Volume 1: Dance of the Black Dragon Chapter 8 A Question of Money and Principle
One million is not a small amount.
Murphy couldn't help but sneer in his heart. If it was just an ordinary BOSS account, it was actually not worth much money. The lowest level skeleton level 1 BOSS S in the game could be created with only 100,000 points.
However, BOSS characters are the same as hero characters, the higher the level, the more expensive it is. The first-level horror-level BOSS starts at 500,000, and the first-level disaster-level BOSS starts at 2.5 million. The restrictions on the creation of world-class BOSS have not yet been opened, but according to this ratio, it is estimated to be 12.5 million.
Although there are many world bosses in the entire game, there is not a single one that can be played by players.
You should know that the death rate is very high in the process of BOSS upgrading its rank, because you must play a story campaign to advance. Story campaigns are usually a duel between heroes and BOSS. The winner advances and the loser dies. Once you die in a story campaign, you are really dead. The so-called story kill. It can be said that playing a story campaign is actually playing the chicken-eating mode.
Among 100 skeleton-level bosses, not even one can successfully advance to a world-class boss.
The black dragon BOSS he trained has now reached the fifth disaster level and is about to be promoted to a world BOSS. That is a world BOSS. It cannot be said that one dragon can defeat an entire country, but it can still destroy an entire city.
The fact that he has been able to raise this Black Dragon character to this level requires a lot of effort. It is not only due to his skills, but also luck. In addition, the competition was not that fierce when the game was first launched, so he could perform many fancy operations. Now, even if he were to start over again, he would not have much chance to train such an account again.
Once, a wealthy man spent 10 million to buy his account, but Murphy had to refuse due to the platform regulations and contract rules.
Now the one million plus an ordinary BOSS account is going to be taken back. How about giving it away to beggars?
Mo Fei was pissed in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face. "Haha, I'm sorry, Mr. Boss. This is not about money. It's mainly because I have put too much effort into this account, and I have developed feelings for the audience. If I suddenly stop live streaming, it really can't be justified, and the platform will also suffer a great loss."
"It doesn't matter. We will still broadcast live in the name of Black Dragon Lord Morpheus. After all, the voice of the dragon will not change. The audience is watching Black Dragon Lord Morpheus, not the anchor. So, give me a straight answer. Is this okay?" When he said the last few words, there was already some impatience on Wang Ziheng's face.
Mo Fei couldn't help but curse him in his heart as shameless. He could already roughly guess what was going on in the other person's mind - I am the young president of Xingyao Group, and I am giving you face by taking so long to discuss things with you. Don't be so shameless.
But since his interests were involved, he really couldn't compromise.
"I'm sorry, I can't agree to this. This is not about money, this is a matter of principle."
Wang Ziheng looked at him and suddenly laughed. His laugh was so unusually friendly that it made Murphy feel uneasy.
"Haha, forget it. I'm just asking anyway. Just continue. I won't bother you." After saying that, he turned and left.
However, Murphy couldn't relax. If Wang Ziheng really pointed at his nose and scolded him, he would feel relieved. Anyway, he was often scolded by the audience during the live broadcast. They were all workers, and no matter who scolded him, it didn't matter. He could just endure it. But the more the other party reacted as if nothing had happened, the more unsure he became. He knew this kind of person. The so-called "a barking dog doesn't bite" refers to this kind of person.
But things have already come to this, I can't just go after him and regret it, I can't afford to lose face like this.
The other party shouldn't go too far, Murphy thought. After all, this is his own business and he is his employee, making money for him.
The supervisor shook his head and said, "Mo Fei, what are you thinking? It's not just about money. Why are you so arrogant? If you want more compensation, just tell me. I can help you negotiate. It won't be difficult to add a few million. How can you just refuse like that?"
Mo Fei thought to himself, he only offered one million, so it's not just a matter of money. If you want to throw money at me, then you should give me more. If you offer eighteen million, how can I refuse?
After all, he is the company's CEO, so why is he so stingy?
"I'm sorry, it's really not about money . I have principles as a person, and some things can't be measured by money."
The supervisor was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but show an expression of admiration, "Okay, you are awesome."
He turned around and chased out the door, taking small steps to catch up with Wang Ziheng who was about to leave.
"Master, look at this... Mo Fei is usually quite reasonable. Maybe he just got off the air and hasn't adjusted his mentality yet. How about giving him a higher price?"
Wang Ziheng smiled slightly, "Haha, there is no need. Although I am a rich second generation, I don't like to spend money recklessly. If I can spend less, of course I will save a little. Why should I spend more money if I can get it for free?
I have heard of Murphy. He was not very famous before. He gained some popularity only because of the live broadcast of Black Dragon. Moreover, he cannot show his face in the game, so he himself is not important. What is important is his game character.
His contract is about to expire, and he has to stay no matter what for such a high-profile character. Find all of Murphy's past live broadcasts and have the review department check them carefully to see if there are any problems, and report back to me."
…
When Murphy returned home, Wang Ziheng's words and expression kept appearing in his mind. He was somewhat worried, but due to his status, he could do nothing if the other party really wanted to do something to him. He thought that his contract would expire in a few months and he would be free then.
A five-year live broadcast contract was signed at the beginning, but the game was not very popular in the first four years until the mysterious game Sky World came out.
Holographic virtual games are a technology that only exists in science fiction novels. When I first learned about this game, I thought it was an April Fool's joke. I didn't expect that this game could actually be done . To this day, Murphy still finds it a little hard to believe.
However, this did not prevent him from making a choice. He entered the game as soon as possible. As he had no money to buy an advanced account, he could only play with the monster template and explore the world bit by bit as a black dragon. Unexpectedly, his luck was quite good. In addition, he had studied the game ideas thoroughly, and by chance he became the number one in the monster area.
He reached the peak of his career in the last few months of his broadcasting career.
However, as the popularity increased, troubles also increased. It was bad enough that he was criticized by black fans in the game, but he was also involved in all kinds of intrigues in real life, and was reported several times. He knew who was responsible for the incident. Now that he encountered such a thing again, Mo Fei couldn't help but feel like quitting. He thought he might as well quit after the contract expired. Anyway, he had made some money in the past six months, so at least he wouldn't be short of money in the short term. Even if he worked in the game to earn money, he could live on his own in the future. Why bother with all this nonsense?
He comforted himself, lay down on the bed, and soon fell asleep.
Although the instructions for use of the gaming helmet say that the helmet uses deep sleep technology and playing games is equivalent to sleeping, Murphy always feels very tired after each live broadcast, as if he has really turned into a black dragon and fought for a whole day. He always has to take a good sleep to restore his energy.
At this time, Murphy was sleeping very soundly, but his consciousness was hazy, and he found himself standing in darkness. He did not realize that he was dreaming at first, until a pair of flaming eyes appeared in the darkness, staring straight at him with a complex emotion.
"Little human, we meet again."
