Hu Die Lan
Chapter 512 Xiaoqiang's Production
Curses erupted, and many people kicked their stools and stood up in a chaotic uproar, like a movie theater emptying out. But everyone was frustrated. There was no order as they left. If the people in front slowed down even a little, they would be cursed at. After who knows how long, the noisy crowd finally dispersed. Many people went straight across the street, threw a few bricks, and made some graffiti on the wall. How could the security guards of Excellent Era dare to come out and stop them?
They had also watched the match, or at least paid attention to the result. As soon as they saw Excellent Era lose again, they knew it was bad. At this point, all they could do was keep the doors tightly shut to prevent people from rushing in and tearing down their base…
Chen Guo stared in shock at the mess in the Internet cafe after the people had left. Many people hadn't done it on purpose, just vented their frustration, but it still caused a lot of damage to her Internet cafe. Chen Guo suddenly realized she had been lucky in disguise. Stopping the broadcast of Excellent Era's matches, although it had reduced the Internet cafe's popularity and income, was a good thing considering Excellent Era's current performance. Otherwise, with each sickening match, her Internet cafe would have become the front line for venting. By the end of the season, the Internet cafe would probably have been torn apart.
While directing people to clean up, she looked towards the door and saw that Ye Xiu had disappeared. Looking around, she saw the lively scene outside the gate of the Excellent Era Club across the street. However, it was not as crowded as last time, because everyone knew that this match was an away game, and not many people were around.
However, although Excellent Era lost this time, they were facing the fierce Samsara team, so the media reports retained some leeway and did not express absolute disappointment.
But after these two consecutive rounds, the miserable haul of 1 point and 2 points caused Excellent Era to slip several places down the rankings. It should be known that their foundation in the league was not strong to begin with. Only recently had they climbed up a few places with their steady performance. This setback caused a severe drop, and they were rushing towards the relegation zone.
"If Excellent Era continues like this, will they be relegated?" Chen Guo asked in surprise when she returned to the second floor and found Ye Xiu not playing the game, but in the living room.
"I don't know…" Ye Xiu stood by the window, looking outside.
Ye Xiu did not go to the game that night, but he got up early the next day and rushed to the private room.
He went online to level up as usual, but soon he received a message from Mo Qiang on QQ.
"Damn, I've been working hard for a week, and I've finally got it done!" Mo Qiang said in the message.
"Everything's ready?" After Ye Xiu had talked to Mo Qiang last time, he simply left Mo Qiang's address for Zhan Lou Lan, and the five account cards were sent directly to Mo Qiang's place, completely handled by him.
"Okay, I'll send you a clip to take a look at first!" Mo Qiang sent a video file to Ye Xiu.
After receiving it, Ye Xiu opened it and saw the words "Little Strong Production" jumping out in a comical way.
"Your intro…" Ye Xiu hesitated.
"Brand awareness is essential!" Mo Qiang replied triumphantly.
"Come on! You're making money from the major clubs. They hate you, but you're putting an intro to deepen their impression of you?" Ye Xiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Hey! You're right. Anyway, I don't have any chance to do business with these clubs. I just want to disgust them," Mo Qiang said.
"Be careful not to piss them off so much that they don't pay you!" Ye Xiu said.
"That's impossible." Mo Qiang sent a sly smile. "I've made preparations. Unless they completely lose face, I really don't believe they dare to refuse to pay."
Ye Xiu said nothing more. He guessed that Mo Qiang had made the transaction transparent. Under the eyes of all the players, the major clubs would definitely not go back on their word. Even if they knew that Mo Qiang's trick had a catch, they would still have to swallow the bitter pill.
But then again, with so many guilds jointly offering the reward, the expenses would have to be split. The amount of money split between them wouldn't even be a bitter pill for the clubs. But as Mo Qiang said, the material loss wasn't the key point. The key was to disgust the clubs.
Ye Xiu didn't say anything about this act of mischief. Of course, he knew that Mo Qiang had always had a strong opinion about the club system and was very unhappy with it.
"Whatever you want! I'm just in charge of collecting the money," Ye Xiu finally sent a helpless expression.
"Keep watching my video! I worked hard for a week. You only watched the intro? How can you be so shameless!" Mo Qiang shouted.
"Watching, watching…" Ye Xiu continued to enjoy the video.
After the intro, it went straight to the main theme: a chaotic battle. Mo Qiang had simply piled all five accounts together to create a team wipe. The camera kept shaking, as if the character filming was also participating in the battle. Until the end, five corpses lay on the ground, and the camera scanned them one by one, capturing their IDs.
"Team wipe, not reviving in the city, but leaving the corpses for you to film? That's too fake, isn't it? You're deliberately trying to disgust them to death!" Ye Xiu said.
