VCRMM: Chapter 116 Part 2

“Okay, stop talking nonsense.” After waiting a while, Xu Fengqing’s voice was heard again. “The problem must always be solved.”

Originally, the investment in Starry Sky Age was the Xu family’s personal behavior and the use was also their private property. Then the project became too expensive. Later, additional investment was made in the name of the Xu Group, reaching a proportion of 10%.

Due to the economic crisis in the middle, the Xu Group sold some shares.

Now the Xu Group wasn’t completely controlled by the Xu family. Xu Fengqing held 30% of the shares, Xu Yuheng had 20% and the Xu parents had 5% each. The remaining 40% were in the hands of the shareholders headed by Lin Hua.

Shareholders didn’t have management rights but as CEO, Xu Fengqing needed to be responsible for the interests of the shareholders.

The Starry Sky Age project wasn’t profitable for a long time so Lin Hua united with various small and medium sized shareholders to prepare to remove him, using the grounds that Xu Fengqing’s ability was insufficient.

In addition to this, Lin Hua was the chairman of the Lin Group and had a lot of cooperation with the Xu Group. Once this cooperation was interrupted, it was likely to lead to the breakdown of the capital chain of the Xu Group.

Once the capital chain went wrong, it wasn’t far from bankruptcy.

“I didn’t invest in Starry Sky Age for profit, but obviously, its results have far exceeded expectations. This proves Xiao Li’s vision.”

At the beginning, Xu Fengqing fully supported the development of this game in order to fulfill his brother’s legacy. He never thought about how much benefit he could receive from it.

Therefore, Lin Hua’s intentions and coveting the game also made him angry.

“Even if the Xu family really goes bankrupt in the end, we still have the last card of Starry Sky Age. We just need to buy time and it isn’t impossible to rely on this card to turn things over.”

Xu Yuheng never expected that his older brother would think about bankruptcy so seriously.

At this moment, he controlled his emotions.

Everything was easy to say as long as the file of Starry Sky Age wasn’t deleted and things restarted.

“Brother, you don’t have to be so pessimistic. You just need to deal with Lin Hua and those old foxes first. I have already thought of a solution for the Xu family’s side. There should be a result soon after the second closed beta is opened.”

Xu Yuheng comforted him.

“Oh? What way?” Xu Fengqing raised an eyebrow. The Xu Group’s main business had little to do with game. How could it be related to the second closed beta?

Xu Yuheng didn’t tell him immediately and only said, “I just plan to give full play to the advantages of this game.”

“Big brother, don’t underestimate Starry Sky Age. It will become the second world of human beings in the future. Now is the beginning stage so it is more difficult. You just need to wait for an opportunity for it to break out.”

“Okay.” Xu Fengqing nodded. “It is only a week before the second closed beta of the game. I’ll wait and see.”

Xu Yuheng sighed. He remembered his plan just now and couldn’t help asking, “When do you plan to enter the game and play? This is a holographic game.”

“I have already experienced it during the beta phase.”

“It is different!”

“Let’s talk about it later.”

In the end, Xu Yuheng failed to persuade him to enter the game during the second closed beta. In his busy state, it would probably be difficult for him to find time in the near future.

So in order for his big brother to enter the game as soon as possible, it was necessary to solve the company’s crisis first.

Xu Yuheng thought like this and picked up a document.

The second closed beta had released 5,000 places for players to reserve but he won five places out of this. Whether the company’s crisis could be solved as soon as possible depended on the strength of these five candidates.

He looked at the collected information and called them one by one…

In the game, Xu Sili and Si Sheng had successfully arrived at Seizing Star City.

Seizing Star City was very beautiful, just like its name. According to the historical records, it was once one of the most prosperous cities in the Roland Empire.

Now this star that fell on the plateau was surrounded by dense interstellar beasts and looked precarious.

Compared with Orchid Moon and Glass Sea, the two cities of Seizing Star and Twilight Frost were far from Imperial City and were surrounded by interstellar beasts. Looking down from the sky, it made those with trypophobia feel frightened.

Fortunately, the protective barrier of Seizing Star City was strong enough and it wasn’t full of holes like Orchid Moon City. The defenders didn’t need to be on guard against the interstellar beasts that might attack at any time.

The administrator of Seizing Star City was also sober enough. He didn’t seek to clean up the interstellar beasts and spent more energy on development and production.

This also led to the fact that the overall situation of Seizing Star City was better than Glass Sea City, even though its geographical environment was difficult.

Xu Sili and his shuttle headed toward the central town and saw a large pasture below. There were herds of cattle and sheep walking around the lush meadow.

The sky was clear and the wilderness was vast. The wind blew the grass and they could see the cattle and sheep.

Xu Sili was really surprised to see such a scene in early winter.

“It is a wood elementalist.”

Si Sheng probably saw his doubts and answered them.

Hearing this answer, Xu Sili was even more surprised.

He always felt that the Roland Empire only sent elementalists to fight, which was really a bit wasteful. Now it seemed that there was an administrator with the same thoughts as him.

If that was the case, the engineering team sent over might be able to focus more on construction.

Xu Sili curiously opened the panel belonging to Seizing Star City. This city was indeed different from the other three main cities.

Not only had the three level 1 urban areas required to upgrade the city to level 2 been built, but the food and clothing rate of the residents had reached 80%.

