Chapter 49: The Mysterious Player

Glacier Game Club was going to attack the Flame Three-Headed Wolf that evening, but when Chen Mo arrived at the entrance of Wild Wolf Valley, there were not many players around.

The attack on the BOSS was scheduled for 9 PM, and it was not even 5 AM yet. Since players could only be online for 12 hours a day, those who wanted to watch the show had already logged off to rest.

However, there were still some new players provoking the Flame Three-Headed Wolf. After tonight, they might never see this hidden BOSS again.

Finding an opportunity, Chen Mo slipped into Wild Wolf Valley smoothly.

This day was undoubtedly the liveliest since the Genesis Game started its testing half a month ago.

Genesis Game was becoming more and more popular every day, and today, Glacier Group pushed it to a peak.

As one of the top ten financial groups in the Huaxia Region, Glacier Group had countless companies under its umbrella. These companies followed the parent company’s instructions, and even with just a little effort from each, the advertising was already overwhelming.

Calculating one by one, Glacier Group’s investment this time far exceeded the tens of millions mentioned by the Worm Intermediary Company.

Even residents of the Huaxia Region who did not play games knew that tonight, the game club funded by Glacier Group would kill a super BOSS in the game, and it would be broadcast live on several TV stations.

Although The Tycoons Club had previously gained significant advertising effects by killing the Slime King, it was nothing compared to Glacier Group’s advertising campaign.

In just two days, the once-popular The Tycoons Club was overshadowed by Glacier Game Club, which had emerged less than three days ago.

The Tycoons Club spent hundreds of thousands, but Glacier Group spent tens of millions or more—there was simply no comparison.

“Glacier Group is really going all out this time,” said Brother Jiu, dressed in a white tuxedo, lying on a comfortable sofa in a virtual bar as he watched the live broadcast on the screen.

“It’s a pity we didn’t find a way to counter the Flame Three-Headed Wolf. If we had, we could have taken it down and firmly established the club,” lamented the red-dressed beauty sitting in the corner of the bar, whose ID was Holding Your Hand.

On the forum, after the wealthy Glacier Group entered the scene, many people thought The Tycoons Club was nothing special. However, the reality was quite different from what they imagined—The Tycoons Club did not care about the money Glacier Group spent.

“Xiao Yu, you’re one of the elite younger generation of Glacier Group. Why didn’t you even get any information this time?” Brother Jiu looked toward a blue-dressed beauty in another corner, whose ID was Blue Fantasy and who had a cold aura.

Although they all appeared here under their game IDs, they clearly knew each other in real life.

“The Genesis Game project isn’t under my responsibility. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have joined you,” Blue Fantasy said calmly.

“But I just found out some information. Our Glacier Group didn’t invest much in games initially and was still observing. However, a few days ago, a large amount of external investment was poured into the Genesis Game project, which led to this big operation.”

“What’s going on? Do you know the source of the investment?” Brother Jiu and the others were surprised and exchanged glances.

“I don’t know. The game project department is very tight-lipped. I heard they signed confidentiality agreements, and only some top executives know. My access isn’t high enough,” Blue Fantasy shook her head.

Everyone in the bar lowered their heads in thought.

They came from various families and financial groups, with extraordinary statuses and knowledge of information unknown to ordinary people. Behind the sudden emergence of the Holographic Virtual Network lay deep interests and connections. If they could gain even a little benefit from entering the game, their positions within their respective groups would become more stable.

It was normal for Glacier Group to invest in establishing a game club, but the source of this investment was puzzling. With Glacier Group’s financial power, external investment was unnecessary—tens of millions were just a small amount for them, far less than any typical project. The investor was also strange: why didn’t they form their own game team with their financial resources instead of investing in Glacier Group? Moreover, it was a secret investment. What benefit did they gain from doing this?

“Huh?”

They couldn’t figure out the reason right away. At that moment, Holding Your Hand, who was watching the screen, suddenly let out a soft exclamation as a figure appeared on it.

It was already 8:30 PM, and there was less than an hour left before Glacier Game Club would start attacking the Flame Three-Headed Wolf.

Wild Wolf Valley was packed with people. Over three hundred elite players, hired at a high price by Glacier Game Club, had gathered in front of the valley.

Don’t underestimate these three hundred people—almost all of them were equipped with Green Equipment, and each one was formidable! Of course, most of the equipment was provided by Glacier Group, which had truly spent a fortune this time!

“Everyone, please stay calm. There’s still some time left. I will now confirm the battle plan with you all. Please cooperate, experts. After we succeed, Glacier Game Club will definitely not treat you poorly!”

The noise in front of Wild Wolf Valley was deafening. Wanzhang Binghe, the person in charge of Glacier Game Club, stood in front of the three hundred elites and spoke loudly.

Those who accepted the commission were almost all professionals. Under Wanzhang Binghe’s command, they quickly quieted down.

“Huh, who is that?”

But before Wanzhang Binghe could say more, many people in the team looked toward Wild Wolf Valley in surprise.

Wanzhang Binghe turned around in confusion and was astonished to see a Masked Player who had somehow entered Wild Wolf Valley and was walking out from inside, approaching the Flame Three-Headed Wolf.

Although it was noisy outside Wild Wolf Valley, the Flame Three-Headed Wolf remained unmoved, lazily lying on the ground inside the valley. However, after this person appeared, the Flame Three-Headed Wolf suddenly stood up. Its three heads and six eyes, each of a different color, glared furiously at the enemy.

“These days, people will do anything to get on camera,” someone among the elites sighed with a laugh when they saw the figure.

The live broadcast had started at 8 PM. In their view, this person was deliberately going to their death just to get on TV.

“Not necessarily. Don’t you see he’s wearing a mask?” someone shook their head.

“This person… why does he seem familiar?” Wang Xu in the team looked at the Masked Player, feeling a bit puzzled.

Everyone had different thoughts as they watched this figure. However, after seeing the Flame Three-Headed Wolf roar and pounce on the person, many didn’t bother to watch anymore.

There was no need to look further—this guy was doomed.

Although no one knew what the masked person intended to do by approaching the Flame Three-Headed Wolf, no one could withstand a single attack from it before Glacier Game Club used their secret item.

“Huh, how is that possible!”

But the next moment, many people let out exclamations of surprise.

Not only the experts in front of Wild Wolf Valley but also those watching the live broadcast had the same reaction.

The Masked Player took out something, and the Flame Three-Headed Wolf, which had been charging fiercely, abruptly stopped mid-way, staring at the Masked Player in a standoff.

“Who is this person?”

At that moment, everyone knew that this Masked Player was definitely not an ordinary person!

“This is bad, stop him quickly!” A bad feeling surged in Wanzhang Binghe’s heart.

This person had an item that even they didn’t possess. It couldn’t have been obtained just now. The Masked Player’s appearance at this time was definitely not to help Glacier Game Club!

“How can we stop him? This is the Starter Village!” Wanzhang Binghe’s subordinate said anxiously.

“Idiot! Send some people to provoke the Flame Three-Headed Wolf and die. Don’t give it time to interact with that person. Buy some time—I’ll start the attack early!” Wanzhang Binghe shouted, decisive in the face of an unusual situation.

“Yes!”

The subordinate hurriedly made arrangements. Two teams, totaling over ten people, quickly charged toward the Flame Three-Headed Wolf.

Inside Wild Wolf Valley, the Flame Three-Headed Wolf merely turned one of its heads, breathed a blue flame, instantly wiping out the two teams, and then looked back at the weak Human Adventurer in front of it. In his hand was a deep blue orb, from which wisps of cold air rose.
