.Chapter 228: Parting ways
Zhuote, to the ears of domestic players, this may be a completely inexplicable name, no different from passers-by A, B, and C~ But the big brother-level figures who are really famous in the domestic game circle, such as Sword Emperor Aolong and others
, but they all know this name very well.
Zhuo Te is from California, USA. His specific background is unknown, but what is certain is that this guy is a real "bourgeois". He has many industries on the surface, his total personal assets are nearly one billion, and he is only forty years old.
He has been divorced once and has a son and a daughter. He is a real diamond king in the gaming industry.
About three or four years ago, Zhuote, who had always played the role of a businessman, suddenly decided to switch to virtual online games, and immediately established his first private online game studio in California, called "Conqueror".
The following year, Conqueror Studio began to emerge in several virtual online games, and gradually became known, and took advantage of the situation to form the "Conqueror Guild" with the studio as the core. This eventually gradually attracted the attention of the leading American online game industry at that time.
Boss——Phelps’ attention.
Phelps is a relatively old leading figure in the United States. He has been in the industry for more than 20 years. From an unknown little person back then, Phelps's life is the most legendary life that professional online game players dream of.
Phelps, who is nearly 60 years old, has gradually withdrawn from the stage of the online game industry. He only provides advice to the team on overall planning and command. With a net worth of over 100 million accumulated over the years, he is a professional gamer.
, he really has no more requests for pictures~
Therefore, slowly, Phelps's various decisions became more and more conservative. While constantly striving to consolidate his team's "status in the world," Phelps also did not forget to support new people, making the American gaming circle an elite
They come out in large numbers and have a strong momentum of surpassing their predecessors.

, he really has no more requests for pictures~
Therefore, slowly, Phelps's various decisions became more and more conservative. While constantly striving to consolidate his team's "status in the world," Phelps also did not forget to support new people, making the American gaming circle an elite
They come out in large numbers and have a strong momentum of surpassing their predecessors.
Because of this, although there are still several large teams in the American circle that have the strength to rival Phelps's team, they respect his "status in the world" and have more or less accepted Phelps.
Due to Si's favor, they had more respect for this old Jianghu, but had no intention of catching up.
However, this is not the case with Zhuote.
In the business world, he even believes in the saying that shopping malls are like battlefields
In the mall, he went through many obstacles all the way, and finally achieved his own status. The more he experienced, the more hard-hearted he became~
Although he was new to the gaming industry, Zhuote mostly just sneered at those so-called seniors and hermit masters~
Since you, Phelps, are known as the number one person in the American gaming industry, then fine, I will first kill you as the number one person, step on your corpse and sit on your throne. Then, Zhuote’s dream is to integrate the American gaming industry, and then
Chasing the whole world
In Zhuote's view, although the profit in the gaming industry is a bit small, the various battles are more realistic, cruel, bloody, and exciting.
He was originally a combative person. After experiencing a virtual war online game, he couldn't help but fall in love with this kind of lifestyle that was both real and fake.
And his life creed is, either don’t do it, or do it, and be the strongest one.
The aging Phelps is destined to be a stumbling block on his way forward. In the past few games, he has clearly expressed his "hostility"
However, even though Zhuote has a rich net worth, but when he first entered the gaming industry, his money did not quickly translate into his actual combat effectiveness. Therefore, in the past few battles, Zhuote faced without exception
Miserable failure~
However, the release of Heroes of Might and Magic OL allowed Zhuote to see the light.
In the American gaming circle, Phelps's connections are extremely strong. As a "novice", I want to challenge this strong man with a long history, which is always beyond his power~
However, in several previous games, the Conqueror has made his reputation known.
Dare to challenge the mythical figures in the American gaming circle, which in itself is the biggest advertisement. In this series of activities, Zhuote is slowly accumulating talents and strength. At the same time, he also secretly contacted some powerful people.
, but they are big brother figures who also have some opinions on Phelps. These people also said that as long as the time is right, they will naturally support Zhuote and help him unify the American gaming circle.
When the game Heroes of Invincible OL was first promoted, the first selling point was that it was the most realistic strategic war online game nowadays, and the second selling point was that it was the world's first globally operating online game.
For Zhuote, this was like a good thing for a sleepyhead encountering a soft pillow. In the first moment, Zhuote had locked onto this online game that was destined to go down in history.
When Heroes of Might and Magic OL started its internal beta test, Zhuote used his huge assets to secure nearly 500 internal beta places in one go.
The total internal beta limit for the entire closed beta is only 100,000, and the total share in the United States is a little more than 10,000. In comparison, the resources held by Zhuo Te are not lacking, which even exceeds the resources held by Phelps.
