Chapter 661: Drawing Attention
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
This time, Mary hung up the phone without waiting for Mark’s answer.
She was so angry that she plopped down on the chair to calm herself down. She thought about her childhood experience. Her parents were so discriminatory that her entire childhood was miserable.
Even if she was bullied by other children, her parents would only advise her not to get into trouble and to bear with it.
On the other hand, Mark had been doted on since he was born. Her parents had always been spoiling Mark while she was being exploited. This unfair gap had long been buried in her heart and she had gotten used to it.
Ever since she saved Mark, she did not want to continue enduring her family’s favoritism. This time, even if she risked being cursed by her family, she would not help Mark anymore.
The Internet was always leading the pace for Xintao. If the Internet could have a negative impact on Xintao, it would not let go of any opportunity.
This was usual for business compet.i.tion, so Yin Xun did not take it to heart at all.
The Rhythm Short Video platform was on the right track, and Xintao was already firmly in first place. So far, there were no problems. The only thing left was the video game. As long as the game was stable, the navigation system would be able to come online soon after the users helped with gathering geographical information.
Other than Yin Xun, Xu Lin from Blue Fox had also been keeping an eye on the game.
He had always been curious as to why Yin Xun was so obsessed with games even though she owned an online shopping company.
He could still understand the purpose of Rhythm Short Video. It was indeed effective to bring goods to Xintao’s live broadcast. Blue Fox’s investors put some effort into thinking of ways to imitate it.
However, he could not figure out how this video game could help shopping websites.
In order to understand his opponent, he had done a thorough investigation on Yin Xun. According to his understanding, Yin Xun was not someone who would do pointless things.
The game had been online for three days, and Xu Lin had been watching the situation. Seeing that Yin Xun had not made any new moves, he could not help but wonder if he was wrong. Was she really just trying to develop a completely separate project this time?
In order to answer the doubts in his heart, he also downloaded the Mythology game.
However, he was stumped the moment he registered. This game was bound to a Xintao account, and he had never used one. After all, he was the vice president of Blue Fox. If he used the Xintao app, would he not become a laughingstock?
After hesitating for a moment, he told himself that he was doing this to scout out the enemy’s situation, so he registered with a Xintao account.
Xu Lin was not very young anymore and rarely played games. This was his first time playing one in a while. He followed the game’s tutorial and quickly understood what the game was about.
It turned out that he was using his energy to draw cards and then duel with others. However, just drawing cards was not enough. If he wanted to beat others, he needed to obtain items.
The items were distributed in various places. If a player wanted to become stronger, they had to go outdoors. This was a disguised form of forcing others to train in the game.
As he was focused on the game, Xu Lin suddenly saw a golden light coming from somewhere in the game’s interface. Immediately after that, a pop-up window reminded him that there were items nearby.
Xu Lin followed the instructions and found that the location was under his desk. He walked to the desk but the game showed that he was still a distance away.
Seeing that he could not reach it, he crawled under the desk. As expected, a message popped up for the item. He clicked to receive it. He could not help but feel surprised. How was the location sensing so accurate? It could even register such a tiny difference in s.p.a.ce.
He had just casually drawn an SSR-grade card and picked up a golden item. He opened the game forum and found that the discussion was extremely heated.
Almost everyone complained that they were unlucky. They ran to several places but could never get an SSR card, let alone a high-level item. Those were even harder to get than the cards. They ran to several places but did not even find a single one.
It seemed that this game was very popular. Xu Lin casually made a post. [This game is kinda average. Other than drawing cards and picking up items, there’s nothing fun to do.]
After sending the post, he took a screenshot of the moment he drew the card and picked up the item.
This was a newly registered account. No one knew his ident.i.ty, so Xu Lin did not think too much about it. However, he had neglected one thing. The screenshot of the item pick-up included his location. He had not turned off the location settings.
Among the posts, Xu Lin’s post was particularly eye-catching. Soon, netizens started to reply.
[Ahhh, a gold card and a high-level item. What kind of luck is this? Tell me where this is. I want to pick it up too!]
[Are your eyes not working? Isn’t there an address on the picture? Blue Fox…
Oh my G.o.d, this address is actually within Blue Fox.. So Blue Fox’s staff also use Xintao in private?]
