Chapter 2, Military Parade
In an instant, the cries of three top-tier sacred beasts filled the square, and under the enhancement of the divine artifact, the snow cloud displayed the majesty of the king of birds. The crystal dragon entered a battle state, becoming incredibly fierce and invincible. The dark magic wolf king, engulfed in black flames and doubled in size, looked down upon all living beings with the unique pride of the dark magic wolf clan
As soon as I went online, Xiao Mao's message came crashing in; without even looking, I knew it was urging me to hurry over. When I found him, he was like a fat ant on a hot pan, scurrying back and forth.
Brothers who have not experienced it will not understand the feelings involved. I have no complaints about losing to Soul Devourer. Moreover, this is her own choice. I hope she can be happy; it's just that I can't adjust to it right away. Please excuse my awkwardness
Hehe, where, where, serving the people, serving the people indeed
Indeed, due to level restrictions, international communication is very inconvenient. I have heard that the developers are also considering this issue and will provide a result soon. Aisin Gioro has provided us with some useful information
Thank you all for your support. I apologize for the delay due to some matters and hope for your understanding
The majesty of the dragon, the grandeur of the phoenix, and the nobility of the dark royal family have provided all the spectators with a visual feast
Certainly, while new forces are continuously rising, the old forces are also making significant progress by leveraging their existing advantages. Fortunately, there are so many players in China that there won't be major conflicts regarding membership. However, the open and covert competition for commercial resources has already begun, so the Magic Palace must also take some action.
Little Witch Xiaoxue, dressed in the most fashionable green leaf archer attire, possesses a beautiful face and a lively, adorable personality. Her unique beauty draws considerable attention, as beauty varies with age. Even now, she exhibits an astonishing charm, and as she matures, this will only enhance. Among the beautiful women present, she is the youngest, naturally possessing the greatest potential for development, and even those enchanted by her must envy her youth
Xiao Mao, how is the preparation going? How are the guests arriving? As the leader of the Magic Palace, one must make some gestures; otherwise, I will be accused of being unprofessional and only knowing how to chase after women
The enchanting beauties who have consistently held their positions on the list gathered for the first time, many of whom were only known by name and had never met; this occasion can be considered a first introduction.
Many well-known and powerful figures from various regions have arrived, while another notable group consists of individual big merchants. They focus entirely on economic development and do not participate in the game themselves. Generally older in age, they frequently move between different factions, seeking partners with whom they can collaborate
It's not just me boasting; even a slightly smaller guild could be easily swept away by the Demon Knights!
Unfortunately, the battle continues without end; even if we meet, what difference does it make? Meeting is just like not meeting, only adding to the troubles. Matters of the heart are the most difficult to articulate, and there is no reasoning to be found in them.
The other two are beautiful combinations: one group is the Four Fairies, and the other is the Five Sisters of the Heart Family. They are equally eye-catching, especially since, apart from their moods, the others are all unattached beauties, making them the targets of everyone's pursuit. Although the allure is also present, they are acutely aware of the immense "pressure" involved. Such women make the best lovers—passionate yet without the burden of responsibility. Their innate pride ensures they do not become entangled. However, they are not suitable as wives. Therefore, men should first choose a target from the Four Fairies or the Heart Family Sisters. Once successful, it is a win-win situation, symbolizing both wealth and status, especially for those aspiring to break the current mold. Yet, their sensitivity makes them aware of the significant "pressure" involved. Such women make the best lovers—passionate yet without the burden of responsibility. Their innate pride ensures they do not become entangled. However, they are not suitable as wives. Therefore, men should first choose a target from the Four Fairies or the Heart Family Sisters. Once successful, it is a win-win situation, symbolizing both wealth and status, especially for those aspiring to break the current mold, and they wish to use this to prove themselves.
In fact, it is not that no one has advised Xiao Mao to establish his own venture; with his influence, he could certainly achieve great success. Why should he remain subordinate to others? To outsiders, especially business leaders, I am at most just a well-known figure; all operations and activities are manipulated by Xiao Mao.
