Chapter 11. The Yuewu Team
Xijiang New City was located in the most bustling downtown area of Xijiang City.
Unlike the suburban area where Chen Zixuan lived, the land prices here were sky-high, every inch of ground worth gold, with skyscrapers everywhere.
Not only did it boast the largest high-tech product exhibition and sales market in the city, but it was also the gathering place for nurous luxury brands and ani rchandise vendors.
Xijiang Ani Street was ho to all sorts of ani rchandise shops, arcade halls, and maid cafés.
In addition, the city's largest ani-thed internet café, Yuewu Internet Café, was located here.
This café's décor was extrely otaku-style.
The lobby was lined with glass cabinets filled with ani rchandise, flaunting the owner's substantial wealth to all who entered.
In the lobby on the first floor, there was an enormous screen dedicated to livestreaming esports competitions, making it suitable for hosting national small- and dium-sized gaming tournants.
All the staff in the café were young won dressed in various cosplay costus, their slender necks adorned with leather collars, round thighs accentuated with garter belts, enchanting dark eye shadow decorated with glitter, and sheer black stockings reflecting a soft sheen under the lights.
It was said that the owner of this internet café was a young and beautiful girl.
However, these were mostly just rumors, as very few people had ever actually seen the owner.
At this mont, in the most private conference room on the third floor of Yuewu Internet Café, a young woman dressed in black business attire sat at the head of the table, looking down at everyone else.
Seated on both sides were over twenty people, all sitting upright and attentive—they were the core mbers of the Yuewu Team.
The girl's na was Yin Xinyue, and she was the behind-the-scenes owner of this café.
With dark lipstick, a pair of long, enchanting eyes, mist-blue shoulder-length hair, and a curvaceous, sexy figure accentuated by her professional outfit—her white shirt was filled out in the chest, and her hips were hugged by her skirt underneath which long, stocking-clad legs were seductively displayed—she was the picture of unique allure.
If you hadn't seen her without makeup, you would never guess her real age was just 21, and she was currently a sophomore at a certain university of finance.
Yet, facts proved that this young woman had far greater vision than an average person.
Two or three years ago, she had already begun recruiting top players in the gaming world to form the Yuewu Team, based on the café's foundation, and they had achieved excellent rankings and results in nurous dostic gaming tournants.
Several months earlier, she had turned her attention to the soon-to-be-open beta of the new ga 《Legend of Kaloran》.
Yin Xinyue was suprely confident in the ga's prospects, believing that it would eventually replace all other gas on the market and beco the cornerstone of a new era for esports.
Thus, as soon as the VR headsets were released, she bought dozens of them, along with professional VR gaming chairs, backup diesel generators in case of power outages, and the fastest satellite network communicators.
She converted a room of several dozen square ters into an ultra-professional gaming room—all just for the imminent release of 《Legend of Kaloran》.
However, after less than three hours since the servers opened, their entire team had already logged off and gathered in this conference room.
The air was thick with oppression.
Finally, a team mber couldn't help asking, "Sister Yue, why did you call us here for a eting? Aren't we going to keep leveling up to climb the rankings?"
Yin Xinyue retorted irritably, "Climb what? Pinnacle is already ahead of us. Do you think they'll let us surpass them now?"
The mber imdiately fell silent and said nothing more.
The girl tapped her finger lightly on the tabletop, her beautiful brows furrowed as though in deep thought.
After a while, she looked up and asked in a deep voice, "Any leads on acquiring equipnt?"
During their earlier battles, Yin Xinyue had already drawn so conclusions.
Without good weapons, even fighting the lowest-level sli monsters was incredibly difficult.
Unlike other online gas, 《Legend of Kaloran》 was terribly hard. Even for professional players like them, early ga survival without decent weapons was a real struggle.
Unfortunately, their team wasn't lucky at all—during the initial newbie lottery, not a single person drew a blue-rarity weapon.
Only one mber won a pair of blue gloves, which were practically useless.
A girl seated not far from her hastily reported, "Sister Yue, I checked the forums. So far, only about one in a thousand players got blue equipnt in the starting draw, and none of them seem willing to sell right now."
"I see."
Yin Xinyue nodded expressionlessly and leaned back in her chair, feeling extrely agitated.
They had prepared everything, yet their start was still so rough.
Getting outpaced by the Pinnacle Team was understandable, since they were a veteran powerhouse—losing to them wasn't really unexpected.
But who the hell was that Cecilia in first place?!
How could their entire team of pros be crushed by an unknown solo player they'd never even heard of?!
As she brooded over this, the clatter of a chair sounded. A girl clutching a tablet suddenly jumped to her feet, her expression excited. She exclaid, "Sister Yue, there's new intel!"
"What intel?"
Yin Xinyue imdiately perked up and asked quickly.
"Latest scoop on the forum! The European server—so veteran players there discovered a world-class BOSS! Killing it doesn't just trigger a global announcent, it also drops a whole set of epic equipnt! A whole set!"
The conference room was instantly in an uproar!
After a long while, Yin Xinyue clenched her fists and asked in a deep voice, "Did those players on the EU server take down that BOSS?"
"No."
The girl glanced at her tablet and shook her head.
"Apparently the BOSS's abilities are insanely strong. Their whole team was annihilated."
Upon hearing this, a fierce fighting spirit flared up in Yin Xinyue's eyes.
"Since we have this info, it ans all dostic players must already know. Pinnacle will move fast too. No ti to waste—log in! The first kill of a world-class BOSS in the national server—we, Yuewu Team, must secure it!"
"Roger!"
The team responded in unison around the table.
"Wait,"
Yin Xinyue thought for a second and added:
"Lingdang, try to dig up more on this Cecilia. If she's a solo player, we must win her over to our team, no matter the price. Whatever it takes—just don't let the Pinnacle folks snatch her away."
"Understood."
The girl with the tablet nodded repeatedly.
As all mbers of Yuewu Team logged back into the ga, the conference room fell silent once more.
anwhile, the sighting of a world-class BOSS on the EU server had already ignited a storm online!
The post breaking this news attracted millions of players within minutes, rocketing to the top of the forum in no ti!
The comnt section was chaos—no one could resist the allure of epic gear!
"Damn! Blue equipnt prices are already sky-high—what must a whole epic set be worth, millions?"
"Servers just opened and all the rich whales are offering crazy prices for powerful gear. If anyone manages to defeat a world-class BOSS, they'll never want for food or clothing in this life!"
"Aotian Team urgently acquiring blue rarity weapons, paynt first, team webpage and contact info are....."
"Say no more, I'm logged in already. Anyone farming slis in newbie village? Looking for a party."
"Mist Swamp, water ghost extermination quest, need teammates—need DPS and a healer!"
"These foreigners suck, if I was playing, that epic set would already be on . Bunch of losers."
"Keyboard warrior, are you dead yet? STFU and try smashing the BOSS with your keyboard, why don't you?"
"Yingyingying—any cuties out there to carry ? The slis are so scary."
"Any group of one? Xijiang City local guys, add as a friend, account: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx."
"Raven's Silver-haired Loli Gathering! The group is full of silver-haired lolis! Group number: 1039173562, join for free adoption......"
