Damn it, this boss really has no normal skills.

Magic City, the headquarters of Tianting Entertainment Company.

Just as technology companies are often not very fond of technology, but are keen on real estate and agriculture, the office environment of entertainment companies is actually not entertaining at all.

KPIs are being pushed every step of the way, publicity plans are jumping left and right, and from time to time there will be some serious emergency public relations events...

Underneath the glamorous appearance of the stars, workers are struggling to make ends meet. Under the steady progress of the project, the grass-roots teams are struggling to survive.

Everyone is holding a broken car that has been repaired and repaired, waiting for it to slowly age and be scrapped, or simply explode into a shocking big melon and rise to the sky.

And today, it seems that they are going to attend the funeral of a car again, and it is also a top-notch luxury car that was smashed by Party A personally.

The ratings on the screen are swooping, the topic value is plummeting, and the popularity of the program is retreating as fast as the white flag of France surrendering.

Howard lowered his gaze and scanned everyone around the table.

This is the top variety show of the new era that you promised me when we were negotiating?

this……

Although everyone is silent at this moment, if the truth is told, the people sitting here are all well-known backbone figures in the industry.

Therefore, the program producer Liu Zhen, who was previously very proud and seemed to have secured victory, could only huddle in the corner obediently, sweating like rain.

It's a pity that even if he puts his head under the table, he can't escape the fate of being liquidated today. He can only hear the benefactor's father's soft cry like the god of death.

Producer Liu, would you like to explain it to the leaders here?

explain? What else is there to explain?

Other companies do full live broadcasts to hide their strength, and there are hot spots every day. The stars of our own family are all cracking up!

[Lin Xiao, the top star of the new generation, refuses to be labeled and does all the martial arts scenes himself]

Then during the live broadcast, she was hung up and beaten by several monkey-like kobolds. If it weren't for the help of the bodyguards, she would have been taken down on the spot as a woman.

[Three praises a day, everyone praises her in unison, why is Xia Qiu always the favorite of the show crew? 】

Then when he visited the Fang Tribe, he had a bad Sima face and refused to eat any food, which completely shattered his beautiful voice, sweet voice and high emotional intelligence persona.

As for the others, although there are relatively few bad jokes on weekdays, they don't have as many laughingstocks for others to catch.

But if it wasn't worse than the others, if it were to compare with the gimmicks and performance of gold medal player groups such as Brothers of Blades and Guns, Nomad Cavalry and Death-seeking Heroes, it would almost make you lose your temper.

The end result is that after the phenomenal popularity in the early stage, Crazy Different Dimension, which lost all its appeal, successfully achieved explosion, opening, explosion and departure.

He has no strength in fighting, no courage in negotiation, and no stamina in farming. He has become a little transparent among the players, and is chosen to be forgotten by everyone.

Even as of last night, their ratings were no longer as good as the one next door, Goblin Tribe Farming, which was shot by Slime and was purely an amateur entertainment project...

And in such a bleak situation, there were actually differences among the seven guests.

Celebrities look down on anchors, and practical people look down on vases. They are broken into several factions, and they seem to be inseparable from each other.

If we don't stop it, I'm afraid the ratings will skyrocket - it means that several guests started fighting on the spot, and everyone will definitely like to see this cruel thing.

Of course, from Howard's perspective, there is another thought behind choosing to end this column.

——He regretted it.

If the mental journey of this top second-generation ancestor on the other side of the ocean were translated into words, it would probably be...

I'm so stupid, really. I only knew that making a big splash when launching the server would attract more players to join, but I didn't know the quality would be so bad!

It's true that you can recruit people by spending a lot of money, but where are the serious talents that you can hire just by spending a little money?

Even if he uses the classic elimination system and salary increases to improve the subjective initiative of employees, no matter how much money you give Jiang Gan, he will not become Zhuge.

On the contrary, in order to maintain his persona and positioning as a rich brother, not only all the activity funds were burned, but he also poured a lot of money into it.