A true dragon aura, overlooking the world, soared into the sky. The eight-clawed golden dragon, unbound by any constraints, stretched its body freely. In an instant, the entire venue was filled with dazzling golden light. After circling for a while, it finally emitted a genuine dragon roar from its mouth, causing even the three sacred beasts to obediently descend. This is the true aura of a king. Under the stimulation of the divine artifact "True Dragon," the king's set also resonated, scattering golden light, and astonishingly began to absorb the dragon aura and evolve. A fierce eight-clawed golden dragon gradually emerged on my king's armor.
The arrangement of seats is also quite meticulous, essentially divided according to influence, with beautiful women given priority. Naturally, no one competes with them, so they sit at the head of the table, making it convenient for everyone to admire them. Qingqing and the Undying are naturally together, like two grasshoppers on the same string. It is said that the Undying has reaped considerable benefits from the Merchant Alliance, and of course, he must also do things for Qingqing. After all, merchants thrive on harmony, and certain matters cannot be handled too ruthlessly. At this time, the usefulness of the Undying's Assassin Alliance becomes significant; the business world is indeed a battlefield.
Soon, Xue'er, Xin Qing, Fei Yun, Xiang Zi, and Bao Bei entered together, clearly having undergone careful preparation. In such occasions, a woman can showcase a man's strength
"Illegal brother, when it is time to let go, one must let go. A real man should be decisive!" Aisin Gioro, seeing the confused expression of the illegal immigrant, spoke up to offer advice
From the smiles on the faces of those present, it is evident that the harvest has been substantial
The beautiful woman next to the clear and fragrant fruit is ... ?
A woman's gaze is sharp; she immediately sensed that someone was observing her and turned to look towards the door. Since she had already noticed, I naturally pretended to have just arrived as I entered.
Oh? Is it accurate?" Qingqing suddenly asked with a clear and fruity fragrance
I walked towards the living room, and indeed, the prominent figures of the Central Plains had all arrived. The four sisters of the Heart Moon, the Four Fairies, and the Enchanting Flower Demoness were naturally the center of attention. A graceful lady is always sought after by men
The grand military parade has commenced
Boss, Qingqing only has the fragrance of fruit, the eternal ancient sorcerer, Aisin Gioro, illegal immigration, the Four Fairies have all arrived, the Three Wolves are fighting desperately, Xinyue, and Xinxin are currently entertaining them, you should hurry over!
The admiration of humanity for the strong is innate
Upon my arrival, naturally, the entire venue must focus on me. Whether familiar or unfamiliar, everyone must engage in pleasantries. After all, receiving an invitation from the Magic Palace signifies an acknowledgment of their current strength and status, which is not something everyone can attain.
Riding on "Fa Fa," the three wolves of desperation timely patted Fa Fa's head. Both "Fa Fa" and "Xiao Zi" immediately let out a long howl towards the sky, to which Bing Luan and Xue Yun responded without delay
For some heavyweight figures in the guild, they remain unmoved; in reality, there are only a few individuals who can truly instill fear in them. However, the wrath of the masses is not to be trifled with
At this time, Zhan Buzheng was wandering in Kunlun. After gaining some experience and significantly increasing his strength, he now spent his days around Kunlun. When leveling up, he would go to the leveling area beneath Kunlun, and after completing his daily tasks, he would go on adventures. His daily life was very fulfilling, free of any worries, as he fully enjoyed the pleasures of the game. He was also aware of the news regarding the Demon Palace Festival.
The martial guild requires funds, while the commercial guild needs bodyguards; thus, the two sides naturally find a perfect match.
The phoenix goddess Xue, reborn from the ashes, wears a crown resembling a divine artifact, "The Blessing of the Water God." With her exquisite figure and unparalleled beauty, she appears even more stunning under the radiance of the artifact, outshining all others. It seems that Xue, the obedient wife, has also invested in her appearance; previously, she always thought this crown was too extravagant, yet this time she has chosen to wear it, perhaps to assert her dominance over the beautiful women present.
