Chapter 8: Only Fools Would Believe This Game! Reinforcements Arrive!

The official website server of  was really hopeless.

Lin Xian actually waited three minutes for the loading circle to finish spinning before the page finally jumped to a new screen.

A website with a white background and black text, so simple it couldn’t be any more basic.

Lin Xian:

Come on, man, at least put some effort into scamming money!

Where’s your budget and guts for hiring fake reviewers?

He had suspected the other party was a trash company, but he never imagined they were this trash!

A game’s official site, worse than a computer science student’s final project!

No background images, no fancy characters, even the layout was so rough it hurt the eyes.

Just a game title, a game description, and a closed beta sign-up link!

Where are the promo images?

The recommendation videos?

Lin Xian closed the webpage expressionlessly.

He must’ve been kicked in the head by a donkey to even click in!

Whatever little expectation he had before entering the site was now like the water in his brain after wasting three minutes of his life.

Aeltia, Rinwind Plains.

On the Bloodflesh Altar, piles of monster corpses had already been torn apart by the harsh wind until most of them were gone.

“Bang! Bang! Sha, shasha…………”

Along with dull thudding sounds, a figure appeared beside the Bloodflesh Altar at some point.

A man in silver-white armor, looking like a knight.

Brown hair, blue eyes, rugged features—he looked to be around thirty.

In his hand was a rusty shovel, completely out of place with his armor.

He was pounding the stone altar on the ground with it.

He moved fast and hit hard.

Wherever the shovel struck, the stone shattered like tofu.

In the blink of an eye.

He had smashed the altar and begun digging into the earth below.

Right where Leaf Zhi was hiding.

The Guangqiu was the first to notice the disturbance above.

It had been ordered by Leaf Zhi to keep silent and pretend to be a mushroom in the mental sea.

But as the distance between the stranger and Leaf Zhi grew smaller, Guangqiu couldn’t sit still.

It jumped beside the Phantom in Leaf Zhi’s mental sea and shouted anxiously.

“Wake up, someone’s coming!”

As the Divinity of the Light God, it could sense the magical fluctuations from the person above.

The other was a Paladin!

Paladins were definitely Bright Church people!

Not long ago, Guangqiu had seen Leaf Zhi being hunted by the Bright Church.

A Paladin doing manual labor in this godforsaken place could only mean one thing!

They definitely knew Leaf Zhi was down here!

Guangqiu didn’t care about Leaf Zhi’s life or death.

But now their fates were bound; it couldn’t afford not to care!

It blamed itself for making the one-way contract rules too strict.

If Leaf Zhi died, it would die too!

“I told you not to bother me for no reason!”

Leaf Zhi shifted his attention from the game website construction, sounding impatient.

He wasn’t worried about the situation on the surface at all.

“If they were really Church people, they’d have been blown to pieces the moment they tried to destroy the altar!”

Since Leaf Zhi dared hide here, how could he not have left some backup on the surface?

The Magical Curses engraved beneath the altar were enough to make even the Bright Church hesitate to handle them!

Maybe the other side had grown wary after fighting Leaf Zhi for so long.

They’d searched the area for ages, but hadn’t dared touch anything he left behind.

That was probably what gave Guangqiu a false sense of security.

He looked like a mid-level Magician now, but that didn’t mean he was doomed.

Leaf Zhi didn’t bother explaining, and just muted Guangqiu with a command.

Compared to the situation above ground, the progress of promoting  was far more troublesome.

The players online had guessed right—the name was definitely piggybacking off ’s popularity.

But as long as it worked, so what!

Look, even though netizens claimed they’d never give  any traffic, in reality…

Already, 23 people had secretly clicked into his game website, held together by magic!

Not a single person had registered for closed beta, though.

But it was still a good sign!

By constantly injecting magic into the blue Guangqiu, Leaf Zhi had managed to get a pile of Tourist Accounts.

As long as he used classic baiting phrases, righteous netizens would join the fray and keep the comment section alive.

Moreover.

Through Leaf Zhi’s testing, there was a two-to-one time difference between Blue Star and the Aeltia Continent.

Meaning, one day in the Blue Star world equaled two days in Aeltia!

Leaf Zhi had double the time to spar with netizens!

Even though he hadn’t touched the internet in 682 years and didn’t understand any modern slang, with double time and the mental power of a 700-year-old, he could reply to every comment and never lose an argument!

Promotional efficiency: top notch!

With promotion running smoothly, the website construction for  was a constant headache.

Before transmigrating, Leaf Zhi hadn’t even come of age; studying computers was just a hobby.

Picking it up again now, everything was a problem.

Leaf Zhi sighed.

“If only I could just buy a pre-made website.”

Unfortunately, he had no money.

No way to buy one.

Leaf Zhi could only continue building the website with a bitter smile, using online arguments as a distraction.

After wrapping up the last bit of code.

He suddenly realized that thanks to constant magical tweaks, the website had gained an image upload feature.

Which meant.

He could upload Aeltia scene photos to the Blue Star Network!

Leaf Zhi’s eyes sparkled with excitement—then clouded with a headache.

He’d have to add a page for promo images to the game site, too.

Forget it, he’d deal with it later.

Once Leaf Zhi finished his tasks.

The knight on the surface was nearly done digging as well.

Reluctantly, Leaf Zhi left the mental sea.

When he looked up and saw who had arrived, a knowing look appeared in his eyes.

“Well, after waiting a whole day, the reinforcements finally showed up!”

Even after being tormented by coding, Leaf Zhi felt much better.

The muted Guangqiu was full of question marks:???

Reinforcements?

Did it hear wrong?

Or was its understanding of Aeltia’s common tongue messed up?

A Paladin of the Bright Church—Leaf Zhi’s reinforcement?!

Before Guangqiu could find an answer.

Outside, Edegar had already dug up Leaf Zhi’s hand bones.

He glanced emotionlessly at the hand bones squirming for attention, as if he saw nothing, his eyes unreadable.

Then he changed digging points and continued downwards along the exposed bones.

In the mental sea, Leaf Zhi showed off to Guangqiu.

“See? Our own guy.”

Guangqiu watched in shock.

But seeing the silver-white knight’s unsurprised expression, it had no choice but to believe.

The other really was in league with Leaf Zhi.

A knight.

A Paladin, a believer in the Light God.

Had come to save a Necromancer?!

And this was after Leaf Zhi had been wanted by the very same Church!

Aren’t the Undead supposed to be the enemy of all living beings, chased by every race?

Did its understanding of the Aeltia Continent have a bug???
