Chapter 514: Arena (2/2)
Xu Yang: ”Spare tire...”
Everyone burst out in the laughter at that point. Teams were starting to form all over the main guild as we prepared to take on the team arena. This was a new hope for everyone. The moment these corporations started to enter the game, it would mean that there would be more ways for players to earn money! As long as our skills were decent, it would definitely be able to put food on the table.
……
I continued to grind until 3 in the morning before a beam of golden light erupted from my character. I had successfully reached Level 130! I was now one step closer to my goal of Level 150.
Mn, once I reached Level 150, it would be time for me to enjoy my days as a mounted player too! Once I got a suitable mount, it would be the beginning of my glory days!
I went offline, took a bath, and went to bed.
I sank into a deep slumber the moment my head hit the pillow. By the time I woke up, it was already past ten in the morning. I hurriedly leaped out of bed and sent a message to both He Yi and Murong Mingyue to inform them that I would be having lunch with Lin Yixin. After that, I threw on some clothes and left the house.
I drove my car out of the neighborhood as I sped toward the main gates of the university. In the distance, I could see an eye-catching beauty standing next to a bed of flowers. She was attracting quite a few stares. It was Lin Yixin! She wore a coffee-colored suit, her adorable looks accented with a hint of maturity. This only enhanced her pure, ethereal beauty. I silently sucked in a breath of air. Any woman who possessed incredible beauty definitely had the fashion sense to go along with it.
Thunk!
Lin Yixin opened the door and plonked herself into the seat, causing more than a few students to shoot me looks of jealousy.
”Fucking hell, our campus belle just got into an X12. Ah, there’s no justice in this world! To think that a rich girl like Lin Yixin also has a sugardaddy…”
Lin Yixin’s face started to go red when she heard those words. but she didn’t bother retorting them. Instead, she glared at me and said, ”What are you waiting for?”
I spread my hands out helplessly and laughed. ”You still haven’t told me where that new bullfrog dry pot restaurant is!”
”Oh! Just turn right at the next turn and stick to the road. It’s just 100 meters away!”
”Okay!”
After I rounded the corner, I started to slow down. Just like she had said, there was a new bullfrog dry pot restaurant by the side of the road.
……
After we sat down and finished ordering our dishes, Lin Yixin and I started talking about Heavenblessed again.
”Lu Chen, did you check the official website this morning?”
”No. What’s up?”
”In a single afternoon, the Eternal Moon Corporation received applications from more than three thousand companies to set up gaming clubs in Heavenblessed. Huawei, Haier, ASUS, Suning, and Shanghai Airlines are among the companies that contacted the Eternal Moon Corporation. Now that these giants have thrown their hats in the ring, the market for online arena teams are about to explode! They’ll start recruiting from all over the country the moment their applications are officially approved!”
Lin Yixin’s delicate lips pursed up before she laughed and said, ”I already received three phone calls in the morning and every call was about recruiting me into a gaming club. The highest salary I was offered was 1.2 million.”
”Did you agree to it?”
”Nope, I rejected all of them. I’m in no rush to accept any offers. I’ll survey the market first.”
”Haha. How come no one has called me yet…”
My phone started to ring just when I had finished saying those words. A look of shock flashed over Lin Yixin’s face before she laughed and said, ”Has it really come?”
”Yeah.”
It was a Shanghai number. After I picked up the call, I heard a woman’s sultry voice on the other line. ”Hello, may I ask if I am speaking to Mr. Lu Chen, Heavenblessed’s Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand?”
”Yes, and you are?”
”Oh yes, I am the assistant general manager of Shanghai Pingyuan Motherboard. Our company is trying to establish a gaming club within this month and we are asking if you are interested in joining us as the new captain of our gaming club. We are willing to offer you very generous terms.”
I grinned before I replied, ”Oh? What sort of terms are you offering? Sorry, I’m a blunt person by nature.”
The person speaking to me laughed. ”Haha, no problem! Let’s get right to the point then! I can make the call on this and offer you five hundred thousand RMB every month. Additionally, 50% of whatever prize money your club earns in competitions will be given to split among the members of the club. We are also building a base for the gaming club in Shanghai itself. If you come to Shanghai, food and board will be provided. What do you think? Are you willing to join us?”
I chuckled before replying, ”Let me think about it first. If I’m interested, I’ll contact you again.”
”Oh. Erm… We are still open to discussing your salary. We are really very sincere about…”
”Yeah, I got it. If I’m interested, I’ll contact you again!”
I immediately ended the call. I had been floored by the terms they offered, and it wasn’t in a good way. I said, ”Damn, they even want to take 50% of our winnings from competitions? Isn’t that ridiculous? Just the amount I’ll earn alone from participating in these competitions will be more than five hundred thousand! They’re obviously trying to pull a fast one over me!”
Lin Yixin giggled before she replied, ”Yeah, I think so too. Given your skill and ability, you shouldn’t bite for anything less than three million. In the current China server, there isn’t more than ten people who can pose a threat to you in the champion arena, so you have a very high chance of winning.”
A mysterious smile crept up on my face as I stared at Lin Yixin. ”Hmph, that’s right! The little girl who poses the greatest threat to me even got me to treat her to lunch just now. Ah, there really isn’t any justice in this world…”
