Xiao Buli was taken aback when he heard Li Shuren's comnt, "You've heard of this ga? How is that possible?"
Li Shuren nodded hesitantly, "I have indeed heard of such a ga, although I'm not sure if it's the sa one you're talking about." A wistful expression crossed his face. As he reminisced, he muttered, "That was when I first started in the industry. A big company ca to our company to poach talents.
Such behavior is usually detestable, but what was odd was that our company's boss readily handed over our finest ga planner to them, and even seed quite obsequious. At the ti it struck as strange. Later, I did a bit of digging and found out that this wasn't an isolated case. Many companies were experiencing the sa situation at that ti.
The ga planners who were poached were the finest in the industry. They were taken away by this big company, and no one knew what they went to do."
They disappeared from people's sight for nearly a year before suddenly returning. I probed the person from our company who was poached for a long ti but got nothing. He said he had signed a confidentiality agreent that absolutely forbade him from revealing anything."
But I was just too curious, so I got him drunk one ti over dinner and then pried information from him. I learned a bit, and it was different from what I had imagined. They weren't there to work on so major ga or undergo professional training. Instead, they were brought in to study a ga that had never appeared on the market.
According to him, the quality of the ga far exceeded all the gas that were currently available, and its graphics were so sophisticated they completely overshadowed the level of standalone gas. In his words, it was entirely of movie quality. When you walked in this ga, it was like being in an ancient blockbuster.
Moreover, the design of the various professions in the ga and the quest-triggering chanism were incredibly magical, truly unheard of."
Yet, this ga had never made an appearance in the public eye, nor had it been promoted in any way. This inevitably made it seem quite mystifying because according to him, if this ga were truly released, it could easily dominate the online gaming market.
My first reaction at the ti was disbelief; in fact, everyone found it hard to believe such an online ga could exist. Standalone gas, maybe, could have highly realistic graphics and perhaps with a bit of exaggeration be as impressive as he described. But it was simply impossible for an online ga to reach such a level, not to ntion the intelligent NPCs and various magical ga chanisms.
But the man swore he was telling the truth. When we asked him if he had played the ga, he said he hadn't; he had only helped with the reverse analysis of the ga. It seed the big company intended to clone this online ga and was trying hard to understand its operational chanics and gaming rules."
Everyone was so engrossed that when he suddenly stopped, they promptly asked, "Then what happened?"
Li Shuren gave a wry smile, "There was no 'then.' The guy died in a car accident two days later."
Xiao Buli sneered inwardly. He didn't believe in such a coincidence. Most likely, the guy was silenced, all because he couldn't keep his mouth shut.
"Did he reveal which big company it was?"
Li Shuren shook his head, "No, even drunk he didn't dare to reveal it. He just ntioned it was a big company from the north, but he wouldn't say exactly what it was called."
Xiao Buli nodded, thinking that this ga was most likely "Absolute Death Domain." As for the big company, maybe it was another guild's identity used in the real world.
He didn't press further but looked at Li Shuren, "So, are you willing to join this adventure of mine?"
Li Shuren smiled and nodded, "Of course. I've been in the online gaming business my whole life. If there's really such a magical ga in the world, how could I, a gar, not want to experience it?"
Xiao Buli smiled, "Good, then it's the five of us. We leave now."
"Now?" Everyone was taken aback. Han Wenhuan said, "Isn't it a bit excessive with this torrential rain? What's the rush?"
Xiao Buli shook his head, "It's not an exaggeration at all. I chose to et today precisely to use the heavy rain to cover our tracks as we leave this place. Otherwise, we might be followed. Perhaps you don't know, but when I just got here, I took care of two guys who were tailing ."
"Took care of, you an?"
Xiao Buli casually mid a throat-slitting gesture, and everyone's eyes went wide. To talk about killing so casually, was this still the sa club president they knew who only played gas?
Yet Xiao Buli seed to discern their thoughts and said in an indifferent tone, "Once you enter this ga, your life could be threatened at any mont. If you encounter other players, it's not guaranteed you will get along peacefully. If you kill soone in the ga, it's equivalent to killing a person in reality. If you play long enough, it's almost inevitable."
"In other words, if you're going to play this ga, you must be ready to kill at any mont; otherwise, you might end up being the ones who die. If you don't have that resolve, it's not too late to back out now. But once you start on this path, it's not so easy to turn back."
