Chapter 84: Five more rounds of practice, the European Emperor is the best

Chen Mo frowned and thought for a moment, then continued to speak.

“Well, it’s not just the cafeteria that needs a raise; other departments also need raises. For those who have worked for more than a month, and for leaders at or above the team leader level, everyone gets a 1000 raise. Other grassroots employees get a 500 raise.”

“Hmm, it’s decided then. You go back and tally it up. This raise policy also includes Snowy Sky Games.”

“O-Okay, General Manager Chen.”

Shen Rou was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded.

Li Shen and Wang Maonian also opened their mouths in shock; they were getting a raise just like that.

For other good companies, it’s already great if they give you a raise once a year, but here with General Manager Chen, they get a raise in just one month.

Chen Mo ignored their shocked expressions and began to eat, finally spending what Li Shen had earned, which significantly improved his appetite.

It was just a pity; he had originally wanted to give raises to the newly hired employees as well, but the system reminded him that employees who had worked for less than a month were not eligible for a raise unless they had special talents.

What a shame.

Otherwise, he could have spent even more.

Soon, lunch was over.

Chen Mo was about to get up and leave when he suddenly remembered something he had almost forgotten. In front of Wang Maonian, he said to Shen Rou:

“The sports meet is in a few days. Let’s increase the morning run. Starting tomorrow, we’ll run 15 laps.”

After speaking,

He turned and left directly, glancing at Wang Maonian subtly as he turned.

You said you had the stamina to make lunchboxes, so I’ll make you run five more laps.

Watching General Manager Chen leave.

Wang Maonian sat on his seat, looking utterly dejected. He had just gotten used to the rhythm of running ten laps, so why did it suddenly increase by five laps?

Li Shen also sat silently beside him. He was stronger than Wang Maonian; after a long period of morning run training, running ten laps was no problem for him now.

But the key was, if one could rest, who would want to run!

Alas!

……….

Inside a certain rented room,

A disheveled man was frantically operating a computer, his eyes bloodshot and filled with red streaks. Occasionally, he would pick up a Red Bull from the table and take a sip.

After an unknown amount of time,

The man suddenly slammed the keyboard, seemingly having seen something incredible, and leaned his head closer to the computer screen to examine it carefully.

Then,

He burst into loud laughter.

“It dropped! Half a month, and it finally dropped!”

Jiang Jiu looked at the equipment on the computer screen and shouted excitedly.

He had been grinding monsters in this game for half a month, and today, a new piece of equipment finally dropped.

After a moment of happiness,

Jiang Jiu proudly sent a screenshot of the equipment to the guild chat.

Soon, people started replying.

“Holy cow, isn’t that new equipment?!”

“Damn it, I’ve been grinding for half a month, at least ten hours a day, and haven’t gotten a single drop.”

“As expected of Gan Jiu Di, he’s the first in the guild to get a new equipment drop!”

“He’s a European Emperor, definitely a European Emperor.”

“Let me absorb some of that European luck.”

“……”

Jiang Jiu looked at the replies in the chat room and smiled contentedly.

However, after seeing the words “European Emperor,” he sobered up.

At first, to get the equipment, he hadn’t slept for two days and two nights. On the third day, he couldn’t hold on anymore and finally started sleeping, but only about four hours a day.

Just like that,

He had grinded for a full half month before a single piece of equipment dropped.

Could this really be considered a European Emperor?

Jiang Jiu looked at his unkempt appearance, having not had a Shower for half a month, and fell into deep self-doubt.

However, since the equipment dropped, it was time to cash it in.

Thinking of this,

He quickly took out his phone and made a call.

The call connected.

Jiang Jiu spoke impatiently.

“Brother Hao, I got an equipment drop!”

“How many pieces dropped?”

“Only one.”

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before a voice came through.

“Get in the game and trade the equipment to me.”

“Okay, Brother Hao.”

…….

Inside a luxurious villa.

Chen Cong hung up the phone, walked to his computer, and logged into the game.

After some operations,

The equipment that Jiang Jiu had gotten was now worn by his game character; it was a pair of shoes.

This was the first new piece of equipment he had acquired in half a month.

He had originally thought he could collect all the equipment in a day or two.

After all, not only were people in the guild grinding for equipment, but he had also contacted people from a studio.

But half a month had passed, and the studio had no progress; the first to get an equipment drop was actually Jiang Jiu.

He wondered what was happening with the studio.

After thinking for a moment, he made a call.

The call connected,

Before he could speak, a voice came from the other end.

“Brother Hao, I was just about to call you.”

“What’s going on?”

Chen Cong frowned and asked, listening to the words on the phone.

“Brother Hao, I’m afraid I can’t take on this job.”

Mei Youqian said with a mournful face. At first, everyone in his entire studio went to grind for equipment in Tianlong, but after 5 consecutive days of grinding, not a single piece of equipment dropped.

A studio couldn’t have no income every day.

So he pulled half the people to do other things.

The remaining half grinded for a few more days, and still no equipment dropped.

So he pulled another half to do other work, and that continued until now, and still not a single piece of equipment had dropped.

There was no other way.

He was just about to explain the situation to Chen Cong when Chen Cong called him first.

“Why can’t you take it? Is it about money?”

“Brother Hao, it’s not about money at all. The key is that the equipment drop rate is simply too low.”

“At first, my studio had everyone grinding for five days, and not a single piece dropped.”

“Brother Hao, I’m really sorry about this time. However, I have many game groups, studio groups, and some game forums. I can help you put out an advertisement.”

Chen Cong’s expression was somewhat surprised as he listened to Mei Youqian’s explanation.

He knew the equipment drop rate was very low, but he hadn’t expected it to be so low that even a studio couldn’t get any drops.

However, he still needed to save face, so he couldn’t just let it go.

After thinking for a moment, he said,

“Then help me put out more advertisements. The more people who know, the better. Anyone who gets a new equipment drop, I’ll buy it for 30,000.”

Since quality wasn’t working, he would win by quantity.

Chen Cong thought to himself, then opened his phone and directly transferred 50,000 yuan to Jiang Jiu.

This Jiang Jiu truly lived up to his title of Gan Jiu Di; he actually got an equipment drop that even a studio couldn’t get.

He would transfer him a bit more, so he would work harder.

……….

Youqian Studio.

Mei Youqian hung up the phone, thought for a moment, and then called all the people in the studio over.

“Starting today, the mission to grind for equipment in Tianlong is canceled.”

“However, you can contact others to help you get equipment, like friends, classmates, game groups, etc. Send out more advertisements.”

“I’ll buy a piece of equipment for 20,000 here; you can decide how much you want to pay for it yourselves.”

After explaining these matters,

Mei Youqian went to his computer and entered the chat software.
