Chapter 335: The Duel, Begins!

The word "game" on Earth does not just refer to those modern video games.

Including board and card games, children playing house, statues, hide-and-seek, and even flipping discs, all count as a type of game.

Their common point is that the people participating in the game can obtain the pleasure they want to obtain from the game.

And it is precisely because they feel it is interesting, or feel happy and satisfied, that these positive feedback emotions support people in wanting to play all kinds of games.

Thinking about it this way, pleasure and games seem to go quite well together.

How should I put it, God of Pleasure and Chaos and Games?

Uh, this name doesn't sound very good.

God of Games and Chaos Pleasure? Ah, no, just delete the two words "Chaos".

Just call it God of Games and Pleasure? Hmm? Wait, a name suddenly jumped out from the bottom of Yun Mu's heart.

The Chaos God who governs pleasure and games, that also seems pretty good.

But then again, if the Joy God really intends to become the God of Games, wouldn't the things she previously discussed with the head of the Fire Weaver Bird Family be very bad? Competing with a deity for the gaming market or something, it sounds like a very bad situation.

Besides, the technical level of the company Huan Yu Hu Le, just the Old Days Front alone could leave her eighteen streets behind. If all the games behind it are released, will she still have any soup to drink? Damn it, is her plan for a gaming empire going to end before it even begins? I don't want that to happen! "How do you feel, Miss Yun?" After wandering around the company of Huan Yu Hu Le, Airui Laya asked Yun Mu.

"Hmm? Oh, oh, I think it's quite good." Hearing her words, Yun Mu replied somewhat absent-mindedly.

Good my foot, her gaming empire, sob sob.

"Is that so? To be able to get your affirmation, it seems these projects we produced finally have some value." Airui Laya seemed not to notice Yun Mu's distraction, and she said slowly:

"Miss Yun, are you interested in serving as our game consultant?"

"Mm-hmm, I think... Hmm?!"

"What did you just say?" Yun Mu was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly reacted.

Did she hear wrong just now? What did she want her to do? "Hehe." Airui Laya looked at her like this, but didn't seem angry at all. She chuckled: "I said, Miss Yun, are you interested in serving as our company's game consultant?"

"Game consultant... what is that for?" Yun Mu asked with some curiosity.

She didn't notice at all that Airui Laya had said the word "game" without any concealment.

"Simply put, it's to play-test our game products and then offer us opinions or something."

"Or guide our company's employees in making games."

"As for the compensation, how about 300 Gold Frost Coins per month?"

"You don't need to come to work usually, just answer some questions when we have needs, and test the games."

Airui Laya's words seemed to contain some kind of Magic, making Yun Mu unable to help but sink into it.

Of course, the other party didn't use any Supernatural power to lure her; it was just that the compensation was truly too Seductive.

Three hundred Gold Frost per month, eleven months a year, that's an annual income of three thousand three hundred Gold Frost! Three thousand Gold Frost could buy two ships the size of the Xiangyang! And you don't have to go to work usually, you only need to experience the game when necessary and offer some opinions.

She wanted to refuse, but it was a pity that the other party gave too much.

So... "I refuse."

Hmph, the thing I, Yun, like to do most in my life is to say no to those who think they are so smart!

Is having a little dirty money so amazing? Trying to lure me with just this, you are looking down on people too much! Ahem, all of the above is nonsense. The real reason is actually, "Sorry, we won't be staying in the Federation for too long, so let's leave this job to someone else," she said.

Actually, besides this reason, there was another reason for Yun Mu's refusal, and that was that the businesses the head of the Fire Weaver Bird Family gave her were already profitable enough for her.

What's more, she was already a boss, and she was going to work for Pleasure? Did she not want face? Who would go work for others when they could be a boss? Would a decent person do that?

Definitely not.

So she naturally refused righteously.

"That's true, what a pity." Airui Laya shook her head with a regretful tone.

But the next second, she changed the subject and said, "Then would you like to cooperate with us?"

"Cooperate?"

"How to cooperate?"

Yun Mu raised her eyebrows, wanting to hear her ideas.

"The content of the cooperation is very simple."

Airui Laya stopped walking at this time, turned to look at Yun Mu, and snapped her fingers.

"You only need to be responsible for providing ideas, or specific game content, and then we will produce the game you want. As for the split, how about 30% of the profits?"

"Hiss, if it's like this..." Yun Mu lowered her head and pondered.

"Is it really okay to agree to that guy?"

On the way back, Lita couldn't help but ask Yun Mu.

"What could be the problem?" Yun Mu asked back.

She was originally an amateur game developer; letting her make games by herself was definitely a lost cause.

After all, there are too many elements in a game; even if she wanted to copy, she couldn't copy them all.

Since that's the case, it's better to hand over her thoughts and ideas to others, and then just lie down and collect money.

The technical level of Huan Yu Hu Le is very strong, and there is a Joy God behind it who knows very well how to make people feel happy; there is no reason they wouldn't make good games.

Yun Mu could even imagine a scene.

Airui Laya: "Boss, our game is finished!"

Vikala (God of Pleasure and Chaos): "Oh, so fast, let me take a look."

Vikala: "What kind of trash is this? It's not fun at all, throw it back and redo it!"

Airui Laya: "Okay, boss!"

