During the period of Holy Spirit Maintenance, Leaping Nuclear held a departure ceremony for the Dispute World Championship.
The Dissidia World Championship will be held in a month in Las Vegas, the Eagle Country.
The departure ceremony was not very grand. They just bought a lot of luxurious takeout at the club's base and the players and logistics staff ate and drank.
"What should I do...I feel like I have a Holy Spirit forbidden reaction. I haven't played Holy Spirit for almost eleven hours and I'm going to die." Little Feather, a logistics staff member, complained while gnawing on a chicken leg.
"Is the Holy Spirit you're talking about really that fun? I haven't been eligible to draw for almost half a year."
The data analyst of Leaping Nuclear listened to everyone's discussion and finally had the chance to complain. He might be the only one among Leaping Nuclear players and logistical staff who failed to get the qualification to test the Holy Spirit after drawing for half a year.
"Bingyu, you have to seize the opportunity this time. After the maintenance is over, Holy Spirit will issue 150,000 places at one time. I heard from their analysis that some well-known players and anchors have a high chance of getting the test code. For example, most of the top 10,000 players in the Dispute Ladder have obtained the test qualification." Heiguozhurou put his arm around the neck of the data analyst named Bingyu.
"Of course I know this. The algorithm for Holy Spirit's playing qualifications has long been analyzed online. Not only Dissidia, but also other games' high-level players have a high chance of getting the qualifications. Even the number of PS6 platinum trophies collected will increase the probability of winning." Bingyu slapped Hei Guo Zhu Rou's hand and said, "It should be my turn this time. But by the way, are you curious about what the boss is talking about with Coach Song?"
Bingyu looked towards the corner of the venue for the expedition ceremony. Mo Shigui and President Yin were standing by the French window in the corner. They seemed to be talking about something, but the distance was too far for people here to hear.
"Let's talk about the guild." Juan Canyun whispered beside him.
"Guild?" Bing Yu seemed to remember something and asked Juan Canyun directly, "Xiao Wen, how many members of our guild are there in the Holy Spirit?"
Juan Canyun shook his head when faced with this question. He had never participated in the management of the guild and had no idea about the number of members in the guild.
"The main guild, Leaping Nuclear, is fully staffed with 1,000 people, and there are four branch guilds, each with 4,000 people. There are about 5,000 Holy Spirit players affiliated with us." As a logistics staff member, Little Feather knows this aspect very well.
"Five thousand people? How many Holy Spirit players are there? Is this... what the boss meant?"
Bingyu was shocked when she heard this number. You have to know that during the ten years of Conflict, there were only three official guilds of Leaping Nuclear, and the rest were guilds established by fans themselves. However, the game of Holy Spirit only had 130,000 players, but President Yin directly established five core guilds.
"What the boss meant... Judging from Coach Song's surprised tone, the facility should be expanded further." Little Feather pricked up his ears and secretly listened to the conversation between Mo Shigui and President Yin.
Mo Shigui just asked in surprise...
"Do you want to continue the branch meeting?"
"With 150,000 newbies pouring in this time, we should open another six, seven, eight or nine branches." Mr. Yin nodded and expressed his thoughts.
"What's the point?" Mo Shigui rubbed his brows with a headache. "Although the Holy Spirit now has a faction system, it has not yet launched a national war system. Even if there is a national war, do you really think that the resources needed to operate so many branches can be compensated by the national war system?"
When Holy Spirit distributed game qualifications on a large scale for the first time, President Yin established three branches and offered salaries to the players of the first branch. The other two guilds could also join the second branch as long as they worked hard enough.
In Mo Shigui's view, this is a means of recruiting talents. Several of the legendary professional players sitting here were recruited by Mo Shigui using this method.
But President Yin still has no intention of stopping the pace of establishing branches... It seems that he is not going to build just one or two more, but is heading towards tens of branches.
If it is a guild established by fans out of love, there is no problem. This kind of guild does not need to be managed by the official Leaping Nuclear. However, what Mr. Yin established are the core guilds with official affiliation. Players with outstanding performance can even get an employment contract with Leaping Nuclear.
In Mo Shigui's opinion, all of this is preparation for the national war system that Holy Spirit may launch in the future. Any online game will have a similar system. Now the camp of Kuroshio Island has already taken shape.
But the problem is... managing so many branches requires huge funds, resources and manpower support. Can the income from a national war really... make up for the investment
"The Holy Spirit Fund has made me a lot of money, but I have been thinking about one thing while playing the Holy Spirit." Mr. Yin looked through the glass window at the upper city in the distance under the neon lights. From here, he could vaguely see the Huangpu River in the upper city.
"What's up?"
"Contestant Zhao mentioned to you about... when the Holy Spirit first started testing, was there any information about the Abyss Hunt on Jiangcheng Pedestrian Street?" Mr. Yin suddenly asked.
"I was told that there were videos online... I didn't have an account at that time, but wasn't that a test of the other world?" When Mo Shigui heard this, he recalled the look of Zhao Mingwei hesitating when he described these things. He always felt that Zhao Mingwei was hiding something.
"Test? Well... it is a test, but the monster spawning mechanism of Holy Spirit is different from other games." Mr. Yin said.
“…” Mo Shigui did not answer.
The monster spawning mechanisms of Holy Spirit's Brand Island and Kuroshio Island have many similarities with the online games he is familiar with. For example, the monsters on the two islands all grow out of the soil, but these creatures have their own living habits. Take the Flame Cinder Dragon as an example. The cubs of the Flame Cinder Dragon couple have already hatched. Some players have observed the couple walking in the depths of the island.
This strange ecosystem exists everywhere on Kuroshio Island and Brand Island. There are many large-scale stand-alone games on the market now, and some of them portray the monster ecosystem very realistically, but this is the first time in an online game because there is no need.
"Sometimes the Holy Spirit refreshes various monsters without any pattern. For example, the last time the Annihilation Legion came, it was also very sudden. Although the other world does have a reward copy called Abyss Hunt... there was also the monster siege on Brand Island." Mr. Yin said.
"But these monsters were solved by players from all servers together. The purpose of you establishing so many branches is to be able to defeat players from other clubs when the national war system is launched in the future." Mo Shigui was silent for a while and continued, "The Holy Spirit will definitely launch a city-building or even nation-building system in the future. Do you really think that the Holy Spirit will have a copy that requires tens of thousands of people to defend in the future?"
"I'm not sure about that. The Holy Spirit Fund has tripled the turnover of my hot pot restaurant. It's still unknown whether the extra money can be invested in the construction of the guild in the Holy Spirit to make a profit. But to be honest, I still want peace of mind." President Yin was looking at the Huangpu River in the distance. The scene of the Flame Cinder Dragon falling into the Huangpu River was still vivid in his mind.
"For peace of mind?"
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Holy Spirit is about to be launched. We have too many guilds and are short of funds! And our players still have a lot of time left in the live broadcast contract they signed with Raccoon Live. Have you finished eating? After you finish eating, wait for Holy Spirit to be launched and start live broadcasting!"
President Yin turned his gaze back to the contestants and support staff who were eavesdropping on their conversation and shouted.
"The version of the Holy Spirit Mall that goes online happens to be when the show is at its best! It's online!"
