Chapter 566 Plagiarism

Obviously, Brother You wasn't the only one who could see the potential of this business. The logic was simple: if a technique could improve efficiency, it would become a must-buy. Those who didn't buy it would lose out.

Ordinary players lacked development skills, so they could only pick up the scraps that Gu Fei and the others had left behind. Knowing the importance of acting fast, they started selling what they had learned before even mastering it.

"So fast? How good is their teaching?" Gu Fei asked.

"Not very good at all. They haven't even mastered it themselves. They can't show any efficiency, so they've become a laughingstock. But that's because they're too impatient. With a little practice, things will improve," Brother You said.

"Then what do you think we should do now?"

"We can only seize market share as quickly as possible." Brother You was also troubled. The piracy industry was too developed, ubiquitous, and impossible to defend against.

"If we want to expand our influence in a short time, aren't we a little short-handed?" Gu Fei said.

"Yes, so I think if you and Bai Shi don't mind, we should get Jian Gui, Gongzi, and the others to help. Many hands make light work, and their names are golden brands," Brother You said.

"I have no objections. Bai Shi, have you discussed it?" Gu Fei said.

"Yes, he has no objections either. Then it's unanimously approved. Let's discuss the next step with Jian Gui and the others when they're online," Brother You said.

"Okay!"

After 12 noon, the members of the Gongzi Elite Group logged in one after another and were summoned to the tavern by Brother You. Han Jia Gongzi looked angry. Usually, when he called for them, they never came so quickly. But now, as soon as Brother You said there was money to be made, they all appeared as if they were flying.

"Ahem, everyone's almost here!" Brother You cleared his throat.

"Brother You, get straight to the point. If you talk too much nonsense, we'll chop you!" Zhan Wu Shang said on behalf of everyone.

Brother You was a little depressed, then explained the matter.

Relying on Gu Fei again… The masters were depressed. Why did this guy always have to be so cool?

"There's such a thing? Why didn't you mention it to us?" Although everyone knew that Gu Fei wasn't the type to hoard good things, they couldn't help but ask.

"Your strength is too high. It's like you can kill a small monster instantly, so why bother learning any techniques?" Gu Fei said.

The masters felt comfortable from head to toe, but then they realized, "Who can kill instantly? Who can kill monsters above their level instantly? Are you talking about yourself?"

"I'm just using an analogy. What I mean is that you're already very strong, so learning my technique won't help you much, unless you think your level is the same as Brother You's," Gu Fei said.

"You're insulting people!" Zhan Wu Shang slammed the table.

Brother You coughed loudly, wanting to strangle Zhan Wu Shang in frustration.

"Let's get down to business, down to business." Jian Gui was concerned about business. He wanted to make a lot of money to pay off his debts!

"That's the situation. You don't need me to tell you how big the market is, so there's definitely money to be made. Everyone, come and help, share the gold, isn't that great!" Brother You said.

"No need to say that." Han Jia Gongzi said, "Tell us the current situation."

"Currently…" Brother You explained the current piracy crisis, then said, "So I think the most important thing right now is to use the golden brand of our mercenary group's IDs to quickly promote our reputation and let people know who the ultimate owner of this technique is."

The saying "golden brand" obviously made these guys feel good again. Brother You was feeling proud of his words when he suddenly noticed that Han Jia Gongzi's disdainful and contemptuous expression was back.

"Not good!!" Brother You shouted in his heart, wanting to find a crack in the ground to slip away.

"Stupid. The primary task now is to control the situation. Blindly advertising is the same as helping the pirates announce it," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"You're right, you're right…" Brother You didn't argue at all.

"What do customers need, we give them what? That's bullshit. We're in a monopoly position now. We give them what, they have to take what. They have no right to choose!" Han Jia Gongzi said.

Everyone stared straight at Han Jia Gongzi. They had never seen a seller so arrogant.

