Chapter 216: Chapter 217: Phone Call

At that moment, Chu You heard the sound of coins going into his backpack.

System: Your steward, Cui Nuanjun, has earned you 140,000 Gold Coins in the marketplace.

See? The gold that players earn from sales in the marketplace, the Hero NPCs picked up and the money automatically goes into the player’s backpack – super convenient.

He was clear that the majority of these 140,000 Gold Coins were accumulated transaction fees. Although it was just 140,000, in the early stage of the game, this was a considerable trading volume! It indicated a significant acceptance from many players.

Chu You left the core building and walked straight to the stables. He was going to buy a few mounts for Warm Monarch.

Warm Monarch’s space backpack had 50 slots, which was much bigger than the player’s initial backpack.

"Old Kill, have you sent the assassins?" As Chu You walked, he voiced a message to Killing Commander. In their earlier discussion, Chu You had asked Killing Commander to spread the assassin team he had formed to wait in ambush at various fracture sites. As soon as anything happened, they would report immediately.

Especially the areas transmitted through the battle square, those were the areas under key surveillance.

"Boss, according to the coordinates you gave, I have sent them. I believe they will report back as soon as there’s any anomaly," Killing Commander replied.

"Hmm, my only concern now is that they might get killed by the monsters on the way."

"Boss, they’re in two-person teams, they should be fine, they all have Invisibility Techniques."

"Invisibility Technique is worthless at the basic level, they could still be discovered by scouts." There were no high-level Invisibility Techniques in the early stages of the game, and they would be discovered as soon as they got close to high-sensitivity Experience Monsters.

"Remember, once you get to the location, hide well. Don’t just use Invisibility Technique and squat there, that’s asking for death!" Are you safe just because you’re invisible? The assassins also have anti-invisibility skills, and players can also buy the Eye of Clairvoyant from the shop, which has an anti-invisibility function against basic Invisibility Techniques.

"Okay boss, I’ll tell them to take it seriously."

There were still 6 hours left before the big battle began. Fractures opened every 4 hours, so that meant there were 2 hours left before the fractures closed. When the big battle formally commenced, the fractures would open again, opening up the possibility for players to rally their forces twice.

people for each rally, that’s 1000 people in total. This is only for a time-space fracture in some area in a certain country. In the mature stage of the previous world, some guilds even assembled a large number of players from their own guild in other countries way earlier. 500 people were transported each time, and unbelievably, 5000 people gathered when they moved out for battle in the end. When a fracture refreshed and 500 people immediately entered, the fracture would close. Then, at a specific time, the fracture would reappear at the same time as those missing fractures.

In this world, no one is likely to do this yet. The most they will likely do is gather twice. Chu You does this in order to prevent this strategy in advance. So what do the players who gather through fractures ahead of time do in this world? It’s simple, of course. They log out right there and then wait for the next batch of players to teleport over and then log in. At that time, they would get to work together! Without a temporary revive point, and without a cleric to rejuvenate after dying, you could only wait for the next fracture opening. In order to maintain the largest number of people, it was generally required that players teleport over first and then log out.

"Here, take these!" Chu You gave the three mounts he bought to Warm Monarch.

"Ah, these are mounts, thank you master!" Warm Monarch, who was still in the marketplace, accepted the gifted mounts and added: "Master, Warm Monarch noticed that your items on the marketplace take a long time to sell, and their shelf life is almost over."

The items on the marketplace have a shelf life, totaling 3 days. If they still couldn’t sell after this period, the items would automatically be taken off the shelf, not returning to the player’s backpack, but stored in the taken off space, waiting for the player to handle them.

"Hehe, there’s no other way, ah. They’ve really disappointed me, they’re all broke!" The enhancement stones and other items that he put on the marketplace, were all sold at low prices in the old world. They were hot cakes that were instantly bought out once put up, but in this world, because it is the beginning of the game, alas, everyone is poor, creating this awkward situation. Wealthy players have already won the items they wanted from the lucky draw, so they currently don’t have any needs. The players who do need these items could only feel helpless.

"Warm Monarch, here, this is 1 million Gold Coins for the event, you handle it." This is a profound lesson. Many players, when they initially get a Hero NPC and set them as steward, just leave it that way. Little do they know, Hero Stewards have the potential to earn money. They can bring super valuable items or properties for players, or they might get some secret information that players can’t explore, or other things...

Anyway, there is only good and no harm. And, it’s a way to increase the loyalty of heroes, indicating that the master player trusts them completely.

Without a doubt, Chu You trusts Warm Monarch very much.

"Master, isn’t this...too much money? I’m afraid I won’t do a good job managing it," Warm Monarch timidly said while looking at such a large sum of money.

"It doesn’t matter; consider it as pocket money. Buy some food you like to eat, don’t economize for me."

"Hehe, thank you, master!" Warm Monarch carefully received the coin bag. In her coin column, it originally showed 0, but after receiving Chu You’s coins, it showed 1 million Gold Coins! Now, Warm Monarch is a little rich lady.

"I’m giving you the two Shadow Guards, I need to go back to the main world now," Chu You said at this point.

"Ah? You’re leaving so soon?" Warm Monarch revealed a sense of reluctance, which was really touching.

However, Chu You still decisively nodded. His calm countenance revealed nothing, with a gentle smile, he directly logged out of the game.

The smiles of people like Warm Monarch are what made countless real-world gamers reluctant to leave the Celestial World. Some gamers even remain unmarried their whole life and considered their opposite sex Hero NPCs as wives or husbands in Celestial World. And those Hero NPCs, they performed their roles really well.

Chu You was not worried about Cui Nuanjun’s safety after logging out. At this stage, with two escorting Level 50 three-star elite NPCs, no player could touch her. If those short-sighted players thought that Heroes were just like ordinary NPCs and lacked flexibility, they would be completely mistaken!

Why did Chu You log out?

The Game Pod opened. Chu You stood up, immediately picked up his phone. Bao’er had called him.

She actually gave me a call!

Even though it was said so before, Chu You didn’t hold any hopes since he only met her once. Moreover, children tend to get nervous when facing adults, so Chu You was already prepared for Bao’er to stand him up tonight!

But, how late is it? He checked the time and found out that it was already 4:30 in the morning. The PvP grand battle in the game world would officially commence at 8 in the morning.

It’s so late; she still hasn’t gone to sleep? Chu You was shocked.

He looked at the call display, and found out that his phone rang only once, then stopped. This meant that as soon as Bao’er got through to him, she hung up immediately.

Hehehe, this is undoubtedly a child’s mindset!
