nChapter 27

nThree million in IOU.

nLin Chen wrote it just like that.

nTo be honest, Bai Shuyi could not understand this.

nAfter getting the car and leaving, Bai Shuyi asked as she drove, “Just because of that slap, you really want to return them an extra million?”

n“How is that possible?”

nLin Chen was amused.

nThe Ye brothers could forget about getting a single cent of this money.

nLin Chen didn’t need to do anything.

nBecause there was no need.

nYe Tenghu and Ye Tenglong had both sold their gaming accounts.

nWhen Lin Chen finished filming and returned from Beijing, the world would undergo a huge change.

nIn the world after the game’s invasion, two ordinary people who did not inherit any of the game’s abilities would probably become food for the monsters without Lin Chen needing to do anything.

nLin Chen wouldn’t need to return the money, nor did he feel any psychological pressure.

nIn the past few years, many families had been destroyed because they borrowed money from Ye Tenghu.

nWhy should Lin Chen feel pressured?

n“Just wait and see.”

nLin Chen did not explain too much to Bai Shuyi.

nThe car arrived at Dragon Sea TV Station.

n“Then I’ll go back first,” Bai Shuyi said when Lin Chen was about to get out of the car.

nLin Chen nodded and said, “I estimate that this trip will take a week. I’ll be back at least on the 27th. You’ll probably be bored staying in the Dragon Sea City alone. I suggest you go home and say that the school is on holiday. After all, you saw just now that Ye Tenghu is not to be trifled with. If I’m not there, I can’t guarantee your safety.”

nHe found an excuse to let Bai Shuyi go home.

nLin Chen calculated the time.

nWhen he returned from this trip, the game was about to invade the real world.

nBai Shuyi’s parents were old, and he did not know if they had a game account.

nAt this moment, Lin Chen asked Bai Shuyi to go home. When the time came, her parents and family could at least protect her.

nBai Shuyi was not the only one.

nIn reality, when Liu Mengyao heard that Lin Chen was going to Beijing, she said that she could also apply for leave from school and go to Beijing to play. However, Lin Chen rejected her and asked her to stay with her family.

n“Okay, then I’ll go home and play for a few days.”

nBai Shuyi had no objections to Lin Chen’s suggestion.

nShe had come to Dragon Sea City because of Lin Chen in the first place.

nIn addition to helping Snow Foam and looking for Lin Chen to gather information, there was also the fact that her father’s health hadn’t been too good recently. Bai Shuyi was originally studying far away, but this time, she was using this school in Dragon Sea as a springboard and planned to transfer back to the city to study.

nThis way, she could go back and take care of her father who was not in good health at any time.

nBai Shuyi had also told Lin Chen about this matter. Regarding Bai Shuyi’s father’s illness, Lin Chen remembered that when the game invaded reality, it did not bring about a complete disaster.

nThere were also benefits!

nOne of the benefits was that all the diseases on the Blue Planet were gone!

nIn fact, even paralyzed people could walk.

nBlind people could also see.

nBroken limbs could also be regrown!

nThe cancer had disappeared without a trace.

nObviously, this thing didn’t make sense… It was very unscientific!

nIt was more like a strange power, a magical energy.

nIt was very in line with the settings of the game world.

nHowever, Lin Chen could not come to a conclusion as to why all of this had happened.

nFor example, the newest soul cultivation system in the game.

nIt looked very mysterious.

nHowever, was it really that mysterious?

nThousands of years ago, in the ancient times of the Blue Planet’s Dragon Kingdom, there were sages who had proposed the concept of soul cultivation…

nIn addition, after the cultivation system was activated, it brought about a major change!

nOriginally, in the New World game, players had a hunger system. Once the hunger value was below 70, their attributes would decrease. If it was below 30, they would enter a weak state. All kinds of physical resistance would decrease, and the negative status effect might be extended…

nOnce the hunger value was lower than 10, you could die at any time!

nHowever, after entering soul cultivation, players could use the energy of soul cultivation to obtain satiety. In other words, it was fine even if you didn’t eat the delicacies in the game for a month.

nYou could even be fine for a year!

nIn addition, the soul cultivation method also gave birth to a new currency in the game…

nSoul Crystal!

nThis was a necessity for soul cultivation and also a consumable.

nThis was because soul cultivation was a continuous process that required constant consumption of Soul Crystals. This made the value of Soul Crystals incomparably precious, enough to replace the gold coin’s status.

nAs for the various gods, holy lands, countries, races, and even demon nests in New World, after the soul cultivation system was activated, the first thing they did was to exchange gold coins for soul crystals.

nAn ordinary soul crystal was equivalent to 10,000 gold coins.

nA medium-grade Soul Crystal was equivalent to 100,000 gold coins!

nA high-grade soul crystal was equivalent to a million gold coins!

nA top-grade soul crystal was equivalent to 10 million gold coins!

nA dazzling soul crystal was equivalent to 100 million gold coins!

nIt was very expensive!

nFrom this, one could see the value of the Soul Crystal.

nLin Chen definitely had to save up for these.

nHowever, Lin Chen was not in a hurry. He first asked Zhang Chunlin to collect the gold coins and try his best to collect all the gold coins in the market!

nIt was a simple principle. Players would use gold coins to exchange for Soul Crystals.

