"Oh no! We've been discovered! " The two stalkers noticed that Gu Fei had turned around and glanced at them. They immediately strode towards them. Halfway there, they even pulled out their Dark Night Streamlight Swords.
The two turned around and wanted to leave, but they were no match for Gu Fei's speed. He teleported in front of them and blocked their way. "Who are you?"
The two did not answer. It was as if they did not see Gu Fei. They lowered their heads and wanted to take a detour. Gu Fei had been in the game for a long time. He had been peeped on, ambushed, cursed at, slashed, and dodged. However, he had never been ignored. Gu Fei didn't know if these two brats were pretending to be stupid. He felt that he had to teach them a lesson, so he swung his sword. He did not use any spells. Gu Fei was afraid that it would be too bold and cut them to death.
However, just as the swords were about to reach their bodies, a system notification rang out. The two fellows turned their heads and smiled at Gu Fei. Without stopping, they left in a carefree manner.
"What's going on?" Hundred Eras Jingren was surprised. He did not think that two normal people would get lost under Gu Fei's sword. He was about to chase after them when Gu Fei smiled bitterly, "Don't chase after them. They're not even level 10."
Players who were not level 10 were protected by the PK system. No one could touch players below level 10. What Gu Fei had just received wasn't a notification from the System, but a warning. The System sternly informed him that attacking newbie players below level 10 was a shameful act. If he continued to do so, it wouldn't matter if he didn't kill them or not. His PK points would be calculated.
"They're not even Level 10 …" Hundred Eras Strategist was also someone who had experienced fighting and killing, so he knew the most basic PK rule. The two players were not even Level 10 yet, which meant that they were at the peak of the legendary realm, "If he's strong, let him be strong. If he's strong, let him be strong. If he's strong, let him be strong."
Gu Fei and Hundred Eras Jingren helplessly watched the two leave. At this time, they received a message from Deepwater, "I sent you a teleportation scroll. Send the coordinates back to me."
Gu Fei quickly went to the mailbox at the city gate to retrieve the scroll. He recorded the coordinates and sent it back. Deepwater was obviously waiting by the mailbox. Three seconds later, Gu Fei saw a white light beside him. Deepwater and Lu Ke walked out of the white light. When Lu Ke saw Gu Fei, she was not in a good mood. She snorted twice as a greeting. This girl still remembered the pile of things that Gu Fei had stirred up. Although it was later proven that there was indeed a problem with the Water Breaking Arrow, the problem was caused by Gu Fei. This person looked like a troublemaker.
Deepwater was in high spirits. As soon as he walked out of the white light, he saw Gu Fei and asked, "Where's Wuye?"
"He went to draft a contract." Gu Fei said as he introduced Hundred Eras Jingren. "Hundred Eras Jingren. You know him, right?"
"Yes, yes!" Deepwater said.
"This is Deepwater." Gu Fei introduced him to Hundred Eras Jingren.
"The Five Roaches!" Hundred Eras Jingren expressed his goodwill to Deepwater.
"The past is unbearable!" Deepwater sighed.
"Why not?" Hundred Eras Jingren had just found out that the Five Roaches had changed to a new version.
Gu Fei interrupted from the side, "I did it."
Although everyone had let bygones be bygones, this was clearly not a happy topic. Deepwater looked around and asked, "Where's Sword Demon? And that idiot. "When talking about a certain idiot, Deepwater's gnashing of teeth was definitely not fake.
"They're leveling!" Gu Fei said.
"Why did you guys come to Moonlit Night City?" Deepwater asked.
It wasn't like Gu Fei and the others were doing something shameful, so he told them everything.
"Oh, efficient leveling! Tsk tsk! Then when will you come to Forest Shade City and give us some pointers? How much? "Deepwater asked.
"500,000!" Hundred Eras Jingren was very happy when he heard that there was business again. He knew that the price for the Ten Guild Alliance was 500,000, but he didn't know that this was a favor price, not the market price. Even so, this price also shocked Deepwater. The Ten Guild Alliance had more than 4,000 players, and Deepwater's guild was only level 6, with only 1,050 people. The population base was different, so the per capita burden was naturally different. 500,000 was 500 gold coins per person. For Gu Fei and the others who were already rich, 500 gold coins was nothing, but for normal players, having more than 100 assets was a huge sum, and having more than 1,000 assets was a rich person.
