Dragon Raja's Number One Player

..........................................

"It's over, it's completely over."

Wang Li felt as if his spine had been emptied, and he slumped off the chair.

Not only did he press the button to pause the game, but he also failed to save "Odin".

He could almost see the onslaught of public opinion, his being pushed out as a scapegoat, and his eventual dismissal.

Just as he lay on the floor, lost and disoriented, a voice came through the microphone.

"Please have the scriptwriting team and all department heads come to the conference room for an emergency meeting."

..............................

In the game, Lin Zhiying felt as if time around her had suddenly stopped.

However, the players were still conscious; they moved their eyes and could even make sounds.

"Don't panic, everyone. I know this. It's probably Lu Mingze who's exerting his strength. It's normal."

As soon as the player finished speaking, everything went black again, and everyone was kicked out of the game.

"Due to technical adjustments, the game is temporarily closed. We will announce the reopening time later. Thank you for your support and understanding!"

Lin Zhiying stepped out of the game pod with a satisfied smile on his face, because at the last moment, he saw the experience points on the panel.

My own noodles kept increasing in value, and my level climbed up one, two, and three levels!

The vast amount of experience points poured into him endlessly until he reached level 25.

In an instant, Lin Zhiying reached the level cap of version 1.0!

What he didn't know was that a huge storm he had brought about was brewing in reality.

....................................

In the conference room of Xuanyu Company.

All of the company's top executives are sitting here; everyone at the round table is an elite in the industry.

Even those who couldn't attend due to being on vacation or for various other reasons appeared here using projection technology.

"Do you all know what happened today?"

Wang Li, as the manager, spoke first.

"With things getting this big, it's hard not to notice," Liu Peng thought to himself. He was one of the team members responsible for advancing the plot.

He never expected that "Odin" would actually die, especially during a live stream, right in front of countless players.

What are your thoughts on this matter?

Wang Li asked, having regained his composure after the initial panic. It would be impossible for him to have reached this point without some ability.

"If you ask me, it's just one player; we can just revert the data."

The head of the music department spoke first.

"I object. There are so many players present, and they are all top-tier players. Doing this will undoubtedly cause huge problems for the company's reputation."

The head of the publicity department immediately raised his hand in opposition.

The others nodded in agreement.

"Then what do you suggest we do?"

The music department director continued, saying that in his opinion, the publicity department was simply saying that because they had benefited from Lin Zhiying.

"An important character is now dead. How should we proceed from here?"

The music department head looked around; everyone was silent, and no one had a good solution.

Resolving the Lin Chih-ying issue might be the least costly thing to do right now. As for the public opinion storm, it can be completely handed over to a public relations company to handle.

"Since no one else can do anything about it, I'll be the bad guy. Player Lin Zhiying maliciously exploited a game vulnerability, killed the boss, got his account banned, and caused the game to be rolled back."

The music department head spoke up, saying what he had already thought of.

In this way, the problem is solved without the company suffering any losses, and he will be remembered by the company's senior management for his performance in this meeting.

The music department head thought to himself, "Maybe Wang Li's position will be his in the future." He glanced at the position.

Other department heads were discussing it amongst themselves. From a profit perspective, this method was indeed the most cost-effective, but... it seemed a bit too shameless.

"Since he's going to die, let him die."

Liu Peng, who had been silent all along, finally couldn't help but speak up.

"Who do you think you are? You have no right to speak here."

The head of the music department was very dissatisfied with Liu Peng, who dared to contradict him.

"Quiet, he's the team member in charge of advancing the plot. I'm the one who called him in."

A voice came from inside, and a young man slowly walked in.

From the moment he entered, everyone's eyes were on him.

Han Xiao.

He is the soul of the entire company. Not only was the virtual engine developed by him and his team, but most of the original storylines, such as the Otherworld, were also created by him.

Wang Li immediately stood up and gave up her seat, but Han Xiao did not sit down there. Instead, he sat down to the side.

"Let's continue."

Han Xiao gestured for Liu Peng to continue.

Having received permission, Liu Peng grew bolder, glared back at the music department head, and continued:

"After all, in the world of dragons, death does not mean the end."

"Yes, we can make Odin cocoon himself! That way, the story can progress further."

A supervisor chimed in in agreement.

Liu Peng's words successfully sparked their thinking.

Those who are sitting here are all familiar with the original work; otherwise, it would be difficult to proceed with the work normally.

"I think we should create a new 'Odin,' and say that the one who died now is a 'fake Odin,' while the one who actually died was Odin's twin!"

The head of the art department spoke first.

The other managers' eyes lit up; this was indeed a good idea.

Odin faked his death, a battle of wits that further highlights his superiority!

"Speaking of which, I have a bold idea: we could make Odin triplets, an extra one, just in case he dies. After all, who says there can only be two twins?"

The art director added.

Liu Peng had to admit that the artists had incredibly creative minds, but after all that they had said, it was still up to Han Xiao to make the final decision and see which one he would use.

"We'll leave the identity of 'Odin' aside for now, since letting players speculate is part of the fun. Does anyone have any objections regarding 'Odin's' death?"

After listening to everyone's words, Han Xiao smiled and slowly said, "Actually, this shows that Xuanyu Company is a dynamic company with diverse voices."

"However, I hope that in the future, when such problems arise, we won't always try to use players as a shield."

Han Xiao's words were clearly pointed, and the art director blushed and lowered his head.

"I'm sorry, this is my problem, and I'm resigning voluntarily."

The art director spoke up, explaining that he was also considering things from the company's perspective.

"Never mind, you're an old man now, go to the cleaning team first."

Han Xiao spoke up, saying that he couldn't tell whether such a feeling was an insult or pity.

"Also, let's release the new version ahead of schedule after this one."

Han Xiao said in a calm tone.

I wanted to write about my shock from other perspectives; I wanted to try more things.

I really want to improve quickly, I really want to become a senior member!
