Chapter 115: Tianlong’s Revenue Blows Up Again

Du Ziteng thought of something and immediately pulled out his phone to call the game studio. He had previously contacted them to buy the Dragon-Slaying Set, and now he wanted to purchase another set of equipment.

After some negotiation—The final price was set at 5,000 yuan per piece. With ten pieces in a set, that totaled 50,000 yuan.

Calculated this way, it was half the price of directly buying the full set for 100,000 yuan.

The only catch—Was that it would take a little time.

As the saying goes, a gentleman’s revenge can wait ten years.

Well, he didn’t have ten years, but he could wait a few days.

…

In a university dormitory—One roommate looked at Duan Mingyuan and asked,“Mingyuan, the National Day break is in a couple of days. Got any plans? Going home?”

“I’m not going home, but I haven’t decided what to do yet,” Duan Mingyuan replied.

“Why don’t we make some money?”

“Make money? You mean like a part-time job?”

“Pfft, how much can you make part-timing? I’m telling you, if we get lucky with this, the four of us could each walk away with ten grand or so, easy.”

The roommate patted his chest as he said it.

“What exactly is it?”
Duan Mingyuan asked, clearly intrigued.

He couldn’t think of anything that profitable.

“Tianlong, farming for gear!”

“Come on, you know how hard it is to get even one Dragon-Slaying piece. You could grind the whole break and still not get a single drop.”

They’d been farming gear in their spare time lately, and not once had a Dragon-Slaying piece dropped.

The roommate quickly clarified,
“Not the Dragon-Slaying Set—the Guyue Set! It’s like the budget version of that 100k VIP gear.”

“Someone already started buying them tonight. 3,000 yuan per piece. Remember the one I got the other day? Tiger got one too—we both sold ours already. Money hit the account instantly.”

As he spoke, he pulled out his phone and showed the transfer record to Duan Mingyuan.

“People are buying that set too?”
Mingyuan looked at the transaction, confused.

“Mingyuan, you haven’t logged in today, have you? Just log in and check the update notes.”

Tiger suddenly chimed in from the side.

Duan Mingyuan opened his laptop and logged in. After reading the update announcement, he finally understood.

The game devs had taken all pay-to-win gear off the shelves.

And since the Dragon-Slaying Set was so hard to get, players had started looking at the slightly inferior Guyue Set.

The Guyue Set was still hard to farm, but if you were willing to grind, there was a chance it’d drop.

Between the four of them, they’d already farmed two pieces just in their spare time.

If they went hard during the seven-day holiday, there was a real shot at getting four or five more drops.

That would be over 10,000 yuan!

“So? You in or what? All four of us, full-on grind mode, and we split the profits evenly.”

The roommate looked at Duan Mingyuan and asked again.

“Tiger, not spending the holiday with your girlfriend?”
Mingyuan asked, turning toward him.

This guy usually went on dates during holidays.

Tiger waved it off.
“Not this time. She’s working on a new fashion design proposal for a brand pitch. No time to hang out.”

“Well then, let’s do it. We’re in.”

Duan Mingyuan didn’t hesitate anymore and agreed on the spot.

“Oh, right—after the update, the only thing left you can pay for in-game is the monthly card, weekly card, and daily card. You have to buy them. They boost drop rates.”

“And they’re cheap too. All three combined only cost 12.1 yuan. If they help you get even one more piece of gear, they’ve more than paid for themselves.”

…

Early morning—

In the clothing factory office.

Chen Mo stared at the system interface, showing 300,000 yuan in system funds, deep in thought.

Yesterday, he’d already instructed the finance department to transfer 1.4 million yuan of system funds to the account specified by Li Maode.

Now there were still 300,000 yuan left in system funds. Tomorrow at noon was the settlement deadline.

Which meant he had to spend that remaining 300k before then.

Looks like he’d have to do something about the celebration banquet.

“Shen Rou, did you book the hotel I asked for?”

“Yes, Mr. Chen, it’s all set. A large banquet hall. The news has already been passed to employees from both companies. The celebration banquet is set for this noon.”

Shen Rou responded quickly.

She was increasingly impressed with Mr. Chen’s boldness. The Dihao Hotel was a five-star hotel in Jiang City, way more upscale than that Xingyu Restaurant from before.

Eating there was definitely going to cost a fortune.

“Good.”

Chen Mo leaned back slightly in his chair, feeling a bit relieved. He hadn’t expected what should’ve been a guaranteed system payout to suddenly run into so many complications.

Thankfully, he’d noticed early enough to adapt in time.

Still—

Spending over 300,000 yuan on a company lunch for less than 90 people? That would take some serious planning.

…

Near noon—

At Cangxue Games.

Fang Chang had already set down his work and headed to the employee area.

“I’m sure you’ve all heard about the celebration banquet Mr. Chen is hosting today. Time and place have been posted in the group. A chartered bus will pick us up shortly—feel free to ride it if you don’t want to drive.”

“One more thing—about the holiday. After today’s banquet, we work one more day tomorrow, and then it’s vacation. And it’s not the usual 7-day break. It’s a 9-day holiday.”

“Whether it’s the banquet or the extended break, this is all Mr. Chen’s doing. I guarantee, you won’t find this kind of treatment anywhere else.”

“So here’s what I want to say—this is a great company and a great opportunity. I hope you all cherish it. Go have fun on your break, enjoy yourselves.”

“But when it’s time to work, I expect full commitment. Mr. Chen might not see your performance directly—but I do.”

“Got that?”

Fang Chang swept his gaze across the room.

“Manager Fang, we get it. If any of my team slacks off or goofs around on the clock, I’ll be the first to call them out.”

The Team 1 leader stood up and declared.

Soon after—

Team leads from other groups stood up to echo their support.

Fang Chang nodded, pleased.

If Mr. Chen had entrusted him with this manager role, then he would take full responsibility. People were naturally prone to laziness.

It was his job to remind them that this opportunity wasn’t easy to come by. If they didn’t value it, there were plenty of people waiting in line.

Only by keeping a sense of urgency alive in the team could they truly appreciate what they had.

“Alright, back to work.”

With that, Fang Chang returned to his office.

Not long after—

Zhao Bowen came rushing in, face full of excitement.

“Fang-ge! Tianlong’s revenue exploded again today!”
