The two posts in front of him were unknown to others, but for Fang Yu, both held considerable appeal.
Ultimately, Fang Yu decided to first click into the Sunset City post, which was directly related to his own interests.
What immediately struck his eyes was a rough ink painting, with only simple outlines. The style wasnât refined, but it roughly depicted the scene and characters.
As the game became increasingly popular, a group of âbattlefield reportersâ began to emerge among players.
Because the game lacked photograph or screenshot functions, these individuals relied on simple drawing skills to quickly sketch and record interesting occurrences in the game.
The poster was clearly also a battlefield reporter and had directly drawn the scene of refugees gathering outside Sunset Cityâs gate, which frustratingly remained closed.
Then, like a comic strip, a scene was rapidly recorded showing a group of people approaching from behind while guards on the city wall flattered and fawned.
Fang Yu was immediately bewildered; this was precisely what he had just experienced at Sunset Cityâs gate.
However, the poster had clearly villainized his image, depicting himself as a humanoid shadow suddenly attacking the refugees, the wind rising fiercely, followed by an explosion of blood mist and the appearance of demons.
Then, his villainized self started to charge at the demons.
At this point, the free content ended.
If Fang Yu wanted to see the rest of the content, he had to pay.
The one-yuan unlock price was quite affordable.
But Fang Yu didnât pay, as the painting was simply what he had just experienced firsthand.
He thought he might see information about other experts in Sunset City, but instead, he encountered a mirror.
Although he didnât pay, the posterâs final textual addition was free.
"Stunning unrivaled expert in Sunset City! With such techniques and such power, wouldnât oneâs level rise rapidly if apprenticed to him?"
Fang Yu:...
Youâre overthinking it, Iâm just a player; I canât teach you anything.
However, the players commenting below were unanimously in awe, making Fang Yu feel a bit proud.
Could it be that Iâm doing pretty well?
"Wow! Striking Bull from a distance? This personâs strength is definitely at least at the dojo master level!"
"Hurled hundreds of people with a single palm, what kind of battle power is this? I can only handle ten myself now."
"Sunset City isnât far from me; damn, Iâm tempted! Iâll check for any merchants passing by and hitch a ride to seek apprenticeship!"
"If the poster didnât just draw blindly, then this person is very strong! As my master would say, at least a Qi Force expert!"
"Qi Force expert? Whatâs meant by Qi Force?"
"A big shot has appeared! Big shot, take me with you; big shot senior brother, does your master need anyone? Take me along!!!"
"What is this nonsense, clearly fabricated. Battlefield reporters cheating people out of money by making up comic strips donât fool me!"
There were over a hundred more replies, but Fang Yu didnât continue to scroll.
Judging by the forum replies, players generally hadnât reached the level to interact with Qi Force yet.
It seems most players are still relatively low-level, quite far from his own strength.
What caught his attention slightly was that some people replying appeared to be local players from Sunset City, indicating that most, like him, would search for keywords related to their town beyond the popular home page posts to filter specific area content.
Exiting this post, Fang Yu turned his attention to Lei Shenhaoâs post.
Itâs been a while.
The last time he saw Lei Shenhaoâs post, he seemed to be recruiting members to form a guild; wonder how heâs doing now.
Back then, Lei Shenhao was in Rolling Stone City, not Sunset City, suggesting either the two places arenât far apart, he relocated here, or Lei Shenhao met some misfortune.
Opening the post.
At first glance.
Lei Shenhaoâs unique sense of grandeur immediately struck.
"One million bounty for the head of Charming Sword [Gu Feifei], disciple of the White Lotus Sect. This bounty is permanently valid! Bring me his head to claim the reward in person!"
Well, well, well, a million bounty right off the bat, no surprises there for a wealthy heir throwing money in-game.
Just unclear what this person did to offend Lei Shenhao.
And the White Lotus Sect, isnât that... Eastern Gate Orchidâs sect?
For a moment, Fang Yu felt a bit gossipy about Lei Shenhaoâs experiences.
But asking him to delve into Lei Shenhaoâs past posts, he was too lazy for that.
Seeing it on the home page felt fated, so as an acquaintance, heâd check out the fun.
The bounty list was naturally just Lei Shenhaoâs appetizer; the later content was what he mainly posted for.
"Thanks for everyoneâs support; as you probably know, Iâve joined Qingling Taoist Temple, named [Fu Xiayang], and given the Taoist title [Lei Qingzi]. Currently, Iâm helping my master solve problems and managing some resources. Due to recent disturbances in the trade routes outside the city, supplies are scarce, and Iâm urgently seeking a batch of materials listed below. Anyone in Sunset City with materials can come to Qingling Taoist Temple to trade with me, prices are negotiable!"
Then followed a not-too-long list of material exchanges.
Including medicinal herbs, a few minerals, and strange demon materials of the sort unlikely to be available.
