218: Chapter 218 Players Cause Trouble? Dragon Realm Marriage Craze

The Dragon Domain celebration had not yet ended.

In the Wanlong City square, fireworks went off round after round; in the mines, people in the queue were still calling out numbers; and the dungeon entrance was even more packed, with not a single gap to be found.

The players, having just enjoyed the drop rate buffs, stamina boosts, and red envelope rains, were starting to get restless again.

Suddenly, a post popped up on the world channel.

[Player 'Sweet and Sour Little Sword Immortal': The Dragon Domain is so prestigious, can we open up Dragon Domain marriages? I want to hold a wedding in Wanlong City!]

In the next second, the comment section exploded.

"Holy crap, this works!"

"A Dragon Race wedding—just thinking about it is cool!"

"Are there buffs for getting married? If there's no buff, I'm not doing it!"

"I beg Lord Lin Chen to arrange it! My partner is already prepared!"

"Where do I pick up a partner? Urgent!"

In just a few minutes, the complaint channels were flooded with related petitions.

On a small earthen slope in Luofeng Village.

Lin Chen sat in a small rattan chair, with a large screen of player suggestions suspended before him.

Lin Yueyao came over to look while holding Xiao Jin. Xiao Jin's tail wagged back and forth as he let out a milky "Awoo."

Lin Yueyao blinked: "Brother, do they want to get married?"

Lin Chen took a bite of a Spirit Honey Cake and seriously looked over the backend data for a few moments.

Player couple binding applications: skyrocketing.

Dragon Domain wedding venue searches: skyrocketing.

Two-person mount keywords: skyrocketing.

His small face tensed up, and he said in a milky voice, "I can do that."

"The celebration is in full swing; it's the perfect time to add a new gameplay feature."

Snap!

Lin Chen tapped with his small hand.

A server-wide announcement boomed out.

[Server Announcement: The Dragon Domain Exclusive Player Marriage function is officially live!]

[After both players reach the required Favorability, they may proceed to the Wanlong City Wedding Registry to register their marriage!]

[Players can choose from three tiers: Ordinary Wedding, Dragon Etiquette Wedding, and Server-wide Broadcast Wedding!]

[After a successful marriage, both spouses will receive the Dragon Race exclusive status: Dragon and Phoenix Bring Prosperity!]

[Dragon and Phoenix Bring Prosperity Effect: While in a party as a couple, all attributes +5%, drop rate +10%!]

[Married players will receive Exclusive Dragon Wedding Outfits ×2 and a Two-person Mount 'red gold dragon phoenix' ×1!]

The announcement faded.

The entire server went silent for a second.

Then it completely blew up!

"All attributes +5%? Drop rate +10%?"

"Grinding monsters in a couple's party is going to be insane!"

"Two-person mount! Dragon outfits! Who can resist this?"

"A partner! I need a partner right now!"

"Any female Priests want to get married? I'm a Warrior, can tank and dps, I'll pay the dowry!"

"Male Mage looking for a wife, just to grind dungeons together, no nonsense!"

A scarlet-gold registration hall instantly appeared in the Wanlong City square.

Above the hall hung the projections of two circling small dragons, and a Dragon Clan Protocol Officer stood at the door holding a marriage contract scroll.

The first batch of players practically charged inside.

A couple stood hand-in-hand before the light screen.

[Detecting Favorability: Requirement met]

[Register Dragon Domain Marriage Contract?]

"Yes!"

The two clicked at the same time.

Buzz—

Scarlet-gold dragon patterns descended, transforming into a Dragon Domain Marriage Certificate.

The IDs of both players were written on it, with fine dragon scale patterns along the edges.

In the next second, festive red and gold light glowed on both of them simultaneously.

[You have obtained Dragon Wedding Outfits]

[You have obtained Status: Dragon and Phoenix Bring Prosperity]

[When partying with your partner, all attributes +5%, drop rate +10%]

[You have obtained Two-person Mount: red gold dragon phoenix]

Boom!

A two-person mount with a scarlet-gold body and dragon-patterned wings appeared in the square.

The two players mounted it and flew a lap around the square, trailing long golden light behind them.

The surrounding players were stunned.

"That's freaking cool!"

"This mount is just too prestigious!"

"Let's get married! Right now!"

The queue outside the registration hall instantly stretched for hundreds of meters.

Ten minutes later, it reached outside the square.

Half an hour later, it reached the vicinity of the teleportation array.

The Dragon Clan Protocol Officer was so busy his voice went hoarse.

