Online Games: Billions Spent on In-app Purchases, Archery Becomes a God

The purpose of the banquet is to celebrate the magnificent landscape.At the banquet.

Brocade of Mountains and Rivers, Falling Nine Heavens, Divine Diaochan, Goddess Daji, God of War, God of Battle, Emperor Rules the World, In the Name of the Sword, Robin, Golden Dragon King, and other guild leaders sat at one table.

Except for Goddess Palace,

all other guilds were represented by their number one figures!

The guilds they controlled were among the best and most renowned in Xia Kingdom, with no imposters among them.

Therefore, the value of this table was arguably the highest in the entire venue.

The table was also placed in the center of the third floor,

the most important spot in the entire Purple Pearl Pavilion.

Roasted suckling pig, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Eight-Treasure Fortune, Boiled Cabbage in Clear Broth... all the famous dishes one could name were arrayed on the table, not to mention.

Each person also had a glass of fine wine beside them.

Fine wine and delicious food.

Handsome men and beautiful women gathered at one table.

Brocade of Mountains and Rivers was the first to raise his glass, looking around and saying loudly to everyone:

”You are all pillars of Xia Kingdom, and your contributions in this city defense battle were outstanding, which is why we achieved a great victory in the first war! On behalf of the officials, I toast you all!”

”Gulp~”

Brocade of Mountains and Rivers drained his glass in one go, incredibly forthright.

The others chimed in:

”General, you’re too kind!”

”We’ll drink too!”

...”Hahahaha (^o^)/~ Don’t just drink, eat!”

”The delicious dishes at Purple Pearl Pavilion are famous far and wide!”

”This meal was well worth it!”

”Everyone, please eat!”

...The people at the table laughed and chatted, raising and clinking glasses, drinking and eating, while exchanging pleasantries with those around them, enjoying themselves thoroughly.

Not long after the banquet began,

during the next round of toasts,

Brocade of Mountains and Rivers suddenly mentioned: ”Everyone present here is a prominent figure and spiritual representative among Xia Kingdom’s players.”

”In the future, you are essentially destined to become leaders of the collective players! Thus, you will control more than half of Xia Kingdom’s player power.”

”To be frank with everyone, I entered this game with the mission to protect the people of Xia Kingdom!”

”As everyone knows, after the mysterious Dark Star kills players multiple times, there’s a chance they can kill humans in reality!”

”This is something the highest authorities absolutely cannot tolerate or accept!”

”For some reasons, this game has not yet been completely shut down.”

”Therefore, on behalf of the official organization, I formally ask for your help here!”

”Let’s work together to protect the lives of our Xia Kingdom players!”

”Let’s unite and cooperate to resist the Dark Star’s invasion in the future!”

”Can I count on all of you?”

...”No problem!”

”Defending the borders of Xia Kingdom is our inescapable duty!”

Everyone strongly agreed,

raising their glasses to Brocade of Mountains and Rivers to express their desire for cooperation.

Brocade of Mountains and Rivers laughed heartily: ”Hahahaha! Good! I knew everyone here is a hero of Xia Kingdom, with the Great Xia in your hearts! Come! Let’s drink another!”

The banquet was in full swing.

Everyone now understood the true purpose of Brocade of Mountains and Rivers hosting this banquet.

It was to unite all the guild forces of Xia Kingdom.

To facilitate dealing with the Dark Star’s invasion next time.

After all,

the spatial rift connecting the Dark Star and Xia Kingdom was still there.

No one could guarantee

that they wouldn’t encounter Dark Star Creatures again in the future.

It must be said,

Brocade of Mountains and Rivers’ move was very clever!

Taking advantage of the victory in the first war,

he directly brought all the main forces together.

This way,

it would be even easier for him to organize everyone next time!

This method of winning people’s hearts,

one could only say he was worthy of being the representative chosen by the officials... After this main matter was concluded,

the people at the table became more relaxed,

focusing on eating, drinking, and chatting.

The constant ”clink, clink” of glasses echoed throughout the banquet.

Everyone interacted, drawing closer to each other.

Divine Diaochan had just clinked glasses with Ye Xingyu.

A faint blush couldn’t help but appear on her delicate face.

Ye Xingyu smiled.

Diaochan’s alcohol tolerance didn’t seem to be very good.

As she picked up a golden crab stick,

a sudden ”clank” sounded!

A pair of chopsticks accidentally slipped from her fingers.

And rolled onto the floor.

Divine Diaochan’s pretty face, half-tipsy, showed a slight flush.

She glanced lightly at Ye Xingyu, who was sitting next to her.

Then suddenly, she bent down and crawled onto the floor.

Under the table, covered by the large red tablecloth,

she carefully searched for the fallen chopsticks.

A second or two later,

Ye Xingyu, who had been sitting upright at the table, felt a slight surprise in his heart.

A pair of soft, small hands gently rested on his knees,

one hand on each knee.

Ye Xingyu looked down curiously.

Divine Diaochan was on the floor,

carefully searching for her chopsticks.

The chopsticks had fallen by Ye Xingyu’s foot.

Divine Diaochan unhesitatingly bent down.

Her small hand reached towards the floor... When she picked up the chopsticks and rose again,

her eyes met Ye Xingyu’s.

She smiled mysteriously at Ye Xingyu.

At that moment,

her beauty bloomed like a lotus,

so much so that even Ye Xingyu couldn’t bear to look away.

Their little private interaction was fully observed by Robin, who sat opposite them.

Robin pouted and muttered, ”Seductress!”

...About an hour and a half later,

the food and drinks had been served three times in rotation.

Everyone at the table had eaten and drunk their fill.

Brocade of Mountains and Rivers stood up again and said: ”As we discussed before, the Dark Star is powerful and mysterious, an unknown force!”

”We haven’t yet investigated how much power lies behind them!”

”Therefore, at this time, we must cooperate sincerely to make the upcoming battles go more smoothly!”

”On behalf of the officials, I propose that we form an alliance!”

”To jointly resist the enemies of the Dark Star in the future!”

”I ask everyone, are you willing?”

...”Willing!”

”I am willing!”

...Brocade of Mountains and Rivers had set the atmosphere like this.

Naturally, no one could refuse on the spot.

Thus,

an alliance between the major guilds of Xia Kingdom was officially completed!

At the suggestion of Brocade of Mountains and Rivers,

everyone at the table added each other as friends.

They agreed to discuss everything that came up in the future.

And if they encountered an invasion from the Dark Star,

they were to unite and cooperate immediately!

To completely eliminate the Dark Star enemies.

Looking at the harmonious and unified scene before him,

Brocade of Mountains and Rivers couldn’t help but smile happily.

Tonight’s goal was achieved!

Goddess Daji proactively walked over and clinked glasses with Ye Xingyu.

With a hint of triumph on her face, she said:

”Fallen God, it’s only been a few days since you refused to ally with Goddess Palace.”

”Today, we successfully completed our cooperation.”

”You probably didn’t expect this day, did you? Hehehe~”

Goddess Daji covered her mouth and chuckled triumphantly.

Ye Xingyu showed a hint of helplessness.

His expression towards Goddess Daji was slightly complex.

This woman.

In her previous life, she would stop at nothing for status.

But he hadn’t expected

that the trajectory of this life had changed so much,

that she hadn’t shown the slightest flaw until now.

Nor could he detect any malicious intentions.

”She’s very dangerous, this woman.”

Ye Xingyu shook his head.

Temporarily burying his opinion of her deep in his heart.

He remained extra vigilant.
