If Nitrite wanted to adjust the studio's strategy, there was a big problem in front of him: Hundred Lives Strategist.
This was a talent that he had hired with a high salary. More importantly, he was a professional who was only useful in terms of leveling efficiency. As for other aspects … he was indeed strong in battle, but no matter how strong he was, he didn't need such a high salary to support him. The studio's main source of products was still through buying goods, observing the market, and killing monsters to obtain top-quality items. This was something that depended on luck, and the studio couldn't rely on this to survive. How could he afford to support the most expensive person in the studio for such a minor project?
Fortunately, Hundred Lives Strategist wasn't an unreasonable person. Nitrite was confident that if he explained the current situation to him, he would definitely understand. It wouldn't be difficult for them to break up peacefully. However, Hundred Lives Strategist had always been hardworking and honest. At the end of the day, Nitrite didn't feel good about getting rid of him since he couldn't use him.
Hundred Lives Strategist was enough to make Nitrite feel bad. At this moment, he could only secretly rejoice that he didn't poach Chen Qiyi the day before.
When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. After the boss was scammed, he disappeared without a trace. At that time, Nitrite Root was considering whether or not he should rope Chen Qiyi over to his side so that he could control the leveling efficiency.
He didn't do it because he hadn't found a way to contact Chen Qiyi. Chen Qiyi hadn't been online since yesterday. Nitrite tried many connections, but he still couldn't find a way to contact him in real life. Obviously, this was because Hundred Lives Strategist also regarded Chen Qiyi as a key talent, so he hid it well and didn't give others a chance to contact him. Other than himself, no one else in Hundred Lives Strategist knew how to contact Chen Qiyi offline.
Hundred Lives Strategist's move ended up helping Nitrite, saving him the trouble of carrying a huge burden. At this time, Nitrite just needed to get along well with Hundred Lives Strategist.
Hundred Lives Strategist wasn't online either, so he could only contact him offline. After Nitrite picked up the phone, a trace of hesitation flashed in his heart. The game company wanted to control the leveling efficiency. This was the answer he had come up with from the announcement. What if he was just being paranoid?
He had already gotten rid of the Hundred Years of Experience, but he realized that the business could still be done. Was he going to invite him again? Over and over again, Nitrite Radical blushed at the thought of it. It seemed that he was still not strong enough and had not cultivated his face to perfection!
"Am I being paranoid or not?" Nitrite flipped open the webpage and studied the game company's announcement again. After all, their Yunteng Studio had grown overnight because of the opportunity. In fact, their foundation was still very shallow. They didn't know anyone in the game company, so they couldn't inquire about the news. They could only guess secretly.
After mulling it over again, Nitrite Radical finally steeled his heart and decided to trust his own judgment. Now was not the time to be hesitant.
"Hello, is this Little Bai?" Nitrite finally made the call …
A few minutes later, the call ended, and Nitrite Radical put down the phone with a hesitant expression.
What he wanted to do was very smooth. He wasn't stopped at all from cooperating with the Hundred Years of Experience, but he didn't expect the Hundred Years of Experience to be the one who took the initiative to stop the cooperation. When he made the call and was about to talk about the purpose of his visit, the Hundred Years of Experience had already cut to the chase. He first expressed his apology and then said that he wanted to stop the cooperation.
Nitrite Radical was stunned and asked why, but the Hundred Years of Experience said that he couldn't come to the game for the time being because he had something urgent to attend to. Naturally, he couldn't help in the game anymore.
Nitrite Radical didn't get the benefit, but he still pretended to be obedient. He immediately went with the flow and terminated the contract with the Hundred Years of Experience. It was just that it was so coincidental and smooth that he found it a little unbelievable.
"Could it be that the game company is working on both sides? While restricting my studio, they're also communicating with these professionals?" Nitrite Radical couldn't help but think of this possibility. The game company was much more powerful than them, and there weren't many people like that. So far, weren't there only three people like Qianli Drunk, the Hundred Years of Experience, and Chen Qiyi? It shouldn't be a problem for the game company to take down these three people, right?
Nitrite Radical returned to the game as he thought about it. Chen Qiyi was still not online. He asked the Very Overpowered People, but Qianli Drunk was still not online. However, with Qianli Drunk's habit of going online, it was very normal that he wasn't online at this time.
At night, the game had calmed down a lot, and the game company's statement gradually calmed down the wave of condemnation against the studio. The players felt that their unity had won them the victory. Although there were no material rewards, they were quite satisfied mentally.
That night, Qianli Drunk was still not online.
