Chapter 114: Investigation of Two Priests
At the same time, Super Dream R&D Department.
Li Yunhan was staring at the new Mewtwo's data and comments nervously.
Since the launch of the super dream game "The Ultimate Happiness is Building", the official has provided a large number of recommended resources, which even made Li Yunhan feel a little embarrassed.
Because even when he was in Changye Entertainment Group, he didn't have so many resources.
After all, the Mewtwo he produced in Changye Entertainment Group were all commercial Mewtwo, and their goal was to make money, so they were generally not too involved with the Silver Star Federation. Therefore, the Silver Star Federation certainly could not really interfere with the major channels and let these channel merchants provide enough recommendation resources.
But the current situation of Lishan Technology is rather special. The Mewtwo "Another Possibility" has already established a bridge with the Silver Star Federation through the Mellen Bank Group. This new Mewtwo is specially tailored for the Silver Star construction plan, so it naturally received a lot of promotion.
For the producer of Mewtwo, the more recommended resources the better, of course, but for the players it is not the same.
If Li Yunhan were to give his own evaluation, he would say that this Mewtwo is quite fun, but the current public opinion online is not very friendly.
The problem, of course, lies in the large number of recommended resources.
Obviously, this Mewtwo's forced flattery behavior has caused disgust among many players.
"Has Lishan Technology's new Chaomeng mastered the code to wealth? This is obviously an advertisement for the Silver Star Construction Plan. Isn't it too much to charge for advertising?"
"That's not true. I think this Mewtwo is quite fun. After all, there are relatively few Mewtwo like this kind of simulation business construction. Moreover, this Mewtwo has exquisite details and the gameplay is very interesting. Before I knew it, a day had passed. Even if it was just for fun, it was a very skillful way to do it."
"But the problem is that "Another Possibility" has already licked its boots once. As the development company of Mewtwo, it should have some integrity and backbone. Otherwise, if other Mewtwo development companies also lick their boots in the future, will Mewtwo still be playable?"
"I don't think it's just a matter of licking one's boots. The key is that the Silver Star Construction Plan was not a serious plan in the first place. It was nothing more than a way to cheat ordinary people out of their hard-earned money. Doesn't Lishan Technology think that the money it makes is dirty by promoting this kind of thing?"
"Be careful with your words, be careful with your words. The Silver Star construction plan cannot be discussed casually on the Internet. Be careful that the Internet monitoring team finds your home!"
"Okay, I won't say any more. Anyway, I just think there's nothing wrong with the content of this Mewtwo, but the intention is despicable. This behavior makes me feel very ashamed, so I must give it a low score. I don't plan to buy the official version of the game. When Black Mewtwo appears on the market, I will buy another copy."
There are many other negative reviews with similar content.
According to common sense, the Mewtwo in "The Ultimate Happiness is Building" is a niche Mewtwo in the simulation business category and should not have received so much attention. Most players still prefer combat and first-person Mewtwo.
If other Super Dream companies had made a Super Dream simulation business construction game, it might at most have had a certain impact in a small circle of specific player groups.
But the problem is that this new Mewtwo from Lishan Technology has received too many promotional resources and has been forcibly pushed in front of all players. Many players who don’t like this type of Mewtwo have also been forcibly recommended it.
Some people here were indeed converted into players and bought Mewtwo, but a large number of people also developed a strong rebellious and disgusted mentality because of it. They were not the target players of this kind of Mewtwo in the first place, and they were recommended to it in such a coercive way, so they were definitely going to turn from fans to haters.
Moreover, many of Lishan Technology’s former fans have turned against it.
Because for these fans, Lishan Technology was originally a new company full of ideals and beliefs. "Embers Will Die" is a good Mewtwo that can inspire the will to resist and fight. However, the next few Mewtwo released by Lishan Technology are all licking the Silver Star Federation, which is a 180-degree turn in connotation, which will obviously make the core fans feel unacceptable.
In short, the new Mewtwo is indeed very popular, but there are also many people scolding it online, and most of them are directing their criticism at Chen She.
After all, no one would blame Li Yunhan and Lin Luxi for what happened to Mewtwo. They would all think that it was definitely the boss Chen She's doing.
Li Yunhan couldn't help but sigh: "Boss Chen really has good intentions. He silently carried all these burdens on his own and endured all these bad reputations by himself."
In fact, up to now, the black Mewtwo version of Mewtwo in "The Ultimate Happiness is Building" has been almost completed, but in order to avoid suspicion, it is still necessary to wait until the regular version of Mewtwo has been sold for a period of time before it can be secretly sold through various underground channels.
Li Yunhan wanted to sell the Black Mewtwo right now, and then prove to everyone that this Mewtwo, like "Embers Are Going Out", was designed to awaken ordinary people. But he also knew that he couldn't ruin things because of a momentary impulse, so he could only wait patiently.
…
On the other side, Chen She was possessed by Grantham, preparing to welcome the two priests from the headquarters of the Knights of Time and Space.
