Longdu, Black Sea Technology Company headquarters.

At this moment, everyone sitting in the conference room had solemn expressions, looking preoccupied.

"We were still a step behind. The more influential game companies in the country have already reached mutual promotion agreements with Jiede. Let's discuss what to do." Wu Li, sitting in the main seat, glanced at everyone present and spoke.

The higher-ups of Black Sea Company never expected that Jie De Corporation would move so quickly.

While holding the press conference, their representatives had already begun traveling between various cities in Dragon Country, snatching away most of the game companies' cooperative promotion projects. Thinking that years of research and effort might be in a difficult situation due to this impact, everyone present felt bad.

"President Wu, according to the news, there is still one relatively strong game company that has not reached an agreement with Jiede, and it is said that they actively rejected Jiede Technology."

"One?" Wu Li, sitting in the main seat, sighed.

"It's better than nothing. Go negotiate and see if we can get cooperation. Try to meet their requirements."

Although he felt helpless, Wu Li did not intend to let go of this cooperation opportunity.

After the meeting, Black Sea Company headquarters quickly contacted Lu Wu through the Platform173.

Originally, the person in charge of Black Sea Company was going to come over to discuss, but Lu Wu declined, only asking one question.

"Is there a fee for cooperation?"

The person in charge of Black Sea Company was very surprised, not understanding why Lu Wu would ask this, but still decisively replied:

"Promotion is for win-win cooperation, so naturally there is no fee. At the same time, our Game Pod has implanted your company's game. That is to say, as long as players buy our Game Pod, even if they don't download it, your company's game will be in the game list."

Hearing the answer, Lu Wu immediately agreed to the cooperation request, which made the person in charge of Black Sea Company a little confused, not expecting the progress to be so easy.

At the same time, Lu Wu also promised the Black Sea Company representative that they would promote and advertise for them in the game when they officially launched the Game Pod.

The next day, Lu Wu received the promotion cooperation contract sent by Black Sea Company.

After carefully reading it and confirming that it was correct, Lu Wu signed it, kept a copy, and sent it back to Black Sea Company. The cooperation between the two sides was officially reached.

However, the news of Lu Wu's cooperation with Black Sea Company quickly reached the ears of Olisa, the representative of Jie De Corporation.

This made Olisa, who was in charge of the promotion cooperation project, very surprised. He did not expect that the person who rejected his request would cooperate with Black Sea Company.

He immediately reported the news back to the headquarters in Country A.

Jiede Technology Company never showed mercy to business opponents, and immediately decided to block the game "Battle Online" in its own Game Pod.

In other words, as long as it was a Game Pod produced by Black Sea Technology Company, it would not be able to download "Battle Online".

In Jie De Corporation's view, with so many game companies to choose from, players would definitely make the right choice.

At this time, the Netherworld.

"Greetings, my King!" Du Yan respectfully bowed to the figure not far away.

"Why have you returned? Didn't I tell you to stay by Cha Na's side?" The figure of the King of Beiqi, condensed by Lu Wu, asked faintly.

"This subordinate had no choice but to return. Cha Na has already discovered that I have ulterior motives. If I continue to stay by his side, this subordinate will surely die!"

"Oh? Why?" Lu Wu asked in surprise.

"Previously, this subordinate followed your Majesty's order and returned to Ghost General Cha Na's side. First, I used the branches of the Treant to deceive him about the cause of Third Ghost's death. Later, he asked me to reply to Sea King about the tribute matter, but I informed Sea King that Ghost General Cha Na had rejected his request."

"This angered Sea King, who immediately attacked with a tide of sea beasts. At that time, this subordinate knew that I would be exposed and had to leave!"

Hearing this, Lu Wu immediately thought of the seaside battle that the players had streamed that day, but he did not expect that the reason for all this was actually manipulated by Du Yan.

"By the way, this subordinate also brought this before coming!"

As he spoke, Du Yan stretched out his hand from his black robe, revealing the black ball he was holding.

Lu Wu was a little puzzled, waved his hand, and Netherworld energy condensed, lifting the black ball in front of him.

The artifact's analysis ability was activated.

[Yin Soul Pearl]: 230119 Yin Souls Item Details: An item for storing Yin Souls

"Your subordinate was in charge of managing the Yin Souls in the Liuli District, so before leaving, I brought all the Yin Souls that Cha Na Ghost General possessed with me."

This betrayal is thorough enough. He even stabbed his former master in the back before leaving. What a scheming old bastard, but I like it.

Lu Wu's face revealed a smile: "Du Yan, you've done very well!"

As he spoke, Lu Wu waved his hand, and a mass of Soul Power surged out from his sleeve, drilling into Du Yan's body.

"Boom!"

This Soul Power was like a combustion accelerant, causing the Soul Fire in Du Yan's head to surge violently, its color slowly changing from green to scarlet.

It could be clearly seen that Du Yan's pitch-black bones began to thicken, and a little bit of crystalline dark green appeared.

"This..." Du Yan was shocked.

Having lived for thousands of years, this was the first time he had seen such a method, being able to manipulate Soul Power and directly raise his strength by half a realm.

Looking at Lu Wu again, Du Yan knelt on the ground with a thud, kowtowing to him: "Thank you for your grace, my King!"

Lu Wu nodded. In fact, improving Du Yan's strength was not difficult for him.

This was different from players.

Players' growth required step-by-step accumulation, gradual progress, like digging a ditch, turning it into a pond, and then into a lake, which had to be done step by step. But Du Yan was an existence who had cultivated for thousands of years. His foundation was solid, and he was just adding water to his pond.

But even so, in Du Yan's view, this was an incredible, earth-shattering method.

This improvement made Du Yan have a deeper understanding of Lu Wu's mystery, and he even felt a little gleeful in his heart that his betrayal was so correct.

However, although Du Yan had returned this time, Lu Wu did not intend to keep him in the Netherworld. He immediately said:

"Du Yan, I have a task for you."

"Please speak, my King. Your subordinate will definitely go all out." Du Yan respectfully said.

"Go and join the Rock Ghost King!"

"This..." Du Yan was stunned.

"Does my King want me to provoke the relationship between the Rock Ghost King and Cha Na Ghost General?" Du Yan thought for a while and asked doubtfully.

"That's one thing, but I will take care of Cha Na's side. The main thing is for you to understand the current situation of the Bedrock Northern Region, master it, and report it to me."

"But will the Rock Ghost King trust me?" Du Yan hesitated.

"Take this!" As he spoke, Lu Wu waved his hand and used the artifact to draw out 150,000 Yin Souls from the Yin Soul Pearl, leaving 80,000 and handing it back to Du Yan.

Taking the Yin Soul Pearl, Du Yan nodded solemnly this time: "Your subordinate will definitely not fail his mission!"

After speaking, Du Yan turned into a black shadow and quickly escaped from the Netherworld, heading towards the Bedrock Northern Region.
