Chapter 110: The Ghost King’s Original Fans
“That’s fine as long as it can be made.” Wu Xian didn’t care about wasting materials.
After all, for him, solving the storage problem had become a necessity.
“Or… how about adding some compatible Divine Power Factors to the pigments?” Xue Lingling suggested thoughtfully.
“Thanks, Master Sister.”
After hanging up the phone, Wu Xian’s eyes lit up.
But finding suitable Divine Power Factors for the Qiankun Bag clearly wasn’t that easy, especially 【Space】 Divine Power Factors, which were absolutely rare among the rare.
But he could change his thought process.
So, he went next door, “Third Master Xue, do you have Synthetic Divine Power Factors for sky attribute and ground attribute over here?”
“What for?”
Third Master Xue, who was seriously sensing the Winged Fire Star Lord Law Network, felt doubt.
“For Scroll Painting pigments.”
Third Master Xue understood and tossed him two crystal bottles with a wave of his hand, “Go on, go on, Old Man is busy.”
Wu Xian happily returned home, having gotten two Divine Power Factors for free, delighted.
With these two Divine Power Factors added, the Qiankun Bag’s success rate could at least increase by twenty percent.
Over the next few days, Wu Xian was completely immersed in the “research and development” work on the 【Qiankun Bag】.
Meanwhile, at the Ghost King Club, after the successful debut, things started getting on track, with all the players shining in regular Individual Ranking Matches thanks to the High-Quality Scroll Paintings.
Especially the young player Zhang Zihao, sweeping the Copper Tier arena with a single Ox Head Yin Marshal.
He had clearly become a rising star in Yaoyang City’s Copper Tier League.
Although Wu Xian was also a player, he didn’t participate in Individual Ranking Matches, and occasionally joining a Battlefield Match was enough.
For one thing, he had no time; for another, as Vice President, he didn’t have the competitive pressure that the players did.
Occasionally showing up in a Battlefield Match to earn some league points was enough to avoid having his player status revoked by the league.
The major clubs in Yaoyang City had recently been somewhat troubled by the Ghost King Club’s momentum.
Though their focus was on the Silver Tier League and they usually didn’t pay much attention to the Copper Tier League side, they couldn’t ignore the unusually high popularity of the Copper Tier League lately.
For one thing, the Ghost King Club was riding high, plus the hype around Wu Xian, the Grassroots Genius Scroll Painter.
For another, something was off with the Silver Tier League recently, with matches frequently upsetting expectations, disappointing many loyal longtime fans.
Put it this way: now even the presidents of the major clubs were suspecting their own players of throwing matches.
No way around it—previously reliable ace players who steadily earned points were losing in increasingly outrageous ways.
Once or twice was fine, maybe a matter of form and luck, but too many times made it hard not to suspect.
Even more outrageous was that other clubs seemed to be experiencing similar issues.
In short, the Silver Tier League now had a somewhat smoky atmosphere, with constant online cursing alongside a sharp drop in livestream popularity.
In contrast, the Copper Tier League was thriving.
Attention and popularity were successively hitting record highs.
The Ghost King Club Official Website’s fan count was skyrocketing, with an unstoppable momentum.
In the Club Official Website discussion area, the number of posts and comments continued to surge.
In just a few days, the reputation of the Ghost King Scroll Painting and the Ten Great Yin Marshals Scroll Paintings began to rapidly ferment.
“Ghost King Club is awesome!”
“Haha, looks like we’re all the lucky ones who grabbed the first-batch Scroll Paintings.”
“As expected from a Scroll Painter who studied at the Undead Dojo, the 【Soul Devouring Ghost King】 is freaking amazing.”
“Yeah, killing Abyssal Monsters feels like killing dogs, one word: satisfying!”
“The 【Three-Eyed Ghost King】 is a godsend support, saved our team a ton on potions.”
“The Scroll Paintings from other clubs before were total trash, I want to return them.”
A knowledgeable guy who’d ventured to a big city chimed in: “Told you, our Yaoyang City only had trash Scroll Paintings, pure money pits, but now we’re at least eating the finer bran.”