"You said just now that all the techniques for 'Campfire Patrol Soldiers' have been developed, so very good. Next, we'll only announce the 'Campfire Patrol Soldiers'. Before this type of monster's market is saturated, we will resolutely not develop the next type of monster," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Can there be a time when it's saturated? Only popularizing the technique for one type of monster is like saying that from now on, the experience from 'Campfire Patrol Soldiers' is 2 to 3 times more than other monsters of the same level. In that case, even players who don't usually kill this type of monster will all come, right? Even those players whose main cities don't have this type of monster will definitely rush to White Stone City when they hear this news. Level 40 players are the main group now. The wilderness camp is so big, there are only so many monsters, this this this…" Brother You couldn't imagine what the consequences would be. "Moreover, there are already pirated versions of 'Campfire Patrol Soldiers'. How much of this cake can we eat if we hold onto it?"

Han Jia Gongzi sneered, but Gu Fei had already taken over, "Let them hold it and fight over it. At this time, we can go change to another cake, is that what you mean?"

When Brother You heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said extremely excitedly, "We'll go develop new leveling monsters?"

Han Jia Gongzi nodded: "That's right, but next time we won't just collect the registration forms and teach so rashly. We must announce it in advance. For example, if the next monster we're going to kill is the Green Forest Bandit, then we'll post on the forum and put up advertisements in the game in advance to let all players know that the Gongzi Elite Group is about to develop an efficient technique for Green Forest Bandits. Those who are interested in learning can register and pay. Once we have enough people, we'll officially start teaching."

"Pay in advance?" Brother You asked doubtfully.

"Of course. Although some people will be worried and unwilling to pay, we don't need to care about these people. With such a low price of 99 gold coins, plus the real leveling efficiency seen in 'Campfire Patrol Soldiers', there will definitely be no shortage of people willing to take this risk. Take you few here as an example, if there is a method that can increase your leveling speed by two to three times, as long as you pay 99 gold coins, would you be willing to gamble?" Han Jia Gongzi said.

The few people looked at each other.

Han Jia Gongzi took a sip of wine and continued: "What's more, your few broken IDs might actually have some credibility."

"You just said enough people, what does enough people mean? What's enough?" Brother You asked.

"The area of the leveling area, the number of monsters, the refresh rate, these things are constant, so it can be estimated how many players can appear in the same leveling area at the same time to reach saturation. Of course, except for individual lunatics, no one will occupy a piece of land non-stop. Considering this situation of taking turns, I think the number of student players recruited for each monster should be at least four times the saturation number," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"If we do this, it will be difficult for those pirates to survive." Gu Fei realized that Han Jia Gongzi's operation method guaranteed the absolute income of his side, and although the ubiquitous pirates still had the opportunity to get a piece of the pie, their living space had been compressed to a very small size.

"That's right, we have all the resources in our hands, how can we not bully them to death? We'd be wasting our time." Han Jia Gongzi said.

As the saying goes, there is always someone better. Bai Shi Jing Lun came up with such an idea by accident, but Brother You quickly used his understanding of the game and players to make this plan feasible, and Han Jia Gongzi, with his consistent meanness and viciousness, kicked all those who might grab food into the corner to pick up leftovers.

Brother You painfully hammered his head at this time. Looking at it now, how much of a failure was it for him and Bai Shi Jing Lun to excitedly scoop up the first pot of gold last night? If he had heard Han Jia Gongzi's analysis earlier, he could have suppressed the registration forms first to gather people. But now, this first cake, which was originally the most convenient for launching the brand, had to be harassed by a large number of pirated versions.

"Although the current start is a bit chaotic." Hearing Han Jia Gongzi say this, Brother You buried his head even deeper. Then he heard Han Jia Gongzi continue: "But this step must be taken, otherwise it will be harmful to our credibility. Brother You, you should go offline to the forum and post, strongly declaring that our Gongzi Elite Group is the authentic source of efficient monster killing methods. We are not responsible for any consequences caused by the things taught by other scum. By the way, notify that the current teaching is concentrated on 'Campfire Patrol Soldiers'. If you want to sign up, look for the designated person, I think it's you! Also, you should also preview the next operation we just discussed, and you can open a vote, which will also be convenient for us to count. Oh, and warn those pirates, don't let us see you, otherwise Qian Li Zui will be sent to chase you to the ends of the earth."