First, the review is of the Thieves' Guild and the Archers' Guild, each consisting of one thousand members. The leader of the Thieves' Guild is "Catfish," a level 75 rogue, equipped with the top-tier Windstorm set and an exceptional Undying Boomerang. The leader of the Archers' Guild, "Flying Snow Shooting the White Egret," is also level 75 and is the foremost archer of our Magic Palace
Recently, some emerging guilds have been quite rampant, likely due to their youthful audacity, daring to engage in all sorts of activities. The Demon Palace has also faced several disturbances, but we have managed to suppress them as much as possible. However, if this continues, it could lead to serious consequences. We should take this opportunity to showcase our military strength. If anyone dares to provoke us, we must deliver a swift and devastating blow as a warning to others
I stopped his overly affectionate actions; I certainly do not want to be taken advantage of...! ... The most critical issue is his terrifying weight
This is a sentiment expressed; it is essential to showcase the formidable combat strength of the Magic Palace in order to better develop business alliances, especially as a warning to certain guilds with ulterior motives
The mages collectively cast their spells, and a gigantic "Magic Palace" appeared in the sky
This beautiful woman is clearly on the same level as the enchanting ones, with a faint smile on her face, speaking little. Her bright eyes exude a captivating charm, could she be a water nymph whose love leaves no trace? ... This is the woman whom the battle has not ceased to remember until now ... Indeed, she is extraordinary!
Five teams gathered together, shouting in unison: Long live the Demon Palace! Long live the Demon King! (Dizzy, is this personal worship? It must be that rascal Xiao Mao's doing! Sure enough, that fat guy is looking around everywhere but not at me)
"Soul Devourer, I would like to take this opportunity to present a small token of greeting." Saying this, he took a piece of paper out of his pocket
According to our principles, we should not disclose customer confidentiality, as it is a rule among us assassins. However, this matter cannot be overlooked, even if it breaks the rules, because after investigation, the players in the Japan region have already taken action
Sigh... In this world, how many can truly compare to them? They are simply using the banner of generosity and gentleness to cut off my path.
This article focuses on the best combination that will dominate the world in the future. Behind the glory of the Demon King, who devours souls, there is a person silently paving the way for him. The unimaginable trust and tacit cooperation between the two are the keys to the invincibility of the Demon Palace, which is also the most troublesome issue for their opponents—a combination that is difficult to break.
The hidden dragon rises to the heavens
Haha, none of those present can compare to the Undying Brother; you are indeed engaging in a business with no capital investment!
I naturally must express my intentions; this is precisely the time to strengthen the prestige of the Magic Palace as well as my own prestige and authority. A guild without absolute leadership is like a pile of loose sand, unable to form a significant influence. While it may not need to be so exaggerated, it is still necessary
The leaders of the emerging forces, especially some individuals with ulterior motives, were left dumbfounded, each instinctively touching their own necks, relieved that they had not acted recklessly.
When Xue'er and Feiyun are together, they will only complement each other without any sense of conflict, as they are of different types
"Everyone, I apologize for the inadequate hospitality!" While greeting everyone, Xiao Mao's memory is quite impressive, as he is able to converse with each person as if they were old friends. Everyone treats this second-in-command of the Magic Palace with utmost respect, even more so than they do with me.
In addition to the seven major guilds, there are many other experts in various fields. Although the seven major guilds are currently powerful, several other guilds are beginning to catch up, poised to break our monopoly. For instance, the guild "Xia Zhi Da Zhe" follows the path of the Warrior Alliance, while "Sha Shou Chun Qiu" follows the path of the Thief Alliance. Of course, other professions are also included, but in smaller proportions. It is rumored that they are competing for resources. The guild "Sha Shou Chun Qiu" has even had a covert conflict with "Bu Si Bu Xiu". However, since their interests do not currently conflict directly, they have not taken any rash actions. Now that the situation has developed to this point, no one is willing to act lightly to avoid letting others take advantage.