The number of places for internal testing has nearly doubled.
And Heroes of Invincible OL, an online game of the century, did not disappoint Zhuote.
Although there were still some minor mistakes in the details of Heroes of Might and Magic OL during the closed beta test, in Zhuote's view, this is already a virtual online game that can be described as a perfect one due to its deep game connotation and settings.
The details were actually the first among various virtual games at that time.
Unlike Liu Yifei, Zhuote didn't know that there had ever been a stand-alone version of Heroes, but this did not prevent him from using his existing advantages to understand the entire game world.
During the internal beta test, Zhuote's team tried almost all races and professions. In the end, they decided to use the elves to combine all manpower and material resources to attack the elves, striving to occupy a place in the elves that no one can despise.
Then, the game officially entered the public beta stage. Zhuot and the others joined the elves collectively, but unexpectedly some people in the team were born on the border of the race.
There are several elven kingdoms in the elven tribe, and the borders between the same tribes cannot bring them any practical benefits. However, after urgent discussions, the group found that if they choose to focus on the racial border areas for development, they seem to be able to follow a path that is similar to the elven kingdoms.
different ways
Because, north of the border happens to be bordering the Ghost Clan, with only a barren area in between. After crossing this anarchic area, they can directly log in to the Ghost Clan.
So, after the core leadership held meetings for two consecutive days, Zhuote laid out the layout and all members transferred
In addition to leaving some trustworthy personnel scattered throughout the elves to serve as intelligence collectors and infiltrating spies, the others are all concentrated in the border areas.
Since quite a few people are indeed too far apart, this gathering is far more difficult and more time-consuming than imagined. Because of this, in the first two months of the game's launch, the Conquerors did not show many faces.
Opportunity can only be described as unknown~
Members from all over the place are working hard to move towards the target location, and those members who are lucky enough to be born nearby can only try to improve their strength after gathering and lay a decent foundation for the organization.
However, perhaps God really wanted to give Zhuote a chance to challenge the throne of the king. In the subsequent development of the guild, he unexpectedly got involved with the "radical" line among the elves.
Although it is impossible for these system NPCs to know what kind of power Zhuote has in the real world, and their optimism for this person is only a trivial "support", for Zhuote, who is eager for opportunities, this is undoubtedly
Just the best opportunity
Subsequently, with the continuous gathering of members, the strength of the Conquerors continued to increase, and the border area was "sparsely populated". Their family almost monopolized all kinds of resources in the entire border province, even the Elf Tribe's fourth-level mercenary "Pegasus"
These people unexpectedly occupied one of the recruiting buildings of "Knight". And the main force of the elves, the third-level "elf archer", occupied four of the recruiting buildings in one go.
As their comprehensive strength continues to increase, the "radicals" are paying more and more attention to this player group on the border~
Finally, after one time Zhuote led people to complete a difficult trial task given by a "radical" lord, they received a truly arduous and challenging task.
Sneak attack on the ghost border
If an ordinary player group receives such a mission, I am afraid that they will immediately feel that they have seen something wrong, or there is something wrong with the game helmet, and it was just a temporary hallucination~
After all, the current players are still too incompetent for NPCs to deal with wild monsters of the same level one on one. Ordinary players still feel that they can do it one-on-two, barely able to do it, and one-on-three, then they can only rely on
I consume a lot of medicine to survive. If something unexpected happens,
, that’s like rushing to the other end of the street. If it’s one-on-four, ordinary players can only run away. Even those elite players are absolutely in trouble. If they are not masters of technical skills, there is no way for players to fight.
Survive the siege of four wild monsters of the same level
Compared with the so-called "wild monsters", the guards of the system city are genuine "elites". They are even more elite than those wild monster elites. At least, their equipment level is unmatched by those monsters in the wild~
Because of this, this plan of "sneak attack on the border of the ghost clan" seems even more crazy and bold, and it is impossible for any ordinary rational player to accept it~
Because in the eyes of many people, this is simply a dead end.
But when the opportunity fell into Zhuote's hands, the situation was very different. After thinking about it for a while, Zhuote decisively accepted this "race mission" with an S-level system evaluation.
First of all, the nature of this mission is positioned as a relatively high-level "racial mission", and it is also a battlefield category. Even if it is a C-level mission, the benefits will be great if completed, let alone this S-level mission. It is simply
It can be said that as long as the unexpected adventure is completed, the advantages wasted by the team in the early stage of gathering can definitely be made up at once, and there will be a huge balance.
