169 million.
170 million.
The number above the livestream slowly ticked upward, finally surpassing the 170 million mark. Ji Feng began talking to his viewers about leveling up.
"Everyone, brothers and sisters, with your tremendous support, we've gathered enough Coin Points for a direct upgrade to lv6. Should we keep streaming, or should we start upgrading? What do you all think?" After reaching lv6, Ji Feng's livestream would unlock quite a few new features. He was already getting impatient.
After watching today's duel and cursing out that idiotic viewer together, the viewers had already had their fill for the day. They did not have much of an opinion on whether he should level up or not.
"Whatever Brother Feng wants... either is fine."
"Upgrade as soon as possible! Once you reach lv6, there'll definitely be even more benefits..."
"Brother Feng, you're asking how I look at it? As an experienced driver, I usually look at the thighs. Occasionally, I look at the chest."
As long as he got along with his viewers, they were like brothers to him. At this moment, there was no drama in the livestream. Everyone had returned to that simple, uncomplicated happiness.
"Alright, since everyone says so, I'll upgrade today. There's nothing left to stream in Whispering Cloud Village anyway. Once I return to Shadowwind Village, our livestream will enter the Hero's True Colors arc. Then we'll listen to 'A Better Tomorrow' together and talk nonsense. How does that sound?"
Ji Feng sent another comment.
"Hero's True Colors? It's obviously just about a bunch of scumbag gangsters. What's so good about it? The protagonist is ugly too, and what kind of name is Brother Ma? My tfboys are the most handsome. And 'A Better Tomorrow' sounds awful. I want to listen to 'Youth Training Manual'..."
Suddenly, an eye-catching comment appeared in the livestream. One look was enough to tell it had come from an elementary school kid.
"Are you brain-dead or mentally disabled? You're even trashing Leslie's 'A Better Tomorrow'? What the hell are tfboys compared to Leslie? Were you sent here by monkeys to be funny?"
"You're obviously a middle school class officer. No matter how hard your Toilet-Digging Oppa tries, he'll never compare to Brother Ma in my heart... What makes someone scum? There has never been any justice in this world. It's a jungle world—survival of the fittest..."
"A true hero dares to face a bleak life head-on. Money, power, and status aren't the point. The point is that a real man uses blood and sweat to protect his family, and his life to defend his dignity and friendship. I've always remembered that line from Brother Ma. Brother Feng returned to the clan to accomplish all of this. If that isn't Hero's True Colors, then what is?"
Ever since coming to Azeroth, Ji Feng had always felt lonely—lonely from the bottom of his heart. But at that moment, looking at the viewers' comments, he suddenly no longer felt alone.
This time, the viewers were all defending him. This time, many people stood in front of him. He no longer needed to explain himself.
Soft laughter sends warmth to me
You fill me with a powerful current of joy
Softly saying that the long road is nearly over, finally reaching bright, sunny days
Cheers rise one after another like golden arrows fired by the red sun, and your smiling face from days past reappears beside me
Soft laughter as we raise our eyes together to the sky
At last, the beautiful blue heavens are offered to you
Holding you, the warmth from before rises again within my heart, untouched by childish dreams
Today, you and I stand shoulder to shoulder once more; the feelings of those days are fresh again
"A Better Tomorrow" echoed through the livestream. In an instant, comments filled the entire screen in row after row. Everything was understood without being said.
That classic melody echoed through the livestream. At the same time, Ji Feng opened the upgrade panel and selected a direct upgrade to lv6.
"System Notice: lv4 benefit. The host may use voice for 20 minutes per hour. The livestream box has been unlocked and can store 9,999 comments." "System Notice: lv5 benefit. The voice system has been fully unlocked. The intermediate livestream box has been unlocked. The top 100 fans on the fan ranking may privately message the host. Up to 100 private messages may be stored." "System Notice: lv6 benefit: the system Collections panel (Toy Box) has been unlocked. The host may use Achievement Points to exchange for Collections items (toys). Note: Limited to one exchange per day. Special items cannot be exchanged." "Current Achievement Points: 40."
Because Ji Feng had chosen a direct upgrade, the system displayed all the benefits in the livestream at once. At that moment, all the viewers saw them.
"lv6 benefit, a Toy Box? Interesting. Brother Feng, can you open it now? See whether anything can be exchanged!"
"What the hell is a Toy Box? What Brother Feng needs most right now is equipment produced by the system... Once he's decked out in divine gear, defeating the Mogu will be easy."
"The Collections system has five sections: mounts, pet journal, Toy Box, heirlooms, and appearances. Brother Feng, hurry up and see what it takes to unlock the other sections! If you could unlock the heirloom section now and put on a full set of heirlooms, you could absolutely crush the sages of Shadowwind."