More than half a month has passed since the last meeting at the headquarters. The major financial groups and the Space-Time Knights of the Silver Star Federation are mobilizing their troops, and Dawn City is becoming full of crises.
However, it would take a long time for both parties to complete such a large-scale transfer. Chen She did not know the location of the Spacetime Knights' headquarters, nor did he know which city the two priests were transferred from or what mode of transportation they used, so he waited for a long time before he finally arrived.
At present, the overall situation of Liming City is that it is easy to enter but difficult to exit. In other words, it is relatively easy to enter Liming City and you can sneak in easily, but it is very difficult to leave.
Although all the underground entrances were guarded by members of various corporate coalition forces, the entire underground was well connected after all, and the Knights of Time and Space had been operating underground in the city for many years, with many newly opened entrances, so the two priests still managed to enter the underground successfully.
"May the great connection of time and space guide us so that we can fulfill Master Epsilon's legacy as soon as possible."
The two priests saluted Chen She.
The two priests were named Meredith and Ferdinand. In terms of rank, they were the same as Grantham, priests of a large city in the Old Land, and they could be said to be the backbone of the entire Spacetime Knights.
Meredith is a subordinate of the blue priests and has a certain favorable impression on Grantham, while Ferdinand is a subordinate of the yellow priests and his purpose of coming this time is probably to spy.
It is obvious that the Yellow Priest is dissatisfied with Grantham's rapid promotion. Although the position of the Black Priest is vacant, the Yellow Priest must have other candidates he would like to promote.
However, the Knights of Time and Space have always only asked about the results, not the process. Grantham had already made such a great contribution, and it was difficult for the Yellow Priest to find fault with him in a hurry, so they sent Ferdinand, the priest, here. On the surface, it was to study and prepare for the next war in advance, but in fact, they also wanted to spy on the specific situation of the Dawn City branch and find some clues, so that they could do something.
Chen She also controlled Grantham to return the gifts to the two priests, and tried hard to pretend to be a charlatan.
"May the great connection of time and space guide us so that we can soon fulfill Master Epsilon's legacy. I believe that day is not too far away."
Hearing Grantham's response, the two priests couldn't help but stand in awe.
It was obvious that Grantham seemed to be more determined than them that Epsilon's goal would succeed. This kind of firm belief was a very rare and precious thing within the Knights of Time and Space.
Just like when an ordinary believer sees a fanatic, he can't help but feel a little ashamed because of the other party's fanatical belief and firm will.
The three of them could clearly see the blue space-time connection on each other, so Meredith and Ferdinand did not have any doubts about Grantham.
As long as the space-time connection is still there, it means that Grantham is still firmly on the side of the Space-Time Knights. This kind of loyalty and faith does not need to be deliberately confirmed. Anyone who has mastered the ability of synesthesia can understand it at a glance.
"You two, follow me."
As Chen She spoke, he controlled Grantham and brought the two priests to the interior of the Spacetime Knights branch.
It can be clearly felt that Meredith is a subordinate of the Blue Priests and has a certain liking for Grantham himself, so although he is also looking around at this time, his gaze is more of curiosity and appreciation.
Obviously, Meredith hopes to seek cooperation and allies on behalf of the blue priests, so she will show goodwill to Grantham as much as possible.
Ferdinand had no expression on his face. He looked around, as if he was objectively and calmly examining the various situations in Dawn City. Any flaws might be caught by Ferdinand and reported to the Yellow Priest, and become a weapon for the Yellow Priest to attack Grantham at the next meeting.
Chen She didn't pay much attention to this.
You can watch it as you like. As a priest of the Knights of Time and Space, I have a clear conscience.
After all, your high priest Epsilon lives in my brain, so even if there are any rebels, they should be you.
Currently, Gao Jingwu and other resistance fighters who play the role of followers and knights of the Knights of Time and Space are practicing hard in various corners of the branch.
Some of them were constantly improving their ability to control and master space-time creatures according to the methods taught by Grantham, while others continued to practice this ability that was on the verge of losing control, allowing themselves to exert this uncontrolled power to the maximum extent possible in battle.
There are also some resistance fighters whose bodies do not have strong synesthesia abilities, and because the original pathways have been blocked, it is impossible for them to develop synesthesia abilities and they can only continue to develop along the original pathways. At this time, they can only continue to train their bodies and improve their fighting or shooting skills.
Seeing these people, Ferdinand showed a slightly contemptuous expression on his face.
Because he could clearly see that there were not many members in the entire Dawn City branch.
These two priests also came from other big cities. They each control a branch with many members and are very powerful.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to become the confidant of top figures in the Knights of Time and Space such as the Yellow Priest and the Blue Priest .
They subconsciously compared the strength of the Liming City branch with the strength of their own branch. Naturally, they felt that the strength of the Liming City branch was a little weak, which was a certain gap from what they had expected to see.
They thought that the Liming City branch was able to kill the Silver Star envoy and repel the investigation teams of the major financial groups, and must have extremely strong combat power. But now it seems that this victory is mostly a tragic victory, and the strength of the Liming City branch has been severely consumed in the previous battle.
