The Deadly Martial Arts of Online Games

Chapter 341: Sanjiang Studio’s First Core Team

  • Next Chapter

Although Li Na held Su Wangchuan’s full file in her hands and had a complete understanding of his age, his game identity, and his status, when Su Wangchuan actually appeared before her dressed like a clean-cut college boy with a backpack on his shoulders, she still could not help arching her brows in surprise.

A third-rank martial artist.

A hall master of the Caobang.

Decisive and ruthless in killing…

The contrast between all that and the youthful young man before her was striking indeed.

Even so, Li Na was, after all, a professionally trained member of staff. She concealed her surprise very well.

“Boss, as per your request, Wang Yuehui, Wang Zixuan, and Hong Kaibao have all completed their transfer negotiations and have become the first officially hired employees of Sanjiang Studio.”

“And in addition—”

“Following your instructions, I also spoke with Lin Jiahe, Chen Gang, Chen Dan, and Li Xiangyang in advance, and invited them to join Sanjiang Studio as well. They would like to discuss it with you in person and give you their answer directly. Shall we go upstairs to the office and talk there first?” Standing amid the crowd, Li Na handled the atmosphere with practiced ease and natural authority.

Everyone, without exception, turned to look at Su Wangchuan.

“All right.”

“Let’s go upstairs and talk.”

“This way, please.”

The instant Li Na turned around, she had already slipped into the stern, unsmiling image of a mature HR director, leading the way with cool efficiency.

Along the route, the young men and women who had come for recruitment all stepped aside.

Quite a few of them whispered among themselves about the identities of the group following Chief Administrator Li Na.

And when they noticed that Su Wangchuan, who stood out from the crowd like a crane among chickens, was being subtly placed in the central position like the moon surrounded by stars, their curiosity only deepened.

“Who is that guy…?”

“The chief administrator is personally clearing the way for him.”

“Some high-level company figure, maybe?”

“Or someone using connections to cut in line?”

“Who knows.”

“…”

Now that Su Wangchuan’s five senses had been greatly sharpened, he heard every word of those lowered whispers from the young men and women on the first floor with perfect clarity, and inwardly he felt both embarrassed and oddly amused.

He…

was a boss now.

From now on, all these people would be his employees.

Heh…

That felt strangely novel.

“Mr. Su, please.”

At the elevator, Li Na made a small gesture of invitation.

Su Wangchuan nodded, did not stand on ceremony, and stepped inside first. The others followed one after another, with Li Na entering last.

The elevator doors closed.

“Mr. Su, the personnel floor is arranged on the fiftieth floor. The four floors above it are all yours. The fifty-first floor will serve as your residence and also includes a training ground, the swimming pool you requested, and a blacksmith shop.”

Su Wangchuan’s face remained calm.

But inside, Lin Jiahe and the others felt their hearts overturning like stormy seas, and had to struggle to keep themselves composed.

They had never imagined that Su Wangchuan had silently acquired an entire high-rise building and opened a game studio of his own.

A disciple of an ancient martial family really was wealthy.

Li Na continued:

“The fifty-second floor is the area reserved for you to receive guests and friends. It includes a conference room, leisure and entertainment spaces, an octagonal cage arena, and sparring areas…”

“The fifty-third floor is the family zone prepared for your relatives!”

“And the fifty-fourth floor is our security zone. Several rooms have been reserved there for Martial Artists to station themselves, and at least forty-eight security robots will be deployed on that floor.”

“Ordinary employees will live from the twentieth to the forty-ninth floors.”

“The lower floors are arranged for the cafeteria, entertainment and fitness, food storage, security maintenance, training grounds, conference rooms, and Gaming Helmet storage, among other functions…”

Li Na’s explanation was concise and easy to understand.

When the elevator arrived at the fiftieth floor, she happened to finish her overview and led everyone toward her office.

Her figure was graceful from behind.

Shrewd and capable.

The aura of a mature workplace beauty pressed down on the whole group so heavily that no one dared breathe too loudly.

