Chapter 624: Chapter 607: "Assault Before Prison" Comes Fiercely

Su Tong continued: "We can also provide a unique set of ’Nine Dragon Training Method’ for cultivators in the game.

"As the name suggests, ’Nine Dragons’ refers to the nine types of ancient Dragonbeast tribes existing in the cultivation world. These Dragonbeasts can all be refined into different attribute dragon elixirs to enhance various abilities of cultivators.

"For instance, the Molten Shell Dragon has tough skin and thick flesh; elixirs made from it can promote body refinement and increase resistance to attacks;

"The Nether Spirit Dragon has powerful spiritual strength; elixirs made from it can enhance a cultivator’s Divine Sense;

"The Camouflaged Dragon can disguise itself according to the environment’s color; elixirs made from it help improve transformation abilities;

"The Rotting Claw Dragon survives on decayed food, providing special help in cultivating soul-related spells.

"Therefore, the content of the Nine Dragon Training Method is as follows:

"Molten Shell Dragon Elixir, one set, each set contains 2 pills;

"Nether Spirit Dragon Elixir, two sets, each set contains 1 injection;

"Camouflaged Dragon Elixir, one set, each set contains 5 pills;

"Rotting Claw Dragon Elixir, one set, each set contains half a pill, taken every other day...

"Of course, depending on different training objectives, the usage and dosage of these dragon elixirs need to be adjusted accordingly.

"After taking the elixirs, during training, one must pay attention to reaching a peak contraction state, using specific spiritual energy rooms and cultivation techniques to enhance the feedback of the target body, with a 5-minute rest between sets.

"Finally, take one piece of the Small Longevity Liver Protection Pill to conclude."

Zhou Yang struggled to hold back his laughter, trying to keep his expression from appearing too strange.

He was very curious about what kind of videos Su Tong had been watching recently. Could it be she’s been watching those "bad news from the cultivation circle" videos every day?

But clearly, Lilith did not get the joke, so she didn’t find it hard to hold back, just looked a bit confused.

"Why do these demon beasts all have to be some kind of dragons?"

Su Tong explained: "Well... it sounds mighty and majestic, doesn’t it?

"And also, I really like puns.

"For example, Foundation Establishment Pill, I think it can be called ’Boiled Egg.’

"These elixirs, according to the setting, should all be ’banned drugs.’

"So-called banned drugs are those not allowed on the surface but are not really checked or controlled.

"So, elixir sellers use this kind of jargon to communicate; when selling Foundation Establishment Pills, they say it’s a ’Boiled Egg,’ a purely natural product; when selling dragon elixirs, they say it’s a ’Dragon Egg,’ an egg laid by demon beasts.

"In reality, they use dragon egg shells to fill in the corresponding elixirs and sell them to players.

"Of course, there are some unscrupulous sellers who actually sell real boiled eggs and dragon eggs, and cultivators often have nowhere to seek justice and just have to swallow this silent loss."

Lilith nodded in realization: "Oh!"

At this point, she kind of understood.

The elixir sellers take the money for Foundation Establishment Pills but deliberately send boiled eggs to players, wouldn’t this create a ton of negative emotions?

Sounds plausible!

She looked at Gu Fan: "What do you think?"

Gu Fan nodded: "I think it’s great, and for players who love cultivation themes, it’s especially perplexing.

"’Nine Dragons Carry the Coffin, Dominating Eternity!’

"Use this as our main promotional slogan; it will surely have a great promotional effect.

"And it’s not false advertising.

"Just say whether there are Nine Dragons or not, just say whether they carry the coffin or not?"

Lilith happily stood up: "Great!

"Then the main framework of ’Reverse Heaven’ is finalized like this. You all need to note down everything discussed in today’s meeting, refine and implement it thoroughly. Whether Nitiandang can reach new heights depends on this one blow!"

Everyone nodded and indicated they had written everything down in their notes.

"Then, meeting adjourned!

"By the way, Gu Fan, come with me; I have some other matters to discuss with you."

Lilith, full of ambition, said this and walked out.

...

Back at the villa, Lilith was in a good mood.

"President Li, any other plans?" Gu Fan asked.

Lilith’s expression became serious: "Azazel has been holding back something big. And, according to the schedule, it might launch simultaneously with our ’Reverse Heaven!’

Gu Fan raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Hell Frontline is releasing a new game?

"Calculating the time...

"It truly is ’three years to sharpen a sword,’ a formidable contender."

Lilith nodded: "Indeed!

"Azazel even moved the company to another location. It’s been quiet for months to avoid my radar, probably intending to launch the game quietly to avoid my sabotage.

"Hmph, but how could he know that I have connections everywhere in Hell, he can hide for a time but not forever.

"I have confirmed information that his new game is called ’Infernal Spec Ops.’

Gu Fan furrowed his brow: "Imperial Special Ops? I’ve only heard of Imperial Guards. Could it be a game set in an alternate historical background with ancient feudal dynasty special ops or something like that..."

