Chapter 8: Business

Unfortunately, something is destined to find Tai Lun today.

When he just opened the book, his artificial intelligence butler suddenly popped up a very eye-catching prompt box: "Dear master, someone is looking for you in the real world! Warning, please deal with this message immediately, your life support device is under Fail!"

As mentioned earlier, Pei Rong's body has been relying on machinery to maintain its life due to a congenital genetic disease, and it will die if it is not careful, which makes him dare not even go offline.

Tai Lun had no choice, so he chose to turn on the video device in the real world and talk to the person who came to him.

The person who came to him was Pei Rong's sister, Pei Ying.

As soon as Pei Ying saw the video window open, revealing the face of his brother's avatar, she immediately cried, "Brother, why don't you answer my communications or reply to my emails?"

Tai Lun had already changed Pei Rong's email address and communication number, and he didn't want to be contacted at all.

But I didn't expect this girl to be so ruthless, looking directly from the real world, and regardless of whether the brother's life was hanging by a thread in the life capsule, she directly tried to turn off the instrument and forced him to show up with a warning.

Tyron said, "Turn on the instrument. What do you want?"

The previous sentence was addressed to the AI steward, who immediately began to check the life support device and reported to Tai Lun: Fortunately, Pei Ying didn't know how to operate it, and Pei Rong's body was not affected.

Pei Ying didn't notice anything else at all, and said straight to the point: "Brother, why did you send me the account password of the game character?"

Tai Lun said with a pun: "Your brother's money and valuables have been given to you, and your name is also written on the real estate certificate. If 'your brother' dies, you will inherit all these."

Pei Ying said, "Well...brother, have you made it to the semi-finals? That number 419 player is you, right?"

Tai Lun was most annoyed by this kind of entanglement, and said, "Speak directly if you have something to say."

Pei Ying bit her lip and said, "Brother, you are going to fight Lu Chaofan next, right? He wants to negotiate a business with you, but you don't reply to his emails, and you can't be contacted by other methods." , so I asked about it. I think... I think our family is short of money now, so I want to ask you."

Now, Tyron already knew what was going on.

Hey, the fraudulent little black road Chaofan has found him, want him to play a fake match together

Tai Lun felt very funny again, but he didn't show it, and said to Pei Ying, "Is it one million? How much do you need?"

Pei Ying was a little surprised, she lowered her head and said, "You know about Sixian, brother. I need money, the more the better, I, I want half a million..."

"Oh." Tai Lun said, "I'll give you an email address, and you ask Lu Chaofan to contact me."

Pei Ying said: "No, no need bro. I have talked with him many times. If you agree, I will send you a contract tomorrow!"

Tai Lun knew at a glance that she had received an agency fee, and she wanted to laugh even more, and said, "You are too tired to be caught in the middle, I can talk about this matter myself."

Pei Ying quickly said: "No, no, I'm not tired, brother! You are sick, let me do these things."

The corner of Tai Lun's mouth twitched slightly: "I see, you can send me the contract tomorrow."

Pei Rong would never lie to his sister, so Pei Ying felt relieved immediately.

Pei Ying hurriedly greeted her relatives again, and after chatting for a few words, she pretended that she was going to catch up with work, and left with an overjoyed expression on her face.

— One million, and half a million

Tai Lun returned to the virtual world and opened Lu Chaofan's personal official website again.

After watching for a while, Tai Lun stroked his chin, revealing an evil smile.

"Good business."

Half an hour later, Tai Lun registered a brand new mailbox, wrote to Lu Chaofan's public mailbox, directly stating that he was number 419, and attached an identity certificate from the league's official website.

Not long after, Lu Chaofan wrote back and asked him to meet at a virtual restaurant.

Judging from the speed of his appointment, it is estimated that he has not been able to contact No. 419 for a long time. The game is about to start, and he is very anxious to think about it.

Tai Lun didn't let him go, and went to the appointment very readily.

In less than half an hour, they met in a certain private room. Because it was a virtual world, it was certain that the conversation would never be heard or recorded.

After sitting down, Lu Chaofan was indeed quite eager, and explained to him the contract to be signed as soon as he came up.

"A total of three million, that's what was agreed." Lu Chaofan said, "A deposit of five hundred thousand, and the rest will be given to you after the game."

Three million, that's amazing, Pei Ying, who cut it into one million at the beginning, and then divided it in half, leaving one-sixth to my brother in one fell swoop.

The corner of Tai Lun's mouth twitched, and he said with a half-smile: "When will we talk about it?"

Lu Chaofan was anxious: "You have to admit it, your sister agreed yesterday!"

Tai Lun took a sip of water and said, "You have been cheated, I don't have a sister."

Lu Chaofan: "..."

After a few seconds, Lu Chaofan figured it out. The person who claimed to be the girl from 419 was actually a liar

Then he gritted his teeth and cursed angrily: "X! You tricked me! I want her to look good when I go back!"

