"It's not that complicated. To sum it up, he sold them out and made them take the blame. Isn't that right, Water Depth?" Lu Ke said.
"I don't like the way you phrased it." Water Depth said seriously, "Strictly speaking, the project he was managing was my bargaining chip. I was right about the project, not the person. It just so happened that he was in charge of the project and became the target of everyone's suspicion, so the blame was put on his head. In all honesty, I didn't plan this, I'm not that person! "
"What's the matter? You two don't talk in riddles, speak clearly." Gu Fei said.
"How do I tell you this!" Water Depth draped his arm over Gu Fei's shoulder and said, "Once upon a time, I was a middleman in the online gaming world …"
"Tsk …" Lu Ke snorted.
"Just kill her!" Water Depth begged Gu Fei.
"Really?" Gu Fei touched his sword.
"Don't …" Water Depth was scared, this guy doesn't have a sense of humor.
"I'm just scaring you." Gu Fei laughed, "Why don't we let Lu Ke talk!"
"Hmph, let him talk, I don't have the time." Lu Ke said.
"Then don't interrupt!" Water Depth solemnly cleared his throat, "Where were we? Yes, once upon a time, I was a middleman in the online gaming world. This is a very technical job, it requires a sharp eye for the market, courage to move forward, and most importantly: accurate information from multiple sources. In order to do this job well, I applied for a number of sockpuppets and mingled in the popular service areas of the major gaming studios. Speaking of which, one day, in a server in the online game Legend of Chivalry, I found Five Nights with a group of studio brothers sweeping up goods. By the way, do you know about this game? "
"I don't know." Gu Fei shook his head.
"Tsk … I don't know … You wouldn't understand even if I explained it in detail! Do you understand sweeping up goods? "
"I don't understand …" Gu Fei said.
"Why are you asking if you don't understand anything?" Dissatisfied, Gu Fei touched his sword. Shen Shui nodded. "If you don't understand, then learn. That's how young people are …"
"This is a common occurrence before major updates in the game, but at that time, there was no system announcement about the updates in Legend of Chivalry. For this to happen, the studio must have received some insider information. As a second-hand trafficker, what I sell are the intelligence gathered by spies on all sides! After seeing what Five Nights was looking for, he immediately logged into the sockpuppets of the other studios and spread the news. Hence, in "Legend of Chivalry", all the studios that were established in the game came out to sweep up the goods. This was originally the exclusive insider news of Five Nights' studio. Suddenly, it was known to the whole city. Of course, everyone knew that there was a traitor. What a pity! At that time, their studio seemed to suspect that Five Nights was a mole. In fact, I didn't know why they suspected him. It couldn't be because he was in charge of sweeping the goods, right? Anyway, I heard that he was fired by the studio. Tut-tut! "said Deepwater.
After hearing this, Gu Fei was very puzzled. "Then what benefits did you get from this?"
Deepwater glanced at him and said, "That's why I said you're still a little inexperienced! In that era, this kind of information was extremely valuable. No matter who the person who provided this kind of information was, as long as the information was accurate, there would be a bonus. Otherwise, where did you think Five Nights and the others got their insider information from? That was also because someone in the game had dirty hands and feet and received a huge bonus. Now, I've revealed this information to five studios at once and received a bonus from five studios. In the end, I even got a profit bonus. Isn't this benefit enough? "
"Of course," Deepwater paused and said, "My main goal wasn't this bonus. At that time, I just didn't like the studio that was messing around in the game all day. Anyway, whatever they were doing, I just wanted to make some trouble. Originally, it was one studio that was quietly sweeping up the goods. Now that so many studios have started to snatch up the goods, it's unknown how much those two things can sell for. Now that I've acquired them, the studios are competing with each other to raise the price. No matter what, it's also cutting into their profits. "
"Oh …" Gu Fei nodded. Deepwater's matter was simple. It was just a few sockpuppets passing information and stirring up trouble. But he was able to do this because the seeds he had planted had already blossomed and borne fruit. How to get so many sockpuppets to infiltrate the various studios and gain their trust one by one was the most difficult part of the sowing process.
