Chapter 49 Big Brother is Big Brother's Big Brother
I don't know where Long Aotian got the news from, but he was still trying to get a share of the cake.
The reason why rich people are rich is that they are either smart and good at making money, or they come from wealthy families. Most rich people are not stupid. Instead, they are better at smelling business opportunities.
Even though Long Aotian acted crazy in the game, he actually realized the gaming potential of Death Scourge a long time ago, but at that time Xu Ercong had already entered the game in advance and seized the opportunity.
Xu Ercong even set up a gaming forum, so Long Aotian really had no way of intervening.
Now a new opportunity has come. The official team of the game has stated that it will not make any statements or appear in person, which is equivalent to the game officials giving up all real benefits and interests to a great extent.
For such a good thing, Long Aotian would get involved no matter what.
A good game with popularity, a good game with potential, and a game official who is not greedy for money.
Wouldn’t it be stupid if we don’t do such a project?
"Why should I bring you along?"
Xu Ercong rolled his eyes. Why should he share such a good thing with others?
He now has the only official authorization, in other words, he represents the game official. Xu Ercong knows the quality and potential of Death God Scourge very well. He has such a big trump card in his hand, how can he share it with others?
"Brother, you are boring now."
Long Aotian sent a voice message: "We are all brothers. We have played in a group together. How can you drink without asking me to come with you?"
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. I invited more than one person to the drinking party tonight, all of whom are the bosses of gaming platforms. What do you want to do?"
"What do you think I'm thinking?"
Long Aotian said with a smile: "Brother, can you handle so many people? For the time being, brother, I can help you deal with it."
"At worst, I'll recognize you as my big brother from now on! This is your game, I'll do whatever you tell me to do!"
The second half of Long Aotian's words was meaningful, which made Xu Ercong hesitate.
What he said was right. It was true that he had a trump card in his hand, but the gaming platform was not something that could be bullied at will. All businessmen wanted to maximize their profits.
In this case, it would be better to win over one or two capable partners to help out, which might bring unexpected benefits.
Even if Long Aotian fails to live up to his expectations, he can kick him away with one foot, and there is nothing he can do.
Thinking of this, Xu Ercong sent a private message.
"Call me brother."
"Fuck, brother, you're serious!"
Long Aotian looked at the private message and widened his eyes: "I, Long Aotian, have been active on the Internet for decades, and I have even cut down the legends of historical games. You want me to call you Big Brother!"
"Shout or not, if you don't shout I won't play with you."
“Brother!”
"Remember to call Bai Xiaosheng tonight, the three of us will go together."
Xu Ercong sent a message and then closed the private message.
The power of the three major clubs together cannot be underestimated, and they can stand up and speak for themselves when facing many major gaming platforms.
"well."
Long Aotian sighed, sat on a big rock in the forest, holding a big bone knife, wondering what he was thinking.
"Brother Long, this guy is only a little bit dead, come over and chop him up!"
In the distance, several gaming masters from the Aotian Club were shouting. They were besieging a lion-like monster. The lion monster was covered in blood and was about to fall down.
Long Aotian waved his hand: "No, no, I'm annoyed."
What's going on? What's this?
The masters looked at each other in bewilderment. Brother Long seemed a little strange today. How could Brother Long, who loved to chop people and monsters so much, be so lazy one day?
"Could it be that Brother Long is heartbroken?"
"No way, Brother Long has a red flag flying high at home and colorful flags flying outside, how could he be heartbroken!"
"Could it be that my uncle is here?"
"possible."
"Brother Long, what should we do with this monster?"
An expert shouted and asked, and Long Aotian was annoyed and yelled, "You can't just chop him off. You're asking me about such a trivial matter!"
" Okay, Brother Long."
A group of experts killed the monster and ran back happily, asking with concern: "Brother Long, what's wrong with you? Are you in a bad mood?"
This group of people are the first level-up team of Aotian Club. Every big club has its own professional level-up team to ensure that all team members are at the highest level in the game!
They are all level 25, and each of them is a master in the game of Death Scourge.
Take any one of them and throw them out, they are all famous big-name players in the game.
"I'm a little annoyed today."
Although skeletons have no eyes, Long Aotian's skeleton is not ordinary. Everyone can feel a sadness from his dark eye sockets.
"Brother Long, what are you worried about? Talk to your brothers."
“You may not believe it.”
Long Aotian sighed, his tone was particularly sad: "From now on, you will have an extra big brother."
"What is this, big brother?"
"Yes, Big Brother! Big Brother is Big Brother's Big Brother!"
"Who is this? So awesome that Brother Long recognizes him as his big brother!"
"It's that bastard Xu Ercong."
…
Xu Xiaofan didn't care about how Xu Ercong negotiated with the gaming platforms. After all, as the Grim Reaper, he was a leader and he certainly wouldn't watch his subordinates work every day.
As long as Xu Ercong can guarantee the interests of the God of Death, Xu Xiaofan will still value him.
