Chapter 329
With its massive fanbase and top-tier quality, Legend of the West continued its
meteoric rise, dominating gaming charts across the board. It wasn't just popular— it had become the undisputed king of Osmo's most-played games.
Nothing could shake its position at the top.
Online, praise for the game flooded forums and social media. Some of the comments were so over-the-top that even Jack-who preferred to stay low-key- couldn't help but feel proud.
He had always been optimistic about the game's potential. But even he had underestimated its success.
It was so addictive that schools started reporting students neglecting their studies because of it.
At the same time, an unexpected phenomenon emerged-some addicts actually quit drugs just to stay focused on the game.
Merchandise sales soared. Action figures, collector's editions, and in-game strategy guides sold out instantly.
The success of the Legend of the West novels skyrocketed alongside the game. The moment the physical books hit the shelves, they were gone in minutes.
Then came Rolleywood. Directors and producers immediately saw the billion- dollar potential of adapting the story into a movie or TV series.
Studio executives started throwing insane amounts of money at Jack, fighting over the adaptation rights.
The offers were so outrageous that even Jack thought they were out of their minds. But the craziest part was that even foreign royalty was obsessed with the game.
King Casper of Paria personally reached out to Jack online. He had literally traveled all the way to Osmo just to experience the game firsthand.
Jack was stunned. He already knew that Casper had built internet infrastructure in his country just to read the Legend of the West novel and even upgraded to fiber optic cables just to play the game. Discover more novels at findnovel.net
However, Casper unexpectedly showed up in Ossmo. Could it be that the internet in Paria had been disrupted again?
"Don't even mention it," Casper grumbled, looking exasperated. "There's been another rebellion in our neighboring country, Crawford. They're constantly at war. The base stations near the border were bombed, and now we can't get online at all."
As Jack listened to Casper's complaints, he took the opportunity to look up Paria's geographical location.
He quickly discovered that Paria not only bordered Crawford, but it was also situated near the ocean. Just as Charlotte had mentioned, this country had yet to establish diplomatic relations with any other nation.
His conversation with Casper was surprisingly enjoyable, but it also stirred a memory. It reminded him of Charlotte-and that fleeting thought he'd had while he
was with her resurfaced once again.
Jack decided to test the waters with Casper first. To his surprise, Casper responded with overwhelming enthusiasm.
"Oh my goodness, Jack! Your friends must be as wonderful as angels. If they were to visit my country, it would be Paria's greatest honor. I would welcome them with the grandest, most extravagant hospitality!"
With Casper's promise secured, Jack felt a wave of satisfaction. He was confident he could finally resolve the issue that had been troubling Charlotte's family.
The next morning, he had plans to have breakfast with Bella.
Jack woke up early, got ready, and put on the clothes Bella had bought for him. Just as he finished dressing, his phone rang-it was Bella. She was already waiting downstairs outside the males' dorm.
When he stepped outside, he immediately spotted her standing at the entrance, scanning the crowd.
Her long hair was tied into a high ponytail, and the light touch of makeup on her stunning features made her look even more captivating. Her figure was nothing short of mesmerizing-curves in all the right places, paired with endlessly long legs.
She was so breathtaking that heads turned wherever she went. Some people even stared so intently that they walked straight into walls, practically drooling. She was pure temptation, wrapped in perfection.
