Plane Store: I rely on five-star reviews to become rich and live forever

Everyone gave the NPC leader enough face and listened with great interest to him introducing his new favorite things.

An NPC said with emotion: "These players must come from a very rich and beautiful world, so they can create so many exquisite cultural products."

Arthur had to admit: "Any civilization that can come to our assessment must be pretty good."

Vivian said, "But the players who came here before rarely showed these aspects. Instead, they make this year's players stand out."

"I don't think that previous players thought these were 'unproductive', hahaha."

Gu Xingyan heard key words like "assessment" and asked everyone curiously: "So why did the God of Games choose these people to come?"

The BOSS and NPCs just smiled and said nothing.

Vivian said, "I can't tell you right away, or you'll tell the players, and then our hidden mission will lose its meaning."

Gu Xingyan was a little embarrassed. Everyone knew that she was helping the players, but no one was against her. They still got along the same way as before, which was quite rare.

But to be honest, if these NPCs and BOSSes are all "examiners", then their position is not opposite to that of the "examinees". The work they do is just to ensure that the "assessment" proceeds normally.

Gu Xingyan asked another question: "So what do you think of the performance of this year's players?"

Vivian shook her head. "It's hard to say. What we saw was very one-sided. Take the Elf King War chapter for example. If you asked me to rate it, I'd probably give it a mid-to-low rating."

The leader NPC said: "But if we evaluate the diplomatic achievements alone, I feel that they will be higher than in previous years..."

He suddenly realized that he had let slip one of the evaluation criteria, so he quickly stopped talking and covered it up by saying, "If a group of people who have just arrived in an unfamiliar environment and just close themselves off to the outside world, they will not be qualified."

Gu Xingyan smiled and took note of it silently, "So that's how it is. I thought it depended on how long it took to clear the level."

But this time, no one responded, no one said it mattered, and no one said it didn't matter.

Lily shrugged: "What we say doesn't count. The final right of interpretation lies with the God of Games."

After all, the invigilator is not responsible for marking the exam papers.

Everyone continued to talk about the changes in their lives, and the source of these changes were the players. Overall, the NPCs gave a lot of positive comments.

Gu Xingyan thought that the players’ performance should be considered very good.

But when she was happy for the players, the NPCs talked about the aristocratic cuisine that had become popular recently.

The president of the Chamber of Commerce said with a hint of meaning: "In the past six months, some ingredients with added properties have been sold to the local upper class. If the aristocratic tea party didn't have one or two of these, they would be laughed at for being out of date."

The leader NPC has naturally attended many gatherings in this circle, and he also has an impression of this: "You are talking about the osmanthus honey and coffee, right? They should have flowed out from the Dragon Breath Ice Room."

If the Chamber of Commerce president's tone wasn't so meaningful, Gu Xingyan would have thought this was normal.

Once something is sold, it is bound to be difficult to control who will eventually eat it.

Besides, the semi-finished products she sold were only slightly better than the existing food items and had more special benefit types, so they were not necessities.

These semi-finished products can never be sold at a high price no matter how much they are hyped up among the player community, and are just icing on the cake.

Unexpectedly, even Vivian, who lived in the Elf City, knew about this: "I heard that a teaspoon of ice cream is worth a gold coin, why don't you go and rob it?"

She happened to have a small silver spoon in her hand and she dug into the affogato and took a bite.

The ice cream soaked in the coffee liquid was exactly what she said, and it was fresher and only cost five silver coins.

Gu Xingyan felt a little uncomfortable. Her original intention of selling magic items to players was to provide everyone with an additional channel to purchase magic items, so that they could be more relaxed in battle and have fewer casualties.

But she didn't want to assume bad things about others, so she said optimistically, "It seems like the players are good at doing business. They can multiply their coins several times by reselling them, so they can buy more good things, which is more cost-effective than eating them directly."

The Chamber of Commerce president obviously knew more about the situation and shook his head, saying, "Although what you said makes sense, it is a pity that the people who caused this situation did not invest their profits into the war."

Gu Xingyan was so eager to hear this that she said helplessly, "Don't keep us in suspense. How bad is it?"

When players make money, no matter what they buy, their strength will increase directly or indirectly. Even if they just buy a roast chicken to fill their stomach, that is a result that Gu Xingyan is happy to see.

The war scene switched back in the magic mirror gave the answer.

The Dark Lord Augustine's health bar dropped to 10%. The players were on high alert, fearing that the boss would go berserk and everyone would fail.

"My devout apostles of darkness, it is time to prove your loyalty to me. Darkness will grant you eternal life!"

The Dark Lord was like a king who would rather die than surrender, with ominous runes and twisted space cracks surrounding him. His black mist stretched into the cracks like tentacles, pulling out hundreds of players at once.

The players were horrified and checked around their teammates to make sure none of them had been captured.

"Which guild are those players from? Should we save them?"

"What kind of ultimate move is this? This is the first time I see a boss threatening us with hostages."

"Wait a minute, there's something wrong with those people!"

"Damn it, why are they attacking us? Are they being controlled?"

"Those players are wearing all black. Which guild's standard equipment is like this?"

The players who were betrayed were very cautious. They didn't want to hurt their fellow human beings, but they also couldn't bear to be beaten for no reason.

"Where are the priests or spiritual mages? Hurry and restore their sanity!"

"I am a spiritual mage, they are not controlled at all!"

"what's the situation?"

"Where's the nurse?! My health bar is almost empty, please save me! How come these people's damage is higher than that of the players on the leaderboard!"

"Is that human being?"

After losing a lot of people, the players finally figured out what was going on with those players summoned by the Dark Lord.

They are exactly the "Dark Apostles" mentioned by the Dark Lord. While sober, they betrayed the player camp, gave up everything they had, and defected to the Dark Lord!

In exchange, the Dark Lord promised them eternal life, and strengthened these cowards who were seriously behind in strength and dared not fight on the front line into the level of level 80 elite monsters in one go!

"Great, is this what it feels like to have power?"

"Hahaha, all of you high up on the leaderboard, even ten of you combined can't beat me!"

"Stupid and immature human beings, they only know how to bring trouble upon themselves and flatter themselves. Even if you defeat the boss, you may not be able to return. It would be better to gain eternal life!"

"I don't want to go back to Blue Star. I want to be the strongest person here, second only to the first person and above everyone else!"

"Everyone, put down your weapons and join our Dark God Cult! Let's conquer the world together!"
