Chapter 300 Meeting
I opened the game forum software, but before I entered, a five-second advertisement suddenly popped up.
【I WANT YOU】
A big poster with the image of four-season rice in the middle.
He was well-equipped, looking forward, with his finger extended, as if pointing at everyone outside the screen.
"Damn, this guy actually bought the space for the splash screen advertisement. How much does that cost?" Li Sihua took a breath and said with his eyes wide open.
"Why does this poster give me a sense of déjà vu?" He Lie said with a frown.
"Isn't this the poster that Amei used to recruit soldiers during World War II?" His brother He Ju recognized it, "Si Ji Dao is a great plagiarist."
"Amei's poster was also copied."
The head of the department, Yu Wenshuxue, had some knowledge of history and gave a reminder.
Li Defu said: "It may not be the money given by Sijidao. I heard that the guy named Lu Jiaozhu is a second-generation rich man. His family is so poor that they only have money left. Even the mattress is made of money."
"What? Piling up money to make a mattress? Is this the life of rich people?" Li Sihua was shocked.
"Will it be uncomfortable to sleep?"
“It is said that rich people even use gold-plated toilet paper.”
"Damn, what kind of rich person is this? I'm going to apply for a sewer cleaning job..."
“…”
A few brothers in the dormitory were chatting about something, and no one knew where the topic went.
A few poor guys have been poor for half their lives and can only imagine the lives of rich people through various movies and TV dramas, just like the poor people in ancient times imagined that the emperor used a golden hoe.
I have to say that the splash screen advertisement of Sijidao was well worth buying. After all, the traffic of Blizzard Game Forum has already ranked first among similar apps.
No one knows how much money was spent and can only guess.
By clicking on the advertising link, you will be redirected to a sub-page created by Four Seasons Rice.
[Coral City official organization is actively recruiting new members...]
【Masters from various industries invite you to join the journey of exploration...】
【……】
"Four Seasons Rice not only invited his teacher this time, but also invited masters from other industries." Li Defu said worriedly, "Logically speaking, these masters are of noble status, even the mechanical race should give them some face... If we force them to come, they will be dissatisfied even if they come. Four Seasons Rice must have spent a lot of money."
When you click on the second jump link, the first picture that pops up is Sijidao’s teacher.
The old pharmacist was holding a dark green potion bottle, wearing a plain grey robe and a tall pharmacist hat. The potion in the bottle was bubbling, and the background behind him was the pharmacy.
[Level 5 Pharmacist Mentor, You Deserve It]
This is the first sentence under the picture.
This is followed by an introduction to the identity of this old pharmacist.
"This old pharmacist is so unlucky that he actually met an apprentice like Sijidao. He can't live in peace in his old age and is forced to be involved in this dispute."
Su Xia learned these days that Sijidao's teacher had already been in semi-retirement and didn't want to get involved in these matters at all.
But when you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
Just as Yu Tuo had said to Su Xia before, the identity of a pharmacist is indeed noble, but this nobility is given by others.
In the face of powerful power, a distinguished pharmacist is nothing.
"Not only his teacher, but also several other fourth-level pharmacists in the city have been invited by Sijidao." Li Defu said, "When they join forces, their strength in pharmacy alone exceeds ours."
"Brother Su, what do you think?"
"What else can we do?" Su Xia shrugged. "He spends his money and we make ours. We don't delay either of us."
"Aren't we going to fight for it?" Li Sihua asked.
"No, just hold on for now."
Su Xia shook his head and said calmly, "Four Seasons Rice's goal is to drag us into some kind of competition, and then use his strong financial resources to drag us down, causing internal strife, and finally collapse on our own, disintegrating from within, and no longer posing a threat to him."
Hearing this, the other brothers in the dormitory suddenly realized that this trick was very familiar and seemed to have been used by someone before.
In fact, it was the Four Seasons Rice side that was actively instigating the conflict from the beginning to the end.
If they really fall into the trap and actively compete with Four Seasons Rice in all aspects, they will be at a disadvantage, be led by the nose, and finally disintegrate step by step.
"We must remember our roots." Su Xia said solemnly, "In the beginning, the alliance was formed because Sijidao wanted to overturn the table and uproot the temporary stronghold in the entire wilderness. Our original intention was to resist."
"Yes, it was this philosophy that brought us together in the first place. We must not forget this philosophy."
The director of the department, Yu Wenshuxue, nodded and agreed with it.
Li Sihua praised: "Brother Su is right, you are indeed a cultured person."
“So reading more is still useful!”
