"Lone Goose, with only your sword, protected me. From today onwards, I am your soldier! Lone Goose, you're awesome!"
"See that? See that?! This is the prestige of our Salted Fish Gang, the prestige of being number one on the power ranking!"
A series of glittering golden megaphones with special effects flashed across the screen, silencing the entire world channel for a moment before erupting into chaos.
"Here we go again! The chatterbox and her boss accessory."
"Tsk, having a big shot to guide you means you can do whatever you want."
"I bet five cents that someone with Gu Hong's icy and cold personality would definitely want to mute the world channel right now."
"Xi Bao, do you have to be so dramatic!"
"My brother is super shy... hahaha!"
In the team chat, Ling Wei was laughing so hard she was slapping the table.
"This is a heartfelt compliment; the big boss saved us!"
"Gratitude is a traditional virtue!"
Zi Xi spoke with righteous indignation.
Unbeknownst to her, on the other side of the screen, Ling Chen was watching the world's most exaggerated compliments, his fingers tightening slightly as he gripped the mouse.
The straightforward praise made him feel somewhat overwhelmed.
He was accustomed to silent neglect, or even malicious speculation.
But I'm not used to such unreserved affirmation.
Because of his fake young master status, he suffered cold treatment and abuse in his adoptive parents' home during his childhood.
After returning to the wealthy Ling family, he faced rejection from his blood relatives and scrutiny from the fake young master about his motives.
The stronger his abilities and the higher his status, the more he is surrounded by awe, jealousy, or scheming.
"No one will genuinely like me."
“In their eyes, I am nothing more than a useful tool that allows them to live a carefree life abroad.”
"Besides my grandparents and sister, who would want to get close to someone like me?"
Those unpleasant memories seemed to be dissolving his happy emotions.
That little musician... her praise, though exaggerated, revealed a pure sincerity and warmth.
He's not a very warm-hearted person.
But in Xi Yan's eyes, she seemed to genuinely think that he was really amazing and a really good person.
Just as Ling Chen was lost in thought, Ling Wei's voice came through the audio.
"My milk tea has arrived. I'm going downstairs to pick it up. I'll be right back..."
After saying that, Yao Guang stood still.
Only Xiyan and Guhong remained in the team, standing in a corner of the newly cleaned dungeon, creating an eerily quiet atmosphere.
"Um... Boss, I really owe you a lot just now!"
Zi Xi felt a little awkward and tried to make conversation.
Before she could finish speaking, a transaction request suddenly popped up.
It was sent by Gu Hong.
Zi Xi clicked "agree" with a puzzled look.
Then, in the trade window, Gu Hong put up a rare material called [Thunder Beast Wings] that was flashing with purple electric arcs.
This is an essential material for upgrading top-tier weapons in the current version, and it's extremely rare and expensive.
"Big boss? This is too valuable, I can't accept it!"
Zi Xi was truly shocked.
The Thunder Beast Wings auction house sells for 200 million copper coins, which can be exchanged for real money.
That's at least tens of thousands of yuan!
Zi Xi quickly clicked cancel.
Gu Hong sent another trade request, still offering the [Thunder Beast Wings].
Gu Hong typed: "I'm very happy, so this is a reward for you. Please accept it."
