Chapter 234 - The Pitiful Liu Mingxin
Chapter 234: The Pitiful Liu Mingxin
“This is going to be fun!” After hearing Hong Dali’s explanation, Lin Zixuan laughed loudly. “That will definitely shock the enemy greatly! Brother Dali, this game is interesting, how many levels will we have to level up to be able to play that?”
“You can directly play it.” Hong Dali shook his head around and said, “You will be able to join the fight after registering for an account. Hm, however, since there’s battling, there is a need for grades. Then, let’s just use Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond ranks. Each rank has five levels. Hehe, this will be enough for people to slowly climb up the ranks.”
“Oh, wow!” Lin Zixuan exclaimed. “Then, I will definitely climb all the way to Diamond rank!”
From what Hong Dali said, it already sounded quite interesting.
Simple, brutal, effective.
Just PK, just simply PK. Just register for an account and people can start joining the fight. Furthermore, because of the complicated terrain, strategies would be required. At the side, Tang Muxin’s eyes were shining too. “Dali, will we be able to get gold and experience by killing the small creeps?”
“Yes!” Hong Dali nodded affirmatively. “Killing the small creeps will give experience. The system will also give 2 gold every second. Then, kill the creeps for the experience to level up and use the gold to exchange for equipment. Yup, every hero will have…” Speaking up to this point, he started counting on his fingers. “One, two, three, four, yup, I have decided. There will be four main skills and one passive, coupled with two side skills that the players can choose themselves and a recall to base skill, that’s about it! Out of the four main skills, the first three are small skills that can be leveled up five times. The fourth one is the ultimate which will be very strong and can only be leveled up three times. As for the two side skills and the recall skill, those can’t be leveled up. This way, a character will reach the maximum level once they reach level 18 in the battle!”
“Dali, you have thought it quite thoroughly!” Tang Muxin excitedly pinched Hong Dali’s face. “Did you use all the time in class to think of this? Hehe!”
“Pain, pain!” This time, it was Hong Dali’s turn for his face to become distorted into all kinds of shapes. “Still pinching, be obedient!”
“Hm…” Lin Zixuan suddenly started learning from Hong Dali and touched her chin. “Brother Dali, I suddenly have a really good idea!”
“Huh? What good idea?” Hong Dali felt strange and asked.
“It’s very simple.” Lin Zixuan pouted her mouth towards the room outside. “Those people are all PK lovers. Once this game of yours is released, I will ask them to play with me—they will definitely be very willing! When this game is produced, do you think that it may have a chance to enter E-Sports too?”
Oh? This little lass’s brain is really quite good!
“That’s true!” Hong Dali said in surprise, “I didn’t think of this until you mentioned it!”
“Sigh, Liu Mingxin is really pitiful…” Tang Muxin sighed helplessly. “I finally understand his feeling… Speaking of which, Dali, were you planning to do this since long ago?”
“Hehe.” Li Nianwei covered her mouth and laughed softly. “Young Master’s wisdom isn’t what some ordinary man can imagine. It’s rumored that Liu Mingxin wasn’t able to sleep properly for a few nights because he was thinking about the stuff regarding the E-Sports, but he never imagined that Young Master was actually waiting for him here. Isn’t he considered to be using his own resources to set the foundation for Young Master?”
“It definitely is!” Tang Muxin grinned and added, “Other things aside, at least I know that the PK experts from Draconic Continent will not be able to escape from Dali’s grasp as long as they come to Tianjing for the competition! Just for Dali’s prodigal manner of tipping people, those people will definitely beg to become his follower! Hehe, this way, there will be enough experts. Dali’s popularity has always been very high, once this new game enters the E-Sports event, it will definitely become popular!”
Speaking of which, if Liu Mingxin heard Tang Muxin’s words, his intestines would definitely turn green from regret.
He had calculated everything that he could think of, but he never calculated that Hong Dali would actually create such a thing…
Draconic Continent was currently the most popular online game in the country. It wasn’t an overstatement to say that at least 80% of the gaming experts were all inside this game. Now that they were hosting this E-Sports competition, how could these experts not be tempted!? This was the best chance for them to prove themselves—gaming wasn’t useless, they could earn money through gaming too!
Therefore, numerous gaming experts would be joining the E-Sports competition this time, then they would inevitably become Hong Dali’s followers.
Other things aside, as long as he sat on the Black Tortoise and made an appearance, his popularity would definitely be very high!
Then, the results could already be imagined—those gaming experts would become Hong Dali’s followers, coupled with the help from the large clan [Grand League], he would have all the conditions required for his new game to become popular.
By that time, Liu Mingxin’s face would definitely be quite interesting to look at.
“This…” Hong Dali felt depressed. “Aren’t you all thinking too sinisterly of me? Previously, the reason I did the E-Sports was really just to make my house’s Zixuan happy. This new game is just something I thought of when I was bored…”
“I don’t care, I don’t care!” Tang Muxin stood with her arms akimbo, humphed and said, “I don’t care if you did it intentionally or unintentionally. At least this time, I really caught you red-handed! Hehe! This time isn’t just luck anymore, right?”
