Storm Live office building.
As a pleasant ringtone sounded, Jiang Ruxue answered a phone call. It was the start of the bidding war for the game.
"President Jiang, it's me… I apologize for the intrusion. I was wondering if I could discuss the streamer Ji Feng with you, or perhaps Storm Live…"
The caller was no small figure; he was also one of the bidders.
"Haha… As expected of the Tengyun Chairman. I didn't think you'd know about streamer Ji Feng. Interesting, very interesting… As for Storm Live, I have no intention of selling. This is the result of my father's and my hard work."
As the CEO of Storm Live, Jiang Ruxue naturally knew the caller's identity. Despite her displeasure, she replied politely.
"President Jiang, perhaps you've heard a story called 'The Goose That Laid the Golden Egg.' Right now, streamer Ji Feng is just such a goose. I'm sure you understand what I mean…" Suddenly, Jiang Ruxue heard a faint sound – the sound of fingers tapping on a table.
She remembered this sound. She remembered that when she was a child, whenever the company's performance surged, she would hear this sound at home. It was a silent excitement.
"President Teng, let's not beat around the bush. If our two companies cooperate, what percentage of the profit do you want?"
Tengyun's background was unfathomably deep. If they secretly acquired Storm Live, Jiang Ruxue wouldn't be able to stop them. After some thought, she made a wise decision.
"Haha, I didn't expect President Jiang to understand so quickly. Good, good… Let's leave it at that for today. It's not time to discuss profits yet. I'll contact you again when the time is right. Oh, right, Tengyun Games will be sending President Jiang a gift later." As soon as he finished speaking, the call was hung up.
"10 million point coins."
"20 million point coins."
"29 million point coins."
Putting down the phone, Jiang Ruxue suppressed the annoyance in her heart and looked up at the livestream. The title of First Sect had already been bid up to 20 million point coins.
Keep in mind that Ji Feng couldn't establish a sect yet. In other words, the advertisers were buying a promise. As for how long it would take for Ji Feng to officially establish a sect, that remained unknown.
20 million point coins was equivalent to 200,000 yuan. The current bidding price wasn't outrageous, considering some wealthy individuals could spend 1 million on alcohol in a single night…
"Didn't some idiot in the comments say only a fool would buy it? It's already reached 200,000. Who else is unconvinced?"
"Talking big on livestreams, earning millions a month. It used to be a joke, but now it's actually happening. This is what livestreaming is all about! This has really shut up all those haters."
"Haha, Brother Feng's livestream is showing an upcoming upgrade, level 3. Ten minutes of interaction, awesome…"
"Wow, all these advertisers who are rarely seen are showing up. What's with Wamei, Ye You 37? Even Baiduo Ba Keke is competing? Okamoto is here too…"
"Brother Feng has gone quiet. He's probably in a bad mood. You haters are truly as stupid as dogs…"
"Heh heh… Does anyone know why there's a wall? It's to prevent these idiots from embarrassing themselves outside. Besides saying 'May you have a good life' when asking for seeds, what else can they say?"
"They used to fawn over him like dogs, but now they're looking down on him after seeing him. Comment section gods, woof woof woof…"
As the bidding continued, the comments gradually became one-sided. The paid commenters fled in disarray, utterly defeated, while Xiao Xuanfeng dominated, leaving the enemy forces annihilated.
There were many strange nicknames for Ji Feng, such as Xiao Xuanfeng, Xiao Mifeng, Xiao Shenshi Feng, and Xiao Siji Feng.
"40 million point coins."
Just as the livestream bidding entered its final three minutes, a number suddenly appeared in everyone's eyes: 40 million point coins. Someone had raised the bid all the way to 400,000 in one go.
"Baka, who are you?"
The price being raised to 400,000 immediately drew dissatisfaction from other advertisers. At this moment, a "friend from afar" jumped out.
"Tengyun."
"Baka, what are you talking about? People should be sensible… If you feel you have the strength, I, Guilin Xiaowulang, don't mind playing with you…"
"50 million."
"Baka, I, Guilin Xiaowulang, love to deal with those who overestimate themselves. Are you forcing me to stir up a bloody storm? Don't force me…"
"60 million."
"Damn, Guilin Xiaowulang? This idiot seems to be the representative of that company from the East. This idiot doesn't even know Tengyun Games. Damn, this is going to be good."
"I am Shanxi Jiuzhi, and I only use Durex…"
"Heh heh… How dare a mere Guilin Xiaowulang act so arrogant in front of me? Chiba Liangchen will make you understand that Liangchen never speaks empty words."
"Xinjiang Jieyi, Shiheli Zimei… I've decided. My son will be named: Tangshan Yazhi."
As soon as Guilin Xiaowulang appeared, the comments became lively. This guy originally wanted to use the names of the "Three Heroes" from the Meiji Restoration, but his hand slipped, and he ended up with Guilin Xiaowulang, instantly turning himself into a joke.
"Haha, Master Ji, what's wrong?"
Although Ji Feng hadn't spoken, he had been watching the comments. Seeing some bizarre "half-Chinese, half-Japanese" names, he couldn't help but chuckle.
It was currently July in Azeroth. As the saying goes, "July brings the fiery winds." On nights like these, Pandaren would gather to cool off. They were all sitting not far from Ji Feng. Seeing him laugh inexplicably, they were all bewildered.
"It's nothing, nothing… Continue, you guys continue discussing the sect matter…"
Ji Feng replied casually and turned his attention back to the livestream.
"65 million point coins. Give Guilin Xiaowulang some face, and I will repay you handsomely in the future."
This Guilin Xiaowulang originally wanted to show off in Ji Feng's livestream, but now he realized that forcing his way through wasn't working. He honestly started to beg for mercy.
"80 million points."
"Heh... so what if you're Guilin Xiaowulang? Even if the boss showed up, it wouldn't work. We at Tengyun aren't convinced."
After Tengyun bid 80 million points, the bullet comments in the live stream room immediately halted. No one could have imagined that Tengyun Games would offer such a price. The wealthy patrons of the advertising industry are truly beyond our understanding...
"Idiot."
Seeing the number 80 million points, Guilin Xiaowulang cursed and sheepishly went offline.
At this moment, with less than 3 seconds remaining until the auction's final deadline, Tengyun Games had already won.
"Tengyun Games has gifted 100 'Campus Beauties'. Sir, your talent is immense and deserves this reward..."
"Tengyun Games has gifted 100 'Campus Beauties'. Sir, your talent is immense and deserves this reward..."
One 'Campus Beauty' costs 100,000 points. To reach 80 million points with a single gift of 100 'Campus Beauties', it would take 8 such gifts. At this moment, with Tengyun's move, the live stream room was flooded with bullet comments, creating a thunderous spectacle.
(After the fighting, let's relax a bit! The chapter on the Elven Village is only the tip of the iceberg. Illidan and Malfurion are coming up next, it's going to be exciting.)
