After officially joining Underworld Frontline, Xu Huai Shang immediately updated her social media account.
The next day, with the 'guidance' of Feng Bujue, the 'great writer', she wrote a long article. She reflected on her journey as a professional gamer over the years, reviewed her achievements during her time as Red Sakura, and talked about her plans for the next half a year. The main point … was that the team she was in now had a good atmosphere. She hoped that her fans would continue to support her and believe that she would be able to achieve good results even in a non-commercial environment.
After this article was published, Goddess Xu gained quite a number of fans. On the other hand … the other five members of Underworld Frontline, other than Brother Jue, started to receive various emails from strangers.
However, the emails were not hostile. Most of them wanted to know about their guild. For example, "How many members are there in your guild?", "Is Feng Bujue the only one in the guild?", "Is Xu Huai Shang having fun here?", "Is Underworld Frontline still recruiting?", and many of them were purely sending messages to express their support for their idols.
In conclusion, through that article, Brother Jue had successfully created a wave of public opinion. According to Miss An, "As a writer, you have finally used your professional ability to do something good."
…
On the 27th of January, before the news of Xu Huai Shang leaving the studio had died down, the Dream Company, as if unwilling to be left out, started to do something.
That morning, two major announcements appeared on the official website of the Dream Company.
The first one was shocking. "The new year is coming. To ensure that all the players and the employees of the company have a happy new year, the Dream Company will have a one-week holiday from midnight on New Year's Eve to 11: 59 pm on the 6th of the new year. During the holiday, all the businesses under the company, including but not limited to Thriller Paradise, Crazy Thoughts, and the online marketplace, will be suspended."
This … was the umpteenth time that the Dream Company had done something like this. While other gaming companies and e-commerce companies were doing crazy promotions during the holidays, they actually wanted to take a break for an entire week … It was obvious that they didn't care about national holidays at all.
It could be said that when they read this message, many jokers had already started to add sentences like "I'm going to die if I don't get to play Thriller Paradise soon", "How are the players going to celebrate the New Year after you shut down the server", and "God only needs six days to create the world, and you're going to give him seven days off?" Naturally, these kinds of sentences came out of their mouths.
However, they also knew … that it was useless to say such things.
Thriller Paradise had been open for almost a year already. How could the players not know about the Dream Company?
Have you ever been to a gas station? Have you ever worked for a government agency? You've been through a lot, so this is nothing. At least when you're dealing with the Dream Company, you can get value for money most of the time. It's better than spending money and being a coward.
No matter what, since the announcement had been made, the seven-day suspension was a done deal. The players only needed to complain, but if they wanted to cause trouble … they would not be able to change the result. In fact, they might even bring trouble to themselves. Zombie Blade, which had already closed down, was the best example.
Then, there was the second announcement — The preliminary rules for Thriller Paradise's Tournament for the Best S3 will be announced after the New Year. This tournament will be a mixed solo and team competition. For more details, please pay attention to the official website.
Even though this was an announcement that did not have much 'actual information' and was more like a 'trailer' for a movie, the reaction was much bigger than the previous one.
Just the words "mixed individual and team competition system" were enough to make countless gaming studios unable to celebrate the New Year in peace.
…
28th January, 2 am, inside Wang Tanzhi's conference room.
Since Brother Bujue and Xiao Tan both came online late, they could only watch the movie while waiting for their teammates to come out from the scenario.
"You seem to be very busy recently. Other than the day of the hotpot, I haven't seen you in real life for days." Feng Bujue was still lying on the sofa in his favorite slumped position as he chatted with Xiao Tan beside him.
"Ah … I don't want to talk about it …" Xiao Tan looked exhausted. He dragged his voice and said, "This year's New Year's Eve falls on 14th February (2056). It's Valentine's Day and New Year's Eve. Coincidentally, Xiao Ling and I are planning to get married this year, so we're just in time. After some discussion, the elders from both sides decided to have our wedding and New Year's Eve dinner together." He paused. "I don't think I'll go into the significance of marriage and New Year's Eve for Chinese people. Putting these two things together is killing me. I quit my job about a month ago, and I've been accompanying Xiao Ling to take care of various things. But I still feel overwhelmed."
"Hmm …" Upon hearing this, Feng Bujue nodded. "Think on the bright side. After the wedding, the two of you who have so much money that you can't spend it all will be able to eat, drink, and play all day long."