"Since we're so familiar with each other, give us a discount!" Deepwater said.
"Hehe, you can discuss it with Sword Demon and the others later!" Gu Fei had already made it clear that he was going to do them a favor.
Deepwater didn't stand on ceremony and nodded repeatedly, "Sure, sure."
"However, most of the players there are Archers, and Archers have the least efficient leveling method." Gu Fei said.
"What do you mean?" Deepwater frowned.
"The efficient leveling method is all close combat, and Archers are more restricted." Gu Fei told the truth.
"We'll talk about this later, the key is to give them a discount!" Deepwater said.
Gu Fei smiled helplessly.
"Right, did Old Duan still bother you guys?" Deepwater asked.
"Yes, he's been bothering him for the past two days!" Gu Fei said.
"And then?"
"And then? Just kill him! "Gu Fei said.
Deepwater wiped his sweat and changed the topic, "Why is Five Nights so slow? Damn, the efficiency of the studio is getting worse and worse. Is there no standard contract? Is it written on the spot? "
Gu Fei didn't understand this matter, so he naturally couldn't interrupt. However, he noticed that Five Nights said he was going offline to draft a contract, but his name was still lit up. The two sides in the BBQ shop had added each other as friends, so Gu Fei didn't ask much. He just waited! With nothing to do, he called Deepwater and Lu Ke to find a tavern to sit down. This was the first time the two had returned to Moonlit Night City. From the city gate to the tavern, they saw eight PK murders on the way. Some were seeking revenge, some were asking for a fight, and some were quarreling and killing after bumping into each other.
"As expected of Moonlit Night City, it really lives up to its reputation!!" Deepwater sighed.
At this time, the two players who weren't even level 10 left Gu Fei and Hundred Eras Jingren's line of sight and reported the situation to Weeds.
"We were discovered so quickly?" Weeds frowned, "How could you be so careless? I even told you to be careful, this is a big deal."
The two felt wronged, "I don't know, we were indeed very careful, but we were still discovered."
"Then did you guys find anything?"
"No, we just had our eyes on them," the two said.
"What happened after we were discovered?"
"That Qianli got drunk and came over with a sword. We just left like before," the two said.
They were indeed violent … Weeds wiped his sweat. It seemed like he wasn't just scaring them when he threatened to kill them in the BBQ shop.
"Alright, you two can go!" Weed sent the two of them away and immediately reported to Five Nights.
Five Nights was furiously writing the contract! Deepwater really understood the studio. They indeed had all kinds of standard contracts, and big studios like Inky also had many in the game, so they could directly discuss business in the game. However, the project with Gu Fei was a completely new industry, so Five Nights couldn't find a suitable format, so he found a similar one to modify it. He couldn't directly edit it in the game like on a computer, so he could only make a stack of paper and copy it.
"We were discovered? We didn't find anything? "Five Nights frowned when he heard the report. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will always be victorious! Five Nights didn't have any malicious intentions when he asked the two of them to spy on Gu Fei. He just wanted to know the whereabouts of Gu Fei and Hundred Realms Strategist. He wanted to know if they would do anything related to the upcoming negotiations so that he could take the initiative. Now that the two of them were disconnected after just a few minutes, he was naturally a little suspicious.
"Forget it, I'll act according to the situation!" Five Nights thought about it and didn't have any other ideas, so he could only hurry up and get the contract done. After thinking for a while, he sent a message to Gu Fei and Hundred Realms Jingren, telling them that he was currently working on the contract in the game, and that he would directly show them in the game.
"It's still more convenient to communicate face to face!" Five Nights' reason was very reasonable.
"Five Nights is working on the contract in the game, he'll bring it to us in a while," Gu Fei said.
"Yes, I'm looking forward to it." Deepwater nodded.
The four of them had been sitting in the tavern for about half an hour, and the four of them really couldn't find a common topic to talk about. Often, they would fall into an awkward silence after a few words, and in the end, they would just ignore each other. Lu Ke felt bored, so she dragged Deepwater to go shopping with her. Deepwater helplessly agreed, and just as the two were about to leave, Gu Fei suddenly said, "There's news, the contract is done!!"
