"He... he's Buyu!"
When that legendary name came up, shock appeared on everyone's faces.
As far as they knew, Buyu never showed his true face and had always been an extremely mysterious presence.
A goddess-tier player like Ye Hongling was not just a goddess in the game. She had countless admirers in the real world, too, and all the major forums had long since placed her beauty on a pedestal.
Su Jinyu, the unattainable first love in countless people's hearts.
Zhao Yixue, an ice-cold beauty seen once in a thousand years.
Which of them wasn't a famous figure?
But Buyu was different from them.
He was an extremely mysterious presence. It seemed that, to him, the game was only a game and would never have the slightest connection to reality!
Who could have imagined actually meeting Buyu?
"So that's it... so that's it..."
"No wonder Miss Ye was confident enough to challenge the Fire Flame Abyss. She'd brought in Buyu!!"
"Holy shit, this is fucking unbelievable. I was actually fighting alongside my idol just now?"
"I'd heard ages ago that Miss Ye and Buyu were close. I never thought it was true, haha!"
"I feel better now. If it's Buyu, I'm not surprised at all that he's this strong..."
Chu Xiang looked as though he had eaten shit.
He had mocked him more than anyone else.
Now he knew that the person he had mocked was actually the legendary player, "Buyu."
And after the game merged with reality, Buyu remained as powerful as ever-absurdly powerful, breathtakingly powerful!
He felt as though his entire body was burning.
"Brother Chu, you're really something..."
Someone patted his shoulder. "Calling Buyu a freeloader, haha! You've got balls!"
Humiliated, Chu Xiang flew into a rage. "You mocked him too!"
"Miss Ye, if you'd told us who he was earlier, things wouldn't have..."
Before he could finish, Ye Hongling gave him a cold glance.
Her eyes seemed to say: Tell you beforehand? Do you really think you're someone important?
"All right. Thank you all for your efforts today. I'll have my butler transfer your payment to your accounts."
After leaving the volcano, Ye Hongling did not take the helicopter with the others. Instead, she climbed onto her flaming broom on her own and vanished into the horizon in a streak of fire.
She had to go to Lu City and show off to Su Jinyu.
After leaving, Chen Nian could hardly wait to use the "high-tier skill scroll."
It was no exaggeration to say that this thing was rarer than epic equipment, especially for someone like him, who relied entirely on rare skills...
[Please draw your Word Spirit]
Numerous arcane golden characters appeared before Chen Nian.
He tapped forward, and golden light burst out in an instant, like a star exploding.
[Sequence 101, "Mandate of Heaven," unlocked]
A high-risk Word Spirit, Mandate of Heaven!
Even Chen Nian could not help feeling slightly surprised when he saw that he had unlocked this Word Spirit.
Its effects were terrifying. It could be called an all-rounder, and if used well, it was every bit as good as the other high-tier sequences...
After using "Mandate of Heaven," he could draw cards.
Sun, Moon, Stars.
Sun: increased constitution by 30% and healed injuries.
Moon: increased agility by 30% and restored stamina.
Stars: increased transcendence by 30% and restored transcendent power.
There was also an extremely small chance of drawing "Solar Eclipse," also known as "Black Sun."
Once activated, Black Sun could absorb every living creature nearby, like a black hole... It did not even distinguish friend from foe. It was utterly terrifying!
That was why this Word Spirit was truly "high-risk." Even Chen Nian himself might not be able to control it properly.
It all depended on what cards he drew...
But with good luck on his draws, he could defy the heavens outright!
Soon, a notification arrived for Chen Nian's account.
[Your account has received a transfer of "1,000,000" gold]
This was virtual currency.
1 gold = 100 yuan.
In other words, one hundred million yuan.
Virtual currency could be exchanged for real-world currency at any time.
Ye Hongling was certainly prompt with her payment.
Chen Nian's gains from this trip were tremendous. Not only had he awakened a powerful new Word Spirit and gained many levels, but he had also received a huge sum of money.
His next plan was simple.
First, he would use the rare material he had obtained last time, the "Mountain-Carrying Demon Turtle Shell," to craft an epic equipment set.
The other materials were no problem. With plenty of funds now, Chen Nian went straight to the Trading Space and bought up what he needed.
He had all the materials!
Next, he only needed to take these materials and find someone with the "Blacksmith" talent.
I'll head back to the city and rest first. I'm exhausted.
So kissing takes quite a bit of stamina, too...
Chen Nian went home and rested for a day.
The next morning, he saw that "he" had swept the trending news rankings.
[Shocking! Legendary player Buyu appears, level 95 boss brutally slaughtered]
According to eyewitness accounts, everyone had fallen into despair when the boss appeared, until Buyu made his move. It had been utterly powerless to fight back... Unfortunately, no one had gotten a clear look at Buyu's appearance, nor were there any photos from the scene.
User xx: Holy shit! Finally, news about Buyu?
User xx: My hubby Buyu is so strong! Hubby, fuck me~~~~
User xx: The Blood Moon Calamity is coming soon. I hope Buyu can protect us in our city!
Apparently, those who had been there had leaked the news. But that was fine. Ye Hongling was the only one who had seen his face.
"Chen Nian, Chen Nian, have you seen the news!"
"Buyu showed up! Oh my god!"
As Buyu's ultimate fangirl, Qin Yu could hardly wait to share the news with Chen Nian.
Chen Nian: I saw it.
Qin Yu: How are you so calm? That's Buyu! He might be the strongest transcendent in the entire world!
Chen Nian: Impressive, impressive.
Seeing Chen Nian's cold response, Qin Yu could not help huffing.
"So he's unhappy because I'm praising another man in front of him. But it's not like I'd ever get a chance to interact with an idol like that. I just admire him!"
"What are you doing, Xiao Yu? Talking to yourself? Want to go level up?" Deng Rongrong called out.
"Nothing. I was just sharing my excitement with Chen Nian. It was Buyu's first appearance, so I got a little excited. Maybe he's jealous?"
"Haha..."
Deng Rongrong nearly burst out laughing.
You're praising him to his face. He just can't be bothered to respond. What the hell would he be jealous of, girl?
If you ever find out Chen Nian's true identity... you'll probably die of embarrassment on the spot.
Lu City, in the courtyard of a mansion.
Su Jinyu had also come across the news, but it left her with mixed feelings.
Because she knew the whole story...
"Hmph, what's so great about that?"
"Brother Buyu even gave me fireworks. I must be number one in his heart!"
As the girl muttered to herself, a streak of fire suddenly flew toward her from the horizon.
Indeed, it was the triumphant Ye Hongling!
She had made this trip specifically to tell Su Jinyu every detail of how the two of them had held each other and kissed during that time.
