Chapter 275: Ji Ming, the Crooked‑Neck Tree, Where Are My Stockings!

Since we can finally enable the big account in a reasonable way, the rest is simple.

The god‑chosen adult who worries for the country and the people entered the meeting room, and at a glance, amidst the players' long and short weapons, he saw that there had once been evil god activity here.

Moreover, the lingering aura is extremely similar to the incarnation of the evil god he killed underground here before, so it is very likely the same evil god acted.

However, he still plans to later get the players to work up the old goat's head, so he definitely needs to beforehand hype up the evil terror of this old geezer.

First he listed a batch of traditional disgusting acts like gouging out hearts and livers, stealing children, exploiting the populace, forcing marriage on virtuous women, etc., but found the players might have grown tired of it, reacting blandly.

No choice, he had to increase the effort, adding a batch—

He will gather his followers at five in the morning to loudly perform evil praising rituals near the heretics' residences, and also beat gongs and drums, creating incessant noise.

He will also bring a group of dog‑bear people's kids to secretly infiltrate the homes of heretics skilled in handicrafts or who like collecting, and violently play with their beloved works and ornaments in front of them.

He even assigns followers to steal others' prepared meals, slander their normal conduct and reputation, and go into others' homes…

"Damn, there's this too, beat his dog's ass!"

"The more I listen, the more my fists clench; the evil god of your world is truly detestable!"

"This is because the altar in Sunshine City was smashed early; otherwise I would have twisted off His statue's head to use as a toilet."

"Then after you pull, I pull; god‑chosen, do you want to pull?"

Ji Ming: "I'm going too, do I get a share?"

Seeing the players each empathize, emotions running high, they wished to launch a surprise raid on the Shadow Temple today to capture the Deer‑Head God alive; having achieved his goal, Ji Ming hurried to quell the flames.

"Don't rush, everyone; I can also see that His incarnation has likely been dealt with by a mighty, virtuous, powerful abnormal strong one."

"Even now, this place is filled with a very strong righteous aura; if I get the chance, I definitely want to meet such a glorious existence."

"【Savior, do you not feel embarrassed when you boast about yourself?】"

"Sorry, excellence is my fault; I know, I'll definitely brag less from now on."

【……】

The players know he's definitely referring to the mysterious merchant who practices the "True Qi Nourishing Body Technique"; if placed in the real world, this would at most strengthen the body and health, living ten more years would be considered a success.

But in the world of Yang Yue where scoundrels roam and beasts are worse than dogs, this is a power‑agility booster that allows rapid leveling; we've only been in Sunshine City a few days, and the sacred True Qi is so dense it's almost connecting us to each other.

So they quickly released their own True Qi, showing a strong inclination toward order and goodness, insisting on forming a relationship with this living saint skilled in brewing potions.

Wait, brewing medicine?

The god‑chosen saint before us is a doctor by training, and he is hailed as a divine physician of the common people because he possesses a very miraculous potion system originating from ancient Eastern traditions.

And in the dungeon's potion workshop, besides the common basic potions like strength and speed, there is a potion system that has been updated with four versions over time, from closed beta to the present.

Coincidentally, both potion systems are named Rejuvenation Elixir…

The players naturally already knew this objective fact, and have begun a legitimate speculation as to whether the two might be the same potion.

However, obtaining Rejuvenation Elixir in the dungeon only requires spending some exchange points, whereas in Sunshine City acquisition is comparatively more complicated,

either you go to their subordinate clinic to see a doctor, and if the doctor thinks you need Rejuvenation Elixir for treatment, they'll prescribe you just the right dosage.

or you have a good relationship with Ji Ming himself; occasionally when you meet, he may have a chance to give you two bottles.

So players who temporarily can't find a way to purchase medicine have never been able to conduct a proper control experiment, making it hard to settle the matter definitively.

But now Ji Ming himself is present, which is the perfect opportunity to confirm this.

Among the players, Rich Brother originally wanted to just take out Rejuvenation Four, but this medicine can't even be given as a gift, let alone getting an extra dose prescribed at the clinic.

So to avoid unnecessary trouble, he chose to be cautious, carefully producing a bottle of well‑used Rejuvenation One and handing it over.