Once inside the office, Li Na first turned to Lin Jiahe and the others.

“Because there are certain confidentiality rules within the game studio, before we formally discuss internal matters, I need to confirm whether the four of you truly intend to join.”

Everyone turned toward the four from the Bajiquan Martial Arts Gym.

Lin Jiahe looked at Su Wangchuan and nodded firmly.

“We accept any arrangement Mr. Su makes for us.”

They had already made up their minds on the way over. Once they learned that Su Wangchuan intended to make a major move here, the four of them had all thought it through:

As long as they could learn real skills, even selling themselves to Su Wangchuan would not matter.

Su Wangchuan nodded and smiled.

“《spirit realm》 is about to be fully rolled out. First sign the confidentiality agreement and the employment contract, then collect your Gaming Helmets. Later, I’ll find a time to teach you the internal cultivation method I practice.”

The moment those words came out, the four of them were overjoyed!

“Good!”

All four answered in unison, practically unable to wait any longer.

Clearly, they had already read the contracts beforehand, so they signed them at once. Then, under Li Na’s guidance, they underwent blood sampling and iris scans and bound their Gaming Helmets.

The contracts now were somewhat different from the ones before.

The current game contracts explicitly stated that physical discomfort and stress reactions could occur in the game, that the game could strengthen the body and improve fitness, but that it could also involve personal injury or, in rare cases, death, for which the game studio would bear no responsibility whatsoever.

When the group returned to the office, Su Wangchuan said to them:

“Junior Brother Hong, you’ll have to work hard for a while. For the time being, you’ll serve as the head of Sanjiang Studio’s Gold-Farming Team and lead the newcomers into Hejiang Town first.”

“All right!”

Hong Kaibao agreed immediately.

Then Wangchuan turned to Wang Yuehui.

“As for the Land-Clearing Group, I’m putting it in your hands. Select suitable prospects. For example, the four of them—Mr. Lin Jiahe and the others—all have a certain Martial Artist foundation. You’ll be responsible for connecting with them, explaining everything about 《spirit realm》, and helping them adapt to all of it… For now, they’ll be assigned to serve under the Sanjiang Branch Helm.”

“Yes!”

Wang Yuehui had clearly been prepared for this.

As for Wang Zixuan…

Su Wangchuan smiled faintly.

“Zixuan has already been in 《spirit realm》 for some time. Once the studio officially begins operations, you’ll take charge of the Gold-Farming Team. In any case, staying on the Sanjiang Branch Helm’s side, with your elder brother looking after you, won’t put you in any danger.”

“All right, I’ll listen to Big Brother Su.”

Wang Zixuan nodded.

Lin Jiahe and the others departed with the group.

Only Su Wangchuan and Li Na remained in the office.

Li Na closed the door and returned to her seat across from him.

“Boss.”

“There’s something I need to confirm with you now.”

“When you just said that you would teach an internal cultivation method to Lin Jiahe and the other three…”

“Are you planning to promote all four of them directly into the Sanhe Commandery hall and arrange for them to form our first Land-Clearing Team? Or has your 《Xuanwu Art》 already broken through to ‘Perfect Mastery’?”

As the studio supervisor, Li Na naturally needed to understand the situation and future development plan of every single person, and also to understand the boss’s own condition.

Su Wangchuan looked into Li Na’s eyes and showed a faint smile.

“《Xuanwu Art》, Perfect Mastery.”

“…”

Li Na froze for a brief moment. Then her peach-blossom eyes widened slightly, and her small mouth parted in astonishment.

“An internal cultivation method!”

“Perfect Mastery.”

“An internal cultivation method!”

Li Na blinked hard several times, confirming that Su Wangchuan was not joking. Then she shot to her feet in excitement.

“I never imagined that the very first boss I would encounter would actually be a child of destiny!”

“Boss!”

“From now on, can we make one copy of 《Xuanwu Art》 every day? Just with that one line of business alone, our Sanjiang Studio will definitely become number one in H City!!”
