Chapter 100 keeps ringing

Shock. Nothing but shock.

Jiu Meng and the others watched the young girl and the NPCs in the shop busily working, and they didn't know what to say.

Only now did they realize the importance of education; at the very least, it would help describe their current feelings... Ugh, no, they couldn't find any words to describe how they felt.

Was the world crazy, or was the Boss crazy? While all other players were thinking about how to earn coins from players to climb the leaderboard, Boss Yi Meng's mental state was already far ahead—she was directly figuring out ways to work with Specters!

"No wonder Boss Yi Meng chose to put the Commercial Castle in this location." Jiu Meng seemed to have an epiphany. She also seemed to understand why there was no movement in Boss Yi Meng's earnings during the day, but it skyrocketed at night. With this momentum, wouldn't surpassing Flonisa be easy?

"I have to say, the name of Boss Yi Meng's guild, Mengshan Psychiatric Hospital, is quite fitting for a psychiatric hospital. It really matches the Boss's mental state," sighed one of the players, whose ID was "I Have a Small Mine."

None of them could have done this; even if they dared to think it, they wouldn't dare to do it.

Not to mention anything else, the appearance of these Specters was indescribable, let alone doing business with them. No wonder Boss Yi Meng could be a Boss; it wasn't just because she was a big spender, she was just built differently!

After the young girl finished her work and sent the centipede Specter away, she looked at Jiu Meng and the others and smiled. "Guests, sorry for the wait. This is a Specter Bat Tanghulu that the previous guest didn't want. Would you all like to try some?"

As the young girl spoke, she enthusiastically shoved the Specter Bat Tanghulu into their hands, adding, "Don't be shy, we're all family. They're making new ones in the back anyway. It wasn't easy for you all to come here, I can't let you go hungry!"

Jiu Meng looked at the Specter Bat covered in sugar in her hand. Under the young girl's gaze, she tried to open her mouth several times, but couldn't bring herself to take a bite.

It was too damn creepy! Whoever wants to eat it, go ahead!

She wasn't eating it, that was for sure.

"Um, I'm on a diet recently, I can't eat sweets." Jiu Meng said, returning the item to the young girl. However, she saw the young girl sigh with slight regret, then take a bite and chew twice. Jiu Meng even saw the juice explode out of it!

That was incredibly explosive—so explosive that from then on, Jiu Meng would keep her distance from Tanghulu and never touch one again in this life.

...

While over a dozen Dragon Country players were being entertained by the girl Huan Xin, on the other side, those Specters who had followed this group to this place were staring at the Commercial Castle in front of them, their eyes glowing, unable to contain their excitement.

"Are my eyes blind? Why am I seeing hallucinations?"

"It's not a hallucination, it's real. There really is a player who opened a Commercial Castle here!"

"What are we waiting for? I think I just saw Brother Centipede. Let's go, let's go inside and take a look."

With more and more Specters flooding in, the earnings of the Commercial Castle built by the three from Mengshan Psychiatric Hospital began to skyrocket. It was faster than riding a rocket; in the blink of an eye, it increased by over a hundred thousand, rising from outside the top ten to the top five, the top four, and now it was in the top three!

Black Prince seemed happy to see this. He didn't try to catch up because Lin Xi Yi Meng had surpassed him; instead, he kept sending team-up requests to Lin Xi, but was directly blocked by her.

What kind of person was this? Constantly sending team requests, what's wrong with him?

Lin Xi didn't remember having any relationship with Black Prince. Not in the previous life, and certainly not in this one. When something is abnormal, there must be a demon; one must never easily trust outsiders.

Compared to teaming up with Black Prince, their Mengshan trio was the real iron-clad unit. As for Huang Yunxi and Huang Yufang... even if they defected, it wouldn't matter.

After all, Lin Xi had never pinned her hopes on outsiders. Teaming up was just a convenience.

Inside a uniquely styled palace, a pair of pale arms brushed across the holographic interface of the game. Looking at the blocked screen, the words were filled with resentment.

"Why did she reject me?"

"Why is she allowed to reject me?"

"Ah... Hahaha, she actually rejected me. She is just so unique, such a charming temperament!"

"It doesn't matter. If she rejects me, I can go find her, pester her, and make it so she can never reject me again, never!"

Hearing these words, Black Prince only wanted to stay far away from this thing. If he had known it would turn out like this, he wouldn't have maxed out his home level in the beginning.

This Specter was a lunatic!

Just then, the palace doors opened. Several terrified servants were brought in. Before they understood what was happening, one of them lost their life.

Hearing the sound of the Specter chewing human bones, the remaining ones turned pale with fear, huddled together, their legs going weak as they fearfully crouched down and backed away repeatedly.

Cries for mercy and help echoed from inside the palace. A few minutes later, the palace doors opened. A thick smell of blood wafted out, and a pool of fresh blood slowly flowed out from the palace doors.

...

After the first guest, Lin Xi's small city began to operate. She didn't go out to greet them personally, but since this position was indispensable, she had to let her Specters, including Huan Xin, go out to work.

Fortunately, she had made a butterfly mask with materials beforehand for this exact situation, or for when she needed to separate from Huan Xin and cover her face at any time. Now, it solved the trouble.

I have to say, as the head housekeeper gifted by the home system, doing this was effortless, and it was much better than other Specters.

The reason Lin Xi stayed in her office instead of going out was not laziness, but because the pay-to-win system, which she hadn't seen in a long time, was frantically brushing its presence in Lin Xi's mind because of this leaderboard.

'Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the Pay-to-Win Novice Task (I), obtaining double gold coin rebate.'

'Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully activating the pay-to-win system Novice Task (II). Earn one million gold coins within seven days. Completing it will grant a double rebate on earned gold coins, one Novice Task Gift Pack, and one New Decoration Style Blind Box.'

'Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the pay-to-win system Novice Task (II), obtaining a double rebate on earned gold coins, one Novice Task Gift Pack, and one New Decoration Style Blind Box. (This blind box comes with all decorations within the style).'

'Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully activating the pay-to-win system Novice Task (III). Earn five million gold coins within four days. Completing it will grant a triple rebate on earned gold coins, one Novice Task Gift Pack, one Lucky Spin draw, and one New Decoration Style Blind Box.'

'Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the pay-to-win system Novice Task (III), obtaining a triple rebate on earned gold coins...'

...

This series of messages made Lin Xi's head buzz; it kept ringing and never stopped.

Not only that, Lin Xi also discovered that the double gold coin rebate she obtained because of the system was also added to the leaderboard.

This...

Even Lin Xi didn't expect that the items from this pay-to-win system could affect the game's statistics. Could it be that this system could exploit the game's bugs?

At this speed, she would immediately surpass Xu Xu Ru Sheng and close in on Flonisa!

She thought it would take some effort, but this pay-to-win system was as helpful as divine intervention. Even if she slacked off later, she might still be able to surpass Flonisa.

At this moment, Lin Xi suddenly remembered Dongfeng Huanye, whom she met on the leaderboard last time.

And attached that famous quote from Huan Ye.

"I didn't want to take first place either. I just wanted to secure a bottom spot and get on the leaderboard. Why am I so unlucky that I suddenly became number one!"