"Lord God‑Chosen, this is what we found in a safe at a gang stronghold; it smells and looks like Rejuvenation Elixir, but since it's not a prescription drug from the clinic, we've never dared to confirm it—could you tell us if it's really the real thing?"

What a lame excuse and justification…

Ji Ming took the bottle and sniffed; he found that even the crudest first generation, this bottle's fragrance lacks the richness of his own brew, and he doesn't know whether it leaked from Adele's hands or is a homemade concoction by the mice and players.

"Um, although we have indeed been working hard to limit the circulation of this potion, preventing it from becoming an aid to evildoers, we also can't make every patient drink all of it on the spot, so some will inevitably slip through the cracks..."

The players have now gained insight; they can actually deflect blame with a pot‑shoving tactic—truly befitting a member of the divine system, speaking with such flair.

Nothing more to say; learned! It will definitely be usable next time.

But…

Could it be that what we learned in the potion workshop is truly the Rejuvenation Elixir he developed?

If he controls this potion so strictly, how could he possibly leak the latest generation's formula all at once?

This question is complicated to consider, but frankly it doesn't matter; anyway, the potion formula is already in my hands—could he possibly arrest us all and brainwash us?

—Right, I stole it, so what?

However, making this explicit would affect relations, so the players didn't confront him directly but just brushed it aside as if nothing happened.

Moreover, what's more important now is that with the God‑Chosen's endorsement backing the definition, they instantly gained the ability to strike a blow at the Commercial Union.

They overnight selected several eloquent, intellectually‑oriented players to form a diplomatic envoy, and also stuffed in a few violent players who could even throw the table back if the other side flipped it, to serve as bodyguards.

Combining literary and martial prowess, they prepared to let this group of otherworldly country bumpkins first experience what is called the weapon of criticism.

If the other side doesn't understand diplomatic rhetoric, then let them feel what is called the critique of weapons.

Of course, after settling this matter, the remaining players didn't let go of the hard‑won visit from the God‑Chosen; they began to pester him with questions, thinking they also needed to max out his favor.

"Thank you, Lord God‑Chosen; chatting with you is like basking in a spring breeze."

"So this is how the brewing technique works here? I've learned; this potion is a small token of my regards, please don't stand on ceremony."

"Actually, we're all good people; we just hope a stable outer‑city environment will let everyone in Sunshine City live more comfortably."

Ji Ming thought, "I'm not the late‑night radio confidante; can you stop tormenting me just because I'm good‑looking?"

After finally shaking off the players' entanglement, he finally arrived at the gate of the White Wolf Ancestral Temple.

But before taking the next step, he suddenly turned back, pulled up the hood of his white robe, and hid his face beneath the suddenly surging darkness.

The players were confused for a moment, then suddenly realized.

ji·ming God‑Chosen (X)

JiMiYin Divine Selection (√)

——What divine selection believers, this isn't the Sovereign Envoy JiMiYin who debuted during the closed beta, right!

【Solved it, I was wondering why those four characters at the start of the closed beta never properly appeared after the game officially launched—turns out they were all arranged to be more important NPCs outside.】

【Looks like the level is that high, yet staying in the novice village is truly a waste; better to be the backbone of the major versions in the later open beta—that's making full use of things.】

【Exactly, those production teams that made characters but didn't implement them are all morally corrupt and have evil intentions (angry eyes)!!!】

Overthought…… Actually, only I am busy outside; the other three are all guarding the home in the dungeon, lest Lao Yang Tou gets angry and runs over to steal the house.

However, no wonder it's the super salvation heavenly team I personally brought out; the players' deductive ability when they gather together is just strong—truly, a hint and they get it.

Ji Ming, satisfied, got on the church's carriage preparing to return to the Clinic, but saw the public channel's chat quickly change topic.

【Wuwuwu, I just knew JiMiYin's hood underneath would look great; now I can go back and really stomp on the heads of the Necromancer and Beastman factions.】

【Honey honey, no wonder I pressed it; now thinking back, the first time I saw JiMiYin's wife in the video, she was clearly just as wet as now.】

【(Picture)(Picture)(Picture) Already used AI to generate a picture without outerwear; after getting over 100k likes, I'll give everyone something they want to see.】

Is there any way to delete this damn public channel from my system!?

