The gaming privileges for “Eternity” were extremely scarce, with the Miracle Doctor Alliance receiving only ten each year.
Over the years, less than a hundred members of the entire Alliance still had access to the game.
Therefore, it was forbidden for members to kill each other within the game.
After all, unlike the Thousand Army Alliance or the Spirit Alliance, which prioritized martial prowess, the Miracle Doctor Alliance valued medical skills and plant cultivation talents.
Members of the Miracle Doctor Alliance didn’t need to practice martial arts in the holographic game. Instead, they focused on gathering herbs and improving relationships with NPCs to possibly acquire rare secret manuals.
The Master of Ghost Valley was the pinnacle of all medical NPCs.
Players who encountered him never survived, leaving insufficient data for analysis.
Regardless, the Master of Ghost Valley was known as one of the most ferocious
NPCs.
Fang Mingquan had once harbored thoughts for Mom Jiang.
However, the Jiang family of four was not known for being particularly competitive.
After writing his message, Jiang Changfeng bowed towards Ghost Valley and left to meet Jiang Changning in Yong’an City.
Yong’an City in “Eternity” was based on the prosperous capital of the Great Xia
UY11dSLY.
The city was replicated to mirror the dynasty’s most flourishing period, with bustling streets and vendors on every corner.
But the game could never truly replicate the grandeur of the Great Xia dynasty, a mighty empire that welcomed envoys from all directions a thousand years ago.
“Brother, where did you go?” asked Jiang Changning, sitting in a teahouse. “You seem in good spirits.”
“Yes,” Jiang Changfeng replied succinctly. “Someone’s about to suffer. How about you?”
“I’m fine,” Jiang Changning nodded. “It’s similar to reality. I set it to sleep mode, so time passes at a 1:10 ratio. There’s plenty of time. I just spoke with the teahouse server. They have a renowned chef here, and I plan to learn from him.”
Jiang Changfeng was silent for a moment before conceding, “You really are…”
Although NPCs like the teahouse server were not unique and refreshed daily, they possessed high charm values . Otherwise, without the ability to articulate, it would be difficult to attract customers
New players typically lacked the charm to engage these NPCs, and attempts could even result in expulsion.
Yet Jiang Changning was already about to become the chef’s apprentice.
Her rapid increase in NPC favorability was astonishing.
“I need to go,” Jiang Changning stood up. “The tea here is excellent. The server gave me a box to take home for our parents.”
She handed over a box of tea.
Jiang Changfeng:
Comparingpeople can be disheartening.
Indeed, after being with the Heavenly Doctor Ghosthand for so long, his sister had also become wicked.
Meanwhile, in a hotel in the town.
Meng Xue had arrived in Southern State for the recording scheduled for the next day.
Naturally, Feng Peizhi accompanied her.
“Mengmeng, this is your first time participating in a Great Xia TV’s variety show,” Feng Peizhi said indignantly. “Originally, this survival reality show should have been yours, but it was snatched away by Si Fuqing, who signed the contract behind my back.”
That was just one thing.
The other was that she hadn’t received a penny.
Great Xia TV was known for its generosity, and Feng Peizhi wondered how much Si Fuqing had pocketed behind her back.
Meng Xue was surprised, “Mine?”
“Of course,” Feng Peizhi affirmed. “The Great Xia TV contacted me about it.”
“Let it be, if she signed it, she signed it,” Meng Xue scoffed. “It’s better to appear less in variety shows to avoid being labeled a ‘variety star.”‘
There was a hierarchy in the entertainment industry.
Breaking into the film industry was the hardest.
Meng Xue was still trying to make her way into the television industry.
With significant roles and mainstream awards, one could firmly establish themselves in the entertainment world.
“By the way, Director Tang Haiqiu has started casting,” Feng Peizhi changed the topic. “I’ve signed you up, and the company will fully support you in getting a role, at least the fifth female lead.”
Even as the fifth female lead, it would significantly boost Meng Xue’s acting career.
Meng Xue smiled, with genuineness, she said, “Thank you, Sister Feng.”
“And the company has news that Tang Haiqiu’s new Xianxia drama is a female-led series,” Feng Peizhi added. “It has no romantic subplot, a true female lead.
Most Xianxia dramas featured male heroes saving the world or centered on a romantic plot.
A true female-led Xianxia drama was rare.
Director Tang Haiqiu was taking a different approach by focusing on a female-centric Xianxia.
One could imagine that if this drama became popular, the actress playing the lead role would become an overnight sensation..
