Chapter 2519 Viper Chamber of Commerce

Chapter 2519 Viper Chamber of Commerce

Many people know that the Viper Chamber of Commerce is a powerful underworld organization, but few people know how powerful this snake is.

Even some professional players who were very powerful outside the game and immediately spread their eyes and ears to the mainland after entering the [Realm of Innocence], and even used think tanks to analyze how "proficient" this game was, did not know how powerful the [Viper Chamber of Commerce] was not long ago.

Until all the staff of [Immortal Studio] headed by Guijianchou were killed completely, including the elite group, guild group, gold-making group, training group and management team, totaling more than 3,700 people were killed overnight. Although some deposits in the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce and the Steam Consortium and a small amount of real estate were still there, it still caused a devastating blow to [Immortal]. The total loss, if converted into money, would even be nearly 10 million.

This is a set of numbers that seem exaggerated, but for the top domestic studios, this is actually very reasonable. Apart from anything else, just the half-year salary of more than 3,000 people, even if there are many part-time staff and online members who only need in-game remuneration, the expenses are also a considerable amount.

Of course, the revenue of [Immortality] in the ten months since its launch is also huge. Apart from anything else, just the income from gold-making business and leveling (because you can't log in to the boss's account, it's generally to help the boss complete tasks), is enough for the management to dive back into [Realm of Innocence].

Of course, [Immortality], which has theoretically unlimited opportunities to start over because of its identity as a 'player', will definitely not choose to make an enemy of that unfathomable and ruthless snake this time. And the facts have also proved that although the means are quite obscure, the [Viper Chamber of Commerce] has indeed conveyed the idea that it will not cause trouble for [Immortality Studio] again after this incident.

And based on evaluations within the studio and from other top pro gamers, this is likely true.

The reason is very simple. If Viper would be so crazy as to 'guard the corpse', causing the 'immortal' people to die again every time they re-enter the character, then it would be impossible for it to become as big as it is today.

The Chamber of Commerce, although they do all kinds of business, but because of its fate, [Viper] does follow those popular business principles to some extent, for example - harmony brings wealth.

That's right, harmony brings wealth. Although [Viper] killed all the people of [Immortality], considering the power and means of Viper, and taking into account the characteristics of players who can restart infinitely and the specific losses of [Immortality], whether it is Qingqing Pingguoxiang of [Green Apple Chamber of Commerce], the diamond watch of the second director of [Golden Baby Studio], the three-color engraving of the deputy captain of [Card Man Club], or Jin Beibei, the logistics manager of [Bath of Fire], even Guijianchou himself of [Immortality], they all think that this is not a 'declaration of war'.

Rather, it is a naked warning and display of muscle.

As for the object of their warning and the target of their display, it would be more accurate to say it was all the professional player organizations that had settled in the Realm of Innocence rather than the [Undead Studio]. It was just that due to the previous conflicts, the [Undead Studio] was unfortunately chosen as the target of the display of force.

These professional players were not the kind of people who acted on impulse. Even Xinglong, who was easily impulsive and had a strong sense of justice, knew that there was no benefit in going against a behemoth like Viper, so he used the fact that Immortal had swallowed the bitter fruit as a signal to give Viper the feedback it expected.

Just like that, the matter was exposed, and the players suffered a loss in silence. [Undead Studio] suffered huge losses but received a lot of help from other peers. Holy Light King of [Card Master] helped it rebuild its intelligence network, Silver Moon of [Red Constellation] brought an elite group to help continue several large-scale missions that were about to fail automatically, and [Golden Baby] and [Green Apple Chamber of Commerce] provided the most direct material support, such as interest-free leasing of some weapons and equipment, and working capital with interest rates so low that it is almost non-existent, highlighting the principle of "when one side is in trouble, all sides will come to its aid."

It is no exaggeration to say that this situation makes everyone quite uncomfortable. After all, even some people who can be regarded as moral role models in the professional circle (such as Mr. Li) can only "not kick someone when they are down" or "at least let Hanmei and others do the kicking when they are down" in most cases.

The reason is simple: they are enemies in the same industry.

