Instant messaging

"Um, um, what Soul of the King said is right. In business, sincerity matters. So, how about this, you guys surrender this time. Next time you attack the castle, we can do business again. What do you think?"

"Damn..."

Such shameless words could only come from Chen Yu; everyone else around him was cursing.

"This guy, how can he be so shameless?"

"It's necessary, otherwise, how would he be called a Merchant?"

"True, but although this guy is shameless, he's incredibly strong."

The ID "Number One in the World" was well-known, a professional businessman. On the first day of the game's launch, he seemed to be one step ahead of everyone else. Of course, if it were just leveling up faster, that wouldn't matter much. In The Legend of Mir 2, there were plenty of leveling maniacs, and many players reached a higher level than Number One in the World.

But what made him truly exceptional was his business acumen. He managed to inflate the price of a regular Horn to 10,000 in-game currency. Rumor had it that the price of high-level skill books had soared as well, and it was all due to him monopolizing the market for advanced skill books in the game. Moreover, recently, he had started a gaming workshop, and all kinds of amazing equipment came from his workshop.

"His attack power is incredible; even Warriors can't withstand it."

"Don't you see what weapon he's using? It's the Bloodthirsty Sword, the most powerful equipment for Wizards, and it's rumored to have hidden attributes."

"What hidden attributes?"

"Let's start with the surface ones. The Bloodthirsty Sword increases accuracy by +5, which essentially nullifies any evasion from magic. Furthermore, it's said that his hidden attribute can raise the level of Fire Wall and Aurora Film."

"Raise the level, what does that mean?"

"Simple. Let me ask you, what's the highest level our skills can reach?"

"Level 3... Wait, don't tell me that with the Bloodthirsty Sword, his Fire Wall and Aurora Film are at level 4."

"You got it."

Once they started talking, everyone became even more envious of Number One in the World and his Bloodthirsty Sword.

"No wonder these Warriors can't hold on."

"Yeah, Fire Wall at level 3 and Aurora Film at level 3 are already powerful, but he's at level 4; it's terrifying to think about."

"If it were me, I probably wouldn't last 3 seconds."

"That's not all, look at his other equipment; it's equally amazing."

The onlookers continued to marvel at Chen Yu's equipment and inspect it closely.

"Check out the helmet that Number One in the World is wearing. Oh my, it's an Iron Helmet, typically worn by Warriors, it's too heavy for most Wizards. But he actually put it on."

"An Iron Helmet provides incredible defense and magic resistance; I can't believe he added 2 points of magic to it."

"No wonder several Warriors have hit him with Flame Strike, and he's still standing."

The more they looked, the more amazed they became. If it weren't for the guild battle, many of them would have wanted to loot the equipment from Number One in the World.

"Boss, that guy has all top-tier equipment; we can't beat him."

"Even if we can't beat him, we have to try. Warriors at the front put on full magic defense equipment, and all Wizards, give your skills to Number One in the World."

"Alright."

The members of the Eternal Kingdom followed their leader's orders and began to counterattack.

"Soul of the King, hurry, send some Warriors to protect me."

"Come on, with your equipment, they can't kill you."

"Who said they can't? If hundreds of people all use their skills on you, you'd die even if you had the Dragon Slayer Sword."

"Well, you've got a point."

After all, Mir 2 was still Mir 2, not like the Warriors in the future who could take on hundreds or even thousands of people alone. In The Legend of Mir 2, although powerful equipment was impressive, it couldn't reach the level of being able to take on dozens or hundreds of people single-handedly.

Although Chen Yu's Bloodthirsty Sword had hidden attributes, and his other equipment was top-notch, if hundreds of people ganged up on him, he'd still be doomed. If he died and dropped the Bloodthirsty Sword, it would be a terrible deal.

Fortunately, on the side of Soul of the King, they also understood the seriousness of the situation. While Chen Yu alone couldn't save the entire King's Guild, if they could protect him and, with his help, fend off the attack of the Five Great Guilds, they stood a good chance.

"Everyone, all our Warriors, get in front of Number One in the World and protect him."

"No one is allowed to get close to Number One in the World."

"Wizards in the back, cast Blizzard."

"And you, Taoists, use your pets to lock onto the enemy Wizards."

The battle continued for two hours.

Originally, King's Guild was bound to lose this guild battle. However, with Chen Yu's participation, the balance of victory slowly tilted towards King's Guild. Especially with the hidden attributes of the Bloodthirsty Sword, under the bonuses of Fire Wall and Aurora Film, it became difficult for the enemy's Warriors to withstand the attacks.

After three waves of attacks, all three enemy guilds were defeated.

In the end, King's Guild became the leader of Sabuk with a score of 3950 kills.

"Schemer, you're amazing, thanks a lot."

"Don't mention it."

"How about joining our King's Guild? They might come back for revenge in half a month."

Although King's Guild had already taken over Sabuk Castle, the castle's settings had never had an eternal ruler. Even if you were sitting on it now, other guilds could still challenge you after some time. To secure the position of Sabuk Castle, Soul of the King once again extended an invitation to Chen Yu.

"Well, I won't be joining."

Chen Yu shook his head. "I'm just a professional businessman; it's not a good idea for me to join a guild."

This certainly wasn't a good idea.

If he really joined a guild, other guilds might not be inclined to do business with Chen Yu. Furthermore, if he joined the King's Guild, how could he help other guilds in their guild battles? This was a significant business opportunity, and Chen Yu didn't want to give it up.

"That's a real shame," Soul of the King replied with deep regret.

...

"Hey, little guy, are you there?"

"Chen Yu, are you there?"

"Boss, didn't log in today?"

After the guild battle ended, Chen Yu opened QQ. At this moment, several messages from Wang Chang appeared with a ping.

"Sister, what's up? Why so urgent?"

"Why did you log in so late today?"

"I was just playing a game."

"You still have the mood to play games?"

"Why not? Can't I play games?"

"Don't you care about the website development?"

"I've already done it for you guys. Don't tell me you can't handle it; then, I'll find someone else."

"... "

Wang Chang rolled her eyes at Chen Yu. "Don't worry; this small task can still be completed."

"That's good."

"By the way, what do you think about the instant messaging business?"

"You mean QQ?"

"You could say that. Do you have any ideas for developing an instant messaging platform?"

"I haven't thought about it."

"Why not?"

"QQ has already exceeded 1 million concurrent users, basically monopolizing the domestic instant messaging market. What's the point of going in and courting trouble?"

"But QQ might not necessarily maintain its monopoly. What if a more powerful instant messaging software emerges?"

"Then, I'll just wait for QQ to copy and improve upon it."

Chen Yu spoke offhandedly.