Lu Chaofan re-negotiated the contract with Tai Lun, and the content was roughly as follows:

No. 419 was in charge of acting and lost to him according to the script he wrote.

And he gave a deposit of 500,000 at the beginning, and the remaining 2.5 million will be paid in one go after they finish the game and Lu Chaofan wins.

There is also a penalty for breach of contract in the contract. If either party fails to perform its obligations, or discloses the contract, an additional fine of 20 million will be imposed.

Tai Lun said: "The champion of the individual competition in the Earth region is five million, but your contract is only three million?"

Lu Chaofan said: "You are just one of the top four, with a 25% chance of winning the championship, you want five million now?"

Tai Lun said lightly: "It's up to you? Probability is just an excuse for the weak. If I want to, the champion must be mine."

Lu Chaofan was so angry with his arrogance that his teeth ached, and he sneered and said, "You think I'm just buying off money all the way up? Let me tell you, you have to sign this contract if you sign it, or you have to sign it if you don't!"

Tyronn said, "I don't see anything in you that could threaten me."

Lu Chaofan took out his phone and played a video for him.

This video is a video of Lu Chaofan abusing food in the preliminary round. In this game, the players facing him were particularly slow to react. As long as Lu Chaofan made a move, the opponent would be beaten; on the contrary, when the opponent made a move, he was like an old man, and it took a long time to target Lu Chaofan.

Tyron saw something.

Lu Chaofan said: "I'm not afraid to tell you that in the finals, the assistant director is from my side. If you dare to try to fight against me, I will let you try what it feels like to add 0.2 seconds to the delay out of thin air."

Latency is a parameter of internet speed.

The high latency means that the network speed is slow—the person on the other side released a skill, only to realize half a second later that he could dodge it, but now he can’t dodge it. What kind of aggrieved feeling is this

A person's reaction ability is generally around 0.3 to 0.4 seconds. The more top e-sports masters, the faster the reaction. The star-level champions of this era generally do not exceed 0.3 seconds.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the delay is added out of thin air by 0.2 seconds, players who play close combat will lose more than two segments. The world's top 500 will fall to the second-rate masters, and the second-rate masters will directly disappear from the crowd, so what else can they use to compete with their opponents

Lu Chaofan himself watched it with gusto, and said, "Do you know what happened to this man? The audience asked for a refund after watching the game, saying that he was unresponsive like a tortoise, and his skills were like a grandmother pushing a stroller... Really Unexpectedly, all the netizens are so talented, I really laughed to death. If it was me who was ridiculed so much, I would have no face to live in this world! Do you know the expression on his face at that time? I like to see this kind of aggrieved so much Stabbing Lao Tzu to death, the result is still a crushing defeat."

Tai Lun thought for a while and said, "If I don't appear here, will it be the same in tomorrow's game?"

Lu Chaofan grinned and said, "What do you think? If I didn't want the semi-finals to be played according to the script, would I have come here to sign a contract with you?"

There was a flash of thought in Tai Lun's eyes, and he said: "In this case, this 3 million contract is the best choice for me? I can sign this contract, but there is an additional condition. "

Lu Chaofan: "Do you still dare to negotiate terms with me?"

Tai Lun smiled: "I want to see the venue. Since you know the assistant director, it must be easy to go in and watch it in advance."

Lu Chaofan's eyes stopped on Tai Lun's face for a while. Although he couldn't see his face through the hood, there was neither anger nor hatred in Tai Lun's dark golden eyes—it seemed that he was quite satisfied with the contract.

If he will put forward conditions, it shows that he is indeed sincere about signing the contract.

Lu Chaofan thought for a while and said, "I can take you to the rehearsal."

The relationship between Lu Chaofan and the assistant director is real, and the assistant director came here to pick him up.

That night, they entered the venue.

The staff for the finals were all rehearsing, and the entire backstage was in order. Everyone remembered to come and say hello to Lu Chaofan.

They went to the stage to take another look. At this time, a host was flying on the stage to speak lines.

Lu Chaofan said: "The competition venue is randomly selected, so you can't fake it. You have seen the table here and the rest area behind, are you satisfied?"

Tai Lun glanced at the host—she is a well-known female player of a goblin game, and she was specially invited to host this semifinals. She is a little fairy with dragonfly wings, her palm-sized body exudes sparkling light spots, holding a microphone in the shape of a dandelion, and she speaks the host's lines while being cute.

Tai Lun looked at the venue thoughtfully, and said, "It's over."

Lu Chaofan took out the contract and said coldly: "Then sign it. I will send the script of the game to your email in a while. Remember, don't do unnecessary things. The penalty of 20 million yuan is based on my reputation level." Sure, you guys like Dousheng can't afford to lose your family and property!"