"Heh, that's fast. Where do we meet? Let's go! "Deepwater said.
"Let's go!" Gu Fei led the way, and the place where Five Nights was supposed to meet was still Inky's BBQ.
Not long after they left, they came back again. Weeds welcomed them outside the door, and when he saw that Gu Fei and Hundred Realms Jingren had brought two more people, he asked in confusion, "These two are?"
"Oh, my friends, and they came to take a look." Gu Fei said.
Deepwater smiled at Weeds, "Brother, what's your name?"
"Weeds." Weeds said.
"You're a newbie! Do a good job, and you'll have a bright future! "Deepwater patted Weeds' shoulder and took the lead to enter. Weeds was confused by his actions, but seeing that people were entering one after another, he hurriedly followed and said, "Same place as before."
In the private room, everyone met. Gu Fei originally thought that there would be a storm of blood the moment they met, and he had already prepared his sword. Who would have thought that Five Nights' reaction was exactly the same as Weeds? When he saw Deepwater and Lu Ke, he immediately asked in confusion, "These two are?"
Gu Fei was startled, and immediately realized that the two's acquaintance was probably limited to the internet, and there was no such thing as meeting face to face, so they didn't know each other.
Sure enough, at this time, Deepwater also sent him a message, "Which one is Five Nights?"
"Talk to this one." Gu Fei hurriedly replied, and then saw Deepwater say with a fake smile, "Hehe, I'm his friend, and I heard about this, so I came to take a look."
"Oh! Welcome, welcome! "Five Nights didn't forget his etiquette, and quickly gave up his seat to the two. This private room was quite big, and it wouldn't be a problem to seat two more people.
After Deepwater sat down, he immediately took the initiative and said casually, "Where's the contract, take it out and let me see?"
There was already a stack of paper on the table, and Five Nights pushed it over, smiling, and said, "I just drafted this, and it's a bit rushed. If there are any mistakes or mistakes, please don't take offense."
"Oh right, I haven't asked …" Five Nights was asking for Deepwater's name, but Deepwater didn't answer. After taking the contract and glancing at it, he said with contempt, "Profit sharing contract?"
"Yes!" Five Nights smiled and nodded.
"Hmph!" Deepwater snorted coldly, and casually picked up the contract. His eyes glanced at the contract randomly, thinking that it was the same old trick, so he was thinking about where to start, but after a few glances, his expression became more and more surprised, and he couldn't help but glance at Five Nights.
The profit sharing contract was a trick, and this had never been a secret, nor was it unique to the studio. In other industries, there were more or less restrictions, but in the studio, which didn't have a complete legal system, it was used extremely arrogantly, to the point that it had become a street rat that everyone wanted to beat up. Many studios already didn't have this form of profit sharing contract in their minds, and today, Gu Fei actually took the initiative to propose this form. At that time, Five Nights and the others' hearts could be described as turning upside down. He actually took the initiative to propose a profit sharing contract with the studio, how many novices did he have that didn't understand the gaming industry? It was really hard to imagine that these two people, one was currently the number one expert in the game, and the other was a top-notch character like the Five Roaches.
How could Five Nights miss this kind of wonderful thing that fell from the sky? Naturally, he pushed the boat with the current, and pretended to think for a while before accepting, afraid that the other party would be suspicious. But in the end, Wu Ye felt that Gu Fei was still wary of him, so he said that he would ask his friends about it …
Five Nights didn't know who this friend was, but as long as one wasn't too inexperienced in the game, they would probably know the dirty inside story of the studio that had already been exposed. At this time, if Five Nights still wanted to treat this as a pie that fell from the sky, he would be a bit too stupid. His draft contract had made some corrections to a few obvious traps. At first glance, at this time, Water Depth actually didn't find any problems, so he was naturally very surprised.
"Could it be that the way the studio does things has changed?" Water Depth was puzzled. But it was really hard for him to accept this idea. He was a character that had dealt with many studios, and indeed understood the dirty methods that these people used to make money. Suddenly turning over a new leaf? They had to at least give a reason! Recently, he hadn't heard of any laws and regulations that targeted the field of online gaming studios.
