating rain wouldn't be dressed in ordinary clothes, would he?"
Chen You walked halfway before suddenly stopping.
He turned his head to look to his right.
There was a female player there, whose breastplate was torn in half from being squeezed so badly, and she was looking at him with an extremely complicated expression.
Chen You expressionlessly reached out, took out 10 gold coins, and threw them over.
"Change to a better one, don't forget anything, or it won't pass the review." Chen You said calmly.
The female player frantically caught the gold coins, trembling with excitement.
"Thank you, God of War! Thank you, God of War!"
The surrounding players' eyes turned red.
Holy crap! 10 gold coins just like that!
"God! I don't have any clothes to wear either! My pants have been squeezed down!" A berserker with a full beard tore his battle skirt to shreds on the spot, revealing his hairy thighs.
"Get out of my way! Look at me, God of War! I can't even afford cat food anymore!" A burly man wearing cheap cat ear headbands screamed in alarm.
Chen You's eyelids twitched violently.
He quickened his pace.
This place is unbearable; if I stay any longer, these people will start performing a striptease for me right here and now.
West Gate Square.
This is the most spacious area of Hidden Star City, and it's also packed with people right now.
The guild leaders of the three major guilds, Saros, Ouro, and Moon Arrow, occupied the high ground with the best view.
Instead of joining the crowd at the bottom, they quietly watched Chen You's arrival, accompanied by their core elites.
"He's here," Moon Arrow said in a low voice, his gaze fixed on Chen You.
"Such pomp and circumstance, such demeanor, no wonder he's like this." Salos stroked the stubble on his chin, his eyes filled with apprehension.
Oro fiddled with the tortoise shell in his hand, his brow furrowed. "I did a divination. It's a very bad omen."
"Something big is about to happen in Hidden Star City today."
Chen You finally reached the west gate.
The moment he stood still, the system's cold notification sound resounded throughout the entire server.
[World Announcement: Hidden Star City Trade Route Reopens! The Mythical Touring Caravan "God of Wealth Arrives" Has Arrived!]
boom!
The sky, which was originally covered by dark clouds, was suddenly torn apart by a blinding golden light.
Thick clouds rolled to both sides, revealing a void passage thousands of meters wide.
Immediately afterwards, a stirring, tragic, and soul-shattering epic symphony poured down from the sky.
This wasn't background noise from the system; it was a real physical sound wave that caused cracks to appear in the glass of all the buildings in Hidden Star City at the same time.
"hold head high--"
A deafening dragon roar resounded.
Nine abyssal bone dragons, their bodies engulfed in ghostly flames, emerged from the void passage with their massive heads.
They dragged a floating pyramid, resembling a mountain, as it slowly descended.
This is not over yet.
On either side of the pyramid, the void ripples like water.
Ten thousand heavily armored golems, each ten meters tall, stepped out of the sky in perfect unison.
Intricate golden runes were engraved on their bodies, and with each step they took, the protective array of Hidden Star City would flash violently once.
Above the ten thousand golems, eight hundred thunder griffins with wingspans exceeding thirty meters circled and roared.
Blinding golden lightning crackled between their wings, illuminating half the sky as bright as day.
The grand display of 100,000 gold coins was on full display at this moment.
All the players in the city were overwhelmed by this earth-shattering spectacle.
But the next second, all the repression turned into utter madness.
Because among the flock of griffins, the phantom images of two thousand mysterious dancers, draped in thin veils and with graceful figures, appeared.
They danced amidst thunder and storms, and with each wave of their flowing sleeves, countless petals mixed with golden light rained down.
