The Boss Behind The Game

Chapter 70

The third day of the new year was finally the day when Lu Wu would regain what he had given.

Just as he had expected, as a result of the once in a blue moon full discount, tons of players who had been reluctant at first had all relentlessly changed their equipment or bought whatever they needed.

Lu Wu’s soul coins were finally back to their original amount.

This time the New Year’s Day event had brought great enjoyment to the players and thus it created a great deal of feedback as well.

Though due to players’ crave for top-ups, Lu Wu finally answered their calls in the forum and got ready to open up the top-up portal.

[Update preview. This update will open the top-up portal. All top-ups ratio will be 1 dollar : 1 dragon coin. All dragon coins can be used to buy beautiful outfits after the upcoming Fashion Auction Event!]

Fashion Auction: Three sets of fashion outfits will be presented for the auction every week using dragon coins as the bidding currency. Each outfit for each auction is limited to only 1,000 sets.

Invincible Loneliness: “Smile gradually freezing… What the heck are dragon coins? What about my soul coins?”

Cutest Ye Xue’er: “Report your addresses, time to embrace your execution you devs!”

Crayon_Sinchan: “So happy to see how all the tycoons want it but are not able to get it (goofy)”

Assasin_Creed: “I want soul coins. I don’t care, I only want soul coins!”

Xueli_The_Srongest: “Devs: In spite of your voodoo, I remain unmoving like a mountain while suppressing everything with my bare hands. How dare you mortals defy the game masters. Have youThis is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

seen the submerging Taowu? Would you believe me if I said that with just a few clicks of the keyboard I can pinch it to death?”

Crayon_Sinchan replied to Xueli_The_Srongest: “Legit!”

……

Lu Wu understood the reason for the players’ grumblings about the top-up, but he simply did not have such a huge amount of soul coins for them to exhaust.

If he was to really initiate the top-up, he believed that his soul coins might be bought up by the players in a matter of less than ten seconds.

Lu Wu totally acknowledged the tycoons in the game. Players like Invincible Loneliness, Ye Xue’er, Liu Chai of the Demolition Officers, etc, each and everyone of them were lords of wealth.

Therefore, the passageway of soul coins top-up will never be up for grabs, not until he has made a fortune, at least.

What’s more is that those soul coins are of great use for Lu Wu. Every part of the game’s construction needs the soul coins, but of course, his expenditures are to enhance the earnings of soul coins whilst cultivating the capability of the players.

It was at this moment when Lu Wu reminisced the good old days of the war between the players and the Cha Na Army. It was through the destruction of the Cha Na Army that Lu Wu earned a great deal of soul coins.

Fueling war with battles will be the greatest way for the players and Lu Wu to learn and grow. He had already aimed his target at all the areas surrounding the Mansion of the Dead; ready to disclose the exploration mission again.

……

As the curtains were drawn on the New Year’s Day event, all the players were once again on the new journey of becoming stronger.

Though this time around, the players had many more choices to choose from.

Expansion of the sea, evolution of fortitude of the land, duplication of Treasure Hunt, etc, the diversity and playability of the game was slowly increasing alongside each update.

……

Meanwhile, at the region of the Cliffs of Desperation.

Gu Yu (Invincible_Loneliness) was with Sun Qi; a man and a hound preparing to climb to the highest peak in this area.

Ever since the climb up the snow mountain, Gu Yu fell in love with the feeling of challenging mother nature. He felt that conquering them created a sense of great accomplishment in him, hence this time he chose to take a shot at the much more treacherous Cliffs of Desperation.

As for why he brought Sun Qi along, the reason was of course because Sun Qi had the ability to regenerate vitality points. He would be a great support if they ever encountered any wild monsters along the way.

Sun Qi opposed Gu Yu’s proposal at first.

Why look for trouble when they hadn’t even finished tasting the miseries of life itself? To Sun Qi, this was totally how rich people would act when they don’t have anything else better to do.

However, this firm attitude of his instantaneously changed when Gu Yu flung a stack of cash in front of him. Immediately, he wanted to follow, and that he actually likes mountain climbing, too!