“Tsk tsk, what kind of days were we living before.”
“Any villagers with Black and White Impermanence? Group up, group up, I’m dreaming of rampaging with Black and White Impermanence now.”
“Ox Head Yin Marshal is the real man! One stab and they don’t make a sound.”
“The 【Ox Head Village】 and 【Horse Face Village】 discussion groups are almost full, DM to join.”
“Holy crap, when were they created? How didn’t I know? Pull me in quick~ pull me in quick.”
A knowledgeable guy who’d been to a big city saw these forum posts and couldn’t help being sarcastic, “No way~ there are actually people buying those Ten Great Yin Marshals? Scroll Paintings hyped up by topics and gimmicks actually have believers?”
This remark immediately resonated with countless big-city returnees.
“Yeah, Xue Lingling is from the Undead Dojo after all, but what’s with that Wu Xian?”
“Grassroots Genius Scroll Painter? I’ve never heard of any Master Scroll Painter being grassroots.”
“The only thing with any value is his status as Xue Lingling’s disciple, but that’s only after he actually learns something.”
“Ox Head, Horse Face, what crappy names, you guys are just pure oxen and horses!”
“But to be fair, Wu Xian’s performance in the Battlefield Match before was pretty fierce, at least the quality of that High-Tier Scroll Painting of his is top-notch.”
“Wu Xian’s other Scroll Paintings are just for show, anyone who buys them gets scammed.”
“I watched that Ox Head Scroll Painting match too, seems like it’s got something.”
“What can you tell from the Copper Tier League? Typical early-game Scroll Paintings that lose steam later, just wait and see.”
“If you ask me, it’s still Xue Lingling’s Ghost King Series that has real future potential!”
The Ten Great Yin Marshals fans originally didn’t want to respond, but the Ghost King fans’ mockery kept escalating.
“We’re all fans of the same club, what’s there to argue about?”
“Yeah yeah yeah, whoever buys is an idiot~!”
“Please don’t buy the Ten Great Yin Marshals, we want to quietly get rich ourselves.”
“Yeah yeah, my cousins are saving up, don’t want too many orders and miss out.”
“Sorry, I have a Soul Devouring Ghost King too, but the fact is it’s not worth a hair of the Ox Head Yin Marshal.”
“Uh, not quite, I’m a fan of both, got the Soul Devouring Ghost King right away, but it’s a case of each having its strengths with the Ox Head Yin Marshal.”
“Aaah… so annoying, just thinking that soon lots of people will have Black and White Impermanence makes me miserable, do I have some psychological issue?”
“Upstairs, don’t cry, feel the same~!”
“By the way, when is Master Wu starting limited quantity sales? I want to enjoy it a few more days.”
“Unlikely! With so many orders, delivering them all in two or three days, he’s the model worker of model workers, never seen a Scroll Painter with such production volume.”
“So fast? Does that mean my ordered 【Instance】 will arrive soon?”
“Haha, upstairs also upgrading rubbing to Instance? I thought I was the only smart one.”
“Don’t mess around~ the first batch of Instances totals less than a hundred, most in the discussion area are upgrading rubbings to high-quality ones, right?”
“Put it this way, I just took Black and White Impermanence into one Instance and sold my house, ordered six Black and White Impermanence Instances, make a fortune first.”
“Holy crap, why didn’t I think of that!”
“Yeah, cash in now while we can, then we’ll have funds to upgrade to Silver Scrolls later.”
“Uh, weren’t we just arguing with the Ghost King fans next door?”
“Who cares about them, making money is priority!”
“Friendly reminder, with Master Wu’s current output, scalping risk might be a bit high.”
“Joke, Yaoyang City has nearly three million people, can Master Wu fill the market in one go?”
“By the way, who has the 001 【Black and White Impermanence】 Instance? Can we chat privately, price is negotiable.”
“Seems like that player Xue Qingyang has it, used it in yesterday’s match, made me super envious.”
“Sigh, should’ve signed up for the Ghost King Club back then.”