"Just now, I almost couldn't help wanting to compete head-on with that Sijidao guy. I even forgot why the alliance was established..."
The brothers in the dormitory reflected on themselves.
Sijidao was indeed too insidious, using all kinds of shady tricks one after another, and they almost fell into his trap. He was indeed an expert in the game who had been in the game for more than ten years.
You know, more than ten years ago, when Sijidao was stirring up the game, the brothers were still in elementary school.
Sometimes, age and life experience are indeed a kind of asset.
Right now, what they need to do first is not to compete head-on with Four Seasons Rice, but to sort out the situation within the resistance alliance, sort out all aspects of the situation, and then slowly resolve various hidden dangers.
The alliance seems huge, but it has many internal problems.
"Although we have won several times with great fanfare, if we are not careful, the entire alliance will collapse." Director Yu Wenshuxue sighed, "If Brother Su was not busy refining medicine every day, I would really like to ask you to help manage it together."
"It's better not to..."
Su Xia’s biggest headache is management, and being able to be a hands-off boss is the most comfortable thing.
After discussing the issue of four-season rice, everyone felt a lot more relaxed.
On the way out of the school gate, they met a few fans who wanted to take photos with them. They did not refuse and happily took photos with them.
This was the first time the six of them wore formal attire together, and no one knew when the next time would be.
"By the way, should we take a taxi or the subway?" Li Sihua asked.
"The game company has a car waiting outside." said the director Yu Wenshuxue.
"ha?"
"Are we also the ones being picked up by a special car?"
"Of course..."
The six people walked out of the dilapidated old school gate. Outside the school gate, there were several Blizzard's special cars parked with the game company's logo printed on them.
The students passing by looked at this place curiously, some raised their mobile phones to take pictures, and some recognized the six brothers who had just walked out of the school gate.
After verifying their identities, all six people got on the car.
Su Xia and Li Defu sat in the first car, the other four brothers sat in the second car, and there were two more cars in front and behind for escort.
This kind of treatment amazed several roommates, who lamented that this was a treatment only for VIPs and kept taking pictures of the car's interior.
“Buzz——”
The engine started, the world in the rearview mirror became farther and farther away, and the street scene outside the car window began to recede.
The driver turned on the car's in-car system, opened the music player, played "Due North", and then stepped on the accelerator to accelerate.
The person in charge of welcoming everyone was a beautiful woman in her thirties named Li Yun.
Li Defu is a very talkative guy. He kept calling Li Yun "beautiful sister" in the car, which made Li Yun laugh.
"Sister, is this interview going to be broadcast worldwide?" Li Defu asked.
"Yes, are you nervous?" Li Yun chuckled, her charm still there, and every move she made showed the intellectual beauty of a mature woman.
"I was nervous for sure. I've never been interviewed like this before."
Li Defu looked honest, and then changed the subject: "But if my sister was next to me, I wouldn't be so nervous."
"Okay, sister will definitely be watching you."
"hey-hey……"
I don’t know what got Li Defu into this mood. He chatted with Li Yun all the way without repeating any topics.
Su Xia kept her eyes closed and relaxed by listening to the music playing in the car.
There are many things to come.
Once he reveals his identity as the Masked Man, there will definitely be a bloody storm in the southwestern region of the continent. It is unknown when there will be time to relax like now.
At around 1:30 p.m., everyone arrived at the Blizzard branch building in the city center.
As soon as he got off the car, Su Xia felt a strong gaming atmosphere.
Outside the building is a large square. The large screen in the square plays game content 24 hours a day, attracting many passing children to watch.
On the right side of the square, there is a small children's playground with a game theme, which is open to the public free of charge all the time.
"Pharmacist Su!"
"It's Pharmacist Su, they're here!"
"Pharmacist Su, I love you!"
Suddenly, there was an excited shout from the front.
Su Xia looked over and saw a large group of people gathered in front of the company.
Some people were holding signs, some were waving their hands, some were holding their cell phones. The atmosphere was very lively and exciting, especially after seeing them get off the bus. The warm atmosphere instantly reached its climax.
Many people were so excited that their faces flushed. They were so excited that they looked like red apples in the cold winter wind, shouting the names of Su Xia and others.
Li Yun chuckled and said, "They are your fans. The company has done some publicity before, and they all know that you are coming for an interview today ."
“So many people?”
Seeing the huge crowd of fans, many of whom were holding up signs with his name on them, Su Xia inexplicably felt a sense of suffocation.
Breathing suddenly became difficult, as if even the trachea was constricted.
