Because the people involved didn't hesitate to refuse, the negotiation didn't take long. The few of them quickly finished watching the video.
"I found a problem. You've chosen the wrong direction to convince them," the supervisor said as he rapped his knuckles on the table. "These two people clearly don't care about popularity. Water Fairy's popularity is high enough that no female player can compare to her. As for Lu Li, look at the number of commercial endorsements he's had since he became famous."
Popularity? Neither of them cared about it!
After watching the customer service leave, Lu Li was still sitting in the newly opened bar. One of the walls of the bar had been turned into a large screen, which was currently playing an apocalyptic movie.
Under the table in the bar, there was a very special pair of glasses. When you put them on, you could enter the movie and participate in the scenes. However, you couldn't change the plot or the outcome of the movie.
This was a new function of the player bar. To be precise, it was a function that only Ruling Sword's Stronghold bars had. For this, Lu Li had paid a lot of gold coins.
In fact, in order to develop the Stronghold, Ruling Sword had invested a huge amount of gold coins. Almost all of the money that they had earned had been invested into it. This kind of courage and heroism even shocked Water Fairy.
Lu Li didn't wear those glasses. He thought that the look was a bit stupid.
When Water Fairy arrived, the movie was playing a very cool scene. It was a group of people being bitten by spiders, and then they let out beast-like howls. They began to transform. Their straight backs began to bend, their legs became slender, and the soles of their feet disappeared completely. Their arms also became slender, but their hands became claws, and the nails on them were sharp enough to cut through flesh.
Their clothes had long since been torn apart. Then, the ribs on both sides of their chests began to split open. Blood and viscous fluid flowed all over the floor.
This kind of scene didn't stop the people in the bar from enjoying the wine and food. The people continued to transform. Their ribs twisted and stretched out, also becoming claws. It was very similar to the claws that their legs and hands had become.
At the same time, hair began to grow on the faces and bodies of every deformed person. Their facial features also changed, becoming elongated and distorted. Most importantly, their eyes began to split. They split again and again, gradually forming the structure of compound eyes. This scene did not sound like much, but it was especially disgusting when it was displayed on the big screen.
Only now did Lu Li recall that the style of this tavern seemed to be going for the hardcore route.
Unfortunately, it was too late to inform Water Fairy to change the location. Water Fairy witnessed the entire transformation process on the big screen.
"The style of this pub is a little strange. I chose it randomly. I didn't expect it to have such a strong taste," Lu Li explained. If it were someone else, such as the customer service 316 or something, he probably wouldn't have bothered to explain it.
"It's okay. I've seen this movie before. The script is very good," Water Fairy said calmly.
Well, she really couldn't be compared to the average girl. So, Lu Li asked directly, "Did the official customer service look for you?"
"Yes, not long before you sent the message. It was about the couple system." Water Fairy looked at Lu Li's enlightened expression and knew that she was not the only one who had been approached. She just didn't know how Lu Li would respond to the customer service's suggestion.
If she agreed, it would seem very disrespectful to Lu Li. If she rejected it outright, Water Fairy would feel too uncomfortable.
Even someone as carefree as Water Fairy still had a normal thinking. If Lu Li rejected it immediately when he heard that he wanted to have a relationship with her, wouldn't it mean that he despised her? But if he didn't reject it — Water Fairy had already rejected it herself.
However, her rejection wasn't because she despised Lu Li. It was purely because she didn't care about the so-called popularity.
"I rejected it too. It's boring." Lu Li looked at Water Fairy's expression and couldn't see any clues from it. He could only continue to explain, "I'm not a person who likes to join in on the fun. The only useful thing about the couple system is the couple ring that can teleport each other. Our pocket watches have better attributes than that."
"Yes, I think so too." Water Fairy smiled and said, "The officials are so stingy. They want to get something for nothing."
"Are there any other benefits?" Lu Li asked.
He really didn't know about similar situations. After all, he had only played the game Dawnlight. He didn't pay attention to such problems in his previous life. This was the first time he had encountered such a problem.
"It depends on the officials' courage," Water Fairy said.
"What if they promise me benefits?" Lu Li felt that his moral integrity was starting to waver. If it wasn't for the fact that Water Fairy was involved, as long as the officials came to him, he would immediately think of a way to show off his talent as a Shameless Lu.
"Benefits? What do you want?" Water Fairy smiled at Lu Li.
She knew this guy wasn't a good person. However, Water Fairy, who had been involved in business since she was young, didn't dislike this kind of thinking. On the contrary, if Lu Li was too aloof, she would feel very uncomfortable.
"We don't need weapons for now. Our weapons are already very good. We've basically used up all the Darkmoon cards. It would be best if we could get a set. We can consider Enhanced Skill Books …" Lu Li counted with his fingers and began a heated discussion with Water Fairy. If possible, they would ruthlessly extort him.
Little did they know that their behavior had already revealed their inner thoughts. At least they didn't reject the couple system.
Just as they expected, after reading the post, they knew that the officials would definitely come to them again.
