Legend of the Pinnacle of Online Games

Chapter 164 Launch Event

As the white light dissipated.

Lin Hanchuan arrived at the Resurrection Square in Wangyue City.

More and more players are entering the city, and the huge resurrection square is now feeling a bit crowded.

Lin Hanchuan glanced at it and then headed straight for the weapons factory.

After walking for a short while, Lin Hanchuan suddenly stopped, hesitated for a moment, and then took out the Realm Teleportation Token from his backpack.

The cities in the [Demon Plant World] and [Demon Plant Master's Obsession] dungeons share the same name as Wangyue City. If the city lord Sharp is indeed a Demon Plant Master, then the teleportation method he used last time was the same as the one he used in the [Demon Plant World] dungeon.

Lin Hanchuan looked down at Wangyue City beneath his feet.

"What if the two dungeons, [The World of Demon Plants] and [The Demon Plant Master's Obsession], have crucial interactions with the real-world city of Wangyue in the game?"

Lin Hanchuan made a bold guess.

"Is the Moon Gazing City beneath my feet also filled with demonic plants from other realms?"

The team behind the event had a number of bizarre and ingenious ideas.

There are often situations where a unique item, exclusive to a particular instance, can also be used in other instances.

"Give it a try!"

Lin Hanchuan tried using the Realm Teleportation Token.

I didn't have high expectations.

But the next moment, the system notification sound rang in Lin Hanchuan's mind.

"Ding! Please note that you are currently using a Realm Teleportation Token. This token is valid within the city limits of your current location, Wangyue City. Please enter the coordinates of the location you wish to travel to."

As the system notification sounded, the text that appeared simultaneously on the panel made Lin Hanchuan's eyes widen, his expression a mixture of surprise and absurdity.

Unexpectedly, the [Demon Plant World] and [Demon Plant Master's Obsession] dungeons are actually related to the real-world Wangyue City in the game.

The fact that the Realm Teleportation Token can be used only proves one thing: the Realm Demon Plant still exists in the earth beneath our feet!

More importantly, there is a high probability of a related storyline, at least linking the [Demon Plant World] instance to the current Moon Gazing City.

The city lord is very likely the key figure!
"This is incredible! If this were a mission, it would be at least SS-rank!" Lin Hanchuan held the Realm Teleportation Token, his expression revealing undisguised excitement.

to be frank.

He's somewhat coveting Sharp's current position!

call! !

After taking a deep breath, Lin Hanchuan came to his senses and entered the coordinates of the weapon factory on the panel.

The next moment, a surge of white light appeared.

The world before Lin Hanchuan's eyes instantly plunged into darkness, as if nutrients were being transferred through the body of the demonic plant. It wasn't an instantaneous journey to the destination.

A nutrient transport process is required in between.

But it wasn't long either.

Lin Hanchuan felt his body suddenly become light and airy after an extremely rapid journey.

A white light appeared before my eyes.

When Lin Hanchuan's vision cleared again, he had already arrived at the entrance of the weapons factory in the West Third District.

Since the news of crafting the Water Bear Monster set has been released, a considerable number of players have gathered around the weapon factory.

"Are you sure this weapons factory will produce the Silver-tier Water Bear Monster armor set in the future?"

"There is only one weapons factory in the entire Moon Gazing City. Many people have personally witnessed Arakawa White Owl entering and leaving this weapons factory."

"This must be it!"

"I heard that players in the strategy team can buy the Water Bear Monster Set for half price. Arakawa White Owl is really good to his own people!"

"What's the use of being envious? Once you improve your combat power and reach the top five in your class, you can also join the strategy team and enjoy a 50% discount."

"If I had that ability, why would I be a businessman? I just don't have the talent for games, so I can only try to find a profession related to daily life."

……

A small number of players here are trying to get a Water Bear Monster set for themselves as quickly as possible, while the majority are resellers who want to be the first to buy the Water Bear Monster set and then resell it to other players who urgently need it at a higher price.

These are all normal procedures during the arrival of the mortal realm.

As long as there is profit to be made, there will be players.

Lin Hanchuan's appearance immediately attracted their attention.

"Isn't that Arakawa White Owl? Speak of the devil and he appears, but how did he teleport to the weapons factory?"

