"What did you get?"
Mo Shigui roughly guessed what Boss Yin got. There was probably only one thing that could make this thirty-year-old man so happy these days.
"Lottery ticket," Boss Yin said.
"…"
"I'm not joking around with you. Forget it, it's Holy Ghost's playtime qualification!
Is there champagne in the company?
Hurry up and get a bottle of champagne, the most expensive one! "
Boss Yin shouted at the secretary behind him. At the same time, he was trying his best to control his excited emotions and calm himself down. Boss Yin, Mo Shigui was also a person with good self-control, but he still had to celebrate.
When Boss Yin's secretary went to get the champagne, Mo Shigui received a call from Mama's Barking Dog.
"Tie Zi, ptui … Chairman!
Holy Ghost has a new CG! "Mama's Barking Dog shouted from the phone.
"Got it."
Mo Shigui hung up the phone. Far away, Boss Yin had already waved his hand to let him stay in the conference room for a while.
Mo Shigui had no choice but to walk into the conference room again with a pile of reports. In the conference room, Boss Yin had already projected the image on his laptop onto the whiteboard behind him.
The image on the whiteboard was a small window on Holy Ghost's official website. It was an ordinary window without any decorations, and a line of words was written on it.
'Congratulations on obtaining Holy Ghost's playtime qualification.'
Boss Yin didn't say anything and sat on the chair at the head of the conference room. He took out a pair of sunglasses from the bottom of the conference room and put it on. Then, he took out a cigar from his suit pocket.
"Smoking is prohibited in the company," Mo Shigui said.
"Didn't I order it?"
Boss Yin threw the cigar and sunglasses into the trash can at the side after a short celebration. He originally wanted to wait for his secretary to open the champagne and celebrate before closing the window.
But Boss Yin was also very concerned about what Holy Ghost's new CG was. As a cloud player of Holy Ghost, he was definitely the most virtuous and respected cloud player. Even if he hadn't played Holy Ghost before, he could still talk eloquently on the forums and Weibo.
Today, he had officially left his identity as a cloud player of Holy Ghost and became a new player of Holy Ghost. Moreover, he was also very concerned about the future development of this game created by artificial intelligence.
CG publicity was undoubtedly the best way to show the future development of a game, as well as a small part of the developers' ideas.
Boss Yin opened the new CG uploaded by the Holy Spirit. The name of the CG was "Leap".
"Coach Song, you don't look very happy."
Boss Yin noticed that when Mo Shigui saw the CG, his first reaction was to click his tongue in disgust.
"It's okay. Continue to play." Mo Shigui said.
The reason why Mo Shigui clicked his tongue was that the main character of the CG seemed to be Freya again.
Freya was alone, kneeling beside the ruins of a building covered in moss. Mo Shigui could vaguely recognize the ruins of this building as … a portal built by players to the real world.
Looking at the background behind Freya, she was still on Brandt Island, but not in the Spirit Vein Forest where Holy Spirit was the most active. Instead, she was in the Black Soil Swamp area, which was further away from the Spirit Vein Forest.
This Freya stretched out her hand to wipe off the moss on the ruins of the portal. The CG gave a small close-up of the expression on her face. It was a complex expression that no Freya could make.
After hesitating and hesitating, the expression gradually turned into one of fear and dread.
"Don't you want to see your Holy Spirit?
Hurry up and activate this portal!
He … is in the world behind the portal. "
A threatening voice came from behind Freya. The camera turned, and a group of soldiers in pitch-black heavy armor were standing behind Freya.
Wait … Mo Shigui had seen these soldiers before. During the first Battle of Divinity, the monsters that spawned in the Abyss Hunt were these soldiers!
The Annihilation Legion!
But why would his Freya be captured by the Annihilation Legion … No, this wasn't his Freya.
Mo Shigui quickly recognized that the Freya in the CG was not his. Since the introduction of Freya's Guiding Stone, it was confirmed that every Holy Spirit's Freya was an individual, and would have different personalities depending on the Holy Spirit that followed.
Then whose Freya was this?
Which family's Holy Spirit let their own Freya run around outside and even got caught by others?
Mo Shigui had a lot of questions in his mind.
Maybe it wasn't anyone?
Mo Shigui guessed that this Freya wanted to use the portal … to find her Holy Spirit in the real world. In other words, her Holy Spirit hadn't been online for a long time, or had completely given up?
Impossible, right?
Which psycho would give up on the Holy Spirit game?
But that was how the CG played out.
"I can't do that."
In the end, Freya retracted her hand from the portal in the face of the Annihilation Legion's threat.
"Then you have no value."
The leading soldier of the Annihilation Legion came behind Freya and swung the long sword in his hand down.
Even though Mo Shigui knew that this was not his Freya, he still felt his heart clench.
Especially in the next second, the CG screen suddenly turned black, and was replaced by a heart-stopping sound of flesh tearing and blood gushing out.
Less than two seconds after the sound ended, the darkness was gradually replaced by the effect of pupils slightly opening, and the CG screen turned to Freya's first-person perspective.
When she opened her eyes, she found that the soldier of the Annihilation Legion who wanted to kill her had fallen to the ground, and was replaced by Miss Cat who was standing in front of her.
