C96 Making a Fortune
He had never felt such excitement before. This feeling was even more exciting than the fifty million yuan lottery ticket and the increase of his funds.
At this moment, he could only feel his blood surging through his body in excitement.
The craze of the competition lasted for over an hour before the tycoons gradually lost their sugar rush.
Burning money was just like a cycle. After the adrenaline dissipates, the tycoons would slowly calm down.
In the end, the G8 player ascended to the top of the throne and became the number one ranked Warlord. With that, the exciting game also came to an inevitable end.
That hour and a half of gaming felt like participating in a war to many of the constestants — many of the hardcore gamers sweating profusely.
When the host announced the end of the game, however, everyone relaxed as the tension in the air subsided.
"The winner of the first-ever Warlord competition... Player G8! Please come on stage and receive your award," the host, Zhou Ming, announced loudly.
At this moment, her hands were covered in a cold sweat since it was her first time hosting a gaming competition that was so tense and exciting.
At one point during a crucial moment of the PK Competition, she even had a thought of participating in it and joining in on the fun.
As the host's voice faded, a young rich second-generation walked onto the stage. He held his head high proudly as puffed his chest up — looking more arrogant than someone who had just received a Nobel Prize.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the second generation rich man. To be the first in the Warlord, his strength and wealth could only be imagined.
The winner was personally awarded by the boss of the club, Lin An. Subsequently, everyone applauded and congratulated him.
"Come, here is your Medal of Honor." Zhou Ming placed a gold and jade inlaid game medal around the winner's neck.
The medal, custom made by Wu Tian himself, was worth over a hundred thousand yuan.
Not only was the content of gold high, the craftsmanship was very exquisite, comparable to the Olympic gold medal.
This gold medal instantly raised the stature of the Warlord.
Zhou Ming held the microphone and asked the champion: "Obtaining first place in the Warlord PK Competition, what thoughts do you have?"
"I really admire the developers of Warlord game, to be able to make me so happy even after spending tens of millions in vain," the champion grabbed the microphone and said loudly.
When these words came out, everyone in the audience burst into laughter.
"Alright, thank you number one ranked Warlord, second place, L2 please come up …"
Zhou Ming gave out more than ten medals in one go. As long as one's equipment amounted to over five million yuan in real cash, they would be given a medallion to satisfy the vanity of these rich second generations.
After giving out the medals, she announced the end of the game. At the very end of her announcement, she even intentionally left the room in suspense, telling everyone to look forward to the second competition of Warlord.
After the event ended, everyone dispersed and went their own way.
After saying goodbye to Lin An, Wu Tian hurriedly walked out of Global International Club and prepared to return to the company to look at the background data of the game.
Since the contestants had recharged countless times, it made it impossible to calculate in person. Thus, he needed to check the background data to know the exact amount of money they recharged.
When he walked out of the club, he was suddenly stopped by Liu Mengyao running towards him. "Hey, wait for me."
"Miss Liu, is something the matter?" Wu Tian had no choice but to stop and turn his head with a polite smile.
"Call me Mengyao."
"Mengyao."
"That sounds a bit stiff." Liu Mengyao smiled bitterly and tried to find something to say, "My father really admires you."
"Is that so?"
"However, I too agree with father's judgement. You are indeed an very outstanding man."
"You're too kind." Wu Tian rubbed his nose awkwardly, "Um... are you in need of something?"
"I want you to accompany me shopping," Liu Mengyao said in an irresistible tone, placing her hands behind her and leaning slightly forward.
"Sorry, I don't have time right now," Wu Tian replied, only wanting to go back to the company to look at the data backstage and see how successful the labor has been during this period.
As for accompanying Miss Liu to go shopping, he really did not place it very high on his list of priorities.
"You… Do you not like being with me?"
"That's really not the case." Wu Tian looked at the time and smiled awkwardly: "I just have something to attend to right now. How about this? I'll treat you to a meal and go shopping with you some other day."
After saying that, he quickly left without looking back.
"Hey…"
Seeing Wu Tian leave, Liu Mengyao grudgingly bit her lips and left with a sense of loss.
When Wu Tian returned to the company, he found that the office was extremely lively. The employees were all very excited, as if they had won the lottery.
The most excited was none other than Lee Mu. Seeing Wu Tian returning to the company, he scuttled out like a rabbit and grabbed onto Wu Tian's arm. He was so excited that the corner of his mouth started to tremble. "This... this is great! We've made an absolute killing this time."
"How is it? How much did we earn this time?" Wu Tian waited for the answer with a look of anticipation.
"I'm afraid you won't believe how much we made this time..."
Mid-way through his sentence, Lee Mu suddenly swallowed his words and purposely said: "I'm afraid you won't believe me if I say it out loud, so it's better to look at the data directly."
Then, he quickly instructed Yuan Wangchun to open the background data.
Wu Tian immediately rushed towards his computer. When he saw the amount of money recharged by the players backstage, he found it hard to believe.
He thought he was seeing things and mumbled excitedly, "Holy crap! Five hundred million... A solid five hundred million!"
Wu Tian had already felt a rush of excitement when he first saw how fast the in-game coins were increasing during the competition. Judging from that alone, he believed that he only made about two hundred million after his calculations.
Who knew that he was so bad at math... After all, his calculations had been off by three hundred million!
In less than two hours, the total amount spent by the tycoons and whales on the game had exceeded well over five hundred million. This was simply a miracle.
Looking at this astronomical figure, Wu Tian could not hide the excitement in his heart. He was so happy that tears were flowing out of his eyes.
500 million. This was not only a massive amount of income, but also the acknowledgement and proof of his ability and strength. It showed that the effort he and his team put in the game actually paid off.
Finally, he had created a miracle with his own two hands and led his team to make several hundred million from a single game. Or to be more precise, a single competition that lasted for two hours.
At this moment, he felt his blood boiling as his body trembled in a fever of elation — creating at new peak in his excitement.
"Hu!"
Having finally suppressed and calmed down from his intense emotions, he raised his head and let out a long breath, shouting aloud, "Five hundred million! All of our efforts were not in vain!"
"Hell yeah!"
Lee Mu was equally excited as tears welled up in his eyes. He let out a sigh of relief as if a pile of burdens had been lifted off his shoulders and said, "I've started a business in this industry for so many years, but I've never felt as accomplished as I did today. Boss Wu, let me thank you from the bottom of my heart. You brought me along to create a miracle. Meeting you is my greatest fortune in life."
As Lee Mu spoke, tears rolled down his face like droplets of rain flowing down a window.
"Took a look at what you're capable of." Wu Tian nudged at his side and laughed, "Five hundred million is nothing, we still need to create billions so that we'll find our names in history books in the future."
"I'll follow you for the rest of my life."
"Alright." Wu Tian let out a bright smile, pressing his back against Yuan Wangchun's shoulder, "Our success this time will not be possible without both Little Zhou's and your effort. I sincerely thank you."
"No."
Yuan Wangchun gritted his teeth and said with a heavy tone, "I should be the one thanking you. It was you who helped me re-discover my passion for making games and gave me the motivation to move forward. I will never regret grabbing onto your outreached hand that day."
"Yep, same here.
Zhou Cheng adjusted his glasses and said, "Without Boss Wu, even if I had god-like programming abilities, it would still be useless. Ultimately, it was Boss Wu who helped me. That, I thank you."
Saying that, he bowed deeply towards Wu Tian in gratitude.