And considering the current strength distributed in Dawn City, it is really far-fetched to push Grantham to the position of Black Priest.
A slight smile appeared on Ferdinand's face, because he had thought of a way. As long as he reported the current situation of the Dawn City branch truthfully to Priest Huang Yi, he could greatly prevent Grantham from becoming a black priest.
The Yellow Priest can insist that although Grantham killed the Silver Star Envoy, defeated the Joint Investigation Team, made certain military achievements and had a certain influence, he did not do a good job in personnel training. The branch in Dawn City has been slow to grow and has suffered huge consumption in each battle. Therefore, considering all factors, he is not qualified to become a Black Priest and needs further observation.
Meredith obviously thought of this as well, and couldn't help but worry about Grantham.
Ferdinand smiled maliciously and said, "Raising space-time creatures has always been a necessary task for each branch. Mr. Grantham, why don't I see the space-time creatures raised by your branch?"
In Ferdinand's opinion, the Dawn City branch had many loopholes and shortcomings, and he would seize these loopholes and shortcomings to launch a fierce attack.
Space-time creatures were the first breakthrough he found.
In other branches of the Spacetime Knights, raising spacetime creatures has always been one of the important tasks.
The reason is very simple, most of the Knights of Spacetime have the power of synesthesia, and they all have the ability to control and harness the spacetime creatures. However, if the spacetime creatures are summoned from the spacetime world when fighting, the affinity between the manipulator and the spacetime creatures will not be high enough, and the battle will not be so handy.
After all, most manipulators are not strong enough to have such sophisticated knowledge of synaesthesia.
Therefore, in order to ensure the effectiveness of the battle and ensure that the space-time creatures summoned during the battle can be smoothly controlled, these branches of the Space-Time Knights will raise some space-time creatures in normal times, so that the operators can have enough affinity with the space-time creatures they match.
During the battle, this space-time creature that has been cultivated for a period of time will be easier to control and its combat effectiveness will be significantly improved.
In some special cases, if the manipulator needs to forcibly increase the combat power of the space-time creature, it is not easy to lose control if the affinity is high.
Therefore, in other branches, an area will be set aside to raise space-time creatures. There will always be several space-time creatures with level 3~4 energy fluctuations in these branches. The stronger the branch is, the higher the level of the space-time creatures will naturally be, and the more there will be.
However, although there is an area for raising space-time creatures in the Liming City branch, it is empty at this time and there are no space-time creatures at all.
Meredith frowned slightly and quickly came to the rescue, "This branch just went through a war, and the space-time creatures they raised before may have been consumed in the battle. It would be a bit too much to want to cultivate a large-scale space-time creature army in such a short time."
Ferdinand was still lingering, "But a month has passed since the last war. Even if the original space-time creatures have been consumed, Mr. Grantham should start cultivating new space-time creatures, right?"
"What has Mr. Grantham been busy with for the past month? Is he really pinning all his hopes on the support sent by the headquarters and not planning to contribute at all?"
Meredith obviously saw that Ferdinand was nitpicking, but he really didn't have any good way to refute it.
Strictly speaking, this can indeed be regarded as proof that Grantham is not doing his job well.
Meredith originally thought that in this situation Grantham could only admit his mistake, make a big deal out of a small matter, and let the matter pass. However, she didn't expect Grantham to smile slightly, and not only did he not admit his mistake, he also asked a question in return.
“If all branches do this, does that mean it’s right?”
"Raising space-time creatures requires a large amount of resources and space-time particles, and there are often cases of loss of control and riots, resulting in casualties among the branch personnel."
"The purpose of raising space-time creatures is to enable them to unleash greater power during wartime, so that operators can better develop an affinity with them."
"But if our controllers are already able to perfectly control these space-time creatures in wartime and don't need to cultivate this affinity in peacetime, then why bother wasting a lot of resources and space-time particles to raise these space-time creatures in peacetime?"
"You just apply the situation of other branches mechanically. You don't understand the specific situation of our branch, so you ask such an unprofessional question."
Ferdinand couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
He never expected that Grantham would bite back!
If Grantham admitted his mistake, he certainly couldn't ask too many questions. This was just a minor flaw and not enough to pose too much danger to Grantham.
But at this time, Grantham did not admit his mistake at all, and instead confronted him, so this was a good opportunity to take advantage of it.
Ferdinand sneered, "Mr. Grantham, you are so arrogant. The synaesthesia knowledge of the space-time world is so profound that ordinary people like us can only understand the basics in our lifetime."
"Spacetime creatures exist in the spacetime world. They are the most mysterious and unknowable existence in this world. The operator just happens to have acquired some affinity with spacetime creatures. Any unexpected situation may happen in the battle. It is very necessary and must be done to cultivate affinity with spacetime creatures in normal times."
"Does Mr. Grantham think that your affinity with space-time creatures has reached perfection? How ridiculous!"
Grantham smiled slightly, "Then how do you know that my affinity with space-time creatures is not perfect?"
