The Boss Behind The Game - Chapter 9

Chapter 9

Wu Guoyi hung up immediately at Mu Qingshui’s unreasonable request .

Turning off the table lamp, Wu Guoyi wanted to continue sleeping at first, but Mu Qingshui’s words were repeating themselves in his mind .

As he couldn’t fall asleep, Wu Guoyi finally turned on the lamp and walked into the reading room .

He rubbed his eyes and turned his computer on . When the machine was booted up, he logged into the admin page of Platform173, and clicked on the list of games pending verification .

Among the hundred plus games, it took him quite a while to find the one named Battle Online mentioned by Mu Qingshui .

Just like what Mu Qingshui said, the game was surprisingly small, only 800 megabytes . Wu Guoyi was still for a moment, before he took down the VR headset, connected it to the PC, and downloaded the game into it .

With an intention of testing the waters, Wu Guoyi entered the game .

When the game booted up, Wu Guoyi’s eyes were wide open . The graphics were perfect, just like what Mu Qingshui said .

Wu Guoyi, still doubtful, continued to search far and wide in the game for bugs like invisible walls and such .

He spent the whole night playing, until he entered the Ghost Mountains and met a netherworld creature . He was knocked out with one hit and it was game over .

After quitting the game, he was still quite excited . A moment of contemplation passed before he fished out his phone from his pocket and called the platform’s manager .

The manager of Platform173, who picked up the phone freaked out . Usually, Wu Guoyi would not call him .

“Sun Chi, find out who developed Battle Online right now, immediately, at this instant! Then, send me their contact information . ”

Manager Sun was a little puzzled, but he immediately received the task .

He did not dare delay his boss’s order, so he quickly logged into the backend portal of the website .

But when he found the game, he noticed that only the developer’s website was noted down, with no mention of their telephone numbers . This made him anxious .

Thankfully, they had a verification mailbox . He quickly typed a short paragraph and sent it to Lu Wu .

After that, he waited for the reply .

At the same time, Lu Wu was having a meal with Bei Li at a store by the road . His phone vibrated .

When he took out his phone, he realized that he had received an email from Platform173 .

Feeling excited, Lu Wu opened the email .

Sadly it wasn’t to notify that his game had been verified . It was an email asking for his contact number .

While he wasn’t sure why they needed it, he still sent his number over .

Looking at Bei Li who was chowing down her food voraciously, Lu Wu smiled gently and slipped his phone back into his pocket . He rubbed her head, suddenly feeling sorry for Bei Li because she had to follow him through the many difficult days .

Pacing around the room anxiously, Sun Chi finally saw the notification of the long awaited reply, and he quickly clicked on it .

He saw the numbers that his boss wanted . He immediately exhaled in relief, and forwarded the number to his boss, Wu Guoyi .

Just like Sun Chi, Wu Guoyi was sitting in his reading room, smoking . The ashtray was filled with cigarette butts to the brim . His red eyes were a sign of a sleepless night .

But Wu Guoyi was still very excited, because he knew that this was a chance for the platform to rise .

After reading Sun Chi’s message, he immediately called Lu Wu without any hesitation .

“Hello, may I know who this is?” a young voice answered .

Wu Guoyi inhaled deeply, and said, “Hello, are you the owner of Battle Online? I am in charge of Platform173, and I have something to discuss with you . Are you available?”

Lu Wu was surprised, but thought that there were some issues with his game that the platform wanted to talk about . “Alright, no problem, I will be there soon!” he replied .

“It’s alright, I can come to you . Where are you?” Wu Guoyi asked quickly .

From these words, Lu Wu realized that his game was being recognized, and was subtly expecting more . He then sent his location to Wu Guoyi .

Wu Guoyi was still excited after he hung up the phone . He was going to arrange a flight, but he realized that Lu Wu was also in Indigo City .

He quickly contacted his driver to pick him up . He changed his clothes, tidied himself up, and left his home hurriedly .

Within twenty minutes, he arrived at the place shown on the navigation app .

There was an old restaurant in the distance . Confirming that the location coordinates on his phone were correct, he left the car and walked toward the restaurant .

It was noon, so there was quite a number of patrons . Looking around, Wu Guoyi couldn’t tell which one was Lu Wu, so he took out his phone to make a call .

Then, he saw Lu Wu who was picking up the phone .

Wu Guoyi took a step forward, “Nice to meet you… I’m Wu Guoyi… we talked on the phone!”

Lu Wu was shocked . He did not expect Wu Guoyi to arrive so soon . He stood up and shook Wu Guoyi’s hand .

“Hello, how may I help you?”