"Hey!" Gu Fei was dissatisfied, he didn't have the time for this.

"Intimidation, it's intimidation." Han Jia Gongzi said to him.

"Anything else?" Brother You asked.

"I was just speaking orally, you should consider the wording yourself." Han Jia Gongzi said.

"I know…" Brother You said.

"Then go quickly!" Han Jia Gongzi waved his hand.

Brother You quickly got up and walked towards the door. After taking a few steps, he stopped, looked back, and suddenly felt wronged. Originally, he was the one who planned most of this, but in the blink of an eye, he had become a errand boy. How depressed was that? Before he could think it through, those guys saw him suddenly stop moving after taking a few steps, and they all looked over at him suspiciously. Brother You wiped his eyes and left.

"You three." Han Jia Gongzi looked at Jian Gui, Yu Tian Shen Ming, and Zhan Wu Shang: "You are all familiar with the leveling areas near White Stone City that are often visited by level 40 players, right? You three should divide it up and each take a few areas to seriously count the size of each leveling area, the types of monsters, the number of monsters, and the number of players."

"Isn't this kind of thing supposed to be done by Brother You?" Yu Tian Shen Ming asked suspiciously.

"Then tell me, what can you do now?" Han Jia Gongzi asked.

Yu Tian Shen Ming was stunned.

"If you don't do anything, don't think about sharing the money, right?" Han Jia Gongzi asked.

"What are you two dawdling for, hurry up and go!" Yu Tian Shen Ming jumped up and shouted, fully expressing his enthusiasm.

"Brother You went to promote, we three went to investigate, there's no need to say what Qian Li and Bai Shi Jing Lun are doing, so may I ask what you are going to do?" Zhan Wu Shang carefully asked Han Jia Gongzi.

"Qian Li and I will go to the wilderness camp to see the situation." Han Jia Gongzi said.

"See what situation?" Zhan Wu Shang asked.

"How would I know what the situation is if I haven't seen it yet?" Han Jia Gongzi said.

Zhan Wu Shang wanted to say something, but Jian Gui and Yu Tian Shen Ming each grabbed one of his arms and dragged him out. "Are you cheap?" Before they even left the door, the two questioned Zhan Wu Shang in unison.

"Let's go too!" Han Jia Gongzi called out to Gu Fei.

The two went out together to the wilderness camp. When they arrived, Gu Fei immediately gasped. The players here were already three-dimensionally divided into two groups: agile and non-agile, short-weapon and long-weapon.

The agile short-weapon players used one kind of technique, while the non-agile long-weapon players used another kind of technique. Some were skilled and some were not, but the common characteristic was that their eyes were red. Gu Fei estimated that they hadn't slept since learning it last night. After carefully looking at the two techniques, Gu Fei felt that Bai Shi Jing Lun was really not being humble when he said that he was not good at short weapons. The dagger-wielding technique was obviously not as good as the single-handed sword one. There were several details in the middle that were handled more hesitantly. It seemed that Bai Shi Jing Lun really didn't have much research on short weapons.

As soon as the two showed up, they stood there for a long time, which immediately attracted the attention of interested people, and four or five people instantly surrounded the two.

"Brother, how is it, never seen it before, right? Haha, the new monster-killing method of this year. Looking at your temperament, you are also a master, you must have found that this method is extremely efficient, right? How about it, want to learn? Come to our side, 40 gold coins, guaranteed to teach you until you know it." One player said.

"40? Isn't it 50?" Gu Fei asked in surprise.

"50 was the price in the morning." As soon as the player finished speaking, he suddenly realized that he had misspoke. The person clearly didn't mind 50, so why did he lower the price himself?

