Chapter 412 Woof Woof Woof
"Yes, I hope I can still lead these people...
OK...President, I understand."
After the crystal ball went out, the figure in the robe raised his hand and rubbed his brow, then stood up and walked to the window, pulling open the dark green velvet curtains that had been tightly closed before.
The pale sunlight poured into the room, illuminating the originally dim study, and also illuminating the face of the figure in front of the window.
He had an ordinary human face, with brown hair and brown eyes, the kind that would be hard to spot if you blended into a crowd or even looked for him deliberately.
This is Zero, who came to the Empire from the Federation and temporarily served as the general manager of the Gate to the Eye branch.
Since coming to the empire, his life has been very dull.
Despite his mobilization of resources and cooperation, the development of the Silver and Blue Club in the Empire was not as smooth as expected.
The first is the problem of the overall environment. According to his judgment, if the plot is not randomly generated, this high-pressure situation will continue for at least several years, or even more than ten years of game time.
A stable empire without unrest may be a good thing for ordinary players, but it will make it difficult for large e-sports clubs like them to develop.
Another problem was the sniping from their old rival, the White Light E-sports Club. The other party had joined a force called the Secret Society and was targeting them in every way.
It is rumored that behind that force stands a descendant of one of the four major families in the empire, and he met the native last time.
According to the information he obtained, the Door in the Pupil had previously caused the other party to encounter great danger in order to test whether the other party was related to the Star Prophecy. The current targeted behavior was purely revenge.
Since the other party had high-ranking officials of the empire behind them, they were almost abandoned by the Door in the Pupil, and they felt extremely uncomfortable being targeted, not much better than rats crossing the street.
It becomes even more difficult when some of their actions seem to be under the enemy's nose and there is no concealment at all.
Many people in the club suspected that there was a traitor, but even if they knew, they could do nothing about it. After all, this is the nature of the players.
Fortunately, these troubles had nothing to do with him because they were not his responsibility.
And then, he would leave this boring empire and return to the federation that was about to be engulfed in war.
That's where he can play his greatest value.
All tasks of the position of general manager of the Gate to the Eye will naturally be handled by people from the club.
Squinting his eyes, looking at the bustling city and dazzling sunlight outside the window, Ling suddenly smiled.
Everyone has something to pursue. Some people pursue wealth, some pursue fame, and some pursue power...
What he pursues is excitement.
Such a beautiful world, if we could light it up, would the fire be brighter than the sun?
Turning around, Zero left the window, his figure blending into the dark shadows deep in the corridor. . ….….When the Silver Blue Club was about to start investing some of its energy in the Federation, the think tank of the White Light Club also noticed the special situation in the Federation.
But unlike Silver and Blue, they developed better in the Gloria Empire, and did not value the future development opportunities of the Federation as much as Silver and Blue did. They only arranged for several team members to go there to temporarily investigate the situation.
"Boll's beard! It guarantees a bit of luck!"
Walking on the street, the dwarf player [Gold, Silver, Copper, and Aluminum] suddenly cursed.
"I've already told you that according to my prediction, your luck is very bad today and it's not a good time to draw the lottery."
The human player Nyarlathotep glanced at the dwarf and shrugged.
Some time ago, the game version was upgraded online. After the update, a major change occurred in the system panel.
The system mall has started selling costumes! Costumes can directly change the appearance of the player character without changing the clothes. You can choose whether to let the natives see them, but there is no attribute bonus.
Those high-quality game costumes cannot be purchased directly, but need to be obtained by drawing cards. There is not even a guarantee, but the higher the luck value, the easier it is to draw them.
Some of the most precious costumes are limited to the entire server and can only be purchased with real money in the system auction house.
Just now, it was the dwarf player's 100th draw today, but he only obtained 105 points of luck.
“Is the probability very low?”
Beside him, the elven bard glanced at him with his sharp sword.
Before he finished speaking, a cold metal armor with a scarlet cloak suddenly appeared on the sharp sword. The style of the armor was extremely exquisite, and the joints of the patterns were carved with blue frost luster and particle effects.
"Oh, I got it after ten consecutive draws, the Frost Joy Set!"
Looking at the brand new fashion armor on his body, the poet was very satisfied.
"Damn it! I don't believe it!"
Seeing the harvest of the sharp sword, the dwarf immediately became jealous.
Luck +10, Luck +10, Luck +10...
So, after three ten-draws in a row, the dwarf happily gained thirty points of luck.
"...Damn it! If you hit me again, I'll be a dog!!"
His beard trembled violently, and gold, silver, copper and aluminum became furious.
"Okay, let's get down to business. Xiaojian, Tongluan, what did you get?"
Shaking his head, Nyarlathotep brought the subject back to the topic.
"According to the news from the Loran Kingdom branch of the Bards Guild, the situation in the Federation has indeed begun to become tense. As for the reason, the most likely reason is related to the recent surge in the price of skeleton labor.
I heard that a mysterious big force has recently entered the market and a large number of skeleton laborers are needed for assembly production. As a result, there is a severe shortage of skeleton labor raw materials on the market and prices have skyrocketed.
Of course, the lost treasure of the Sky City that caused a lot of controversy before should also be related to this matter."
Speaking of business, Sharp Sword straightened his words and spoke out the investigation report.
"I went to the dwarf settlement here, and according to them, the orders for weapons and armor have indeed increased dramatically recently.
We also received orders for large quantities of military equipment and many magical weapons of sophisticated grade and above.
As for the identity of the customer who placed the order, they don’t know either, but the order is urgent and it is likely that the money will be needed in the near future.
Hey, there was one grumpy old guy who was a little wary when I asked him that. But after I got him drunk with dwarven ale, he told me everything."
Some patted their chests complacently, and raised their heads with proud looks.
"His alcohol tolerance is not bad, but it's a pity that he met me--"
"Okay, if it's not related to the mission, there's no need to say anything more."
Nyarlathotep nodded.
"Next, I will report the results of the investigation to the club's scenario analysis team, and they will come to a conclusion on what is best for the club.
However, the foundation of the club still lies in the Gloria Empire. Even if we invest some power here, it probably won’t be too much. We probably can’t compete with Stardust, which is mainly developed in the Federation.”
"So, are we going to give up developing here?"
The dwarf scratched his head, somewhat confused.
"So, next, maybe we can cooperate with the people from Silver and Blue."
The sharp sword added.
"Is that so, Captain?"
"Xiaojian is right."
Nyarlathotep nodded, then glanced at the friend information prompt on the panel with a somewhat strange expression.
"Also, Tonglu, did you just draw the legendary costume?"
“…I pulled out one hundred and seventy-six pages!”
The dwarf's complexion was a little dark.
Gugu, thank you for your rewards and monthly tickets.
