Chapter 556 -387: Su Keying’s New Video Series

Rock State Peacock City.

In a coffee shop in the bustling city center.

Dongyang, Chenxi, and Polaris, a group of high-level players, were sitting at a corner table by the window, drinking.

After the Scarlet Battle had come to a close, they took the initiative to apply to follow Jack Circus to this place. First, they wanted to be closer to the core team of their own power, so they could receive any tasks or news at the first opportunity. Second, Dongyang quietly suggested that the think tank of the Hall of Valor had analyzed that the Scarlet Battle was likely not so easily concluded…

Following Jack was bound to be the right move as he would probably take significant action next.

“Bro Polaris, you’ve become famous again! In the top video on the forum’s hot list, your personal highlight is ranked eighth! That’s a unique honor… Out of so many players in the Empire, everyone is admiring your valor, tsk tsk!”

Meeting the Dragon King while sipping a latte, he smacked his lips and chuckled.

Polaris quietly drank his hot milk, noticing the envious glances from other high-level players, so he shook his head.

“Indeed, these past two days about seven or eight guilds have approached me, one even offered a fifty million entry contract… but I refused them all,”

he said reflectively.

“Had this been before, I would have joined without hesitation, but now that desire has faded… I prefer to be a free solo player.”

“Indeed, I saw this in you long ago, that you don’t like being restrained…”

Dongyang nodded in agreement, then smiled.

“And if you really wanted to join a guild, aren’t there better choices right in front of you? Not to mention our Hall of Valor, but also Chuxi and God’s Love are among the top big guilds… A fifty million contract? Heh, our Hall of Valor could write you an exclusive five hundred million relaxed contract! Others might not understand your value, but could we be ignorant of it?”

“Thank you, Dongyang, but there’s no need,”

Polaris replied with a smile, raising his cup to Dongyang.

Dongyang also picked up his coffee, clinked his cup lightly with Polaris’s, and joked:

“Have you been influenced by Jack? You also started to like drinking milk?”

“Yeah, Bro Polaris, you used to drink milk tea…”

Tutu and Kuchan Nana said with puzzled expressions.

Polaris paused slightly, then shrugged.

“I don’t know, maybe…”

His emotions were a bit complex.

Had he unknowingly started imitating his idol’s behavior?

“I’ve really been liking pure milk lately, I suggest you all drink more of it,”

Polaris took a gulp and let out a puff of white breath.

The others laughed together.

“Speaking of which, the hot-list video this time wasn’t made by Keying, which surprised me…”

Honey Pomelo suddenly mentioned.

Everyone turned their eyes toward Su Keying, noticing her somewhat downcast mood.

“Actually, I’ve been working on a similar video already, but by the time I was halfway done, that guy had already published his. And I also realized that the materials I’d collected before were somewhat outdated, and probably wouldn’t have the same effect as his work…”

Su Keying said with a pouted lip.

Her close girlfriend Wei Yin chuckled.

“Keying, is your little brain short-circuiting? How could Jack’s material ever be outdated? Let me tell you, he’ll never be outdated!”

Keying looked doubtful.

But then the twin-tailed loli raised her index finger.

“How about this idea, why don’t you make a ‘Jack’s Growth History’ and focus on the changes in his strength and appearance… That way you can use all the materials from the beta test to the official release version 1.0, and it will also stand out from other videos.”

“You truly are Jack’s brain… brainy fan; that’s an amazing idea!”

Doghead Gold was halfway through his sentence when he got a sharp look from Wei Yin and quickly corrected himself.

“With more players understanding Jack after this Scarlet Battle, and taking an interest in him… releasing this video will be like a special feature on Jack, and I believe it’ll quickly hit the hot list again!”

“Yeah, I think so too.”

“Keying, you should get started on it, Wei Yin’s idea is indeed good!”

The others echoed their agreement, even Dongyang nodded.

“The number of players inside Jack Circus is now nearly a thousand, and these are all elites from various guilds… It is evident that Jack has never lowered his recruitment standards, and as the most unique benefit of being with the Circus, that exclusive instance ‘Immortal Realm’ now supports up to five hundred players at a time, and will only support more in the future.”

He looked at Su Keying.

“As the number of high-level players coming from the Circus continues to grow, we can no longer keep this a secret as we did during the beta and early official release… since we can’t hide it, it’s better to be generous and let more people know about Jack, maybe even gaining a wave of good reputation… after all, we already have the lead, so consider it looking after the newcomers.”

Polaris nodded, looking towards Su Keying.

“In the future, we can also try to make a series of videos, releasing info on the maps we’ve explored in the Immortal Realm and the monsters we’ve encountered. This data isn’t valuable, and we can use it to attract viewers… this is our advantage, isn’t it?”

The others listened, their eyes lighting up.

Chenxi suddenly had an idea and spoke up:

“If you do make this video series as Polaris suggests, I can represent the Chuxi Guild to invest in it, to improve the quality and make it even better… provided that the Chuxi Guild’s logo and some advertisements are added at the beginning and end of the videos.”

Upon hearing this, both Dongyang and Doghead Gold made similar requests.