"At that time, no one knew it was me. Later on, one of my sockpuppets was accidentally exposed. That second-hand dealer building of mine collapsed in an instant. It's really a bitter loss for me!" Deepwater sighed.
"If one of your sockpuppets was exposed, why would the other sockpuppets be exposed as well?" Gu Fei didn't understand.
"Sigh, you don't know. This is because sometimes I use two or more sockpuppets to put on a two-man show for others to see. When people don't know what's going on, they won't be able to see through it. But when they realize that one of them is a mole, they can investigate the mole's past and find out all of them. "Deepwater said.
"How is it a two-man show?" Gu Fei asked.
"It's simple. For example, today we're negotiating with two studios. I'm Five Nights. I discovered a project, so I suggested to the boss that I wanted to find a studio to cooperate with. The boss said it's fine and you can go and contact them! So I opened up Deepwater's account again and told the boss that the other studio has some kind of project and wants to cooperate with us. The boss also said it's fine and you can go and take a look. So Five Nights went home and reported that he had contacted Deepwater. Deepwater went home and reported that he had contacted Five Nights. Alright, let's talk! It's me on the left and right. What the hell is there to talk about? Let's put on a two-man show! "Deepwater said.
"You're too talented!!!" Gu Fei exclaimed.
But Deepwater was very ashamed: "I can't do it. I still haven't mastered it. Later on, I was exposed because of this matter. There was a time when five studios had a meeting and opened a chat group. I opened up five QQ accounts to deal with them. Damn it, I got dizzy and one of the accounts said the wrong thing. Those dogs' eyes were really sharp. I just said something wrong and I was actually discovered. In an instant, I was caught by the roots. It turned out that after so many things, there were still some flaws. Now that there was a breakthrough, didn't I get caught? Fortunately, I had the foresight and found a half-baked hacker friend to disguise all the IP addresses. It was enough to fool those people. At that time, those people said that they wanted to hire assassins to kill me. Damn it, I don't know if they hired them or not. You say, to deal with me, how much money would they need to hire an assassin? "
As Deepwater said this, he started to look forward to it. Gu Fei wiped his sweat and said: "Then now that you've appeared in public, aren't you afraid of revenge?"
Deepwater laughed and said: "Things have changed! Back then, out of the few studios that I worked with, three of them have already collapsed. Two of them changed bosses, and one of them went to earn foreign exchange. Only Sincerity has developed to a certain scale now. But they're now regular big companies, so they don't care about these old things. Heh, now it seems that this big hatred is gone. Only Comrade Five Nights' small resentment is left. "
Five Nights was indeed worthy of resentment. From the beginning to the end, Five Nights didn't provoke anyone. He was completely the scapegoat for what Deepwater had done. At that time, Five Nights, who was fired from the studio, must have been full of grievances. For this kind of thing, even if Deepwater was exposed in the future, everyone's energy would be focused on strongly condemning Deepwater. Who would think of vindicating the victim of this incident? Water Depth was obviously prejudiced against the studio and everyone in the studio, so he didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt for indirectly harming Wu Ye. He even excitedly enjoyed the reaction of the person involved when he saw him in the future. It was really cruel. And now that Gu Fei understood the whole story, he was also cruel enough. He actually didn't sympathize with Five Nights. It was really in the process of dealing with Five Nights today, this guy's selfish calculations made Gu Fei look down on him.
Five Nights felt that Gu Fei and the others weren't sincere about the cooperation, but unexpectedly, Gu Fei also felt that his behavior was even more insincere. Gu Fei thought that if there was sincerity in the negotiation, he would give a price in his heart, and you would give a price in your heart. Everyone would negotiate and compromise, and everyone would be happy. As for the cooperation, the original intention was for everyone to get rich together. That was sincerity. Five Nights was like that, starting from his own interests and thinking of ways to force the cooperation to give up profits. Gu Fei didn't feel that this was sincerity at all. Especially when Five Nights said that the Hundred Lives Classic calculated decades of living expenses and said that it had nothing to do with the current negotiation, Gu Fei felt that it was a joke. This kind of guy didn't even think about why he wanted to earn money. He only wanted to earn money. His vision was simply not good enough.
