Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
The next day, Lu Wu was woken up by Bei Li as she hurriedly dragged him in front of the computer.

“What happened?” Lu Wu, half-awake, asked in confusion as he rubbed his eyes.

“Read the comments in the game!” Bei Li said as she put on a grim expression.

Lu Wu fixed his gaze on the monitor and was baffled to see the swamp of comments. His eyes were wide in shock when he read them.

Ye_Xueer_is_the_cutest: “I’m calling for soul coins and offering 500 for one. Besides, the Association of the Guardian Angels is recruiting!”

Watermelon_Taro: “I need soul coins urgently and will pay for all the soul coins you can offer. All the players who have soul coins please message me privately!”

A_Mammoth (aka Li Tianxia): “Association of the Guardian Angels is rubbish. They kill the innocents. Bar the association! Everyone is welcome to join the Avengers!”

Peppa_Boar: “I’m offering 600 for one to buy all the soul coins. I want to kill all the idiots from the Association of the Guardian Angels.”

Sword_In_Hand: “Why can’t I find any method to top up my soul coins on the official website? I want my soul coins!!!!!!!!”

Crayon_Shinchan: “I am offering to buy all, all, all of the soul coins and looking for teammates to join me in completing the Cultivating Side Quest. The netherworld creature is too strong. I’m crying because I’ve been killed thrice.”

Strike_Gold: “The Great Dragon Guild has recruited 100 members. Our president is going to achieve Level 20 soon and is ready to build the first guild in the game. We welcome all the skilled players to join us.”

Invincible_Loneliness: “What can I do? Why is the Gold Farming Workshop keeping all the soul coins? Are they saving the coins to celebrate the new year? I’m making an offer to purchase all the soul coins!”

……

The comments flooded the entire page while new comments continued to show up.

Other than the fight between Ye Xue’er’s Association of the Guardian Angels and Wu Guoyi’s Avengers, all the other players were trying to purchase soul coins.

Lu Wu ran through the comments and realized that the price of soul coins had skyrocketed from 100:1 to 1:700 within merely a few hours under Ye Xue’er’s influence.

Even with this price, a lot of players who were trying to spend money in-game found no place for them to spend it in.
