"Holy crap, I've discovered something incredible!"
"Calm down, what's with the fuss? It's late at night, I thought you saw a ghost!"
"Take a look at the power ranking chart!"
"What's there to see? It's always the same familiar faces on the power ranking chart. It's still the same group of people!"
"Look again!"
"Are you crazy? What's so special about this? Dou Youyou is ranked first with 15,200 power points. The second ranked player, Tian... Damn, what's going on? 15,200 power points!"
"Isn't that right? I remember Dou Youyou only had over 4,000 power points this morning. She's gained over 10,000 points in one go! Did she get a divine artifact?"
"Holy cow, that's too insane. Check out the equipment ranking chart. Sure enough, Dou Youyou's new equipment is already ranked ahead of her staff. It's an outfit, and it's a limited edition. Holy crap, these stats are heaven-defying!"
"Damn it, what's the point of playing anymore!"
"This is simply monstrous!"
In an instant, Dou Youyou's power surging by over ten thousand points spread throughout the entire server.
The forums went crazy.
"What's going on? I remember Dou Youyou's birthday was today, and she wasn't online all day. How did her power change so drastically as soon as she logged in? Could it be a birthday gift from the game's operators?"
"You're full of crap. While Dou Youyou is skilled, the game officials wouldn't need to cater to her. Besides, the game officials can't just spawn items in the game, right? Everyone knows that!"
"This is terrifying. With her having 15,000 power points alone, aren't other players mere dust in front of her!"
"Pfft, as if you weren't dust in front of her before!"
"Uh... that actually sounds about right!"
"But that limited edition outfit is too terrifying. The scariest thing is that this equipment has no level requirement, and even its quality isn't specified, yet it can add over 10,000 power points. You can see how terrifying it is!"
"Alas, comparing oneself to others is maddening. She was already the server's top player, and now with the second-ranked player, Tian Qi Huang, there's no way he can catch up!"
Tian Qi Huang had already gone offline to rest, but after receiving a message from his subordinate, he quickly logged back in.
Seeing Dou Youyou's power surge by over ten thousand points, his emotions were churning like a turbulent sea.
He had gathered the strength of his entire guild to build his strongest fighter, and the gap between him and Dou Youyou was less than 1,000 power points.
He estimated that in another week, he should be able to surpass Dou Youyou and become the server's number one, and then his Tian Qi Dynasty would once again hold the initiative.
Now, with Dou Youyou's power skyrocketing, he had no chance at all.
"Damn it, how did she get this item? Could it be that damned village chief who gave it to her again!"
You're clever, kid. It was indeed given by her master.
At this moment, Dou Youyou, the protagonist of this event, finally felt at ease with Zhang Pingfan's comfort.
Not long after, she logged off to rest.
Since it was Dou Youyou's birthday, she wasn't required to stay online to level up and could log off early to rest.
As soon as Dou Youyou exited the game, she saw her sister eagerly sitting next to her.
"Youyou, what's going on? Your power suddenly surged by over ten thousand!"
Dou Youyou was a bit confused because she was too busy being happy to check her stats.
"Sister, what are you talking about?"
"You don't know? The limited edition outfit you're wearing, you don't know about it?"
Dou Youyou smiled and said, "You mean the birthday gift from Master? I really like it!"
As expected, it was her master's doing again.
"Youyou, you don't know that outfit added over ten thousand power points to you! The entire forum is discussing your outfit right now!"
"What? That outfit added so much power? I was too focused on how good it looked, I didn't check the stats!"
Dou Junwan shook her head helplessly. This girl was probably completely smitten by her master.
"Youyou, look at your sister..."
Dou Youyou interrupted, "Sister, I'm a bit tired. I want to rest!"
Dou Junwan didn't feel right about continuing the conversation. She was already feeling a bit jealous of Dou Youyou's current situation.
Her master treated her so well, so asking for a few pieces of equipment shouldn't be a problem, right? Besides, it was for the Dou family.
Her master was so good to her sister, he must have feelings for her sister, so asking for some equipment wasn't unreasonable.
Seeing Dou Youyou lying in bed with her back to her, Dou Junwan withdrew from the room.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Dou Youyou finally sat up.
Although she wanted to share with her sister, Master was hers alone, and no one could share him with her.
Dou Youyou's equipment had caused significant controversy and also attracted the covetous gaze of many.
Following the appearance of this equipment, various factions began to harbor their own intentions.
The free-loading faction, as the most despicable existence in the online gaming world, even though they had suffered a great loss at Dou Youyou's hands for the first time, it didn't mean they had no further plans for her.
Especially for this piece of equipment, if they managed to pull off a big heist and the equipment dropped, they could even retire directly.
"Boss, how is it? What did the patron say?"
"The risk is too great, I need to think carefully. If we really go up against Dou Youyou, it won't just be a simple team wipe!"
"What are you afraid of, big brother? As long as this job is successful, we'll have endless money. Why play this crappy game anymore?"
"I know. We were instantly wiped out when Dou Youyou had over 3,000 power points before. Now that she has 15,000 power points, no matter how many of us go, we'll all die. Our faction alone isn't enough. Unless the three major guilds cooperate with us!"
"This..."
Dou Youyou's equipment was too tempting.
A well-known young lady from Kyoto had specifically requested this piece of equipment. While they had coveted Dou Youyou's previous equipment, its stats didn't match, so they were too lazy to use their own strength.
But this time it was different.
The power boost from this outfit was too terrifying.
This made many people impatient.
It was already past midnight.
Dou Youyou's father received a call from Kyoto.
"Dou Jianhua, this is the Li family from Kyoto. Our young lady has taken a liking to an equipment item on Dou Youyou, the Mystic Ice Dragon Scale Armor. Our Li family is willing to offer one million to purchase it!"
"Ah, Lord Li Fu, is that you? No problem, it's just an outfit, it's fine to give it to the young lady!"
Li Fu said, "Our young lady said that one million is for the purchase, not for you to give it away. If you are willing to sell it, our Li family can cooperate with your Dou family outside of Kyoto!"
Dou Jianhua was excited. If they could latch onto the great tree that was the Li family of Kyoto, then their Dou family would truly rise.
"Alright, one million it is. When do you need it?"
"Tomorrow, perhaps!"
"Okay, tomorrow we will definitely deliver that equipment to the young lady!"
"Mm!"
Although Dou Jianhua didn't know the actual value of this equipment, being able to attach themselves to the Li family made this equipment worth it.
The next morning, a heated argument broke out in the Dou family's hall.
