Chapter 326 -328: Prelude to Server Launch (5000 words)

Within the best hospital room in Shanghai, a very cute nurse bustled into the ward, brimming with excitement.

“Zhou Bo, here’s your lab report, there’s really no problem.”

“It’s truly unbelievable, your cancer really has gone into remission!! God bless~”

The girl was so excited that she was visibly moved, looking at the handsome young man on the bed with genuine joy on her face and eyes sparkling like stars.

“This is simply a medical miracle, your cancer was in the advanced stages, and yet it has completely receded!”

Caught off guard by the nurse’s sudden entrance, Zhou Bo blinked in surprise, instinctively closing the official forum for “Glory” before realizing he hadn’t saved the post he had been halfway through editing…

But he was no longer concerned about that, his attention fully captured by the nurse’s words.

“Thank you, Little Yu, if it weren’t for your care during this time, I doubt I would have recovered so quickly.”

Zhou Bo took a deep breath, unable to hide the surprise in his eyes.

Although he had always felt that ever since he reclassed into the Undead Clan’s hidden profession—Hand of Death in “Glory”—his body had gradually been regaining strength, becoming stronger and no longer frail.

And his spirits were rapidly improving day by day, but the moment he actually held the lab report, his heart couldn’t help but swell with immense joy.

His hands clenched into fists beneath his gray-and-white hospital gown.

“Undead Monarch, Undead Clan… “Glory”…”

“I don’t know what kind of secrets are hidden within, but it’s you who have given me a new life.”

“It’s nothing, I didn’t help much,” the nurse replied with a sweet smile, then hesitated for a moment.

“Zhou Bo, your attending physician will come for a thorough physical examination later. They may ask you some tricky questions, but if you don’t want to answer, you don’t have to…”

Zhou Bo felt warmed by her words, looking at the girl he had been close to for nearly two years, with a slight stir in his heart.

His handsome face showed a hint of nervousness.

“Little Yu, once I’m discharged I…”

“What is it?”

“I… would you let me take you out for dinner… and maybe see a movie?”

After stammering out his invitation, he looked anxiously at the simple and cute girl before him, his right hand unwittingly clenching the bedsheets, Zhou Bo’s heart beating more intensely than ever.

The girl, taken aback by the hopeful eyes before her, subconsciously bit her lip and gave a shy hum in affirmation.

When Zhou Bo heard her agree, the whole world seemed to light up for him.

Just as he was about to speak, a flurry of hurried footsteps approached from outside the ward.

“Where, where?? The terminal cancer patient has really recovered???

You guys aren’t joking, right? He had a critical illness notice three months ago, and now he’s alive?….”

A middle-aged doctor in a white coat with thick glasses rushed into the ward.

Seeing Zhou Bo, who appeared to be in good spirits, it was as if he had seen a lab rat; the gleam in his eyes outshone that from seeing a beauty.

Zhou Bo shuddered internally, “Damn, this guy’s vibe is more terrifying than that of the Demigod Level Undead Monarch??”

The following day.

After a group of cancer specialists skeptically examined him twice from head to toe, they all had to admit, the guy who they thought at most had a few months to live, for whom they had even prepared a morgue bed, was now miraculously cured.

This was simply a miracle in medical history.

Zhou Bo was immediately promoted by the First Hospital as an exemplar, and for a long time hence, he would be showcased to the outside world as a medical miracle, encouraging patients to never give up.

For a time, Zhou Bo became the pillar of faith for many patients.

But Zhou Bo, now returned to normal, naturally knew the real reason behind his recovery, which he preferred not to discuss.

In the hospital ward, Zhou Bo slowly packed his belongings, that he had used over the past two years, into the suitcase that nurse Little Yu had bought for him. With a longing for the future, he turned and left the ward that had so often brought him close to the brink of death.

After completing the discharge procedures, the two approached the hospital’s entrance.

