Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 331 Zhao Qinghe's mentality exploded

"Yes, yes, I thought I was the only one who felt this way. It seems that all the scrolls with the theme of the dead have this feeling."

"According to my analysis, this should be a macroscopic influence of a higher necromancy domain concept on a common concept."

“That’s right,” a knowledgeable guy chimed in, “I’m just a half-baked scroll artist, and I have a lot to say about this. It’s like people striving for higher positions, water flowing downhill, and big fish eating small fish.”

Higher-level ideas can subtly influence lower-level ideas.

"Yes, yes, yes, the Divine Realm system is essentially based on this principle: higher-level concepts drive lower-level concepts."

"Tsk tsk, a domain dungeon with extra benefits, it would be an injustice if it didn't become popular!"

"If the club hadn't given me a strict order, I would have loved to go to the Underworld every day to experience and gain some insights."

"That's right, I can only sneak off to go there after get off work now."

There's a saying that goes, "Gold will always shine."

Those netizens who have experienced the underworld will basically become enthusiastic advocates, sharing their recommendations on various social media platforms.

As the rankings of the Underworld gradually stabilized, various forces also took notice of this peculiar domain scroll.

After all, any work that makes it into the top 100 is a high-quality work in its field.

Various forces even use this to attract and recruit talent.

It's important to know that the domain scroll is the best indicator of a scroll artist's skill level.

Sure enough, people have already started discussing it on the dedicated forum for scroll painters.

"The Underworld Club? A newly established club in Tianfeng Province?"

"When the Hero Tower was updated to level 35, it seems to have started in Tianfeng Province."

"Could it be because of this domain scroll?"

"My goodness, wouldn't all the major martial arts schools and forces be scrambling to acquire such a talent?"

"In my opinion, the major powers are probably already secretly vying for people."

"Comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable."

"I've already inquired. The president of the Underworld Club is named Xue Lingling, a graduate of the Necromancer's Guild."

"So you're a top student from the Necronomicon? No wonder."

"I feel much better now."

"The Necromancer's Gym has produced some really talented people, and top-notch ones at that."

"Has anyone tried out that [Underworld] dungeon? What was it like?"

In short: Absolutely amazing!

"What do you mean by that upstairs? Explain it in more detail!"

"I don't know how to describe it in detail. You'll understand once you experience it for yourselves," a regular scroll painter lamented. "All I can say is that we ordinary people are really not suited for the path of scroll painters."

"Holy crap! What the heck? Did he get hit hard?"

"It's just a copy of a domain, is it really worth it? Where is the Dao heart of us scroll painters?"

"The Dao Heart? Heh," the ordinary scroll painter smiled bitterly, "Once you experience it, you'll understand what a gap is, what despair is."

"If you put it that way, I really should go and experience it for myself."

"Together."

……

The Undead Dojo, Zhao Family.

Zhao Qinghe is currently enjoying immense success, and his family club is thriving under his support.

With the added boost from the Abyss Demon Lord, he has clearly become a rising star in the province.

He was once just a privileged son of a prominent family, but now he is a well-known and talented scroll painter in the industry.

However, ever since the Hero Tower updated its rankings a couple of days ago, the once high-spirited Zhao Qinghe has suddenly become a bit depressed. Originally, he was just looking at the top talents on the rankings to recruit some capable individuals for his clan.

As a scroll painting with a necromancer theme, "The Underworld" naturally attracted his attention.

However, after investigating the background of the Underworld, Zhao Qinghe froze completely.

"No, what right does that brat have?"

Zhao Qinghe could neither understand nor accept it.

Not long ago, he also created his own domain scroll, but unfortunately he didn't even qualify for the list, failing to meet the minimum requirements of the Hero Tower.

However, the Xue siblings not only successfully made it into the Hero Tower, but they also made it into the top 100.

This dealt a fatal blow to the arrogance and confidence he had just built up.

Subconsciously, she recalled the fear of being dominated by Wu Xian.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, this is not scientific!"

Zhao Qinghe grew increasingly angry, so he rushed back to his family home to discuss the matter with his father, Zhao Gao.

Upon learning of the situation, Zhao Gao was equally shocked. "Tsk~ It seems that the Xue family is really going to rise up this generation. By the way, the Hero Tower recently updated to level 35, right? It started from Tianfeng Province, didn't it?"

"You mean, the previous Hero Tower update was related to them?" Zhao Qinghe was shocked, his mentality on the verge of collapse.

"It's most likely, after all, floors 31 to 35 back then were clearly dominated by undead maps." Zhao Gao frowned and analyzed, "I just didn't expect it to be the work of that little girl from the Xue family."

When Xue Lingling was studying at the Necromancer's Gym, she was excellent, but not particularly outstanding.

Only now do I realize how well that girl kept things hidden.

There's even an even more outstanding younger brother hidden in the Xue family.

Not long after, out of curiosity, the father and son entered the Underworld together for a visit.

The two of them were heavier than ever before when they came out, and the shock on their faces was evident.

Not to mention Zhao Qinghe, even Zhao Gao, the pillar of the Zhao family, was affected.

Although that field was still only a semi-finished product, the prestige and potential it revealed were enough to send chills down his spine.

……

In the following days, word-of-mouth about the [Underworld] instance quickly spread.

Its popularity grew day by day through word of mouth among its fans, and it quickly rose to seventieth place in the rankings.

On the Underworld Club side, Xue Lingling was overjoyed, constantly refreshing the leaderboard, hoping that [Underworld] could advance even further.

The club's official website also saw a surge of enthusiastic fans.

The calls for an update to the Underworld are growing louder.

Everyone was extremely upset by the abrupt end of their experience in the underworld.

As a result, the gacha system also experienced a surge in revenue, and this toxic system began to spread to other cities and even some places outside the province.

Meanwhile, Wu Xian and Xue Lingling had already completed their preparations.

In recent days, a large amount of domain materials have been gathered through the Hero Points exchange system, the association treasuries of surrounding cities, and chamber of commerce channels.

At this moment, everything is ready, except for the final push!

“Let’s begin,” Wu Xian said slowly as he sat down opposite Xue Lingling. “It’s time to add fuel to the fire for the [Underworld].”

"Yes!" Xue Lingling nodded excitedly.

With a glance, the two simultaneously pulled out their respective domain scrolls and began to reconstruct and continue their stories.

And Master Sister's place, [Peach Blossom Mountain], should be officially renamed [Underworld].

Wu Xian's "Underworld" corresponds to the official positions and government institutions of the underworld, while Xue Lingling's "Netherworld" corresponds to the vast world of the underworld. The two complement each other and together depict a netherworld after death.
