Chapter 124: Chapter 66: Offline Explosion! An Unethical Promotional Video!_2

Netcom sending him to support Polar Tour’s new release speaks volumes about their stance.

Lu Long’s appearance also made many employees from the number one gaming company a bit timid.

Initially, according to Mr. Ke’s request, some small decorations were quickly placed near the Polar Tour Exhibition Stand. At this moment, they couldn’t help but quietly move them back.

Fearing that soon Netcom would come looking for trouble.

If a conflict arose, their fans might just tear down the number one player’s exhibition stand...

"No need to move them." Just as the staff were about to act, Ke Jin reached out to stop a staff member’s wrist while reassuringly patting their shoulder, "It’s fine, I’m here."

Today it was clear they were there to ride on Netcom’s coattails. They weren’t afraid of Netcom cracking their facade; they were afraid they’d remain as steady as an old dog.

Perhaps it was their boss’s warm smile and confident demeanor that soothed the employees’ slightly cowardly hearts.

It must be said, Lu Long really was a celebrity.

No sooner had he appeared than the journalists who had entered early began to follow him with their cameras at the ready, practically shoving their microphones in his face.

Questions flew at him like rapid gunfire, the sound of camera shutters never ceasing.

Lu Long, smiling, casually answered a few questions before swiftly heading to the exhibition stand. The Polar Tour staff attended to him as if he were a revered ancestor, even bringing out an executive chair for him.

But before he sat down, he felt something was off.

He looked around.

Instantly, he realized what was wrong.

Crowded.

Whenever Netcom personally attended an exhibition, there wouldn’t be another company within ten meters, the space emphasizing dominance and superiority.

But today...

On the right side, indeed, there were no companies. The closest one was situated beyond ten meters.

But what about this one on the left?

This company’s various small decorations, figurines, and promotional banners were almost on Netcom’s doorstep. Although not overstepping the boundary, there was merely a slim gap of a few centimeters between them.

From a distance, one would think they belonged to the same manufacturer...

It was clear they were here to leech off Netcom’s popularity.

However, Lu Long, who was known for not showing emotions, merely cursed "clown" under his breath, but outwardly he pretended not to notice.

Despite the grandeur large companies display, they have many restrictions once outside.

Take this instance, so many journalists were watching. If he were to intercede personally, it would seem rather petty, lacking the grace expected of a major company.

Besides, who am I? Lu Long?

I’m known as the ’Netcom Cold Guy’.

My trademark is an emotionless face, never breaking character.

Do whatever you want. If I so much as acknowledge you, consider it a loss of my dignity.

Just as Lu Long had just sat down.

Suddenly, a staff member from the neighboring company made his way over.

"Hello, hello, Mr. Lu’s reputation precedes him! I’m Gou Chehua, the director of the neighboring company. I’m absolutely thrilled to know that Mr. Lu himself could be here today." he said.

Lu Long looked at the young man in front of him with surprise, lacking any decorum.

Even the journalists knew to hold back and stopped bothering him once he reached the stand. But here you are, charging right towards my exhibition space?

Soon, Gou Chehua pulled out a small card from his pocket.

Seeing his excited and flushed face, Lu Long had an epiphany.

Ah, he came for an autograph.

Fine, let me be the bigger person and not stoop to your level.

As Lu Long reached into his chest pocket for a pen, ready to sign the back of the card.

Gou Chehua pushed the card forward a bit more.

Seeing that Lu Long wasn’t taking it, he stuffed the card into Lu Long’s pocket, patted his shoulder, and quickly left.

This move left Lu Long completely dumbfounded.

Wait... who are you, patting me on the shoulder? Even our bosses don’t dare to pat me on the shoulder!

And looking at the small card pulled from his pocket.

Printed in gold lettering on the card were the words "Number One Player."

And the CEO’s name—Ke Jin.

Lu Long’s brows furrowed immediately.

I thought you were here for an autograph, but you’ve come to give me your boss’s business card?

Who asked for your card?

Yet with the constant flashes from the journalists’ cameras below, Lu Long had no choice but to reluctantly pocket the card again.

But his blood pressure was already beginning to surge.

Where did this trash come from, muscling in like that? Can’t your company make a good game?

"Mr. Lu, do you want me to negotiate with them to move further away?" At this moment, an assistant also noticed the slight tension in Lu Long’s brow and whispered softly.

"No need," Lu Long straightened his expression, pulled a dainty little bottle from his pocket, and popped a vitamin C.

The sweet and refreshing taste quickly spread through his head, calming his spirits a bit.

Number One Player?

Hmph.

Number One Loser!

I won’t give you the satisfaction!

Purposely moving your exhibition space so close to ours, thinking you could snag some attention, huh?

But what will you do when we release the War Annihilation trailer later on?

Once Netcom opens up the floodgates, sucking back all the pathetic traffic you’ve leeched, I wonder what expression Mr. Ke, your boss, will have then?

"Heh," to be honest, Lu Long was quite looking forward to it.

Eager to see the spectacle of this clown of a company losing its composure later on.

Meanwhile, Gou Chehua hastily returned to Ke Jin’s side.

"Mr. Ke, aren’t we being too ostentatious..." he said.

It’s debatable whether Mr. Lu has even heard of our Number One Player... Handing out business cards like this seems a bit odd.

But Mr. Ke nonchalantly said it was fine, leaving Gou Chehua with nothing more to say.
