You Bastards, How Did You Get There Faster Than Me?

"Aren't you in Qi Xie Town? That's so far away!"

Tao Heo reacted out of habit, but he quickly realized.

"Oh, I see. You're going to teleport directly, right!"

The new feature, Heavenly Maiden's Blessing, which is the teleportation function, was something Tao Heo hadn't tried yet.

"Alright, Game Teacher, wait for me. I'm coming right now."

However, it wasn't just Xiao Duan Duan.

Even though it was past three in the morning, because of the Great Jianghu update today, it turned out all the players were staying up all night!

At this moment, dozens of players who already had beta test slots told Game Teacher they would head to Guang Ming Peak immediately. Even those who weren't friends with Game Teacher took the initiative to add him.

"Everyone wants to go to Guang Ming Peak?"

Game Teacher was momentarily stunned. So many people, all wanting to come?

That's quite a stir.

But this was only the beginning.

Game Teacher's friend request notifications suddenly exploded; messages kept pouring in.

"Damn! Why are so many people adding me suddenly? Are there really this many people in the game?"

Game Teacher was dazed by the continuous messages.

"Game Teacher, take me to Guang Ming Peak!"

"Tao Heo, pull me into the group!"

"Finally got into the game! Game Teacher, I love you. Lend me some travel fees to teleport to Guang Ming Peak!"

Looking at each message, PDD was even more stunned.

Impressive!

This time, the damn developer really released quite a few beta slots. But what the hell is with all of you wanting to run to Guang Ming Peak?

Even if it's a grand scene, you don't all have to come just for the interaction, right?

"Brothers, borrowing travel fees is a bit much."

"You just entered the game. What you need to do is practice your martial arts well, you know!"

"The water at Guang Ming Peak is very deep; you won't be able to handle it."

As Tao Heo spoke, he suddenly gave a sly, mischievous laugh. "I have to be the one to help you handle it, He-he-he-he!"

"Exactly. What can you do at Guang Ming Peak when you just started the game?"

"Be good and play in the Beginner Village first. At least get familiar with the game!"

"Low EQ: You have no martial arts and no money, what are you going to do at Guang Ming Peak? I'm not taking you!"

"High EQ: The water at Guang Ming Peak is deep; you can't handle it."

"Hahaha, Game Teacher has a point!"

There were too many players adding Tao Heo; he obviously couldn't lead everyone to Guang Ming Peak. Of course, if they wanted to go on their own, Tao Heo couldn't interfere.

"Let's do this: those who added me before, I'll pull into the group. For the rest, I won't lead you for now. Guang Ming Peak is definitely dangerous. Trust me, I can't treat you as cannon fodder, right?"

As soon as Tao Heo finished speaking, a message from Xiao Duan Duan arrived.

"Tao Heo, I've arrived at Guang Ming Peak. Where are you?"

Game Teacher was suddenly speechless.

He had been rushing as fast as he could, his buttocks hurting from riding, and he was still a distance away from Guang Ming Peak. Yet, Xiao Duan Duan had already arrived?

"Just came from Duan Zi's channel; she's already there, hahaha!"

"This zero-distance teleportation is too awesome. Xiao Duan Duan reached Guang Ming Peak in a second!"

"It's just a bit expensive. Duan Duan spent one tael of silver!"

"Damn, isn't that 1,000 yuan?"

"Can't teleport, can't teleport. No wonder people said they had no travel fees!"

"Principal Wang has gone too!"

"Lao Ba Ba as well!"

Tao Heo couldn't hold back anymore. "Is this teleportation really that fast? No way, brothers, let's go try it too!"

Witnessing Xiao Duan Duan and the others reaching Guang Ming Peak before him, Tao Heo couldn't restrain himself.

At this moment, Tao Heo was at an inn in a small town near Guang Ming Peak. Leaving the hotel, he only needed to ask around to find the center of the town. There stood a statue about five feet tall.

Tao Heo was momentarily dazed.

It was clearly just a statue, yet it gave off an indescribably supreme sense of holiness.

Trying to look closely, he found the statue's face was blurry and indistinguishable; it was simply impossible to see clearly.

But the eyes on the statue were extremely clear, like a high-and-mighty deity looking down coldly upon the mortal world.

"Wow, the developer is really dedicated. This statue looks different..."

As Tao Heo spoke, he was suddenly stunned.

"Brothers, why do I feel like I've seen this statue somewhere before?"

At this time, some community members had already figured it out.

"Isn't this the NPC that appeared at the end of the opening CG?"

"Damn, it really is!"

"Covered in divine light, holy and inviolable. Is this an NPC too?"

"The first time I watched that CG, I was stunned. I definitely wouldn't remember it wrong!"

"Is this NPC actually a real character in the game?"

"What did the update notice say? Divine Kingdom? Heavenly Maiden? Looking down on the mortal world?"

"Heavens, isn't this a Wuxia game? Is there really some kind of Heavenly Maiden?"

"Maybe it's just a background setting?"

This unexpected discovery immediately excited the community. Tao Heo was also surprised, but he felt a sense of sharpness.

Perhaps this Heavenly Maiden wasn't just a background setting. Perhaps she was an extremely important NPC.

But obviously, with the current progress of the players, it was impossible to contact this kind of NPC. This world of Great Jianghu, even now, had only been explored by players at the tip of the iceberg! More mysterious veils were still waiting for the players to slowly uncover!

"Brothers, let's ignore this for now and just treat her as a Teleportation Array."

Tao Heo pulled out his silver and was suddenly stunned again.

"How do you use this Teleportation Array?"

Fortunately, a viewer from Xiao Duan Duan's side came to remind him: "Tao Heo, how can you be so dumb? Just think about it in your heart."

Tao Heo remembered the update notice; praying to this divine statue was just a matter of thinking it in one's heart, wasn't it?

«Your prayer to the Heavenly Maiden has been answered. Zero-distance teleportation to target Guang Ming Peak requires a payment of three taels of white silver. Confirm payment?»

Tao Heo chuckled. "Only three taels? That's too cheap. Pay, pay!"

Instantly, Tao Heo felt it.

A strange, indescribable force enveloped his entire body. ...
