Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 216 Hu Yanfei's Collapse
Of course, it's not just those lucky guys from out of town who were "addicted" to gacha pulls these days.

There are also countless anime and manga fans from major cities in Tianfeng Province.

Since the appearance of the Star Gods and Judge Gods, they have been spreading like wildfire in the anime and manga community.

Many anime fans are spending money like crazy in order to get closer to their idols. Some wealthy girls are even too lazy to redeem points or buy them in the trading area.

Just keep hitting it!
Because in their view, it is an honor to personally pull out their idol, and it is also a manifestation of their destiny with their idol.

All I can say is: making money in the world of anime and manga is fucking easy!

However, this matter has also attracted the attention of some idol picture book clubs. Many idol clubs are secretly itching to get rid of it. It is said that they have formed a "demon-slaying" alliance and started a public opinion war in various media and channels.

However, the eyes of the people are discerning.

No matter how much these idol clubs struggle, the Star Gods and Judge Gods are still more handsome and stronger than them.

This is something that cannot be changed no matter what.

Wu Xian arrived at the club early in the morning. The club was truly changing every day, with all kinds of departments and the number of employees increasing daily.

Who can blame us when our club has money now?
On the one hand, the gacha system is incredibly good at making money; on the other hand, Xue Zhengying's fans are showering him with endorsements, business deals, and sponsorships. Now even the cleaning ladies and doormen are getting the best treatment.

In addition, the pseudo-Fat Donglai model "developed" by Wu Xian resulted in employees having an absurdly high level of enthusiasm and initiative.

They all treated the club like their own home.

The employees looked at him as if they were seeing a "god," their respect and admiration almost overflowing. They addressed him as "Vice President" with great affection.

Wu Xian greeted the employees along the way and came to the Network Department. He handed the newly completed sketch of the "Higanbana" girl to Supervisor Du and asked them to put Higanbana into the card pool.

"Uh, doesn't it look a bit like our president?" Manager Du looked at the final draft of the spider lily with a strange expression.

The staff members nearby also gathered around to watch, and well, it does look somewhat similar.

"Similar styles...similar styles," Wu Xian awkwardly changed the subject, "By the way, where's the president? I haven't seen her."

"I was dragged off to shoot an advertisement first thing this morning."

"Oh, okay," Wu Xian said knowingly, "You guys go ahead with your work, I have a match to play later."

Manager Du nodded and said, "Do you need help boosting your popularity? I think the suggestions from netizens last time were great. We could do a giveaway in the live stream and give away one or two tickets or something."

“…” Wu Xian shook his head and smiled, “There’s no need for that for now.”

After leaving the network department, I turned around and went to check on my two good-for-nothing apprentices.

It's fair to say that no one can be in a good mood when they're being treated like a beast of burden.

His two obedient disciples were clearly getting depressed from all the painting "orders".

After all, they were his own disciples, so he had to give them a pep talk. He directly granted each of them 1,000 hours of use time in the [Laurel Tree] cultivation pod. The two obedient disciples instantly perked up and thanked him repeatedly.

"Godfather~ Godfather~!"

Just as I was getting ready to wait for today's competition to begin, I heard Huang Lili shouting behind me.

Looking back, I saw that Huang Lili was accompanied by two pretty girls.

"Let me introduce you, Wang Ling and Liu Zihan are my best friends who have been with me since childhood." Huang Lili introduced them enthusiastically, "They are both here because of our male god, and they are both very excellent club players."

"Uh," Wu Xian said with a strange expression, "You want to come to our club?"

Wang Ling and Liu Zihan looked excited. "Don't worry, we've already completed the transfer procedures."

Although Wu Xian was somewhat amused and exasperated, he still accepted these two contestants who knew him well.

After all, the club is in dire need of players.

"Come on, let me show you our club's invincible training chamber." Huang Lili happily led her two girlfriends on a tour.

Meanwhile, the countdown to the match has begun.

Since it wasn't their debut, there was no need to take it as seriously as last time. Just as the match was about to begin, another unexpected problem arose.

Just then, Xue Qingyang rushed over in a panic, shouting, "Brother Wu, something terrible has happened! The Divine Dog Club is causing trouble at our outpost again!"

"Huh?" Wu Xian's face darkened. "How many people have come? Can Second Brother hold them off?"

“My second uncle is naturally fine,” Xue Qingyang explained, “and Chairman Cui happens to be here as well.”

"President Cui is here too?" Wu Xian was surprised, but then felt much more at ease.

"They said you asked him to go and help."

"..." Wu Xian's expression was strange.

He asked Chairman Cui to go and help? How come he didn't know?

With Cui Wenxuan in charge, there shouldn't be any major problems, especially since the Underworld outpost now has nearly 100,000 troops.

But with his mentor sister not around right now, as the vice president and the original author of the outpost, he still had to go and check on her.

"Wait a minute, I'll finish this quickly!"

As they spoke, the countdown to the start of the match was almost over.

Xue Qingyang, realizing the situation, opened the live broadcast room for the match. Since he had nothing else to do, he figured he might as well watch Wu Xian's match.

"Holy crap, why are there so many people? Could it be some kind of god-like opponent again?"

While Wu Xian was still in a daze, he was already teleported into the arena.

On the other side of Hero Island, the opponents also entered the arena at the same time, bringing with them a strong sense of resentment.

"Brother Huyan?" Upon recognizing his opponent as Huyan Fei, Wu Xian couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "What a coincidence!"

But Hu Yanfei's expression was stiff, and he looked deeply resentful.

"Uh, Brother Huyan, what's with that expression? Did I offend you in any way?" Wu Xian was completely confused.

"Yeah, what a coincidence!" Hu Yanfei gritted his teeth. "I was just looking for a place to confront you. Your lousy gacha system is a bottomless pit, a garbage system that rips people off without leaving a trace. Ahhh, I'm so curious!"

These past two days, Hu Yanfei has been driven completely crazy by the gacha system.

So much money was poured in, and we didn't even see a trace of a gold certificate.

The fact that a few lucky players kept popping up in the club's card-showing section made his already frantic mood even more unbearable.

It's not that I'm heartbroken about the money, the problem is that so much money has been poured in, and I haven't even seen a single cent in return.

After several days of topping up and drawing cards, my hands are cramping from clicking so much.

It's so tough!

"Can't you even give the Gold Coin gacha pool a pity system? Huh? Isn't this just pure money-grabbing?"

Wu Xian suddenly realized that the card-drawing system had crashed the system.

The point is, we didn't beg you to draw cards, you just couldn't control yourself, okay?
If you want gold scrolls, why don't you just come to the Underworld Club?
Moreover, this guy's destiny lies with the Four Little Gods of Wealth, not in the card pool at all, so it would be a miracle if he could draw him.

“Ahem, well… we can talk about the card-drawing issue another time,” Wu Xian said seriously. “I have urgent business to attend to. Let’s get to the competition and finish this quickly.”

As he spoke, he pulled out Pleiades Star Lord, Loujin Star Lord, and Pillar Brother.

But Hu Yanfei was still reeling from his emotional breakdown. "I know I can't beat you, but I just want an explanation on behalf of all consumers. Why isn't there a guaranteed reward in the Gold Coin gacha pool?"

"..."

Wu Xian had no time to waste words with him. After a light sigh, the three golden scrolls immediately began to work.

Hu Yanfei, who was still insisting on demanding an explanation, was stunned. The three "fierce and menacing" golden scrolls were already within reach.
