Chapter 77: Ji Ming

It is often said that the benevolent see benevolence, and the wise see wisdom.

While other players were still immersed in the novel experiences the game offered, Fu Le, the chief marketing officer, was thinking from another angle.

Nowadays many products on the market still cling to traditional advertising models.

The so‑called innovations of the past two years are nothing more than the evolution of TV shopping into live‑stream sales, and an upgraded "shake‑to‑open" splash screen ad for psoriasis.

There are results, but even if he were to evaluate them himself, he could only describe them with the four words "evil inside".

Moreover, if it goes wrong, it becomes a chaotic brand disaster and a life‑or‑death PR crisis.

Fu Le has been researching whether there is a new marketing direction, yet forging a new path on the basis of competitors is extremely difficult.

But today, after watching an entire in‑game special effects CG, a new inspiration burst into his mind.

The users' biggest worry is nothing more than the hands‑on experience after purchase.

So, if a segment for using one's own product could be added to this game.

Or even, to directly replace that bottle of "Rejuvenation Generation" with an exact replica of the company's new product…

He keenly sensed how much commercial value this destined blockbuster game could bring!

If he could seize this opportunity, his position in the company would become as solid as a rock.

It is precisely because of this that Fu Le resolved to keep playing the game, even proactively seeking advice from some unfamiliar juniors.

While pondering, he saw two male youths who appeared to be university students lift their heads.

"Uncle, your wisdom and charisma are still relatively high; you could focus on developing those."

"Right, since it's a fantasy‑themed game, I think you'd be suitable for a mage, priest, or other magic‑damage or support class…"

Amid their chatter and analysis, Fu Le was not silent the whole time; he interjected a sentence or two now and then.

Appropriate praise and a bit of self‑deprecation are good medicine for building rapport, and by the end of this little exchange the atmosphere had warmed considerably.

The panel of "Code Name: Sun Moon" is fairly easy to understand, but what concerned Fu Le even more was another point the other side emphasized.

"Do you mean that this 【Self‑Defense Technique·Basic】 might be a customized skill scanned from the game helmet?"

"Exactly, you see, both of us also have music‑related life skills."

Nodding, Fu Le's expression gradually grew solemn.

Since encountering a physical commercial war from a rival company, he had indeed taken time to learn some self‑defense methods.

Yet, without a sound, he was directly scanned in by the machine…

So how many of my secrets does this game helmet actually know?

But in modern society, who has secrets?

If any information had truly leaked, it would have been exposed completely long ago!

Therefore Fu Le did not linger on the matter and directly sent a party invitation to the other side.

"Uncle hasn't played games in a long time; could you guide Uncle a bit?"

"Sure, the more the merrier!"

The two university students gladly agreed; after all, in an MMORPG, the more people, the more fun.

With the party formed, the next step was naturally to explore and grind monsters.

Ai Ge opened the public screen, glanced at it, and flipped through the beginner tutorial again.

"Partners, I just looked at other players' comments and skimmed the beginner tutorial."

"I think we should take one commission at a time, then go out to explore; that yields the highest profit!"

Fu Le opened the newly unlocked commission page and gave it a quick look, discovering that perhaps because it was a test version, only one mission appeared on the commission board.

【Long‑term Commission: Hunt Goblins】

【Mission Description: Around the Great Holy Seat, goblins roam freely; eradicate them, and the Soul Spirit Holy Seat will provide the corresponding reward】

【Mission Reward: Every ten goblins slain automatically grants one exchange point】

【Current Progress: (0/10)】

"So this group of goblin things is called the Soul Spirit Holy Seat? That's odd."

Looking at the players already moving freely nearby, Wu Li couldn't help but cough lightly.

"How about this? Let's all wander around the sanctuary first, wait ten or twenty minutes, then regroup here and head out together!"

Ai Ge couldn't stay still either; having learned two moves from another roommate, he'd long wanted to try the stylish organ in the corner.

Cooperation is fundamentally built on mutual trust.

If this were in reality, seeing juniors getting overly playful, the usually serious Fu Le would have frowned and scolded them.

But perhaps his mindset had changed; he simply smiled and nodded.

"Alright, kid, see you later!"

Thus the three of them split up and blended into parties exploring the sanctuary.

So no one noticed that, at some point, a person sat behind them.

It was Ji Ming, observing the players with interest, now dressed in a fresh beginner's outfit.

Ancient wisdom says a mature player should have many alt accounts.

And to facilitate this game, Ji Ming indeed did just that.

The so‑called "Wheel of Reincarnation·JiMiYin" is actually him in a different mantle.

Since there's Code Name: Sun Moon as the backend and the system as a tool, it's no big deal to change skins for oneself or even for colleagues.

As for why the four great guardians all have white bases with gold edges and red patterns…

It's merely a personal little preference; Ji Ming has felt that color scheme is upscale since childhood.

Consequently, through his manipulations, the three order‑side strongholds all "flipped" to the chaos side, joining his already filthy self as the villainous patriarch.

And above the four great guardians stands the so‑called Supreme Strong One "Lord of Living Beings"…

Don't be scared, don't be scared, everyone stay calm.

After successfully scaring Silvia and the others, Ji Ming walked over with a light laugh and lifted the curtain.

There is no living king, nor any dead deity, because inside there is basically nothing at all.

Only a flowerpot that Ji Ming conjured out of thin air, and a fresh radish that he planted on the spot.

This is Ji Ming's biggest arrangement for this closed beta test.

Our biggest boss is my skin suit, perfect for holding the field and showing off.

The mouthpiece of our biggest boss is my alt account, suitable for layout and operation.

And our other executive members are my helpers whom I call colleagues but treat as subordinates, good for filling gaps and matching tasks.

So, the entire Soul Spirit Sanctum is my One-Man Rule, and even among the players there is one of my identities.

With such myself, who could defeat me, who could defeat me, heehee!

So, now there is only one question left...

Ah no, where is my cyber big son, Aurora Dance?
