The next day, Lin Jichen woke up from his sleep and saw the mess on his pants.
Feeling utterly embarrassed, he quickly sneaked into the bathroom to change into a fresh pair.
When he walked out, Gu Qiuxue had already prepared breakfast.
Because of his injured hand, he didn't need to train for the time being.
Lin Jichen sat down to eat.
But since his right hand was hurt, eating with his left hand was quite inconvenient.
Gu Qiuxue, being considerate, picked up the bowl and fed him.
Lin Jichen felt like an emperor, with everything served to him on a silver platter.
This kind of life was simply too wonderful~
After breakfast, Lin Jichen received a call from Ren Lan, asking about his hand.
Lin Jichen said it was fine, but Ren Lan was still worried and said she would come over for a couple of days during the weekend.
Lin Jichen naturally didn't refuse and agreed. After hanging up, he logged into the game just as the update finished.
Meanwhile, Gu Qiuxue, who had gone to the bathroom, accidentally saw the pants in the basket.
She picked them up curiously, and her face instantly turned red with embarrassment before she quickly put them back.
Unaware that his embarrassing moment had been exposed, Lin Jichen had already transformed back into the formidable Lin Jichen in the game.
He logged in right after the update.
Although he was still in the wild, the forums were buzzing with discussions about the update.
Especially the guild creation tokens, which were the highlight.
All the guilds were publicly purchasing guild creation tokens. Anyone who could get one would instantly become a billionaire!
The Moon Shadow Guild even offered a sky-high price of one billion Chinese Yuan for a guild creation token.
Other guilds, though not as extravagant, also offered prices in the hundreds millions, along with a slew of attractive conditions.
For example, joining the guild as a guest elder, receiving a high salary every month, getting a car and a house, and almost promising a woman.
In this frenzy, countless players, studios, and teams started hunting for guild creation tokens, farming bosses at various high-level grinding spots.
The six new secret realms also became a major focus.
The newly added secret realms were all above the Crystal Realm, with the highest being the Gathering Spirit Realm.
A large number of players and guilds were busy exploring these new realms, aiming to set records and farm equipment.
Although Lin Jichen also wanted to farm, he was still outside, collecting materials. He had to wait until he finished off the Ghost Empress.
Seeing him online, Jiang Luoyu sent a message.
"Boss Lin, interested in farming a secret realm?"
Jiang Luoyu's tone had a playful hint.
If you weren't close, you wouldn't see this side of the wealthy Jiang Luoyu.
Lin Jichen smiled and replied, "Of course I'm interested, but I'm still out doing a mission. I'll join you when I get back."
"Alright then. By the way, do you know about the guild creation tokens? Didn't you get a lot of info from Nuwa? Any news on this?"
"You're thinking too much. How would I know? I also want to get a guild creation token."
He couldn't possibly say he knew. If he knew everything, Jiang Luoyu would probably think he was a GM.
"You want a token too? Planning to create a guild?" Jiang Luoyu asked curiously.
"No, I just want to get one and sell it for a fortune."
Jiang Luoyu laughed and teased, "Does the big boss still need money? Which of your shops can't compare to a guild creation token?"
Lin Jichen chuckled awkwardly, "Why not make money if I can? Who would complain about having too much money?"
"Good point. If you get a guild creation token, sell it to me. Name your price and conditions; it'll definitely be better than other guilds."
Lin Jichen agreed. Since he wasn't planning to create a guild, he'd rather sell it to Jiang Luoyu, who was a friend and a wealthy one at that.
"Alright, you get busy. I'll go lead the guild in exploring. By the way, did you see the new rankings? You're at the top of both the wealth and looks rankings. You can't escape the title of Boss Lin now."
After saying this, Jiang Luoyu ended the chat and went off to explore.
Lin Jichen, curious, opened the newly updated rankings. What he saw shocked him.
[Looks Ranking (also known as Handsome Ranking)]
Champion: Tianyan Sword Sect · Lin Jichen
Second Place: Mysterious Daoist Palace · Ni Kun
Third Place: Haotian Sect · Li Mubai
Fourth Place: Saber Sect · Chen Ziyang
Fifth Place: Taibai Sword Sect · Li Yimeng
Sixth Place: Sun-Breaking Arrow Sect · Zhao Xujia
Seventh Place: Crimson Flame Fist Sect · Feng Tian
Eighth Place: Tianyin Temple · Ling Hong
Ninth Place: Sea Split Hammer Sect · Yu Feng
Tenth Place: Mysterious Medical Sect · Baili Lan
Eleventh Place: Star-Gazing Spell Sect · Zhou Jian
He was ranked first on the looks ranking, which was based on innate charm.
Moreover, one had to join a sect and be an adult to be on this list.
His full charm value naturally placed him at the top.
Lin Jichen remembered that no one in the game had ever reached a full charm value.
At least, he hadn't heard of it in his previous life.
Champion: Star-Gazing Spell Sect · Jiang Luoyu
Second Place: Mysterious Medical Sect · Gu Qiuxue
Third Place: Crimson Flame Fist Sect · Ren Woxing
Fourth Place: Tianyin Temple · Chu Hongling
Fifth Place: Flying Star Talisman Sect · Yan Ruyu
Sixth Place: Hundred Flowers Pill Sect · Zhao Baige
Seventh Place: Compassionate Tranquility Nunnery · Feng Zuiyue
Eighth Place: Incense-Burning Zither Sect · Zhan Chenqian
Ninth Place: Saber Sect · Ji Qingzhi
Tenth Place: Tianyan Sword Sect · Su Wanling
Eleventh Place: Shadow Thief Sect · Ling Qing
The beauty ranking was interesting. Out of the top ten, he knew seven of them (facepalm).
Jiang Luoyu topped the list.
Next was the wealth ranking.
Second Place: Jiang Luoyu
Third Place: Wang Jinghao
Fourth Place: Nangong Xiaotian
Fifth Place: Baili Lan
Sixth Place: Tang Manshan
Seventh Place: Ma Yuankun
Eighth Place: Qin Hao
Ninth Place: Zhao Yixue
Eleventh Place: Xu Jiaxiong
The wealth ranking was based solely on the amount of spirit stones in the game.
So it didn't represent actual wealth.
In terms of real wealth, Lin Jichen's money wouldn't even count as a fraction.
The ranking didn't disclose everyone's spirit stone assets in detail, but it was enough to make Lin Jichen speechless.
He couldn't deny it anymore; he was indeed the owner behind the four major golden shops.
Oh well, it was bound to be exposed sooner or later.
The last ranking was the guild ranking.
Most of the names on it were familiar to Lin Jichen.
Champion: Moon Shadow Guild
Second Place: War God Guild
Third Place: Eternal Guild
Fourth Place: Sixth Heaven
Fifth Place: Prosperous Tang Dynasty
Sixth Place: Misty Rain Pavilion
Seventh Place: Alliance of Dominance
Eighth Place: Jialan Temple
Ninth Place: Dream Chaser
Tenth Place: Gods Alliance
Eleventh Place: Blood Fiend Guild
Most of the guilds on this list were well-known in later generations.
However, the Moon Shadow Guild, which was obscure in his previous life, had become the top guild in this life.
After checking all the rankings, Lin Jichen didn't waste any more time and flew at full speed towards Howling Ghost Ridge!
