Chapter 630 - A Famous Scene Recreated (2/2)
“Player Roland unsealed the Realm of Devils portal and successfully triggered the server’s established event. The expansion ‘Realm of Devils Expedition’ is officially online, and the reputation store is officially open. After half an hour, players can see the goods in the reputation store.
“For the content related to ‘Realm of Fiends Expedition’, no official information will be revealed. Players are invited to explore the detailed contents by themselves.
“Roland has obtained the title of ‘Advanced Falan Pathfinder,’ health cap increased by 10 points and magic cap by 25 points.”
This system message was seen by all the players, including the Cornucopia members in the party.
Roland was speechless.
The players of Cornucopia were even more speechless.
Especially Charles who was still in Delpon.
He had only meant for Roland to do the heavy lifting and boost his guild members.
As a result, the little scheme was discovered, not to mention that now the follow-up of this quest was so important. This kind of quest was also known as the unlocking quest. If it was completed by someone from their guild, then it was bound to give them a lot of face, and it would be easier to recruit powerful players in the future.
Now all of it was credited to Roland.
It was a typical example of suffering a double loss after trying to trick the enemy.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He couldn’t help but fiercely slam the glass of wine he was holding onto the table.
“Damn it. I never win when I go against Roland.”
The wine glass shattered into several pieces. Douglas, long accustomed to Charles’ angry nature and style, took a sip of fruit wine and said, “It is our fortune to come from a good background. The appearance of virtual games is Roland’s fortune. It’s not something we should envy.”
“I’m just not convinced.” Charles covered his face in dismay. “I have used all my efforts, even endured humiliation, but still this is the result. The heavens are too unfair.”
“It is indeed very unfair. You are born to the second-generation rich, while many people are born into poor families, not to mention that they might have a congenital disability. Who do they look to for a reason!”
Charles stood up. “I’m not talking to you about it. I feel like you’ve been poisoned by Roland. Is it interesting to suck up to an employee when you’re a superior person?” “It’s interesting!” Douglas was completely unmoved.
Charles shook his head and walked away. At the same time, after Roland read the system message, he temporarily gave up the intention of collapsing the dragon’s lair.
After all, judging by the name of the expansion, it seemed that this magic gate was going to be used.
Best to leave it for now.
He took Andonara’s hand, and after leaving the cave, he left the people of Cornucopia behind and teleported back to Delpon.
Once he returned to the city, he saw Charles waiting in front of his manor.
When Charles saw Roland, he welcomed him and said, “Almighty, I have some things I want to talk to you about.”
“Then let’s talk.” Roland was also fine with it.
The two sat down, and Andonara personally went to the kitchen and made a blend of fruit wine and set it in front of the two.
Charles took a sip of fruit wine and said, “Mr. Roland, in a moment I will have the payment for the Dragon Meat Reagent sent over. Now, let’s talk about other things. For example, what do you know about this Realm of Devils Expedition?”
“Not much.” Roland shook his head. “But from the name, it should be the game content of us players’ expedition to the Realm of Devils.”
“But it could also be the Realm of Devils’ campaign on us!” Doing business was to know how to “smile,” but at this time Charles wasn’t in the mood to do so. “No matter what it is, we need a lot of resources and battle power. Battle power, you have it, Almighty, but I’m sure you don’t have that many resources. This is my guild’s area of expertise, so I think we should cooperate and complement each other’s strengths and make up for each other’s weaknesses.
Indeed.
Roland was powerful in his own right, and roping in Roland was the equivalent of having Queen Andonara, a superb fighter.
Also, he might be able to rope in the other F6 members to help out.
Especially Schuck; one person and one dragon could go against a whole guild. Which guild with a little ambition wouldn’t want to recruit Roland and Schuck!
“Sorry, F6 doesn’t align itself with anyone.”
“Then it’s always okay to help each other out.” Charles offered a smile with difficulty. “I think this expansion, for sure, is focused on group activities.”
“But we F6 are also a group.”
Charles felt annoyed at how unmoved this man was by force and persuasion. “Well, what kind of conditions do you need before you will help us? Please feel free to say. As long as it’s not too exaggerated, I can promise you anything.” “None, thanks.” Still, in a flat tone of voice, he declined.
Charles stood up in exasperation, and without any words of social etiquette, stormed off. In reality, not only Charles but almost all the guilds were trying to find a way to contact Roland and Schuck.
There weren’t many fools among the players. The term Realm of Devils Expedition was a big event at first glance and dealing with a big event naturally required the strength of a team.
In any team, a leader was required.
And there was a lot of discussion about Roland in the forums at this time.
“Damn, it’s Roland again, annoying as hell.”
“There’s nothing you can do about it. He’s just that skilled.”
“Skilled my a**, it’s just dumb luck. I heard that the credit should have gone to Cornucopia.”
“Tsk, Cornucopia can break the seal? They don’t have a single high-level Mage, do they?” “Don’t expose them. You’ll lose Cornucopia as a friend if you cut them to the quick so much.”
“The reputation store’s loaded. There’s so much equipment.”
“I also saw that there are many recipes, all of them top-notch, but they require so much reputation, and it’s unclear how reputation can be acquired effectively right now.”
“Just wait until Roland figures it out, right?”
“Always relying on others, you don’t have hands of your own!”
“I just like to be a freeloader, you got a problem with that?”
Roland exited the game after the routine server downtime, browsed the forums for a while, and was about to go over to the Yu family ancestral shrine to meditate and absorb energy when Schuck called him and asked him to meet at the cold drink bar for an urgent matter.
He immediately pedaled a public bike and rushed to the cold drink bar. He had thought Schuck called him over to discuss the Realm of Devils Expedition. It turned out that Schuck mysteriously grinned and pulled out a package, which he then unwrapped in front of their friends.
Seeing how smug he was, Roland thought it was some kind of electronic accessory or something, like a graphics card ending in 90 or whatever.
It turned out to be a figurine.
And it was a figurine of the scene when Roland was beaten into the walls.
The famous scene was recreated.
It was the last official poll where players were allowed to decide which figurine they wanted to be made.
As soon as the figurine was brought out, Roland’s face turned green. Then his friends laughed so hard that they couldn’t keep their backs straight. It didn’t help that this thing was quite well made.
Roland’s expressions and movements were recreated with great realism.
After a moment of gloom, Roland could only accept that the figurines had been made—what else could he do?
After laughing for so long that his abs hurt, Schuck wiped his tears and stammered, “Do you know how many copies of this thing sold?”
“How many?”
“When I bought it, the official website marked that over four million copies had been sold, and that was three days ago. Now it’s estimated to have broken six million.” Schuck wanted to laugh again. “It’s estimated that eventually, it will break ten million.”
He didn’t think that a figurine of his friend would be so popular.
There were only five hundred thousand players in the entire game, so what was with these extra millions of buyers?
Did they have a problem?
Roland, who had managed to calm down, became gloomy again, so he had to change the subject. “Let’s talk about the Realm of Devils Expedition.”
