Chapter 75: Could This Person Be a Shill?

"Oh!" Hearing Fang Chang's words, Chen Mo was instantly energized.

The weapons had finally been developed. Over these past few days, he had occasionally logged into Tianlong Game to play a bit.

But basically, every time he hadn't been playing for long, that Tuhao Ge would bring people to surround him and then send him "home."

He had been holding this grudge for a long time. Not only had Tuhao Ge caused his third settlement to fail, but he was also suppressing him in the game.

He could tolerate a lot, but this was too much.

With the new equipment out, he could finally wash away his previous shame.

Thinking of this, he answered without hesitation, "Okay, I'll log on immediately. Remember, the drop rate must be set to the lowest."

"Understood, Mr. Chen. I will arrange for them to log on right away."

He hung up the phone.

About two hours later, Fang Chang sent a message, stating that the equipment was already on the market and that his game account had also been equipped with the new gear.

Seeing this, Chen Mo hurriedly logged into the game.

However, upon logging in, he discovered that the game version needed an update. The update announcement had already publicized the content of this update, which naturally included the appearance of the new equipment and the acquisition method for each piece.

A few minutes later, the update was complete.

He entered the game, and sure enough, his game character was wearing the new equipment.

This revenge mission shouldn't have any surprises now, right?

Chen Mo thought to himself as he directly controlled his game character to go to the wilderness to grind mobs. Based on his experience from the previous few times, it wouldn't take long before Tuhao Ge would likely bring people over.

It was obvious that he had already sent people to camp him in the game.

Sure enough, not long after, a group of people surrounded him, led by none other than Tuhao Ge.

A while later,

Chen Mo controlled his game character to walk away, leaving behind a field of gradually fading corpses.

Having new equipment really made a difference. He once again experienced the thrill of a one-hit kill, and those people wouldn't be able to assemble this set of equipment in a short time.

So, he could act with impunity in the game.

How could it be described as anything but satisfying?

"Something's not right. Why is the attack power suddenly so much higher?"

"Yeah, I was killed in one hit."

"I found the reason. Everyone, take a look at the update announcement."

"Damn, this game released new equipment again. That kid is wearing the new equipment."

Chen Cong looked at the messages in the chat room and frowned. He found the update announcement and opened it to take a look. Soon, his eyebrows raised.

This update was actually a bit unexpected; he had thought it would be another event where you get equipment through a lottery.

But this time, the updated equipment actually required grinding wild mobs to drop. Interesting.

However, he soon realized a problem. This game's equipment had just been released, so how could that ID called Xue Luo get the equipment so quickly!

At this moment, in the chat room, some people also realized something was wrong.

"That's not right. This equipment was clearly just released, and it requires grinding wild mobs for drops. How did that kid manage to assemble the equipment so quickly?"

"Yeah!"

"Fuck, could that bastard be a shill?"

A shill?

Chen Cong looked at the conversation in the chat room and muttered to himself.

He hadn't seen a shill in this game for a long time. He had thought this game wouldn't arrange for shills anymore; he hadn't expected to see one appear again.

Could it be that this game company still wants to try and save this game?

If they could really restore this game to its peak, that wouldn't be too bad.

Thinking about it, he still felt a bit nostalgic for the scenes of several guilds fighting together during the peak period.

However, for a shill to try and show off in front of me right now is truly ridiculous.

I've abused more shills than I can count on both hands. Thinking this, he quickly sent a message to the chat room:

"Everyone, go grind for equipment for me. One piece of equipment, I'll transfer ten thousand."

"Received."

"Tuhao Ge, mighty!"

"Tuhao Ge, get your wallet ready, I'm ready to pull an all-nighter."

In a rental apartment,

After Jiang Jiu sent a message, he got up and went to the fridge to grab a few cans of Red Bull, placing them on the side of the table.

Ten thousand per piece of equipment.

This set of equipment, including jewelry, has ten pieces. He already planned to grind for equipment all night. Even if he didn't grind much, getting five or six pieces would mean fifty or sixty thousand yuan.

How could he possibly miss such an easy money-making opportunity?

Chen Cong looked at the actively responding guild members and smiled slightly. With money as motivation, he believed these people would definitely grind mobs to death.

If he was lucky, maybe by tomorrow he would have assembled the new equipment himself.

Even if you are a shill, I will still kill you back.

Exiting the game,

Chen Mo stretched his body, feeling refreshed. He had finally gotten his own back.

"Mr. Chen, take a look at this."

"This person looks like Attorney Tang!"

Shen Rou came to Chen Mo's side and showed him a piece of news on her phone.

Chen Mo looked over curiously.

Top Law Firm Loses Case, Ruishang Group Executives Enraged, Lead Attorney Resigns to Accept Blame?

Below the headline was an attached photo.

Although it was a bit blurry, he could still tell that the person in the photo was Attorney Tang.

Attorney Tang lost the case and resigned?

What on earth was going on?

Chen Mo looked at the text below in confusion, and after a while, he withdrew his gaze.

The main content of the article was basically about how Tang Qiu lost the case and then resigned to accept the blame.

However, because Tang Qiu was an elite lawyer at Tiandi Law Firm, and the employer was a subsidiary of Ruishang Group, which had a great influence in Jiang City.

After this loss, both Tiandi Law Firm and Ruishang Group suffered significant losses.

Looking at the comments below the article, they were also full of accusations.

"Women, who knows how she got the title of elite lawyer."

"The evidence was already so sufficient, yet she still lost the case. At the end of the day, it's just a lack of ability."

"Exactly, although I'm not an elite lawyer, if you let me handle this case, I wouldn't have lost."

"What a pity, it's said that Ruishang had to pay over a million in compensation because of this loss."

"What bad luck!"

"…"

Chen Mo frowned while looking at the comments below.

It was normal for lawyers to lose cases; every time court was in session, there would be lawyers who lost.

You could say she lacked ability, but some comments went a bit too far.

However, soon, Chen Mo's gaze fell on the comment about Ruishang paying 1 million in compensation for losing the case.

1 million.

If his own company were to get involved in some lawsuit and then lose, wouldn't that be a huge sum of money spent for nothing?

Besides, his company hadn't established a legal department yet. He could just set one up.

"Shen Rou, what is the general salary range for lawyers?"

"Lawyers' salaries fluctuate a lot. Some ordinary lawyers have an annual salary of around 100,000. Those with slightly higher seniority are around 200,000 to 300,000. Anything above that would be elite lawyers, with an annual salary of around 500,000 to 700,000. If it's even higher, then they are partners."
