At this moment, Ouyang Tiantian's heart was bleeding. He thought opening a pet would allow him to show off, but it turned out to be an empty endeavor.
More importantly, the blind box was opened by Ouyang Tiantian himself, so he couldn't blame anyone else.
It could only be said that Ouyang Tiantian's luck was extremely poor.
Out of 100 people, only a few managed to open pets. While others at least got a pet, he got nothing.
"Damn it, is this system targeting me, the third-place winner? How can I not get anything? What kind of broken game is this? I spent so much money, and this is the result!"
"Guild Leader, don't be anxious. Many of the top 100 players who opened pets haven't officially bonded with them yet. You can buy them with money!"
Ouyang Tiantian's expression was grim. He had already spent a lot of money on this useless game, and now he had to spend more to buy something.
"You are also useless. All the guild's resources were funneled to you, and you only managed to get third place. If you had gotten second place, perhaps that top-tier pet would have been mine!"
Being pointed at and scolded, Yu Qi's expression soured.
If it weren't for the Ouyang family poaching him at a high price after Bing Shan Han Yue rejected him, he wouldn't have come.
Now that he was already carrying a bad reputation, Ouyang Tiantian was still calling him useless.
"Guild Leader Ouyang, although you poached me at a high price, it doesn't mean I am your slave!"
Ouyang Tiantian looked at Yu Qi angrily.
"What, you can't be scolded? You're a piece of trash! You took so many benefits from me, and you only got third place! You're not trash, what are you then?"
"You have bad luck, the blind box was for you to open, and now you're taking your anger out on me. I'm not your punching bag!"
"Heh, trash always finds excuses. From today onwards, all your resources will be confiscated. Such trash dares to talk back to me. You won't get any resources from now on!"
Yu Qi said indifferently.
"Heh, I have hands and feet, I don't need your pity!"
Ouyang Tiantian let out a cold laugh, directly pouring a bucket of cold water on Yu Qi.
"Do you really think you can develop on your own? You've underestimated the capabilities of the major families! From now on, just be trash!"
Yu Qi didn't care. With his abilities, it was only a matter of time before various major families vied for him. However, he didn't understand that those major families were not stupid.
If you were rendered useless in the Ouyang family, then in the eyes of other families, you were just trash.
It was even more so for the three major guilds. They would never take in someone who had betrayed their guild.
Furthermore, the contract he signed with the Ouyang family did not allow him to breach it, as he could not afford the penalty.
Ultimately, this person who ranked third in the individual competition disappeared without a trace.
The Ouyang family had directly thrown him into a corner, denying him any time or equipment to develop.
Even if he found a piece of decent equipment, it would be confiscated by the family, forcing him to become an ordinary player, with equipment even worse than that of ordinary players.
Ouyang Tiantian eventually spent four to five hundred thousand to buy the most ordinary pet. No one was willing to sell anything better; only such trash pets were willing to be sold.
However, even such a trash pet cost Ouyang Tiantian four to five hundred thousand. Although this amount was insignificant to the Ouyang family, it was a great embarrassment this time.
Because other families all had pets, only their Ouyang family did not, so he had to buy one reluctantly.
The live broadcast data for the individual competition finals was quite impressive, especially the battle between Dou Youyou and Tian Qi Huang, which attracted hundreds of millions of players.
"Boss, the viewership for this broadcast is very good, surpassing all previous game live broadcast data. It's mainly because the battle between the two hidden professions was extremely spectacular!"
"Yes, this time it was done very well. I was extremely worried that Dou Youyou would instantly defeat Tian Qi Huang. If that happened, not only would this broadcast not achieve the desired effect, but the game's popularity might also decline!"
"Yes, because of the broadcast of this final, the game's popularity has been further boosted. Next is the team battle, and there is no doubt that the Eternal Myth guild will definitely win first place. I just don't know who will take second place!"
"How about this? You can have the publicity department create some buzz, letting players guess the winner of second place. If they guess correctly, we'll offer rewards, not in-game rewards, but real-world ones. This way, players will be happy, and we'll also gain benefits!"
"Understood. I'll discuss it with the planning team!"
"Okay, go ahead!"
After the person left, the boss of the game operating company slowly stood up.
"Myth, myth. Although I named this game, you are completely beyond my control. For any game progress, we can only follow the server's arrangements. This feeling of uncontrollability is truly unbearable!"
But there was nothing that could be done about it. The country had always wanted to control the sovereignty of the server, but they lacked the ability.
This game operating company had been researching this main server for a long time, but they still had no clue.
Any programmer who tried to infiltrate this server host would either be met with an exploding computer or the programmer falling unconscious for no reason.
In short, anyone who tried to study this server would be in for bad luck!
Currently, the game's development was still within a reasonable range, but the appearance of a village chief in the game had indeed troubled many high-level officials.
Because the village chief's existence had disrupted the fairness of the game and the normal growth of the players.
They even speculated whether this village chief might be the consciousness of the server, but this speculation yielded no results.
The server transmitted data to them daily.
Many things allowed them to know in advance.
They had repeatedly asked the server if they could check if the village chief NPC's data was abnormal, but they received no response.
"Forget it, I don't care. What's the use of me worrying about this? Let the people above handle it!"
If the higher-ups knew that the village chief was Zhang Pingfan, perhaps Zhang Ping would be immediately taken for research.
Whether he would be subjected to dissection for research was unknown, but he would definitely be taken away.
Fortunately, Zhang Pingfan maintained his usual low profile. Otherwise, Zhang Ping at this moment would not be ruling the game but lying in some laboratory.