(Let me explain here. According to the nature, tasks can be divided into several categories: individuals, groups, countries, races, and history. The reward range increases in order. Then the ratings of s, a, b, and c are for difficulty, of course.
, the rating not only looks at the difficulty of the combat, but also involves the difficulty of revealing the secret. In the end, in addition to the two categories of nature and difficulty, the task also has a "type", which includes adventure, exploration, mercenary, battlefield, etc., and the combination of various elements.
Together they form the huge mission system of Heroes of Might and Magic OL)
Secondly, the current "Conquerors" need to be powerful and knowledgeable, and it is indeed time to compete with Phelps. What is missing is just a little topic. As a powerful guild, Zhuo
Te still lacks a "people" who can make his team worshiped by everyone.
Typical example: "If you don't do something earth-shattering, you can't leave a deep impression on people. This is very detrimental to the later growth of the team. So, if this mission is successful, I dare not say anything else. In Invincible Heroes
In OL, it is not a problem for six out of ten people to know about it.
Third, and most importantly, the idea of this "radical" lord unexpectedly collided with Zhuote's original plan.
Originally, Zhuote wanted to take advantage of the geographical advantage to proactively provoke a border war between the ghosts and elves, and was prepared to fish in troubled waters in the chaotic situation~
Unexpectedly, before I could turn my ideas into actions, this NPC had already pointed out the way for me.
This, combined with the overt and covert help of the "radicals", implies that Zhuote decisively revised the battle plan and decided to give up the long-term harassment method. He wanted to find an opportunity to fight and directly occupy a city from the ghost tribe.
Fight a huge defensive battle
After learning about Zhuot's idea, the "radical" generals who were in contact with him even admitted that as long as he could really capture a medium-sized ghost city and hold it for a certain period of time, they would immediately
Send an army to support
When the time comes, the NPCs of the Elf Tribe and the players will work together. Let alone being arrogant on the border of the Ghost Tribe for a while, they might actually be able to directly open up territory for the Elf Tribe.
In this case, the subsequent additional rewards for Zhuote and his team will be even more amazing.
With such luck, what else could Zhuo Te have to hesitate? He quickly made a decision to take advantage of this east wind to soar into the sky.
In the following month, Zhuote and his team secretly planned the major matters of this sneak attack on the ghost border. Then he secretly met with the bosses of multiple studios and guilds in order to plan the attack on the ghost border.
In the final attack, as many troops as possible can participate in the battle.
Of course, there is an old saying in China, if you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing. Although Zhuote has tried to be as secretive as possible when meeting with the bosses of all parties, this is after all a matter of cooperation between the two parties. If some people are willing, there will always be others who are not.
In order to ensure the ultimate success of the mission, of course Zhuote wanted to recruit as many foreign aid troops as possible, and in this way, his little moves never escaped Phelps's eye.
Oddly enough, Phelps is actually a pretty amiable uncle. Even in his most aggressive years, few people would use words like "iron-blooded" and "ruthless" to describe him.
When he gets older, if people don't know his real background, it will be easy for him to be misunderstood as an uncle who has achieved success in his career and has an approachable personality.
When dealing with others, especially the newbies in the gaming industry, Phelps acts like a big brother, offering help and imparting experience. But when it comes to Zhuote, he is rarely harsh, even to the point of being annoying.
That's right, not only is Trotter hostile to Phelps, Phelps also hates this reckless, impulsive and extremely arrogant "junior" with insatiable desires.
After learning about Zhuote's plan, Phelps made a simple comment: "The gaming industry is not so easy to mess with, and the super players from all over the world are not so simple. He is not doing this on his own."
If you seek death, you are making enemies of the entire American gaming community.”
Then he began to frustrate and hold back Zhuo Te envoy in an open and honest manner. Phelps took a liking to every boss-level figure Zhuo Te had met, and he also made appointments with them all for a while.
Whatever Zhuote arranged, he told him the opposite, and then even banned the teams that were close to him from cooperating with Zhuote. As a result, Zhuote later invited the most famous player servant of the elves at the time.
The Corps—Amethysto's Harp Mercenary Corps came to assist in the battle, but the leader of the group, Roit, politely refused.
Due to the obstruction of Phelps, Trotter's plan began to become more and more difficult. Even many teams that had already negotiated at the beginning could not help but make it clear that they would stay out of the matter, not wanting to get involved with the old and the small factions.
As a result, Zhuo Te believed that Phelps was afraid of him and worried that his expansion of strength would seriously affect his status as the number one person in the American gaming industry, so he obstructed him in every possible way, even more so.
I was determined to surpass this incompetent old man.
