Chapter 331: Zhao Qinghe’s Mind Explodes
“There are, there are. I thought I was the only one feeling this way. It seems that any Undead-type Scroll Painting has this feeling.”
“According to my analysis, this should be a kind of high-level Undead Domain Concept’s macroscopic influence on ordinary concepts.”
“That’s right,” a knowledgeable guy popped up and said: “I’m not talented, just a half-baked Scroll Painter, and I have deep feelings about this. It’s like people striving for higher places, water flowing to low places, big fish eating small fish.
High-level Concepts can subtly influence low-level Concepts.”
“Yes, yes, yes. The Divine Domain System is essentially based on this principle, with high-level Concepts driving low-level Concepts.”
“Tsk tsk, a Domain Instance with extra revenue—it’s unreasonable if it doesn’t become popular!”
“If it weren’t for the club’s strict order, I’d really want to go to the 【Underworld】 every day to experience and comprehend it.”
“Isn’t that the truth? I only have time after work to sneak in a visit.”
There’s a saying that goes well: Gold will always shine.
Netizens who have experienced the Underworld basically all turn into voluntary promoters, heading to various social platforms to share recommendations.
And as the 【Underworld】 ranking gradually stabilizes, various factions have also noticed this peculiar Domain Scroll Painting.
After all, anything that can enter the Top 100 on the list is a high-quality Domain Scroll Painting.
Major forces are even using this to attract and recruit talent.
You know, Domain Scroll Paintings are the ones that best reflect a Scroll Painter’s level.
Sure enough, on the forum dedicated to Scroll Painters, people have already started discussing it.
“Underworld Club? The emerging club over in Tianfeng Province?”
“The Hero Tower Update for Level Thirty-five seemed to start from Tianfeng Province.”
“Could it be because of this Domain Scroll Painting?”
“Holy crap, with talent like this, all the Dojos and forces must be going crazy trying to snatch them up?”
“I reckon the major forces are already secretly competing for people.”
“Comparing people is infuriating.”
“I’ve already inquired— the president of the Underworld Club is called Xue Lingling, a graduate of the Undead Dojo.”
“So she’s a top student from the Undead Dojo? No wonder.”
“Now I feel much more balanced inside.”
“The Undead Dojo is producing talent, and top-tier talent at that.”
“By the way, has anyone experienced that 【Underworld】 instance? How does it feel?”
“One word: Astonishing!”
“What do you mean upstairs? Tell us in detail!”
“It’s hard to describe specifically. Go experience it yourselves,” a certain ordinary Scroll Painter sighed: “All I can say is, we ordinary folks really aren’t suited for the path of Scroll Painters.”
“Holy crap! What the hell? Are you struck down?”
“It’s just a Domain Instance, is it that big a deal? What about us Scroll Painters’ Dao Hearts?”
“Dao Heart? Heh,” the ordinary Scroll Painter smiled bitterly: “You’ll understand what gap and despair mean after you experience it.”
“If you put it that way, I really have to go experience it.”
“Together, together.”
…
Undead Dojo, Zhao Family.
Nowadays, Zhao Qinghe is riding high, and the family club is thriving under his support.
Plus with the Abyss Demon Lord tailwind, he has clearly become a rising star within the province.
He was once just a Noble Family Prodigy, but now he is already a somewhat famous genius Scroll Painter in the industry.
However, ever since the Hero Tower Update to the Domain Ranking a couple of days ago, the previously high-spirited Zhao Qinghe suddenly felt a bit depressed.
Originally, he was just keeping an eye on the top talents on the Domain Ranking to recruit some for the family.
The 【Underworld】, as an Undead-style Domain Scroll Painting, naturally caught his attention.
However, after investigating the background of the 【Underworld】, Zhao Qinghe froze stiff.
“No way, why her, that dead girl?”
Zhao Qinghe couldn’t understand it, couldn’t accept it.
Not long ago, he had also created his own Domain Scroll Painting, but unfortunately, it didn’t even qualify for the list, nowhere near meeting the Hero Tower’s minimum requirements.
Yet, the Xue Family “siblings” not only successfully got included in the Hero Tower but even made it into the Top 100 ranking.
This dealt a fatal blow to the pride and confidence he had just built up recently.
Subconsciously, he recalled the fear of once being dominated by Wu Xian.
“Impossible, absolutely impossible, this isn’t scientific!”
The more Zhao Qinghe thought, the angrier he got, so he rushed back to the family to discuss with his father Zhao Gao.
Upon learning the situation, Zhao Gao was equally shocked. “Tsk~ It seems the Xue Family is really about to become energetic this generation. By the way, the Hero Tower Update for Level Thirty-five not long ago also started from Tianfeng Province, right?”
“You mean that previous Hero Tower Update was related to them?” Zhao Qinghe was shocked, his mentality faintly collapsing.
“Most likely, after all, layers thirty-one to thirty-five at the time were clearly dominated by Undead System maps.” Zhao Gao frowned and analyzed: “Just didn’t expect it to be the work of that little girl from the Xue Family.”
Back when he was studying at the Undead Dojo, Xue Lingling was excellent but not particularly standout.
Now he realized that girl was hiding her true depths.
The Xue Family even had an even more outstanding little brother.
Not long after, out of curiosity, the father and son duo entered the 【Underworld】 together for an experience.
After coming out, their moods were heavier than ever, shock evident on their faces.
Not to mention Zhao Qinghe—even Zhao Gao, the pillar of the Zhao Family, was struck.
Though the Domain was still just a half-finished product, the prestige and potential it revealed were enough to make his back run cold.
…
In the following days, the reputation of the 【Underworld】 Domain Instance rapidly fermented.
Its popularity grew day by day through word-of-mouth from voluntary promoters, and its ranking soon reached seventieth place.
At the Underworld Club, Xue Lingling was overjoyed, constantly refreshing the Domain Ranking, expecting the 【Underworld】 to advance further.
The club official website also saw a surge of voluntary promoter fans.
The calls for 【Underworld】 updates grew increasingly intense.
Everyone was extremely frustrated by the abrupt end to the Underworld experience.
Even the Gacha System saw a surge in revenue, and this cancerous Gacha System began spreading to other cities, even some places outside the province.
Meanwhile, Wu Xian and Xue Lingling had already completed their preparations.
These days, through the Hero Points exchange system, the Association Treasuries in surrounding cities, and Chamber of Commerce channels, they had gathered a large amount of Domain Materials.
At this moment, everything was ready—all that was needed was the east wind!
“Let’s begin,” Wu Xian sat across from Xue Lingling, unhurriedly saying: “It’s also time to add some fuel to the popularity of the 【Underworld】.”
“Mm!” Xue Lingling nodded excitedly.
With an exchanged glance, the two simultaneously pulled out their respective Domain Scroll Paintings and began reconstructing and continuing them.
And Master Sister’s 【Taoshi Mountain】 should also be formally renamed to 【Netherworld Underworld】.
Wu Xian’s 【Underworld】 corresponded to the official positions and government institutions of the Underworld, while Xue Lingling’s 【Netherworld Underworld】 corresponded to the vast world of the Underworld—the two complemented each other, together outlining a posthumous netherworld.
