Liuli District.

Upon the Skeletal Throne, Cha Na stared grimly at the northern mountains, his fists gradually clenching.

He never expected that Du Yan would betray him, and what chilled him even more was that Du Yan had taken away all of his Yin Souls.

Now he was completely trapped.

Firstly, he had already promised the Sea King to offer 200,000 Yin Souls. Secondly, his strength was about to break through to the Ghost King Realm, and this batch of Yin Souls was one of the keys to his breakthrough.

But now, everything was gone.

Thinking of the news brought back by the envoy he sent, that Du Yan had defected to the Rock Ghost King and offered all of his Yin Souls, flames rose in Cha Na's eyes.

On one side was the Sea King, and on the other was the Rock Ghost King. Both sides were stronger than him, and his original confident breakthrough was also suppressed, which made Cha Na not know what to do next.

"Lord Cha Na, since the Liuli District is very unsafe being caught in the middle, why don't we change camps and go to the Netherworld to take refuge first, and then make plans after you break through to the Ghost King Realm?"

Hearing this, Cha Na was stunned. After thinking about it carefully, this method was indeed feasible.

Although the Netherworld did not have the resources of the Liuli District, it was far away from the Underworld Sea. He didn't believe that the Sea King would chase him all the way from the Liuli District to the Netherworld to ask for the 200,000 Yin Souls.

But then Cha Na frowned: "Then what about the Yin Soul Pool in the Liuli District? We can't just abandon it!"

This Yin Soul Pool was the birthplace of Yin Souls. It had always been managed by Du Yan before, and the Yin Souls born inside every year were necessary for Cha Na's cultivation. He was unwilling to give it up.

The Soul Hooking Envoy sighed when he heard this: "Lord Cha Na, what time is it? Only you breaking through to the Ghost King Realm can gain a voice in this Beiqi land. Otherwise, the consequences may be terrible if the Sea King arrives next time and we can't produce the promised Yin Souls!"

The Soul Hooking Envoy's analysis made a haze appear in Cha Na's eyes. Finally, he gritted his teeth: "Order to take all the supplies that can be taken. Ten days later, go to the Netherworld!"

On the second day after the hidden class Sun Chasing Archer was opened, many NPCs appeared near the Netherworld.

The addition of these NPCs was also created by Lu Wu to enrich the gameplay.

Among them, the most popular were the chubby Dark Cuisine Chef and the goatee old man who taught players how to make poison with various herbs.

Especially the appearance of the chubby chef allowed many players to taste the taste experiences that they did not have in the world of the living.

Although players often used poisonous Underworld materials to make food and were poisoned to death under the dark cuisine, this was nothing to many foodies.

Even heavy-tasting players brought Corpse Wolf and Corpse Elephant legs for the chubby chef to make. It can be said that the appearance of the chubby chef was the biggest benefit for foodie players.

After the appearance of the chubby chef, players also had an extra fun, which was to find edible materials. Regardless of whether they were poisonous or not, they would make them into food and eat them happily before the 12-hour game time arrived.

Relying on the high degree of realism, eating in the Underworld had 100% authenticity, which once again captured the hearts of a group of players.

Players with keen business acumen even opened live food broadcast rooms.

A foodie player in the forum, like Shennong tasting herbs, wrote a "Dark Gourmet Record" after experiencing death time after time.

It described the materials found in the area near the Netherworld and how to match them to make very delicious food when handed over to the chubby chef.

But if you want to say which NPC is the most popular, it is still the novice village chief Lu Mo.

Lu Mo was the first NPC that players came into contact with. From his mouth, players learned that this magnificent and bizarre Underworld had so many wonderful things waiting for them to explore.

It can be said that Lu Mo popularized the blank knowledge of this world for novice players.

And Lu Mo's character was very easy-going, often talking to players and patiently listening to the bitterness in their hearts. In terms of emotion, he was more like a big brother next door than a false existence, so Lu Mo was recognized by players as the number one popular NPC.

On this day, Lu Wu received a call from Wu Guoyi, telling him that the one-month selection was officially over.

As all players thought,

Battle Online

was far ahead of all games with its votes.

This dark horse was beyond many people's expectations. However, after experiencing the game, this expectation turned into amazement and praise.

Even Li Tianxia himself was completely captured after experiencing

Battle Online

and became a major force in the game, the vice president of the Avengers Alliance.

After the results of this selection came out, Wu Guoyi hoped in the phone call that Lu Wu would start considering the issue of the game's theme song, and he could look for him if he had any difficulties.

Lu Wu was indeed considering this.

However, it really gave him a headache to invite which traffic star to sing and who to produce the theme song.

He had also asked Bei Li hopefully.

But he was greeted with Bei Li's look as if he were an idiot:

"I only know how to research and develop, I can't sing, and I can't compose music!"

Helpless, Lu Wu could only throw the problem to Wu Guoyi.

Wu Guoyi didn't mind at all and readily agreed. At the same time, he said that he would recommend a few celebrities to him for selection. As for the theme song of the game, he would also ask a professional master to produce it.

As for the cost, he naturally wouldn't let Wu Guoyi help pay for it.

Now that the game is on the right track, there are plenty of ways to make money. Recently, Lu Wu plans to open the fashion function.

The existence of fashion will not improve any player's strength, but for the sake of beauty, he thinks that many beauty-loving players will be willing to spend the money. This is also the only item in the game that can be purchased by recharging.

As the fame of Battle Online is growing in the Platform173, this makes the heads of other game platforms unable to sit still.

They used various channels to infiltrate the internal employees of 173 and inquired about Lu Wu's contact information.

Now Lu Wu can receive dozens of calls a day, all from other game platforms hoping to put Battle Online on their platform and seek promotion cooperation.

Lu Wu undoubtedly declined all of this.

Of course, Lu Wu did not completely refuse, after all, he and Wu Guoyi had an agreement that the Platform173 had two months of exclusive promotion for Battle Online.

Wu Guoyi has helped him a lot, so he naturally couldn't break his promise.

As for two months later, that will be the moment when Battle Online completely makes a name for itself.
