The sun rose in the east, piercing through the clouds and shining on the streets of the border town.
Shops opened one after another and people started their day.
Xu Yuheng and Baifeng were walking down the street.
They had just bought fresh milk from the market and swept through the bakery. Now they were carrying enough food for a dozen people as they headed to the warehouse.
The moment he went online this morning, he saw the 10 elementalist instructors looking at him sadly. It was only then that Xu Yuheng remembered that these NPCs also needed to eat.
This was why he rushed out to buy food for them.
There was only bread and milk. Letâs eat it for now since there was no decent breakfast store in this remote area.
Back at the warehouse, the two of them distributed the bread and boiled fresh milk.
âI prefer soy milk to milk, as well as steamed buns and deep fried breadsticks. It is also good to eat steamed buns with condensed milk.â
Baifeng also bought a cup of milk to drink but he didnât touch the bread. These coarse breads were hard and tasteless. Eating them could replenish physical strength but he disliked them.
âWhat is soy milk? In addition, steamed buns and deep fried breadsticks?â
Edith couldnât help being interested when she heard his words. âIs it the food from the bravesâ hometown?â
Baifeng grinned. âYes, soy milk and deep fried breadsticks are a perfect match! There are people who have written special love songs about it.â
The young man was handsome and his smile was like a little sun. It was clean and refreshing and people couldnât help wanting to say more to him.
Xu Yuheng watched from the side and shook his head. Then he continued to count the players who would come over today.
âIt turned out to be like this.â
Edith tore the coarse bread in her hand and looked at him. âIf there is a chance, I really want to taste the food of the braves. It must be delicious.â
In the same way, she was also very curious about what type of world could cultivate a race of all elementalists.
âHey, there will be a chance!â
Baifeng took a few sips of the milk and poured another cup for Xu Yuheng.
He saw Xu Yuheng drinking absently-minded and wondered, âBrother Yu, do you think it will be a hit if we open a restaurant?â
Xu Yuheng heard the words and couldnât help looking at him.
Baifeng held the milk and said whimsically, âThis game is so realistic. If it is delicious then it can become a gimmick.â
âThere are so many foodies in reality but there are also many people who are afraid of getting fat. If they know that the gameâs food is delicious and you donât get fat, do we need to be worried that no one will come?â
Xu Yuheng couldnât help pausing.
He hadnât really thought much about how to run the game before because all his thoughts were on Snow Roland, Xiao Liâs stand-in.
After entering the game, he had only been thinking about going to Imperial City to see Snow Roland.
However, this game was related to the future of the Xu family.
Now after meeting Xiao Li, his thoughts and emotions werenât as extreme as before and he could understand some of his older brotherâs actions.
Now all the burden of the Xu family was almost on his older brother alone. After Xiao Liâs plane accident, their father was hospitalized for a period of time due to heart disease and retired five years ago.
In order to not irritate him, the company didnât dare tell him many things and it was the same with this game.
His older brother had always been silent and took care of everything on his own. If it wasnât for the assistant telling the truth, Xu Yuheng might not have known about Lin Huaâs group of old foxes.
Xu Yuheng had been addicted to the game during this period of time. In the eyes of his older brother, it was estimated that he wasnât doing his job properly. He also âcreated troubleâ by affecting the progress of the game and allowed the opponent to attack.
Baifengâs words reminded Xu Yuheng of something.
In addition to helping his brother protect the company, improving the playersâ experience was what he should do now.
A game was a game after all. The Xu family invested so much money and should receive something back. How to attract players and how to earn their money needed to be a matter of careful consideration.
At present, in terms of his experience, this was a good game but all aspects of gameplay were immature. Perhaps it was because the game group was mostly engaged in scientific research but many things were too idealistic.
For example, as far as he knew, Starry Sky Age didnât plan to open the game recharge service.
They didnât plan to do this because they feared it would affect the currency system of the game and cause an economic collapse.
Xu Yuheng didnât agree with this point. No game company would do this.
However, this was a problem that needed to wait until at least the public beta. Now the game group and Xu Company were in the process of arguing and there would definitely be relevant plans later.
