Chapter 115: Tianlong Game’s Revenue Exploded Again

Du Ziteng thought of this and immediately took out his phone to call the game studio. He had previously contacted them to purchase the Dragon Slaying Set, and now he wanted to acquire one more piece of equipment.

After some negotiation, the final price was set at 5,000 per piece. With a set of ten pieces, it totaled 50,000 yuan.

Calculated this way, it was half the price of buying the 100,000-yuan equipment directly.

However, it would take a little bit of time.

A gentleman takes his revenge, even ten years is not too late.

I can't wait ten years, but waiting a few days is fine.

Inside a university dormitory, a roommate looked at Duan Mingyuan and asked.

"Brother Yuan, the National Day holiday is in two days. Do you have any plans? Are you going home?"

"I'm not going home, but I haven't decided what to do yet," Duan Mingyuan replied.

"How about we make some money together?"

"Make money? By working a part-time job?"

"How much can a part-time job pay? Let me tell you, if we're lucky, us brothers can definitely make ten thousand or so," the roommate said, patting his chest.

"What exactly are we doing?" Duan Mingyuan looked at his roommate curiously. He couldn't think of anything that could make money that fast.

"Grinding for equipment in Tianlong Game!"

"Forget it. You know how hard it is to grind for the Dragon Slaying Set. You might not even get a single piece in a whole holiday." Upon hearing that this was what his roommate meant, Duan Mingyuan immediately lost interest.

During this time, they had spent plenty of their spare time grinding for equipment, but to this day, not a single Dragon Slaying Set piece had dropped.

Hearing Duan Mingyuan say this, the roommate hurriedly explained.

"It's not the Tianlong Game set, it's the Gu Yue Set, that alternative to the 100,000-yuan noble equipment."

"People are already buying them tonight for 3,000 yuan a piece. Didn't I drop one the day before yesterday? Huzi also dropped one, and we've already sold them; the 3,000 yuan arrived instantly."

As he spoke, he showed the transfer record on his phone to Duan Mingyuan.

"Why is someone buying this piece of equipment too?" Duan Mingyuan looked at the transfer record, feeling a bit confused.

"Brother Yuan, you haven't logged into the game today, have you? Just log in and take a look, and you'll know," Huzi, who was on the side, suddenly said.

Hearing this, Duan Mingyuan immediately opened his computer and logged into the game. After reading the update announcement, he understood a little.

It turned out that the game developer had removed all equipment that could be purchased with money.

Since the Dragon Slaying Set was too hard to grind, some people had temporarily turned their attention to the slightly inferior Gu Yue Set.

Although the Gu Yue Set was also hard to grind, as long as one was willing to put in the effort, there was still a chance for it to drop.

The four of them in the dormitory had only been playing this game in their spare time, and over such a long period, they had still managed to get two pieces of the Gu Yue Set.

If they worked hard during the seven-day National Day holiday, they might really have a chance to drop four or five pieces of equipment. That would be over ten thousand yuan!

"How about it? Do you want to do it? The four of us in the dorm will work together and split the money from selling the equipment we drop equally," the roommate asked slowly after seeing Duan Mingyuan finish reading the update announcement.

"Huzi, aren't you going to accompany your girlfriend?" Duan Mingyuan turned to look at Huzi and asked. Usually, during holidays, this guy would always go out with his girlfriend.

Huzi waved his hand upon hearing this. "Not going out this time. She has to work on a new fashion design plan during the holiday, preparing to submit it to a new clothing company."

"Alright then, the four of us will do this job." Seeing this, Duan Mingyuan hesitated no longer and nodded in agreement.

"By the way, after this game update, the only place you can spend money is on the monthly pass, weekly pass, and daily pass. You must buy these three cards; they can increase the chance of dropping equipment."

"And it's not expensive. The three cards total only 12.1 yuan. If you can drop just one extra piece of equipment because of it, you'll have earned it back."

Early morning, Garment factory office.

Chen Mo looked at the 300,000 in System Funds on the system panel and fell into deep thought.

Yesterday, he had already notified the finance department to transfer 1.4 million in System Funds directly to the collection account designated by Li Maode.

Now, there was 300,000 in System Funds left, and tomorrow at 12 o'clock was the settlement day. Therefore, he had to spend the remaining 300,000 in System Funds before 12 o'clock tomorrow.

It seemed he could only make a fuss at the victory banquet.

"Shen Rou, have you booked the hotel I asked you to?"

"General Manager Chen, it's already booked. It's a large banquet hall, and the news of the victory banquet has been conveyed to the employees of both companies. The time is set for noon today," Shen Rou said quickly.

She was increasingly amazed at General Manager Chen's generosity. Emperor Hotel could be considered a five-star hotel in Jiang City, and it was much more upscale than the previous Xingyu Restaurant.

Dining inside there would definitely cost a lot of money.

"That's good!" Chen Mo leaned back in his chair, feeling slightly relieved. He hadn't expected that the System Funds, which he thought he could secure with certainty, would lead to so many issues.

Fortunately, he was very vigilant this time and discovered it in time, having sufficient time to react.

However, spending over 300,000 in System Funds on a dinner party for fewer than ninety employees still required some careful planning.

Approaching noon, Cangxue Games.

Fang Chang had put down his work and arrived at the employees' studio.

"I'm sure everyone already knows the news that General Manager Chen is holding a victory banquet today, and the time and location have been notified in the group chat. Later, there will be a bus downstairs to pick us up. Those who don't want to drive themselves can take the bus."

"There is one more thing regarding the holiday. After the dinner today, we will work one more day tomorrow, and then the holiday begins. And it's not the normal seven-day short holiday, but a nine-day long holiday."

"Whether it's the dinner or the nine-day holiday, these are benefits given to us by General Manager Chen. I am sure that if you go out and find any other company, you won't have such treatment."

"So, the one thing I want to say here is that I hope you cherish such a good platform and such a good company. With so many holidays and so much rest, you can play however you want, whenever you want."

"But the only thing I require is that you give your all during work hours. General Manager Chen might not notice your work status, but I can see it clearly."

"Did you all remember that?" Fang Chang scanned every employee in the studio.

"Manager Fang, we all understand these things. If anyone in my team doesn't work hard or slacks off during work hours, I will be the first one to object," the team leader of Group 1 stood up first and stated.

Following that, the team leaders of the other groups also stood up and expressed their stance.

Seeing this scene, Fang Chang nodded with satisfaction. Since General Manager Chen had made him the manager of the company, he must be responsible. People are inherently lazy.

Therefore, he had to constantly remind these employees that such a good job was hard to come by, and if they didn't cherish it, there were many people queuing up behind them.

Only by letting these employees maintain a certain sense of crisis could they cherish their current jobs.

"Alright, you all continue with your work." After saying this, Fang Chang returned to his office.

Not long after, Zhao Bowen walked in and said with an excited expression, "Brother Fang, today Tianlong Game's revenue exploded again."