"Hahaha, keep watching!" Mo Qiang said.
Ye Xiu continued watching and saw the camera hurrying away, as if the character had retreated to the side, constantly looking around and paying attention to the corpses on the ground. Soon, a priest appeared in the camera, and Ye Xiu immediately understood what the guy was planning.
It was all a show, deliberately creating the illusion that the other side had a priest to save them, and then ambushing them.
"…" Ye Xiu was speechless.
"Haha, actually, the key is to return to the city and come out again, and we have to control five accounts. I'm too lazy to run around. Doing it this way, even if we kill them twice, it only counts as once, which saves trouble!" Mo Qiang said.
"You're doing this too frequently. It's disgusting," Ye Xiu said.
"That's right, that's right. We still give people a chance, so after doing it a few times, I assumed they saw through our actions, so I stopped doing it that way. Anyway, we do whatever is convenient, and we also strive for authenticity! The bigwigs of the club are watching, so it definitely can't be too rough, right?"
"You frequently run around with these five accounts. Haven't you attracted anyone's attention?" Ye Xiu said.
"Who pays attention faster than us? Don't even mention it. Every time, I would send a message to inform the club that I had seen the whereabouts of these five people. But these club guys are really sons of bitches. These accounts are just used to fool people. Every time, they don't care. I've never seen their people come over. I guess that's the same for others who report information. Fortunately, I'm more skilled. Little Strong Production, self-produced and self-sold. I feel so comfortable making this money," Mo Qiang babbled.
"In the end, you killed them all until they were bald?" Ye Xiu asked. Killing them until they were bald meant killing all their experience. Although the level still remained at 70, when you opened the character panel, the bloody attributes could make people cry.
"Hey, speaking of this, I miscalculated a bit. The lowest level in Glory is level 1, not level 0. So killing them bald from level 70 only results in level 69. Each level is 500 yuan, so five characters at level 69 is 172,500 yuan. It's not right to calculate it as 175,000!" Mo Qiang rambled on.
"I'm just asking you what the final amount is…" Ye Xiu said.
"Not killed bald. Killing them bald isn't very realistic. I rounded it off to 150,000," Mo Qiang said.
"You're not being very realistic either," Ye Xiu said.
"Isn't it easier for us to split 150,000? We do whatever is convenient. That's what we're after," Mo Qiang said.
"Alright, alright, I've finished watching the video. Do whatever you need to do!" Ye Xiu said.
"I want to put it up for a few more days, but I'm a little afraid that these guys will suddenly withdraw the reward. I heard that so many days have passed, and you haven't been chased and killed by them? That's too despairing. Can you give people some hope? Die once or twice. We have a lot of money waiting for you! Make some sacrifices, okay? Make some!" Mo Qiang pleaded.
"Stop talking nonsense. If you're afraid that people will withdraw the reward, hurry up," Ye Xiu said.
"But I also think that if they can't kill you, maybe they'll raise the price? If they raise it by 1,000, these people next to them will have to follow suit, right? If it goes up by 200, we can make a fortune!" Mo Qiang said.
"Raise you by 250! Stop being greedy. If the number is too big, aren't you afraid that the club will go back on their word? Even a sucker has a limit, right!" Ye Xiu said.
"Right, right, you're right. Okay, let's do that! I'm going to ask for the money. Leave me an account. I'll transfer the money to you later," Mo Qiang said.
"Don't rush. I have a batch of things that I need. Take a look and help me get them," Ye Xiu said.
"What things?" Mo Qiang asked.
A list was sent to him. Mo Qiang took it and scanned the items, and immediately understood, "You're using these materials to upgrade the Silver weapon in your hand!"
"Yeah!"
"Looks like you're upgrading it to level 50?" Mo Qiang said. Equipment and materials all have levels. Although the materials used to make a piece of equipment may not be limited in level, they are mainly based on the level of the finished product. It is easy to determine the level of the equipment by looking at the material list.
"Yes."
"I don't have a lot of the things on this list. This isn't a weapon, it's a set of equipment!" Mo Qiang exclaimed.
"But you definitely have a way. The money is with you. Help me get everything together. Is it enough?" Ye Xiu said.
"Hard to say. Orange equipment is simple, but three of your materials are from Wild Bosses. Most of those are controlled by the clubs. It's hard for the studios to have any. Even if they do, they'll take the opportunity to rip you off. You know that," Mo Qiang said.
"Yeah, I know," Ye Xiu nodded. These materials with limited production don't have a market price because they are too rare to form a market. Rare goods are always in demand. If the studios get them, they will definitely wait for the right time to sell them.
"Leave it to me first!" Mo Qiang said.
