"Crap! We've been discovered! " The two stalkers noticed that Gu Fei had turned around and glanced at them. They immediately strode towards them. Halfway there, they even pulled out their Dark Night Streamlight Swords.
The two immediately turned around to leave, but they were no match for Gu Fei's speed. He teleported in front of them and stared at them, "Who are you two?"
The two didn't answer. It was as if they didn't even see Gu Fei. They lowered their heads and wanted to take a detour. Gu Fei had been in the game for a long time. He had been peeped on, ambushed, cursed at, slashed, and dodged. However, he had never been ignored. Gu Fei didn't know if these two brats were pretending to be stupid. He felt that he had to teach them a lesson, so he immediately swung his sword. He didn't use any spells. He was afraid that it would be too bold and cut them to death.
However, just as the swords were about to reach their bodies, a system notification rang out. The two fellows turned their heads and smiled at Gu Fei. Without stopping, they left in a carefree manner.
"What's going on?" Hundred Eras Jinglan was surprised. He didn't expect Gu Fei to lose two normal people. He took a step forward to chase after them, but Gu Fei smiled bitterly, "Don't chase after them. They're not even level 10."
Players who were not level 10 were protected by the PVP system. No one could touch players below level 10. Gu Fei didn't receive a system notification, but a warning. The system told him that attacking players below level 10 was shameful. If he continued, it wouldn't matter if he didn't kill them or not.
"They're not even Level 10 …" Hundred Eras Strategist was also someone who had experienced fighting and killing, so he knew the most basic PK rule. The two players were not even Level 10 yet, which meant that they were at the peak of the legendary realm, "If he's strong, let him be strong. If he's strong, let him be strong. If he's strong, let him be strong."
Gu Fei and Hundred Eras Jinglan helplessly watched the two leave. At this moment, they received a message from Deepwater, "I've sent you a teleportation scroll. Make the coordinates and send it back to me."
Gu Fei hurriedly went to the mailbox at the city gate to retrieve the scroll. He recorded the coordinates and sent it back. Deepwater was obviously waiting by the mailbox. After three seconds, Gu Fei saw a white light appear beside him. Deepwater and Lu Ke walked out of the white light. When Lu Ke saw Gu Fei, she was not in a good mood. She snorted twice as a greeting. This girl still remembered the pile of things that Gu Fei had stirred up. Although it was later proven that there was indeed a problem with the Water Breaking Arrow, the problem was caused by Gu Fei. This person looked like a troublemaker.
On the other hand, Deepwater was in high spirits. As soon as he walked out of the white light, he saw Gu Fei and asked, "Where's Wu Ye?"
"He said he went to draft the contract," Gu Fei said as he introduced the Hundred Eras Statesman. "You know the Hundred Eras Statesman, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Deepwater said.
"This is Depth of Water," Gu Fei introduced to Encyclopedic Statesman.
"The Five Roaches!" Eccentric Statesman expressed his goodwill to Shui Shen.
"I can't bear to look back on the past!" Deepwater sighed.
"Why not?" Encyclopedic Classics had just found out today that the Five Roaches had been updated.
Gu Fei interrupted, "I was the one who hacked them."
Although everyone had let bygones be bygones, this was clearly not a happy topic. Shui Shen looked around and asked, "Where's the Sword Ghoul? And that idiot. "When he mentioned a certain idiot, Shui Shen's gritted teeth were definitely not fake.
"They're leveling up!" Gu Fei said.
"Why did you guys come to Moonlit Night City?" Shui Shen asked.
Gu Fei and the others were doing this for a living. It was not a shameful thing, so he told them everything.
"Oh oh, efficient leveling method! Tsk tsk! Then when are you coming to Forest Shade City to give us some pointers? How much? "Shui Shen asked.
"500,000!" Eccentric Statesman was very happy when he heard that there was business again. He knew that the price for the Ten Guilds Alliance was 500,000, but he didn't know that it was a favor price, not the market price. Even so, this price still shocked Shui Shen. The Ten Guilds Alliance had more than 4,000 players. Shui Shen's guild had just reached Level 6, with only 1,050 players. The population base was different, so the per capita burden was naturally different. 500,000 was 500 gold coins per person. For Gu Fei and the others who were already rich, 500 gold coins was nothing. But for normal players, having more than 100 assets was a huge sum, and having more than 1,000 assets was a rich person.
