Bullshit, isn’t it because there’s no one there that’s why he’s going? If there were more people, he wouldn’t dare to go.
And the land in the city is so ridiculously expensive. Even if he sold Lin Miao, it wouldn’t cover a month’s rent. Having done so much business, he doesn’t want to waste ti arguing with those real estate companies and agents. He’s too familiar with the ga here. Without connections, getting ripped off is considered lucky. Be careful, you might get a grand slam. Besides, being a loner, until the players show up, he might not be able to provoke these Leviathans, but he can definitely avoid them.
Compared to visible threats like the Chaotic Blade Association or Night Wanderer, the invisible ones are the scariest.
So Lin Miao gave Seth a knowing look and said, "So things are more convenient outside the city. As for the Night Wanderer, when friends co, we have food and wine; when enemies co, we have knives and guns. A bunch of second-rate scum who don’t even dare to enter the city can’t make much of a splash."
Then Seth made an expression of sudden realization, but whether he really understood or not, only the devil knows.
Nothing unnecessary happened afterward, until the vehicle actually entered the H4 skyscraper parking lot. Seth bid farewell to Lin Miao and left, at which point David in the back seat finally relaxed. He even took the elevator with Lin Miao and remained silent until he saw Lin Miao enter his apartnt, finally believing that Lin Miao had been telling the truth about them being neighbors.
There were indeed only three rooms separating their doors, not far at all.
...
David’s matter was just a small episode for Lin Miao. He did extend a helping hand because of the guy’s mother, but not for anything else, it was for connections.
As for what kind of connections, if that mother has any savvy, it will be revealed tonight.
But before that, Lin Miao sat back at his desk, preparing to see how the buzz around his ga’s official site and community was fernting. He’d also announce the winners of the first batch of prizes.
Even if it’s rigged.
By the ti he gets to Stone Ridge Mountain tomorrow, it’ll just about be ti to unleash the mad dogs.
The group chat was livelier than when he left in the morning, many lurkers had co out. Conversations that couldn’t even fill 99 ssages a day had floated to who knows how many pages, and the discussions were all around the ga. He’d been ntioned quite a few tis, but due to the ti difference, it was already early morning there, with only those pulling all-nighters still alive.
Reservations had increased from 7 to double digits. After all, there was just one promotional video Lin Miao casually fild, and the voiceover was cut from a TV ad that day, but he was confident that once the first batch of players experienced it, public opinion would explode. It wouldn’t lack bulls or horses—oh, I an players.
[Brother Dao: This CG is just so-so. Other than the realistic graphics, there’s nothing outstanding, not even actual gaplay footage. That holographic projection is just a gimmick, it can’t be real.]
[New Style Chicken La Warrior: The graphics actually look plausible, very cyberpunk. They must have gone to great lengths setting it up.]
[West Lake Aquatic Tycoon: What exactly is cyberpunk, can anyone explain?]
[New Style Chicken La Warrior: It’s Cyber punk, a cultural product of 20th-century cybernetics, mainly spread in Neon and the West, considered niche culture. Back then, there were lots of similar things, like steampunk, atomic punk, dieselpunk, all about rebellion, but it’s not that popular dostically, hard to resonate with those foreigners.]
[It’s Wig Not Gui: Hearing you talk like this, this ga seems like a disaster.]
[Potato without a Neck: So what if it’s niche, a ga still has to rely on quality.]
[Brother Dao: Ga companies these days don’t care about players’ opinions at all. Test servers aren’t even for testing. I don’t think this company, which doesn’t even have a na, can produce any good ga demos.]
While Potato was sticking up for Ashui, Sun Yifeng, the West Lake Aquatic Tycoon, was still typing into Baidu, letter by letter, trying to find out what cyberpunk and cybernetics an.
[Wildman Fist: Seems like a shooting type, probably not my cup of tea. I prefer honorable lee and RTS.]
[Assassin can’t be Brother Ni: There’s sothing wrong with the site. I’ve tried the whole day, no matter if it’s software screen recording or browser download, the promotional video can’t be recorded, can only be spread via the link, and the IP address can’t even be detected, not sure if it’s encryption or what.]
Everyone was chatting enthusiastically when Lin Miao finally spoke in the group
[A Lot of Water: Thanks for the support, everyone. The list of the first batch of prize winners will be announced soon, and the ga will launch at 7 PM tonight. The official website will update in advance, adding features like forums, actual gaplay images, encyclopedias, and more.]
[It’s Wig Not Gui: The main guy is out, huh. Give a spot, and I’ll be a free promotion for you.]
[A Lot of Water: Congratulations to ’Wildman Fist’, ’Assassin Not Brother Ni’, ’Potato without a Neck’, and ’West Lake Aquatic Tycoon’. Please visit the official website and confirm your prize. We will promptly mail the gaming equipnt to the winners, and there will be a second draw later.]
[Brother Dao: Rigged, absolutely rigged, I protest! Why not !]
[Potato without a Neck: Co on, I just saw you trashing Ashui’s company. No normal person would give prizes to soone like you, a little hater.]
[Wildman Fist: Yeah, right, but aren’t four a bit too few @A Lot of Water, maybe add a few more people for more excitent.]