"Ah … About that …" Upon hearing this, Xiao Tan looked sorrowful again. "Recently, my psionic power has improved quite quickly. That father-in-law of mine … which is Section Chief Gu, seems to be preparing for me to go to Jiu Ke to cultivate immortality."
"Ha!" Feng Bujue laughed dryly. "Then you've wasted your five years in medical university."
"That's what I said to him back then." Xiao Tan narrowed his eyes. "He replied to me … 'It's useless to study medicine. Your grandfather used to be a rock star in the field of surgery, but later on, in order to protect world peace, didn't I still go around stabbing people with a knife to save lives?'"
"Heh heh … Let's not talk about how Old Gu called you a grandson … I believe that he stabbed people, but whether his motive was for world peace or not, I think it's debatable." Feng Bujue said with a subtle expression.
"Oh … Right." Xiao Tan didn't continue the topic with Brother Jue. Instead, he said, "The wedding venue is in Italy. You already know that, right?"
"Huh?" Feng Bujue immediately sat up. "Of course I don't know!" He paused for half a second. "Why did you say it in such a normal tone? The address printed on the wedding invitation is clearly in the suburbs of S City, right? "
"It's in the suburbs … But you're not going there to attend the wedding. You're going there to take a plane …" Xiao Tan continued. "Flying straight to Italy."
"Hey, hey … Is there an airport near that address?" Feng Bujue asked. "Does the plane belong to your family?"
Brother Jue was just being sarcastic, but he didn't expect …
"Hmm, the plane belongs to … our family," Xiao Tan replied.
"F * ck! Needless to say, the airport belongs to Xiao Ling's family? "Feng Bujue said in a desperate tone.
"No." Xiao Tan replied, "But it should be their family managing it … Hmm … I can't say too much. Anyway, there are runways and facilities for private and military aircraft taking off and landing there."
"You're a bunch of scum who abuse your position for personal gain …" Feng Bujue said with a righteous look. "You're really capable of doing it … Also, you two are from China. It's one thing for you to have a wedding abroad, but what's with the two of you going to Europe for New Year's Eve dinner?"
"New Year's Eve …" Xiao Tan said in a sincere and pained tone. "In China … We can't get a table." He paused for two seconds and added, "And … This isn't something that can be solved with money …"
"Hmm …" Feng Bujue couldn't refute. "Okay …" He thought about it again. "Then … After we fly to Italy (yes, I didn't type wrong), which city's airport will we land in? I have to say in advance that no matter which country we go to, I can't get a passport and a visa … (There's a story behind this, but it's too long, so I won't go into it for now). After we land, if I'm immediately sent back to China, you have to be mentally prepared. "
"Don't worry, Chief Gu already knows about your situation. He has already prepared a set of 'flawless documents' for you just in case. Also, we won't land at a civilian airport …" Xiao Tan said.
"So … the two of you have power in Axis Hades as well?" Brother Jue narrowed his eyes.
"Don't ask me about this …" Xiao Tan said. "Strictly speaking, I'm now a staff member of Nine Sections, and I'm still in the 'probation period'. Logically speaking, I shouldn't be telling you so much."
"Sigh …" Feng Bujue sighed. "Another good young man who lost his position because of women and work."
Before he finished, the door of the conference room opened, and Ruo Yu and An Yueqin walked in.
Less than two seconds after the two entered the room, Feng Bujue jumped up from the sofa. "Thank you for your hard work! Please sit down! I've already warmed the sofa for you! "
"You washed my clothes with yours again, didn't you?"
"You're going to delay the draft again this month, aren't you?"
The two sat down calmly and spoke in an emotionless tone.
"I'll be careful next time! I'll submit the draft in a few days! "Feng Bujue put his hands together and lowered his head.
"Sigh … Okay."
"I'll wait for you for a few days."
Soon, he got the response that he was looking for.
Feng Bujue, who sighed in relief, changed his seat and sat on the other side of Xiao Tan.
Wang Tanzhi glanced at Feng Bujue with a gaze that said, "Can you be any more shameless?". He held it in for a long time before saying, "Brother Jue …"
"Shut up." Feng Bujue had no intention of listening to his comment.
…
A few minutes later, Xu Huai Shang and Xiao Ling finished preparing the scripts and came to the conference room.
The six members of Underworld Frontline were all present.
After Xu Huai Shang joined them, they had queued up in many scenarios as a team of six. But tonight, according to the plan, they were going to challenge … Nightmare Mode with six players.