If not, then Xu Xiaofan doesn't need him as a believer.
Bai Xiaosheng, Long Aotian, and even many outstanding talents in the game are constantly emerging. The faith level of every player is not low, and the faith level of many players has even reached the level of [true believers] and [fanatics].
Yes, players gradually discovered that their faith levels had increased, but it had no substantial impact on themselves.
It has neither any beneficial effect nor can it enhance one's own strength.
Players feel that this degree of faith is basically just a decoration, and they really cannot understand the meaning of its existence.
"I've discovered a pattern: the longer you play, the faster your faith level increases."
"I feel like this thing is just a decoration to deepen everyone's sense of immersion in the game. After all, we are all believers in the god of death in name only."
Players gradually ignored the concept of faith, but in fact they didn’t know that the level of faith represented their recognition of the Kingdom of Death, their recognition of this game, and their recognition of Xu Xiaofan, the God of Death.
Faith is originally a kind of goodwill, a kind of favor, and a kind of obsessive spiritual emotion.
The players’ judgment is not wrong. The longer the players play, the higher their faith level will be, because the longer they play, the more they like the game.
But another judgment made by the players is incorrect. The level of faith can actually directly relate to and affect the strength of each player.
It’s just that the level of the kingdom of God is too low now, and many things have not been developed.
But no matter what, the overall improvement in players' faith is a good thing for Xu Xiaofan.
…
The next morning, Xu Ercong came back.
He successfully completed the task assigned to him by Xu Xiaofan, completed the negotiations with major gaming platforms, and brought back a set of negotiated terms and content for the cooperation.
Xu Ercong put the terms of cooperation in the mailbox and sent it to Xu Xiaofan.
Long Aotian repeatedly requested that the email explain how they had a heated debate with major gaming platforms last night and how they dominated the drinking party.
Xu Ercong decisively rejected the proposal.
This behavior is so childish, only someone like Long Aotian could think of such a thing.
“Ding Dong.”
"Cong'er sent an email."
Xu Xiaofan took a quick look at the content of the email and the terms of the contract.
Xu Ercong did not disappoint him. This time the external negotiations and discussion were perfect. The content of the treaty also greatly gained game promotion resources and player channels. Even each game platform took on the task of traffic channels.
Every gaming platform guarantees a minimum number of new players entering the game every month. If this number is not reached, the contract will be automatically terminated without charging a penny.
Of course, Xu Ercong didn’t have that much money to invest in the game platform to promote the game Death Scourge, so he agreed to some interest terms from the major platforms on behalf of Xu Xiaofan.
For example, there are a series of authorization requirements such as the official creation of Bleach game, the rights to adapt into animation and film and television, the production and sale of game peripheral characters, etc.
Of course, not all of these things were sold to the game platform. Xu Ercong, Long Aotian and others also gained a lot of benefits and obtained some authorizations, which are all detailed in the contract.
Originally, Xu Ercong was worried that the game officials would not agree to the terms of the contract. After all, these things are the most profitable aspects. If the game officials do it themselves, they will definitely make a lot of money.
However, Xu Xiaofan didn't care about these things. Even if he had these authorizations in his hands, even if he could go to the real world, even if he had enough resources and funds, he didn't have time to deal with these things.
Xu Xiaofan is now a god after all, an ordinary person who has escaped from vulgar interests.
The most urgent task is to improve one's own strength. The God of Light hasn't been defeated yet, so why should one think about making money?
Therefore, Xu Xiaofan waved his hand and agreed to the terms of the contract.
"You want money, I want believers, perfect cooperation."
Xu Xiaofan was very satisfied. He was looking forward to seeing how many believers this opportunity would bring him.
There is a lot of life only when there are believers.
Only with a long life can the god of death become powerful.
Just as Xu Xiaofan, Xu Ercong and others were discussing how to make the plague of death go a step further, in another distant dimension, in the human main city of the Esk continent, something closely related to the undead was happening.
…
The City of Thornflower, the headquarters of the temple, is also the location of the Thornflower School of Magic.
This is a main city with a long history. It has experienced countless disasters and wars, but it still stands here. It is a treasure-level city of human civilization.
Magic and divine arts can coexist here. Although they constantly clash with each other, it is undeniable that the confluence of faith and magic makes the atmosphere here brighter and more positive.
To put it simply, the people in this city walk out with their heads held high and their chests puffed out, looking very proud.
Just today.
A major event that attracted everyone's attention took place in the City of Thorn Flowers.
"Something big has happened! The Temple is going to judge the people from the School of Magic!"
"After years of confrontation, are we going to have a falling out today?"
"This is not a good thing. Is the great thorn flower going to be involved in a fight again?"
"I heard it's in the temple hall, everyone go check it out!"
Countless residents rushed to the temple, and careful people discovered that there were many more magicians wearing hoods and robes on the streets.
They lowered their heads, walked in groups, without saying a word, and hurried along.
A solemn and depressing atmosphere has gradually enveloped the city.
