Chapter 29

The video of the legendary Chinese hero Blood Sea Rampage being killed to level 0 by a regular spearman has shocked the eyes of tens of thousands of players on the forum.

Although exposing one's own ugliness is not Blood Sea Rampage's style, in this day and age, the fastest and most effective way to become famous, especially internationally, is to expose one's flaws. After all, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news spreads a thousand miles. Fame is beneficial for the newly established Blood Sea Studio to quickly gain recognition and is also advantageous for striking at enemies.

After learning about Blood Sea Rampage's encounter, his three close brothers, who had just bought accounts and joined the game, realized how much had happened in just one day. What kind of expression should they use to face this?

In any case, even the Hero News program team made a rapid response to this sensational incident, after all, Hero News always stands at the forefront of fashion.

Host: "Hello, dear players. Now we are broadcasting a breaking news report. A very regrettable PK incident has occurred in the Chinese server, which has also had some negative impact on the international image of Chinese players. Here, we will again connect by phone with Captain Jiang of the Starlight Team to answer questions about the paralyzing toxin that players are interested in—Hello! Captain Jiang, how are you?"

Captain Jiang: "Hello, host, hello, dear players."

Host: "From the video and battle records provided by the parties involved, this paralyzing toxin has the ability to interrupt the opponent's actions. Does this mean that enemies with slow attack speeds will never be able to attack?"

Captain Jiang: "Taking the spearman of the player Big Fei as an example, the spearman's attack speed is 10. Theoretically, as long as the enemy's attack speed is below 5, meaning they can't attack even after being hit twice, this situation will indeed prevent them from ever attacking. This is indeed a very bizarre weapon enchantment. However, the attack speed of zombies in the game is 6, and it's already difficult to find a slower unit than zombies, so the situation where an enemy can never attack is still very rare."

Host: "But in a battle, interrupting the opponent even once can often decide the outcome, right?"

Captain Jiang nodded: "That's correct. However, it can be confirmed that this paralyzing toxin is a very rare weapon enchantment and cannot be mass-equipped to troops, so its impact on large-scale battles is still limited. Players don't need to worry; whether it's the zombie's poison or other toxin damage, as long as players equip items with poison resistance, they can effectively guard against the special effects of toxins. Poison resistance items can be enchanted at the alchemy guild in the main city."

...

Tulong Network Entertainment Company, one of the three major e-sports clubs in China and the headquarters of the Tulong Guild, one of the three major online gaming guilds in China.

At this moment, the company's chairman, Ma Yinglong, was frowning as he watched this episode of Hero News, looking very depressed.

"Starlight! Starlight! Asking Starlight about such a trivial matter! All day long, it's just Starlight!" His assistant, Chang Liang, said disdainfully, "It's only been four days since the server opened, and it's not certain whether they can be the first to establish a guild in the game. Don't worry, big brother, we need to level up faster and secure the first guild in the Chinese server."

Ma Yinglong nodded: "That's right. So this time, we must spare no effort to be the first to establish a guild. This game is different from previous ones; it's a world-class game. Whoever is the first to establish a guild represents the international image, which is crucial for the interests of the company and the guild. We must go all out this time."

Chang Liang nodded: "Don't worry, big brother. By the way, Blood Sea Rampage seems promising. Should we try to recruit him?"

Ma Yinglong said calmly: "If he's willing to come, that's best. At the very least, we should maintain a cooperative relationship."

Chang Liang immediately said: "Okay, I'll instruct the team, no, I'll personally try to contact him."

Ma Yinglong smiled: "That's a lot of trouble for you."

Ma Yinglong, the president of the Tulong Guild, with the in-game ID Dragon Scale, has not played games for many years, focusing on company operations. Chang Liang, Ma Yinglong's successor and the top player of the Tulong Guild, with the in-game ID Dragon Tooth, is a famous professional e-sports player in China.

This episode of Hero News stirred up unpleasant, indeed very painful, memories for him.

Big Fei! A name that made him grind his teeth in hatred! There are many people with the same name online, and it's impossible to verify whether this Big Fei is the same as the one from the past. However, it was precisely this scoundrel who undermined the Tulong Guild's status as the top guild, allowing Starlight and Ninth Heaven to rise and form the current tripartite structure of the three major online gaming guilds in the Chinese server. Now, Starlight has surpassed Tulong in various aspects and is becoming the top player guild in the Chinese server.

Many years ago, Ma Yinglong was just a teenager who skipped school to stay up all night in internet cafes. He was passionate about online games, not only with top-tier skills but also with strong tactical awareness and voice command abilities, which helped him gather his first group of loyal friends. At that time, they formed gold farming teams to sell equipment and made a good living.

Playing the games he loved and earning several times more than a regular job, where else could you find such a good deal? The answer was to join Brother Dragon's team!

Thus, Ma Yinglong's offline elite team, the Tulong Guild, officially established its website. Whenever a game was fun and had business potential, their team would enter it. The guild's scale grew larger, and more offline branches were established, to the point where the presence or absence of the Tulong Guild became a barometer of a game's popularity, even determining the life or death of a game!

Playing games to this level brought huge profits. The Tulong Guild became an object of flattery and courtship by major game companies, far surpassing the level of just farming gold and selling equipment.

Then, one year, a game called "Dominion" was released, and the Tulong Guild was heavily invited by the game company to enter the game.

It was also that year that the Tulong Guild encountered a scoundrel named Big Fei. At first, he stole the boss-level pet tiger from the guild leader Dragon Scale in the newbie village, then acted arrogantly, and the Tulong Guild dispatched some lower-level members to hunt him down, but this scoundrel was relentless.

Then, to be the first to establish a guild in the game, the Tulong Guild, with members generally lacking in level, forcibly killed a boss to try to obtain the guild order. At the most critical moment of the battle, the scoundrel Big Fei suddenly appeared, wiping out the entire team and stealing the nearly dead boss, taking the guild order. The most infuriating part was that this scoundrel actually registered the guild name "Tulong"!

Losing their trademark was a huge joke, severely damaging the Tulong Guild's reputation.

To salvage their reputation, Dragon Scale endured humiliation and sent people to privately negotiate with Big Fei, offering to buy back the guild, but Big Fei was impossible to communicate with! He didn't believe the Tulong Guild's sincerity! Not only that, he escalated the situation, recruiting scoundrels and troublemakers from the entire server to join the guild, PKing everywhere, and tarnishing the Tulong Guild's reputation under the guise of curing internet addiction, disrupting the game's atmosphere.

In the end, the game "Dominion" failed, and the Tulong Guild declined from its peak. Starlight and Ninth Heaven rose, and the tripartite structure was formed.

Running a business is not the same as playing games. Making a mistake in a boss fight just means respawning and trying again, but making a mistake in business means one wrong step can lead to a series of wrong steps.

After that incident, Ma Yinglong became more cautious and mature. Mistakes can make a person grow.

Now, with a game like Hero Genesis, which is international, it is even more significant. This time, the Tulong Guild must unite all possible forces and strive to reach the peak again!

While he was deep in thought, his secretary appeared and whispered in his ear: "Boss, President Igarashi wants to meet you in person to discuss matters."

Ma Yinglong frowned and then sighed: "Alright, arrange a time. I'm always available. Make sure to keep it highly confidential, even Chang Liang shouldn't know."

"Understood."