"Next pair!"

"Those with insufficient Favorability, go do couple's quests first!"

"No cutting in line! Cutting will result in a one-day suspension of registration eligibility!"

Player administrators were also temporarily deployed to maintain order.

The Buzzcut Warrior held up a rules screen and shouted: "Queue for marriage! Don't push! If anyone dares to scalp wedding venues, they'll be banned immediately!"

Ye Xiaoying even posted new regulations directly.

[Dragon Domain Wedding Order Rules: Scalping wedding slots is prohibited, fraudulent marriages for gifts are prohibited, and malicious favorability farming for scams is prohibited.]

[Violators will have their marriage system permissions frozen; serious cases will be reported to Lin Chen for permanent punishment.]

With this, the players felt even more at ease.

That day, the number of registrations soared.

[Currently Registered Married Players: 10,000 couples]

[Currently Registered Married Players: 80,000 couples]

[Currently Registered Married Players: 230,000 couples]

By nightfall, the numbers had broken past several hundred thousand couples.

The wedding venue situation was even more exaggerated.

The main wedding stage in Wanlong City was booked up for three months.

Weddings by the Dragon Crystal Lakeside were booked for two months.

Even the Victory Square weddings in Black Wind Valley were fully booked.

The world channel completely turned into a place to show off marriages.

"Got the certificate! Thank you, Lord Lin Chen!"

[Screenshot: red gold dragon phoenix Two-person Mount]

"Took my wife for a flight, it was awesome!"

[Screenshot: Dragon Wedding Outfits]

"Can I wear these clothes every day? They're too cool!"

What was even more ridiculous was a wealthy player with the ID [Young Master Jinshan] who chose a server-wide broadcast wedding.

The wedding venue was set in the center of Wanlong City square.

Presided over by a Dragon Clan Protocol Officer.

With a player band performing.

A red gold dragon phoenix pulled a flower carriage around the city three times.

Young Master Jinshan threw out hundreds of thousands of maple coins on the spot, triggering a server-wide red envelope rain.

[Server-wide Red Envelope: Congratulations to Young Master Jinshan and Moonlight Milk Tea on their union!]

[Total Red Envelope Amount: 300,000 maple coins]

"Holy crap! The rich guy is giving out red envelopes for his wedding!"

"Grab them!"

"I got 88 maple coins!"

"I got 520 maple coins! Wishing the newlyweds a long life together!"

The number of people in the live stream room skyrocketed, and the bullet chat was filled with blessings and envy.

Single players couldn't sit still either.

The world channel instantly turned into a friend-finding channel.

"Male Warrior, level 49, full purple gear, looking for a permanent partner to grind Dragon Domain dungeons!"

"Female Priest, stable skills, won't drag the team down, looking for someone to marry for the buff!"

"lifestyle player looking for a buddy, I can mine and cook!"

"Is anyone down to do couple's quests to farm favorability first? We can grind drop rates together after marriage!"

The couple's quest board in Wanlong City was also swamped.

Escorting Dragon Race hatchlings.

Two-person gathering of Dragon Crystal Flowers.

Couple's trial dungeons.

All quests related to favorability were being snatched up by players.

In the official backend, Zhou Ming looked at the data curves and felt completely numb.

"How much has social activity increased?"

The technician's voice trembled: "It's quintupled!"

"Dragon Domain stay time has skyrocketed, couple's dungeon entries have skyrocketed, and sales for outfit dyes, mount decorations, and wedding fireworks are all rising!"

Zhou Ming sucked in a cold breath.

"Lord Lin Chen just casually added a marriage system and blew up the activity levels again."

High above Wanlong City.

Lin Zhe watched the pairs of players flying by on red gold dragon phoenixs with a calm expression.

Ao Ningshuang was resting in the Dragon Emperor Palace to care for her pregnancy, yet the Dragon Domain was even livelier than during the celebration.

Qing Yu said softly, "Sir, the online time of Dragon Domain players has risen again today, and wedding-related income has automatically entered the public account."

Lin Zhe nodded slightly.

"According to the rules, one portion will subsidize newcomer quests, and another will go into the Public Warehouse."

"Don't let the gameplay turn into a money-grabbing scheme."

Qing Yu immediately bowed her head: "Yes."

Below, fireworks exploded once more.

The world channel was still filled with screenshots of marriage certificates and two-person mounts.

The popularity of the Dragon Domain did not decrease because the celebration had ended.

Instead, it was pushed even higher by this marriage craze.
