Chapter 358
The bigwigs calmed down and said, "You're right, 10,000 is too many. Let's make it to the top ten. Although Qingfengyi is very valuable, investing too much isn't a good idea. How far are we from our previously calculated 900% return floor?"
The subordinate who was calculating the data immediately replied, "It's currently 1300%, which includes the revenue from sharing profits outside of the game. If we only consider the game itself, it's around 200% now."
"what!"
A 200% return?
What are they busy with?!
"How did you execute the plan? How can it be 200%? What's the point of us working so hard if we can't do anything?"
Their family group's profits are all over 300%, and occasionally they can make a big deal that can reach thousands or two hundred.
Do you need nutritional supplements to get rid of this?
The subordinates were speechless. The plan was excellent, but what could they do if the Qingfengyi players wouldn't cooperate? If it dragged on any longer, they probably wouldn't even make two hundred; breaking even would be a miracle.
Another bigwig couldn't help but feel a pang of unease as he thought about the results of his numerous clashes with Qingfengyi. He was one of the financial backers behind Barbie Fashion, and he was well aware of Barbie Fashion's previous failures.
Thinking about this, he hesitated, "Do you think we'll end up losing money and not getting any benefit at all?"
This made everyone burst into laughter. "Old Song, are you kidding me? Lin Shuying is going to die. We've heard from the other side that she'll only last two months at most. Don't you understand what Qingfengyi is like? It was built entirely on Lin Shuying's design. How long could it survive without her design support? Most importantly, she's the sole owner. In any group, the backbone is the only weakness."
"Exactly, as soon as she died, we ganged up on her and skinned her alive. But these summoners are really powerful; some of their stuff is very valuable. Damn, the wealth your master created for you is almost more than all your previous accumulations, right?"
"Haha, what are you talking about? He's still a child, with a terrible temper, he needs to be spoiled. Spoiling someone is a skill, and it costs a lot of money."
"It's really expensive. I heard they've poured a lot of money into Qingfengyi and Sweetheart Planet, right?"
The bigwigs at Baiweida chuckled, saying their families wanted to keep him close, what could they do? They'd heard that the family had sent seven or eight heirs and descendants to try and create romantic opportunities for him, all in an effort to make him one of their own. But he remained unmoved, treating everyone equally…
"If you ask me, Sweetheart Planet should be divided up too."
"Sweetheart Planet is a bit strange. We've sent people there to investigate several times before, but they either disappeared or returned empty-handed and didn't remember anything. They're a bit more difficult to deal with than Qingfengyi, so we need to be careful."
"Alright, Sweetheart Planet belongs to the Wu family. Don't get any ideas you shouldn't have."
"Oh dear, you call yourself a member of the Wu family? Do you think they even consider you a member of the Wu family? I heard your family has quite a grudge against them."
……
"Can you guys be serious?! We're going to lose money!"
amount……
Players darted around in the gentle breeze, quickly suppressing the group. Then, to everyone's surprise, their merit points increased!
Checking the system records, the reason for the increase in merit is—saving the world?
After the auction house prices stabilized and everyone's original combat or non-combat player attributes were restored, the system sent a message:
"Dear players, thank you for saving the world and maintaining peace. The Five Divine Beasts will come to the main city to express their gratitude and sincerely invite you to celebrate this great victory. Harmony brings prosperity for generations, and kindness protects every family. When everyone is happy to give, universal harmony brings far-reaching blessings. Dear players, let us work together to make Qingfengyi a paradise, a place of joy for everyone!"
The players, surprised by the rewards, excitedly rushed towards the main city. Once all the players had arrived, the sky slowly turned pinkish-blue, and auspicious multicolored clouds gathered around the sun. The sun set high behind the main city, and the players stood densely packed in the plaza, while some flew through the air.
A dragon's roar soared into the sky, and a magnificent yellow dragon flew in from afar, its enormous form blotting out the sun. After arriving at the main city, it shrank slightly and floated to the side. "The Yellow Dragon of the Central Position returns to its place! Thick earth forms the square, protecting peace and suppressing the marshes. As long as the dragon is here, the position is here. We fear no death!"
Then another dragon roared, and a dark blue dragon flew in from the auspicious clouds, saying in a deep voice: "The Azure Dragon of the East returns to its place! The red sun rises in the east, bringing auspiciousness and life. As long as the dragon lives, it lives; even if its soul perishes, its existence will not change!"
The White Tiger arrives as a cloud, its mane gleaming in the sunlight. Its roar shatters countless clouds, "White Tiger of the West, return to your position! Martial prowess and the song of conquest, abundant chestnuts and cold conceal, White Tiger suppresses evil, the battle reaches its victorious moment!"
"The Vermilion Bird of the South has returned to its position! With swift and powerful fire, even withered trees can be revived; the Minister of Punishment will hold supreme power and firmly defend this region!"
"The Black Tortoise of the North has returned to its rightful place! It guards the land, making it difficult for a thousand armies to advance. With the god present, the city stands, and the fortress is impregnable!"
Roars echoed across the heavens and the earth, one after another, their power immense, like shields piercing the land of Qingfengyi. Five divine beasts soared in the air, majestic and imposing, their divine might radiating.
The players stared in disbelief as the divine beast roared and stood still, its fierce winds ruffling the players' long hair, wigs, short hair, and hems of their clothes.
The Five Divine Beasts are a hidden Easter egg in Qingfengyi. I'd only seen them from afar before, never up close and so clearly. Now that I can see them so clearly, some daring players can't resist flying up to touch them.
"My mech marshal, how majestic and awe-inspiring!"
"That's exactly what I want to be like, so cool!"
"Ahhh, when can I have you all? Waaaaah! Just give me one, and I'll do anything you ask. I'd even donate my entire fortune to Qingfengyi!"
……
At this moment, Chang'e arrived riding a rabbit. She first bowed respectfully and said, "Chang'e greets the five divine beings."
After exchanging greetings, the deity addressed the players: "The beauty of this world requires everyone's joint efforts to maintain, and so does the existence of Qingfengyi. This is our shared world! Thank you all very much for protecting Qingfengyi. The guardian deities of the five directions will reward you. Players who choose a deity to follow will receive a bonus to the five elements associated with that direction. This bonus can be used by both white-named and gray-named players when protecting the world of Qingfengyi. Gray-named players can also use it at other times. Additionally, players will receive seasonal fortune bonuses. For example, the power of spring makes it easier to find seeds and ensures successful planting. The power of summer helps with water conservation and makes firepower more powerful. The power of autumn brings a bountiful harvest, and so on. However, once chosen, the choice cannot be changed, so please consider carefully before making your decision. The five deities are always here; you can take your time to think it over."
Two or three seconds after Chang'e finished speaking, the player snapped out of their reverie of the mythical beasts and beauties and looked at the system panel. The system prompt read: "Please select the deity to follow: Yellow Dragon belongs to the center and is associated with Earth; Azure Dragon belongs to Wood and governs Spring; White Tiger belongs to Metal and governs Autumn; Vermilion Bird belongs to Fire and governs Summer; Black Tortoise belongs to Water and governs Winter. A friendly reminder: Once selected, the choice cannot be changed. Please consider carefully."