Nitrite Radical felt that something must have happened here, but the Very Overpowered People's friends weren't as paranoid as Qianli Drunk's friends. Gu Fei wasn't a guy who cared about the game, and he became the world's number one player just because he was lazy. They were speechless. It wouldn't be strange if he didn't go online for two or three days, let alone one day.
But then again, everyone was quite looking forward to Gu Fei going online. They were still waiting for the game to become his! Yutian Shenming had a piece of paper in his pocket, and it was filled with things he wanted. He seemed to think of Gu Fei as Santa Claus.
After hearing this rumor, Slender Waist Dance couldn't help but exclaim, "Damn, this kid really hid it well!"
So, everyone took the opportunity to ask Slender Waist Dance if she wanted to buy a game to play, but Slender Waist Dance rolled her eyes. "Am I crazy? Is it necessary? "
Slender Waist Dance wasn't the kind of person who liked to boast. From her answer, everyone could tell that she could probably afford a game, but just as she said, it wasn't necessary. It was indeed a bit exaggerated to raise a cow just because he wanted to drink milk. Even on Qianli's side, the rumor was that his family wanted to get involved in the business, but it didn't say that they wanted to buy it as a toy.
Gu Fei didn't go online for a long time, and some people started to encourage Brother You to call and ask. In fact, when it came to curiosity, who could beat Brother You? Brother You really wanted to know what other amazing things this unique friend of theirs could do. Under everyone's urging, Brother You logged out of the game and hung up on Gu Fei. In the end, he returned to the game after a while and brought a lonely message to everyone. "My phone isn't turned on. I can't get through."
After all, it wasn't a big deal that his phone wasn't turned on, so everyone didn't think too much about it and continued with their own business.
One day, two days, three days passed, and Gu Fei still didn't go online. Under everyone's urging, Brother You also called again and again, but the phone number he left was still turned off.
Only then did everyone realize that the situation was a little strange. Moreover, Bai Jinglun hadn't shown up for so many days, and the seven people who were closer to Bai Jinglun didn't know where he was either. His phone couldn't get through either, so everyone started to get suspicious.
The information provided by Nitrite was worth considering, but it wasn't conclusive. Even if the game company restricted these people, at most, they would just ban their accounts or something. How powerful could they be to make these people turn off their phones?
Bai Jinglun said that he couldn't play the game because he had something to do. Could that be the reason for Gu Fei? They were the same kind of people. Could it be that they happened to be the same kind of people?
As for Gu Fei's circle, the group of otaku players really didn't have much experience. They didn't know why these people suddenly disappeared together.
"Is there a Martial Arts Circle Tournament?" Yutian Shenming made a wild guess.
"We can't turn on our phones during the Martial Arts Circle Tournament?" Brother You guessed.
Martial Arts Circle Tournament … Phones … When these two things were put together, it felt especially discordant.
No one knew the answer.
Sometimes, the Internet was like this. When people were around, you could feel a living person beside you, but when they suddenly disappeared one day, you couldn't find them at all.
In the blink of an eye, a week passed. Gu Fei and Bai Jinglun didn't show up at all. Everyone was very disappointed. When Gu Fei was around, they all felt a lot of pressure, but when the source of pressure was gone, they felt like they had lost someone to rely on. They were always talked about in front of the game, but at least one thing was right. Gu Fei played an important role in their group. Even if he didn't play the game for a long time, he had unknowingly become the backbone of the group. Everyone recalled their experience in the game. If Gu Fei wasn't there for every major event, it would definitely have a different ending. This was the embodiment of his important position!
"Is Qianli really not coming back?" Yutian Shenming held his little note tightly. The things he wanted on it were no longer important. At that moment, he only wanted this friend of his to come back.
"Who knows?" It was rare that Unscathed In Battle didn't laugh at Yutian Shenming this time. He also looked at Yutian Shenming with a melancholy face.
"Hey, who's that?!" Yutian Shenming suddenly pointed his finger.
"What?" Unscathed In Battle didn't have eagle eyes, so he could only stare and wait for 'that person' to come closer.
"I think it's Qianli!" Yutian Shenming said.
Unscathed In Battle was stunned, but he obviously wasn't as stunned as Yutian Shenming. He opened his friend list and saw that Qianli's ID was still black.
The person slowly walked closer. Unscathed In Battle looked up and was also stunned. Indeed, this person looked like Qianli.
The person got closer and closer. It seemed like he was heading towards the tavern behind Yutian Shenming and Unscathed In Battle. However, the two of them could already confirm that this person wasn't Qianli. They did look similar, but the difference in their aura was too big. Qianli was always straight when he walked on the road. He gave people the feeling that he was a piece of iron that wouldn't fall or soften. But this person? He was basically a puddle of mud. He made people feel like they were crawling. How could this be Qianli?
