425 Godly Land Internal Testing (2/2)

The only information provided by the game designer was a one-minute cinematic trailer with an ancient Oriental and Western background. There were warriors, archers, mages, thieves, and a lot more.

In New Era, Wei Wendong chose an archer, but he planned to change his style and play as a mage. Since it was virtual reality MMORPG, the mage would definitely feel more powerful compared to physical damage dealers! Anyone could swing a sword and shoot an arrow in real life, but who could throw a fireball?

But just as he was planning how he would spend the two months, his phone began to ring.

”Who is calling me this late?” Wei Wendong glanced at the darkness outside and picked up his phone.

When he saw the caller, he was stunned. It was his formal boss calling him, the big boss of King, Wang Tao! Wei Wendong was deliberating on what made the boss call him personally as they didn't have any contact for over a year.

”Hello?”

”Haha, Little Dong, do you still remember me?” Wang Tao said with a smile.

”Of course, how is Boss Wang doing?” Wei Wendong chatted with his old boss.

”Doing well, oh, do you have any interest in returning to Kings?” Wang Tao asked.

[Return to Kings? Play League of Legends? Who plays that anymore?]

Wang Tao seemed to have sensed Wei Wendong was about to reject as he immediately dropped a mega bomb.

”Twenty million, yearly salary.”

Wei Wendong held his breath.

[Twenty million, damn, two times the premium!]

Even as a streamer with the highest earning potential, Misaya was only worth twenty million. Although Wei Wendong's influence and reputation were not far off, New Era was not a game that could easily pump up the viewership as competitive games do. It is less common for the viewers to give ”666 (1)” compared to LoL, therefore his yearly income was only nine million.

”But boss Wang, I don't want to scam you, my LoL skill has already-” Wei Wendong squeezed the words out of his mouth.

The offer was attractive, but he knew his skills well.

”Who is asking you to play LoL.” Wang Tao laugh, he paused, before he asked in a quite reserved voice, ”Is the screenshot on your Weibo real?”

”Screenshot?” Wei Wendong came to a realization.

Kings made the wrong judgment call when New Era first came online. Wang Tao initially thought the game had a great promotion with great graphics, but it was still lackluster compared to the dominate LoL kingdom.

Therefore, while Kings did form a New Era division in the beginning, it didn't invest in too many resources. But then, once the guilds that invested heavily rose with the rise of New Era, Kings began to regret their decision, but it was too late. A bunch of esports clubs with a name no less than Kings spawned out. A club named Conquerors was almost edging Kings out as the dominant club in Hua.

Therefore this time, Wang Tao would not miss the <Godly Land> ship!

Everyone knew that the big trend on internet development was virtual reality. PC games were on a downward trend, and Future Technology was the leader in domestic artificial intelligence technology. With the release of this Godly Land, it was combing their competitive edges together. The throne of Tencent's empire might not be so secure after all.

But unfortunately, none of Kings member obtained an internal test spot.

Although Future Technology provided some spots for the major guilds in New Era, the spots were mostly targeted towards guilds with major influence. What made Wang Tao frustrated was that the Kings' Guild had no influence in New Era at all.

He threw in some money a few months ago, but it only managed to bring the guild to above average. Compared to the top five in the server, there was still a noticeable difference.

Fortunately, Wei Wendong's Weibo post made him see hope.

Professional player plus internal test participant! It was easy to foresee that this guy's future in the Godly Land was bright. Therefore, Wang Tao immediately called him and extended an offer to the ex-member.

Wang Tao coughed, used a serious tone, and spoke to Wei Wendong with sincerity.

”The Kings Esports Club sincerely wishes for your return and bring Kings our formal glory. Also, you'll be the guild leader of ”Godly Kings”, are you interested?”

The guild leader of the Kings guild.

Wei Wendong's eyes widened. He didn't think the always cautious formal boss would bet on such a risky move.

-With Kings' resources as well as his own professional ability, and the experience as an internal player…

He took a deep breath as he felt his heart pumped furiously.

The feeling of one step to heaven was just like this.

”Yes. I'm very interested!”

”Welcome home, my Shadow King.” Wang Tao laughed out loud.
