350 New Years Red Packet Snatching Even (1/2)
Mulan Yue teleported over to Shanhai City and gave Ouyang Shuo a present. She handed him the platinum rank accessory that Chun Shenjun had dropped when he died.
Name: Golden Qilin Seal (Platinum Rank)
Type: Accessory
Specialty: Purify Evil (Doesn't get corrupted; evil avoids you)
Evaluation: A sealed emperor seal. The essence of a country protecting Qilin is needed to unseal it. After it's totally unsealed, it can suppress a country's fortune, a priceless treasure.
Ouyang Shuo trembled; he immediately thought of something—Imperial Jade Seal.
In the last life, Di Chen's Handan City had built a country first. For a lord to establish a country, apart from his rank, he needed two other things—an imperial decree and also an imperial jade seal.
Ouyang Shuo did not expect Chun Shenjun to possess such a treasure.
The loss of the golden Qilin Seal was enough to make Chun Shenjun’s heartache for a long while.
If he knew of the real use of the golden seal, he would probably just burst into tears.
Regretfully, the golden seal needed the injection of Qilin essence to unseal. The Qilin was an ancient prosperity beast. To find one and make it give up itself was harder than ascending the heavens.
The golden Qilin seal was a holy treasure, so one could not place this item into a storage bag. As such, they could only bring it around. If not, Chun Shenjun would not have lost it.
Luckily, the seal was not too large, so Ouyang Shuo could place it in a gold bag, which allowed him to conveniently hang it on his waist.
_Gaia 2nd year 2nd month 20th day, New Year's Eve night._
The Shanhai City's lights shone brightly, and the atmosphere brimmed with the festive spirit
The loud explosions of fireworks filled the air.
In the main hall of the Lord's Manor, Ouyang Shuo welcomed the group of officials.
At both sides, famous figures had lined up.
As the music played and people danced, dish after dish of delicious delicacies were brought up to the tables.
Such a huge feast was something that Ouyang Shuo could not imagine a year ago.
His only regret was that Song Jia was not present. Currently, Song Jia had ventured into a mountain farmer's house. In there, she had spent an unforgettable New Year’s eve night.
Not only Shanhai City, the entire China region was immersed in the Lunar New Year spirit.
This was also the first time the China region players had gathered in the game, so it naturally held a special meaning to them.
Be it the global channel or the forums, both bustled with activity.
In the originally quiet wilderness, one could see flames rise into the air and light up the night sky.
Be it adventure mode players or lord mode players, they all celebrated the New Year in their own way.
The nine system imperial cities bustled with excitement and players pretty much swarmed these places.
Following the customs of the aboriginals, they spent the New Year's Eve with their families. To players, it was truly a different experience.
The New Year’s spirit and feelings had utterly awakened the memories of the players.
Some of the old men were filled with emotions and even secretly wept.
As for the children, they were even happier. All of them formed up into small groups and took small fireworks and firecrackers. They enjoyed a totally different New Year compared to the one they could experience in a modern city.
Bing'er, this little brat, ate a few mouthfuls of food and disappeared like a monkey.
To the kids, this was the happiest of times.
This was also the first time that the China region players could not look at New Year's Eve programs and performances.
Hence, after they finished their New Year's Eve dinner, the players all felt that something was not right. Something felt missing. Furthermore, they did not have any phones and could not grab red packets, so the teens all the more felt that something was off.
Luckily, be it the various large territories or the imperial cities, they all had show platforms that held performances for the people. These events allowed the people to throw away their regrets.
After the feast, the people in the Lord's Manor all walked out to the square to watch the performances.
The performing troupe did not just come from the theatre. There were also troupes that the Chamber of Commerces sponsored. On the other streets, there were also other smaller-sized performance platforms.
As the lord, Ouyang Shuo would naturally enjoy these performances with his people.
After the players had their meals with their family, they all had nothing to do. As such, they went on the forums.
All of the sudden, there were numerous bored people.
At this time, the players hoped that Gaia would hold a New Year’s event.
On the New Year's Eve night, the people would naturally look forward to the Nian beast event.
The only special one was Shanhai City.
Since the Nian beasts had become their city protectors, naturally, no more Nian beasts would come.
To normal players, the Nian Beasts were too rare and not all of them would face these monsters. Some of the players went on the forums and demanded for an event where all players could participate.
In truth, Gaia had really prepared a huge surprise for the players in the China Region.
At 9 PM, a system notification punctually sounded out.
”System Notification: Gaia 2nd year 2nd month 20th day, 9 PM. The Nian Beast ascend on the wilderness. All lords, please prepare!”
……
The Nian Beast event had officially started.