There are only so many people in a game and so few resources. In this case, even if we put aside the crazy exception like "Bath of Fire", it is impossible for everyone to have fun.

It is common for four people and six groups to cheat each other for a resource point.

The methods used to snatch rare BOSSes are even more varied. Every family wants to read the military manual to pieces. There are at least thirty-six variations of the beauty trap alone.

As for the result... they are all thousand-year-old foxes, why are they playing Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio with each other?

It is worth mentioning that among the bad deeds of the major players in the past, the most widely circulated one is really the beauty trap.

That is - in order to disintegrate a certain bad gang from within, [Golden Baby Studio] sent its eldest daughter Jin Beibei to [Baptism of Fire], but in the end, not only did they lose Beibei, but they also lost their soldiers, causing the eldest daughter to become the logistics supervisor of the typing warriors.

In fact, this matter is simply nonsense. After all, if you use your brain a little, you will know that Jin Beibei is the daughter of the boss of [Jinbaobei Studio]. Her status is even beyond the reach of the first deacon 'Huang Jin'. How could she be sent to a place that is recognized as a place with no good things to play a beauty trap?

The truth is that when Jin Beibei was playing games, a valuable piece of equipment was secretly stolen by the typing warrior. As a result, the eldest lady used a little trick to make [Yuhuo] lose everything at an auction. Then she was noticed by the typing warrior who realized that "this girl is not simple" and used his eloquence to talk her into Yuhuo.

There's no way around it. The young lady's circle has always been relatively elegant since she was a child. Even her friends and besties are upper-class people like Garwen. No matter how smart she is, she still has a certain curiosity about the "life of the common people". And [Burning Fire], a gang of hooligans among hooligans and scoundrels among scoundrels, perfectly fits the concept of "marketplace" that has fallen for countless young masters and young ladies from ancient times to the present.

Of course, considering that Jin Beibei is a girl with very positive values, being recognized by her also proves that the people in "Bath of Fire" are not bad, they are just simply mean.

Let's get back to the point. The fundamental reason why the major player forces were able to show unprecedented unity in the [Realm of Innocence] in the past, and even the phenomenon of "everyone for me and I for everyone", was that on the one hand, the cake was too big, and on the other hand, the player forces were too weak.

In other games, no matter how powerful the BOSS is, it will ultimately serve the players. No matter how high the fashion value is, as long as the health bar is exposed, it must be killed. However, we have mentioned more than once that in [Realm of Innocence], players have never been a privileged class.

Admittedly, the short upgrade time from low-level to high-level, the ability to communicate remotely, and the ability to have built-in space storage devices seem supermodels, but among those NPC groups that are truly great, the aliens are far from being born with a silver spoon in their mouths.

The only thing that truly makes aliens superior to NPCs to a certain extent is that they can be resurrected infinitely, but this trait actually has no positive effect on the development of major clubs and studios, because this is common sense for all players.

As the largest criminal gang on the mainland, the Viper Chamber of Commerce is one of the real rule makers.

They are involved in all kinds of money-making businesses, and their principles of action are to have no principles at all. They are cruel and cold-blooded, vindictive, and elusive. They are a criminal gang that every force hates and wants to get rid of as soon as possible.

But the fact that this snake has survived until now is enough to prove a lot.

It will admittedly bleed, get hurt, be trapped in its stronghold, and be torn apart in anger, but just like the [Undead Studio], even if you gain the upper hand in a confrontation with it, or even win a great victory in a local conflict, it won't be long before the opponent takes heinous revenge.

They can kill the people from [Undead Studio].

They can kill people from the Violet Empire.

They can kill the people from [Wanderer Inn].

They can kill people from the Adventurer's Guild.

In addition, there are people from major neutral organizations and national alliances who can all be killed.

As the saying goes, it is easy to dodge a spear but hard to guard against an arrow from the dark. The Viper Chamber of Commerce has been lurking in the depths of darkness from the beginning to the end, running countless "businesses". They don't even have a headquarters in the strict sense.

To some extent, this snake is similar to the Joker in nature. Unless all the cadre-level characters are wiped out, the operation of the Joker will not be affected if any of the 'characters' or 'bases' are destroyed, including the two trump cards, the King of Hearts and the Queen of Clubs, the Kevos Family Residence in the Free City, No. 17 Galaxy Avenue in Saramoon, or the Law Enforcement Team Office in Academy City.

