Chapter 6 – Brother Xiao Yao Takes on the World!

The next day, at 11am, there was still an entire hour before 'Destiny' officially opened. I ate a boxed lunch early and sat there in the bedroom with glasses boy just waiting for time to pass. What's more, I managed to squeeze out all the details from glasses boy. Apparently this guy is an online site operator who opened several black market stores and earned upwards of 10000RMB a month. He paid 3000000RMB to study here in Liu Hua University, reason being he wanted to become educated and talented. No matter how I look at it though, this guys seems to want to just play here for four years and rot to death after graduating like me.

On the desk, there was a Destiny magazine that was distributed, which included a lot of information about the game. I took a quick look, but nothing really stood out. However, the game had one master designer, four executive designers and an additional 150 other designers. One of the executive designers looked extremely familiar – it was Lin Cheng!

Body trembling a little, I sat there dazed. Don't tell me it's that old geezer?

I quickly pulled a chair out and opened Tang Gu's computer. "Hey glasses boy, let me use your computer for a while." I said.

"Ah, what's wrong?" Glasses boy got shocked and said: "I'll let you, don't be so sudden next time though. What's wrong with you, Li Xiao Yao?"

I opened a browser and quickly searched the web using the keywords 'Destiny' and 'Lin Cheng'. As expected, the information appeared. Lin Cheng was the main designer of Destiny. There was also a picture of him with that always-smiling face. I laughed in disbelief – it really was that stupid old geezer!

Glasses boy looked at me, surprised. He said: "Oh, what's up? This Lin Cheng, you know him?"

I nodded my head but didn't say anything. How could I not know this guy? From 14 to 19 years old, I was always by his side, constantly practicing and training my body. Who knew this geezer would run off to game design and design this super popular game?

Knitting my eyebrows, I said: "Glasses, this Destiny is obviously a game right? Why did they choose this old man to be part of the main design team? I really don't understand..."

Glasses boy smiled: "Obviously you won't understand, Destiny was announced really early on, and it's major selling point is that it invited all the big names in each profession to join the design team. For example, the world's best blacksmith, the world's best archer, even a herbalist and a martial artist were invited. This game could be considered the closest to reality ever. The mental aspect like attitude and spirit all took a major step forward, and additionally, you can create your own skills and styles. Whatever it is, this game is heaven for game addicts.

"Create your own skills and styles..." I muttered. "So it's like this, huh?"

"Why, have you seen a ghost?" Glasses boy hit me.

I shook my head while smiling, saying: "I'm fine, let's prepare to enter Destiny."

"Mm, wait till I get higher leveled, I'll carry you!"

"Carry your dad, just focus on not getting clobbered by monsters. The information says the monsters are extremely ferocious, if you die once you'll lose a level. Be careful!"

"I know already, I was ranked 7000+ in Conquer, and I'm considered a pro. How could I mess up Destiny?"

"Stop gloating already."

My lips curled into a smile as I thought of what Dong Cheng Yue said. She was ranked 79th in Conquer. She definitely is a top tier player. What's more, apparently Lin Wan Er was ranked even higher than that. These people really invested a lot of money into game. One by one they all become so ferocious.