"So many dungeon first-clear rewards are all on Arakawa Shiro, so it's not strange that he has one or two teleportation items. But is he here for the Silver-level Water Bear Monster set?"

"Definitely! My friend said he finalized the mass production of the Water Bear Set in the Water Bear Territory, and now he's suddenly come to the weapon factory. I guess he's urging the NPC workers in the factory to speed up production."

"The plant master players in all regions have gone crazy. I have several requests from plant master players who want to buy plant seeds and hidden professions in bulk."

"It's all the same. Now, the merchants in Wangyue City all have commissions from other regions' plant master players."

While the merchants were whispering and discussing Lin Hanchuan, someone shouted loudly at him.

"Hey! Brother Xiao, can you take me into the weapons factory?"

"Brother Xiao, I'm from the Natural Merchant Guild. Are you interested in discussing a collaboration on the Water Bear Monster Set?"

Lin Hanchuan ignored all the voices and went straight into the weapons factory.

Outside the factory, dozens of NPC guards patrolled. They were all hired by Roger. Lin Hanchuan's initial investment of 100,000 gold coins gave him a great deal of freedom in recruiting people.

Inside the factory.

There are many more workers now.

There are seventy or eighty.

Everyone was working diligently to clean the machines, making final preparations for the mass production of the Water Bear Monster suit.

Mo Lingyun was also in the factory, but he was lying on a soft fur sofa, staring blankly at the empty space in front of him. Clearly, he was dealing with related matters using his personal panel.

"Boss, you're here!" Just as Lin Hanchuan was about to step forward, Roger suddenly appeared out of nowhere, looking excited. "The machines needed for the production of the Water Bear Monster Set have all been tested and are ready. I've prepared 10,000 sets of raw materials for producing the Silver-grade Water Bear Monster Set. As soon as the crystals arrive at the factory, we can start manufacturing the Water Bear Monster Set immediately!"

"Oh! By the way, you should have noticed that the number of guards outside has increased quite a bit. There's really nothing we can do about it; there are just too many foreigners gathering outside the weapons factory."

“They not only try to get in at night, but they also dare to climb over the wall during the day. For the safety of the factory, I can only increase the internal defenses to prevent them from sabotaging the production of the water bear suit.”

Roger proactively reported the reason for the increased number of guards.

The funds used to hire these guards were taken from the 100,000 gold coins that Arakawa Haku had left in the factory.

More importantly, the factory was about to resume production, and he didn't want some trivial matters to affect his relationship with Arakawa Hakuyo.

Although he is now just an employee, he longs to make the factory left by his ancestors shine again.

“If there are too many people, I can reduce the number,” Roger quickly added. The guards outside are not cheap to hire every day. Although he thinks the current number of guards is a reasonable number to protect the weapons factory, Lin Hanchuan can still reduce the number if he wants.

Lin Hanchuan shook his head and said, "Well done! But there are too few people. Double the number of guards."

Roger underestimated the players' limits.

With a large number of people, not only will they be able to scale the wall, but even top-tier thief and assassin players will sneak in to steal things.

These guards are far from enough!

"Director Roger, don't be stingy with money. The reason I entrusted the weapons factory to you for continued management is because I value your personal abilities!"

"Go ahead and do it, you don't need to report everything to me!"

Lin Hanchuan has never managed a company.

But if you doubt someone, don't use them; if you use someone, don't doubt them.

He understood this, especially regarding minor matters, and advised against asking too many questions.

Otherwise, once his power grows, he'll have to report everything, big or small, to me and handle it all. He'll be exhausted, and how can I be a hands-off manager?

"Okay, boss!" Roger was inexplicably moved to hear Lin Hanchuan trust him so much.

Lin Hanchuan continued, "At the crystal mine, the goblins and dwarves are already mining the ore, and the escort teams composed of city guards have also arrived. Once the first batch of ore is mined, they will immediately escort it to the weapons factory."

"After the Silver-grade Water Bear Monster Set is produced, I will introduce a friend to be in charge of the sales of the Water Bear Monster Set."

"At the factory, you can just go ahead and start producing."

The advertisement for the Water Bear Monster outfit is too powerful.

Aside from Wangyue City, players across all regions who follow Wangyue City have more or less heard of the Water Bear Monster Set.

With such a huge market, the Tartarus suit will sell out easily.

