Chapter 88 "Giving You Face, Calling You 'Big Bro'.
```
But it wasn't over yet!
A pillar made of roses suddenly rose beneath Chen Yi's feet at the same time, lifting him into the air alongside Jiaye, standing side by side, less than a meter apart.
Then a prompt sounded in his ear.
"Ding, after a ten-second countdown, Chen Yi, you will have a 10-second global broadcast right. During these 10 seconds, every move you make will be watched by all players around the world, and your voice will also be heard by all players worldwide."
"Please think of your declaration of love during these 10 seconds."
Immediately after, a world announcement once again appeared before all players' eyes.
"Event Announcement: Player 'Chen Yi' is about to declare his love to the lady 'Jiaye'. Let us all witness this beautiful moment together!"
...
"Is this how you show no respect?"
Zhou Ping, who was chatting with his underlings with a smile, had his smile freeze on his face when he heard the prompt by his ear, and slowly sank into contemplation as he looked towards his vehicle's name on the leaderboards.
After a long while, he said in an emotionless soft voice.
"I've already been very humble, haven't I?"
"Give you face, call you 'big bro'."
"Give no face, what are you?"
"Really losing face here."
...
At the same time as the prompt sounded in his ear, Chen Yi was slightly stunned, and then he quickly reacted.
Immediately after—
He activated all the fashion props in his backpack at lightning speed, putting them on, and then frantically wiped his face a few times with his hands, adjusting his facial expression to the best state.
Only then did he take a deep breath and looked towards the countdown, which was at its last second.
...
As the sky countdown was about to end.
Almost all players simultaneously looked up at the sky, gazing at the giant screen beneath the sky filled with flowers.
As the countdown on the screen came to an end, the screen first went black, then suddenly brightened.
Immediately after—
All players saw Chen Yi and Jiaye standing on top of the light pillar. Many players had heard of Chen Yi's name, but this was their first time seeing him in person.
And look at Jiaye: petite and pretty-faced, in a naturally draped and form-fitting camisole dress, which made people feel a surge of protectiveness, while also wanting to pinch her cheeks that seemed almost pinchable enough to squeeze water out of.
Is this the person someone is willing to throw away 100,000 Points for?
In fact, most players were more curious about what a woman that could compel a patron to toss away 100,000 Points looked like. Although seeing her in person didn't disappoint them, they still felt a bit of a letdown.
After all, she was pretty, but she was not quite at the level of a fairy.
When everyone's gaze fell onto Chen Yi standing on the floral pillar, however, they were left puzzled and frozen in place.
They saw Chen Yi, dressed in a green robe, holding a folding fan, his posture as straight as a pine tree, calmly gazing into the distance.
His deep pupils seemed to hide deep thoughts about this era.
Underneath his calm face seemed to be buried endless contemplation about the world.
His left hand hung naturally by his side, right hand holding the fan at his chest.
He looked just like a scholar on his way to the capital city for an examination.
From beginning to end, Chen Yi in the screen maintained that pose without any movement, until in the final second of the footage, he withdrew his gaze from afar.
HHis pupils were deep; his bearing seemed to carry a magnanimous concern for the people of the world. He gazed directly at them through the screen and gave a slight nod.
The angle of the nod was just right.
It was as if a deity was looking down upon the mortal realm, giving a polite nod in response to the gaze of the common folk.
The next second—
"Not bad at all."
Tuberculosis Rabbit looked towards Chen Yi, who was slowly descending with the pillar of Roses and back to the ground, and spoke with some astonishment, "The outfit looks good, quite like a scholarsy type."
"It has a certain... hmm, a scholar who could slay dragons vibe."
"It's not bad, right?"
Chen Yi slightly raised his eyebrows and said, "It's quite fun, isn't it?"
He then turned his head to look at Jiaye beside him and asked with a smile,
"How does it feel, having a global appearance?"
"A bit nervous."
"It's okay, you'll get used to it. I should be able to send you another."
However, just at that moment—
A pillar of Roses surged up under Jiaye's feet once again!
Following that, a world announcement once again rang in everyone's ears!
「Event Announcement: Player 'Sword Without End' stands aloof and high above, enjoying the worship and envy of all players, with a smile that says money is no object, sending 99,999 Roses to Miss Jiaye. Let us pay our utmost respect to both with our gaze!」
As the screen lit up!
Everyone was startled to find that only Sword Without End appeared on the screen; Jiaye was nowhere to be seen, just Sword Without End standing alone atop the Rose pillar in mid-air.
But before people could understand why only Sword Without End was on the screen!
In the scene—
Sword Without End, dressed in pure white Tang attire, lifted his head with an icy expression, staring directly at them with eyes full of murderous intent, and beside him stood the quivering Three-Foot Qingfeng in mid-air!
Before people could react, they suddenly heard a thunderous sound that shook the heart, explosively resounding out of the clear sky in the scene!
The so-called bolt from the blue was nothing more than this!
Immediately, thick dark clouds suddenly gathered above Sword Without End, even pressing down upon the joyful Stars above, making the previously festive scene seem a bit sinister!
Countless lightning dragons tumbled within the clouds, as if at any moment a world-ending bolt could strike down!
This made many players who were looking up at the screen instinctively hold their breath, feeling a subtle, invisible pressure in their hearts!
"Agh!"
A roar filled with fury and bloodlust suddenly erupted in the scene!
Sword Without End was seen soaring into the sky, floating in mid-air, standing right below the dark clouds that overshadowed the sun, as if the whole world only contained these dark clouds and Sword Without End holding the Green Peak!
In the scene.
The man, with a cold expression carrying a scorn for the heavens, stood out in his white Tang attire. In the next second, countless bolts of lightning began emerging from the Green Peak in his hands!
Electricity gathered and extended the length of the blade while rapidly spreading!
In less than two seconds, the blade astonishingly stretched to nearly a kilometer!
From afar.
One could only see a man wielding the nearly kilometer-long Heaven Opening Sword formed from countless bolts of lightning.
"Without Sword Without End, the path of the sword would be eternally like a long night; today, one sword will open the Celestial Gate, and the world shall know Sword Without End!"
Accompanying the man's deep, powerful voice tinged with a scent of blood in the scene.
The very next second—
The scene suddenly switched to a wide angle, revealing Sword Without End holding the thousands of feet long Green Peak, roaring as he slashed at the dark clouds covering the sky above.
"Open Heaven!"
"Break!"
One sword, cleaving the skies!
The dark clouds were immediately cleaved in half by Sword Without End's sword!
As sunlight spilled through,
The screen slowly faded out.
