Even Xu Yuan couldn’t help but frown at Gu Chen’s direct question. He believed that a more tactful approach would have been better received.
“Gu Chen is indeed Gu Chen. He never beats around the bush,” Qi Shuo sighed.
“We might have given him too much credit. After all these years, he’s still the same,” Xia Rui said, his expression concerned.
Xiao Lei shook his head and remarked, “Well, at least Su Yang isn’t his only companion.”
Just when everyone expected Sunflower to react negatively, she surprised them by responding in the chat room, “I haven’t considered it, but if someone is willing to offer a high price, I’ll sell it.”
The two of them continued to discuss the software’s value and the potential impact it could have on the market. In no time, the chat room resembled a business meeting.
Those who had just arrived to play games, were left bewildered. They couldn’t comprehend the dynamics of this conversation. It appeared that direct questioning worked with Sunflower.
However, Song Fan remained unaware of the mixed reactions in the room. To her, she was simply answering questions, and discussing pricing was a natural part of negotiations. After all, she had invested significant effort into creating the software and couldn’t just give it away.
While the two engaged in their enthusiastic discussion, Chun Rixue was lying on his bed in a state of contemplation. He received a response from the Mist regarding the mission, and it contained unexpected information.
Chun Rixue hadn’t anticipated that Grassi’s IP address would be traced back to the Song family’s residence. The Song family was a prominent figure in A City’s economy, and any issues involving them could potentially affect the entire country’s economy.
Chun Rixue was unsure how to proceed after discovering this information.
While the Song family had many members, he knew from Grassi’s messages that she was still a student, narrowing down the possibilities.
The more he pondered, the more he feared the consequences. He realized that he was in a precarious situation; provoking the Song family could be a grave mistake.
Initially, Chun Rixue had intended to reveal that Grassi was not a young girl but had second thoughts given the potential consequences. He didn’t want to draw attention to the fact that he had hired someone to investigate Grassi.
Song Fan, on the other hand, was aware of Chun Rixue’s dilemma but chose to disregard the matter. Only Chun Rixue grappled with the decision of whether to inform Sunflower about this revelation.
In Chun Rixue’s opinion, forming a friendship with Sunflower would be beneficial. They could complete missions together, earning points and reaping the rewards. However, the boss did not approve of Sunflower and believed that all achievements in the game should belong to men, nursing a grudge against the fact that the top-ranked player was a woman.
Chun Rixue had grown accustomed to hearing such remarks from his boss in the office. It was clear that forming a team was out of the question. Even after Sunflower’s team members had joined the company, the boss continued to enforce their gaming sessions without rest, forcing them to resort to coffee for sustenance when hunger and fatigue struck.
It was under these conditions that they achieved their current ranking. Although Chun Rixue wasn’t particularly concerned most of the time, he couldn’t help but feel frustrated about losing points he had diligently saved, especially when they ultimately went to other players.
Regardless of the thoughts going through the minds of those involved, the number of spectators eager to witness the upcoming battle had reached its maximum capacity. To ensure the smooth operation of the background systems, they had to limit the number of viewers, or the screen wouldn’t be able to handle the overwhelming number of spectators.
Hua Yue had expanded its capacity overnight, but it still couldn’t accommodate everyone, so they decided to implement a rule to restrict the number of viewers. Those who wished to watch the battle had to pay a fee, but this wasn’t in real money; it was in points. Since players treasured their points, it was expected that many would opt out.
Nevertheless, the sea of spectators remained packed as everyone fixated their gaze on the central stage where the competition would take place. The outcome of the battle held great significance, and the anticipation was palpable. They were all eagerly waiting for Sunflower’s appearance.
Sunflower was renowned as the number one player across the entire server, celebrated for her godly gaming skills. While they had occasionally seen her in action during missions, few had witnessed her overall mastery of the game.
News that Sunflower would be competing had spread, sparking a fierce scramble among players in nearby servers who sought to secure a spot to witness this extraordinary once-in-a-lifetime event..
