The moment this topic was brought up, it naturally sparked the interest of many people, and more joined in the discussion, making the chat channel even livelier.
"Li Changlin, can you pull us up on the mic sequence?" Melbourne Love appeared to hold the highest status among the three, and after they had sent a series of gifts to Li Changlin, Melbourne Love represented them by posting a message in the chat channel.
Being a Marquis, the system would pause for five seconds every time Melbourne Love spoke in the chat channel, and the font of their messages would be colored. Aside from certain colors restricted by the system, Melbourne could freely combine others.
So even if Li Changlin hadn’t seen their message, Li Siqi, who was an administrator, promptly captured the information and sent it to Li Changlin via private chat.
"Join the mic sequence? Why?" Even if Li Siqi hadn’t sent a private message, Li Changlin had already seen what Melbourne Love had posted, but even if he had an inkling about the situation, he couldn’t reveal it.
After all, they had used dummy accounts to compete in gifting against Melbourne Love and their group that afternoon.
If this were to come out, it would surely be mistaken by the Feixue Legion as Li Changlin intentionally targeting Melbourne Love and their group.
If the matter blew up, it certainly wouldn’t be to Li Changlin’s benefit. Although he now had Feng Xu’s somewhat conflicted support on stage and wasn’t afraid of the Feixue Legion causing trouble, it still seemed pointless.
After all, the Li Changlin of today was very different from before.
Having established his own family, he planned to make a name for himself on the Endless live streaming platform. Once his contract with the Wuxiang Legion expired, he even intended to hire hosts to grow his own brand.
If he seriously offended the Feixue Legion, not to mention having a hard time on the Endless platform, even the hosts he would later recruit might face various troubles.
"We lost a bet to three dummy accounts this afternoon and were asked to speak up in your mic sequence," Melbourne Love knew they couldn’t hide this, so they simply bit the bullet and admitted frankly.
"What, you lost to dummy accounts?"
"Are you kidding, Melbourne Love? You’re at least a Grand Marshal, and the other two are Marquises. How could you be defeated by three dummy accounts!"
"Exactly, I don’t believe it. That’s just ridiculous!"
"Don’t be unbelievers. I was there at the time, and Melbourne Love’s group really did lose. One of the dummy accounts, called ’Starry,’ sent out 1888 bottles of perfume at once, almost blinding my dog eyes!"
"Dog eyes? That’s a pretty apt description from the person above."
"Okay, okay, what the heck, but seriously, someone above said an account called ’Starry’ actually sent 1888 bottles of perfume at once? That’s terrifying. Isn’t the maximum one can send at a time only 188 bottles?"
"You think I’m bluffing? If I were lying, may I die without a household. This isn’t something only I witnessed; you can ask others or directly ask the trio including Melbourne Love."
Mention of the 1888 bottles of perfume was hardly believed by anyone.
If it wasn’t for the witnesses, even Li Changlin himself would have thought it was a joke.
To be aware, 1888 bottles of perfume equals almost 100,000 units of a huge sum. On the Endless platform, the most one can send at one time is usually up to 10,000 units.
Of course, there is a special privilege for certain players who can gift up to 15,000 or even 20,000 units.
But nearly 100,000 units, no one in the room had ever heard of such a thing.
Even the platform’s top wealthy user, ’Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing,’ doesn’t seem to have this kind of privilege.
It’s known that the person who spoke in the chat channel pointed out that Starry was just a dummy account.
This completely defies logic, how could a dummy account have such high privileges? They must have used some kind of auxiliary software!
Not only the players who just learned about this but even those who knew the situation early on still felt it was incredible.
But the problem is the facts lay plainly before everyone, leaving them with no choice but to believe it.
"It’s true, and we were so astonished when the other side sent so many gifts all at once that we couldn’t believe it. So, we reported the incident to Endless live broadcast, but in the end, the official response was that Starry had not used any cheats!" Seeing the disbelief in the chat channel, Melbourne Love quickly posted another message what happened.
The matter was indeed too strange. Even as a direct witness, Melbourne still found it unbelievable and unimaginable.
Even if Starry had a main account with authorization, it couldn’t be this incredible!
On the entire Endless platform, perhaps only Feng Xu with a slight struggle might have such high authority, if at all!
Moreover, if the other party really was Feng Xu with a slight struggle, why would he play with a dummy account to show off? Flaunting his main account was already a form of invisible boasting; there was no need for that!
Thus, Melbourne Love was utterly baffled as to who this mysterious person could be—it was just too weird!
As Melbourne Love pondered over Feng Xu with a slight struggle, his satellite phone suddenly rang.
"This is Orange." This phone was provided to him by the organization, and within the organization, his code name was Orange.
"Zhou Xingxing has returned to the country; he’s currently in Jincheng, Nanfu Province. Get over there immediately and try to recruit him into our organization," the voice on the other end commanded with authority and seriousness.
Feng Xu with a slight struggle was momentarily taken aback, then quickly responded with an affirmative.
The other side did not indulge in idle talk. Upon hearing Feng Xu’s confirmation, they hung up the phone.
Feng Xu, unfazed by the unusual interaction, stowed away the satellite phone and stepped out of the villa.
Zhou Xingxing, oblivious to all this, was savoring the moment as he looked at his computer screen. Under Melbourne Love’s persistent persuasion, Li Changlin reluctantly pulled him onto the mic sequence.
"Thank you, Li Changlin." Once on the mic sequence, Melbourne Love began with a word of gratitude, then continued, "What I’m going to say next does not reflect my true thoughts. I’m saying it because I lost a bet and was asked by my old Gong to say it, so I hope, Li Changlin, you won’t be upset."