Their chat has become so abstract that every time I glance at it, I feel my brain being spun dry at high speed by a drum washing machine!

……Forget it, anyway I've already seen it, so let's take another look……

And when Ji Ming pushed open his room's door, he simply returned to the real world, enjoying a modern sleep with floor heating after a long time.

Although his otherworldly self has completely surpassed the ordinary person's realm, enough to physically resist the cold, this also means he has forever lost the pleasure of lounging in bed on winter days, indulging in sleep.

So after turning back into an ordinary person, the soft, fluffy blanket is practically a man-eating plant; this sleep is utterly dark and gloomy, with no reason to wake up at all.

Until suddenly, a piercing buzz sounded in that beloved warmth; Ji Ming slowly opened his eyes, realizing it was already ten in the morning,

And that buzzing sound just now was someone giving him a call on a already-disconnected Feixin phone; as for the caller, it was……

Aurora Dance: Ji Ming, crooked-neck tree, where are my black stockings!

"Ah?"

Ji Ming, with his dazed brain, thought for a long time, then suddenly recalled that before the closed beta even started, he seemed to have promised her he would "suggest" the Production Team implement stockings during the closed beta.

……

What kind of suggestion is this, you guys? This suggestion is really harmful.

We are a proper salvation team; you guys shouldn't give suggestions if you don't want to!

……

However, as a producer who listens to advice, Ji Ming still opened his browser and searched for various content related to Code Name: Yangyue.

As a result, he was surprised to discover that these players, or rather this whole bunch of netizens, had actually made their own forum app for this game, Twan Yangyue.

"How to evaluate."

【？？？】

【Laxative, I am a diligent world will; I work overtime every day, absolutely not playing around.】

Although it lacks consciousness, it desperately needs to speak now, so it grew a mouth—world law: fart, look at what stupid things it has modified on me, Yangyue, look at it!!

In the forum, besides various game-related discussions and fanworks, there is also a meaningless-sounding 【Game Petition Area】.

Ji Ming clicked in to see the description; it turns out they wanted to use this method to contact the seemingly aloof but actually too busy to reply game officials with suggestions.

——Psst, as long as our commotion is big enough, the game officials will definitely modify the game according to our thoughts, right.

"Code Name: Yangyue": What???

In the petition ranking, first place is 【Hurry up and remove the limit for open beta】, with likes up to ten billion; estimated all internet users worldwide who can afford a ten-thousand-yuan helmet have liked it.

Second place is 【Open race selection at start】; its comment section is not so peaceful, with regional, ethnic, animal protection, and rainbow-related disputes causing a chaotic uproar, worthy of being described as murky and foul.

Third place is 【Complete the currently incomplete realism】; actually Ji Ming also thinks that, but these things, if slightly loosened, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks and everyone would be happy; if fully opened, we'd probably be hoping God throws another heavenly fire sometime.

Hmm, so we should still think it over, be careful!

As for the fourth……fifth……fourth……rankings, oh my!

Ji Ming watched as 【Implement Black Stockings】 and 【Implement White Stockings】 flipped up and down under his eyelids, chasing each other, tying on the rankings, and the comment section was full of all kinds of……

Wait a moment, can't save this; let's continue later……

Perhaps because this game can't escape the bitter tea child, players have poured all their energy into legs that can be seen and are always visible.

As a result, they found that other accessories can currently be satisfied through weaving, but a few items have relatively high tech requirements, yet overall aren't necessities—at least for now, they really can't be homemade.

So if we go further down, aside from optimization suggestions related to game mechanics like 【Open Birthplace Selection】 and 【Expand Game Map】, everything ranked ahead is all demanding the implementation of various kinds of socks.

"Ah, this isn't what I want to see; players really do need it."

【……】

Ji Ming could only crawl completely out of the warm blanket, preparing to go to the Clinic's decoction room to make the first stocking from the other world.

As a result, just after returning to Yangyue World, he saw AdaiEr lying on the bed beside him, flipping through……

"Ah!"
