I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 595 - 593: It’s Impossible to Work

"Damn Ma Hua, damn Ding Sanshi, I'm going to kill you!"

Upon finding out that Huaxia had not only made him a special NPC in the game but even turned his own mother into an exchangeable item, Michel felt like spiraling into the heavens.

"Sue them for me, I want to sue them until they're broke, get me the best lawyer!" Michel screamed hysterically.

"I'm sorry, boss," Michel's assistant said, "we just sent a legal notice to Huaxia, but they told me that all this is just part of the virtual world and nothing exists for real, please don't take it personally!"

"Crack!" In his extreme anger, Michel crushed the glass cup in his hand, shards embedding deep into the flesh of his palm, and the other hand nearly got ruined too.

But at this moment, the rage inside him was clearly more heart-wrenching than the pain in his hands.

This was exactly the same tactic they used on Huaxia players before! Well, now the tables have turned.

"Boss, if we try to sue them in this way, I'm afraid there's not much chance of winning," the assistant said helplessly.

"Get me a doctor!" Michel's chest rose and fell violently, he struggled to calm himself down, "How's the game doing?"

"A week after launch, the download count has already surpassed 13 million!" the assistant reported a despairing number to Michel.

What does a download count of 13 million imply? The mobile game PUBG, with multi-aspect heating and crazy advertising, reached 13 million downloads in a month after its launch—definitely a miracle in game history!

But keep in mind, this is a mobile game, and in the current market, due to its portability and smaller size, its download count far exceeds that of PC games.

A PC game reaching 13 million downloads in a week isn't just a miracle; it's a godsend!

"Moreover, today Tengxun and Wangyi jointly announced that the mobile version would launch in half a month, and the mobile game data would be interoperable with the PC version with little to no differences. Once the mobile version launches, its download count is even expected to far exceed this figure!"

"How did this happen?" Michel looked somewhat dazed.

The gaming setup costing only 200 per set—they're making a revenue of 1.3 billion without the players spending a single penny ingame! Even after deducting the costs, making several billion is more than possible.

With Ma Hua and Ding Sanshi's operational skills, scamming some money from these players would be too easy, it's a huge market!

"Wait," Michel reassured himself, "they must just be capitalizing on the hype for the game, 50 million villas, millions in sports cars, I just don't believe they can really deliver these things. Once their lie gets exposed, all the players will withdraw immediately, I just can't believe they can produce any good game!"

"Boss, there's some very bad news," the assistant said, "according to our information, this game isn't developed by some copycat company, Zhang Menglong is the producer of this game, and he's financing those rewards, you know, to him, this amount of money is nothing."

"It was him!" Michel felt an itch in his teeth just hearing that name.

"And that item… its naming, too, was chosen by Zhang Menglong…"

"Ah! This damn Huaxia person!" Michel kicked over the table in front of him; this was indeed something Zhang Menglong would do. He should have known.

"Most importantly, this game is doing extremely well in the market," Michel's assistant continued, "now the game's rating on their platform is up to 9.8, the highest so far, and the Huaxia players have already started to promote the game on their own."

"How about our Overwatch Battlefield on the Huaxia server?" Michel asked nervously.

"The number of active users is dropping every day," the assistant spoke gravely, "today is the 17th day since their game officially began operations, and Overwatch Battlefield's activity has dropped 83% compared to the first day."

"In other words, our game is being replaced!"

"And PUBG?"

"The activity has dropped 67%, and the number keeps increasing day by day..."

"What magic does this game have?" Michel wondered aloud.

"Two reasons, one is that this game is really sophisticated, I don't know how they did it, a 200-unit device achieving the effect of a ten-thousand-unit device, plus their data handling is incredibly strong, managing millions of players online with virtually no server fluctuation."

"And the second reason?"

"The second reason is, as long as they collect enough of your mother..."

"Get out! Get out now!" Michel roared.

"Boss, let me finish!" Michel's assistant had also misspoken just now.

"Speak!"

"Now all the people from our Huaxia branch company have relayed back that the employees from Huaxia have started playing this game too. It's a very bad sign, the whole company is in panic, and some are even starting to say that our company is going to collapse."

"Issue a notice to them, tell them, whoever dares to play this game, fire them immediately!"

"Yes, boss!"

...

"Quickly! Attack! Another Michel has appeared!"

"Hahaha, it exploded, I just exploded another 'Michel's Mommy', I now have 998!"

"Damn, what kind of luck do you have?"

"I've been playing so long and I only have just over 800, what kind of shit luck is this? Are you a shill?"

"Hahaha!"

During the lunch break at the Huaxia branch of Thunder Network, a group of Huaxia employees were engaged in a match while wearing VR glasses.

"What are you all doing!" Someone suddenly slammed their hands on the table.

"Claro, you may be our leader, but it is lunch break now, you have no right to interfere with what we do!" The Huaxia employee took off his glasses.

"Just now headquarters sent a message, any of you who continue playing 'Operation Thunder Strike' will be fired for violating company rules and regulations!"

"Damn!"

"Screw you, using headquarters to pressure us!"

"Forget it, we'll play again in the evening!"

A few colleagues put down their devices, what's the use in resisting, can't mess with work, right?

"What's with you? Didn't you hear what I said?" The leader from the headquarters called Claro pointed at the only Huaxia employee who hadn't taken off his glasses yet.

"Scram! Don't hover around me, it's lunchtime, you can't manage this!"

"You, HR will come see you this afternoon, you're fired!"

"Okay, I've worked here for three years, compensate me three months of salary first!" The Huaxia employee said with a smirk as he took off his glasses, "If it wasn't for the house mortgage, I would have left you long ago, all you know is how to exploit us Huaxia employees, you idiot!"

"Good, very good! I'll make sure HR notes down that your conduct in the company was deplorable, I wonder which company would dare to hire you!"

"Hahaha, sorry, but working for someone else is out of the question, I'm never working for anyone else again, write whatever you want, I don't care!" the Huaxia employee said, "I've already collected 999 'Michel's Mommies' and redeemed the 50 million mansion, I don't need to work another day!"

"You believe in that kind of speculation?" Claro had always thought it was just a stunt, even if someone had that much money, who would be so bored as to give away that kind of money as a prize?

"Dude, you're reckless, what if it doesn't pan out, wouldn't you be screwed?" a colleague, who usually got along well with him, whispered.

"No worries, I've been wanting to quit for a while, even if it doesn't pan out, I've made up my mind to leave today!"

"Ha! You can pack your things and get ready to clear out!"

Half an hour later, the HR from the Thunder Network branch arrogantly placed a termination letter on his desk.

"Zhou Zishu, you can leave after handing over your duties this month!"

"May I ask who Mr. Zhou Zishu is?" Just then, a young man clad in a yellow robe and wearing a helmet walked in, "Here's a local express delivery for you!"
