What Chao Suihe never expected was that due to the bonus of Fukuzawa's buff, the player's experience increased too quickly, and the system did not indicate when the buff would end.

This made the players who were used to eating coarse grains suddenly have to eat fine grains. They were flattered and even more panicked, worrying that the food would disappear in a day.

As a result, the entire server was in a sprint, and according to statistics, nearly 80% of the players were leveling up all night long that day.

Finally, with the collective strength, the buff ended early.

When the reminder sound for starting the current version rang out, many players who stayed up late to level up were still complacent.

Sure enough! It was gone in one night, and those who slept in were at a big loss~

Chao Suihe didn’t know whether the person who was sleeping was at a disadvantage or not, but he was definitely badly trapped by the buff of the system!

Chao Suihe, who was originally preparing to go online, felt disheartened when he saw the overwhelming expectations for the new version of Xingxiu on the Internet.

After breakfast, following Pu Pu's instructions, Chao Suihe put on his helmet resignedly.

Sure enough, when he opened his eyes again, he was already in the Zhaixing Palace.

He logged off yesterday in the forest at the border of Tianquan and Yuheng, and has now been picked up by the system.

The empty Zhaixing Palace was wide open, rows of candlesticks were lit, hundreds of maids were busy decorating the hall, new green dresses were fluttering in the air, the quiet Zhaixing Palace had never been so lively.

Hundreds of people were busy, but no one spoke. The solemn atmosphere was broken by the expectant smiles on everyone's faces.

Yes, the Dragon Boat Festival is a sacrificial activity with the theme of expelling poisons, warding off evil spirits and praying for blessings. It is people’s beautiful vision for physical health, spiritual abundance, and their remembrance of their ancestors.

Feeling the maids' unconcealed joy in the palace, and thinking of the players' expectations before entering the game, I really had the illusion of celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival together with people from ancient times to the present.

Thinking of this, Chao Suihe chuckled and became serious. He had no intention of being perfunctory. Although he was cheated, he was more helpless. But since it was done in advance, he might as well let the people of Xingxiu and Shuguang see this vast culture from China!

After adjusting his state, Chao Suihe was guided by a navy blue maid to a dressing table. Five maids were holding plates and surrounding the young imperial teacher.

Chao Suihe gently closed his eyes.

The leading maid bowed and shouted: "Step 1 - Rice powder facial mask"

Chao Suihe's already fair face was covered with a layer of pale color, giving people a strange beauty that seemed unreal.

After taking off the powder disc, the maid bowed again: "Two steps - burn willows and draw eyebrows."

"Step three - apply rouge." The maid in new green dyed the madder red, which had a light color, to lay the foundation and apply it on the surface.

"Four steps and five steps - apply lip balm" The navy blue maid took the lip balm and facial ointment made of cinnabar and animal fat beside her and carefully sketched them.

Soon, it came to the last step. The navy blue maid took out the vase from the dish, tilted it slightly, and blue-green juice overflowed. The tip of the pen lightly touched Chao Suihe's forehead. The maid drew the Big Dipper totem as devoutly as if she was treating a god.

After the painting was completed, the words "the ceremony is over" awakened the dozing little imperial teacher. His long eyelashes fluttered as he opened his eyes. Even though the maids had seen big scenes, they couldn't help but gasp.

The beauty was made up with powder, her face was as pale and translucent as jade, with a thin red trace at the end of her eyes, and her bright red lips made the face of this sick beauty look extremely strange, like a mountain ghost in the woods.

The white hair behind her was gently lifted up and combed behind her head. The maid used her bare hands to braid it into a fishbone braid, which was tied at the end with a dark green ribbon and allowed to hang down naturally.

The girls' front hair was lifted up and brushed over their temples, revealing the Big Dipper totem in the middle.

After completing the makeup and hairstyle, Chao Suihe asked the maids to leave.

He opened the system backpack and found the [Seven Ceremonial Costumes] given to him. After checking (Dragon Boat Festival), a faint light appeared, and Chao Suihe's peach blossom white robe was replaced by a bamboo green ceremonial costume.

The beauty had a long fishbone braid that meandered down, the ends of her hair disappeared at her waist, and she was wearing a bamboo green deep-legged straight-hem gown with wide fluttering sleeves.

The cross collar, the front and the right lapel are decorated with five poisonous creatures embroidered on them, and a necklace made of gold, agate and turquoise is hung on the collar.

The fabric tied around the waist is brightly colored, just like the lip gloss, and it complements the red corners of the beauty's eyes. The star-shaped jade pendant representing the status of the national teacher is embellished in it, shining with a faint light, highlighting the beauty's noble status.

At this time, outside the Zhaixing Palace, gongs and drums were beating and people were talking, indicating that the grand Dragon Boat Festival sacrificial ceremony was about to begin!

Players outside the game finally saw the system update notifications pouring in, and system notifications immediately popped up in front of all players who were ready to view the update content.

[Do you want to go to the Dragon Boat Festival Sacrifice Ceremony of the Xingxiu Empire? Yes/No]

Realizing that the update at this time was most likely related to this sacrificial ceremony, the players clicked OK without any hesitation, and some clever players even started live broadcasts.

The world spun around in an instant, and the player who was teleported directly to the crowd of civilians was stunned. He had never seen such a number of NPCs since he started playing Xingxiu!

At a glance, it was roughly estimated that there were more than 30,000 people, and players were constantly being teleported in, making the situation crowded.

Netizens in the live broadcast room were also shocked. Unlike the anchor, they had a clearer perspective and could see the altar not far away.

"Why are there so many people?"

"Ahhh, it's so lively. I really want to go. Unfortunately, I'm not level 10 yet, so I can only stay in the village???????????"

"Don't mention it. Our village chief has gone to participate in the sacrificial ceremony, so he can't complete the mission..."

"Look at that person in black on the stage. Damn, that can't be the emperor. The anchor should squeeze to the front and take a look."

The players who saw the barrage were startled and began to squeeze forward. Finally, they squeezed to five meters away from the Star Platform Altar amid complaints. After seeing the whole picture, they were deeply shocked.

The altar is in the shape of a round platform with steps leading to the top. In the middle of the platform is a sacrificial table with stars and constellations on it, and chimes and bells on both sides.

The Star Emperor Xuan Qi was wearing a black crown and a tasseled crown on his head, and was performing a grand worship. Under the Star Platform, the six city lords of Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Yuheng, Kaiyang and Yaoguang, who were also wearing crowns, also lined up to participate in the worship.

The players were shocked when they saw the identities of the people on the stage. They didn't expect that there were so many city lords who they usually didn't see here.

"Isn't that our city lord? Damn it!!"

"Our city lord is here too! He's all here, all here!!"

"Hurry up and look at the second row, it's full of big guys, Xiaoyin Guhong, Qingfeng Mingyue...even the Lord of Winter is here!!!"

"I just hate not being there. I hate all of you who have reached level 10 (*?)σ"

"Where's Boss Suihe?"

Suddenly, the sound of drums rang out, and the solemn rhythm struck the drum surface hard, and also hit the hearts of everyone present.

After the emperors and city lords on the stage finished burning incense, Xuan Qi picked up the realgar wine on the sacrificial table and raised his glass to the sky to invite the bright moon to come.

The afterglow sprinkled on the cup, shimmering with a glimmer. The emperor waved his hand and drank with the world.
