Chapter 114 – Commanding thousands of girls

Chapter 114 – Commanding thousands of girls

The entire player base of "Tale of Immortal" was stunned.

How did someone manage to acquire three major stores in the city center?

The first suspect was Lin Jichen.

But after some thought, it seemed impossible.

Although Lin Jichen had a lot of reputation, it wasn't nearly enough to buy three major stores.

Each major store required thousands of reputation points.

Lin Jichen had only cleared a few boss first kills; his reputation couldn't be that high.

Many speculated that some wealthy player had found a shortcut to farming reputation, which led to the acquisition of these three stores.

The more they thought about it, the more plausible it seemed, making all the big capitalists even more envious.

They also wanted to invest!

Spirit Stones were easy to handle; they could just spend more money to acquire them.

But reputation was another matter; there were no shortcuts discovered so far.

They desperately wanted to contact the owner of these three stores to ask about the reputation farming method, but the owner remained anonymous, leaving them with no way to inquire.

Many bosses even spent money to buy loudspeakers, broadcasting across the entire server to ask for contact information, willing to pay a hefty price for the method.

Some even wanted to invest in Lin Jichen's store, just like capital investments in the real world.

Even Wang Jinghao from the Eternal Guild bought a server-wide loudspeaker, publicly stating that as long as the person was willing to cooperate, any terms could be discussed.

Unfortunately, no matter what they tried, the anonymous person remained silent.

Only every hour, the same opening advertisement would be broadcasted across the server.

Everyone understood that this person clearly wasn't short of money.

No one else dared to play with server-wide loudspeakers like this.

Moreover, due to their commotion, Lin Jichen's three stores became incredibly popular.

Especially the auction three days later, which would feature Mysterious Grade equipment.

Wealthy individuals from all four states were preparing to pool their money and head to Fengqu City, hoping to bid on that Mysterious Grade equipment.

As a result, the exchange rate between Spirit Stones and real-world currency spiked significantly.

Everyone was buying Spirit Stones, preparing to attend the auction.

Lin Jichen hadn't expected the promotional effect to be this good and was eagerly anticipating the grand opening tomorrow.

"Mr. Lin, those stores aren't yours, are they?"

Jiang Luoyu suddenly messaged him, indicating she had also heard about the three stores in the city center.

Lin Jichen replied without hesitation, "No."

"There are too many artifact cultivators and too few healers in the team. We need at least fifty to a hundred more healers," Lin Jichen told Jiang Luoyu.

Jiang Luoyu nodded and immediately called for more people in the guild channel.

Soon, dozens of cute girls holding umbrella swords arrived on the scene.

"Raise your hand if you've learned the 'Purify' skill," Lin Jichen suddenly asked.

"I have!"

"I know it!"

"I've learned it too."

...

Many healer girls raised their hands, and Lin Jichen counted about eighty of them.

"Raise your hand if you're a Body Cultivator with over 8000 HP."

Immediately, dozens of Body Cultivator girls stepped forward.

Lin Jichen instructed them, "Pair up with a healer and move to the front line."

"Huh? Master Lin, you want healers on the front line?" Su Wanling almost thought she misheard.

In team battles, healers usually stayed in the back to heal...

Lin Jichen explained, "Corpse King Valley is different from regular instances. These high-HP Body Cultivators need to block the most damage and control at the front. Purify is crucial, but its range is too short to be effective from the back; they must be at the front."

"But can the healers survive?" Su Wanling questioned.

"That's why I'll assign some other healers specifically to buff the front-line healers. As long as the Body Cultivators can hold the line, the front-line healers won't take much damage, and with other healers supporting them, it'll be enough."

Su Wanling slapped her forehead, realizing she hadn't thought of that.

No wonder Body Cultivators always struggled to tank monsters.

"You keep commanding; I won't interfere anymore," Su Wanling said with an embarrassed smile, no longer doubting Lin Jichen's team command skills.

Lin Jichen continued organizing.

It took him a full half-hour to arrange the formation and assign tasks to each member.

"This should do it. Everyone must follow orders once inside. Remember, if the monster tide breaks through, don't panic. The front line must hold their ground, even if they die in place. Use all your skills before you fall; that's your mission. Understood?"

"Understood~"

Lin Jichen stood before thousands of girls, like a general giving a final pep talk to his army of maidens.

Thousands of girls responded sweetly.

The scene made the male players from nearby guilds green with envy.

This was too satisfying!

The pinnacle of manhood, right here!