Li Defu hurriedly supported him and said with a smile: "Brother Su likes quietness and doesn't like crowded occasions, especially those that are particularly enthusiastic."
"Ah? So that's the case. It's our fault for not thinking this through." Li Yun looked apologetic and apologized quickly.
"It's okay, Brother Su can handle it."
Li Defu patted his shoulder and took Su Xia forward.
In another car, the head of the department, Yu Wen Shuxue, and several other roommates also got out.
Seeing the large group of excited fans at the company's entrance, Li Sihua took a deep breath and then said in surprise: "A top game anchor is just like this, right? Have we come this far?"
Li Yun smiled and said, "During the Chinese New Year, the company will hold a carnival event, and there will be more at that time."
"Fuck, I actually have a name!"
Li Sihua searched for a while among the excited crowd and finally saw someone holding a sign with his name in a corner.
"Everyone, go this way."
Led by the company's guide, several people in the dormitory walked into a dedicated passage, which was separated by low metal fences on both sides.
Outside the fence were countless excited and enthusiastic fans, some holding up their mobile phones to record the moment, some extending a hand and trying to shake hands with everyone.
The roommates were all very outgoing and quickly adapted to this situation. They communicated enthusiastically with the fans and soon received several large bouquets of flowers.
Su Xia could barely cope with it. After some time of training in the game, she was much better than before.
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the communication with fans finally ended.
The moment she walked into the company building, Su Xia breathed a sigh of relief.
"call……"
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, and the clothes on his back were quite wet.
He would rather fight Yu Tuo ten times than experience this kind of scene again. It was really torture and every second felt like a year.
If he hadn't taken his roommates' feelings into consideration, he definitely wouldn't have come this time.
After entering the company, the following arrangements were simple, nothing more than another welcome ceremony, chatting, communication, handshakes and the like.
Su Xia and his friends met the head of the gaming branch.
The person in charge was very young, probably in his early forties, mature and steady, with a gentle smile on his face. He personally asked them about their feelings about the game.
"Is this game really independently developed by our domestic company?" Upon seeing the branch manager, Li Defu finally asked the question that had puzzled him for a long time.
It is really hard to imagine that domestic game companies can suddenly produce such a world-class game with their capabilities.
The person in charge smiled and nodded, indicating that there was no foreign interference in the game "Look Up at the Stars".
"It's so real. How can it be so real?" Li Defu asked again.
"Perhaps these questions can be saved for the interview later." The person in charge kept everyone in suspense and smiled without answering, leaving everyone on suspense.
After the explanation, the brothers realized that this was not a simple interview, but a face-to-face program.
They don't just answer the questions, you can ask questions later.
The person in charge gave them a list of questions and asked them to prepare: "The questions you will be asked will be selected from these. Take a look first."
"Ah? Do you want to read the script first?" Li Defu was surprised.
"Um."
The person in charge smiled and said, "For the sake of the show effect, please understand."
"Understand, we understand."
None of the brothers are rigid people. They had heard that domestic programs all have scripts, but they didn’t expect to experience it themselves today.
This is not a complete script, it just gives them the questions and allows them to prepare in advance.
Li Defu glanced at the questions on the list, his eyebrows raised, and he became interested. He said to Su Xia, "Hey, Brother Su, look, the first question is whether you have a girlfriend."
Su Xia: “…”
This is a game show, why ask this kind of questions?
…
At the same time, several black cars slowly stopped on the street outside the company building.
A handsome young man got out of the car, narrowed his eyes, glanced at the company's gate, shook his head and said, "We are a step too late. Pharmacist Su and the others have already gone in."
"Hey, I still want to give them a surprise, but I can only wait until their interview is over."
Another young man got out of the car, facing the lazy sun, and stretched on the spot.
Looking at their appearance, they are very similar to "Bing Lei" and "North" in the game.
Compared to the game, they look younger and more energetic in real life.
“Crack!”
The door of the third car opened.
A sunny and handsome young man who looked exactly like the "Broken Sword" in the game also came down and said with a smile: "I don't know how long it will take for the interview to end. This is my first time in Jincheng. How about we go to the school of Pharmacist Su and his friends?"
"Sure." Bing Lei agreed, "But where is Pharmacist Su's school?"
"Chenghua District, Erxian Bridge."
North opened his phone and checked the address.
Bing Lei was shocked: "What? Is there really such a place as Erxian Bridge? I thought it was just an internet meme."
"Nonsense, of course there is such a place. The combination of truth and absurdity can create the best memes."