"Since we're so familiar with each other, give us a discount!" Shui Shen said.
"Hehe, go talk to the Sword Ghoul and the others later!" Gu Fei had already made it clear that he wanted to do them a favor.
Shui Shen didn't hold back and nodded repeatedly, "Sure, sure."
"However, most of the players there are Archers, and the Archer's leveling method is the least efficient." Gu Fei said.
"What do you mean?" Shui Shen frowned.
"The efficient leveling method is all close combat, and Archers are more restricted." Gu Fei told the truth.
"We'll talk about this later, the key is to give them a discount!" Shui Shen said.
Gu Fei smiled helplessly.
"Right, did Old Duan still bother you guys?" Shui Shen asked.
"Yes, he's been bothering him for the past two days!" Gu Fei said.
"And then?"
"And then? Just kill him! "Gu Fei said.
Shui Shen wiped his sweat and changed the topic, "Why is Five Nights so slow? Damn, the efficiency of the studio is getting worse and worse. Don't they have a standard contract? Don't tell me they wrote it at the last minute? "
Gu Fei didn't understand this, so he naturally couldn't interrupt. However, he noticed that Five Nights said he was going offline to draft a contract, but his name was still lit up. The two of them had added each other as friends in the BBQ shop, so Gu Fei didn't ask much. He just waited! Since he had nothing to do, he called Shui Shen and Lu Ke to find a tavern to sit down. This was the first time these two had returned to Moonlit Night City. From the city gate to the tavern, they saw eight PK murders along the way. Some were seeking revenge, some were asking for a fight, and some were quarreling and killing after bumping into each other.
"As expected of Moonlit Night City, it really lives up to its name!!" Shui Shen sighed.
At this time, the two players who weren't even level 10 left Gu Fei and Hundred Eras Strategist's line of sight and reported the situation to Weeds.
"We were discovered so quickly?" Weeds frowned, "How could you be so careless? I even told you to be careful. This is a big deal."
The two felt wronged, "I don't know. We were indeed very careful, but we were still discovered."
"Then did you guys discover anything?"
"No, we just had our eyes on them," the two said.
"Then what happened after we were discovered?"
"Thousand Miles Drunk came over with a sword and was about to make a move. We just left like before," the two said.
They were indeed violent … Weeds wiped his sweat. It seemed like he wasn't just scaring them when he threatened to kill them in the BBQ shop.
"Alright, you two can go!" Weed sent the two of them away and immediately reported to Five Nights.
Five Nights was furiously writing the contract! Shui Shen really understood the studio. They indeed had all kinds of standard contracts, and big studios like Inky also had many in the game for them to discuss business directly in the game. It was just that this project with Gu Fei was a completely new industry, so Five Nights couldn't find a suitable format. Thus, he found a similar one and revised it. He couldn't directly edit it in the game like on a computer, so he could only make a stack of paper and copy it.
"We were discovered? You didn't find anything? "Five Nights frowned when he heard the report. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will always be victorious! Five Nights didn't have any malicious intentions when he sent the two to monitor them. He just wanted to understand Gu Fei and Hundred Eras Jingren's whereabouts. He wanted to know if they would do anything related to the upcoming negotiations so that he could take the initiative. Now that they were disconnected after just a few minutes, he was naturally a little hesitant.
"Forget it, I'll act according to the situation!" Five Nights thought about it and couldn't do anything else. He could only hurry up and get the contract done. After thinking for a while, he sent a message to Gu Fei and Hundred Eras Jingren, telling them that he was currently working on the contract in the game and that he would show it to them in a moment.
"It's still more convenient to communicate face to face!" Five Nights' reason was very reasonable.
"Five Nights is working on the contract in the game. He'll show it to us in a moment," Gu Fei said.
"Yes, I'm looking forward to it." Shui Shen nodded.
