Wild Trace Sword Shadow casually walked into the leader's conference room. Four people already sat around the table with one of them being his good mate, [Swordless Swordsman]. Three people sat on the other side of the table with the ID [One Sword to Conquer the City], [One Saber to Conquer the City], and [Not Afraid].
Martial World Studio was a top notch studio with great discipline. There was no attending members eating chips without any consideration, but they were not sitting around doing nothing. Everyone had a drink in their hand and took a swig once in a while.
The snacks and drinks in Thriller Paradise are purely for the purpose of satisfying craving without any BUFF effect, they didn't restore Survival or Stamina Value either, nor would it allow the players to eat one less meal in actual life. But the items sold surprisingly well in game. Whether it was the professional players, the RMB players that didn't lack money, or the casual players, they would all purchase some to have a taste.
Dream Inc.'s virtual food was really this attractive? The answer was definitely yes. They sold three types of product, one type was the most common or popular product in the market, chips, coke, and cigarette for example; the second was the luxurious products with a high price tag which included expensive medicines, chocolate, and alcohol; the third type was interesting non-existent products in real life, such as "alligator's jerky", "rainbow juice", as well as original snack with thrilling elements, like "eyeballs barbeque", "mummy-wrapped rice cake"
Despite the short public beta period, not to mention most of the products were not expensive, but Thriller Paradise's profit in this area was approaching the profit from the consumables sold in store (ammunition, medicine, battery). The option became a major channel for the system to recover in game currency from players.
"Xiao-Ge is still not here?" Sword Shadow spoke while he sat down. He glanced across the faces that sat across the table, they were all members of the studio but not close with Sword Shadow. Out of courtesy, Sword Shadow smiled and nodded as part of introduction.
Swordless Swordsman replied, "Probably arranging the thing you talked about before."
"Is it that problematic?" Sword Shadow asked.
"Ha you just left the stuff here and left for other people to take care of it." Swordless Swordsman laughed, "We spent a lot of effort on this, do you think Weapon Specialty is that easy to train? Other than Order Studio, which studio could have an abundant of players in each specialties?
Sword Shadow shrugged. "I never trained before so I don't know the difficulty."
While they spoke, the door to the conference room opened again. A man 1.85 meters tall with a calm and stern expression walked inside.
[Questioning the Heaven], one of the three owners of the studio, also acted as the studio leader inside the game.
If there were a group of people deserted on a desolate island, stranded deep inside mountains, or trapped inside an unknown dangerous space, at first, they would all be clueless, then, Questioning the Heaven would be the person that could be relied on out of the groupthe person that could be depended on to make a decision.
Elegantly speaking, it was known as leadership charisma. Blatantly, he looked reliable.
In real life, Questioning the Heaven, Swordless Swordsman and Sword Shadow were considered young entrepreneurs; in the game, they were considered the elites of the professional gamers. But Questioning the Heaven was undoubtedly the one that could represent Martial World the best.
In terms of skills, the trio were extremely close. In other virtual reality games before, they would often challenge each other with mixed results. Disregarding the influence
But in terms of managing the company, Swordless Swordsman and Sword Shadow were miles behind. The important decisions and future development plan of the studio was decided by Questioning the Heaven from the very start. As a company that started from grassroots, a wise decision-maker is fundamental to the success.
"Mhmm everyone is here." Questioning the Heaven sat at the north most of the table and his sight scanned across Swordless Swordsman and Sword Shadow on the right. Then, he looked at the three people on his left and said, "Did you get to know each other?"
"Ah, we chatted for a bit," Swordless Swordsman replied, "but Sword Shadow just got here, why don't you make an introduction."
Questioning the Heaven raised his right arm and faced the three people on his left. "Wild Trace Sword Shadow."
"I have long respected the name!" One Sword and One Sabre finally met an elite. While they were ecstatic at heart, they acted reserved.
Not Afraid just scorned without any disagreement.
"Haha, no need to be so courteous," Sword Shadow replied with a grin.
Questioning the Heaven then told Sword Shadow, "While One Sword and One Sabre are not professional players, their online time is ample and consistent, and I see their potential" He paused, "Weren't you complaining about the lack of teammate in Slaughter Game? Why don't they follow you?"