Ji Feng spent 170 million Coin Points, and the original livestream panel had changed. A "red horse head" had appeared in the lower-right corner of the livestream. This was the so-called Collections system.
"Mount section: Not yet unlocked." "Pet section: Not yet unlocked." "Heirloom section: Not yet unlocked." "Appearance section: Not yet unlocked." "Toy Box: Unlocked."
In World of Warcraft, the Collections system had five major sections. Now, the system also had five sections, and the two were nearly identical, except...
"MKII Selfie Camera."
"Unusual Compass."
"Mark of the Immortal Warrior."
"Ik'zan's Cursed Feather."
Since the other expansions had not yet been unlocked, Ji Feng could only open the Toy Box panel. Yet the toys within it had somehow become divine artifacts.
"Ancient Pandaren Fish Lure (1-hour cooldown). Use: Allows you to lure and catch large quantities of fish in the waters of Pandaria. Can only be used in Pandaria. Exchange price: 50 Achievement Points."
"Watery Orb (1-hour cooldown). Use: Increases swimming speed by 50% and allows you to breathe underwater for 10 minutes. Can only be used in Pandaria. Exchange price: 70 Achievement Points."
Ji Feng casually checked two toys, but the information on them still gave him quite a shock.
These things were toys in the game, but in this real world, their effects were far too powerful.
In the game, players normally only paid attention to toys when they were bored. Things like fish lures were mostly useless. But in this real world, the lure could catch huge amounts of fish, while the Watery Orb could even let him breathe underwater indefinitely. Toys that had been utterly useless in the game had become "divine artifacts" in this world.
"Pandaria Wormhole Generator. Teleports you to somewhere in Pandaria. The exact location is difficult to predict, but it may be very far away. (No cooldown.)"
Ji Feng casually clicked another one. Sure enough, even this Engineering "wormhole" had been enhanced. This kind of item could save his life at a critical moment. Every useless toy had been strengthened.
"Holy shit... this is awesome. This is insanely awesome."
"Brother Feng, Brother Feng, check the toys farther down! See whether there's anything you can exchange. If they can all be exchanged, hurry up and exchange some toys to play with!"
At that moment, the viewers were just as excited.
"Everyone, wait a moment. Let me see what this is. This is..."
Ji Feng clicked the upper-right corner of the Toy Box panel and saw a bronze icon there. Four words were written on it: Random Toy.
"What is this?"
Ji Feng could not help clicking it.
He had heard of randomly summoning mounts, but he had never heard of random toys.
The moment Ji Feng touched it, a voice sounded in the livestream. It said, "Random toy exchange initiated. Toy exchanged successfully. 40 Achievement Points consumed. Exchanged item: The Innkeeper's Daughter."
"Holy shit... Brother Feng actually exchanged for an innkeeper's daughter. I laughed so hard my period came out."
"Impressive, my brother. So Random Toy means 'random exchange,' huh!"
"Hahaha... There aren't even any inns in Pandaria right now. What use is this thing? This is probably the most useless toy in the entire toy system."
"Why is everyone so excited? What the hell is The Innkeeper's Daughter? Please explain..."
Although The Innkeeper's Daughter was not particularly useful, it was an extremely famous toy in World of Warcraft. The Innkeeper's Daughter flooding the world channel was one of the most famous sights in World of Warcraft.
"The Innkeeper's Daughter: Returns you to the nearest inn. Speaking to an innkeeper in a town can change the location of your designated home. (15-day cooldown.) Exchange successful..."
The system notification sounded. Ji Feng still looked completely dumbfounded. He had spent 40 Achievement Points on this toy. His balls ached.
The Innkeeper's Daughter was an Archaeology toy. Its function was equivalent to a Hearthstone—yes, the Hearthstone that could be requested from every innkeeper. Other than flooding the world channel during late-night hours, it was basically useless.
"Everyone, you're still too young, too simple... Just watch! The Innkeeper's Daughter will be tremendously useful. In my hands, anything can turn from trash into treasure, alright!"
Although he had not yet figured out what it could be used for, Ji Feng could not back down now. No matter what, he had to pretend it was useful first. The livestream was about to undergo maintenance anyway.
"Livestream maintenance countdown: 15 minutes."
As usual, maintenance meant ending the livestream. The maintenance countdown had arrived.
(There's nothing special to say. I recommend "A Better Tomorrow" to everyone! I believe you've all seen the film Hero's True Colors as well. The next arc will be Ji Feng's Hero's True Colors arc. I also want to thank everyone for your support, and I hope all my brothers and sisters will continue following this book.)
