By the ti Delicious Wind Goose hurried ho and reentered the Mist Continent, it was almost dark.
Moreover, he found that the Wandering Child and Lin Yiyi were both in his room, drinking tea, eating pastries, and watching a live stream.
Noticing that Delicious Wind Goose had co to, the Wandering Child cast a disdainful glance his way.
"You’re so slow, old goose. You’ve been offline for almost an entire day."
"You’re not a wind goose, you’re a penguin."
"No, it’s Delicious Air-Dried Goose."
The Wandering Child and Lin Yiyi took turns ribbing him.
Delicious Wind Goose, sowhat annoyed and embarrassed, retorted, "Scram, you two... I went to et with President Chen."
"President Chen?"
The Wandering Child looked surprised, "The one that’s going to parachute into our platform later?"
People tend to form their own circles.
The three of them got along well partly because none of them were weak players, avoiding holding each other back and having more in common to talk about. Another reason was that they all lived in Shen City, making it relatively easy to et up offline.
Before entering this ga, Delicious Wind Goose and the Wandering Child would often et up — even though one played card gas and the other played MOBA gas, they were of similar age and both were popular strears.
Out of the first batch of forty players in the beta test, eighteen were from the Doucat live streaming platform.
They actually knew quite a few acquaintances with decent gaming skills.
But they hadn’t received an invite to the beta test...
That was quite unfortunate.
Among the Doucat platform’s Eighteen Arhats, the most popular strear was naturally Delicious Wind Goose.
He was a well-known card ga strear who could guarantee a good show while consistently demonstrating his skills. In the ladder rankings of so card ga, he always maintained a spot within the top fifty... His most impressive trait was that he was not a ta-player but a loyal leader of the Warrior Class, having even participated in professional leagues and once reaching the top four in the individual world championship.
Because when he played MMORPGs in the past, he always chose the Warrior Class.
And in real life, he was an enthusiast of fully armored combat with quite a high level of skill, even having nearly qualified to participate in the Battles of the Nations.
He truly was a pillar of the Warrior Class.
It’s safe to say, he was one of the few mainstays in the Doucat platform’s card ga area. His popularity was consistently in the top five across the entire platform.
Compared to half-dead strears like Wandering Child (Kid God) and Jiu’er (Glutinous Rice Wine Ball), Delicious Wind Goose’s irregular streaming schedule over the past few days had a significant impact.
Even the higher-ups at the platform took notice, huh...
The Wandering Child’s expression beca sowhat serious.
"What do you an by parachuting in?" Delicious Wind Goose couldn’t help but laugh, patting Kid God’s shoulder, "Old Chen, man! Beer Chen, your forr teammate when you were a pro!"
"What the heck?!"
Kid God was startled: "I knew his family was well-off, but I didn’t think he was that well-off... No way, I have to renegotiate my contract with him!"
Although it sounded a bit like a joke, Delicious Wind Goose nodded in agreent: "Go ahead, Kid. I’ve already spoken to Old Chen. All of us who entered the ga from Doucat, if we can, should switch contracts to cut down our daily streaming hours.
"I’ve already made the switch, cutting my daily streaming ti in half. This ga... no, I should say the exploration and growth in this world, I believe is much more important than our streaming work."
"Alright, I got it."
Kid God nodded earnestly: "Then I’ll start a thread on the forum in a bit, to let everyone know.
"Thanks, old goose."
"It’s nothing. This was an issue you all would have faced sooner or later... I’m just helping you address it sooner rather than later."
Gourt Swan sighed, "But to avoid him slashing our wages too much, I told President Chen a bit about the Mysterious Continent."
"How much did you tell him?"
"About half, not quite half... What I said pertained to the VR ga, that we were in secret testing. The rest is confidential."
Gourt Swan shrugged helplessly and said, "If I had told the truth, they would have been even less likely to believe ..."
"Mmm, that makes sense..."
The Wandering Child nodded.
Honestly, if he weren’t one of the beta testers himself... If soone had told him that one could project their consciousness into another world just by tapping a mobile app, he wouldn’t have believed it either.
"However, he promised to keep it confidential for us. And he believed it, or at least, he seed to believe it, which gave so face—or maybe it was your face. He won’t cut our wages too much, livestream hours were reduced by half, and the signing fee is only deducted by a quarter for now. After a year, if the hours go back to normal, we’ll revert to the original contract. If the hours are still half, we’ll cut it further to half."
It was like taking a prolonged vacation.
Within a year, with the livestreaming ti cut by half and the salary reduced by only a quarter... That was indeed quite sincere.
Gourt Swan added, "But the precondition is that we have to increase the penalty for breach of contract regarding changing jobs. Moreover, if there’s any other intelligence on the Mysterious Continent, we must contact him imdiately after the confidentiality period expires."
"Of course."
The Wandering Child agreed, "If this ga ever produces invitation codes, I’d definitely give the first one to Beer Chen.
"He has a much broader perspective than I do, plus he’s smart..."
"The most important thing is, if we can get the boss involved, we can take more days off... right?"
Lin Yiyi blinked and couldn’t help but laugh.
The Wandering Child looked at Lin Yiyi with so envy:
"Sotis, I really envy you guys. So much freedom with your ti, not to ntion taking off a few days, even one or two months without anyone coming after you..."
"No no no, if we indeed took off for one or two months, people would definitely co looking."
Lin Yiyi contradicted.
"By the way, where’s Jiu’er?"
Gourt Swan asked curiously, "And you two staying here... Do you have any directions to pass on to ?"
"Jiu’er has already entered the instance. She’s doing well, and has discovered a new map we’ve never seen before... I’m giving her commands, you two chat."
Lin Yiyi stared fixedly at the live streaming screen in the void, saying offhandedly, "We’ve agreed to take turns because this erosion degree is sothing unknown, but it’s still better to keep it under control.
"The trouble with this instance is, you have to have soone on the outside directing. Otherwise, it’s just too arduous to handle on your own.
"Last night it was our turn to be in battle while you directed. So today, it should be your turn to enter the instance... We’ll watch the livestream and rest outside."
As she spoke, Lin Yiyi pointed to the bread and fruit on the table, "You might as well not go out. Just grab sothing to eat and drink, then get back to bed."
"It’s just that when we log off, this body here doesn’t accumulate hunger or the need to pee," Gourt Swan couldn’t resist remarking, "Otherwise, I feel like I might have wet the bed by now..."
"Oh, right, Old Goose. There’s one more thing."
The Wandering Child suddenly asked, "Tan Juan is back. That good favor store... just to be safe, none of us has touched it yet, we’re all waiting for you. Do you have any advice?"
"...Then I better not head into the instance for now, you can’t access the forum from there."
When it ca to serious matters, Gourt Swan’s expression beca grave, "Just go straight to it... Your favor level is the highest, right? So what you can see is probably the most.
"Don’t rush into anything, no matter what’s in the store. Rember to take screenshots and post them so I can have a look."
"Okay."
The Wandering Child nodded in acknowledgnt.
