Seizing the BOSS Template at the Start

Chapter 65: Chapter 63: Forum

Can changing the world’s course make players arrive early?

Or is it some sort of butterfly effect?

Baiyi’s eyes were full of contemplation, and it seemed like he could access the forum himself?

He focused on the forum, instantly a gray page appeared, and then Baiyi was taken aback.

”Damn!”

”Damn!”

”Damn!”

”Da...”

A series of ”damns” scrolled through the screen, making Baiyi unsure where to start reading, but it felt very familiar—it was clearly from the players of the Great Celestial Dynasty.

Aileen looked at Diane’s back, jogged to catch up with Baiyi, and asked, ”Boss, is there any chance that after you get rich, you’ll give me a raise?”

Baiyi closed the interface, looked around at the bustling crowd, and with excitement in his heart, quickened his pace, casually replying, ”We’ll talk when you awaken your talent. Money isn’t much use to you now; a hundred Gold Coins should be enough.”

Aileen was very disappointed: ”Ah~ why is it like this, it’ll be years before I come of age, and you’re already a millionaire, yet you only give us a hundred Gold Coins as salary. People will say you’re stingy if this gets out.”

Baiyi continued to quicken his pace: ”True, then I’ll raise it.”

Aileen widened her eyes, extremely surprised, and jogged to catch up: ”Really?”

Baiyi: ”Of course, recently, there’s been a lot more Power of Destiny in the shop. Luoning’s salary is doubled!”

Aileen:....”And what about me?”

”When you awaken your talent, or advance to Bronze Upper Tier, you’ll get a raise too!”

Aileen:.... Damn it!

Back at the shop, after greeting Luoning, Baiyi went straight into the lab, thinking that with the players arriving early, this world was about to get interesting.

Aileen, feeling sullen, followed in and upon seeing Luoning, immediately felt wronged and just looked at Luoning quietly.

Luoning, who had been quietly reading, noticed her demeanor, quickly closed the book, and asked, ”Sister Aileen, what’s wrong? Who bullied you?”

Aileen couldn’t hold it in any longer, and rushed to the counter to hug little Luoning, complaining, ”The boss is a bastard for not giving me a raise.”

”Uh, a hundred Gold Coins is already a lot.” Luoning patted the Elf’s back comfortingly.

”But he said he’d double your salary, but not mine. He’s targeting me!” Aileen said indignantly, feeling extremely wronged.

Luoning was stunned and tentatively suggested, ”Uh, Sister Aileen, how about I share half with you?”

Aileen firmly shook her head: ”No need, yours is yours, I just want money from that capitalist. You have no idea how much he earned tonight.....”

-----------------

Baiyi did not want to pay attention to the complaints outside; Aileen’s talent was about to awaken. Elves have many opportunities to awaken their talent, but they usually complete it before adulthood.

The reason Aileen doesn’t cultivate much is that she’s waiting for the Elf’s talent, which is also their specialty.

Elves focus mainly on play and relaxation before adulthood, deciding on their future path during their coming-of-age ceremony.

This results in the simplicity of the Elves, which was once the pride of the Silver Race.

After all, when the Goddess of Life was around, they were called the purest race, not just because of their racial traits, but for this reason too.

Of course, Baiyi doesn’t think he’s withholding her salary for her own good; it’s mainly because teasing this Elf, whose temperament is at odds with her nature, brings Baiyi a sense of joy, and he occasionally likes to tease her, adding some fun to life.

After browsing the forum for ten minutes, Baiyi generally understood the forum’s limitations on him.

He could only look, not post.

This didn’t really matter much, as long as he could observe players’ movements. Still, being able to access this surprised Baiyi.

After all, other bosses certainly couldn’t see the forum, or even have a panel.

Because he had never seen any boss have any premonition about players’ movements.

In their eyes, this group of suddenly appearing races are a marvel of the world, impossible to destroy while constantly causing trouble.

Once he had determined the forum’s characteristics, Baiyi carefully started extracting useful information amidst the flood of damns.

[What’s up with Dawn Company? Haven’t heard of any closed beta? How many beta slots are there, and how to get them?]

This was a post from a confused player, which immediately got filled with replies.

[First floor: Hehehe, lottery on the page, 50,000 slots per server, hehehe, I won, envious?

Second floor: First floor was born.... Third floor follows.

Third floor: First floor was born... Damn, a lottery? I haven’t even entered yet... slipping away...]

Glancing casually, Baiyi appeared contemplative—only 50,000 slots per server?

That’s a bit few; Dawn Federation has 610 cities, and if in the public beta each city has a starting point, then scattered out, there are only 80 players per city?

In Dongwu City with three million residents, they’d be hard to find, right?

Continuing to browse the forum, two posts quickly caught his attention.

[Am I the only one who thinks this Baiyi is handsome?]

[Would you choose Dongwu City? That Baiyi is clearly the protagonist of Dawn Server!]

Baiyi raised an eyebrow and clicked into the first post.

He was instantly captivated by a video.

The beginning was very different from before, yet felt the same.

Because this time, the perspective was not godlike, but Old Wolf’s perspective.

The view was pure white, a badly injured wolf paw could be seen, the video was shaky, indicating staggered footsteps.

The crunching sound of stepping on snow was the only sound apart from the wind and snow, Old Wolf uneasily looked back, blood speckles stark against the whiteness.

But the blizzard quickly covered the traces, Old Wolf seemed to notice something, stared backward for about ten seconds, then turned to stagger forward with firm steps.

Crunch~

Another heavy snow-stepping sound approached, Old Wolf’s vision suddenly blurred, and a familiar voice rang out: ”Found you...”

The screen then cleared up gradually—a hooded, delicate-faced young boy with calm eyes appeared, reaching towards the screen.

Then the view zoomed out; a Worker Bee flew out, and the boy dragged Old Wolf slowly away.

As the view continued to zoom out, several shadows loomed where Old Wolf had looked earlier.

As if from an extremely distant view, the area around the boy began to distort, Scarlet and Deep Blue energies flickered.

And in the distance, from where Old Wolf looked earlier, among the vague shadows, seemed a blossoming Black Night Rose.

The screen froze, and the video ended.

[First floor: Handsome is handsome, but doesn’t fit the theme, right? Why are the other two Federation promo vids featuring boss fights? Ours features a person?

Second floor: Uh, some predict he’s the era’s protagonist, also analyzing the current situation, seems Baiyi is being targeted by shadowy flower people there, should we help him through the troubles?

Third floor: Doesn’t anyone think this is the characteristic of our Great Celestial Dynasty? When have you ever seen us use villains for promotion?

Fourth floor: Third floor makes sense, but this is a server for all countries on Divine Continent, right?

Fifth floor: Divine Land Celestial Dynasty is the best, no objections accepted!

Sixth floor: Rational patriotism, brothers.

Seventh floor: To hell with your rationality***, just this one time I’m irrational, what now? Already annoyed about not getting a slot...

Baiyi looked at the bizarre flaming comments, feeling nostalgic, sentimental, and mostly pensive.

A familiar taste, but this promo video... is the closed beta theme Black Night Rose?

That’s not logical, the Old Sword Saint still has a bit of life left...
