The Demon Race had temporarily halted their advance, but a stream of bad news kept coming their way.

The weaker races were practically surrounded by enemies.

They toiled away in the Southern Continent, only to find their own homes had been stealthily robbed, leaving behind nothing.

At first, everyone suspected whether it was the work of the Royal Family.

Gradually, as more Demon Race territories encountered mishaps, the demons of the Southern Continent also confirmed it was the doing of the Royal Family.

In the Eastern Region, there was a vast amount of Demon Qi, making it nearly impossible for the Human Race to survive there.

So it had to be someone from within their own ranks!

And the only ones with that kind of Power were the experts from the prince's faction!

With the Demon Race no longer attacking, a certain laxity appeared among the Players. Although trading Young Demons and treasures had made them a fortune, in the eyes of Xu Nian, the Sect Leader, the Players had begun to slack off.

How could this be allowed?

If the Players stopped working, how would he, as Sect Leader, continue to boost his Power?

Currently, the Players were busy with Tasks related to Spiritual Veins. Only the Fourth Test Players remained in the Eastern Region, searching for the Demon Race.

Maybe it was time to prepare and lead the Players to pioneer the Southern Continent? There was nothing to lose anyway.

With demons available for the Players to practice on, it could also enhance the Players' Power.

Just look at Dung Beetle, who had already reached the Void Refining Realm. Don't the rest of you Players feel ashamed?

"Holy shit, my Seven-Colored Finch hatched!"

Dung Beetle had been badly beaten previously and had only recovered by relying on Elixirs.

When it seemed like there would be no good news, who would have thought that his Magpie Festival Reward would arrive?

His Seven-Colored Finch was the only pet that had mutated into the Nascent Soul Realm.

The Seven-Colored Finch was covered in feathers of seven different colors, about the size of a small dog, with a tail plume nearly a meter long. When it flew, conspicuous Starlight trailed from its fluttering Wings.

It could only be described as gorgeous!

The Magpie Festival Rewards had been distributed a while ago, but only the Top Ten recipients got truly good items.

The Top Ten were given the exclusive Dream Order costumes—all white, embellished with various Arrays, which could be switched to any color of their liking.

Those who could wear this attire were unmistakably flaunting their status as wealthy Lords.

You must understand, many had splurged Contribution Points on the Magpie Festival event.

Some were even more intense, buying Contribution Points directly from the Three Great Merchants, all to make a dash for the Fresh Flower List.

The most famous one was the wealthy Player known as Extra Large Chili Pepper.

With sheer extravagance, he purchased a vast number of Contribution Points and, in the final moments, propelled himself into the top five.

He could really be called a true rich Lord among the Third Test Players.

The top five got the Seven-Colored Finch Reward, and naturally, Extra Large Chili Pepper also snatched one.

However, he needed to cultivate his own. His Seven-Colored Finch was born at the Qi Cultivation Realm, a vast difference compared to Dung Beetle's.

Plus, his Seven-Colored Finch wasn't as beautiful as Dung Beetle's.

The Seven-Colored Finches awarded to the top five each had their distinctions.

Now that Dung Beetle's Seven-Colored Finch had officially made its debut, it had also attracted quite a bit of attention.

"Holy shit, is this the exclusive Magpie Festival pet? It's that gorgeous?"

"I'm instantly in love, damn. If I'd known it was this beautiful, I should've gone all out back then."

"Damn, Extra Large Chili Pepper really hit the jackpot this time; he just surged ahead and became the only male Third Test Player on the flower-sending list."

"Sister Zhou was weeping with joy. She had gotten Dream Order, the Seven-Colored Finch, and Magpie Bridge Immortal. She had instantly become a winner in life!"

"..."

Fourth Test Players, watching the Veteran Players start to show off their Rewards, were filled with envy that dripped like drool.

Veteran Players who participated in the Magpie Festival's flower-giving event almost all received a transmogrified weapon.

Those transmogrified weapons, when displayed, really caught the eye.

Fourth Test Players could only feel envious. After all, they had started playing after the Magpie Festival and couldn't get their hands on those transmogrified weapons.

Such a huge loss, a whole hundred million!

Dung Beetle immediately switched back to the Dream Order attire, ink-painting style, and then left the Profound Yellow Sect with his Seven-Colored Finch, sitting atop the Magpie Bridge Immortal.

He was going to show off!

Show off like crazy!

Letting out all the frustrations from the past few days.

The Magpie Bridge Immortal could be called the most beautiful vehicle. It was an entire bridge seemingly laid among the clouds, with faintly visible images of the Cowherd and the Weaving Girl upon it.

And what about Dung Beetle?

He was sitting atop the bridge, with the Seven-Colored Finch circling him, truly drawing a lot of attention.

But just then, Players received a message.

A message from the Great Dream Immortal Sect!

Luo Yuan, carrying a message from Meng Dongnan, had specifically rushed back to the Profound Yellow Sect and went out of his way to find Xu Nian.

"Xu Nian, stop meditating, we've got trouble!"

Luo Yuan stood at the doorway, shouting, "People from the Central Domain are here, from the Jade Flower Immortal Sect! And they want to buy your Communication Rings. Old Meng told me to ask your opinion, to see if you want to trade with the Central Domain?"

Huh? People from the Central Domain?

Xu Nian was momentarily startled, then he relaxed.

What concern was it of his if people from the Central Domain came? The Communication Rings were not crafted by him, so why should it concern him whether they were sold or not? If they had the guts, they should negotiate with the Players. They all wanted to become the capitalists here!

"Find my Disciples. They crafted the items, ask them."

Xu Nian sat there, his face calm.

Seeing this, Luo Yuan was also stunned. "Aren't you curious? Those are people from the Central Domain, each with unfathomable Power. Don't you really want to join the excitement?"

"Would joining this excitement help me make a breakthrough?"

Xu Nian rolled his eyes and said, "So what if they're from the Central Domain? They've all got one head and two legs. Do they have three heads and six arms or something?"

With that said, he stopped paying attention to the ignorant Luo Yuan.

Besides, he was not going to avoid visiting the Central Domain in the future, so why bother meeting people from there now? Furthermore, since they were the ones seeking cooperation, they should be the ones to pay a visit. Since when does the host go to greet the guests? There was no such principle!

Luo Yuan was at a loss, woodenly heading off to discuss the matter with the Players.

The Communication Rings were crafted by the Great Inventor, so naturally, they had to consult the Great Inventor's opinion.

And the Great Inventor had used the Immortal Artifact, the Nine Immortals Spirit Disc, so they needed to consult Antarctic, the owner of the Spirit Disc.

Antarctic was no longer competing with the Players, spending every day in the game taking pictures and checking in at various locations.

He was more of a Life Player than actual Life Players. Hopeless! Beyond saving!

It seems my chance to become a capitalist has arrived.

When the Players found Antarctic, he was fishing at the foot of the mountain, the very picture of leisure.

"Sell it. Tell whoever has the authority to speak to come see me; I'll be waiting here for him."

Antarctic said with satisfaction, "The fish has taken the bait! Next up, it's time to announce the new feature. Great Inventor, it's your turn to take the stage!"