Based on the quality of Starry Sky Age, Xu Yuheng believed that it would definitely become a phenomenon-level blockbuster game once the portable game helmets were released.
There was still time and he might be able to do some pushing.
âYou are right.â Xu Yuheng nodded. âThis is a very good idea.â
The praised Baifeng couldnât help smiling.
âDo you have any other ideas for the game?â Xu Yuheng wondered.
âI have a lot of ideas.â
Baifeng sat down next to him. âHow powerful are the elementalists? Not only can they fly in the sky but they also have other skills we could never think of.â
Xu Yuheng was seriously listening to the other personâs opinion when he felt something wrap around his waist. His heart jumped and he looked down to find that a vine had wrapped around his waist at some point.
As he watched, the vine bound him and slowly lifted him around one centimeter off the ground.
He had lowered his sense of realism so he didnât feel any pain even if he was tightly restrained. He looked up and saw Baifeng smiling at him in a harmless and simple manner.
âBrother Yu, look. Is it fun?â
Xu Yuheng supported the glasses that had slid down the bridge of his nose and released two wind blades, cutting the vine.
âLetâs get down to business and donât make trouble,â he stated while putting his feet on the ground.
Baifeng pouted and continued speaking, âThis feeling of releasing magic is very fun but the game hasnât publicized much in this regard. It seems they arenât paying much attention to it.â
âIâm very interested in the Light Body technique but unfortunately, I chose the wood system⊠Brother Yu, quickly learn the Light Body technique or a flying technique and take me to fly!â
Xu Yuheng saw his ecstatic expression and couldnât help smiling. âPerhaps we can shoot a game promotional video together.â
Baifeng blinked in a slightly puzzled manner.
âWhy do you want to do this? Starry Sky is such a big company and doesnât it have the money to do advertising? Once it is the public beta, the absolutely overwhelming advertising and marketing will be seen all over the world. Do they still need us?â
Xu Yuheng couldnât help but cough.
There was really⊠no money.
This game really burned money. The Xu family had spent hundreds of billions on it. How could they have any money for advertisement?
Previously, they went on the hot search due to Xiao Liâs prototype and this was actually a pleasant surprise. The company had pushed it a bit later but the money invested wasnât much.
He thought about it before saying, âI received an internal message that Starry Sky might be holding a promotional video competition so⊠I wanted to give it a try.â
âCompetition?â Baifeng regained his energy. âWhat are the rewards?â
âIt isnât clear yet.â
âI see.â Baifeng scratched his head and became excited. âOkay, letâs start preparing first and we will win the championship!â
Xu Yuheng sighed with relief when he saw this matter had passed and nodded with a smile. âYes.â
Then he looked at the number of people online in the mercenary group. It was just in time for all of them to arrive.
The 24 hour cooldown had passed so he shouted in the channel and summoned the last batch of players from the city.
Xu Yuheng had already summoned players once yesterday so the instructors were already immune to the strange racial skill of the braves.
At this moment, they were nibbling on bread and drinking milk untilâ
A player rushed to an instructor to say hello and the instructor squirted out all the milk.
The player couldnât dodge and was sprayed all over his face. He was staring angrily until he heard the female instructor next to him scream.
âYou⊠ghost!â
Then she screamed and fainted.
The 48 players summoned today included the 32 Imperial City players who died on the way here and resurrected in the central town.
This was the plan Xu Yuheng made after negotiating with Qing Yan.
At the moment, the 10 instructors were surrounded by 30 old acquaintances and their moods could be imagined.
After a moment of silence, the scene suddenly became chaotic like the start button had been pressed.
The female instructor fainted and an overly frightened instructor attacked the player who appeared in front of him with a smile in order to surprise him.
âFlying Blade!â
The skill belonging to the metal system appeared in an instant and a dagger with a sharp blade appeared in mid-air, directly plunging into the playerâs abdomen.
3,000!
A bloody critical hit damage value appeared above the playerâs head and his health bar was instantly emptied.
Before he could react to what happened, he fell straight down with his eyes closed.
âAhhh, ghost, donât come here!â
Another female instructor screamed. A small mound appeared above everyoneâs head and smashed down, burying two players alive on the spot.
