There was a studio that was around two hundred square feet in size. The windows were bright and the tables were clean. A few men with different presences were either sitting or leaning against couches. Their gazes were either indifferent or intense as they stared at the virtual screen in front of them. It was showing the short fight between Silver Wolf and One Emperor.
"Another battle replay is selling like crazy."
Beep!
The man in white casual clothes turned off the self-formed screen in the air and tossed aside the controller. He said to Tank Top Man, who was showing off his toned chest muscles while watching a small handheld computer, "What's the current sales figure?"
"It's more than thirteen million, and it's still climbing!"
Tank Top Man could not help but curse once he reported the figures.
"Damn it! Even robbing a bank wouldn't be this fast! It hasn't even been uploaded for two hours, and more than ten million people have bought it. More than six hundred million has been earned … Even if we only get a ten percent share, we earned more than sixty million in two hours. Is this still a game? "
"It's normal that you don't understand a VR game."
Across the couch was a man with a strong body. He quickly played with his butterfly knife and executed all sorts of difficult moves while he answered, "The times are different now. Most players only have three hundred RMB per month, and it's nothing to them. Once it's popularized, everyone will have a VR Helmet, and their monthly income will be hundreds of billions. With the helmet and some paid services, it's not an exaggeration to say that World of Martial Arts is the most profitable industry right now." As he spoke, the butterfly knife in his hand did not show any signs of slowing down. Instead, it sped up in excitement.
"When I was studying, many game companies used in-game fees to quickly earn money. The normal operation time of a good game is very short. To be able to popularize a game to this extent requires a good system and courage."
"You've studied before?"
"… Don't throw these things around. If you damage the couch, the boss will kill you." Tank Top Man caught the butterfly knife that came flying at him without even raising his head. Then, he threw it back.
"Stop fooling around! Observe the data. We didn't come back to the country this time so that you can practice knife-throwing. "White Casual Clothes frowned and reprimanded him." Estimate the income from this battle replay.
Then, look for a professional game expert to understand the reason for its success. "
White Casual Clothes Man seemed to be a professional higher-up in a company.
Tank Top Man seemed to be a little wary of White Casual Clothes Man. He shrugged and tapped a few times on the keyboard. The screen changed, and a virtual curve instantly appeared.
"In the first hour and a half, the number of purchases was less than 20,000 …"
"By the end of the hour, the number of purchases had exceeded one million …"
"One and a half hours, 4.7 million purchases."
Tank Top Man read the data from each node, and the people in the room, including the two white-haired men who had not spoken since the start, quirked their eyebrows in shock.
"In half an hour, the number of purchases increased by nearly 10 million?"
"Is this for real? At this rate, it won't be a problem for it to break a hundred million."
"Are these people sick in the head? A two-minute short film costs 50 RMB, and there are so many people buying it. Do they think it's an American blockbuster? "
"I have to say, based on the scenes in the movie, it's not an exaggeration to say that it's an American blockbuster." The man in white casually dressed had his hands in his pockets, and the smile on his lips grew wider. "And based on some insider information, many movie companies have already contacted the official developers of World of Martial Arts and stated that they will be choosing the locations for some of the martial arts movies in the future as well as the costumes for the people involved."
"Even Hollywood in the United States has expressed an intention to cooperate. They are preparing to take advantage of the current trend to raise funds to film a few oriental martial arts blockbusters."
"…"
"…"
"Boss, why did you ask us to return this time? Could it be related to World of Martial Arts? "
"Duh."
There was a faint smile on the man in white casually dressed's face. "Previously, we didn't understand this market at all, and we didn't know that it would grow to this stage. Now that we know, we can't just sit by and watch." He stopped talking for a moment before he pointed at a few VR Helmet packaging boxes in the corner.
"This is a lucrative industry, and it's not dangerous either. It'll be a waste if we don't do it."
"But the people inside have already widened the distance between us and them. If we go in now, won't it be a little too late?"
"I've gone in to understand the situation. New players need half a year to reach Life and Death Realm in the beginning, but now, those who have the ability can reach it very quickly. At most, they'll need three months. If it's us, we can be even faster."
"Why?"
"Go in, and I'll tell you in detail." The man in white casually dressed ignored Tank Top Man's question and continued explaining to the others. "The boss is already inside. It'll be best if you complete your quests within three months. Then, you can do whatever you want to earn money in the future. World of Martial Arts is a place where there are no legal restrictions. It won't be able to restrict your quests. As long as we gather together when we have quests, it'll be fine!"
He paused for a moment before he said something that gradually caused their eyes to shine with a brilliant light.
"Three months. The boss said that he'll pay you based on your usual quests. If you complete your quests within three months, he won't give you a single cent less. Also, once you truly complete your quests, three months later, you'll know what it means! The true meaning of gold everywhere in World of Martial Arts … "
As he spoke, he lifted his chin slightly.
Everyone's gazes instantly landed on the newest data in Tank Top Man's hands!
The sales had already surpassed twenty million!
One after another …
Each of them grabbed a helmet, waved their hands, and left in a relaxed manner.
When the last person left, the man in white casually smiled in satisfaction. He stared at the handheld computer Tank Top Man left behind, and an indescribable fervor and confidence shone in his eyes!
…
Tank Top Man originally felt a little uneasy when he walked on the street with a helmet box in his hand, but when he noticed that there were quite a number of people on the street who were holding helmets like him, he soon became indifferent.
When he took a taxi to the airport to buy a ticket, he suddenly noticed that there were three men with extraordinary presences in the hall of the airport. They were dressed in simple attire, and they held a military-green traveling bag in their hands. They were incredibly eye-catching in the crowd.
The three of them stood tall and had well-proportioned builds. The presence of soldiers on their bodies was incredibly great, and their gazes were as sharp as knives. They might have seemed to be standing together in a lackadaisical manner, but they had ingeniously observed everything in the airport, including the people behind their companions. They showed extraordinary teamwork and vigilance.
Tank Top Man froze. He instinctively reacted, but soon, the fierce glare in his eyes faded away.
Knife's expression changed. He reacted immediately, and as his heart throbbed, he redirected his gaze, and he saw a back flash into the airport restaurant.
"What's wrong?"
Thunder and Bar turned their faces around as well. They followed Knife's gaze and swept through the entrance of the airport restaurant.
"There's a strange person. He seems to be pretty good, and he's holding a VR Helmet." Knife might have only seen him for a moment, but his memory allowed him to capture Tank Top Man's back with astonishing speed. "But he should be from that place."
"Could it be that we're the same?" Thunder smiled and pointed at the traveling bags in their hands.
The trio looked at each other and smiled.