"Okay." Sword Shadow agreed without any hesitation. He understood how to treat people; in a situation like this, either decisively reject them or decisively agree to the decision. If he acted like a man picking out prostitutes and replying for a deliberate consideration, it would make One Sword and One Sabre feel awkward.
"We are all in the same studio and there is EXP amplification, I'm dying for teammates," Sword Shadow said.
"Haha, then we'll work with Sword Shadow in the future." One Sword and One Sabre was pleasantly happy about the decision. For them, it was great to be able to join a reputable studio like Martial World. The "potential" from the leader made them even more confident. Now that they were appointed to the same team with Sword Shadow, it was a heaven-sent opportunity. They were both players that used close range weapons,so it would easier for them to improve by watching an elite like Sword Shadow closely.
"Also, this is [Not Afraid]" Questioning the Heaven continued to introduce, "This is an elite recommended by One Sword and One Sabre. She just joined the studio today, I want you to meet her"
Swordless Swordsman and Shadow Sword's expression slightly changed when they heard this. They were all wondering in their heart the definition of "meeting her"? Is this your girlfriend or relative, so you want your brothers to meet her? But this doesn't feel like it with the introduction he gave, then could it be while this beauty is not an employee of the studio, she is an elite casual player that we must meet?
"Hello," Not Afraid nonchalantly said. The cute gesture she put on whenever she encountered strangers in scenarios completely vanished, but rather she put on an audacious personality.
Because Swordless came early, he already met her. For Sword Shadow, however, it was the first time he spoke with her, "Hello," while debating in his mind: I have never seen her before and never heard a professional player named [Not Afraid], but Questioning the Heaven-Ge seemed to place a great importance on her interesting.
"Not Afraid can enter scenarios with Swordless in the future, try to maintain a consistent time online to improve the leveling speed. Once you get to level 30, I want to incorporate you into a special team to conquer the nightmare difficult multiplayer survival mode. Questioning the Heaven said, "Also, between level 30 to 39, there are a total of three "Ranked Frontier Battle" you can join, I hope you can go with teammates in the studio, I will arrange this."
At the same time, in the Hell's Front conference room.
Feng Bujue walked into the conference room and saw Like Rain with both hands carrying her cheek. She looked tired as she observed the rather boring scene around her. Dispirited across the table was throwing popcorns at Little Tan and attempting to stick more popcorns onto Little Tan's hair.
"Are you all waiting for me?" Feng Bujue asked. They were all in sleep mode.
"Only waited for ten minutes," said Like Rain.
Feng Bujue turned around to see the number of popcorns on Little Tan's head. "I'm really curious. If I come a bit later, what would throwing the popcorn as a way of killing them escalate into?"
"Perhaps she'll make me catch it with my mouth," Little Tan replied.
"I'm happy you finally found a friend with a mental age close to you," Feng Bujue laughed.
"Absolute nonsense! I'm much more mature than him!" Dispirited retorted.
"Of course, everyone who's been to elementary school knows that girls mature earlier than boys," Feng Bujue said while sitting down around the table.
Dispirited glared at the leader with evil remarks before she made a funny face at him.
"I heard you're going to be on TV soon?" Like Rains said.
"Ahh you already promoted this" Feng Bujue basically admitted it. He spoke to Little Tan, "Eh? Also, how's your left hand? You broke the bottle of [Slow Quicksand], is the effect obvious?"
Little Tan replied, "There is nothing wrong." He raised his hand, "There is nothing odd about it. I finished two scenarios after work and didn't feel anything odd. Perhaps after the Deadly Jeopardy scenario, the effect of the quicksand disappeared."
"The negative effect in the scenario will not be brought back into the login space." Dispirited continued, "Leader, didn't you say you read the game instruction? Why are you so persistent on this?"
"Because I feel that scenario has problems" Feng Bujue muttered in his mind, but he didn't say it out.
"As long as it is okay." Like Rain was always the one that brought the conversation back onto the right track. Without her, who knew how long this group of people would dawdle. "Now that everyone experienced a few scenarios, let's share our level and status before we get prepared to leave."
