As soon as the loudspeaker's voice rang out, all the players in the amusement park were stunned. What the hell was this?!
Actually, 20 minutes ago, everyone had heard a unified system announcement.
[Congratulations to Invincible Black Whirlwind of Region 88 for successfully clearing the instance!]
At that time, no one thought much of it. After all, it was the top player on the global server leaderboard; successfully clearing a small instance in first place was perfectly normal.
However, they completely underestimated the true value of the global number one! Even after leaving, they left behind benefits for the players of their own region!
This kind of envy was impossible to overcome. They might as well just change regions and move to 88666!
While everyone from the other regions was still confused and at a loss, the kids from Region 88 had already started charging forward!
"Me, me, me! Boss, I'm from Sub-region 665 of Region 88, and I've even paid tribute to Sub-region 666 before! Here, these are my 88 gold coins."
Qi Xu always delivered after taking the money. Holding a fairy wand, she drew a circle in the air, and the soul child immediately materialized.
"Alright, just follow it."
This player instantly acted like a celebrity stepping out in public. Under everyone's envious gazes, he held his head high and strode forward, so proud he was practically thumping his chest.
A few more players from Region 88 arrived one after another. Anyone with enough gold coins lined up behind the NPC Qiqi.
Those without enough gold coins went off to find ways to earn more.
Funny enough, Qi Xu hadn't visited a single legitimate gold-farming spot in this instance. Almost all the gold coins in her hands had been acquired through bluffing and scamming.
On the way, Qi Xu also ran into that hardcore supporter of the princess, Brain Spins Faster Than a Fan.
She simply waved her princess wand and let him join the queue as well.
The kid had just scraped together 90 gold coins and didn't expect to stumble upon such a good deal.
He was so excited that he howled the whole way, even blurting out silly remarks like, "Believe in the princess, gain eternal life"...
Qi Xu really wanted to kick him out of the line. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, she turned around and said, "Silence."
"Hahaha, yes, Your Highness!"
Qi Xu had a headache.
After bringing everyone to the entrance of the haunted house, Qi Xu went in first to instruct (threaten) the little ghost and the female ghost: they were not allowed to scare the players and had to try their best to act scared by them...
The little ghost and the female ghost were completely numb. What else could they do but agree?
The phantom monster in charge of the haunted house had already become her monster, and the child's soul body had also become her ghost... A smart ghost submits to circumstances.
The soul child was super responsible and even provided package services. After successfully passing the haunted house test, it directly led the players to find that family of three.
As soon as they met, it instantly shattered them into pixels, maximizing efficiency.
There were already several orders lined up behind, and the soul child was also experiencing the joy of making money!
[Congratulations to Nameless Ahoge of Region 88 for successfully clearing the instance!]
Many players who were originally just watching from the sidelines saw that the first person to bite the bullet and pay the game coins had successfully cleared the instance. They immediately sprinted to join the queue.
The NPC Qiqi controlled the crowd, "Attention, all players. Currently, only Region 88 players are allowed to purchase the guaranteed-clear service. This is a benefit secured for our region's players by Invincible Black Whirlwind, the number one player of Region 88. Players from other regions, please find your own way to solve the instance's mysteries!"
[Congratulations to World Window of Region 88 for successfully clearing the instance!]
[Congratulations to Crane Cries in Clear River of Region 88 for successfully clearing the instance!]
.....
In less than half an hour, seven or eight players from Region 88 successfully cleared the instance one after another. The players from other regions were getting antsy.
Old acquaintances hurried over as well.
When Qi Xu saw Shadow Kill and Endless Longevity, she even took the initiative to wave her magic wand and say hello, completely unconcerned that these two might expose her.
They all had business to discuss. She believed they could weigh the pros and cons and distinguish what was more important.
Besides, this instance was a region-versus-region competition with no individual rankings. There was no need to tear up face and offend the current strongest player in the China server.
They had originally been on the verge of successfully cracking the mysteries of this instance, but after this disruption, they completely lost the mood to keep playing.
Still, they found a chance to squeeze over together and ask, "Um... if we pay extra game coins, can we join the queue too?"
People from other regions followed suit and asked, "Yeah, I'm willing to pay extra game coins!"
"Please wait a moment. Let me communicate with Invincible Black Whirlwind."
The NPC Qiqi performed a set of highly complex hand seals before smiling and replying, "Yes, you can, but each person must individually transfer 200 energy stones to her after leaving the instance. If you can't do that, don't line up. Otherwise, you won't be able to register for any future instances, and even if you do, eternal bad luck will follow you."
Shadow Kill and Endless Longevity's mouths twitched several times. They couldn't believe no one saw through such a simple lie...
But... really, no one did.
Everyone scrambled to get in line.
Her Highness the Princess had said she would only stay here for one day. If they hadn't successfully left the instance by nightfall, she wouldn't care anymore.
Therefore, the queuing players were exceptionally orderly. The entire instance had been completely broken by Qi Xu. Nobody went to play on the amusement rides; they all came over to hand in gold coins and wait to leave.
Mainly, there was no other way around it. The only main character NPC, the soul child, was now working for Qi Xu and had almost zero free time...
Qi Xu stayed from morning till night. Once she confirmed that all the players from Region 88 had left, she also exited the instance directly.
Youyou and Lingling would come looking for her after everything completely disbanded.
As soon as she returned to her vehicle, Qiuqiu's shout of "Boss is awesome!" almost pierced Qi Xu's eardrums...
Her fists instantly clenched.
Fortunately, Qiuqiu was observant and immediately lowered its voice. "Hahahahaha, Boss, the number of players from our Region 88 who successfully left the instance is miles ahead!"
Qi Xu asked a slightly more subtle question.
"Who was the first to leave the instance?"
"Your strategist. She successfully got out on the morning of the first day."
Qi Xu sucked in a sharp breath.
As expected of Bian. In the realm of using one's brain, she was practically invincible.
"But you're super amazing too, Boss. Not only did you get out yourself, but you also brought the players from our Region 88 out with you."
"Just basic operations."
Seeing that players from other regions were gradually starting to transfer energy stones to her, Qi Xu finally couldn't suppress the corners of her mouth from rising...
However, she didn't forget the few players she had scammed a bit too harshly.
She specifically contacted Dark Night Fanatic. If she remembered correctly, he could make cross-region deliveries.
She wrote down the regions and nicknames of these unfortunate players and asked him to send each of them 500 survival coins...
Scam when you must, compensate when you should! After all, they were all believers of the princesses, so she wouldn't scam them for nothing!