There was no doubt that this was a thriving main city.

Due to the existence of the guardian barrier and the vast land, they could be self-sufficient in the face of many enemies.

This state of development was very good and saved Xu Sili a lot of effort.

The moment the two way teleportation circle was completed, several main cities would communicate and exchange more experience. This might create different surprises.

Xu Sili liked this city.

However, he could also see that Seizing Star City lacked a strong guard force.

If the guardian barrier disappeared then this paradise-like city would probably have no power in front of the interstellar beasts.

Of course, there was no need to worry about the guardian barrier at present. This ancient circle that took 50 years of life from the former emperor to activate was still operating well.

Xu Sili sent the construction team to the palace and walked around the city with Si Sheng as usual.

Compared with Imperial City, the resources of Seizing Star City were still somewhat scarce. After all, the food and clothing rate had only reached 80%. There was still a long way to go to completely reach 100%.

Xu Sili gained a certain understanding of the situation in Seizing Star City and carefully considered it. Finally, he secretly went to see the administrator of Seizing Star City.

He observed with Insight and really found something special about the administrator.

[Gao Yang]

[Identity: Special talent NPC.

Personal level: Lv 5

Health: 9,000/9,000

Elemental Affinity: None

Special talent: Animal husbandry (100% increase in income when operating animal husbandry, including a 150% increase in income when raising sheep).]

Xu Sili couldn’t help laughing. The game team really had enough wicked fun when designing this NPC.

He had a small impression of Gao Yang.

Gao Yang was also a card in Game of the Gods but it was a white card and the skills were trash.

He could turn the designated target into a lamb for 10 minutes but it couldn’t be used in battle.

This card was only suitable for pranks. However, it was due to this special skill that Xu Sili had a deep impression. He hadn’t expected the game team to change his skill to animal husbandry.

Nevertheless, it felt quite suitable for him.

It was a card produced by Game of the Gods, even if it was a white card. Therefore, Gao Yang’s appearance wasn’t low.

He looked to be only 25 or 26 years old. He was thin and fair-skinned. Perhaps it was due to his skills but he looked like a little white flower. He was like a little sheep with no temper.

Gao Yang knew about Si Sheng’s arrival and was mentally prepared. He just never expected that Si Sheng would be followed by a young man with silver hair and purple eyes.

It was impossible for him to not know the identity of this young man.

For a while, his legs were a bit soft.

“I greet Your Majesty…” He was about to kneel in a trembling manner.

“Don’t be nervous.” Xu Sili didn’t have any pretensions and stopped him. “You run Seizing Star City very well. This emperor is very optimistic about you.”

Gao Yang bowed again with sincerity and fear.

Looking at the ‘Reverence’ label above his head, Xu Sili hesitated for a moment before finally deciding to arrange a task for him.

Gao Yang heard Xu Sili’s words clearly and he couldn’t help his eyes widening. “You mean… let this servant preside over the seal lifting ceremony of Seizing Star City?”

“That is correct.”

Xu Sili nodded. Since Seizing Star City had reached the standard and he happened to be here, it was better to directly upgrade Seizing Star City to level 2. In any case, only one level 2 star core was needed.

“You should’ve watched my live broadcast that day. I said that the Roland Empire was sealed and the loosening of the seal is related to national strength.”

Xu Sili looked at Gao Yang and spoke seriously.

“I wasn’t being polite when I said that you run Seizing Star City very well. I can feel that the seal of Seizing Star City has been loosened and it can be unlocked with just the final ceremony.”

Gao Yang’s eyes widened and his dark eyes were full of incredulity. “What you said… is true?”

“Of course. I don’t have to lie to you.”

Xu Sili added, “As the administrator, you should know something, right? The elementalists training in Seizing Star City can’t break through one star no matter what.”

This was also the reason why there was no elementalist branch here. No matter how dangerous it was, the children who had been tested and found to have a talent needed to be sent to Imperial City.

It was only in the level 2 Imperial City that NPCs could break through.

In the other level 1 main cities, the level of NPCs was limited to 10. If the main city wasn’t upgraded then this star limit couldn’t be lifted.

“Your Majesty, you mean…”

“After this ceremony, the star limit of Seizing Star City will be lifted and the local elementalists will be able to reach a strength of two stars.”

The administrator received Xu Sili’s affirmative answer and almost cried with joy.

He forcibly endured his excitement and said uncertainly, “Should I really preside over it?”

“Yes, you are the administrator of Seizing Star City. Seizing Star City has today because of you. I am very relieved to leave this matter to you.”

Xu Sili’s affirmation caused the administrator, who originally respected him, to have a big increase in favorability.

After all, he had been presiding over the affairs of the city for many years. He looked a bit moderate but he showed super efficiency when doing things.

That night, he organized all matters before calmly walking to the summoning circle that had been built in front of a live broadcast camera. Then he stuffed a level 2 star core into the groove.

A pillar of light soared into the sky and Seizing Star City was smoothly upgraded from level 1 to level 2.

Xu Yuheng received this news and got a huge headache. He couldn’t wait to rush into the game to let his brother slow down.

😂😂😂. I can’t wait to see when Xu Yuheng went into the game to lecture Sili, and Sili innocently asked, 2nd brother, isn’t this what you wanted me to do? To promote Starry Sky Age to players? I had to level up more before I had authority to improve the foods and scenic spots lol.