As Water Depth thought about it, he began to carefully study the contract. Gu Fei also realized that the situation wasn't right. At the beginning, Water Depth was arrogant when he came in, with the word "trample" written all over his face, but after picking up the contract, the situation immediately changed. Water Depth was clearly a bit unprepared, while Five Nights seemed to have a card up his sleeve, as if he was very confident in the contract.
"What's the situation?" Gu Fei sent a message to ask Water Depth. This was the biggest advantage in the game, they could secretly communicate without leaving any traces.
"The contract is very suspicious." Water Depth replied.
"Oh? Why is it suspicious? "Gu Fei asked.
"It's not suspicious, that's the most suspicious thing about it." Water Depth said, but he had already flipped to the last page of the contract. Five Nights had been smiling as he watched his every move. Seeing that he had reached the last page, he waited for a while, and immediately took the opportunity to ask: "How is it, is there a problem with the contract?"
In this round, Water Depth had actually patched some of the loopholes that he was familiar with in this contract. Currently, there was only one problem, and that was the transparency of the accounts in the contract. Just as Water Depth was about to raise this question, he didn't expect Five Nights to see that he didn't speak for a long time, and actually spoke first: "Currently, there is one problem, and that is the problem of the details of the accounts. According to normal operations, the final income is based on the tax bill, but I see that you all understand, so I won't beat around the bush. Our studio's operation has a little difficulty in paying taxes, so we generally don't use the tax bill as the basis, so we have to carefully discuss what the final basis for the split will be. "
Water Depth was surprised. He didn't expect that Five Nights had become so cunning after not dealing with him for so long. Obviously, this guy was ready to eat Gu Fei and Eccentric Strategist like they were rookies from the beginning. But just as Gu Fei suspected that there was a trick, he also found that Gu Fei was on guard. This guy didn't have the slightest bit of wishful thinking, and made such a contract decisively. In this way, his sinister intentions from the beginning were all covered up, and now there was no problem with this contract at all. The only problem that was difficult to solve was the account problem in the split, and this guy even openly brought it to the table for discussion. In this way, this fellow had gained a firm foothold, both emotionally and logically.
As for the following issue of splitting the accounts, if this problem was so easy to solve, would it still be a cancerous existence? This guy put this problem on the table to show his fairness, but as a problem that couldn't be solved cleanly, what could he do in the end? At this time, what Five Nights put out was no longer a conspiracy, but an open conspiracy. This matter is in front of you, how do you deal with it, you think of a way!
How do I deal with it? Water Depth had a headache. Although Five Nights was cunning, Water Depth could see that he was quite sincere in this cooperation. Cooperating with them was indeed a good opportunity to make money. It was just that in this situation, it had to be said that Gu Fei's initiative to propose splitting the profits was a major mistake. It was very awkward now. He couldn't jump in knowing that he would suffer a loss, right? But now he changed his mind and said that he didn't want to split the profits and wanted to do something else? There was no suitable reason for this at all. In this way, even if the other party accepted it, they would use this as a bargaining chip to lower the asking price …
Water Depth was depressed. He didn't expect that Five Nights had evolved to the point that even he couldn't handle it. Unexpectedly, Gu Fei said at this time, "Can't you figure out the accounts? Aiya, if we can't figure this out, I'm afraid there's no way to continue this cooperation, right? "
Five Nights smiled and said, "That's right, so we still have to plan it out."
Water Depth sneered. Plan? This guy wouldn't use his brain on this matter!
Unexpectedly, Gu Fei nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Brother Five Nights. We'll wait for your news."
"Ah?" Five Nights was startled.
"We don't know much about this matter, so we'll have to trouble Brother Five Nights to think of a suitable plan." Gu Fei said sincerely.
Seeing Five Nights' face that didn't know whether to laugh or cry, Water Depth suddenly couldn't help but laugh out loud. Today, he finally understood what it meant to be firm without desires. No matter how sinister Five Nights was, unfortunately, he sincerely wanted to do this business. Meeting such a person who didn't have much sincerity, he could only be eaten alive!