Miss Cat looked back at her, and without saying a word, she swung the two swords in her hands and killed the other three soldiers of the Annihilation Legion with magnificent swordsmanship.
"Who are you?" Freya asked the Calico cat lady, who was covered in blood, with some unease.
"A friend of the Holy Spirits." As soon as Miss Cat's voice trailed off, Freya shouted, "Be careful!"
One of the Annihilation Legion soldiers was not completely dead. When Miss Cat was not paying attention, he suddenly swung his long sword at her. The camera turned, and the cat head mask flew into the sky.
But two seconds later … Miss Cat had already pierced the chest of the soldier with the two swords in her hands.
From Freya's perspective, she could only see the soldier's back … and the soldier's light blonde hair that fell down. When the Annihilation Legion soldier was completely dead, the head mask that flew into the sky was once again put on by Miss Cat.
"Where are your Holy Spirits?"
Miss Cat walked up to Freya and asked. Freya did not answer, and only lowered her head in silence.
At this time, the CG screen gave a close-up shot of the old portal.
"In the real world of the Holy Spirits?" Miss Cat seemed to have guessed something.
But the next moment … Freya suddenly pulled the corner of Miss Cat's clothes with her hand.
"Please … ask the other Holy Spirits to stop building the portal. The Annihilation Legion, the Annihilation Legion has their eyes on their real world," Freya said in an almost pleading tone.
"Do you think … the Holy Spirits will agree?"
Miss Cat said as she held Freya's hand and pulled her up from the muddy ground. At this time, the CG screen gradually zoomed out and zoomed out.
A title screen appeared: "Holy Spirit Expedition to the Brandt Islands". There was a subtitle under the main title, "The Wish to Go Home".
There was too much information in this cinematic, but Mo Shigui could basically understand the meaning of the cinematic … As for Miss Cat's last question, the bullet screen had explained everything.
"I object to this marriage!"
"I'll kill anyone who stops me from bringing my wife to the real world."
"Don't watch the CG, go online and build the portal!"
"The Holy Spirits … are also releasing an AR version?" After watching the CG, Mr. Yin also understood what the trailer meant.
"I'm not optimistic about the future of the AR version. Although AR games are more mature at this stage, the gameplay is too limited," Mo Shigui said.
"I'm optimistic about it. As for the reason, let's talk about the game first. I've always had an idea about the Holy Spirits game."
Mr. Yin closed the laptop on the conference table. It looked like he was going to use the club's VR equipment.
"Idea?"
"Don't you think Player Zhao from The Sovereign Descends has become a bit stronger recently?" Mr. Yin led the topic in a strange direction.
"Zhao Mingwei?
I just think his condition has become very good, "Mo Shigui answered.
Mo Shigui replied. As a coach, when he watched Zhao Mingwei's recent matches, he only felt that Zhao Mingwei had regained his peak form.
"No, our player has also become stronger," Mr. Yin said as he walked to the door of the conference room.
"Is there …?"
"Coach Song, you didn't notice it because … you're also playing the Holy Spirits. As a cloud player, from what I can see, your fitness has increased so quickly that it's a bit … abnormal."
Mr. Yin pushed open the door of the conference room. The secretary had been waiting outside with a bottle of champagne for a long time. Mr. Yin took the champagne and threw it directly to Mo Shigui.
Mo Shigui was still thinking about what Mr. Yin said. When the bottle of champagne was thrown at him, Mo Shigui almost instinctively wanted to draw his sword and cut the champagne, but he realized that he didn't have a sword in his hand, so the champagne fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
Just as Mo Shigui was about to squat down and clean up the glass shards on the ground, Mr. Yin's shout came from the other side.
"Just think of it as breaking champagne to celebrate!
Let's go, let's go!
Coach Song!
Get online and take me to level up! "Mr. Yin said.
He had no choice but to follow Mr. Yin down the elevator to the player training area below. As an e-sports club … they were naturally equipped with the best VR equipment.
"I believe that VR equipment can help with fitness, but what do you mean by the rapid increase in fitness?" Mo Shigui looked at Mr. Yin, who was wearing the simulation suit and asked.
"Do you have any impression of the term fat otaku?" Mr. Yin asked.
"Yes, ten years ago, it was a self-mocking term used by gamers and some ACG people."
Mo Shigui felt that this term was very old, because in this society, fat otaku were already a very rare and precious creature.
"Twenty years ago, I was … a fat otaku in the truest sense of the word."
Mr. Yin did the warm-up exercises before logging into the game. Now, Mr. Yin's body was so good that it could make countless women scream.
But the other e-sports players' bodies were also explosively good. Because after VR games became popular, playing for a long time required strong physical support. Basically, VR games promoted the concept of fitness for the whole population.
"After I started playing VR games, I didn't have this concept anymore. Moreover, many VR equipment claimed that they could strengthen the body," Mr. Yin said.
"I think that's all fake."
Mo Shigui knew that his players' stamina was honed through specialized training, and the club had specialized fitness facilities.
"Who knows?
Maybe those games weren't able to fully utilize the equipment's … body-strengthening effects?
At least in my opinion, Holy Spirit's game might have done it, but to what extent … we need to experience it for ourselves. "
Mr. Yin threw another helmet to Mo Shigui.
"It's time to take the boss to level up, Coach Song," Mr. Yin said.
