Chapter 54 Landing and Getting Killed
The public opinion storm has come to an end.
The company is getting busier and busier.
The highly anticipated film "Asking the Immortals" has been officially announced, and preparations are underway at a rapid pace.
Among the many complex tasks, recruiting actors for the training base is just one part; the majority involves business connections.
Various brands flocked from all directions, seemingly recognizing the massive traffic behind group broadcasts and wanting to achieve brand promotion through sponsorship.
Many professionals from other entertainment companies in the industry also came here drawn by the rumors.
In no time, the company's doorstep was practically worn down by the crowds.
Fortunately, Jingye took care of all the coordination matters, and the company's various affairs proceeded in an orderly manner, giving Baili a lot of free time. Unless it was an extremely important decision, Baili generally did not need to step in to handle things.
Thank you, quiet night. Amen.
At this moment, Bai Li was leisurely nestled in the spacious and soft queen chair in the room, holding a cup of fragrant tea in her hands, her eyes slightly closed, basking in the warm sunshine.
On one side was an old CD player, spinning smoothly and playing soothing music.
Bai Li took a sip of tea, let out a soft sigh, and couldn't help but sigh that deep down she was ultimately a homebody who preferred quiet.
The thought of having to engage in insincere and back-and-forth social interactions with those old foxes in the business world made my head spin. I'd better leave it to Jingye.
However, a question suddenly popped into Bai Li's mind. The house seemed unusually quiet lately. Why hadn't she run into the two little ones, Shi Shui and Shi Hua, at home?
The maid said that the two of them went out recently. They seem to be going out a lot lately, but no one knows where they go.
Such a big house, yet it's completely empty, with only myself and a large group of artificial intelligence.
While feeling bored, Bai Li suddenly remembered that she had previously drawn a huge amount of game points from the Wheel of Fortune.
—A total of 100 million game points.
It's still lying quietly inside the Wheel of Fortune, completely still.
This isn't your average game card; it's a universal game card that can be used in any game and is compatible with all games on the market.
If you play online games, you can use this to acquire a set of cool and dazzling top-tier equipment that others will envy, and instantly become a popular figure on the server.
Log in to the Steam platform, and you can easily add those well-made indie games to your collection;
Even in those pay-to-win gacha games, ten or even a hundred pulls are no problem; you might just graduate from the game in no time.
I initially thought 100 million game points was too much, that I wouldn't be able to use them all, but now that I think about the "spending spree" in the gaming world, I suddenly feel that 100 million seems a bit too little, not enough.
Take CSGO, a classic shooting game, for example; the level of "spending money" in the community is insane.
A rare gun skin in slightly better condition can easily fetch tens of thousands of dollars; those limited editions and rare items are even more priceless, and it's not uncommon for them to sell for millions of dollars.
Unfortunately, Bai Li doesn't know how to play CS:GO; she only knows a little PUBG.
PUBG, also known as PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, is a battle royale multiplayer online shooter game that has become a global phenomenon.
Each game features up to 100 players who board a plane and enter the game map. After landing, players need to collect supplies and equip themselves. While avoiding the poison circle, they fight against other players, eliminating opponents through shooting, melee combat, and other means until only one person or team remains, which is considered a victory, commonly known as "chicken dinner".
When PUBG was first released, it became a global phenomenon. In internet cafes across the country, if the screen of any computer wasn't showing the League of Legends interface, it was basically playing PUBG.
Players stayed up all night, neglecting sleep and meals, immersed in the hail of bullets and thrilling battles, all for the chance to win "Winner Winner Chicken Dinner".
Bai Li also tried playing for a while, barely qualifying as a beginner player. Later, she ran out of money and time, so she quit.
Bai Li remembers when she first started playing PUBG, the character designs in PUBG were very simple.
In recent years, after the base game became free, the operating strategy of the developers changed. Just like "Honor of Kings", they release a new wave of skins every now and then.
Not only are there various styles of dresses, but also many cool equipment skins. The variety and exquisite design are dazzling and exciting.
Even more outrageous is that PUBG has collaborations with celebrities, including matching outfits and dance moves.
"It looks great." Bai Li looked at the dazzling array of skins and kept muttering, "This one looks good, that one looks good too."
My fingers unconsciously clicked the mouse lightly.
"Buy it! We absolutely have to buy this!"
"Oh, that one is nice too, it would be a shame not to buy it!"
By the time Bai Li realized what was happening, her 100 million points had been almost entirely squandered.
Good heavens! PUBG! It's a terrible game!
Free games are just a beautiful lie!
They lure people in with a free base game to spend money on in-game purchases, right?
Excellent! What a brilliant tactic of luring the enemy into a trap!
Although Bai Li complained, she was still very satisfied with the stylish and beautiful game character she had dressed up.
Her entire body is covered in the most expensive and fashionable skins available right now, making her radiant and exuding an air of wealth. She's the kind of person who would be called a "rich woman" by her teammates as soon as she enters the game.
Just thinking about it makes Bai Li feel extremely satisfied with her vanity.
Unfortunately, the weather wasn't cooperating, and my teammates wouldn't turn on their microphones. All that money I spent on game points to buy equipment and skins was just a waste of time and energy.
Moreover, no matter how beautifully you dress, you can't escape being shot in the head. On the contrary, because you're dressed too much and too brightly, you stand out even more.
Bai Li, who was eliminated four times in ten minutes, was mentally broken.
"What's going on? I haven't played for years, and the game has gotten harder? Are there cheaters everywhere now, making it impossible for ordinary people to play?"
Bai Li grew angrier the more she thought about it, and her face turned red.
"This game is trash! Give me back my game points!"
Despite her complaints, Bai Li had already spent the game points, and she was unwilling to give up, so she wanted to struggle a little longer.
It's definitely not because I'm bad; it must be related to my teammates. They're the ones who dragged me down!
That being the case...
Bai Li's eyes lit up; she had an idea.
Can't I order a gaming companion? I'll just place an order and find three tough guys to play with me. I don't believe I'll still get eliminated as soon as I land.
Bai Li quickly downloaded a companion gaming app and started browsing through the options.
While we're at it, let's ask Xiaohao about the looks of each gaming companion.
Bai Li had a pretty good idea: she wanted someone who was both skilled at playing games and good-looking.
That way, you can enjoy playing games and gain favor at the same time, which would be perfect.
Before long, Xiao Hao actually found a gaming companion with a 94-point looks score and a KD of 6.2.
Isn't the price for this companion service a bit outrageous?
RMB/hour.
You mean Duo Shao?
