West of Silvermoon City, coordinates (– 12,0254).
An SN600 bulletproof energy SUV drove on a road full of yellow sand, constantly passing by player vehicles that were traveling in the same direction.
"Old Wu, what's going on? You can tell me in detail now."
Feng Luo sat in the back of the car and asked Mu Wu, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, while drinking an iced beverage from the car's refrigerator.
"Yesterday, when Mu Zi's team was doing a mission, they discovered an underground ruin area more than 10 miles south of the Lu Conglomerate. At the same time, they triggered an exploration mission!"
Mu Wu said with a gloomy face as he drove.
"Exploration of the ruin area. This kind of mission usually rewards a lot of merit points. Mu Zi's luck is pretty good," Feng Luo said.
According to the game's official setting, the goal of players as adventurers was to explore the ruins of the past and destroy mutated monsters. Therefore, both could be rewarded with federal merit points.
Especially in a Relic Area, players who explored it for the first time would usually be able to obtain equipment that was of a higher grade than what they would obtain later on. Therefore, an undiscovered Relic Area was naturally extremely valuable!
"Because there were a large number of Elite monsters above Level 40 in the ruin area, coupled with the configuration of their team, it was not a lineup suitable for exploration!
So, in the end, they were only able to explore one-third of the area before they were forced to return!
However, when they walked out of the ruin, they were ambushed by another team. Because of their insufficient supplies and the sneak attack, the team was wiped out! "
Mu Wu said in a low voice.
"…"
Feng Luo did not say anything.
To be honest, this kind of thing happened every day in War, so he did not feel too angry. However, with Mu Wu's personality, there was obviously another reason for him to say this with such an expression.
"Among the team that killed them, eight of them were players from the Lu Conglomerate's head office!"
When Mu Wu said this, his expression under the gold-rimmed glasses became even gloomier.
"Huh? People from the Lu Conglomerate? "
Feng Luo frowned, and his expression became slightly gloomy.
"Actually, when I refused to merge the Nightless City Club into the Lu Conglomerate guild, it was not entirely out of selfish considerations of wanting to seize power."
Mu Wu said faintly as he sped up the energy SUV.
"Nightless City is an entertainment center used by the Lu Conglomerate to befriend some upper-class people. One-third of the club players are important customers!"
"For these customers, they don't want to be restricted when they play games. However, once they join the Lu Conglomerate, even if they are VIPs or senior members, they will still feel uncomfortable!"
"Not bad!"
Feng Luo nodded. For diamond VIP customers like Sister Rui and Chairman Qian, it was clear that they did not care whether the guild they joined was strong or not.
For them, playing games was just playing. Joining a playful guild like the Nightless Club was even more free and unfettered!
"But the people at the headquarters don't think so, especially the new players who make up more than half of the players. I don't know who instilled some hostile ideas into them!"
Mu Wu said lightly.
"A new player?"
"The total number of players in Lu Conglomerate City now exceeds 50,000. Most of them are foreign players who joined in the past half a month, and the number is increasing by the thousands every day. In addition, there are currently more than 5,000 NPCs in the city! "Mu Wu said.
"Half a month? It's because of the war plot, right? "Feng Luo said with certainty.
"Yes, because the war plot has started, and our city is built near the border between the rebel army and the Federation. It occupies a very good geographical location, so many players have set their respawn point here. Of course, most of them have joined the Lu Conglomerate!"
"This shows that your judgment is correct. At least, the original decision to build a city here for the war plot seems to be very successful! "
Feng Luo still remembered the light in Mu Wu's eyes when he talked about the location of the city.
"If everything really goes according to plan, then there really is no need to worry. However, Lu Chen and the group of people on the board of directors are too ambitious! "
A trace of obvious disdain flashed under Mu Wu's glasses.
"From the beginning, I suggested that this city be built in the style of a semi-military base and not to let too many NPCs settle in.
That way, although less than a quarter of the city's construction can be completed in the past two months, it will have a strong ability to deal with the war plot!
In addition, there are two semi-military cities, Silvermoon City and Sunset City, blocking on both sides. There is no need to worry about becoming the main attack target of the rebel army.
When the time comes, we can completely rely on the advantage of players being able to respawn to develop step by step! "
Regarding his own judgment, Mu Wu's eyes once again showed the confident look that Feng Luo was familiar with.
"It's just that Lu Chen himself is too ambitious, and the group of people on the board of directors are even more short-sighted!
When less than a third of the money was invested, they could not help but worry that they would lose money. So they kept accepting NPCs and developed a large number of shops, allowing the entire city to be spread out too quickly!
"Now, both Silvermoon City and Setting Sun City have garrisoned quite a number of NPC armies. Moreover, they've already constructed plenty of defensive facilities. On the other hand, our inconspicuous player city has become much more powerful than before!"
I heard that they did not completely agree with your judgment of the development of the game at the beginning, so they made that decision … "
Feng Luo said calmly.
For him, whether Lu Conglomerate City was really in danger or whether the money he invested would be wasted, he did not care.
After all, he was only a temporary deputy manager of the entertainment city, and he stood in the position of the Nightless City Club.
However, he completely agreed with Mu Wu's judgment of the war situation.
Not long ago, he had already used the communicator to ask two NPC employees of the "Wind Mark Ammunition Shop" to fly the items and equipment in the shop to Storm City.
In a game like War, once the plot was triggered, there was no such thing as a player's property being "sacred and inviolable," and the game company would not compensate for your losses!
So, he had to rely on his own "sense of smell!"
"Well, let's talk about Mu Zi and the others. How did they deal with the matter next?"
Feng Luo changed the topic back to yesterday's matter.
"That team also went in to explore, but they did not go far at all before they were kicked out. Mu Zi later told me about this matter, and I brought it up at the board of directors meeting this morning!"
"But the board of directors did not intend to punish them, and when they were called in for a confrontation, they even sneered and said that they were the first to discover the ruins. And because there was no way to film in the ruins at that time, Mu Zi and the others also had no evidence to prove it! "
"What about Lu Chen's attitude?"
Feng Luo asked.
"Because before the ruins are fully explored, they must accept the mission to be able to enter, and the daily mission limit is only two teams!"
"So, Lu Chen decided to let us and them each send a team in today, and then this matter will be over!"
"Lu Chen's handling of this matter is not too biased. However, it is not necessarily that he does not know the truth of the matter, so doing this is a bit interesting! "
Feng Luo said.
"Let him be! Anyway, Old Feng, this time, I can only rely on you! "
Mu Wu's eyes did not have much of a fluctuation.
"Yes."
Feng Luo did not really want to know why Mu Wu, as the manager of an entertainment city under the Lu Conglomerate, always had to be at odds with the sole heir of the group.
He only knew that he was indeed interested in exploring the ruins.
At the same time, he did not mind if he met the team from the Lu Conglomerate headquarters!
