329: Chapter 329 A Slight Smile Can Be Deadly

Petals filled the sky, accompanied by brilliant specks of light, drifting down into Cangxing City in a magnificent display.

A single petal landed on the tip of a warrior's nose.

A golden light flashed, and a brilliant pillar of light representing a level-up suddenly shot up from his head.

"Holy crap! One petal is fifty thousand experience! This isn't raining; it's a blessing from our ancestors!"

The warrior's shout completely ignited the powder keg.

The already overcrowded streets instantly descended into a chaotic meat grinder.

Players frantically spread their arms and tilted their heads back; some even opened their mouths wide to catch the falling specks of light.

"Don't push! That big one is mine!"

"Get lost! I've been stuck at level thirty-nine for three years! I'll kill anyone who gets in my way!"

"God You! God You, you're my only true father! Make it rain harder!"

Golden lights from leveling up rose one after another, making the entire Cangxing City look like a giant strobe light ball.

Standing on high ground, Salos watched the players below fighting over a few points of experience, his eye twitching.

He turned to look at Arrow of the Moon and Oro, only to find that these two top-tier experts were also immersed in this Experience Spirit Rain.

"Rain that directly grants experience..." Salos swallowed hard, his throat dry. "How on earth did he do it?"

No one could answer.

High in the sky, the Nine-Headed Abyss Bone Dragon let out a low roar, its massive body beginning to descend.

Boom!

The bone dragon's thick skeletal claws stepped onto the bluestone pavement of the West Gate Plaza. A visible ring of black airwaves, mixed with Nether Cold Fire, violently expanded outward in a circle.

The absolute pressure of a Mythical creature arrogantly took command of the scene at that moment.

The players in the front row, who were frantically grabbing experience, didn't even have time to scream before being forcibly blown away by the airwave.

People collided with people, armor with armor, carving out an absolute vacuum zone with a radius of two hundred meters right in the middle of the packed plaza.

Not a single person dared to complain.

The pyramid-shaped floating palace slowly descended, hovering three feet above the ground.

The golden gate at the bottom of the palace slid open silently.

A red carpet condensed from pure starlight extended from within the gate, precisely rolling out to Chen You's feet.

An NPC dressed in dark-gold finery, with the highest-level badge of the Cangxing City Merchant Guild pinned to his chest, ran down the red carpet with small, quick steps.

Five meters away from Chen You, his knees went weak, and he hit the ground with a "thud," sliding forward on his knees.

Due to the momentum, he slid a full three meters on the bluestone before coming to a steady stop right in front of Chen You's boots.

"Praise the stars! Praise the great, generous, and peerless Lord Chen You!"

Three Waters, the General Manager of the Cangxing City Merchant Guild, looked up, his wrinkled face squeezed into an expression of exaggerated piety and fanaticism.

"Your wealth is deeper than the Abyss! Your radiance dims the sun and moon! This sweet rain you have bestowed will be forever engraved in the history of Cangxing City!"

"I, Three Waters, representing the entire Cangxing City Merchant Guild, offer you our highest respects!"

"Please board the carriage, my Lord! Witness this feast that will shake the ages!"

The surroundings were dead silent.

Chen You looked at Three Waters at his feet with an expressionless face.

The spectacle was indeed grand, but these lines were far too cringeworthy.

He nodded slightly, secretly linking the Nine-Headed Abyss Bone Dragon as a target for [Collapse of the Heavenly Dao].

Only then did he set off, stepping onto the starlight red carpet and walking step by step toward the floating pyramid.

Ten thousand Heavy-Armored Golems simultaneously raised their greatswords, crossing them over their chests, letting out a unified metallic roar: "Welcome, Lord!"

Eight hundred Thunder Griffins circled in the sky, igniting a display of lightning fireworks that filled the heavens.

Under the watchful eyes of the multitude, Chen You walked into the palace.

The moment the doors closed, the clamor of the outside world was completely cut off.

The interior space of the palace was much larger than it appeared from the outside, clearly utilizing space-folding technology.

The floor was covered with soft Cloud Beast Hides, and the ceiling was embedded with tens of thousands of night-luminescent pearls, simulating a brilliant starry sky.

In the center stood a massive throne carved from a single piece of ten-thousand-year-old Warm Jade.

Chen You walked to the throne, plopped down, and let out a long breath.

"I'm exhausted."

He called up the system panel and glanced at the glaring number in the top right corner.

[Health: 1/11386]

The equipment's health-locking effect was still active.

Now, everything was ready, and all that was missing was the final push.

Dying wasn't hard.

The hard part was how to die naturally and spectacularly.

He couldn't just take a sword to his own throat, could he?

That would be like a clown.

While he was thinking, the palace vibrated slightly as the Nine-Headed Abyss Bone Dragon began to walk, pulling the massive structure slowly along the main road of Cangxing City.

Chen You leaned against the throne and looked out through the crystal portholes on either side of the palace.

The players on both sides of the street had been squeezed into meat patties.

To catch a bit more of the experience rain falling from the sky, everyone was desperately stretching their heads upward, looking like a group of hungry hatchlings.

Chen You's gaze swept aimlessly across the crowd.

There was a female player.

Her race seemed to be some kind of mixed-blood Orc; she was nearly two meters tall and nearly two meters wide.

Above her head was an ID: Qiao Biluo.

She wore a set of Excellent-grade plate armor that was clearly two sizes too small.

The armor was likely designed to accentuate the figure, but on her, it had become a skin-tight suit.

The fat on her belly was squeezed into several segments by the gaps in the plate armor.

Because there were too many players around, everyone was pushing forward desperately, trying to catch more experience petals.

Qiao Biluo was sandwiched in the middle, looking extremely pained.

To avoid taking up too much space, Qiao Biluo was inhaling deeply with a flushed face.

She kept her lips tightly closed, her cheeks bulging high, and her hands pressed firmly against her stomach.

Chen You looked at her and felt that the players in this game were truly dedicated.

For the sake of some experience, this big girl was almost stopping her breath.

Chen You maintained a pose with one hand supporting his chin, his gaze meeting Qiao Biluo's in mid-air.

To show his approachability as "God You" and to thank these players for cooperating with his grand performance, Chen You's lips twitched slightly as he gave a very polite and gentle smile.

Qiao Biluo froze.

Her eyes, which were squeezed into slits by fat, instantly widened.

God You is looking at me!

God You smiled at me!

An indescribable ecstasy instantly hit her brain.

What validation!

What expectations!

She felt her heart leap, and blood rushed to her head.

She was excited.

She felt her soul had been sublimated.

Then, her tightly strung nerves snapped.

A very strange "hiccup" came from her throat, and the breath she had been holding for who knows how long was suddenly released.

"Thump!"

A very dull physical rebound sound echoed through the crowded street.

The abdominal fat that had been forced to its limit exploded with a terrifying elastic potential energy the moment it lost control.

A meat-bomb impact.

Standing directly in front of the big girl were three thin players.

These three didn't even have time to react.

They only felt an incomparable push from behind, and then, their feet left the ground.

"Aaaaaah—"

Three figures let out shrill screams as they were fired out like cannonballs, flying off in an instant.
