Chapter 242: #242 - A creative marketing plan (asking for monthly tickets)

The veteran employees at least knew that their boss, Xu Meng, was eccentric.

He was a formidable person capable of building virtual cities and developing entirely new gameplay mechanics on his own.

— Although he always said, "I also assembled a small team to help me."

But in reality, that small team of only about 10 people was purely there to assist him and handle miscellaneous tasks.

Everyone was in the same company; how could such a thing be hidden from anyone?

Now, seeing their boss silently create so many outrageous things while everyone was on rotation leave, they were indeed dumbfounded, but after reacting, they burst forth with a strong desire to complain.

The new employees were different —

Where had they ever seen such a scene before?

Employees taking leave or slacking off, while the boss secretly worked overtime like crazy?

Was this something a human could understand?

Who exactly was the boss, and who were the employees??

It was simply upside down and backwards!

With the employees reacting so strongly, Xu Meng couldn't help but say something.

So he looked at everyone and said sincerely, "You guys should adapt a little."

"? ? ?" The question marks above the heads of the new and old employees multiplied.

What did he mean by 'adapt a little'?

"This kind of thing will happen frequently in the future, so you should adapt now, and you won't be so surprised in the future," Xu Meng said seriously.

Li Xingyun covered her forehead helplessly on the spot.

The reactions of the other employees were similar — they all felt that what he said sounded reasonable, yet very wrong!

But Xu Meng didn't give them time to think: "Besides, I'm not doing it alone."

"Xiao Meng also helped me!"

In Dream Forge, almost all employees had their own intelligent companion, so there was no need for Xu Meng to hide Xiao Meng.

But what everyone didn't know was that Xiao Meng and their office companions were completely different concepts, and the assistance they could provide was not on the same level at all.

However, Xu Meng didn't plan to explain this aspect.

Just then, Chen Junyi asked him, "When the virtual city opens in December, will this tower be open directly?"

Xu Meng took the opportunity to take over the topic: "Yes."

"The virtual city always needs to be filled with content that can be explored and played with, so that players won't feel it's empty."

"I've not only prepared this tower, but I've also put a lot of Easter eggs inside."

An entire city could hold too many Easter eggs.

Xu Meng and Xiao Meng wandered around inside every day, stuffing Easter eggs inside whenever they had the chance.

"But..." Although Chen Junyi really wanted to complain — your efficiency is too high.

But this was, after all, a serious project meeting, and he restrained himself from complaining and continued to ask about business:

"Even with intelligent development tools, the development of 'Monster Hunter' will take several months. Will you just let the players fight in it during these months?"

"Without superpowers and special effects, wouldn't the fights be uninteresting to watch?"

As he was in charge of publicity, he immediately realized the great value of this Sky Arena for promotion.

"Don't worry, this [Sky Arena] isn't just for players; there will also be many NPCs in the virtual city who hope to reach the top of this tower."

"They will also be the players' opponents."

"In addition, there's your work."

Xu Meng said to Chen Junyi, "Go contact professional boxers and mixed martial artists in reality, as well as those Kung Fu internet celebrities on Biter Biting and PiliPili with a particularly large following and influence."

"Bring all these people over to fight! Climb the tower!"

"Guarantee that the popularity can continue to rise!"

"Especially if people from these two areas clash head-on, the program effect will be even more explosive!"

As Xu Meng spoke, his tone unconsciously rose.

— He himself had become excited and began to look forward to that scene.

And Chen Junyi was directly shocked.

He had thought of inviting famous professional fighting masters to promote it.

But he couldn't have imagined that he could also bring those mixed and chaotic "traditional martial arts" internet celebrities, filled with a large number of "editing flow" masters, to sing a counter-melody!

This is also...

Too good for the program!

While nodding, he gave Xu Meng a thumbs up.

"Understood! Leave it to me!"

Xu Meng, of course, didn't doubt Chen Junyi's ability and turned to ask others if they had any other questions with peace of mind.

After answering a few more questions, he entered the task assignment phase.

Determining the development tasks for each department and setting a development schedule...

......

After a busy time, Xu Meng breathed a sigh of relief after setting the company's main tasks for the next three months.

He had always disliked meetings, but if he wanted the company to follow the path he had planned, meetings were unavoidable.

He could only try to make each meeting concise and efficient.

After returning to the office and hugging Xiao Meng for a while to recharge himself, Xu Meng went back to work.