Xue'er only recently discovered that the blessings of the goddess have an effect on Xueyun. By harnessing the power of the divine artifact, Xueyun can maintain a phoenix state for a certain period of time. Of course, its power is far inferior to that of a true phoenix; it is merely at the level just above level 9. However, from an outward appearance, it is quite astonishing, especially since many people have witnessed the terrifying destructive power of the firebird Feiyun after its transformation, and they regard it as equally fearsome, only this time it has changed from fire to ice. In fact, it is merely at the level just above level 9, but from an outward appearance, it is quite astonishing, especially since many people have witnessed the terrifying destructive power of the firebird Feiyun after its transformation, and they regard it as equally fearsome, only this time it has changed from fire to ice
Next is the Mage Guild, which has been further empowered through collaboration with the Magic Research Institute. After all, I also started as a mage, and the influence of mages within the guild remains substantial.
The momentum of the Demon Palace astonished everyone present
Next, the sorceress group led by Xue'er and Feiyun, composed entirely of beautiful women, is headed by the unparalleled duo of extraordinary beauty. Xue'er released Xueyun and activated the Goddess's Blessing (the crown and belt surprisingly belong to the same set, which took us by surprise). A beam of white light shot from above Xue'er's head directly into the sky towards Xueyun, and behind her appeared the phantom of the goddess holding a water bottle (do not underestimate this energy-embodied goddess; she is not merely for looks). Stimulated by the energy, Xueyun rapidly enlarged, activating the Goddess's Blessing (the crown and belt surprisingly belong to the same set, which took us by surprise). A beam of white light shot from above Xue'er's head directly into the sky towards Xueyun, and behind her appeared the phantom of the goddess holding a water bottle (do not underestimate this energy-embodied goddess; she is not merely for looks). Stimulated by the energy, Xueyun rapidly enlarged, soaring in the air like a true phoenix, with substantial energy feathers emitting a chilling aura. The sorcerers let out a delicate shout, and a super-sized Bagua binding spell appeared, producing an impressive sound effect.
However, all of this has nothing to do with the present, because he knows that whether he gains one more or loses one, it makes no difference. If he does not succeed, he will perish. This time, he is also resolute! Now, he is unrestrained; he does not possess the luck of others, nor does he have extraordinary talent, but he has an indomitable will. He firmly believes that as long as he works hard, there will come a day when he will reap the rewards
However, the system has already been adjusted; now even having double the number of people is not a problem. Have you not noticed that the space in our Yanhuang City has been enlarged
The eternal ancient sorcerer beside inserted a path
The Phantom Thieves employed a method of stealthy marching, appearing and disappearing intermittently, which added to their mystery. This spectacular scene of a group utilizing stealth techniques was unprecedented. Under the leadership of the captain, the magical archers shot arrows into the sky, with a flurry of frozen and fiery arrows resembling a fireworks display
The main force of the Demon Palace, each member possesses a combat power exceeding 20,000
"That is, if in the future my younger brother cannot make ends meet, Brother Shihun, you must lend a helping hand." Immortal and Unyielding also joined in the jest.
After everyone exchanged pleasantries, the time was almost up. We arrived at the newly established headquarters of the Business Alliance, a vast free trade zone that occupies the size of an entire first-tier city, adjacent to the Magic Palace. It is now bustling with people, and the opening ceremony is taking place simultaneously with the military parade at the Magic Palace.
Start the True Dragon
Hehe, I didn't expect I was worth so much money. If I run out of money in the future, I might consider selling myself. Haha, thank you very much, Brother Undying!
Brother Shihun, what a grand gesture! If you do not make a sound, it is fine, but when you do, it is astonishing. Life for us brothers will not be easy from now on, haha
However, in any regard, this performance has yielded results beyond imagination. In fact, there are even greater benefits that I have yet to consider!
Xiao Mao was also taken aback by this news, yet the smile on his round face did not diminish at all. For a successful businessman, a smile is indispensable; an eternal and unchanging smile can cover up many things... except when facing me, he always wears a bitter expression, as if he wants to transfer all his grievances. Marry me, what a world!