As a result, someone immediately took advantage of the situation, and another person approached Gu Fei and said, "Brother, are you a mage? Then you have to learn the long-weapon technique. That guy teaches daggers, which is not suitable for you."

"Who said that? I can teach both long and short." The previous person patted his chest and roared.

"Can teach both long and short?" The person here looked the other person up and down and said, "How much agility do you have? You know that long weapons don't need agility? With your thief speed, can we learn what you teach? Don't fool around here."

"Hey, that's our advantage. You guys who don't have agility can't be fast even if you want to be fast; we who have agility can slow down if we want to. What, are you envious?"

"I envy your mom!"

"Damn, watch your mouth!" The person here was angry.

"Clean your mom!" The person here insisted.

Dust flew up, and the two sides started fighting. Gu Fei and Han Jia Gongzi watched for a while, and it was difficult to tell the winner in a short time, so they detoured. As a result, the fisherman who benefited after the clams fought came out: "Hey, which one do you two want to learn? We have specialized teachers here."

"Where do you teach?" Gu Fei asked.

The person thought there was hope and was very happy, making an inviting gesture: "This way, please."

Gu Fei saw the direction he was pointing and asked again, "Isn't it at the 9527 stone?"

"There?" The person was obviously stunned.

Gu Fei had already seen that the direction he was pointing was opposite to the 9527 stone, and then asked, "Who is teaching there?"

The person withdrew his smile and said, "No one is teaching there now."

"Really? That's such a good place! Why not make use of it?" Gu Fei asked in surprise.

"Brother, don't you know? This business is actually Qian Li Yizui's. Qian Li Yizui, you know him, right? That heartless bastard. Alas, we can only say this behind his back, who would dare to say it in person? See, he occupied the 9527 stone to teach people yesterday. Now, who dares to snatch his territory? Are they tired of living? Brother, if you want to learn from him, I advise you not to. The things are the same, but he charges more, 99 gold coins; secondly, it's also dangerous, you know? He teaches you a few things, and if you can't learn them, he'll kill you directly. I heard that after Qian Li Yizui finished teaching yesterday, his PK value reached a new high. This area was directly surrounded by the city guards, and blood flowed like a river! You see, such a demon, can you learn from him?"

Gu Fei's expression changed unpredictably and beautifully. He endured it and listened to the person finish speaking, and then said with a dark face: "There should be a limit to your nonsense, right?"

The person was anxious and patted his chest and said, "Who is talking nonsense? If I am talking nonsense, may I be struck by Qian Li Yizui and not die well."

"Then may your wish come true!" Gu Fei drew his sword and made a gesture to chop. Dark purple long sword, black mage robe, the person finally knew what kind of person was standing in front of him. He plopped and sat on the ground, and seeing that Gu Fei's sword hadn't fallen yet, he quickly turned around and crawled away, disappearing into a cluster of grass on the side of the road in an instant.

Gu Fei smiled bitterly, while Han Jia Gongzi nodded on the side and said, "It seems that your golden brand is more useful than I thought."

"Too exaggerated." Gu Fei was depressed. He didn't want players to change color when they talked about him.

"Let's go take a look at the place you mentioned." Han Jia Gongzi said, and the two went to the 9527 stone again.

"Who said there was no one, isn't there someone there?" Gu Fei was overjoyed. There was clearly a large group of people gathered at the 9527 stone, and there was a character standing on the stone who seemed to be talking. It seemed that the person's description of him as a demon was indeed exaggerated.

Walking closer, Gu Fei gradually felt something was wrong. The guy standing on the 9527 stone was wearing a black mage robe and a dark purple long sword, which was obviously his cosplay!

Han Jia Gongzi's eyes lit up: "Eh, this guy is stronger than those idiots, and he also knows how to use your brand, I like it!"

Gu Fei's face was dark. He mixed into the crowd and managed to squeeze to the front. After attracting a lot of angry glances, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed, and with an instantaneous movement, he flashed onto the 9527 stone and ripped off the person's mask.