Thus, a man and a dog came to the mountains of the Cliffs of Desperation.

This climb was different from all the previous ones as it was much more troublesome throughout the climb, for in the Cliffs of Desperation, an abundance of monsters awaited them.

Still, everytime Gu Yu got injured, Sun Qi would help him recover by donating some of his blood to him, with a long face that is.

Both had climbed for approximately three hours, but when they looked up, the peak of the Cliffs of Desperation was still nowhere to be seen, and the end was still heavily covered by the clouds.

Initially both of them wanted to continue their climb, but it was at that moment when Sun Qi’s nose twitched and it said,

“Boss, there’s a scent of wine here!”

Naturally Sun Qi’s ability to express was liberated by Lu Wu, reason being this guy here kept on whining in the forum just because he couldn’t speak. Finding him funny yet annoying, Lu Wu eventually allowed Bei Li to change the settings, allowing him to voice out like the others.

Hearing his remark, Gu Yu stood stiff and inspected their surroundings.

“Follow me!” Sun Qi’s lightly scrunched its nose and ran toward a flat ground around the mountain.

Seeing that, Gu Yu followed its footsteps.

Halfway around the mountain, both of them swiftly stopped in their tracks. To their surprise, there was actually a wooden cabin not far away and what’s more was that there was a vague bonfire-like shadow emitting from the inside.

A man and a dog glanced at each other before walking toward the cabin together.

The two surveyed the outskirts of the cabin. After they made sure that they were free from danger, Gu Yu raised his hand and knocked on the wooden door,

“Is anyone here?”

No one answered, and this made Gu Yu a little curious. Just when he was about to make his way in, the door creaked open.

A shaggy, white-haired elderly man with squinted eyes popped his head out and blurted, “Need something?”

“Uh, may I ask you about the Cliffs of Desperation?” Gu Yu uttered after a brief consideration while at the same time wondering why would this old man settle down here.

“Ask,” said the white-haired old man faintly.

“Aren’t you going to invite me in?”

Sun Qi’s sudden speech startled the white-haired old man, thus he exclaimed, “Fuck, you have a talking dog? Was he demonized?”

They were dumbfounded.

After discreetly holding down Sun Qi who was at the verge of leaping and chomping someone, Gu Yu blurted out, “Old man, I am curious about the reason why you are living here. Also, how high are these

Cliffs of Desperation? I want to climb to the crest and take a look.”

“The crest? With your skimpy body and a dog, you want to climb to the top? Forget it!” insulted the white-haired old man.

If it wasn’t for Sun Yu yanking him backwards, Gu Yu would have almost lost it due to the white-haired old man’s sharp tongue. No matter what, he needed to teach this white-haired old man a lesson.

Just when Gu Yu was about to say something, the white-haired old man leaned sideways, indicating that the two may come in.

Both of them were confused but they still went in anyway.

The interior of the cabin was plain. There was a wooden table and a wooden bed. There were kerosene lamps on top of the wooden table and all around the cabin. Rusty iron pieces were scattered all over the floor, complemented with a hint of alcohol which permeated the whole cabin.

Having only a chair in the cabin, the white-haired old man signaled the both of them to sit on the wooden bed. Then, he turned, stepped into another room and brought out two glasses of fragrant fruit wine.

The two of them took the wine before Gu Yu asked, “Why did you say that we can’t climb to the top of the Cliffs of Desperation? Is there any danger?”

Hearing the question, the white-haired old man’s face turned solemn.

Thinking that the white-haired old man might reveal to him about the myths of the Cliffs of Despair, his expression gradually mimicked the old man’s.

“Fuck, the way your dog drinks is really human-like…”

Gu Yu looked over to Sun Qi and realized that he had already helped itself on the wine, followed with a hint of crimson on its cheeks. Yet after hearing the white-haired old man’s words, Sun Qi’s expression instantaneously became hostile.

Once again Gu Yu quietly suppressed the bared fangs of the ready-to-pounce Sun Qi and gravely asked again,

“Do you mind giving us some useful information?”
