Building a sect from scratch.

"Alas! The Records of the Ten Continents is tainted!"

In the city lord's mansion, the Jade Emperor, who had rushed over to loot equipment and various items as soon as he logged in, said with great distress, "We've only heard about the upcoming cash shop and cosmetic items, but what's with this golden hair?! Is this some kind of unconventional style?! And it's so expensive! 999! Why doesn't it just rob people?!"

Zhao Qing, standing to the side, added expressionlessly, "The price of nine hundred is after the discount; the original price was one thousand two! Also, the exterior is even more expensive! It's one thousand eight!"

Wang Ergou then pounded his chest and stamped his feet, saying, "The problem is, not only is it not very good-looking, but it's also limited in time and quantity! Each account can only buy it once! Otherwise, if we had stocked up on more, we would definitely have made a fortune in the future!"

Zhao Qing rolled her eyes: "Wake up, you're just being a slacker, aren't you? You want to write another self-criticism, don't you?"

Upon hearing the word "self-criticism," Wang Ergou's scalp tingled, and he stamped his feet in frustration: "Hey, hey, hey! Which side are you on?!"

"Alright, enough with the chit-chat! Nietzsche and the others have called me to do a mission!" The Jade Emperor boasted smugly, "We've agreed to go to Liuzhou today to complete the mission!"

Wang Ergou had heard about this before. It was said that Nietzsche and the others had wanted to go for a long time, but probably because Liuzhou was too far from Zhongzhou, none of them had enough spiritual power to teleport. Even with all kinds of equipment that could increase spiritual power, they were still a step short! And Wu Ke, the only one with the highest level, was a physical cultivator, whose mana bar was naturally short and weak! This made everyone scratch their heads in front of the teleportation array, but they couldn't use it.

The Jade Emperor's mana bar is probably just about enough, but this guy doesn't have any quests, and there's no option for Liuzhou in the teleportation array, so there's no way he can help!

So everyone agreed to work hard to level up these few days and try it out again when the public beta starts.

Wang Ergou also wanted to go and see for himself, but he had a lot of things to do in Chang'an, plus so many new players joining the open beta and groups of people applying to join the community, he simply couldn't leave! Seeing the Jade Emperor's smug look, he couldn't help but feel a little jealous: "What are you so smug about! You won't get any of the rewards!"

"Maybe I can even snag something else from there! Hehe!"

The Jade Emperor's expression became even more arrogant. He held his head high and deliberately swayed past Wang Ergou before leaving the City Lord's Mansion.

Nietzsche and the Jade Emperor made an appointment at the teleportation array in Chang'an City because it was the largest and could transport five groups of people at the same time! More importantly, it was relatively closer to Liuzhou, which would save some mana on teleportation!
That's right, a preview was released before the open beta, and several teleportation arrays were upgraded by the official team!

Due to the increased number of players, and the fact that teleportation arrays could only be used one at a time, the game developers expanded all teleportation arrays into three-in-one arrays! That is, the entire teleportation array consists of three smaller teleportation arrays. When there are few players, the three teleportation arrays can be used individually, and when there are many players, they can be combined into one large teleportation array!
However, due to the large number of players in Chang'an City, the game announcement mentioned that a five-in-one teleportation array was specially designed! Furthermore, they are considering adding another teleportation array within Chang'an City!

Of course, the so-called additional teleportation array has not yet been seen, but the teleportation array outside the city has indeed become much larger. When the Jade Emperor arrived, Nietzsche and the others had already been teleported over and were meditating to replenish their mana in an open space in the distance.

The Jade Emperor landed on the ground, ran over in a few steps, and asked, "How is it? Does anyone have enough spiritual power to teleport this time?"

"Don't worry, there is!"

As Nietzsche spoke, he shifted his body slightly, revealing the human heart-shaped figure behind him, who was quickly being dressed up as a Christmas tree.

Renxin Huadao looked numb. He had five or six bracelets of various kinds on his arms, and several hairpins and hair flowers that were obviously for women in his head. He had three belts tied around his waist, with more than a dozen jade pendants and various ornaments hanging from them. He himself was even wearing many clothes that obviously had some special effects, three layers inside and three layers outside. He even wore two outer robes!
"I feel like I'm being tortured!"

The man, whose heart was filled with sorrow, stretched out his hands and displayed them to the crowd.

"Pfft-"

The Jade Emperor couldn't help but laugh out loud. He saw that the fingers of the two hands of the man-made being were covered with a dense array of rings, some fingers even wearing four or five! Even their thumbs had two rings hanging from them!

Nietzsche was clearly suppressing a laugh as well. She spread her hands and said, "There's nothing we can do. Hua Dao is a magic cultivator, and he has the highest basic spiritual power among us. We can only make do with him! Besides, this was bought from the public accounts of our Hua She Yi at great expense! He's the only one enjoying this treatment!"

Renxin Huadao was speechless: "Well, thank you!"

Seeing the Jade Emperor approaching, Guantangbao skipped and hopped towards the teleportation array, calling out to everyone, "Alright, alright! Huadao, come here quickly, let's try to see if we can teleport!"

At this time, most newbies were still creating their characters, and only a small number had entered the game. Even those who had entered were mostly scattered in various parts of the wilderness under the jurisdiction of the Taiyin Sect, and had not yet reached Chang'an City, so not many people were using the teleportation array.

Various accessories jingled as Renxin Huadao walked, and Nietzsche and the others puffed out their cheeks to suppress their laughter. The Jade Emperor's face was almost red from holding back laughter, but Renxin Huadao seemed to have long been used to being laughed at, with a clear look of utter despair on his face.

The group stood in the teleportation array, but nothing happened for a long time.

Huangzhucao's eyes widened: "It can't be a problem, can it? Didn't we calculate that it should be fine?"

Renxin Huadao sighed and said, "It was just a little bit short..."

"Hahahahaha..."

Unexpectedly, everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this, with Wu Ke laughing so hard he couldn't stand up straight!

The Jade Emperor was initially confused, but soon he saw that Guantangbao was holding up a very eye-catching silk peony flower, with gold ornaments on both sides. The whole headdress was just like the one in the painting "Ladies Wearing Flowers in Their Hair"—huge!
The soup dumpling excitedly tiptoed, trying to stick the peony flower onto the head of the Human Heart Transformation Daoist, and said gloatingly, "Accept your fate, Transformation Daoist, hahaha! Here, this should be enough!"

Nietzsche laughed as he explained to the Jade Emperor, "Hahaha, he absolutely refused to wear that peony hairpin before, saying it was some kind of manly dignity, but actually that hairpin adds quite a lot of mana!"

The king bamboo grass laughed and said, "Hahaha, if you knew you'd have to wear it in the end, why did you insist on wearing it in the first place!"

Helpless, given the quest required, Renxin Huadao could only maintain a blank expression as his teammate tucked the dazzling peony into his hair. Just then, a few players passing by witnessed this scene.

Then the players started joking around like old friends.

"Wow! You guys are really going all out! Are you doing the Four Loves? Or are you doing cosplay?"

"Wow! What a beautiful flower of wealth and elegance! My taste is really ahead of its time!"

"Hey, hey, can I take a picture with you? I want to check this out!"