nThere were so many factions and races in the game, and the reserves of Soul Crystals were enough for everyone to exchange for. Therefore, Lin Chen only needed to monopolize the gold coins. After receiving enough gold coins, he could exchange them however he wanted!

nLin Chen’s current gold coins in the game had already reached 100 billion!

nHowever, this was not enough.

nIt was only 1,000 dazzling soul crystals.

nOf course, in the game, this was a huge fortune.

nHe was even richer than many small countries and races.

nHowever, in Lin Chen’s opinion, it was not enough. He wanted more!

nIn any case, the ratio of game currency to real currency had fallen from one to one to 100,000 to one. According to this ratio, Lin Chen had spent more than a million in real money on gold coins.

nHe could still collect a lot!

nLin Chen’s plan was to reserve at least:

n10,000 dazzling soul crystals.

n100,000 top-grade soul crystals.

n1,000,000 high-grade soul crystals.

nTen million medium-grade soul crystals.

nHundreds of millions of ordinary soul crystals!

nIn that case, Lin Chen still needed a lot of money.

nHe was still short by 20 to 30 million.

nThe gap was huge!

nHowever, Lin Chen still had a few days left. He could earn a portion of the profits from appearing on the show, but the bulk of it depended on QuickTok. If it really didn’t work out, he would ask Bai Shuyi and Liu Mengyao to invest some.

nThe television station’s program team sent an assistant to receive Lin Chen.

nThere was no one else.

nAfter all, although Lin Chen was popular now, he was only receiving negative publicity. He was not a big shot. In this real life society, he was just an ordinary person who had suddenly become popular.

nAfter that, Lin Chen put on his makeup for the stage.

nAn hour later, Lin Chen passed the audition.

nThen, he arrived at the studio. The beautiful host, Xiao Xiao, gracefully received Lin Chen in her professional suit. Then, she began her oral broadcast, followed by an interview with Lin Chen…

nThe recording of the program could not be done very smoothly.

nThat was because Lin Chen’s words shocked the entire production team.

nThere was even a pause in recording.

nThe director went straight to Lin Chen to communicate with him, but Lin Chen still insisted.

n“You shouted at the Dragon Kingdom’s military on our show. I was afraid…”

n“Don’t worry, Director!”

nLin Chen said in a deep voice, “What if my dream comes true? With the current prices in New World, even if the military invests a lot, it won’t cost much.”

n“This is not about money!” The director was in a difficult position. He said, “Although your dream and the things you said shocked us, what about after the shock? This is just your dream. Everyone will only treat it as a joke!”

n“If that’s the case, what are you afraid of? Anyway, this is my own words and actions. I’ll take responsibility in the end! Besides, if the military really listens to me and the scene I dreamed of doesn’t come true, do you think the military will take the initiative to reveal that they were tricked and let the entire world laugh at them?”

nLin Chen smiled and said, “Director, don’t worry. My comments are safe!”

n“Alright, since you’re so insistent, then I have to make Xiao Xiao add a sentence to her lines saying these are all your personal words and actions and have nothing to do with us. How about it?” In the end, the director compromised by Lin Chen’s insistence.

nHowever, the director did not take responsibility.

nHence, he thought of such a method.

n“Alright, do as you please!”

nLin Chen didn’t care.

nResponsibility?

nHe was not afraid!

nOnce the game descended into reality, who would dare to ask him to take responsibility?

nIn terms of combat power, Lin Chen was already the best in the game.

nAs for wealth, Lin Chen was nothing in reality.

nHowever, Lin Chen’s share of the wealth in the game would exceed 50% of the entire game’s wealth or even more in a few days!

nAfter completing the recording of “The Contemporary Youth”, Lin Chen packed his luggage.

n…

nIn the departure hall of Dragon Sea City, Lin Chen took out his phone and looked at the time.

nApril 22nd.

n4:20 P.M.

nThere were only six days left before the game invaded reality…

nNo, five days!

nToday was about to pass.

nThe plane was still two hours away from departure.

nLin Chen sent a message to Liu Mengyao and put on his gaming helmet.

nHe went online to play for a while and used his daily soul cultivation points.

nWith Lin Chen’s current status in the game, he would definitely use dazzling soul crystals to cultivate his soul. On the soul cultivation rankings, Lin Chen was far ahead in first place with his second-stage cultivation!

nSoul cultivation could increase attribute values.

nIn addition, Lin Chen could now open the Supreme Treasure Box.

nHe had obtained three sets of pet equipment, and the attributes of the three pets had also increased.

nThe current Lin Chen could even solo the Southern Heavenly Gate’s dungeon!

nHis magic attack power had also exceeded 100,000!

nThen, Lin Chen looked at the reward for the Chaos of the Heavenly Palace dungeon…

nHidden Class Certificate: Celestial!

nCelestial: Goes where he pleases. Free and unrestrained. Carefree and unrestrained. You are a Celestial! After changing your class to a Celestial, you will become an all-rounded warrior and mage. Regardless of whether it is long-range or close-range combat, you will be able to fight with ease!

nLin Chen did not obtain a hidden class with wind attribute.

nHowever, it was the most balanced but also the most difficult class in New World.

nAt the same time, it was also an extremely powerful job class!

n
