Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“That makes sense! This kind of Raw Meat is trashy, don’t buy it!”
“I just ate a piece of Raw Meat and was immediately poisoned to death. I’m respawning now. Don’t buy it!”
“I know Mike, he said it’s a scam!”
“Right! Don’t buy it, everyone!”
“Make sure Mike’s Raw Meat can’t be sold at all!”
On the World Channel, such voices rose and fell one after another.
The impact far exceeded Trudeau’s expectations. There were actually so many people who were on his side!
Trudeau was proud of his powerful influential ability.
“If the crowd continues to believe what I said, Mike’s Raw Meat will soon be taken off the shelves. Hmph!”
“He deserves it!”
“We simply guided the public’s opinion. Are we geniuses?”
“Haha.”
Everyone in Trudeau’s party looked at the voices who were attacking Mike in the chat channel with pride.
Many people started questioning Mike.
However, someone in Trudeau’s party opened the Trade Market and wanted to see how Mike’s Raw Meat would rot in his hands and remain unsold. It would be best if Mike was directly taken off the shelves altogether.
When he went in, he was instantly dumbfounded.
100 pieces of Raw Meat.
They were all gone!
Mike then put another 1,000 pieces of Raw Meat on the shelves. It was sold out at lightning speed once again.
Wasn’t the whole channel mad at Mike?!
Didn’t they say they wouldn’t buy Raw Meat?
Where was all the Raw Meat going?
He couldn’t get it even if he had the money!!
“What’s going on? Why are the actions of the public different from what they’re saying?!” This person was going out of his mind.
His exclamation attracted the attention of Trudeau and the others.
Trudeau had a bad feeling.
He immediately opened the Trade Market. In an instant, Trudeau’s heart turned cold.
Out of stock.
Out of stock.
Pre-order: 21,360.
Weren’t they all slandering Mike?!
Why was it not only being sold short but also having pre-orders exceeding 20,000 pieces?!
Was Mike the only one who could gather all these materials?
“Aren’t they all slandering Mike? Why do I feel like something is wrong?” Trudeau felt very uncomfortable.
Very uncomfortable.
“It can’t be…”
“Each of them slandered Mike just to make others stop buying it, so that they can have more Raw Meat for themselves, right?”
“It seems possible…”
“I thought we were leading them to slander Mike, but it turns out that we were actually the fools?”
…
On the World Channel.
“I’ve already said that Mike’s Raw Meat is poisonous, he’s a liar!! Don’t you understand human language?! There are ten people who didn’t even get a piece of Raw Meat you bunch of animals!”
“There are so many b*stards, would it kill you not to eat meat?”
“I’m looking for a piece of Raw Meat, I’ll pay 35 iron ore for it!”
“40 iron ore for a piece of Raw Meat!”
“Shut up, I’ll buy a piece of Raw Meat for 200 iron ore! Who will give me a piece?!”
“Who is willing to send me a piece of Raw Meat, I want to explore…”
“Wait, look at the Trade Market!”
“Mike is selling 50 pieces of Raw Meat and only Colorless Crystals can be used to trade.”
“Another 1,000 pieces of Raw Meat are being sold for iron and copper ores, but the price has been raised to 100 ores per piece.”
“Mike is selling another batch of Raw Meat!”
“This time, the price is limited to people who are Level 5 and below, only 1 iron ore/copper ore needed.”
“Is he helping the new players explore new territory?”
“Sob, sob, sob, sob, sob, I’m so touched!”
…
Public opinion exploded in all the major channels.
Everyone was discussing this matter.
At this moment, in the game’s official forum, the top geniuses of mankind had gathered. They were also advancing in the game.
In fact, they did not know about the game any more than the players. All they did was use some mysterious technology to create this virtual projection game to fight against Exotic Beasts.
Therefore, they also needed to enter the game to explore more of their creation.
Because they were the top geniuses of mankind, they were very efficient.
But even such a group of people didn’t understand why Mike’s Raw Meat had such a magical effect.
“I forcefully bought 100 Raw Meat through the system, but I didn’t find any problems. Although I’m still testing… It seems to be as described.”
“How did Mike do it?”
“I’m afraid his progress is much faster than ours.”
“Mike… his progress alone has exceeded us even with our joint efforts.”
“He’s the real deal, right?”
“He’s scary.”
“Should we contact him?”
“No.”
“We shouldn’t get involved too much, especially with people like Mike. These kinds of powerful people have a weird temper. I suggest that we keep an eye on him. It might be counterproductive to contact him rashly.”
…
The popularity of the Raw Meat on the various channels far exceeded Mike’s imagination.
If only he knew it would be this popular.
He did not expect that the moment Raw Meat was on the shelves, it would cause such a huge reaction. The materials he gained reached a point where they could not be used up.
It was a pity that he did not get enough Colorless Crystals.
But later on, as the players’ attributes soared, they explored faster and faster.
Especially when low-level players could buy cheap Raw Meat and explore directly, the probability of the Colorless Crystals appearing would change drastically.
Finally, Mike had a large number of Colorless Crystals from the trades.
[Colorless Crystal: 171]
It was getting better.
These extremely rare materials were finally increasing.
“It’s time to start building the array.” Mike smiled faintly.
The magic array definitely couldn’t be built randomly. The higher the place, the easier and faster it was to gather the universe’s energy.
Mike placed his materials on a mountain top.
[Beginner Magic Array: Construction in progress.]
The materials were successfully inserted.
With Mike in the center, purple light emerged from under his feet and spread in all directions. The purple light became more and more dazzling as it expanded. After expanding to a certain scale, it stabilized.
The purple light stopped expanding. Instead, it was solidifying and progressing into the embryonic stage.
Once the embryonic stage had passed, it entered the formation stage.
[Beginner Magic Array: Successfully constructed!]
All the purple light dissipated and everything returned to normal.
It looked like there were no changes to the mountain peak and that there was nothing special about it. However, the invisible magic array had already begun to automatically gather and refine the power of the universe.
Mike could feel changes in the environment around him.
He was getting more and more comfortable.
The usage of skills also started to increase his experience.
Coincidentally, there was an Exotic Beast passing by. Its level was very low, only Level 16. As it approached, the invisible magic array exploded with purple light.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Under the attack of the purple light, the Level 16 beast was instantly killed.
Mike received a reward.
“F*ck…”
Mike was dumbfounded. “The array can even help me automatically clear the surrounding beasts? Doesn’t that mean that I don’t have to do anything but lie here and I’ll get something out of it?”
The effects of the Beginner Magic Array had exceeded Mike’s expectations.
It was awesome!
“The Exotic Beasts killed by the array can be directly harvested for Raw Meat. There’s not even a need for me to collect them.” Mike smiled. “A Level 20 Exotic Beast can produce 100-150 pieces of Raw Meat.”
“Within the array, the purification speed is also faster.”
“Before, I could only purify one piece of meat per second.”
“Now, I can purify ten pieces of meat per second!”
“And it’s even increasing the efficiency of the purification process.”
Everything was getting better and better.
Everything was on the right track.
“Hm?”
Mike had just started to enjoy the comfortable environment within the array not long ago until he noticed that something was amiss.
“Overlord-Tier Exotic Beasts, have you realized that the egg has shattered?” As Mike was at the top of the mountain, he could see his surrounding environments clearly.
He saw that the trees around the spot where the egg had been shattered were swaying.
A myriad of Exotic Beasts was in a frenzy and among them, were Elite and Boss-Tier Exotic Beasts.