Particularly when I saw the dragon form emerging from my body, I was even more astonished. The three rascals, the Three Wolves, joined in the commotion, and for a moment, the cries of the invincible Demon King, shaking the world, were incessant
The clear and fragrant fruit left them looking at each other in bewilderment. The scene at that time still sends shivers down my spine when I think back on it; the power of the super divine beast is beyond what humanity can withstand
The gaze with which she looks at me during this illegal entry remains as persistent as ever, and the unique warmth she shows towards me is evident even to a blind person who can tell what has transpired between us. Moreover, her presence alongside Xue'er and the others signifies her own identity, unlike Xin Yue and her companions who would typically arrive at the venue in advance
Next is the most notable Demon Cavalry led by Xinqing and the three relentless wolves, the most powerful force of the Demon Palace, divided into two groups: ground forces and air forces, with individual combat capabilities all exceeding 25,000
Aisin Gioro silently glanced at the illegal entry, then at me, appearing to be deep in thought
They are still the most outstanding, riding on the crystal dragon (temporarily borrowed from Qing'er), wielding the warrior's dream weapon—the Jade Dragon Slayer. They are simply unparalleled. The warriors let out a loud roar as they activated their fighting spirit, and the Dragon Slayer sensed the warriors' fighting spirit, emitting waves of excited cries. The soaring blade energy responded to each other, and since its "enlightenment," the Dragon Slayer has become increasingly sensitive, as if it has gained a life of its own
Xiao Mao merely smiled and shook his head at that moment, "No matter how lush the leaves grow or how beautiful the flowers bloom, if they are separated from the roots, the leaves will wither immediately"
Everyone was left speechless; the legendary artifact, the True Dragon, is something everyone has heard of, an incredibly powerful treasure. While many have spoken of its extraordinary nature, few have actually seen it with their own eyes. This time, I truly had the pleasure of witnessing it, and seeing it in person is far more impressive than merely hearing about it
As neutral parties in illegal immigration, the Aisin Gioro can be considered a group. The two individuals also share a mutual understanding, being masters ranked second and third on the Heavenly Ranking, standing as figures at the pinnacle. Both are similarly reticent; one is composed, the other calm, one is infatuated, the other heartless. Together, they coexist harmoniously, yet they speak very little, creating a peculiar atmosphere. Their presence feels somewhat out of place amidst the bustle of the hall, yet they do not affect one another. Remarkable! One is calm, one is infatuated, one is heartless, and together they are very harmonious, but they also speak very little, giving off a strange feeling, somewhat incongruous with the lively atmosphere of the hall, yet they do not influence each other. Remarkable!
After marrying, the Narcissus has rarely appeared in public, maintaining a low profile this time as well. However, her somewhat mature charm and faintly melancholic expression make her even more captivating. Relatively speaking, due to her low profile and the previous "incident," she has attracted little attention. Moreover, Qingqing is right beside her, which is probably what she desires. Occasionally, she seems to be searching for something, and whenever she comes up empty-handed, a look of disappointment flashes in her eyes. Due to her low profile and the previous "incident," she has attracted little attention. Moreover, Qingqing is right beside her, which is probably what she desires. Occasionally, she seems to be searching for something, and whenever she comes up empty-handed, a look of disappointment flashes in her eyes.
I can avoid it if possible; I do not want to upset Xue'er and Feiyun. Later, they issued a strict order: adding more beauties in the future is not out of the question. They are not jealous, but there is only one principle: they must be on par with Xue'er and Feiyun; otherwise, don't even think about it
Excerpt from "World" Influential Figures: Quotes from Business Tycoon - Money Mao
This remark indeed elicited hearty laughter from everyone. This fellow, who is relentless in his pursuits, is quite cunning; every time he takes action, he does so with absolute certainty.