"Okay, okay!!" Roger nodded repeatedly, then reminded him, "Um... Boss, didn't you say before that you also had a blueprint for the Water Bear Monster Set?"

Currently, only 10 workers, including himself, have studied the blueprints for the Water Bear Monster suit in the factory. This number is far too low, falling short of the minimum requirements for mass production of the Water Bear Monster suit.

"I brought it to you!" Lin Hanchuan took out the blueprints for the Water Bear Set from his spatial ring, handed them to Roger, and said, "If there are any more Water Bear Set blueprints in the future, I will bring them again."

Lin Hanchuan plans to make the Water Bear Monster Set one of the exclusive items produced by the weapon factory. After the sales momentum subsides, the factory will at most reduce production, but will not stop production.

Roger took the blueprints for the Water Bear Set from Lin Hanchuan, glanced at them, and said, "I'll arrange for someone to learn them right away!"

After Roger left with the blueprints, Lin Hanchuan came to Mo Lingyun's side.

He was still focused on the panel and handling things, unaware that someone else had appeared beside him.

"Old Mo!" Lin Hanchuan called out.

Startled, Mo Lingyun turned around and saw Lin Hanchuan, then breathed a sigh of relief. "Old Lin, why are you walking so quietly? You didn't make a sound at all. You almost scared me to death."

"I was just trying not to bother you because you were working so diligently," Lin Hanchuan said with a smile. "Is the list ready?"

The question asks for a list of players who farm resources in the two dungeons: [Demon Plant World] and [Demon Plant Master's Obsession].

Mo Lingyun replied, "It's all set. I've already contacted them. There are twenty people in total, forming two full teams to run the [Demon Plant World] and [Demon Plant Master's Obsession] dungeons. We plan to run the dungeons for seven days. We'll provide the Water Bear Monster set for free, pay daily, and all items in the dungeons will belong to us. There are also some other conditions."

Lin Hanchuan asked, "Can we sign the contract online now?"

This kind of thing must be written into the contract; that's why the company was established.

Verbal agreements are only useful to gentlemen.

The players come from all over the world, so it's unrealistic to expect them all to come to Yanhuai City to sign contracts offline.

Fortunately, online contracts also have legal effect.

Mo Lingyun replied, "Sure! They're all ready!"

"Log off!!" Lin Hanchuan wasn't the type to procrastinate, so he made the decision on the spot. "I'll also show you around the Tianlong Arena."

The stars were already sleepy.

After Lin Hanchuan took her to a quiet room in the weapons factory to sleep, he logged off immediately.

After informing the players on the list, Mo Lingyun logged off.

Lin Hanchuan called Mo Lingyun and asked him to go out for noodles before heading to the Tianlong Arena to handle the online contract signing.

Before I knew it, a night had passed.

"Let's find a professional to handle this from now on!" Lin Hanchuan yawned as he looked at the rising sun outside the window and said to Mo Lingyun, "I've already set up the company. You can handle the finance and human resources departments!"

The company has just been established.

Since they haven't hired any employees yet, the online contract signing process can only be handled by him and Mo Lingyun.

But this is really not something a human would do.
Twenty players from five continents.

With the help of AI translation and by paying extra to hire two professional lawyers through Attorney Jiang, we finally got the online contract signed after a whole night of work.

“That’s how it should be. Even though it’s small, it has all the vital organs.” Mo Lingyun yawned, not because she was sleepy, but simply because she was tired.

Lin Hanchuan blinked his tired eyes and continued to say to Mo Lingyun, "The Tianlong Arena still needs renovations. Old Mo, I'll have to trouble you with this."

The venue has already been secured.

However, many of the facilities inside are outdated.

Lin Hanchuan needs to spend money to renovate it.

“Okay, okay!” Mo Lingyun waved her hand and said, “A friend of my dad’s happens to own a large decoration company. We can have them handle it.”

"However, you need to take a look at the renovation plans first. We can start the renovation after you confirm them."

"No problem!" Lin Hanchuan yawned again.

After tidying up, Lin Hanchuan and Mo Lingyun went downstairs together for breakfast, and then each took a taxi home.

Lin Hanchuan fought off his sleepiness, took a shower, and then lay down in the game pod to enter the descent.