The girl in the nurse’s uniform looked happily at Zhou Bo’s departing figure, but then, as if remembering something, she suddenly appeared a bit disheartened.

Over the course of two years, she had grown accustomed to the boy’s presence, and seeing his smile daily was the warmest sight for her.

It seemed he noticed the girl’s feelings, as Zhou Bo turned around, flashing a brilliant smile.

“Little Yu, don’t think just because I’m discharged from the hospital, you can pretend not to recognize me.”

“Remember our date tomorrow… cough cough, for dinner.”

Only then did the girl snap back to reality, her face showing anticipation mixed with a bit of shyness.

She tried to act nonchalant.

“Nag.”

“You should head back first. You sold your house to pay for the treatment last time; surely you need to find a new place to live.”

As she spoke, she seemed to remember something, and her voice unconsciously lowered,

“If… if you can’t find a place to stay for the time being, there’s a spare room at my house…”

Her voice trailed off more and more, her cheeks coloring with an embarrassed blush.

Beep beep~ At that moment, an inopportunely timed pair of honks interrupted their conversation from the side of the road.

A brand-new Porsche slowly came to a stop on the road before them.

Bang~

The passenger side door opened, and a young, sharp-dressed man quickly got out of the car. Under the girl’s astonished gaze, he approached Zhou Bo and greeted him with respect.

“Mr. Zhou, the car is ready.

The executive meeting at the company is set to start at 4 p.m. today, and the administrative department has already booked the restaurant at Lijiang Five-star Hotel for this evening to welcome you.”

Seeing this, the girl’s mouth hung open foolishly as she stared at Zhou Bo, wanting to say something but not knowing how to start.

Zhou Bo gave the girl a warm smile.

“Little Yu, this is my assistant, Wei Feng.

I acquired a company two months ago and I haven’t had the chance to tell you… I’ll take you to visit this weekend…”

“Oh, what were you saying just now? I didn’t catch it clearly?”

The girl’s cheeks instantly flushed a deep red, and she shook her head vigorously, “I didn’t say anything, you heard wrong.

Go ahead with your business, I still have patients to attend to for their IVs…”

With that, she turned around and quickly walked away with her head down, still somewhat dazed inside.

The girl didn’t understand how the big boy who had sold his house to save her had suddenly become the boss of a large company…

Her thoughts were a mess.

Watching the girl’s retreating figure, Zhou Bo finally remembered what she had said just moments ago, slapping his head sharply.

He glared at the composed young man before him, grinding his teeth.

“Who told you to come so early?”

There’s a spare room at my place… Ah, what exactly did I just miss??

“Mr. Zhou?”

The young assistant looked utterly confused. Was there anything wrong with coming early?

Taking a few deep breaths, Zhou Bo calmed the turmoil in his heart and got into the luxury car.

After the vehicle started, Zhou Bo began to ask questions.

“Little Feng, how many ‘Glory’ gaming pods have we acquired?”

Assistant Wei Feng pondered for a brief moment before responding.

“Mr. Zhou, it seems someone is controlling the release of the gaming pods; we’ve only managed to acquire 500 units.

It appears 500 is the threshold. After we acquired up to 500 last week, no matter where we went to ‘Glory’s’ selling points, we couldn’t purchase any more gaming pods.”

This content is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.

Hearing this, Zhou Bo’s eyes narrowed slightly.

From the day he entered the game, he sensed that Glory was no ordinary venture, due to his sharp instincts as a top player, for his ID was—Knight with the Broken Sword.

As a professional gamer who started playing games crazily since the age of 10, his vision and perception were much sharper than the average person.

After discovering the specialty of “Glory,” he prepared to spare no expense to enlarge his advantage in “Glory.”

Thus, the ability of players to resurrect as Undead became the power that thrilled him the most, and he wanted to organize a team comprised solely of players at his beck and call.

In the Undead Empire, as the meritious person who personally pulled out the Holy Light Sword and released the Undead Monarch sealed for a hundred thousand years, he not only obtained a hidden profession but also became a disciple of the Undead Monarch.

