On the 36th floor of the Golden Bridge Hotel, the Jin Hai Fellowship Party had officially begun.
Most of the people present were well-known figures from various industries in Jin Hai City. Only a small portion of them were students about to graduate from Jin Hai University.
This year's Jin Hai Fellowship Party was the grandest one, and the number of people invited was also the highest. At the same time, it also gave these graduating students more opportunities. This was especially true for God's Domain, a virtual reality game. People from various industries were optimistic about the future of God's Domain. Aside from adventures and battles, God's Domain also offered many life and entertainment experiences. It was much richer than the real world, and many real-life industries could enter and develop themselves in God's Domain.
A spirited old man nearing 60 years of age wearing a white tunic suit sat in a corner of the venue. Meanwhile, seated beside this old man were some of Jin Hai City's influential figures. Zhao Ruoxi's second uncle, Zhao Jianhua, was one of them.
"They haven't arrived yet?" the old man in the white tunic suit suddenly asked He Youcai, the president of the Student Council.
"They're already here, but …" He Youcai hesitated, wanting to say something.
The old man before him was Jin Hai University's president and chairman, Xu Wenqing. He had taught many outstanding students, and he was a well-known figure in various industries. He was highly respected in Jin Hai City, and a stomp of his foot could shake Jin Hai City.
"Speak." Xu Wenqing's voice suddenly turned cold.
"They're right outside." For the inexperienced He Youcai, he had never felt such pressure before, and he nearly lost his footing.
"Since they're outside, why aren't they coming in?" Xu Wenqing questioned. "Do you want this old man to invite them?"
"They sure have a lot of face. They actually want Elder Xu to invite them. Do they really think they can look down on us just because they're good at gaming?" Zhao Jianhua said, slightly angered.
"Go take a look and tell them to come up. Just say that I said so. " After pondering for a moment, Xu Wenqing felt that something was amiss. Moreover, aside from those professional players who opened Gaming Workshops, there were also many other people present. There were also many famous people from fighting competitions who had not arrived.
"Yes." Several tall bodyguards wearing black suits and sunglasses took the elevator downstairs.
"I'm curious. What's wrong with these people? Why are they not coming up? What's going on downstairs? " Zhao Jianhua was furious at the people who hadn't arrived yet. He looked down on these professional gamers from the bottom of his heart. In his opinion, no matter how good a gamer was, he was still a gamer. If it weren't for the sponsorship and support of these corporations, he wouldn't be able to do anything.
"I'm also curious. What kind of mentality do the young people have now? Or are we, the old folks, unable to keep up with the times?" A middle-aged man in a black martial arts suit laughed. There was not the slightest bit of sharpness in him. Instead, he was as calm and gentle as the ocean, making people feel close to him.
However, not a single person dared to look down on this middle-aged man. This was because this man was Jin Hai City's famous martial arts master, Chen Wu. A few years ago, he was the perennial champion of Jin Hai City's fighting competition. He was the undisputed number one person in Jin Hai City. However, due to his age, he no longer participated in any fighting competitions. Instead, he opened a dojo in Jin Hai City, which was extremely popular with the public.
"Hall Master Chen, you must be joking. It's just that young people don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. It's just a virtual game. If you enter God's Domain, you'll most likely become a peerless expert very quickly, and your name will shake the entire region, "Zhao Jianhua said.
"After all, the real world is different from the virtual world. Moreover, the times have changed. The future belongs to the young people." Chen Wu shook his head. He was a martial artist, so he was very sensitive to everything. He could already clearly feel that the pace of the era was accelerating, especially with the appearance of God's Domain. Ignoring the fact that the various major corporations all over the world were investing in God's Domain, just the number of players in God's Domain had already far exceeded his imagination. Anyone could see just how great the future potential of God's Domain was. Not to mention, there were still some secrets hidden in God's Domain.
However, Chen Wu did not know what these secrets were. God's Domain was actually a virtual reality game that could cause so many international corporations to scramble for it. It was definitely not as simple as one would imagine.