Inside the weapons factory, Lin Hanchuan opened his eyes and was immediately filled with energy. Players in the virtual world of the game are essentially sleeping and dreaming in reality.

The stars are still asleep.

Lin Hanchuan did not wake her up.

I sat in the corner and opened the control panel.

I didn't log on overnight, and a lot of information appeared on it.

Lin Hanchuan chose to reply to the important ones.

Faceless Passerby: "Boss, the batch of equipment and items you gave me before has been sold, and the money has been transferred to you. Please check your account."

Lin Hanchuan glanced at his account and saw that he had more than 80,000 gold coins, which was twice the previous system purchase price.

Clearly, many of the items inside were sold at a premium.

"The money's in! Do you have time to come to the weapons factory now? The Silver-grade Water Bear Monster Set is about to enter mass production; I need to hand over the sales details to you." — Arakawa White Owl

The faceless passerby had been waiting for Lin Hanchuan to say those words: "I'll be there soon!!"

"Alright! I'll wait for you at the weapons factory!" — Arakawa Hakuyo

After replying to the Faceless Passerby's message, Lin Hanchuan turned his attention to the Heavenly Dao Squad chat group.

There are two pieces of good news.

Eight hours ago.

Long Xiaochen: "Captain, we've got the name of the ruins at the bottom of Green Light Lake. It's called Ancient Moon Gazing City Ruins. There really aren't any wild monsters there. It seems that the existence of those ruins is solely for the two dungeons: [Demon Plant World] and [Demon Plant Master's Obsession]."

Two hours ago.

Cao Renjie: "Boss, we've already taken the first kill of the Green Lake map boss! It's a level 35, handsome-level boss that dropped a lot of good stuff. If you can get the final kill, the drops will definitely be even better and more plentiful!"

There were only these two messages in the group.

After reading it, Lin Hanchuan replied, "Well done!"

Long Xiaochen and his team are actually quite strong. Even without Lin Hanchuan, the Heavenly Dao Squad can still hold its own.

It's just that most of the time when Lin Hanchuan is around.

Long Xiaochen and the others would subconsciously follow Lin Hanchuan's arrangements. Even if they wanted to show off, they would first have to ask Lin Hanchuan's opinion.

Cao Renjie: "Holy crap, boss, you're finally online!"

Long Xiaochen: "You disappeared for more than ten hours. What were you doing there?"

Lin Hanchuan: "Old Mo said he wanted to farm the monster plant resources from the two dungeons, [Monster World] and [Monster Plant Master's Obsession], and sell them to other people. He looked for some players in the group. Old Mo and I went offline to work on the contract signing. We were busy all night and were almost exhausted."

Long Xiaoyue: "You've worked hard! Do you need any help? I'll have my dad arrange some professional staff for you to get the company's internal structure up and running as soon as possible, then you'll be able to relax."

Lin Hanchuan: "Not for now. I've already handed over all the follow-up matters to Lao Mo, hahaha!!"

Long Xiaochen: "Salute to Lao Mo!"

Cao Renjie: "Salute!"

Long Xiaoyue didn't follow suit and instead asked about Xingchen: "Did Xingchen successfully change his job as a plant demon master?"

Lin Hanchuan looked at Xingchen, who was fast asleep, and replied, "Xingchen is still sleeping. After she wakes up, I will help her change her profession to a demon plant master. I will also help her plant the demon plant seeds in the spirit field and hand them over to Aili for cultivation."

Plant masters and plant growers share some commonalities.

For example, planting and cultivating plants.

But Xingchen doesn't have much experience, so it's better to let Alice do this.

Cao Renjie: "Boss, once you're done with this, hurry up and grind monsters to prepare for your second job advancement!"

Lin Hanchuan sighed helplessly: "Sigh! There's no rush for the second advancement!"

Lin Hanchuan was definitely anxious about the upgrade.

The reason for the reluctant reply that there's no rush is not mainly because there are too many things to do right now, but because so far, I haven't found a race I like.

After the second class change, the Berserker Archmage can fuse with the bloodline of a race.

There are many different races around me.

But they are all ranked low.

Lin Hanchuan naturally had no interest.

Just then, a system notification came in.

This is the announcement that all players in District 9 have been waiting for!

"Ding! Attention all players in District 9! The opening event for District 9, [Monster Descent], will be launched in three days!"
