Super Spender

Chapter 264: 258 Toras

“That’s why I said to temporarily halt all negotiations. If you want to talk, sure, but we need to reconsider the price. I don’t know what price you’re thinking of, but it’s definitely not suitable.” Finn Lewis stated decisively. Because of the server issue, it was assumed that Lewis had to directly exchange the points. 9000 points implied 90 million federal coins per server, well, of course, that’s the direct conversion.

Although earning money guarantees points without deducting any money, the actual price is not that expensive. However, for Lewis, points are way more valuable than money.

“I see, luckily I haven’t signed the contract yet.” Although Lewis owns 57% of WY’s shares, Johnson is still the CEO of WY, any contract he signs still takes effect.

“Um, like this, I’ll go to the company tomorrow and let you know about the future of the game.” Lewis nodded at Johnson and then hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone with Johnson, Lewis called Hannah Lincoln, “Young Master.” Lincoln now also started to address him the same way as Fishy Wells did.

“Is everything alright at the shop lately?” Lewis asked.

“It’s alright, but there are lots of onlookers every day.” Lincoln let out a wry smile.

“Well, prepare to close the store beginning tomorrow, and find a home renovation company for redecoration. It has to be done in a classic style,” Lewis instructed.

“Yes, Young Master,” Lincoln responded.

When Lewis returned home, he enjoyed a rare good sleep. He was not used to the bed in the other dimension. The next morning, he headed to the IVY headquarters. When Lewis arrived at WY, Johnson was already waiting inside. Seeing Lewis coming, Johnson spoke a little helplessly, “Director Lewis, you should have told me in advance. What if I had signed the contract? Wouldn’t I be at a loss?!”

“Alright, alright, that’s my fault.” Lewis shrugged helplessly.

“The representatives from several game companies are here. Do you want to speak with them first?” Johnson asked Lewis.

“I think it’s better to talk to you first.” Lewis thought. The current version of the game could only be considered a third of the full version. The remaining two-thirds hadn’t even been released yet. So, it’s better to first discuss things with Johnson.

“Alright, I’ll have them wait a bit.” Johnson nodded, gave some instructions to his secretary, and then followed Lewis into the small meeting room.

After entering the meeting room, Johnson immediately asked, “Director Lewis, what did you mean by saying that the current version of the game isn’t the complete one?”

“Well, actually…” Lewis thought for a moment, turned on the computer in the conference room, connected his phone to the projector inside the computer, and Olivia Thatcher instantly broadcasted what Lewis wanted to present.

“What’s this?” Naturally, Johnson instantly recognized the content. The style clearly matched the game, but the equipment was definitely not from any of the eight sects in the game.

“This is also part of Monster World, or to be more specific, a portion of it.” Lewis pressed the remote, then continued, “The difference is that we operate the Flame Nation part in our homeland, and this is the overseas part.”

“Overseas part?” Johnson was taken aback.

“Yes, overseas part. Because I didn’t tell you, in the late stages, a Territory Wars feature will be introduced, similar to the faction wars in games now. The only difference is that at that time, the faction wars will be between Western players and Flame Nation players,” Lewis nonchalantly explained.

“Really?!” Johnson was shocked. Ignoring whether the technology could do it, if Lewis could indeed create such a game, it meant that this game would definitely be more playable than Monster World! Territory Wars, especially those clearly dividing Federation and Asna Continent, would definitely draw all players into it!

“Hehe, you should remember the map of Monster World, right? There are many unopened parts on the west side of the map. Actually, that’s the Territory Wars map. There are mountains on the far west of the currently opened map. A portal will be opened later, and there will be a map after the portal. It’s the junction of two continents, and on the other side, it’s the map I’m preparing to operate in the Federation.”

“The map size on both sides is roughly the same, but the West also has eight professions. The difference is that the eight professions are completely different from those in our homeland and belong to special Western professions, for example, wizard, paladin, thief, ranger, etc. The system on both sides will also be different. Naturally, the maps, tasks, and copies will also be completely different. They can entirely stand as another game.”

“This… this is indeed rather shocking. But how will you open Territory Wars in the future?” Johnson asked curiously.

“Currently, I’m thinking of this: when operating in the Northern Europe Federation, the server count, player count, and server names will be exactly the same. But the clients on both sides will temporarily be different, meaning Territory Wars won’t be opened for now,” Lewis thought for a while before answering, “because our technology can’t do it yet.”

“So that means this issue can be resolved later?” Johnson hurriedly inquired.

“Of course! And we even have a prospect now. Solving this technology problem isn’t too difficult. After solving it, servers with the same names domestically and overseas can be connected directly. There will be three linked servers acting as a server group. All data will be transferred through the three servers to reduce delay caused by undersea cables to the greatest extent. According to our current tests, this delay can be reduced to within 100 milliseconds,” Finn Lewis immediately replied.

“Within 100 milliseconds is enough! Many domestic game players play with a delay much higher than this number,” Johnson answered, somewhat surprised.

“If we can really achieve this, our game might dominate the gaming world in the future! Haha, maybe WY could monopolize the gaming industry.”

The speaker might be speaking without any particular intention, but the listener took it to heart. Johnson was just speaking casually, but Lewis felt a small stir within him. Lewis hadn’t forgotten that he still had a mission called the birth of Toras. Is the gaming industry a monopoly? Any industry could become a monopoly, and gaming was no exception.

Lewis suddenly realized that it would be very difficult for him to complete that mission in other industries, but the gaming industry could be the fastest way for him to accomplish this mission without spending a lot of money. Although Zero provided the mission capital, if Zero gave Lewis one trillion federation coins, would Lewis dare to spend it?

No, he wouldn’t! He could explain away a few billion, or even tens of billions of federal coins, as long as the technology in his hands was strong enough. But if you gave him a trillion, where would this money come from? You should know that the flow of one trillion federal coins could even influence the international exchange rate instantly..