Although the various major corporations in Jin Hai City had invested in God's Domain, these corporations were no more than stray cats that had caught the scent of fish. They had no idea what secrets God's Domain held.
After the two of them chatted for a while, Xu Wenqing received a call from his bodyguard.
"Elder Xu, these people say that they have something important to discuss and will need to wait for a while before they can go up."
"Something important? What could be more important than this Fellowship Party? Don't they want the sponsorship and support of other corporations?" Xu Wenqing's voice deepened significantly. Those who knew Elder Xu's temper would know that this was a sign of his anger.
"It seems that they wish to discuss with the upper echelons of the Ling YI Society. However, there are too many people in line right now, so they need to waste some time."
"Ling YI Society? Is that a Guild in God's Domain?" Xu Wenqing was confused.
It was just a gaming Guild. Was there a need for so many famous Workshops in Jin Hai City to curry favor with it?
Could it be that the Ling YI Society was extremely powerful in God's Domain?
Although Xu Wenqing did not play virtual reality games, he knew of the famous Guilds in the virtual gaming world. However, among these famous Guilds, he had never heard of a Guild called Ling Yi.
"According to them, Ling Yi is extremely famous throughout the entire Starmoon Kingdom. In some aspects, Ling Yi even surpasses first-rate Guilds. Many major corporations wish to meet with the upper echelons of Ling Yi. However, Ling Yi is too mysterious. They have never had the chance to meet with Ling Yi. They do not wish to miss this opportunity."
"If that's the case, then this Ling YI Society cannot be ignored." Xu Wenqing's interest in the Ling YI Society was piqued. It was especially true for a city like Jin Hai City. The fact that such a Guild could appear in a city like Jin Hai City made him even more eager to meet them. "How could this old man not know that such a powerful Guild has appeared in our Jin Hai City? Since that is the case, let's invite the representative of the Ling YI Society up for a seat. This old man also wishes to meet this person."
Moreover, it would not be appropriate for so many people to stay downstairs for this Fellowship Party. Hence, he might as well invite the representative of the Ling YI Society up. This way, the guests from the other Workshops could also participate in this Fellowship Party.
When everyone heard that Xu Wenqing had actually invited an unknown Guild representative, they were slightly shocked.
Meanwhile, downstairs, the bodyguards had already arrived before the Shifeng. After informing the Shifeng of this matter, they sincerely invited the Shifeng upstairs.
However, to the bodyguards' surprise, the Shifeng directly rejected the invitation.
"Mister Shifeng, Elder Xu is sincerely inviting you up. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed," the leader of the bodyguards earnestly advised.
"I understand. However, we have not finished recruiting yet. Even if I agree, you can ask the people in the queue if they agree," Shifeng said, smiling. He then pointed at the long line of people in front of him. "Moreover, even if I am willing to go up, someone will chase me out. I am a timid person. That person has already threatened me, saying that he will not allow me to take even half a step into that hotel. I still have an interview to attend, so please do not make things difficult for me."
Xu Wenqing's bodyguards were immediately speechless. Wasn't this just patronizing them? However, they had no choice but to report this matter to Xu Wenqing.
"What? Someone threatened him not to enter? " Xu Wenqing could not help but laugh when he heard this. "Just tell him that it's fine. As long as this old man is here, I guarantee that nothing will happen to him at the Fellowship Party. No one will dare to chase him out."
"But he still said that he does not dare. He does not wish to be chased out a second time," the bodyguard helplessly said.
"Chased out a second time? Then, is he originally a guest of this Fellowship Party? "
"Mhm."
Xu Wenqing could not help but be stunned. However, he quickly reacted to the situation. Suddenly, a wave of anger surged within his heart. Someone actually dared to chase out the guest he had invited. Wasn't this the same as slapping his old face?
"Who is it? Who dares to chase out the person I have invited? " At this moment, Xu Wenqing's voice was extremely loud and cold. Although he was not a martial artist, his frightening aura caused many of the people present to feel fear.
