Chapter 122

At first, the studio only relied on scripts to do gold farming and power leveling. Later, after relying on good team management and the reputation of professional players, it began to try to transform into the direction of boss kills, dungeon strategies, guilds and PVP rankings. After experiencing several small popular games, it was considered to be effective, and it was listed as a top 100+ on a website that evaluates online game studio rankings. This is how the prefix "top" appears in the studio name. Later, Guild Leader received an invitation for a closed beta test of "World Tree: Origins". No one took it seriously at first. After all, the game was not announced and paid, and the production team was a company with no reputation and no works. It was probably a masterpiece that died instantly after it was launched, so it was just thrown aside. But White Star Fang feels that this is not appropriate. After all, the studio is in a period of growth, and their team's business plan has always been centered around the professional player Guild Leader. A lot of money has been spent on various packaging, character designs, and hype. If because of this incident, the production team of "World Tree: Origins" wrote a small essay to criticize their studio, saying that well-known professional players look down on small manufacturers and so on... Although it will not cause a big blow to their studio, it will lose fans if they should. In the future, the production teams of other manufacturers will probably consider this matter if they want to approach them for business or other matters. So White Star Fang advises Guild Leader to give it a try, and the most important thing is not to offend anyone. Since he has always made suggestions for the team, Guild Leader didn't say anything and agreed immediately. As a result, White Star Fang received a call from Guild Leader early the next morning. The other party excitedly said that from now on, all the studio's business direction will be focused on "World Tree: Origins". To this day, White Star Fang does not think this is a very appropriate idea. It's not that "World Tree: Origins" can't be popular. On the contrary, this game has reached a level of popularity that no game before has been able to match. But as an old-school online game player and studio director, White Star Fang doesn't quite believe that the game "World Tree: Origins" can bring them and the studio what they want. This game is too hard-core and too realistic. It has no guild battles, no PVP rankings, no server-wide announcements, no first kills in dungeons, and even no in-game long-distance communication, no friend system, and no main storyline... The production team presented a game that is very close to the real world, but did not add any gameplay to it that can stimulate players' desire to fight and compete. For a studio like theirs, before they have figured out how to develop, operate, and achieve results in such a game, they devote all their energy to it, without even leaving any alternatives. This is a taboo that may lead to the dissolution of the studio. This is also the shortcoming of his Guild Leader. The other party was too young, had played professionally, was capable, dared to think and fought hard, but he had never considered the options and what would happen if he failed. Even now, a few words from the NPC made his blood boil. The NPC in this game is very clever. It is clear that Lagoven Family didn't say anything, but only vaguely mentioned what was going to happen to Black Raven Port. He even stripped himself clean in the words, but he immediately rushed forward, determined to get the artifact, and completely fell into the rhythm of others. Are the artifacts in this game so easy to get? White Star Fang did not try to persuade his Guild Leader. He knew his position very well, and there were some words that he, a subordinate, should not say. Since the leader likes to be on top and leave no way out, he can only try his best to avoid accidents. But some things are bound to happen, even if we try our best to avoid them, they will still happen. Just when the three of them were setting up the ceremony at the Security Bureau, the guys from the Investigation Bureau came to the door. Chapter 127 The war started. This was not beyond White Star Fang's expectations. As early as when their studio came into contact with the Lagoven Family and thus got into trouble with the Investigation Bureau, the group of dog-like NPCs had been staring at them. White Star Fang speculates that the few studio members they have missed have always been surrounded by the Investigation Bureau's spies. After the two idiots massacred here, Investigation Bureau's troops had already been dispatched, and now they arrived just as his ceremony was about to be completed. "You two stop them!" Without any nonsense, the studio member with the game name White Star Potato Chips and Highland Race player White Star Little Jiu, holding a bayonet, faced the investigator in black windbreaker. The investigators of Leicester Investigation Bureau basically work in pairs, so White Star Fang is not worried that his two teammates will be killed quickly. This time was enough for him to complete the ceremony. White Star Fang recited the incantation silently, and the scroll in his hand slowly melted like burning wax. Next to him are Ritual Array painted in blood, with several NPCs lying inside, all of them still breathing, and used as final sacrifices; and in the outer circle are Peacekeepers that have died long ago. They are no longer valuable. After the ceremony, they can be considered to be transformed into living corpses or something like that, which can barely be used as combat power. Above the head of White Star Fang, there was a crack that tore the void, and gray mist continued to overflow from it until it enveloped the entire Old Town. When White Star Fang's incantation reached the last part, an inhuman roar suddenly came from the crack in the void above his head. Tentacles of flesh and blood, covered with mucus, and full of barbs stretched out from the cracks, wrapped around several sacrifices very quickly, and then quickly retracted, pulling these NPCs into the cracks. The crack closed immediately, but White Star Fang then heard the sound of bones breaking and muscles squeezing. This extremely realistic chewing sound made him feel slightly uncomfortable. Why is this damn game so realistic? At this point, the ceremony is complete. But before White Star Fang could breathe a sigh of relief, a huge roar came from outside, and a large gap opened in the solid wall of the Public Security Bureau. There is something special about choosing this location as the ceremony location. It is located far away from the Investigation Bureau in Old Town. It is also the safest and most stable place in Old Town. It has the strongest buildings and is suitable for defensive battles. But now this idea is obviously unrealistic. White Star Fang looked at the gap, and the fight between the other two and the Investigation Bureau investigator also stopped to avoid being attacked by a third party during the fight. As the dust and mist outside the wall slowly drifted away, the scene behind the gap was also revealed. "Tsk, tsk, keep fighting. How can you pick up our heads if you don't hit us." A slightly arrogant voice sounded, and then White Star Fang saw a player with short yellow hair standing in the rainy night. What made White Star Fang feel uneasy was that there was a group of players standing behind him, at least more than twenty people. "Yan Zhuofeng!" White Star Fang directly called out the real name of little Yellow Hair, "Are you so determined to offend us?" Yan Zhuofeng, whose commonly used nickname in games is usually Traitorous Minister or Dog Killer* Studio, is a lone wolf player who is well-known in the online game circle. Because his gaming skills are good, but at the same time he always looks down on the studio. Every time he plays a game, he has to fight against the studio or professional guild. He often creates obstacles for major studios, so he is deeply respected by ordinary lone wolf players. Now that White Star Fang bumped into each other, they could only secretly curse their bad luck. "Kneel down for you, Master Luan, and I'll leave right away." Yellow Hair chuckled, and the players behind him also followed suit. In fact, these players are just here to have fun. It would be even better if they are lucky enough to get some bargains. While the scene was in a stalemate, the two investigators from the Investigation Bureau seemed to notice that something was wrong with the number of people. They looked at each other and quickly ran away. White Star Fang ignored him