If he hadn't picked up the contemporary Khan [Let the Arrows Fly] to serve as the core of the tactics, he would have been ready to declare to his uncle that the mission had failed.

In other words, the perception of official officials on both sides in the past half month or so is probably...

I'm so envious, I'm so envious. How come they have so much working capital and manpower, and they can even keep some little flies secretly greedy for money?

I'm so envious. I'm so envious. How come they have so many outstanding talents and output at their disposal? Even a little girl can participate in the research and development and experimentation of firearms.

Damn it, if I had known earlier, I would have spent all that money on star players. How many detours have I made!

Howard was getting angrier as he thought about it, and was about to use his long-refined negotiation skills to torture Liu Zhen, when he suddenly received a message from someone in the group.

Reflect on why things about entertainment companies like yours are always so bad!

Leaving a question behind, he walked out of the conference room and came to a deserted corner nearby.

We are dealing with real matters, what is it?

After just hearing two words, his calm and steady expression suddenly froze, followed by a twisted growl.

Wotefa?

Since Andrew's plan was to make a quick profit and stop the loss in time, he naturally had to find a way to tear off the biggest and fattest piece of meat from the Trail Blazers at once.

Not only can he eat with his mouth watering, he can also arouse the opponent's anger to the maximum extent, helping him to clear out the small mercenary group left behind.

Therefore, after the plan was formulated, he sent out personnel in advance to conduct reconnaissance and layout, and found out the traveling time and direction of the pioneer caravan during the day.

It turned out that it might be because the scourge of the Fang Tribe and the Demonic Spirit Tribe had just been put down, and the relaxed environment made transactions in the Pioneer Market extremely frequent.

And a considerable amount of the goods were escorted by the underground city's official caravan and transported in the direction of the two tribes.

And they happen to be located in the north and south corners of the eastern part of the underground plain, far away from the underground city and very close to the mercenary camp.

This place is already at the junction of the two major forces. The Pioneers' control has been infinitely reduced, making it very suitable for operations.

In this case, the right time, the right place, the right people, and all the people are on his side. If he doesn't take action boldly, he will be sorry for the opportunity they created for him!

So at around eleven o'clock that morning, when the mercenaries calculated that the number of pioneers outside was at its lowest, Andrew personally led the attack.

But it was more like an ambush than an attack.

They hid in advance in dangerous areas where the caravan must pass, preparing to wait and see.

And because most players have other matters to deal with as the end of the year approaches, the caravans in the past two days have been independently run by NPCs in the dungeon.

Therefore, looking around, most of the caravans are dog people, as well as lizard people who have gained some trust.

Unfortunately, just a few days of training could not make them qualified caravan guards, and they were not proficient in this trade route that they had not traveled several times.

The few players in the caravan are just small anchors who get paid to do things, and they can't compare with the vigilance and combat effectiveness of those hardcore players.

So although they knew through some literary works that there might be an ambush here, by the time they realized it, it was already too late.

Come on, take away their goods!

With the unlimited plunder promised by the deputy leader, this group of bandits unleashed 200% of their subjective initiative.

Contrary to the usual fishing routine, they surrounded this group of weak orcs without saying a word.

If it were normal, they might still have sex, capture a few and torture them to death for fun.

But the deputy leader said that since he wants to grab more meat from the pioneers, he must do it quickly, and no one is allowed to be left alive!

Although from the player's perspective, this command is actually the same as nothing.

After all, with the existence of a public screen, players can communicate at any time and anywhere, and it is not something that life and death can stop.

But this did not prevent the mercenaries from executing Andrew's orders perfectly. They did not give the caravan a chance to escape and picked up their knives to chop them.

The caravan guard was quickly slaughtered, and all the goods fell into their hands.

With Andrew's planning and encouragement, their plundering of the dungeon caravan went smoothly as hell.

The massive harvest turned into motivation for struggle, allowing them to attack the next caravan.

It's a pity that Andrew's full design and command can make it so organized. Other teams have no luck.

The same goes for robbery and robbery. In order to cover his safe retreat, he also sent out many teams to disturb people.

