Inside the Profound Yellow Sect, Flower Rain blossomed magnificently. Pink petals fell like rain, within reach of the players, but they dissipated into wisps of white mist the moment anyone tried to grasp them.

From that moment on, the Flower Rain within the Profound Yellow Sect never ceased.

Even the Blood Demoness and Luo Yuan came out to watch the scattered pink petals, so dazzling and mesmerizing.

「On the game forums.」

Players were also eagerly showing off, starting to share photos or videos from the game.

"I officially began my romance with an NPC in the Qixi Festival Event."

"The new Illusory Weapons and my special someone in the game—I won't say more. Just watch the video!"

"I can't give you the whole world, but a sky full of Flower Rain is within your reach."

"I hereby declare that I'm officially taken! Reply to this post; I'll pick ten people to receive 1,000 RMB each. First come, first served!"

"…"

Players scouted various scenic locations in-game to take photos. Some even headed to the Great Dream Immortal Sect.

Those still waiting for a slot in the Fourth Test drooled with envy at this sight.

"I'm so envious of Flourishing Flowers! I don't even know what it feels like to date an NPC."

"Where the hell are those damn Game Designers? Hurry up and give us slots! I come here to nag you every day. Are the Game Designers dead or what?"

"Is this an update for Version 3.9? Does that mean Version 4.0 is coming soon? I'd trade ten years of my friend's single life for an Internal Testing slot!"

"My roommate is seriously ill and bedridden. His only wish is to get an Internal Testing slot. Please, oh please, Game Designers!"

"Is this the Fourth Test already? Damn! How many versions have I missed?"

"Please increase the number of Internal Testing slots! We're nearly at the Fourth Test, and you only have about a thousand slots. How is that fair to such a brilliant game?"

"My coworker quit his job to play this game, and I heard he's already made tens of thousands. I didn't believe it at first, but now I'm desperate for a slot. I've already resigned and I'm just waiting!"

"…"

Many people were waiting for the Fourth Test, and seeing this Qixi Festival Event made them incredibly envious.

This was the game's first official major event. It was an opportunity for an outright display of affection. As long as you found a romantic partner, you could flaunt your love anywhere in the game, and there were even rewards for doing so! You tell me, isn't that a sweet deal?

Just then, someone posted a screenshot of the Fresh Flower List. Those who understood the situation couldn't help but gasp.

"Fresh Flower List Rankings: Flower Gifting List, Flower Collection Rankings.

First place: Dung Beetle & Sister Zhou.

Second place: Junlin & Cat.

Third place: Evil Queen Morgana & Wanwan.

Fourth place: Half Dream, Half Wake, Half Life & Lemon is not sour.

Fifth place: Extra Large Chili Pepper & As if We First Met.

Sixth place: A Bowl of Duck Leg Rice & Favorite Duck Leg Rice.

Seventh place: Jiangyin Undercurrent & Luo Luo Doesn't Fight.

Eighth place: You're Not Dating Me & Peach Blossom Pastry.

Ninth place: Mu Chen Tianwu & Nan Nan.

Tenth place: Setting Sun and Remnant Star & Sitting and Watching the North Star."

The minimum to make the Top Ten of the Fresh Flower List was 5,000 Contribution Points.

Making it into the Top Five required at least 10,000 Contribution Points.

The Top Three reached 20,000 Contribution Points, with Old Mo and Wanwan as the gatekeepers.

The rivalry between Junlin and Dung Beetle had temporarily paused, with Dung Beetle currently in the lead at 80,000 Contribution Points. Junlin stopped when he reached 70,000. After all, the Contribution Points of Lingxiao Hall weren't his alone to command, and he couldn't realistically go head-to-head with Dung Beetle in a spending war.

Everyone knew Dung Beetle had a lot of Contribution Points, but no one expected him to have *this* many. The fact that he secured the top spot was truly unexpected by everyone.

You have to understand, in this game, Contribution Points could be directly exchanged for real money, and the Three Great Merchants had never stopped acquiring them. Although the value of Contribution Points had fluctuated significantly recently, it had now stabilized at a ratio of 1:50. After all, players had a vast amount of Contribution Points on hand. If the Fourth Test launched, this exchange rate might even rise to 1:100. But for now... it was 1:50!

Even so, those who didn't have game access fell silent looking at the Fresh Flower List. All this for an event, for those meager rewards... it was utter madness.

"Holy crap, are there that many Rich People in this game? At a ratio of 1:50, how much real money is 80,000 Contribution Points?"

"Not much, just four million. I can't wait to get in."

"This is the very first Qixi Festival Event! There probably won't be another one like it. The pets, costumes, and mounts will all become limited-edition collectibles. Who wouldn't want them?"

"So many Rich People! Another day of envying the lives of the tycoons, *cough cough*… I mean, envying the lives of the Lords."

"If there are extra slots for the Fourth Test, will players from the first three tests each get a referral slot?"

"Begging for a Fourth Test slot! I can accompany you for a whole month, and I'll do anything you ask!"

"The person above, are you a girl?"

"…"

The forums were incredibly lively, and the game itself was even more so.

To climb the Fresh Flower List, players had driven up the entry barrier for the Top Ten significantly. Old Mo and Junlin were no longer competing. It seemed they had reached a tacit understanding to stop and watch the others scramble for the remaining spots.

Among the Top Ten players, a surprising number were Third Test Players. Honestly, Junlin and his team hadn't anticipated that these Third Test Players would possess so many Contribution Points.
