Chapter 378: This promotional event is extremely tempting.
"November 11th, early morning 07:51"
Struggling in a clubhouse, Tuberculosis Rabbit glanced at the time and suddenly snapped to full alertness. He yanked Sword Without End down from a wall with a swift motion.
"Stop fucking around!!!"
"It's almost 8 o'clock, the Singles' Day limited-time event is about to start!"
"What?"
Sword Without End was stunned for a moment, but then quickly came to his senses. He tried to pull Tie Chui, who was plastered against another wall, but after several tugs failed to move him, he couldn't help but curse in frustration.
"Are you fucking serious, man? You got barbs on you or something?"
It was only with Tuberculosis Rabbit's help that they managed to forcibly strip Tie Chui off the wall and dash toward the Garden District.
On the wall where Tie Chui had been clinging, there was a hole of moderate size, and at the moment, a pair of jade legs were sticking out from it, trapped against the wall.
...
Panting and out of breath, Tuberculosis Rabbit and the others finally managed to make it back to their base, the rooftop of the Garden District, just before 8 o'clock.
By that time, Chen Yi and Jiaye were already sitting there waiting for them.
Confronted with Chen Yi's peculiar gaze, Tuberculosis Rabbit felt a chill down his spine and said, trying to sound nonchalant, "Uh, Yi, we went out to a map because Tie Chui wanted to earn some Points. We feared it was dangerous for him to go alone, so we accompanied him."
But the instant after he spoke, Tuberculosis Rabbit couldn't resist slapping himself in the face.
What a shitty excuse that was.
After returning from Awesome Starfield, Yi had distributed over a hundred billion Points to each of them, making the lack of Points excuse seem rather far-fetched.
"Hmm."
Chen Yi didn't say much but looked at his brother-in-law with a complex expression, wondering if these people would be a bad influence on him. His brother-in-law's lifestyle was many times more disciplined than theirs.
He then spoke calmly, "Try to find a girlfriend, straighten out your lifestyle. As a man, you should have a sense of responsibility and not always be messing around outside."
Tuberculosis Rabbit nodded eagerly, looking rather sheepish as he replied, "Yes, yes, yes."
At that moment, Jiaye, standing next to Chen Yi, suddenly said in a distant tone, "I just remembered, it's been a while since I visited the White Phoenix Clan Empress."
"Cough cough!!"
Chen Yi, who was about to add something else, instantly began coughing uncontrollably upon hearing this, feeling his scalp tingle as he prepared to change the subject.
He'd thought Jiaye had forgotten all about it.
Since their last visit to the White Phoenix Clan, he'd deliberately avoided mentioning the subject, and Jiaye hadn't brought it up either. He assumed Jiaye had forgotten, but clearly, he remembered perfectly.
His lifelong reputation seemed to be doomed because of the White Phoenix Clan Empress.
Luckily, at that moment, the time reached 08:00.
An announcement rang out, conveniently extricating him from the awkward situation.
"Ding!"
"Game Event Announcement!"
"From November 11th to November 13th, the 'Double Eleven Singles' Day' special limited-time event officially begins!"
"All players can participate in the event during these three days."
"Event One: Gift Package."
"Every player can purchase one event gift package priced at 1,298 Points, originally priced at 64,800 Points."
"The package includes the following items: one C-grade random Prop, five random Skill Fragments, and one E-grade random Vehicle."
"Each player is limited to one purchase."
"Event Two: Half-Price Sale."
"During the event, all direct-sale items in players' individual panel stores will be sold at half price."
"Event Three: GMV Battle Royale!"
"If the total GMV turnover of Blue Star Mall reaches 100 million Points during the event, all players will receive an E-grade gift package."
"If the total GMV turnover reaches 1 billion Points, all players can receive a C-grade gift package."
"If the total GMV turnover reaches 10 billion Points, all players can receive a random B-grade Prop."
"If the total GMV turnover reaches 100 billion Points, all players can receive a random A-grade Prop, a random A-grade Skill, a Zenith Radiance, a random B-grade Vehicle, and the title 'Power of the Group.'"
"Moreover, during the event, the top hundred contributors to the total turnover will receive special rewards, and the top three will obtain special rare titles and rewards."
"Event Four: Single Noble Battle Royale."
"During the event, all players who haven't spent a romantic night with someone of the opposite sex within the last month will be forcibly bestowed the title 'Single Dog.'"
"Players who have been single since birth will receive the limited edition title 'Single Noble.'"
"We will also generate a Love Rankings based on the number of times all players have dated, with the top three players on the Love Rankings sharing a free tutorial on how to successfully pursue the opposite sex."
"Additionally, every player's head will display their own number of dates."
"Event Five: Surprise Thank-You Event!"
"During the event, all players who have never dated and have never actively pursued love will receive a huge boost in luck, to experience the charm of the Goddess of Luck's favor, along with an exclusive limited-time title—'Self-disciplined Natural-born Single Dog'!"
The event announcement echoed in the ears of all players.
That night, many players either stayed awake or woke up early.
It was a custom on Blue Star.
Whenever a new event announcement dropped or there was an update, players would set aside what they were doing the night before to be ready to hear the announcement first-hand. After all, both announcements and updates often signaled a minor upheaval.