Su Keying opened her mouth slightly, not expecting to solve her problematic situation so easily, and even reaping unexpected benefits. She pondered for a few seconds and then smiled brightly.

“Great! Thank you for your suggestions; it seems feasible!”

“Putting our heads together is always better than brooding alone… that’s also the original purpose of our little team, isn’t it?”

The Horseman raised his fruit tea, signaling to everyone.

“Come on, let’s toast! To celebrate the success of this mission and… the imminent end of the upcoming version.”

“Cheers!”

Clink!

The elite players exchanged smiles, the atmosphere exceptionally cheerful.

By now, Chen Lun had already left the winery alone, heading to the headquarters of the Generous Council.

The Speaker had told him that after clearing the combat zone he was responsible for, he needed to return for a secret meeting that would be held exclusively for him.

While his companions rested at the winery, he still had many matters unfinished.

Upon arrival at the headquarters.

In the grandiose Great Hall on the first floor, Chen Lun once again received many respectful gazes from the council members. Quite a few stood up from their sofas to bow to him.

“Lord Jack.”

“Governing Officer, Sir.”

Chen Lun had put on the attire of a Governing Officer before departing, wearing a set of retro knight’s armor covered with a grey robe. As he walked past them, he smiled and nodded gently.

“Good day to you all.”

After greeting them, he went straight through the shadow curtain and up to the second floor.

Indistinct chatter about him followed from behind, but Chen Lun did not pay any attention to it.

Pushing open the heavy wooden doors, he saw the six Governing Officers seated around the marble round table and Speaker Azjiluo on the high seat behind them.

“Jack, you’ve arrived.”

Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.

The Speaker nodded at him.

“Governing Officers Houston, Mulenga, and Yasmin will arrive shortly. Please take a seat and wait for a moment,” he said.

“Yes, Speaker,” Chen Lun responded and, bowing with hand on his chest, took his designated seat.

Kingsberg, Peggy, and Bindu, the three Governing Officers, turned and smiled at him.

“Good day, Lords.”

“No need for formalities, Jack. You are now at the same level as us, so you can simply call us by our names,” Kingsberg said with a chuckling voice.

Chen Lun, humbly smiling, greeted the three Governing Officers by name and wished them a good day.

They exchanged a few words with Chen Lun before the three absent Governing Officers finally made their late arrival.

“Apologies, everyone. There was a tense situation in the combat zone that took some time,” Mulenga said as he entered the Great Hall and removed his helmet, wearing an apologetic expression and briskly returning to his seat. The situation of Houston and Yasmin appeared similar, as if they were in a rush.

“Is there an urgent matter that necessitates this emergency meeting?” Houston coolly began after settling in his seat.

He glanced at Chen Lun.

“Is it because Governing Officer Jack has completed the cleanup of the ‘Rock State Two’ combat zone ahead of time? If it’s for commendation, I can have someone write a letter of praise or give a speech in the Great Hall on the first floor.”

Hearing his provocative tone, Mulenga went on to ask calmly, “Houston, don’t let the troubles in your combat zone affect your mood here… As a newcomer to the Senate, Jack is the first Governing Officer to complete the cleanup mission; doesn’t he deserve recognition?”

He tapped on the table.

“Not to mention, if we look across the Empire, the team he leads is also the fastest in advancing during the Scarlet Campaign… If we don’t praise him, should we praise you instead?”

“Hmph! I have not even mentioned this incident!”

Houston huffed, staring intently at Chen Lun:

“I want to ask, Governing Officer Jack, what was your purpose for entering the ‘Gem State Four’ combat zone under my charge without any notice, causing rampant destruction deep within enemy lines… I am not accusing you of stealing credit but your actions have significantly disrupted my strategic planning!”

“Good intentions to help alleviate your stress, and yet in your mouth, they turn into willful sabotage?”

Peggy chuckled.

“Given that both sides refrain from easily employing high-ranked Combat Power, do you think there’s any crucial connection between Red Apple Church’s rear area and the region you’re fighting in?”

Before Houston could respond, Randa, another female Governing Officer sitting next to him, spoke up indifferently:

“So what you’re saying is, can I also randomly visit your combat zone under the guise of helping, Peggy?”

“Whenever you dare come, I’ll be happy to welcome you.”

Peggy’s eyes narrowed with a smile.

Chen Lun quietly observed the verbal sparring between the Governing Officers, knowing that he could no longer remain silent since this entire matter was, after all, caused by him.

So he stood up, his face bearing a polite smile, and said softly:

“Ladies and gentlemen, in the end, the fault lies with me. I hereby offer my sincere apologies to Governing Officer Houston!”

Houston, Randa, Malek, and Mide, four Governing Officers, looked at him with indifference.

“And a simple apology suffices?” Malek, a round-faced plump man, asked with a scoff.

“Of course not,” said Chen Lun, yet his smile remained.

“Therefore, I plan to lead my team to ‘Gem State Four’ to help Governing Officer Houston clear out the Red Calamity as soon as possible… after all, I have nothing pressing at the moment and might as well not be idle, right?”

“What are you talking about?”

Houston looked at him with an unfriendly gaze.