Ahem, all of the above is just her imagination; she definitely couldn't guess what the facts were.

Anyway, you all understand what she means.

"That subordinate of the Joy God is clearly prepared; before Miss Yun agrees, she won't let us go so easily," Brenna, who was on the side, said softly at this time.

"From the moment she immediately proposed a cooperation request after Miss Yun refused the first time, the outcome was actually already destined." "However," Brenna said with some confusion: "Why are they so certain that Miss Yun can make a good game?"

"Uh, well," Yun Mu scratched her cheek with a guilty conscience: "Perhaps it's because they discovered my earth-shattering talent."

"Is that how this word is used?" Xiliya muttered softly from the side.

"Ha, haha." Iliyasi gave two dry laughs beside her.

"Eh, wait." Lita suddenly thought of something at this moment, and she said: "Since that Faceless Fool has already made up their mind to make Miss Yun agree."

"If one were to refuse at that time, would it be possible to obtain more benefits?"

"Hmm!?" Yun Mu looked at her with great surprise: "You aren't Lita, who are you!?"

"The Lita I know isn't this smart!"

"Hey!" Lita looked at her with some dissatisfaction: "I just usually can't be bothered to think that much, okay?"

"Hehehe." Brenna chuckled on the side. After laughing for a while, she slowly spoke: "Being too greedy isn't a good thing either, but Lita is right. If it were me, I probably would have refused once first."

"Hmph, hindsight is 20/20. Why didn't you say that when Airui Laya asked me back then?" Yun Mu pretended to be in a sulky mood and pouted as she spoke.

"Alright, alright, I didn't mean anything bad by it~" Brenna immediately comforted her.

Hehehe, Miss Yun pretending to be angry is also very cute.

Brenna thought this in her heart.

"Hmph, I forgive you."

Yun Mu said with some embarrassment; she always felt that doing this was a bit like an anime character, so shameful.

But although it was very shameful, why was she inexplicably a bit excited?

"Ahem, anyway, let's go back." She suggested with a slightly red face and a light cough.

"Okay."

"Then let's go back."

"Mm-hmm, I feel a bit tired too."

Hearing her words, the others all agreed one after another.

Just like that, after some laughter and chatter, they returned to the Old Residence of Iliyasi's family.

Yun Mu indicated that she had something to do, so she returned to her room alone and took out the wooden box containing the Meteor Fragment.

Just on the way back, she suddenly felt a certain throbbing coming from inside the box.

But that throbbing quickly disappeared. At this moment, she took it out just to see if there were any changes to the fragment inside the wooden box.

"Hmm."

Still the same as before, no changes.

Opening the wooden box, Yun Mu looked at the dark crystal inside and thought.

As early as two days ago, she had already checked this item.

Through the inquiry of the Game Panel, this thing was indeed a Meteor Fragment, no mistake.

As for its specific ability... well, it had no ability.

It was just that simply carrying this thing would cause one's health points to be constantly stolen.

It had almost no effect on her, so she just carried it on her person.

As for how Iliyasi's father transferred the life force absorbed by the fragment to Iliyasi's mother, she was not clear.

That should have been some kind of Ritual the other party learned overseas.

Thanks to that Ritual, the power within the Meteor Fragment was even weaker. Coupled with it being kept in the old warehouse of the Fire Weaver Bird Family and forbidden for anyone to touch, the power of this fragment became increasingly hollow.

It was not until recently, when Yun Mu wore it on her person, that it gradually began to emit a faint radiance.

Hmm, these details were what she saw in the final description text of the Meteor Fragment.

As for the other Meteor Fragment that Edward gave her... how should she put it, the content was very concerning.

First, that fragment did not have the ability to absorb others' life force; second, and this was the most important point.

According to the text description of the Game Panel, there was a soul sleeping inside that fragment! When it would wake up was unclear, but there was indeed a soul sleeping inside.

It was absurd. The moment Yun Mu saw it, she was thinking, could this be some kind of sleeping old grandfather?

Or perhaps some kind of old monster.

Speaking of which, when she took both fragments out, there were signs that the fragments wanted to fuse together at the time.

However, because she didn't know what the consequences would be, she interrupted it—the method was very simple, just grab it with your hand, there was no danger.

Since then, she had always kept the fragments stored separately in two wooden boxes.

Perhaps after returning to the Frost Kingdom, she could go and ask the Lady of Dark Night.

As for why the Lady of Dark Night?

Uh, because the stars were created by the Bright Moon, and the Lady of Dark Night was a friend of the Bright Moon. What's more, it was the Lady of Dark Night who asked her to investigate the condition of the Bright Moon, so of course, she should go ask her about such related information!

In short, that was how it was.

Shaking her head, Yun Mu put the Meteor Fragment back into the wooden box.

At this moment, a call came from outside the house.

"Miss Yun, the projector in the living room can play the promotional video for the Old Days Front, and the duel records posted on the official website are also available. Would you like to come and watch?" Lita's voice came from outside the door.

"Okay, wait for me a moment!"

Yun Mu responded and stuffed the wooden box containing the Meteor Fragment back into her bosom.

She pushed open the door, and it just so happened that the promotional video had just started playing.

"Duel, start!" A full-voiced male voice came from the projector in the living room.