The four of them had been sitting in the tavern for about half an hour. The four of them really couldn't find a common topic to talk about. They would often fall into an awkward silence after a few words, and in the end, they would just ignore each other. Lu Ke felt bored and pulled Shui Shen to go shopping with her. Shui Shen had no choice but to agree. The two of them were about to leave when Gu Fei suddenly said, "There's news. The contract is done!!"
"Heh, you're quite quick. Where do we meet? Let's go! "Shui Shen said.
"Let's go!" Gu Fei led the way. The place where Five Nights was supposed to meet was Inky's BBQ.
Not long after they left, they came back again. Weeds welcomed them outside the door. Seeing that Gu Fei and Hundred Eras Jingren had brought two more people, he asked in confusion, "These two are?"
"Oh, they're my friends. They came to take a look." Gu Fei said.
Shui Shen smiled at Weeds, "Brother, what's your name?"
"Weeds." Weeds said.
"Newbie! Do a good job and you'll have a bright future! "Shui Shen patted Weeds' shoulder and took the lead to enter. Weeds was confused by his actions, but seeing that people were entering one after another, he hurriedly followed and said, "It's still the same place as before."
In the private room, everyone met. Gu Fei originally thought that there would be a storm of blood as soon as they met. He had already prepared his sword, but who would have thought that Five Nights' reaction was exactly the same as Weeds. When he saw Shui Shen and Lu Ke, he immediately asked in confusion, "These two are?"
Gu Fei was startled. He immediately realized that the two's acquaintance was probably limited to the internet. They didn't meet face to face, so they didn't know each other.
As expected, Shui Shen also messaged him at this time, "Which one is Five Nights?"
"Let's talk." Gu Fei hurriedly replied. Then, he saw Shui Shen put on a fake smile and said, "Hehe, I'm his friend. I heard about this, so I came to take a look."
"Oh! Welcome, welcome! "Five Nights didn't forget his etiquette and hurriedly gave up his seat to the two of them. This private room was quite big, so it wouldn't be a problem to seat two more people.
After Shui Shen sat down, he immediately took the initiative and said carelessly, "Where's the contract? Take it out and let me see."
There was already a stack of paper on the table. Five Nights pushed it over and smiled. "I just drafted this. It's a bit rushed. If there are any mistakes or mistakes, please don't take offense."
"Oh right, I haven't asked …" Five Nights was asking for Shui Shen's name, but Shui Shen didn't answer. After taking the contract and glancing at it, he said contemptuously, "Profit sharing contract?"
"Yes!" Five Nights smiled and nodded.
"Hmph!" Shui Shen snorted coldly and picked up the contract. His eyes glanced randomly at the contract. He originally thought that it was the same old trick, so he was thinking about where to start. But after a few glances, his expression became more and more surprised. He couldn't help but glance at Five Nights.
The profit sharing contract was a trick. This was never a secret, and it wasn't exclusive to the studio. But in other industries, there were more or less restrictions. But in the studio, which didn't have a complete legal system, it was used extremely arrogantly. Many studios didn't even think about the profit sharing contract. Today, Gu Fei actually took the initiative to propose this method. At that time, Five Nights and the others could only be described as the sky and earth turning upside down. He actually took the initiative to propose a profit sharing with the studio. How many novices didn't understand the gaming industry? It was hard to imagine that between these two people, one was the number one expert in the game, and the other was a top-notch character like the Five Roaches.
How could Five Nights miss such a wonderful opportunity? Naturally, he went with the flow. He pretended to think for a while before accepting, afraid that the other party would be suspicious. But in the end, Five Nights felt that Gu Fei still had his guard up. He said that he would ask a friend …
Five Nights didn't know who this friend was, but as long as one wasn't too inexperienced, they would probably know about the dirty inside story of the studio. At this time, if Five Nights still wanted to treat this as a pie falling from the sky, he would be a little too stupid. His draft contract had made some corrections to several obvious traps. At first glance, at this time, Water Depth actually didn't find any problems, so he was naturally very surprised.
"Could it be that the way the studio does things has changed?" Water Depth was puzzled. But he really couldn't accept this idea. He was a character who had dealt with many studios. He really understood the dirty methods that these people used to accumulate money. Suddenly turning over a new leaf? They should at least give a reason! Recently, he hadn't heard of any laws and regulations in the field of online gaming studios.