This caused Hong Dali to really be unable to explain.
Speaking of which, he was really just strolling around out of boredom today. Then, after they came to Jin Zishan’s studio, it was just nice that he saw a character that looked like Garen and he happened to play League of Legends before…
This really wasn’t his fault! He really didn’t plot this from the start at all!
“Fine, consider this to be unrelated to luck then…” Hong Dali sniffled. “But the problem is, the game is still nowhere to be seen now, aren’t you being excited a bit too early. This is really similar to that phrase.”
“Which phrase?” Tang Muxin asked.
Hong Dali opened his hands upwards and shrugged. “I’m going to eat some vinegar tonight, can I borrow some crab to go with it?”
Everyone instantly collapsed to the floor laughing.
“OK, let’s not do this trivial chat anymore. Let’s go out and walk around!” Hong Dali stretched his waist. It’s really a happy day today. Although I didn’t manage to do the comics, I created this Dream Dota League. Once this game is produced, I will have something to enjoy next time, haha.
Now that everything was settled here, they went out and strolled about.
Recently, Lin Zixuan was always here gaming and had yet to sit on the Black Tortoise. Hearing that Hong Dali was going out, she hurriedly pulled his sleeve and pitifully said, “Brother Dali, can I go too?”
“Sure, everyone shall go together, all together!” With Big Turtle’s size, sitting four or five people on it didn’t really make any difference for it. Furthermore, Lin Zixuan was very slim, it didn’t matter if she joined too.
They packed up and went down. Unexpectedly, when they just reached the first-floor lobby, Hong Dali saw Director Lin Hao bringing a golden-haired and green-eyed handsome foreigner and a translator into the lobby.
Upon seeing Hong Dali, Lin Hao hurriedly walked up and introduced them to him. “Oh my, Young Master, luckily I came here in time. Haha, quick, come, let me introduce you to my good friend!” As he said so, he pulled Hong Dali’s hand and walked outwards. Once they walked in front of the handsome foreigner, he hurriedly introduced. “This is my good friend James.” Then, he pointed to Hong Dali. “This is the Young Master I frequently talked to you about!”
This was, after all, Lin Hao’s friend. For Lin Hao’s sake, Hong Dali instantly stretched out his hand, smiled and said, “Hello, hello. My name is Hong Dali, nice to meet you.”
James just shook his hand symbolically and instantly drew it back. Then, he took out a handkerchief from his shirt pocket and wiped his hand. This caused Hong Dali to feel very unhappy.
Is my hand dirty or something!?
Seeing James’ action, the rest of the people standing behind Hong Dali was very unhappy too. Tang Muxin humphed heavily, Li Nianwei frowned, and the nine lackeys were thought, This foreigner is asking for death, does he know who Young Master is?
Lin Hao saw the atmosphere was a bit tense and hurriedly tried to smooth the tension. He softly said, “Young Master, this James has a bit of Misophobia, please don’t take it to heart.”
Misophobia? That’s quite normal. Hong Dali wasn’t that narrow-minded. He felt strange and asked, “What does he do? You said that he is your friend, is he in the filming industry too? Director? Producer? Screenwriter?”
“Young Master, your eyes are really sharp!” Lin Hao said in a low voice. “This fellow is a well-known Director from Merika’s Hollywood. The big hits in the past few years, ‘Seeker’ and ‘The Story of Jonathan,’ were both his works. He’s one of the leading directors in the entire world. I said that he was my good friend, but I was just overstating myself.”
“Oh—” Hong Dali “oh-ed” for a long time, then said, “I have never seen them…”
“Oh my, my Young Master, it doesn’t matter that you have never seen them. However, today is a good chance.” Saying so, Lin Hao turned around and smiled flatteringly at Thomas. “Mr. James, let me speak a few words with Young Master.” The translator at the side hurriedly translated it to English.
James nodded and didn’t even look at Lin Hao. “OK.”
Tang Muxin angrily said, “What is he so cocky about, humph!” At her side, Li Nianwei slightly pulled her, softly smiled and said, “Be patient, Young Master is here, we won’t be disadvantaged.”
Only then did Tang Muxin’s mood got better. She grinned and said, “Yup, looks like this guy is going to be unfortunate, hehe.”
At this time, Lin Hao continued to inform Hong Dali about James’ past achievements. “This James isn’t an ordinary person, he is one of the top well-known directors in Hollywood. Don’t see that he is not even 30 years old, his family background is quite good, and he is also talented. In Hollywood, everyone has to show him some respect. Young Master, I’m not sure if you intend to develop your business in the filming industry, but if you do, you definitely mustn’t offend him. If not, it will be hard for your movies to enter Merika!”
“Oh, this fellow is so awesome!” Hong Dali was a bit surprised. “Yup, looks like he is indeed quite capable. Is he a prodigal too?”
“He…” Lin Hao almost choked from Hong Dali’s words. He said depressingly, “He genuinely graduated from New York Film Academy, he definitely has the knowledge and skills of a director!”