He had immense influence among the natives and was entirely capable of nurturing a powerful team of players.

By then, the reputation of the Knight of the Broken Sword was sure to become eternal among the players.

Zhou Bo had already been pondering the future since his health gradually improved.

Purchasing the company was also part of this idea; everything about this game was worth the effort to him.

Here, buried treasures enough to make everyone’s hearts flutter were hidden.

“The public test for the game is in two days, regardless of whether we can buy more gaming capsules or not, I hope all of you increase your efforts to search. Even if it means paying extra to buy from other players, do not spare any expense.

Little Feng, this game, is not as simple as you think…”

“Yes, Mr. Zhou.”

After giving instructions, Zhou Bo seemed to remember something and curiously asked.

“By the way, last time you mentioned that the club called Crimson Moon contacted us, wanting to obtain the Dark Summoning Skill that summons Bone Dragons from me, how did the negotiation go?”

Wei Feng spoke softly, “Mr. Zhou, last time the other party was willing to offer 500 Second Circle Magic Scrolls in exchange, but we have not agreed yet, we need you to make the final decision.”

Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Zhou Bo’s eyes.

“500 Magic Scrolls??”

In his view, the Dark Summoning Skill capable of summoning Bone Dragons was definitely worth 500 Magic Scrolls, but what surprised him was that someone could produce such a vast number of Magic Scrolls at this point in time.

He was someone who understood the market; according to the information gleaned from “Glory,” except for the southern province of the Nolan Empire where Magic Scrolls seemed more abundant, other areas were scarce.

Being able to come up with so many Magic Scrolls now, the power behind it in “Glory” would definitely not be small.

Zhou Bo’s interest piqued immediately.

“What’s the name of the Crimson Moon’s power in ‘Glory’? Why haven’t I heard any news about them?”

“They were not willing to reveal their specific name.”

“Any other information?”

“According to them, in Green City, the largest city in the southern province of the Nolan Empire, Crimson Moon has established a trade association that has formed ties with several major Nobles.

Thus, anything that can be found on the market, can be traded through them.

And these 500 Magic Scrolls are proof of their strength.

If this transaction goes smoothly, Crimson Moon also hopes to establish a strategic partnership with us in the future and hopes we can trade the specialties of the Undead Empire with them.”

Hearing Wei Feng’s words, Zhou Bo couldn’t help but imagine a massive power in his mind.

Crimson Moon, this name was deeply etched in his memory.

“By the way, Mr. Zhou, here are screenshots from their warehouse. They mentioned during the negotiation that you might be interested after seeing this.”

Wei Feng finished speaking and passed Zhou Bo the mobile phone.

Taking it, Zhou Bo looked at the opened album and took a sharp intake of breath.

“Four Circle Magic Scroll Manufacturing Skill…”

“Extraordinary Level weapons…”

“Thousands of sets of Rare, Perfect Level armor…”

“Tens of thousands of Gold Pucks…”

“…”

Originally, he thought that by becoming a disciple of the Undead Monarch and changing his profession to the hidden Undead profession, he was absolutely at the pinnacle of all players.

But at this moment, looking at the photo on the phone, Zhou Bo’s heart was immediately struck hard.

How is that even possible??

How could anyone acquire such precious treasures and resources in this span of time??

Did the damn Crimson Moon just pry open the treasure vault of the King of Nolan Empire?

That’s just ridiculous.

At the same time, he couldn’t help but feel a profound sense of awe toward the Crimson Moon—a seemingly inconspicuous force, yet possessing resources far beyond his own reach.

This Crimson Moon, so freaking amazing.

At this moment, Zhou Bo probably couldn’t believe that the items displayed were just a batch of materials casually selected by Lide in preparation for the upcoming server opening.

When it comes to real power, Zhou Bo had no idea of the extent of the force Lide currently wielded.