While thinking, Water Depth began to carefully study the contract. Gu Fei also realized that the situation wasn't right. At first, Water Depth came in arrogantly, with the word "trample" written on his face. But after picking up the contract, the situation immediately changed. Water Depth was obviously a little unprepared, while Five Nights seemed to have a card up his sleeve. It seemed like he was very confident in this contract.
"What's the situation?" Gu Fei sent a message to ask Water Depth. This was the biggest advantage in the game. He could secretly communicate without leaving any traces.
"The contract is very suspicious." Water Depth replied.
"Oh? Why is it suspicious? "Gu Fei asked.
"It's not suspicious. This is the most suspicious thing about it." Water Depth said, but the contract had already flipped to the last page. Five Nights had been watching his every move with a smile. Seeing that he had already reached the last page, after waiting for a while, he immediately took the opportunity to ask, "How is it? Are there any problems with the contract?"
After this round, Water Depth swept through the contract. Some of the loopholes that he was familiar with had actually been patched in this contract. At present, there was only one problem, and that was the transparency of the accounts in the contract. Just as Water Depth was about to raise this question, he didn't expect Five Nights to see that he didn't speak for a long time. Unexpectedly, Five Nights spoke first, "Currently, there is only one problem, and that is the problem of the details of the accounts. According to the normal operation, the final income is based on the tax bill. But I see that you all are also understanding people, so I will not beat around the bush. Our studio's operation has a little difficulty in paying taxes, so we generally don't use the tax bill as the basis. So as for the final basis, we have to discuss it carefully. "
Water Depth was surprised. He didn't expect that Five Nights had become so cunning after not dealing with him for so long. Obviously, this guy had planned to eat Gu Fei and Encyclopedic Strategist like they were rookies from the beginning. But just when Gu Fei suspected that there was a trick, he also found that Gu Fei had become vigilant. This guy didn't have the slightest bit of wishful thinking and decisively made such a contract. In this way, his sinister intentions from the beginning were all covered up. Now, there was no problem with this contract at all. The only problem that was difficult to solve was the account problem in the division of profits. This guy even openly brought it to the table for discussion. In this way, this guy had gained a firm foothold.
As for the following division of accounts, if this problem was so easy to solve, would it still be a cancerous existence? This guy put this problem on the table to show his fairness, but as a problem that couldn't be solved cleanly, what could he do in the end? At this time, what Five Nights put out was no longer a conspiracy, but an open conspiracy. This matter is in front of you, how do you want to deal with it?
How do I deal with it? Water Depth had a headache. Although Five Nights was cunning, Water Depth could see that he was quite sincere in this cooperation. Working with them was indeed a good opportunity to make money. But in this situation, it had to be said that Gu Fei's initiative to split the profits was a major mistake. It was very awkward now. He couldn't jump in knowing that he would lose, right? But now he changed his mind and said that he didn't want to split the profits and wanted to do something else? There was no suitable reason for this at all. In this way, even if the other party accepted, they would use this as a bargaining chip to lower the asking price …
Water Depth was depressed. He didn't expect Five Nights to have evolved to the point that he couldn't handle it. He didn't expect Gu Fei to say at this time, "You can't figure out the accounts? Aiya, if we can't figure this out, I'm afraid there's no way we can continue this cooperation, right? "
Five Nights smiled and said, "That's right, so we still have to plan it out."
Water Depth sneered. Plan? This guy wouldn't use his brain on this matter!
Unexpectedly, Gu Fei nodded and said, "Then we'll have to trouble Brother Five Nights. We'll wait for your news."
"Ah?" Five Nights was stunned.
"We don't really understand this matter, so we'll have to trouble Brother Five Nights to think of a suitable plan." Gu Fei said sincerely.
Seeing Five Nights' face that didn't know whether to laugh or cry, Water Depth suddenly couldn't help but laugh out loud. Today, he finally understood what it meant to be firm without desires. No matter how sinister Five Nights was, unfortunately, he sincerely wanted to do this business. Encountering such a person who didn't have much sincerity, he could only be eaten alive!
