Chapter 90

Seeing Shi Feng walk in, he said thus.

"Who are you?"

Wu Yi was taken aback at first, sizing up Shi Feng with his eyes. Shi Feng was wearing a cheap blue and white tracksuit. Although the aura he exuded made Wu Yi's back chill, the fact that he didn't even have a light brain watch on his wrist made Wu Yi look at him with more disdain. These days, even slightly wealthy students used light brain watches. Wu Yi concluded that Shi Feng was not from a wealthy family and was probably similar to Hei Zi.

"Brother Feng, why did you come?" Hei Zi's expression was somewhat tense, worried that Shi Feng might misunderstand his intention to switch to another studio. "Brother Feng, I really didn't contact You Ying, and I refused them, but Wu Yi keeps pestering me."

Seeing Hei Zi so nervous and explaining, his classmates were puzzled about who this person entering the dormitory was.

No matter how Hei Zi explained, he had already reached level 5 in the Divine Realm, making him a top player. Many studios would likely vie for him, treating him as a VIP. It wasn't just You Ying sending people to persuade him; even the higher-ups at You Ying would probably be very friendly and give him some face.

But the stranger in front of them, whom Hei Zi called Brother Feng, made them curious. Could this person be a celebrity at the school? But they couldn't think of such a figure in the university.

"I know." Shi Feng gave Hei Zi a reassuring look, then turned to the man named Wu Yi and smiled. "I'm Shi Feng, and I'm one of the so-called 'stray cats and dogs' who founded the studio you mentioned. Didn't you want to know the name of the studio?"

"I can tell you. The studio is called Zero Wing, which means starting from zero and spreading our wings to fly. If you have no other business, please leave. Tell your boss not to keep thinking about poaching members from other studios. It's better to focus on your own territory, so you don't end up in pieces without even knowing why."

Hearing Shi Feng say this, Wu Yi couldn't help but sneer and burst into laughter.

"Sure enough, stray cats and dogs can start a studio. Don't you know your own worth? Do you think a studio can just be started on a whim? Don't make me laugh." Wu Yi narrowed his eyes and mocked, "Do you know how big our You Ying studio is? Do you know how many people are in our studio? Do you know who backs our studio? Do you know how much we've invested? Do you really need to poach members from your insignificant studio?"

"Just by looking at the trial helmets you use, it's clear you're dirt poor. Do you think you can make a living in the Divine Realm with just a passion? To establish yourself in the Divine Realm, every studio needs an investment of several million. You have no money, no people, no equipment, not even basic support. What qualifications do you have to compare yourself to our You Ying?"

"Kneel down and beg me now, and maybe I can put in a good word for you with Brother Lan. Maybe we'll spend ten or twenty thousand to buy out your studio. Why don't you consider this opportunity? It's not often you get such a chance." Wu Yi laughed wildly, then shifted his gaze to Hei Zi, sneering, "You Ying sent me to find you, which is a great honor. If you join, you'll be a core member with a guaranteed monthly income of at least 5,000. It's much better than staying in a studio that can't even provide for your basic needs."

The other dorm mates were shocked by this offer. They never imagined that playing the Divine Realm could be so profitable, with an income far higher than that of white-collar workers in the city. Instantly, their looks at Hei Zi changed from disdain to jealousy and admiration.

They still had a few months before graduation and were worried about finding jobs. But Hei Zi was being actively recruited with a guaranteed monthly income of 5,000. It was truly a case of comparing people and feeling inferior...

If they had known, they should have played the game more seriously and tried the Divine Realm. Maybe they could have become experts and spent their four years in college dating girls who would look up to them. If they had earned money, they could have chosen any girl they wanted.

But after hearing this, Hei Zi laughed. Wu Yi dared to mock Shi Feng's studio and belittle it to the point of nothing, even wanting Shi Feng to kneel to join You Ying. He was a complete fool. Brother Feng was someone chosen by the Ice Snow Goddess, who even wanted to recruit him.

Who was the Ice Snow Goddess?

She was the vice president of the top-tier guild, the Devouring Serpent, and a recognized goddess in the virtual gaming world. Compared to the Devouring Serpent, You Ying was nothing.

Hei Zi had long been annoyed by Wu Yi and sneered, "Wu Yi, no matter how you talk, I won't change my mind. Although Zero Wing is just starting, I believe its future achievements will surpass You Ying. I advise you to leave You Ying and join our Zero Wing studio. I'll ask Brother Feng to let you kneel and apologize, and maybe you can become a member of Zero Wing."

Hearing Hei Zi say this, the other dorm mates were stunned. They couldn't figure out which studio was truly the best.

Could it be that these days, studios that can't afford official helmets were the best choice?

"You... You're unreasonable." Wu Yi was almost speechless with anger. He couldn't believe Hei Zi was using his words to mock him. If it weren't for Brother Zhang's instructions to definitely recruit Hei Zi, he would have left long ago. But Hei Zi seemed to have some problem, giving up a bright future to join a worthless studio. "Hei Zi, I'm only giving you a reminder because I value your talent. You Ying is currently merging with a studio ranked 45th in Jinhai City, the Hungry Wolf Studio. Once this is done, You Ying will be a top studio in Jinhai City. If you miss this opportunity, you won't get it again."

Wu Yi glanced at Shi Feng and sneered, "And your studio can't even afford official helmets. How will you play the Divine Realm in the future? It's better to join You Ying with me. A bright future awaits you."

Such blatant poaching, even if Shi Feng had a good temper, he would still be annoyed. Normally, he wouldn't bother with You Ying, but now they were bullying him.

Since a battle was inevitable, let it be!

"Who said our studio can't afford official helmets?" Shi Feng took out 20,000 credit points from his pocket and casually threw them on the table. "I decided to start the studio too suddenly and haven't decided on the type of helmet to buy yet, so I've been using trial helmets. I came here today to buy a high-end helmet for Hei Zi."

"Let me tell you, You Ying, your poaching is too stingy. I give Hei Zi a guaranteed monthly salary of 20,000. You Ying, with all your wealth and investment, only offers 5,000?"

Seeing the white credit points on the desk, Hei Zi looked at Shi Feng in disbelief. No one knew Shi Feng's situation better than he did. How could he suddenly have 20,000 credit points? Did Shi Feng rob a bank?

The other dorm mates, seeing the scattered credit points on the table, swallowed hard.

Hei Zi usually kept a low profile, but now they realized he was a 20,000 monthly earner. No wonder he didn't want to join You Ying. After all, You Ying only offered 5,000, a difference of four times. Even a fool would know which side to choose.

They never imagined that Shi Feng, dressed in cheap tracksuits, was actually a rich guy. It was as if their 24K gold eyes were blinded.
