The Boss King actually disguised himself as a novice village chief?!
Chapter 315 - 269 Ah, the New Wife

Chapter 315: Chapter 269 Ah, the New Wife

After passing through the Snake Catcher Fortress, which had turned to scorched earth under the blaze of Dragon Fire, the Undead followed Lind heading south.

Loves White Silk walked among the crowd, his heart swelling as he watched the low-hanging sunset on the horizon.

As the game’s popularity continued to soar, the competition among video bloggers became increasingly fierce.

Here, casually recording something was like shooting a big-budget blockbuster, and the game’s character modeling was hardly distinguishable from real people; it was like truly living in Another World, where a simple snapshot could be material.

At first, indeed, casual shots were all good material, but as everyone wanted a piece of the action, the content of the videos began to get more and more intense.

Genres such as "Monster Ecology," "Rand’s History," "Development of New Nobility," "A Day in the Life of an NPC," "Weapon and Equipment Catalog" and so on, others had already been doing them and achieving effects, forming their own fan bases.

Loves White Silk initially made pioneering types of videos and had always followed this style because the profits were good, without ever considering a change of course.

He was still a distinctive presence among the pioneer bloggers, but the traffic was getting less and less because the game’s unrepeatable and unimitable nature was too strong. The game had countless side quests, many of which not only had time-sensitive requirements and unique constraints but also could not be accepted again.

Besides major quests, no Undead had ever encountered the same task.

The experiences of all the Undead in this Magic World were truly unique.

This was a good thing for players entering the game in search of a second life, as the vast amount of story content and the uncontrollable directions of development led them to treat every character and every conversation seriously, experiencing the world’s stories with care.

But this was not favorable to pioneering bloggers; since everyone’s experiences were completely different, there was hardly anything to imitate. Although some liked to watch him, most people preferred to experience their own unique Doomsday Magic World journey.

If it weren’t for the bit of fame he had accumulated early on, Loves White Silk would be eating dirt by now.

Therefore, he was now eager to make something big, and perhaps this trip to the central region would be suitable for a video shoot.

There was one thing he wanted to criticize: by all accounts, his channel’s quality was decent, yet neither viewership nor traffic could compete with those doing fashion blogs.

Various outfits, put one on and dance to a girl group song... alright, he admitted that sometimes he really enjoyed watching.

If those doing fashion were actual women, it would be fine, but it irked him that some guys deliberately created female accounts to make money, leaving him to wonder whether they were truly in it for the profit or simply enjoyed the pleasure of watching a female character dance.

Loves White Silk wasn’t incapable of doing fashion himself; the face he had crafted still had its audience. There are those who appreciate beauty and others who appreciate ugliness; being ugly to a certain degree was also a characteristic. But the essence of fashion blogging was to continuously produce new clothes, which couldn’t just be bought with Gold Coin or Points.

Fashion bloggers who could get clothes typically used real money to buy new outfits from players who opened loot boxes, using their financial capabilities to secure the latest batch of clothes.

Before the update, the Harry Potter collaboration scarf was quite valuable, but later, as everyone grew and could afford to open boxes, the scarves became common accessories.

Similar situations were numerous, and Loves White Silk, with not much money, could only faithfully make tough pioneering videos.

The Undead were the first to head to Emerald Hill, where they met a group of new Undead.

The dazzling Enchantment equipment on the bodies of hundreds of Undead made them look like a triumphant army.

Although they had little to do with the victory in this battle, it didn’t prevent them from enjoying the admiring looks from the newbies. Playing games was meaningless if not for showing off in front of newbies.

They weren’t given much time for idle chat, though, as the opening of the north-south road signaled that Lind’s territories had finally become connected.

The new Main City in the central region was about to open!

Loves White Silk passed up the chance to take on new missions. To him, Emerald Hill’s Newbie Village didn’t seem worth lingering over, even though this village was somewhat exaggerated, actually packed with Great Knight NPCs.

The usual pairing in other Newbie Villages was one Wizard and one Great Knight.

Are you sure this is Newbie Village and not some ancient battlefield-like town fortress?

Moreover, these Great Knights looked aggrieved, as if they had been bullied, which made it hard to imagine what abuse they had suffered.

Some Undead chose to stop here as well.

Emerald Hill could provide supplies; as Lind’s key hub and the only Newbie Village he controlled in the central region, he had invested a lot of resources into it.

Moreover, due to geographical factors, once the Snake Catcher Fortress that connects the north and the south is rebuilt, Emerald Hill’s location will become even more important, and with money, one can buy things here.

There were Undead who needed to log off in the safe zone. The previous battle with the BOSS had already taken up a lot of time. Gaming is fun, but people need to eat and go to the bathroom, right? They had already wasted too much time watching the CG.

There were even some who were close to starting their gaming session in diapers.

"Doomsday Magic Ring" best gaming peripheral: diapers.

Still, a small group of people decided to head to the new Main City at top speed. They could hold on for a while longer and talk about it once they reach the Main City.

The journey was long, and along the way, more and more Undead logged off sporadically.

Due to the earlier battle, the Undead had lost all their war horses and strange birds, so they could only travel on foot, and Lind Dog had no intention of slowing down to wait for them.

Fortunately, at this time the game didn’t have any vulgar pop-ups like "Please stay within 100 meters of the NPC" or "Warning, you are too far from the NPC, the follow quest failed," any annoying notifications.

This road was the main passageway between Mountain Demon Castle and Emerald Hill, and there was no sign of Calamity along the way.

The terrain here was different from the north, as the land was much flatter.

The legendary Mountain Demon Castle appeared before the eyes of the Undead.

They had managed to catch up with Lind, who now had two black shadows by his side, likely the reason he got held up.

The towering city walls were far more majestic than those of Star Dragon City. The easy-to-defend, hard-to-attack Snake Catcher Fortress paled in comparison, seeming to lack sharp edges.

In front of the castle lay a vast plain.

A wide avenue stretched out before them, a perfect location for a cavalry charge, or even for the enemy to launch an offensive.

But as the Undead looked up at the soldiers patrolling the walls, they quickly added a caveat in their minds: as long as someone could withstand the concentrated fire from the mass of soldiers defending the walls.

Lind stood at the city gate, which opened.

The Soldiers charging in formations appeared like golden waves—a unit comprised entirely of Great Knights.

The Undead were quite tense, standing near the castle, facing the fully armed Cavalry that emerged suddenly, a sight enough to make every Undead’s nerves taut.

The Cavalry looked solemn, holding their lances aloft.

"Is this an honor guard?"

"Damn, using such a lavish group for an honor guard, could it be they’re lined up to welcome Lind’s triumphant return?"

Two flags fluttered in the wind; one bore a lion, the other a dragon.

"Damn!" An Undead who knew some of the game’s lore blurted out.

"What’s going on?"

"Dragons!" The speaking Undead took out a Rand Gold Coin: "That’s the coat of arms of the Rand royal family, Hedwin’s crest!"

"Damn, does that mean we’re about to meet some legendary Prince, Princess, or King any moment now?"

Before the speculation could ripple further, a golden figure, flanked by a host of protective Soldiers, emerged.

She walked slowly, lifting her golden gown slightly.

She carried an indescribable air of nobility about her, one that commanded attention simply by standing there, and she deliberately exhibited her majestic side at this moment.

However, the silence at the scene was soon broken.

"Ah, it’s the new Wife!"