The purpose of these cannon fodder is to attack the caravans on the other side of the dungeon, as well as the pioneer market, which is almost impossible to capture.

But even for such a simple death mission, these mercenaries were procrastinating and quite disgraceful.

Especially the group that attacked the Pioneer Market. Not only did they not arrive at the target location at the scheduled time, they were also nearly half an hour late.

Unexpectedly, this half-hour time difference gave Andrew a huge help invisibly.

Code Name: Yangyue is just a game after all, and not many players can abandon important matters in reality and go online in seconds.

When they finally had time to prepare to chase the enemy, they learned that the market had also been under heavy attack.

Almost everyone would think that this was a tactic used by thieves and mercenaries to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and the players quickly returned to the market.

But they found that the so-called attackers were just a group of idiots who didn't know how to run away after committing a crime. They were just scum that picked the rest and couldn't make a difference at all.

But after this back and forth, by the time they reacted and returned to the eastern part of the plain, Andrew had already taken a large amount of belongings and hid back in the underground camp without stopping.

Incompetent and furious, they could only return with the mutilated corpses of the caravan guards, and patiently searched carefully for the owner of the corpse.

In the end, I was surprised to find that not only the lizardmen's small number of troops suffered heavy losses, but also that more than half of the dog village suffered casualties...

In an instant, no matter whether they were already online or still busy in reality, whether they were players participating in the game or spectators watching the process, they were all angry.

Back then, we beta testers fought hard for three days and three nights with three thousand goblins, and finally saved the lives of all the goblins, but now more than half of them were lost???

[No, why did the mercenaries suddenly take the initiative? Can anyone tell me what level design logic this is? 】

[I think these mercenaries don’t want to hang out anymore. Brothers, this revenge must be avenged! 】

But amid the excitement, the Players Council did not comply with the plan of the vast majority of people. Instead, it poured cold water on it and put forward objections first.

[We players are indeed powerful when united, but no matter how chaotic and undisciplined that group of mercenaries is, they are still thousands of strong humans with normal IQs]

[It is noon now. Most players, especially the main players, cannot go online. Their combat power is lacking. It is not a good time to attack the mountain mercenaries.]

[So our suggestion is to gather at the entrance of the dungeon at ten o'clock tonight. Let's attack in one fell swoop and destroy the den of thieves and mercenaries! 】

At this moment, a transparent box popped up in the lower right corner of the field of view of all online players.

[Final Trial: The Fourth Natural Disaster Arrives]

[Task introduction: This is the last main mission in the closed beta phase, go and give them a little shock to the players]

[Mission goal: Chase down all the mountain mercenaries who are trying to escape at all costs]

[Task reward: distributed according to the number of surviving mercenaries, up to the resurrection of all NPCs who died in this event, and additional limited titles]

[Current number of surviving mercenaries: 5259]

It turned out to be a final trial similar to the original closed beta!

The players who were still hesitating about how to explain to Rhubarb Chimis and the others after so many people died suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and set their sights on this reward.

As long as these mercenaries can be killed, the dead NPCs can be resurrected...

In fact, there is no need to wait until evening, all the players who can be online will be online throughout the afternoon.

Those who rush to level up before the battle, those who earn money to exchange equipment, and those who discuss night offensives are all seriously preparing for war.

Although it has not yet reached the level of unity that was achieved during the closed beta test, the scene of thousands of people working together in one place is still quite shocking.

And even in such an urgent and special situation, some players still read the hints in the mission description.

[Have you noticed that the NPCs that can be resurrected are not the NPCs killed by the mercenaries, but the NPCs who died in this event! 】

[In other words, we can also ask people from other tribes for help. As long as we can make the mission a complete success, we can achieve a perfect ending with zero deaths! 】

Although this guess is a bit bold, if it is actually implemented, it would also be a bit of a gamble.

But when the player council was still hesitating whether to ask the tribes of the underground plains to send reinforcements, Argus, the pure-loving old cow, took the initiative to bring hundreds of tauren to the city gate.
