Chapter 46: Red Lips Temptation

As everyone was eagerly rubbing their hands, Lin Feng announced another promotional event for the pay-to-play system of "The Legend" — "The Legend Night" — which would be held on the evening of November 30th. He also announced that all players who had pre-purchased the game could receive free tickets to "The Legend Night" using the numbers on their prepaid cards. Lin Feng hinted online that there would be a mystery guest that night.

Under Lin Feng's instructions, a GM from his company leaked the information on various forums, telling many "The Legend" players that there would be a cosplay event at "The Legend Night," and the female Taoist from the CG would appear.

This news quickly ignited all "The Legend" forums and QQ groups. Many players speculated whether it would be a real person and how closely they would resemble the CG. Those who supported the idea were naturally elated, and even those who had previously opposed it began to waver. After all, if a real person who looked just like the CG appeared, it would be the best thing for all "The Legend" players.

Amid the heated discussions and anticipation, the sales of prepaid cards soared. The first batch of 100,000 15-yuan 90-hour cards sold out in less than a day, and DingDang.com also sold nearly 20,000 cards of various types. This sales performance left everyone, except Lin Feng, speechless and in disbelief at how a game could attract such疯狂的玩家。

After a preliminary estimate by the accounting department, Lin Feng had already earned over 1.5 million yuan in net profit from just two days of card sales, and "The Legend" had only been in open beta for one month. Lin Feng smiled slightly at the shock of the company's senior executives, such as Liu Yingying and Wu Zhaopu. If "The Legend" didn't make money, why would he have risked a falling out with Park Gwan-ho to secure the full agency rights? After all, Shanda alone paid over 100 million yuan in copyright fees to Wemade Entertainment Co., Ltd. each year, and this game directly propelled Chen Xingqiao to the Forbes China Rich List.

However, I can earn even more than Chen Xingqiao. — Lin Feng smiled confidently and immediately invested the 1.5 million yuan earned from card sales into another project, which would bring another huge profit from "The Legend."

The only headache for Lin Feng was that the initial card sales were so hot that the third floor of the originally reserved anime city was clearly not enough to accommodate the at least 10,000 "The Legend" players. Reluctantly, Lin Feng had to move the entire event to People's Square in Shanghai. However, this also led to complaints from players who had pre-purchased cards to get tickets.

To quell the complaints of players who had pre-purchased cards, Lin Feng announced that 100 lucky winners would be drawn from those who bought cards on-site, and the winners would get the precious opportunity to take a photo with the mystery guest. Additionally, Lin Feng announced that he would collaborate with Tencent to live stream "The Legend Night" that evening, but only players who had pre-purchased "The Legend" cards could watch the video. A random draw of 1,000 lucky viewers would also receive a signed photo of the mystery guest.

This announcement once again ignited all players, including those who were not originally playing "The Legend" but were interested in the female Taoist character played by Li Jiyou in the CG. It also sparked a new wave of card purchases. After all, many players who couldn't make it to Shanghai for "The Legend Night" had bought cards but didn't get the expected benefits, leading to significant complaints. However, this announcement immediately silenced all complaints.

Of course, many "The Legend" players were calling for companions to join them in Shanghai for "The Legend Night," eager to see their goddess in person and verify if she matched the CG, worthy of the title "goddess."

Anticipation, waiting, and longing! — All players and non-players who had purchased cards were eagerly awaiting the evening of November 30th, looking forward to the appearance of the mystery guest, the most mysterious yet most captivating "angel" in recent times, to see if she matched the pure and holy female Taoist in the CG.

By 6:00 PM on November 30th, Lin Feng had sold a total of 230,000 cards of various types, generating over 2.5 million yuan in cash, setting a record for the shortest time to sell prepaid cards in China's online gaming industry. This success was not only due to the charm of "The Legend" but also largely due to the charm of Li Jiyou.

Men, especially otakus, have no resistance to beautiful women, especially those with angelic faces and devilish figures like Li Jiyou.

"How are you feeling? Are you nervous?" Lin Feng looked at Li Jiyou, who was intensively practicing in the dance studio, and asked with concern.

"A little, but I won't let Brother Lin down." Li Jiyou was trying hard to pose in front of the mirror.

The pure and holy Taoist robe made one feel no desire to defile it; the mysterious and seductive mage robe made one want to secretly lift the outer layer; the bold and wild warrior outfit made one feel admiration and a surge of blood, wanting to fight alongside her.

Under Li Jiyou's performance, the charm of the three professions in "The Legend" was fully displayed, leaving Lin Feng deeply impressed. — She was born for the stage, for the audience, for the world. Her beauty belongs to the world, but she belongs to me. — Looking at the beautiful woman before him, Lin Feng felt a surge of pride.

"Wh-what are you looking at?" After a long time, Li Jiyou noticed Lin Feng staring at her intently, her face turning slightly red, and she playfully stomped her foot.

Lin Feng chuckled, walked to Li Jiyou's side, and looked at her, who was drenched in sweat. He felt a pang of pain and gently hugged her, feeling deeply sorry for her hard work during this period for his cause.

Gently lifting Li Jiyou's delicate face, he quietly gazed at her flawless features, gently wiping the sweat from her forehead. Looking at her rosy lips, Lin Feng suddenly felt a strong urge to kiss her, to taste her red lips and the sweet tongue inside.

Lin Feng slightly lowered his head.

Li Jiyou's whole body trembled. She knew what Lin Feng was about to do, having seen it on TV and in magazines. But Li Jiyou had never kissed anyone before; this was her first kiss. As Lin Feng's face drew closer and his lips slightly parted, Li Jiyou felt a strange mix of emotions.

Her heart raced like a deer, her body felt hot, her mouth was dry, and her palms were sweating. She felt a mix of anticipation, shyness, and fear, unsure of what would happen next.

What would a first kiss taste like? Would it be as sweet as honey?

Subconsciously, Li Jiyou tightly closed her eyes, entrusting herself to the man who had saved her and always helped her. She knew this man would never hurt her and was someone she could absolutely trust.

The sweet first kiss of legend! — Li Jiyou was eagerly waiting.

Just then, an inharmonious voice interrupted.