Five Nights felt that Gu Fei and the others didn't understand business and were insincere. In fact, Gu Fei's vision was higher. Five Nights' business methods were simply petty in his eyes. He didn't have the demeanor of a big boss. He could run a small business, but he wasn't cut out for a big business. Gu Fei didn't even care about this kind of person, so he couldn't sympathize with him. Right now, he only wanted this business deal to be done quickly and help the Hundred Lives Classic get out of this predicament.
"How is it? My past is considered glorious, right?" Deepwater said.
"Glorious." Gu Fei nodded.
"It's a pity that in this kind of game environment, there's no such opportunity!" Deepwater shook his head and sighed.
Gu Fei was speechless. He didn't like Five Nights, but it wasn't to the extent that he hated all the studios and their members like Deepwater. This guy's realm was too high.
"Then, what about the guild closing down? What's going on? Tell me as much as you can! "Gu Fei said.
"That matter, that matter is too complicated …" Deepwater said, "And … we don't want to talk about it anymore."
"You better not ask Sword Ghost, I don't think he'll be willing to talk about it." Lu Ke said to Gu Fei.
"Is that so …" Gu Fei could only agree. The four of them then chatted for a while and left Inch's BBQ. Because it was a shop opened by the studio, Deepwater had already gritted his teeth and was prepared to fiercely bargain the price. In the end, Five Nights had already instructed them to waive the bill. Thus, Deepwater adjusted his strategy and decided to come over and eat three meals a day, then ask the other party to waive the bill.
"If you have so much free time, why don't you help us with market research? When the time comes, we'll split the bonus with you." Gu Fei said.
Deepwater laughed, "I was just joking before. I didn't help because it's a very time-consuming job and I don't have the time recently. The battle for the main city is getting closer and closer, and all the guilds are actively preparing for it. As the guild leader, I have to keep an eye on them all day. Hurry up and teach us the efficient leveling method. Why don't you come with me on the plane now? I have a ticket with me! "
"I'm still teaching the people from the Ten Guild Alliance. The method they're learning is very complicated, so I still have to give them some guidance." Gu Fei was in a difficult position. Deepwater had just helped them a lot, so it was hard for him to refuse this request. However, the matter with Cloud Twilight wasn't over yet! The leveling method was quite complicated, so Gu Fei still had to give them a lot of pointers. While Five Nights was tormenting them, Cloud Twilight and the others were still bitterly waiting!
"Then I'll leave you a ticket. After you're done teaching them, fly directly to my place." Deepwater said.
"Alright!" Gu Fei nodded.
"Then we'll go back first. Tell Sword Ghost for me. If they're free, they can come over too!" Deepwater said.
"Okay, I'll ask them." Gu Fei said. For the current them, teleportation scrolls weren't much. As long as they had the goods, money wasn't a problem.
Deepwater and Lu Ke teleported back to Shady Forest City, while Gu Fei and Hundred Eras Jinglin headed towards Silent Night Valley. In addition to leveling with the Ten Guild Alliance, Gu Fei also had to ask these well-connected experts if there were any trustworthy friends who could come and help him with the market research.
In Silent Night Valley, Cloud Twilight and the others continued to sweat profusely. They were already very familiar with the leveling method for solo leveling, and their improvement in leveling with two players wasn't small either. At the very least, they wouldn't be used as sandbags by monsters anymore. Seeing Gu Fei and Hundred Eras Jinglin return, a group of people surrounded them. They didn't even ask about the leveling method, but instead asked about the business. Tens of millions of gold coins! Who wouldn't care?
"It went well." Gu Fei said.
"Awesome! Too awesome! "Everyone praised. Jiannan You and the others were even more envious. Look at them! The money earned in this game could easily be worth tens of millions just by doing a part-time job. I'm just barely making ends meet by working myself to death. If they could earn tens of millions in one go, then they could play games in peace for the rest of their lives … Jiannan You and the others' pursuit was the same as Hundred Eras Jinglin's. They wanted to earn enough money to play games in peace, while Hundred Eras Jinglin wanted to earn enough money to play martial arts in peace.