Dizzy, I rushed over without even catching my breath, where would I have the time to pay attention to this
It is no wonder that Xiao Mao is so pleased; he has managed to attract such a large following, and his promotional efforts have indeed proven effective. Of course, the players are also motivated by their desire to make a name for themselves and even to win the affection of beautiful women
Boss, the sisters-in-law have all arrived
It must be said that Qingqing, with her fruity fragrance, is indeed a charming person. Although it is well known that the establishment of the business alliance will most affect her business group, she shows no signs of this on the surface
Alright, when Xue'er and the others arrive, let them come over as well
Especially during many tumultuous moments in the future, astute opponents always seek to undermine their alliance from within, yet none have succeeded. One individual, willing to work diligently and selflessly for another, entrusts the vast assets of the Magic Palace to the former without any reservations, which is something others find difficult to comprehend
Accurate! The Aisin Gioro rarely speaks, and everyone knows that his character is indifferent.
However, a few individuals have already noticed a problem, and Qingqing's unique fruit fragrance is one of them. The identity of Aisin Gioro is not simple; the developer's decision regarding this matter is highly confidential, and there is no information available online. He also expended considerable effort to uncover this, treating it like a treasure. Unexpectedly, Aisin Gioro casually mentioned it without any regard, which is certainly worth paying attention to
Boss, you can rest assured that I will handle this matter well. What I lack now is your support. I believe we should schedule the first martial arts competition in the Central Plains for last, as it will be the grand finale. Today's event is the establishment celebration of the Business Alliance, but the Qingqing-only fruit-flavored business alliance will definitely be envious, haha. The Newcomer King Challenge will be held simultaneously, as those who enjoy watching newcomers compete will not be as numerous as those attending the first martial arts competition. This way, the two events will complement each other, making it lively enough! Since yesterday, the daily traffic in Yanhuang City has exceeded ten million. This morning, the game even lagged for a moment, haha, this is a historic first!
The Flying Flower Sorceress captivates with her rose ensemble, the vibrant pink attire accentuating her enchanting figure. In her hand, she holds a delicate rose, its subtle fragrance mingling with a unique femininity, enough to draw the attention of men. Particularly, her flirtatious and passionate demeanor doubles her allure, making nearly everyone present eager to engage with her. This has certainly exhausted the hosts, and the three relentless wolves are not faring any better. Given the circumstances, the three wolves have also become one of her "personal guards." However, there remain considerable challenges before the revolution can succeed.
The Cloud Platform Fairy Feiyun, clad in a simple sorcerer's robe devoid of any superfluous embellishments, embodies a serene and pure presence. If Xue'er resembles a gentle and noble goddess, then Feiyun is akin to a chaste and tranquil nun, evoking both compassion and a reluctance to disturb her peace. Yet beneath this gentle exterior, no one dares to question her status as the foremost sorceress, possessing both exceptional talent and beauty, particularly her refreshing aura that captivates all.
Players who have pets that have not been recalled may encounter some minor troubles. The pets are immediately intimidated by the aura they emit, becoming either motionless or trembling uncontrollably. Without the guidance of their owner's will, these pets react purely on instinct. Currently, Xueyun, Fafa, and Xiaozhi have all surpassed level 9, making them super pets that are beyond what they can withstand
The original name is Nangong Xinqing, the heir of the Nangong family, one of the four great ancient martial arts families in the eyes of the outside world. "Big brother, you finally made an appearance!" A "leap" shot towards me, ... but it looked like a meatball bouncing on the ground, ... if I could capture it and keep it, that would be wonderful, absolutely classic. I believe that Xiaobaisheng would definitely pay a high price for it!
The Eternal Ancient Sorcerer, along with the Four Fairies, can be considered our allies. Their share in the establishment of this commercial alliance naturally makes them half-owners, and they are indeed a group. The strong joining of the Dreamy Rose Troupe this time is largely thanks to the assistance of my senior. However, figuring out how to express my gratitude has become a significant headache. If it really comes to it, I can only... However, figuring out how to express my gratitude has become a significant headache. If it really comes to it, I can only...
The fragrance of the fruit is clear and refreshing; they have long been mentally prepared for the relentless struggle and do not care much. However, given the significant impact on the Demon Palace, jealousy is inevitable.