Customer Service 316, who logged in again, quickly appeared in front of Lu Li and Water Fairy. "Both of you are here. What a coincidence." His tone seemed to be saying, "Don't lie to me anymore. I knew you guys were having an affair."
"Yeah, what a coincidence." Lu Li nodded. Water Fairy also greeted this obviously different customer service.
Customer service accounts were very special. Player accounts had to be personally logged in, and each account was bound to one person. However, with a customer service account, there was no way to know who was lying in the gaming pod.
"My surname is Yu. I am the person in charge of the couple system project. Those two from before are my employees." This time, it was the supervisor who logged in. After watching the conversation between his two subordinates, he personally entered the game. The reason why the supervisor was able to become a supervisor was not only because of his work experience and qualifications, but also because of his superior abilities.
Just from the conversation alone, he obtained a lot of information.
However, his appearance also betrayed a lot of information. Since the supervisor personally appeared, it meant that the officials placed a lot of importance on the couple system.
Moreover, this Mr. Yu was the person in charge of the couple system. This was a personal matter, and there might be a lot of competitors who wanted to see his project fail. Therefore, this gentleman's appearance was more to Lu Li's liking than the higher-ups.
"Hello, Mr. Yu. I think we've made it very clear," Lu Li said bluntly.
Water Fairy secretly gave him an encouraging look. His acting was very good. It perfectly achieved the effect that they had discussed before. They had to let the game company know that they weren't interested. Only then would they be willing to pay a high price.
"Haha, I don't think so." The supervisor shook his head.
"Oh, then why do you think we agreed? Is it for the title of the number one couple, or is it for the couple's teleportation ring?" Lu Li said.
"The couple's ring is a good thing. Not only can it summon another person, but it can also recover a certain amount of fatigue." The supervisor tried to work on this. "You have to know that when you're fatigued, your health and energy recovery speed is slower …"
"Please take a look at this equipment." Lu Li took out his pocket watch and successfully shut the supervisor up.
However, he did admire the game company for saying that they wouldn't interfere with the game. They didn't even have the authority to see what was in Lu Li's backpack. Otherwise, they wouldn't have brought up the couple's teleportation ring. Lu Li and Water Fairy's pocket watches had better stats.
"This …" The supervisor was a little dumbfounded. He suddenly felt like an idiot.
After a pause, he said, "If that's the case, let's not beat around the bush. What do you want?"
From the two videos, the supervisor could tell that although the two in front of him weren't interested in the official couple, they didn't hate it. Otherwise, they wouldn't have that indifferent expression.
Since they didn't reject it, it meant that there was hope of persuading them.
The key was what they needed to do to convince these two and what they needed to pay for it.
Even the cleverest housewife couldn't cook a meal without rice. The game company had given him some authority to facilitate the development of the project, but he couldn't possibly reveal everything. He had to achieve the greatest results at the lowest cost. This was the best project leader in the eyes of the company's executives.
Unfortunately, the couple in front of her (This was the first time Supervisor Yu felt that this nickname was appropriate. She gritted her teeth as she read it out loud) were not easy to fool.
If he continued to try to fool them at this time, it would be easy to appear insincere and anger the other party.
As such, the supervisor decided to let them state their own conditions.
"I have to be able to fly," Water Fairy said first. She had seen Lu Li and Xiaoba Jiang fly, so she was very jealous.
There were very few people who could fly in the game. Why were they all concentrated in Ruling Sword?
"I can't let you fly directly because the game is being monitored by the AI. If we do anything illegal, the information will be sent directly to the Game Industry Surveillance Center," Supervisor Yu said reluctantly after some thought, "But I can give you some information on how to obtain the ability to fly."
Rejecting the first request was obviously not the way to negotiate.
Moreover, Water Fairy's request wasn't too excessive. There were already several people who could fly in the game. Even if Water Fairy learned to fly, even if she was allowed to fly, it wouldn't affect the balance of the game.
"If I can't directly give the skill book, then I need to know how to upgrade my ring to the next level," Lu Li said as he showed his Supreme Ring to the supervisor. At the moment, the Supreme Ring's attributes were still very good, but there wasn't much difference between it and the other top rings.
After all, Legendary equipment had already begun to appear.
The supervisor looked at Lu Li's ring and almost cried out in surprise because he knew about it.
He was good friends with the supervisor of the design department, so he knew how proud and evil he was of designing this ring.
When a person was excited about getting a godly item, they didn't know that it was a hot potato that could affect their entire gaming career. This was the magic of fate.
In other words, the ring was a f * cking trap.
However, he quickly began to wonder how Lu Li could upgrade the ring to the fourth ring. Now, he understood how Lu Li had risen so quickly. The game had only been released for half a year, and he had already upgraded the ring to the fourth ring.
Although this ring was a trap, it was a fair one. With Lu Li's current strength, if he had the opportunity, he would obviously continue to upgrade it.
"What, can't this ring be upgraded?" Lu Li asked.
His question was very clever. He didn't ask if the supervisor had a way to upgrade it, but if it could be upgraded.
