Lufeng felt helpless. He never thought he would enter the gaming profession. If it weren't for Wang Xiaojing's efforts for Murong Xiaoxiao, and Murong Xiaoxiao's connection to him, he would have never stepped into a professional studio. For the sake of his three roommates and himself, he decided to join Wang Xiaoqian's studio. Compared to other industries, gaming is indeed a highly profitable field.
Everything has its limits; only by grasping this limit can one avoid losing oneself. This is especially true in gaming, where it is difficult to maintain that balance, leading countless teenagers to become addicted until they regret it after suffering losses.
The reason Lufeng agreed to Wang Xiaojing was due to three main factors:
First, the harsh reality made it hard to find a suitable job, especially for university students who often have high aspirations but low skills. It is uncertain how many have truly learned valuable skills, but Lufeng has witnessed his roommates' four years of life. He had muddled through in the same way. Now that Wang Xiaojing offered them this opportunity, he knew he had to seize it seriously. Having already spent four years just getting by, if they were going to do this, they might as well make something of it. He believed this was a chance.
Second, he believed that everyone loved this virtual world; being able to reflect one's value was enough. Life is like a game, and every field has its own value. He believed his roommates could amplify their worth infinitely within a limited space. He sensed that they were not just playing games but also exploring higher meanings in life. The question lies in how one perceives it.
Third and most importantly, according to official information about Wen Tian and the reviews from players during the public beta test, all feedback was positive. The gaming company was no longer exploiting players; they wouldn’t deceive gamers under the guise of a public beta. After two days of testing, they would directly launch the official operation. This not only indicated official recognition of the game but also showed that Wen Tian had already gained popularity among players.
Wen Tian accounts were directly linked with characters, irises, identification cards, and gaming helmets. Game currency could be exchanged for Reality Currency, ensuring excellent account security and completely eliminating shameful practices like account theft and power leveling. The servers reached cutting-edge electronic technology standards, allowing billions of users to be online simultaneously without disconnections—no more waiting due to overcrowded logins. The game operated daily from 8 AM to 8 PM, with the remaining 12 hours dedicated to maintenance, greatly ensuring security and considering the mental health of gamers while avoiding severe addiction issues among teenagers.
Everyone was clear-headed; Wang Xiaojing saw that Lufeng wouldn’t abandon his roommates. Qiu Han and others knew they had this opportunity because of Lufeng, but they only felt gratitude towards him. Even Gao Chao was particularly excited; he was thrilled about working alongside beauties like Murong Xiaoxiao and Wang Xiaojing.
Seeing his roommates unable even to say thank you left Lufeng speechless: “Don’t you know how to express gratitude?”
“Oh, thank you, boss… I really appreciate it; you’re such a great boss,” Qin Shou said emotionally, almost on the verge of tears, while Qiu Han felt touched inside.
Lufeng was even more speechless: “It’s not me you should thank; don’t you know you should thank classmate Xiaojing? Oh no, Miss Wang! It’s Miss Wang who gave us this opportunity. Don’t think you can play around like before; she’s paying us salaries now. You need to be worthy of that salary!”
“I understand; thank you, Miss Wang! I will dedicate my limited life to an infinite career. Please rest assured; we will work hard,” Qiu Han said seriously.
“Pfft—hahaha—”
Seeing Qiu Han’s serious demeanor made both girls laugh uncontrollably.
The more indifferent Wang Xiaojing seemed, the more Lufeng felt their group lacked value: “Miss Wang, if you’re only offering this because of Xiaoxiao and ignoring our worth, then I can’t accept this job.”
Wang Xiaojing was taken aback: “Why? I know you think I’m just giving you charity; please don’t think that way! Haven't you all played games for four years?! I believe in you guys; besides, my brother won’t let me off easily.”
"Alright, with your words, I feel relieved. Gao Chao, Qin Shou, Qiu Han, you three listen carefully. Miss Wang believes we are worth it, and we cannot let others think we are being 'kept.' From now on, you need to put in the same effort as before in the game and follow Miss Wang's arrangements. I believe we can earn as much as we work for. Don't be shortsighted; we are not aiming for just a guaranteed five thousand. We don't seek the best, only better. We must strive for higher wages." Lufeng said seriously. Having been called the leader for four years, he felt he had to do something for his classmates of four years. Everyone was in their twenties, and Lufeng believed they could understand and knew clearly that Wang Xiaojing did not have high hopes for them.
Hearing Lufeng's high awareness, Wang Xiaojing seemed to feel she had struck gold and held a glimmer of hope that Lufeng and the others could surprise her. She looked at Lufeng with new eyes and couldn't help but feel a bit more admiration: "Good!"
The moment everyone nodded to join the studio, everything would be a new beginning. Lufeng did not know what would happen in the future, but he felt as if he saw a ray of light in the vast ocean. He firmly believed that every profession produces champions, and he would lead his brothers to achieve their ultimate dream of a turnaround in both Wen Tian and reality.
...
All the way, they listened to Wang Xiaojing excitedly praising how amazing her brother was. Lufeng and the others felt anxious, unsure about what kind of boss they would face in the future.
In the CBD Business District, in a building next to the Holiday Inn, Wang Xiaojing brought Lufeng and the others to report to the studio.