He was just about to go and see the situation on the virtual city side when Xiao Meng waved her small hand in front of him and said, "There's a message from the laboratory. Does Master want to take a look?"

Xu Meng had to stop and pay attention to the situation in the laboratory first.

The reproduction of the [Dream Weaver] was much more difficult than the holographic display.

Especially the pharmaceutical aspect.

The verification of the holographic display medium only required emitting a few segments of electromagnetic waves and throwing a few monkeys in.

But Dream Wandering Agent, as a new drug, was much more complicated to verify!

......

......

In the following week, Xu Meng was busy with the launch of the 'Monster Hunter' project and coordinating the progress of various laboratories.

He was almost too busy to touch the ground.

He had already forgotten about the situation in Sprawlville.

But at the same time, players who wanted to rush into Sprawlville in advance had made progress —

During this time, they had a harder time than Xu Meng!

Xu Meng, after all, had a terrifying experience of sudden death, and now he wouldn't work overtime desperately even when he was busy, and the time for rest and exercise was always fully guaranteed.

The players were different. In order to grind 10,000 kills, they completely forgot to eat and sleep, day and night.

Under this effort, someone finally reached the goal late at night on the last day of November —

[Northwest Hammer King] Li Liangcai.

With the help of his teammates, he achieved 10,000 kills with the great hammer and obtained the Golden Hammer.

The latest novels are first published on 6 9 Shuba!

[Zhu Mo] Li Guanyan, after ending her journey in the [War Zone] mode, lived in the [War Zone] mode, and...

Only played with knives!

In specific terrains, killing with knives was faster than guns!

She even got the Golden Combat Knife an hour faster than the Northwest Hammer King.

However, she spent a lot of time cutting bed sheets and quilts with a combat knife to make ropes, so that when she threw the rope tied to the cup out of the window, the Northwest Hammer King was also holding a golden hammer and smashing the door lock.

"Peng!"

The mechanical lock broke in response.

"Di —"

The red warning light came on, and the metal door slowly opened.

There was no corridor or light as expected.

What appeared in front of him was directly an elevator.

"Good fellow, zero public area!" Li Liangcai complained while pressing [1st Floor].

The elevator slowly descended.

At the same time, Zhu Mo also pulled the thin cloth rope and jumped down from the window, sliding vertically along the rope.

The sound of the wind roared past her ears, and the vehicles and pedestrians on the road quickly magnified.

But Zhu Mo remained unchanged!

Finally, the rope reached its end about 3 meters above the ground.

Zhu Mo prayed in her heart that the game character's knees would be stronger, and at the same time, she let go and jumped down.

There was a soft thud.

The screen vibrated, and the health dropped a small section.

She stood up steadily, and the welcome music sounded in her ears again. On the glass wall of the building opposite, a huge artistic character appeared —

[Welcome to Sprawlville!]

She immediately raised her arms and cheered loudly —

"Yes!!!"

"I'm in, hahaha!"

Beside him, the Northwest Hammer King also walked out of the gate and saw the same welcome words.

While laughing heartily, he smashed the roadside telephone pole with a hammer.

The huge sound startled Zhu Mo, who was celebrating.

She turned her head suddenly and saw Hammer King Li Liangcai laughing.

She blinked and tentatively asked, "Player?"

Li Liangcai nodded, "You too?"

Zhu Mo also nodded.

"Awesome, awesome!"

"You're awesome too!"

"Together?"

"Let's go together!"

After the two complimented each other commercially, they set off together to explore the city.

They strolled around and came to the central square.

— This was not an accident, because Xu Meng designed Sprawlville so that all the main roads led to this central square.

And the central square was where the awards ceremony would be held tomorrow night.

Xu Meng had released live photos three days ago.

Zhu Mo looked at this place and then at the golden hammer that Li Liangcai had been carrying in his hand.

She bent her index and middle fingers and tapped the palm of her left hand to open the collection page.

Clicking on the Golden Grenade.

The grenade appeared in her hand.

Looking at the grenade, she had a wonderful idea.

The streamer turned to look at Li Liangcai: "I have an idea."

"What?" Li Liangcai looked blankly at the robot feeding pigeons on the bench and casually replied.

"At tomorrow's awards ceremony, let's prepare a surprise for Xu Meng, shall we?"

"Surprise?" Li Liangcai turned his head in confusion.

"What surprise?"