In the constant competition between the two sides, the gap gradually emerged~
Although it is true that Zhuote has abundant capital, it is impossible for him to promise exaggerated sky-high prices to those big brothers. This seriously violates his purpose of "maximizing profits" as a successful businessman. And Phelps, regardless of his usual slow pace,
He is slow and a bit unconcerned with worldly affairs, but once he fully unleashes his power, he is still the number one player in the American gaming industry that no one can shake.
Zhuote's team finally began to lose irreversibly. Only some teams who had suffered a huge loss from Phelps and held a grudge, or who really didn't take Phelps seriously, dared to continue to support Zhuote~ Of course
Well, compared to before, the strength of his team has truly shrunk a lot~
As a result, Zhuote also had an increasingly headache.
Although careful planning and the suddenness of sneak attacks can shorten the strength gap between the two warring parties to a certain extent, this effect is by no means decisive. At the moment, his strength gap is quite large compared with the regular army of the system. Even if he wants to sneak attacks
In preparation for this battle, I notified my subordinates and allies long ago to try my best to prevent the players I can control from rebirth and to maintain the first-level goal state and continue to upgrade. However, the number is still not enough. If I want to capture a medium-sized city, I am afraid.
It's quite strenuous...
But at such a critical juncture, the "Liu Yun" who inexplicably became famous in the game Heroes of Might and Magic OL brought a glimmer of hope to Zhuote.
Since he participated in the entire internal beta test and had a very wide eye, Zhuote also knew a little bit about "Liu Yun", but in his opinion, this person seemed to have never played a virtual game before, and he only played in this game.
He performed well in the game, and there really were no such young masters in the East, so Zhuote characterized it as "luck" and believed that this
The guy was just lucky for a while, so he achieved a little bit of results after the closed beta and public beta. After all, if he hadn't wasted a lot of time due to rushing in the early stages, with the support of the entire organization, he felt that he might not be able to level up quickly.
It will be much slower than Liuyun. When the time comes, who will get the limelight from this person again and again?
As for the victory or defeat of the eight major mercenary groups, he still attributed it to luck. At the beginning, the mercenary groups of the four tribes, barbarians, demons, elves, and humans, all had the strength to aspire to the top, especially the elves and humans.
The strongest, and the ghost tribe is actually regarded as a second-tier team with no hope along with dungeons, towers, and swamps, but unexpectedly, the result is so unexpected, and they are inexplicably ranked first by a Star Wars guy~
Zhuote can only say that this guy Royte is too stupid. If the Amethysto Harpers mercenary group is in his hands, how will he give the opportunity to let the clowns of the ghost tribe run wild?
But this time, he suddenly became a little pleased with this "flowing cloud"~
I don’t know what’s wrong with this kid, but he’s even crazier than himself.
Zhuo Te thought to himself that he had been planning for a long time, constantly recruiting people to join and strengthen the team, and only dared to try the ghost clan with the support of NPCs behind him, but Liu Yun didn't know what he had to rely on, and he dared to do it almost alone.
Come to the elven interior and rampage
The repeated nonsense seemed to Zhuote to be just random nonsense, which made Zhuote look down on this proud Eastern boy even more.
However, I don’t know what exactly this guy did. Not only did the elven players yell at him to kill him, but he also provoked the big lord on the border to publicly issue a bounty on him. The amount is quite tempting~
For a time, countless elven players were crazy about it, and they rushed out of the border city in groups and began to search for the movements of this ghost player.
And the "opportunity" Zhuo Te calls is exactly this raid~
Then, just as Yu Huangquan and the others learned, he gathered his team to support him and infiltrated into the team chasing Liu Yun and Xue Lan. Then he began to encourage people to vote for leaders to lead the team more efficiently.
After he was successfully elected as the "Commander of the Allied Forces", he directly kidnapped public opinion and changed the concept of chasing Liu Yun into a sneak attack on the ghost border until now...
Looking back on all the past events, Zhuote also felt a little unbelievable. All of this was due to his own efforts, but also the arrangement of fate. After several opportunities were created for him, he could only say that this was an opportunity given to him by God, allowing him to succeed in this world.
Build an immortal legend in the game
As soon as he thought of this, Zhuote felt extremely confident in his heart.
Yes, even God is helping him, what else can he not do? The city of Cowart in front has been caught in the flames of war. As long as he successfully captures it, he will be halfway to completing the mission. By then, anyone can really do it.
I can't stop myself anymore
For a moment, Zhuote's heart burst with pride, and he couldn't help but pull out the sword from his waist, ride on his horse, point forward, and shout loudly to all the players around him: "The elves move forward for our glory."
