Fans of e-sports clubs who saw the Yanzhou leaderboards online were unhappy. Where did AliveAfter500Years come from? How could he trample on the Big Five?
No one would believe that the words on the team ID had nothing to do with Silver Wing. The two large words "Silver Wing" were hard to ignore.
Many people scolded Silver Wing for playing tricks, but there were others who did not feel that Silver Wing had done anything wrong. So what if they played tricks? It was a commercial company, and talking about interest was pretentious. All tricks were aimed at maximizing profits. Everyone played tricks, and it all depended on who was better.
Song Shihua, the big boss of Tongshan True Entertainment, an old rival of Silver Wing and also one of Yanzhou's three big entertainment companies, smashed the Old Era ceramic cup he had painstakingly bought with great difficulty.
"I knew they weren't that simple!"
Song Shihua paced back and forth in his office, cursing as he walked.
Silver Wing had previously stirred up news about a few gaming stars they had signed, but the hype had not been strong and had been pushed aside by news about professional e-sports clubs. Song Shihua had not taken it seriously. He had thought that Silver Wing was only capable of sticking their noses in and not making a serious move. But now, Song Shihua felt that he had been duped!
That SilverWing50PolarLight team from AliveAfter500Years was the real move, wasn't it?!
They had used other news as a cover before the match, not revealing any truly important information, and then after the match, they had stirred up big news!
Did this move look familiar?
Too familiar!
This was practically a f * cking copy of Polar Light's debut move!
Speaking of which, Song Shihua had invested heavily in the gaming department this time, secretly signing three studios and poaching people from a few not-so-famous e-sports clubs. He had not disclosed this to the public, and it had all been done in secret. He had planned to stir up news after the leaderboards were released, create a few new stars, and make some money from the gaming industry.
These people did not disappoint. The highest individual ranking was 27th, and the team ranking was even higher at 21st, just a little bit more than the top 20. The difference between the top and bottom three was only a single digit. This ranking was considered pretty good. At least in the past, it would have been better than Silver Wing and Neon Culture.
But now... what use was that?!
Compared to the 5,000 points of the overall leaderboard leader, it was really not enough. If word got out, he would be a laughing stock!
Song Shihua was so angry that he was trembling. He called the people in charge of the gaming department over and gave them a good scolding.
"We are both in the gaming department, but how did Wayne from Silver Wing's gaming department manage to poach such amazing people? How did he manage to pull off such a high score without anyone knowing? What about you guys?! A bunch of trash! Did I invest so much money for you to eat, drink and have fun? Thank you all!! "
There were many people who thought the same as Song Shihua. The amount of information contained in that ostentatious SilverWing50PolarLight was too much.
"Eh? Aurora? Could this be related to Silver Wing's Polar Light project team? "
"Maybe it's just to increase the popularity of Silver Wing's virtual idol, Polar Light, so they used a professional team and some unknown methods to create the ID AliveAfter500Years. Silver Wing is making another star! They want to create a super ID! "
"Come to think of it, they didn't even waste the team name to advertise Polar Light. Without a doubt, as a commercial company, Silver Wing's move is really beautiful. I thought those few small fries that Silver Wing pushed out a few days ago were the main force. How could I have been so naive to believe it?"
"SilverWing50PolarLight, this team name is very obvious. It refers to Polar Light, who was born on the 50th floor of Silver Wing's virtual projects department!"
"Indeed, there were rumors last month that virtual idol endorsement restrictions would be lifted in the future. Many people thought that Silver Wing's Polar Light had suffered a huge loss this time. Once Fiery Bird lifted the restrictions on virtual idols, Polar Light's endorsement deal would be gone. Who would have thought that Silver Wing would make a move now! That team name is clearly telling everyone that they will not give up on the endorsement deal. Amazing! I just don't know where they found that godly person who can get 5,000 points in an hour. "
"To be able to create the conditions for Polar Light to secure the endorsement deal and operate a super ID to achieve the goal of creating a star, I'm impressed!"
The onlookers, who felt that they had dug out the truth, fought to express their opinions.
The Polar Light project team members, who had been bombarded with insults and analyzed in depth: "..."
"What happened?" Zu Wen had a blank look on his face.
"Am I still asleep?" Rodney was in a trance.
Fu Yingtian stared at the screen. "What they say makes so much sense, but why can't I understand it?"
"Are they talking about us? Doesn't our company have a virtual projects department? "Zhang Yu flipped through the company's various departments.
As he spoke, Zu Wen and the others' communicators started ringing like crazy.
There were calls from family and friends, and there were calls from other Silver Wing employees, but none of them dared to pick up.
In the virtual projects department's internal chat group, Zhu Zhen, who was the second-in-command and had not participated in the game, relayed Duan Qianji's orders: from now on, all employees in the virtual projects department were to go into lockdown mode and were not to divulge any information related to the game! As for when the lockdown would be lifted, they would wait for further notice.
Silver Wing's gaming department.
