78: Chapter 78 A Man Must Keep His Promises

While Zhao Xiaoshuai was leisurely spending the first day of the Lunar New Year, the carnival belonging to the Brotherhood in the game "three generals kill" had only just begun.

Following the grandstanding of the two Brotherhood big shots, Taowu and Qiongqi, another big shot had unexpectedly emerged.

[Congratulations to player Tiandi, who is blessed with great luck and has obtained the Sanqing Transformation Feather!]

[Congratulations to player Tiandi, who has heaven-defying luck and has obtained the Jinghong Transformation Feather!]

Like a relay race, the three big shots had been continuously flooding the server-wide announcements since the early hours of the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Some people who stayed up all night playing cards until dawn logged into the game, only to see the winning announcements still constantly refreshing.

This phenomenon made many people wonder if the lottery system had a bug, allowing precious feathers to be drawn so easily.

Many people followed the trend to try their luck, and a few lucky ones actually won, triggering a massive wave of centralized card drawing for a time.

However, as the sample size increased, the claim that the "system had a bug" collapsed on its own.

Winners are always in the minority, which is why game designers must design the mode where winning is announced server-wide.

"If he can win, why can't I?"

"Just try it, what if I do?"

How similar games are to reality.

As other players logged off one by one in disappointment, eventually only Tiandi's winning announcements continued to sound from time to time.

The person operating the Tiandi account was, of course, the dedicated little sub. Having just woken up, she didn't even have time to eat breakfast before earnestly starting to complete her master's tasks.

The Tiandi account, a shill account, had applied for a total of 2,000,000 Jade in resources, a perfectly round number that ordinary players generally wouldn't top up, so this account could only be managed by this little sub, Ling Rui.

Before this, Ling Rui had almost no contact with mobile games; her real life was fulfilling and colorful, and she had neither the interest nor the time to play such things.

Fortunately, the task given to her was very simple: to tap for ten-draws.

However, finishing all of them required tapping more than two thousand six hundred times, which was truly manual labor.

Zhao Xiaoshuai had actually taken the time to log in and tap a few times himself.

At the beginning, the pleasure of casually tapping ten-draw after ten-draw was quite obvious; occasionally drawing an orange or red feather was also very delightful, and the prestige of the server-wide announcement satisfied him.

But when all this was repeated a hundred times, two hundred times...

It didn't seem so interesting anymore.

He was gradually beginning to understand why the rich people in the news always liked to pursue thrills; the more dangerous it was, the happier they were to play.

It seemed that in reality, he couldn't indulge himself too much, otherwise he would soon fall into an abyss where he could no longer feel satisfied with anything he obtained.

Compared to the flourishing "Big Three" of the Brotherhood, Only Recharging a Billion Points a Day, who had been infinitely glorious just a few days ago, now seemed to pale in comparison.

Regarding the series of events such as the change of ownership in the arena, the loss of the mining area, and the mockery in the game channel, he had made no response.

Did it look like he had admitted defeat?

"The big shot is probably spending the New Year with his family or on vacation right now, just not having time to play the game, so why are you dogs barking?"

"What kind of excuse is that? We clearly saw your guild big shot log on and stay online for a long time, yet he didn't dare to say a single word."

Although the Moyu Society side couldn't beat the Brotherhood people, they wouldn't lose in a war of words, engaging in fierce exchanges with them on the public channel.

Of course, this excuse usually didn't hold water. Zhao Xiaoshuai and Xing Tianjie both had "agents" in the game. When they were busy and couldn't get away, theoretically, as long as the money arrived, the person was effectively there too.

Their subordinates would naturally take care of things for them.

Even the newly promoted big shot, Lin Yongbo, already had someone proactively contact him to help manage his account.

Yi Jian Heng Jiang watched the war of words on the public screen, his heart itching uncontrollably; how he wanted to tell everyone everything.

But he had promised the big shot not to be a blabbermouth, and had even sworn an oath at the time, which was how he finally secured the opportunity to manage the big shot's account.

A man must keep his word! What is said cannot be unsaid!

Besides, the big shot was likely planning to give them another surprise, to catch them off guard at the last moment. If he were to recklessly leak the big shot's plan, it would ruin things instead.

He was the one who usually handled the activities on Zhao Xiaoshuai's account, so he naturally knew how many unspent Jade were lying in Zhao Xiaoshuai's account.

Just looking at that long string of numbers felt great; he couldn't imagine how satisfying it would be to spend it.

Suddenly, someone he had marked as a special contact on Weixun left him a message, which made him perk up.

Xiaoyan Muyu: "What is the situation with Only Recharging a Billion Points a Day, do you know?"

Seeing that her brother had unexpectedly made progress, Xing Huiqiong developed a tiny bit of interest in this small game she had previously looked down upon.

She also developed some curiosity about the person who single-handedly facilitated her brother's growth.

So today, she took a moment to log into the game, wanting to see how he would respond to her brother's latest offensive.

However, to her disappointment, this person had made no response whatsoever; there was no movement at all.

She remembered that this person's account seemed to be managed by someone in the guild usually, which led to her previous inquiry.

As one of the only two people in the guild to have been added as a friend by the guild leader, Yi Jian Heng Jiang felt very proud inside.

Although his permissions were set to "Chat Only," he was still very proud.

He was good at socializing; he had added most of the players in the guild as friends, and he had asked around indirectly in private.

Except for the taciturn rich big shot Only Recharging a Billion Points a Day, no one else should have the guild leader on their friends list.

"The goddess added me, which means I am special. If I work a bit harder, maybe we can become friends."

"And then if I work even harder, maybe we can even meet in real life!"

Therefore, facing the question from the goddess guild leader, the promise he made to the big shot only delayed his thinking for one second.

He spilled everything about the big shot like beans pouring from a bamboo tube.

"Don't worry, Guild Leader, the big shot has already topped up the money. I've checked, he has nearly three million Jade on his account!"

"The big shot has hidden his VIP level; he is already at the highest, VIP16!"

"Although I don't know how much those three big shots from the other guild have topped up, I've been playing this game for quite a while, and there aren't many V16s in total."

"The big shot must be up to something, wanting to give them a surprise at the end, just like last time."

Having received the information she wanted, Xing Huiqiong replied with a faint "Got it" and closed the chat box.

She usually only replied with a single "Mm," but this time she typed two extra words, showing that she was very satisfied with the little simp's information and was expressing her commendation.

Thinking of her brother's happy face this morning, she smiled slightly; unfortunately, no one could see this beautiful scene at this moment.

She would not tell her brother about this in advance; she wanted him to be hit hard one more time.

If one or two hundred thousand could buy the result of her brother's growth, she believed it was well worth it.

"I wonder how much more you will grow this time?"

"There is always someone better, and there is always a heaven above heaven. Our Xing Family is merely a newly risen wealthy family in a second-tier city."

"And in recent years..."

"I don't know if I can hold on until the day you grow up."

"When will you be able to take over for me? I also want to let go of everything and go see the outside world properly..."