Lilith shook her head like a rattle drum: "No, no, no, Infernal Spec Ops, Infernal meaning Hell Frontline. Spec Ops meaning special operation slots.

"Translated, it means players act as some powerful superpower users entering the Hell Frontline to launch special operations.

"This is an MMORPG game, but its combat system incorporates firearms and many special combat abilities."

Gu Fan marveled: "Looks like a big production. Truly something else, the name indeed doesn’t seem like one humans could come up with."

Lilith remained serious: "Yes, this time Azazel seems determined to put everything into one strike.

"Not only did he pour all the money made from previous games into it, but he also got funding from some foreign organizations. Loads and loads of funding.

"Regarding the initial publicity of the game, it’s already arranged.

"It will definitely become infamous, die at light speed, with an overwhelming harvest of negative emotions!"

Gu Fan rubbed his chin: "Hmm... Indeed not to be underestimated.

"Seems similar to Shengjing Group’s ’Nine Swords,’ having a comparable level?"

Lilith slightly shook her head: "More terrifying than that!"

Gu Fan couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

Up until now, Hell Frontline as a game company could be considered a legend in the gaming industry. Games like ’Hell Inferior Demon,’ ’Henggang Middle School Simulation,’ ’Hell Racing,’ each a heavyweight on its own.

Originally, any one of these games on its own was undoubtedly destined to die.

But with Gu Fan’s efforts, all these games made money, and all the negative emotions gathered were taken away by Lilith.

Azazel was obviously infuriated with him.

As a smart man, no, a smart demon, Azazel obviously understood better than Lilith what it meant to make a strategic retreat, what it meant to avoid confrontation.

After ’Hell Racing’ was forcefully overturned by Nitiandang, Azazel went into hiding; Gu Fan didn’t know what he had been up to.

Now he knew, it turned out he’d been brewing something big.

Using the money earned from the previous games and funds gathered from outside, ’Infernal Spec Ops’ was ground out after ’three years to sharpen a sword.’

Of course, ’three years to sharpen a sword’ doesn’t mean Azazel made the game diligently; it’s simply because Hell Frontline is just a hastily assembled makeshift team, so they can’t develop as fast as Nitiandang.

The game indeed has a large scale, so Azazel could only develop it on a yearly basis.

This development time is also normal, but...

Gu Fan was a bit puzzled: "How did Azazel manage to find channels to get foreign organizations to fund him? And what kind of organizations would fund such a company, such a project?

"Azazel never intended to make a profit from the start; can’t these organizations see that?"

Lilith explained: "I think they did see it, but they don’t care. Because... they are from the legendary IED organization, with the Rainbow Flag terrifying all who hear of it!"

Gu Fan couldn’t help but stand in awe: "... Understood, then it all makes sense!

"Azazel is quite a talent, to think of such a method."

Lilith nodded: "Yes, so in this game, it’s filled with various LGBT+ elements, the women are all wrapped like dumplings, wearing as much as possible. As for the men, they are bare-chested, wearing as little as possible.

"Additionally, there are all sorts of colorful, it’s even more diverse than Hell, I couldn’t bear to look straight at it."

Gu Fan gave a thumbs up: "President Li, your Chinese skills are right on point! Progressing rapidly!"

Lilith felt a bit proud but still waved off, saying: "Don’t flatter, let’s talk business.

"In short, this card of his does indeed make me feel very tricky.

"The key is that so far, his project has entered the final stages, and there won’t be any significant changes.

"Even if I wanted to interfere, to change some game designs, it probably would be very difficult.

"To find its loopholes, it’s up to you to make the move."

Gu Fan nodded: "Yes, to make such an absolute crap project profitable... this task certainly presents a challenge for me.

"But rest assured, President Li, I will do my utmost."

...

That was basically how things were at the time.

In the blink of an eye, over half a year had passed. The bugs of ’Endless Fantasy Legend 2’ had exploded, the game became a hit, and the development of ’Reverse Heaven’ and ’Infernal Spec Ops’ had roughly completed.

Next, is the insane showdown between these two new games.

Anyway, neither should dislike the other; these two games are both dirty.

Every so often, Gu Fan would search online for news about ’Infernal Spec Ops.’

Although Azazel deliberately kept it secret and did not do much promotion, since this game was after all in collaboration with the IED organization from abroad, some clues could still be found from these organizations and related promotions.

I have to say, this game is indeed heavyweight.

Just the selectable genders for the characters inside, Gu Fan found himself unable to count.

Judging from past life experiences, this game is definitely the kind where ’even gods can’t save it.’

Money, will surely be lost completely.

Later, if Azazel collaborates with the IED organization again to massively throw money into global promotion, fooling one is one, the output of negative emotions is sure to be quite considerable.

Can it make money?

It’s truly difficult, but not entirely without hope.

Gu Fan had some ideas, but whether these ideas could be realized still depends on finding specific loopholes after the game’s launch.