"They need us to do an evaluation of the cost and profit of this deal with them. Both Baishi and I don't know much about it! Big Nan, are you guys good at this? " Gu Fei directly asked Jiannan You. He wanted to fight for this kind of opportunity to earn money for these guys.
"This … I'm afraid we're not as professional as their studio!" Jiannan You and the others hadn't done such professional and meticulous work before, so they didn't dare to casually agree.
"What professionalism! The two of us don't know anything, so we're afraid of being tricked by them. That guy called Five Nights thought of a way to let you slip in. He's too sinister. "Gu Fei said.
At the mention of sinister, everyone couldn't help but look at Young Master Han. This guy should be dealt with by him! In the end, what welcomed everyone was Young Master Han's middle finger. Everyone quickly turned around as if nothing had happened.
"If that's the case, then leave it to us! We won't be tricked so easily. "Jiannan You expressed his stance. He believed that he wasn't easy to deal with.
"Let's discuss how to split the money after we earn it back!" Gu Fei said. "We don't know the exact amount yet!"
"You're so cunning. Wouldn't Comrade Da Nan risk his life to keep a close eye on the money for you?" Young Master Han suddenly interjected.
But Jiannan You only smiled slightly. They had already seen Gu Fei's character very clearly. They didn't have to worry about money at all if they followed him. This person didn't pursue money. He would think of everyone when there were benefits. It was really a blessing to have a boss like this. So, Jiannan You and the others didn't mind at all if Gu Fei played a trick like Young Master Han had pointed out. They just nodded and agreed.
"Alright, then let's wait for Five Nights' news! Old Yun, how's your leveling going? If you have any more questions, hurry up and ask. I'm in a hurry to go to the next guild! "Gu Fei said.
"Next guild? Where? "Cloud Twilight was vigilant. Every guild in Moonlit Night City was their competitor. Cloud Twilight obviously hoped that Gu Fei wouldn't accept any more business from Moonlit Night City, but he knew that this was only his own wishful thinking. Now that he heard that Gu Fei had found another guild after going out for a while, Cloud Twilight could only ask around first. In the future, he would have to pay attention to this guild.
"Water Depth asked me to go over and teach her!" Gu Fei saw that everyone was looking at him and hurriedly said.
When Cloud Twilight heard that Gu Fei was from Shady Forest City, his mood changed. He hurriedly went up with his companions to ask Gu Fei questions about leveling as a duo.
Everyone in Young Master's elite group couldn't go up to him, so they all asked in the chat, "How much is Water Depth?"
"You beast! Don't you know Water Depth? How dare you ask for money! "Gu Fei said with disdain.
Everyone hurriedly retorted, "We're afraid that you're a beast, asking for money even for Water Depth."
Brother You muttered, "Why do I feel that ever since we made an agreement with Amethyst Rebirth, we don't need them for our business anymore?"
"Amethyst Rebirth? What agreement? "Gu Fei wasn't there at that time, so he didn't know about it.
When Gu Fei heard Brother You's explanation, he didn't think much of it. He continued to urge Yun Zhongmu and the others to level up, leaving Brother You alone to worry about it. The idea of Amethyst Rebirth and Amethyst Rebirth were all his ideas. If he didn't fulfill the last agreement, would these girls cause trouble for him? Brother You shuddered when he thought about how Non-Smiler had been taught a lesson by them in the tavern.
"What? Proud Emperor and Weed??? " On the other side, Gu Fei was supervising the duo's leveling, while he chatted with Cloud Twilight. Cloud Twilight wanted to get some information about the workshops in Moonlit Night City. The workshop's power was very big, so he had to pay attention to it, especially when a major event like the Main City Battle was about to begin. As they chatted, they naturally brought up Proud Emperor and Weed. Cloud Twilight didn't think that these two biggest competitors of his guild were actually members of Fancy Workshop, and they were the bosses of Moonlit Night City. This wasn't good news for them.
