Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

After sustaining a fight with the Ghost Supreme Commander, the players also realized the gap between their abilities and the Ghost General.

Hence, a wave of intense training took over the players’ camp.

Simultaneously, many Berserkers started to exit the Mansion of the Dead into the outside world, searching for transition materials as they aspired to transition into Rune Masters.

In order to save the players’ time on the road, Lu Wu used 5,000 soul coins to create two teleportation circles, both situated at the entrance of the Ghost Mountains and the Mansion of the Dead.

At the same time, he made an announcement, notifying all the players who had completely searched the area they were in to create a teleportation circle.

This was obviously great news for the players because every time they were resurrected, heading to the Ghost Mountains to level up required a lot of time.

Of course, the teleportation circles that Lu Wu created were not free, it required the players to pay a fee of one soul coin.

Lu Wu did not expect that he managed to earn back half of the expenses he used to create the portals just after a day.

While the players were obsessed with leveling up, at the same time, the official website for Battle Online released a new column.

That was the live stream broadcasting feature that all players were looking forward to.

This allowed the players who died during the game to feast their eyes during their cooldown.

Simultaneously, in order to earn more soul coins from the players, Lu Wu imitated the other live stream broadcasters and set up a reward function.

This reward did not waste real cash, instead, it was soul coins in the game.

Lu Wu even set up six types of gifts.

They were hearts (0.1 soul coins), cake (one soul coin), ring (five soul coins), flying saucer (20 soul coins), yacht (100 soul coins) and lucky crystal (1,000 soul coins).

Of course, all the rewards from the live stream broadcast did not go into the pocket, Lu Wu would collect fifty per cent service charge from the rewards given.

This meant that these broadcasting platforms were indirectly working for Lu Wu.

The first day this feature was released, there were over a thousand live stream broadcast requests.

After being screened through, they went online and there were a lot of live stream broadcast columns appearing on the website.

There were a few unusual live streams that attracted waves of fans, such as:

‘No money for Krypton Gold: Cute girl to sustain herself by earning soul coins from live streaming’ – 390 people watching.

Each and every one of the virtual game compartments were shining, undergoing the last screening test.

All of Black Sea Technology Corporation’s higher-ups were here, anxiously observing this experiment, because they know that if this were to be a success, then they would have the advantage of swiftly dominating the market.

In the development of virtual games, time was of the essence, if you were slower than the others, then you will have limited options.

As the light indicators for all the virtual game compartments flickered green, the higher-ups of the Black Sea Corporation showed expressions of excitement.

“Congratulations, the game is a success. This batch of virtual game compartments fused together well with the nutrient solution to allow players to stay in the game for 24 hours without harming their body’s health.”

A white-haired researcher said excitedly.

As he finished his sentence, the research room was filled with cheers, as everybody started clapping.

After ensuring that there were no mistakes, the excited higher-ups had an emergency meeting.

“Since we need to put it on the market, the methods used to swiftly dominate the market is of utmost importance. What do you all think?”

There was a brief period of silence after the CEO said this, after a while, everyone started to provide their ideas and opinions.

However, most of them were about selling at low prices, so as to open the market and search for agents to sell.

At this moment, a young man sitting at the end of the table stood up and said, “Since our products focus more on serving the game, why don’t we look for game merchants, cooperate with them and use their fame as a way to expand the market? It would be a better option.”

After listening to this, everyone nodded their head in agreement.

“In order to dominate the market first, we’ll execute the proposals that you have proposed. At the same time, Xiao Li, you’re responsible for discussing with the game merchants on this. Don’t disappoint me!”

Just as the Board of Directors had made their decision, the secretary anxiously rushed in.

“Mr. Chen, our competitor Jie De just announced that they have developed the virtual game compartment during their press conference!”

After listening to this news, everyone was shocked.

The secretary took the tablet and connected it to the meeting room’s projector. In a second, the video of the press conference was shown on the screen.

“After many years of research, from today onwards, the virtual world will welcome a new age. This is because the virtual game compartment that everybody has been waiting for has been successfully developed. After multiple data tests, I can guarantee the stability of the game compartment…”

After hearing the news, it was as if a bucket of ice-cold water had been poured onto the people in the meeting room, and the previously excited atmosphere was gone.

No amount of happiness nor sadness will ever be like this.

After a period of silence, Black Sea Corporation’s CEO immediately announced to have a press conference. At the same time, all the proposed methods are to be executed immediately.

They must dominate the domestic market in the shortest time possible, they could not allow their competitors to have the opportunity. Also, they had to think of how to expand the market overseas.

The whole company was immersed in operating anxiously.

...

When the Jie De Corporation was holding their press conference, Lu Wu and Bei Li were sitting on the bed, eating their snacks in a carefree manner while watching television.

“Huh? Virtual game compartments? 24 hours of experience?”

Lu Wu was surprised when he saw this piece of news.You have to know that the only huge thing limiting gamers was potential. In order to ensure the health and safety of the gamers, he had to set a twelve-hour limitation on the game. However, upon seeing this piece of news, Lu Wu decided that an opportunity to allow the rapid development of the players’ camp in the Underworld has arrived.

At this moment, Lu Wu’s phone rang. When he answered the call, Wu Guo’s voice came from the other end of the line, “Brother Lu, look at the news, the Jie De Corporation has announced virtual game compartments! You can experience 24 hours of gaming!

“I just so happened to see it, Brother Wu, why are you so excited about?”

Wu Guoyi breathed in deeply, and said, “Just now the operation department from Jie De Corporation came to find me. They hope that we can cooperate and also promote this cooperation. I thought of your game at the first second.”

“This is a win-win situation, your game can help Jie De Corporation to expand its market overseas and Jie De Corporation could open up the domestic markets through our game. Their representative will arrive at the headquarters of Platform173 tomorrow to discuss with me. Including you, I have invited thirty other major gaming developers. You must be on time tomorrow morning!”
