Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
This handsome guy naturally turned out to be Ji Chen and the beautiful lady beside him was Alice.
However, before coming down, he used the Illusory Mask to make some changes to his appearance.
His body became slightly taller and more slender, his features softened a bit, and his skin lightened considerably.
Paired with a set of exquisite clothing and accessories, he looked like a proper rich kid.
Ji Chen looked around with a hint of curiosity, ignoring the strange gazes of the other players outside, and led everyone into the largest tavern here, called “Cat Tail”.
Gently pushing open the creaking wooden door, the tavern appeared to have only one floor, but it was quite spacious. Crystal lamps with dimmed brightness were hanging on the walls, creating a slightly dim and atmospheric ambiance.
Circles of wooden booths were situated on both sides, and there was a slightly sunken dance floor in the middle, adorned with a multicolored crystal lamp that illuminated the dance floor in a dazzling array of colors.
Seeing all this, Ji Chen suddenly felt like he had returned to a bar on Earth.
Impressive! These players sure know how to have a good time. They’ve managed to recreate a typical Earth bar in this fantastical realm.
They definitely live up to the label of “casual players.”
Two- thirds of the booths were already occupied, indicating that players chose this place to spend their evenings.
As he observed the environment, the players in the tavern also noticed them and cast curious and puzzled looks their way.
Huh?
Why is there a handsome native rich kid coming to our place?
When they saw Alice, their eyes lit up.
Damn, he even brought a beautiful girl with him. They were incredibly jealous!
Ji Chen withdrew his gaze and suddenly got mischievous. He whispered a few words in Alice’s ear.
Alice nodded and walked to the front desk of the tavern, saying something to the female player in charge of reception.
The female player looked startled at first, then, seeing Alice drop a bag filled with gold coins, her expression changed.
She quickly used some DIY-made amplification device and excitedly announced:
“Tonight, all expenses for drinks, food, snacks, and venue are covered by this young gentleman Zhao!”
The entire tavern suddenly fell silent as players looked at each other.
Then, like a volcanic eruption, everyone started cheering.
“Boss, you’re generous!”
“Mr. Zhao is awesome!”
“We’re going to have a blast tonight!!!”
In an instant, this person, despite his unknown background, appeared to be affluent and became everyone’s newfound friend.
Although Mr. Zhao looked a bit strange at first and there were some doubts, as soon as they saw his status panel through the system, all doubts disappeared.
[Player]
[Name]: Zhao Liangchen
[Hidden]
How could the system possibly deceive anyone?
No mistake, this brother must be surnamed Zhao and called Zhao Liangchen!
Just as Ji Chen sat in the best and most expensive seat, many players came over with their glasses, enthusiastically offering toasts.
“Cheers to Mr. Zhao, you’re generous!”
“1 wonder where Mr. Zhao’s territory is now. We should visit sometime.”
Facing the questions from the casual players, Ji Chen didn’t answer any of them. He just smiled with a touch of arrogance, raised his glass slightly, and emptied it in one gulp.
Seeing this, the players were even more certain that Mr. Zhao was not simple at all. Only someone with a significant family background could afford to smile like that.
They became even more enthusiastic, coaxing him to speak.
“Mr. Zhao, it seems you’re also a player. How did you manage to achieve this in just a few months?”
“That’s right, tell us, so we can learn from you.”
Watching the players chatter, Ji Chen smiled inwardly but put on a seemingly helpless expression.
“When I first entered the game, I was just an ordinary lord like everyone else. But perhaps due to a bit of luck, there was a large and rare resource vein not far from my territory.
Inside, there weren’t any guardian monsters, so I relied on this vein to continuously sell resources to the indigenous people, earning a substantial amount of gold.
Then 1 invested all that gold into the indigenous people’s businesses, leveraging the business skills 1 had from my time on Earth. Money rolled in, profits multiplied, and before I knew it, 1 had unintentionally amassed a fortune of billions.”
As he spoke, Ji Chen even put on a bland expression.
“Well, I didn’t expect making money in this world to be so easy. It’s like an easy game, with no challenge at all. 1 could clear it in minutes.”
Hearing these words, the players suddenly realized. They said, “We all entered at the same time, but how come you’ve become a wealthy and glamorous person, while we’re still stuck looking like losers?”
Moreover, seriously, there’s a large, rare resource vein near your territory without any wild monsters guarding it. What kind of luck is that!?
Is Lady Luck your relative or something?
The players couldn’t help but feel a bit sour.
Envy, jealousy, and resentment.
But even with their envy, they knew they still needed to butter him up. If they could latch onto this big shot, wouldn’t they skyrocket?
They had been in this world for several months already, and their initial aspirations to achieve great things had gradually been worn down by the merciless beatings of this unfamiliar world.
In reality, it had been proven that not every player could thrive, have a powerful territory, and a force of elite soldiers..