The Crimson Mage Tower, Dark Contract, Dwarf Valley, the dwarf hills, along with the Fishman Tribe they were strategizing to ally with, and the very heart of all influence—Dawn City.

Lide’s domain had grown vast beyond what current players could imagine.

A mastermind was slowly taking shape behind the scenes.

“Mr. Zhou, about the collaboration with Crimson Moon, what do you think?”

After seeing the photos on Wei Feng’s phone, Zhou Bo took a deep breath and spoke resolutely.

“We must collaborate with them, having such a powerful ally within the Human Empire can bring immense benefits to both sides.”

Without Lide knowing, the Dark Summoning Skill, which Zhou Bo so coveted and could summon the Bone Dragon, silently shifted into his possession after a few screenshots surfaced, greatly reducing the time cost he would have spent searching for it.

This marked a solid step toward the birth of the Sea of Bone Dragons.

“During the server opening the day after tomorrow, all professional players in the company must log in on time to create new accounts.

If you can choose the exact birthplace, it must be the Undead Empire.

The Undead Clan will be our focal point for conquest.”

“Yes, Mr. Zhou.”

“Furthermore, regarding…”

Zhou Bo arranged a few tasks in the car, feeling a bit more relaxed, and casually opened the “Glory” official website, scanned the unchanging game information, and then visited the player forum.

The instant he saw those posts, he could feel the jubilant atmosphere in the air.

“HAHAHA, the game is opening in two days!!! My big sculpture is already starving and thirsty. The azaleas on Jasmine Street, did you miss me? BigSword.jpg”

“The game is about to open, let me introduce three places in the Royal Capital of Casano Country that are suitable for big swords. I have personally experienced it—if you have enough Gold Puck, you could even enjoy the marvelous Half-Elf~HalfElf.jpg”

“HAHAHA, looking at all these posts anticipating the public test of the game the day after tomorrow, I couldn’t be happier. A bunch of losers, do you think you’re going to “Glory” to show off? HAHAHA, wait till you have to carry bricks at the dock to fill your belly every day, help unload trucks, or even descend into prostitution, serving over-50-year-old noblewomen, then you’ll understand how exciting this game is. Hang in there, don’t give up, DogHead.jpg”

“Godslayer Guild is recruiting fervently! Here we have adorable cutesy little sisters, rich tycoons who give out red packets at the drop of a hat, and hunky guys with well-defined abs. What are you waiting for, come and sign up~LoliLegs.jpg”

“Latest news, the reward for the game designer’s location, supported by 78,000 players’ funds, has reached 2.35 million RMB, and the number is still rapidly increasing. The most generous tycoon alone contributed 100,000 RMB. Unfortunately, no one knows the location of the “Glory” official website to date; those damn elusive designers are still out of sight, and this reward money remains unclaimed, but tune in at the same time tomorrow for our ongoing report.”

Zhou Bo’s mouth twitched fiercely upon reading the last message.

These nutjob players were unmatched in stirring up trouble.

To protest the inactivity of the official site and the extreme difficulty of “Glory,” a few players initiated a bounty to locate the “Glory” official office.

What started out as a bit of fun spiraled as more and more players, devastated by the native inhabitants of “Glory,” joined in anger.

These deeply aggrieved nutjobs were being outsmarted by the crafty natives over and over.

More and more people joined the reward offer, with some tycoons in their rage promptly dumping 100,000 RMB, just to find an office address… an act that could be called the craziest in history.

Now, aside from the launch of “Glory,” the most attention-grabbing issue was the whereabouts of the game’s developers or operating offices.

Over the past period, this reward of over two million attracted countless players to come searching, sparking a craze outside the gaming community: report the correct address, prove it’s accurate, and you could win over two million RMB—it was like picking up money.

Unfortunately, the “Glory” official site seemed to have vanished into the depths of the Pacific Ocean, as even the most fervent players couldn’t find any trace of it.

And the location of the “Glory” official website became one of the top ten mysteries of “Glory” later on.