When they reached the conference room marked with the "Myth" sign, Wang Xiaojing turned to Lufeng and the other three men and said, "Don't say too much later; my brother doesn't know you guys are coming. Just nod or shake your heads."
After seeing Lufeng and the others nodding, Wang Xiaojing smiled and pushed open the conference room door: "Brother, I'm back!"
At that moment, Wang Qiang was discussing tomorrow's workflow for Wen Tian with members of the studio. When he saw the door open, he felt slightly annoyed but smiled helplessly when he recognized it was Wang Xiaojing: "You again! Just come back without knocking? I really can't do anything about you. Hurry up and sit... Huh? Who are you?"
As soon as the door opened, all formal members of the studio looked towards the entrance, praying for whoever was coming in. But when they saw who it was, they were all drooling. Murong Xiaoxiao appeared in full attire, making these 'guys' think they hadn't woken up yet. Even Wang Qiang was taken aback; one word could express everyone's feelings at that moment: beautiful!
"Brother, they are all my good friends and hardcore players. With their addition, our Myth Studio will definitely grow stronger," Wang Xiaojing said excitedly while feeling anxious inside: how could she convince her brother to take them in?
Wang Qiang glanced at Murong Xiaoxiao a few times; his heart stirred but still calmly said: "Didn't you say you only had one close friend? How come there are suddenly four more?"
"It's like this; these four classmates of mine happen to be looking for jobs. I think it's a waste of talent if these gaming geniuses go elsewhere; only here can they showcase their strengths," Wang Xiaojing blinked and said.
However, Wang Qiang immediately saw through it. He glanced at Lufeng and the others while tapping on the table and earnestly advised: "My dear sister, how many times have I told you? Our studio is made up of elites among elites; it's not a shelter. You know your brother is very selective about who he takes in. Look at the members present; which one isn't an expert? These are all members who came from Wen Tian's internal test."
Upon hearing this, Gao Chao and others felt somewhat indignant at Wang Qiang's implication that they were nothing special. They wanted to retort but were stopped by Lufeng's gaze.
"I don't care! If you don't take them in today, Xiaoxiao and I won't join your studio," Wang Xiaojing crossed her arms and pouted.
Looking at Wang Xiaojing's cute yet not-so-cute demeanor, Lufeng wanted to laugh but couldn't.
For Wang Xiaojing, Wang Qiang felt helpless and could only turn to his best buddy: "Alang, say something."
Night Wolf, who had always admired Wang Xiaojing and was also a core member of Myth Studio, found himself in a difficult position—one side was the person he loved, and the other was his brother and the studio's CEO. Ultimately, emotions won over reason: "Ahem, um, the lady brought someone who must be exceptional. I trust her judgment; how about... we accept them for now?"
"Aunt?" Murong Xiaoxiao and the others murmured in confusion.
"My brother's ID is Aunt Wang. The phrase 'Aunt Wang's boldness shakes the walls' refers to him. In the gaming world, my brother is one of the top players; everyone knows his name," Wang Xiaojing explained with a hint of pride.
Wang Qiang was stunned. He thought Night Wolf would help him play the bad guy, but it turned out like this. Rubbing his head in frustration, he said, "Stop flattering! Anyway, don't think this is a good thing; there are evaluations every quarter. If you don't meet the standards, you're out."
Pacing back and forth, he continued, "What you have now is definitely something you've earned, but just because you've put in effort doesn't guarantee you'll get something back. Opportunities won't just fall from the sky; you must work hard on your own. Now, please introduce yourselves."
"I come from Beihai. My name is Lufeng. I'm a recent graduate from B University with four years of work experience. I can play dozens of games like Heavenly Dragon, CF, CS, LOL, DOTA," Lufeng introduced himself first.
"I also come from Beihai. My name is Murong Xiaoxiao. I'm a recent graduate from B University and I rarely play games," Murong Xiaoxiao said shyly.
"Oh, you also come from Beihai?" Wang Qiang looked at Murong Xiaoxiao and then at Lufeng.
"He's my brother!" Murong Xiaoxiao said with her head down.
"Oh~" Wang Qiang then looked at Wang Xiaojing with a meaningful sigh. "Continue!"
"I'm a local. My name is Gao Chao..."
"Climax?" Everyone burst into laughter.
"Chao, Gao Chao. Chao means 'morning,' and my family is from Chaoyang District; my dad's last name happens to be Gao," Gao Chao explained.
"Oh, continue!"
"I am a local, my name is Gao Chao, a recent graduate of B University, with four years of game experience. Our boss, oh, Lufeng knows how to play, and we all can play."
"Continue!" Wang Qiang said somewhat impatiently.
"I... I come from Hunan, my name is Qin Shou."
"Beast?" Everyone burst into laughter.
"The Qin from Qin Shi Huang, and the Shou means to guard," Qin Shou explained, blushing.
"Oh, you scared me for a moment. Continue," Wang Qiang showed some interest again.
"I come from Hunan, my name is Qin Shou, a recent graduate of B University, and a member of the Wen Tian Internal Test team."
"Good! Finally, we have some talent. Continue," Wang Qiang said with a hint of appreciation.
"I, I, I am Qiu Han. I come from Hubei, a recent graduate of B University. I've played everything they have played. We four are roommates," Qiu Han said nervously with a hometown accent.
