To ascend, I had no choice but to create games

Chapter 496: Chapter 292 Persuasion (First Update)_3

“Vice President, she’s a fervent fan of Gong Gong, to the point of obsession. I just happen to know Gong Gong, so I sent her one of his autographs, and she started treating me as her confidant, giving me some information about Gong Gong every day, and in return, she granted me some extra benefits. Otherwise, with my points, there’s no way I could have gotten these items.”

The sudden truth left Chen Rang silent, and only after a while did he ask bitterly, “Why are you telling me this?”

“What I mean is, you’re someone with ambitions and talents as well, but the current system will only bury your talents and aspirations, whereas someone like me, with connections in the real world, can rise up more easily.”

“Isn’t that just the way the real world works?”

Gong Gong looked at Chen Rang with a meaningful glance, “But this is a game. Does what exists in reality necessarily have to appear in the game as well? And even if it does exist in reality, does that make it right?”

That statement struck Chen Rang like a bolt from the blue, waking him up.

Right, this is the world of the game.

Did we have to let those filthy things from reality seep in?

Giving Chen Rang time to think, Gong Gong continued with his eloquent persuasion, “Look, you’ve worked so hard for so long, and yet you haven’t been able to provide better conditions for the one you care about. Is that fair?”

“It’s not quite fair…”

Chen Rang didn’t catch on, but Mukuai beside him blushed and looked at Chen Rang uneasily.

Sighing at the beauty of youth and thinking pure love wasn’t so bad either, Gong Gong continued, “I also appreciate talent, Chen Rang, and your abilities should not go to waste. I’m currently establishing a new guild, and you have a real talent with the pen. I need your help. Come, let’s accomplish great things together.”

“But the guild I’m in currently isn’t treating me poorly.”

With a sneer, Gong Gong replied, “Not treating you poorly? Does your so-called good treatment mean hoarding the materials you worked hard to obtain for themselves, or does it refer to the guild higher-ups who do nothing every day, yet receive a bounty of materials? Or me, who climbed the ranks through nepotism? You receive only a fifth of what you earn in a day’s labor. Do you think that’s fair?”

“But if it weren’t for the guild’s platform, I wouldn’t be able to get as much.”

“Then think about it, could you get these things without the guild?”

After some thought, Chen Rang realized that without the guild’s monopoly, it seemed he too could obtain these things.

In the game, as long as one went to buy from NPCs, one could surely get anything; in reality, the guild artificially created demand, demands that essentially didn’t need to exist.

Having understood this, he immediately saw the advantages and disadvantages, and then came anger.

I’m working for you, and I’m supposed to thank you, huh!

Having understood, he immediately said to Gong Gong, “Okay, I’m willing!”

“Good, shall we go find Gong Gong tomorrow?”

“Find you?”

“No, the one who’s a streamer. The one who shamelessly started with selling sex and crude jokes every day.”

“Oh, I will.”

Calming down again, he realized Gong Gong was still filthy, and said apologetically, “Sorry, I’ll find you some cleaning supplies. Uh, do you need something to eat as well?”

“No need, I’m already full.”

“Full on what?”

“Dog food.”

Confused, he turned his head to see Mukuai cautiously hooking onto his clothes, looking awkward, which made him feel embarrassed as well.

Seeing this scene, Gong Gong belched.

Really couldn’t eat any more.