In fact, even if all of the above are eliminated, Mo Tan and Futaba will still be able to ensure the smooth operation of the organization.

This is definitely not a normal model or system, but it is definitely an extremely difficult and hard to dismantle structure.

In Mo Tan's opinion, this structure is very suitable for a public welfare organization like [Joker], and facts have proved that although its execution ability is not strong, its survival ability is indeed strong to the point of being almost unsolvable.

Even Foster Ward admired Mo Tan's idea very much, and directly stated that unless all cadres and branches could be eliminated in a short period of time, it would be impossible to truly defeat an organization that was scattered in a "point" manner in a framework called "Joker Card", which was both loose and tight, united and independent.

After all, even though it is still in the "start-up phase" today, the two trump cards can no longer grasp the full picture of the organization. In the near future, the "Joker Card" is very likely to develop into a deformed monster that cannot be completely controlled or manipulated even if Mo Tan and Futaba join forces without any grudges. However, the best part is that if you don't plan to control and manipulate it, each "node" in the "Joker Card" has extremely complex resources, which everyone can take as they please.

'This is a primitive and inefficient [fan club], but it has almost unlimited potential and extremely tenacious vitality. It's very good and very interesting.'

The above is Foster Ward's evaluation of the "Joker" after listening to Mo Tan's speech, and his next sentence was "I am willing to join."

As for Futaba, being able to join the organization founded by 'BLACK' must have been very much to her liking, so it is enough to show how satisfied she is with the system of [Joker].

But whether it is Mo Tan, Futaba, or perhaps Foster, they will always be just one of the countless smart people in the world, not the only, second, or third smart person.

Some of the other smart people, like Hugh Brethren, never considered this system because he was the ruler of the Violet Empire;

Some people, such as the founder of the Wanderer Hostel, chose a looser, more selfless, but also safer way to establish the prototype of the largest intelligence organization on the continent.

As for the founder of the Viper Chamber of Commerce, he happened to be playing the Joker model, and with the efforts of countless successors, they have even taken this path to the extreme!

Mo Tan didn't know whether the charity organization could reach the level of the Viper Chamber of Commerce if the Harlequin was given the same amount of time to develop, but he had to admit that in the year 9571 of the Holy Calendar, this strong and crazy worm was indeed terrifyingly strong and had the capital to be crazy.

It may not be able to beat you, but it can definitely hurt you.

You may win once, twice, or three times, but it will always be more than you can afford to lose.

This kind of public welfare organization, which Tan Mo considered to be the most ideal, had already shown its terrifying full potential, and had become a monster that countless forces on the mainland were gritting their teeth at, but were unable to start with.

"Tsk tsk, to be honest, as long as a thing like the Viper is willing to leave three points... or even two points, or one point of leeway before taking action, there is no possibility of being eradicated."

In a recent gathering, Mo Tan once said to Violet's Regent: "And the people who know the so-called 'property' the best are precisely people like them."

"Oh?"

The Regent grinned and raised his eyebrows. "So what you mean is that no matter whether it is the Viper Chamber of Commerce or the Harlequin Brand, as long as they don't make mistakes, they are invincible?"

"how……"

Mo Tan narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled playfully, "Is Violet really being targeted?"

"A few months ago, the slave trade in the empire was always conducted through the Viper Chamber of Commerce. Do you want to guess how many gold coins the snake will lose every year after I kill Marshall?"

"Scared?"

"Don't be afraid. I can probably guess the scale of their revenge. As you said, those people know the so-called 'measure' best."

"Then why are you still talking nonsense? You ruined someone's business, and you don't want them to bite you back?"

"That's what I mean."

"No choice, just bear with it."

"you……"

"Why else do you think I would create the Joker brand? Am I just bored?"

"I guess your next word is 'but'."

"How did you guess that?"

"Because your smile is so mean."

"Oh, okay, but... if there is an opportunity, a fool, and a little bit of luck, it is not impossible for that long worm to be trampled to death."

"Does this also apply to the Joker card?"
