82: Chapter 82 Blood Blade
Bang! A boy about the same age as Jiang He pushed the door open and ran in.
He was wearing casual clothes and looked very sunny and handsome.
He walked quickly towards Jiang He with a face full of excitement.
"Game ID? Are you Game ID?" the boy asked.
Jiang He was stunned. This person looked a bit familiar?
But he didn't seem to have any friends here in Kyoto?
"Who are you?"
Suddenly, the boy excitedly hugged him: "Haha, I'm Blood Blade! We've finally met!"
"Blood Blade?" Bai Luoyao, who was standing to the side, exclaimed in surprise.
Blood Blade, noticing Bai Luoyao, turned his head and let out a "Wow": "Xiao Yao, you look so beautiful! No wonder that guy Gu Qingming has his eyes on you."
Sure enough, hearing the tone of his voice, it was definitely Blood Blade himself.
"Nonsense! Who told you to come here!" Elder Lin suddenly put on a stern face and angrily slapped the armrest of his chair.
Only then did the few of them realize where they were.
And Jiang He's mind went blank.
What kind of background did this Blood Blade have?
They had to pass through many checkpoints when they came in.
Did this kid actually barge in single-handedly?
"Oh Grandpa, why are you losing your temper?" Blood Blade walked up to Elder Lin and said with a cheeky grin, "I'm working for the country after all. I heard my brother was here, so I was happy and just wanted to come and see him, right?"
At this time, Elder Long waved his hand: "Alright, Old Lin. The young people have a deep friendship, unlike us old bones who smile superficially when we meet, with hidden meanings in every word."
Elder Lin sighed helplessly and looked at Jiang He: "Little Jiang, don't mind him. This is my grandson, Lin Shijie. You should know each other from the game."
"Know him? Of course I do! This is my big brother, we're super close! Not long ago, he even lent me..." Blood Blade interrupted.
Hearing Blood Blade's words, Jiang He immediately rushed over and covered his mouth: "Yes, yes, yes, we know each other, we're very close." He hurriedly interjected.
Bai Luoyao frowned and asked: "Lent you? What?"
At this moment, Blood Blade also realized: "Ah? Lent... lent..."
"Lent him two pieces of equipment. You kid, remember to return them to me when you're done." Jiang He immediately explained.
"Yes, yes, yes, it's equipment." Blood Blade quickly agreed.
Bai Luoyao naturally didn't quite believe it, but it wasn't convenient to ask more at the moment.
Next, the few of them sat down and listened to the arrangements of Elder Long and Elder Lin.
It turned out that Blood Blade had also been assigned to play this game.
His grandfather was an important national figure, but his father was a businessman.
With his father's support, Blood Blade had obtained a large amount of capital to build his own team in the game.
At the time, his father had told Elder Lin: If the crisis predicted by the country really happened, he would naturally be willing to contribute everything to help the country; but if it didn't happen, he would want to profit from this game from a businessman's perspective.
The country naturally couldn't refuse this request.
After all, it wasn't easy for his son to make money, and they couldn't let him spend his own money to work for the country for nothing.
And the country's plan was clearly explained by Elder Long: The country hoped that Bai Luoyao would form a team and manage the guild as soon as possible.
After the game opens the channels between countries, the country itself will not interfere with your in-game competition, but will instead support you.
The ultimate goal is to select the best team from among them to represent the country in the unpredictable war in the game.
But no matter how much conflict or hatred arises in the game, it must not be brought into reality.
Because everyone's goal is actually the same.
Bai Luoyao naturally agreed to this without hesitation.
Jiang He, however, seemed a bit hesitant.
This matter was too far beyond his imagination.
A game could actually rise to the level of a national or even global crisis?
To be honest, he felt he was just an ordinary person.
Even though he had money now, he still liked eating spicy hot pot, watching Korean dramas, and watching the male and female leads kiss.
Could a person with his mindset really shoulder such a heavy burden?
Elder Long saw his concern and explained: "Little Jiang, you don't need to be under too much pressure. Currently, you, including the people from the other three main cities, are all in the pre-selection stage. Who will eventually lead our Xia Country's forces is still unknown."
At this time, Blood Blade grinned and put his arm around his shoulder: "Yeah, what are you worried about? Let me tell you, not only have we ordinary players formed teams, the country has also arranged people. With the regular army in front, we are, at best, sparring partners. Relax!"
Hearing this, Jiang He really breathed a sigh of relief.
So the country had already arranged for its own people to build forces in the game.
If that was the case, things were simpler.
Whether it was himself, Bai Luoyao, or the people from the other main cities, as Blood Blade said, they might mainly be sparring partners.
Through their confrontations in the game, they would help improve the combat capabilities of the regular army.
"Okay," Jiang He nodded, "No matter what the final result is, I will definitely do my best."
"Good!" Elder Lin and Elder Long smiled with satisfaction.
"Alright, Little Jiang, Xiao Yao, it's been a hard journey. I'll arrange your accommodation and meals in a moment," Elder Long said.
"Hey, hey, hey, Grandpa Long, this is my big brother and my friend, leave the arrangements to me!" Blood Blade immediately stood up, "You are at this age, just rest and take care of your health. Leave the business of entertaining friends, drinking, chatting, and bragging to us young people."
Elder Long smiled and nodded: "Good, then I'll leave it to you, kid."
Elder Lin, who was sitting on the side, said nothing, his face dark.
But he was already planning how to deal with this brat when they got home.
After saying goodbye, Jiang He and Bai Luoyao were led out of the military region by Blood Blade.
Just outside, Jiang He was stunned by the sight before him.
He saw dozens of Rolls-Royces lined up at the gate, and the one at the front was a glittering, all-gold custom model!
"Holy crap! Old Lin, do you need such a big display?" Jiang He's jaw almost dropped. He had known that Blood Blade was rich, but he hadn't expected it to be this exaggerated! Just the cars at the door felt like they were worth almost all of his assets.
"Hey, it's nothing, it's nothing. How much is this worth? Come on, let me take you to see my secret base!" Blood Blade waved his hand dismissively.
"Secret base?" Bai Luoyao asked suspiciously.
"Alright, get in the car first and we'll talk." Blood Blade smiled and pushed them into the car.
Along the way, Blood Blade's mouth didn't stop, chattering endlessly.
An hour later, the convoy stopped in front of a magnificent building.
Above the building, there were several very eye-catching characters: Blood Fiend Guild Combat Base.
"Holy crap, Old Lin, this is too exaggerated, right?" Jiang He was completely shocked by the sight.
He knew that some people built studios when playing games, but to directly use an entire building as a base? It was simply unheard of!
Even Bai Luoyao was shocked by this grand gesture.
She had previously considered setting up a small studio in her villa, but compared to the spectacle before her, hers couldn't even be considered a small workshop.
"Hey, this building is my dad's property, it doesn't cost anything. Let's go in and take a look."
Jiang He sighed deeply. Listen to what he said.
This building is my dad's property, it doesn't cost anything.
How low-key, how deadly, those words were.
Walking into the building.
First, there was a very impressive reception area. In the spacious hall, a dozen female receptionists in black suits and upright postures sat behind the front desk.
Seeing Jiang He and the others come in, they all stood up and greeted them politely.
Coming to the second floor, the entire open hall was filled with dining tables.
Behind rows of windows, all kinds of delicacies from all over the country were on display.
"Good heavens! Old Lin, you made such a big cafeteria? Are there that many employees to feed?" Jiang He looked at the scale that could accommodate thousands of people and was even more surprised.
Blood Blade chuckled: "Whether there are people or not, won't we know if we keep going up?"