Wayne looked at the coordinates of "SilverWing50PolarLight," and his expression fluctuated. Then he stood up abruptly. Because the movement was too large, his chair and the floor made a sharp creaking sound, making his teeth ache.
Wayne decided to personally go to the 50th floor and ask. He got up and left in quick steps. When he reached the door, he turned his head and scanned the people in the gaming department. In a stern voice, he said, "All of you keep your mouths shut! If you find out who leaked the information, you will be severely punished! "
When Wayne reached the 50th floor, the door to Silver Wing's 50th floor was tightly shut. Many people were loitering outside, probably wanting to know what was going on. Although it was the weekend, it was common for entertainment companies to work overtime on weekends, so there were still many people staying at the office. But these people were quickly chased away by the various department heads.
Wayne had just stepped out of the elevator when he received a call from Duan Qianji.
"Director Duan, yes, yes, I just arrived at the entrance of the virtual projects department... OK, I understand, OK..."
When Wayne walked into the virtual projects department, he saw Zhu Zhen, the deputy manager Duan Qianji had sent directly, waiting there. Zu Wen and the others were all sitting in the hall.
Wayne was more familiar with Zu Wen, an old employee. He also knew that Zhu Zhen probably did not know about this matter, so he asked Zu Wen directly.
"That SilverWing50PolarLight team is yours?"
"Yes, I was the one who came up with the team name," Zu Wen said softly. "At that time, when we wanted to name the team, boss did not say anything, so I did it for him. Thinking that since it was a joint operation of our virtual projects department, we directly used the same name as the coordinates: Silver Wing (company) 50th (floor) Polar Light (all core employees of the project team)."
Wayne looked at Zu We, his face alternating between green, white, and red. His mouth opened and closed a few times, but he couldn't say anything. After taking a deep breath, he said, "You guys … You guys are stirring up trouble again! Who is AliveAfter500Years? "Wayne asked anxiously.
"That is our boss."
"Fang Zhao?!" Wayne's expression was very obvious. What he meant was: "Are you trying to scare me?!"
Zu Wen also had a look of speechlessness. "It's true! It's even more true than that 5,000 points! "
Wayne looked at the others. Rodney and the others also nodded their heads in unison.
"Just someone like Fang Zhao..."
Just someone like Fang Zhao?
Wayne could not say anything else. He really could not tell that Fang Zhao had this ability. Wasn't he a composer? Oh, it seemed like he was also a virtual projects producer. But if he could play games to this extent, how could he be a virtual projects producer?!
Zuo Yu, who was sitting at the side, glanced at the shocked Wayne and lowered his eyes in silence.
"Where is your boss?" Wayne asked.
"Boss is at home. He did not come to the office. Today is the weekend."
"I called him, but he did not pick up."
"Maybe Boss is still online."
"Then why did you guys go offline?" Wayne asked the question in his heart.
The corners of Zu Wen's mouth twitched. "Boss Wayne, you might not believe it, but I was bitten off by a fish worth 0.1 experience points in less than two minutes after I went online."
"Then why didn't you go online?"
"Boss won't let me. I faced the wall and reflected."
"What about the others?" Wayne did not give up.
"The others also faced the wall and reflected."
Wayne: "..."
"That is to say, you all do not know how Fang Zhao got those 5,000 points?" Wayne was so agitated that his voice reached a high pitch.
Pang Pusong thought to himself, With this voice, it would be a pity not to sing.
Facing Wayne's question, Zu Wen and the others' replies were uniform nods.
2S E-Sports Club, gaming room.
Xie He came out of the gaming cabin drenched in sweat. He had expended too much energy in the game. As the captain, he had also shouldered a lot of pressure, especially in the last 10 minutes. The high intensity of the battle and the high level of concentration had undoubtedly taken a huge toll on his stamina. When he came out, his clothes were completely drenched in sweat.
After exiting the cabin, Xie He did not bother to wipe his sweat. He waved away the cup his assistant had handed him and asked, "How's the ranking?"
The previously noisy gaming room quietened down in an instant. The assistant and the team doctor who had rushed over did not know what to say. Everyone had a complicated expression on their faces.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Xie He's heart skipped a beat. He picked up the bracelet beside him and opened the saved page.
Before going offline, Xie He felt that his performance in the past hour was not bad. He had performed a little better than usual. Perhaps he could take first place this time. Even if he was not first, second, third, or even fifth place was not that hard to accept. But everyone's reaction made Xie He feel apprehensive. Could it be that he did not even make it into the top five? And when he saw the ranking and points on the leaderboard, Xie He's hand trembled, and his personal terminal wristband, which was worth millions, dropped to the ground.
"How is this possible... How is this possible!"
Xie He's chief assistant shook his head helplessly. "It is said that it is a cooperative operation between Silver Wing's gaming department and virtual projects department. As for who that ID is, we still do not know. Silver Wing has disclosed very little information. Boss guesses that Silver Wing wants to create a star this time. "
Xie He still found it hard to accept. "That is impossible!"
He did not think much of second place, but the difference in points was too great! If the other party only had a little over 3,000 points, Xie He would have accepted it. 5,000 points?
