MMORPG: Martial Gamer

Chapter 1797 1797: It Turns Out to Be the Big Boss

"Oh?"

Upon hearing Mary's words, everyone's attention in the Quan Zhen sect was drawn to her.

Whether or not to sign is one thing, but having someone actively seeking you out is another. When Quan Zhen Sect first won the professional league championship, quite a few people approached them. Now, however, they were completely ignored.

After all, they were a grassroots team. Although they had briefly won the championship, many people viewed it as largely due to luck. Especially after the emergence of the powerful Peerless Heaven, who signed many of the Quan Zhen people, no one dared to provoke this giant.

Despite being well-known experts, they didn't even have anyone trying to poach them, which the Quan Zhen members were quite sensitive about.

Moreover, Peerless Heaven was a purely commercial guild focused on their studio work and had no interest in professional competitions. Thus, they didn't care about the wandering souls of the Quan Zhen sect, even after the appearance of the powerful players.

In fact, when members of the Quan Zhen sect wanted to buy materials from Peerless Heaven, they had to pay out of their own pockets; if they didn't, the lower-level staff would complain. This was something that would never happen in other guilds.

Legitimate guilds would support their teams by providing food and accommodation, unlike Peerless Heaven, which merely supported the Quan Zhen sect as a facade or muscle, never engaging in real business.

At this moment, hearing that someone wanted to sign them under Peerless Heaven, the members of the Quan Zhen sect were quite excited.

"Who is this with such vision?"

Ming Du, known for being straightforward, didn't even care that the powerful Peerless Heaven was standing next to him and asked directly.

Mary replied nonchalantly, "Me!"

"You?"

Not only Ming Du, but the other members of Quan Zhen were also taken aback, thinking the girl had gone mad.

"Do you know how much it costs to sign a professional team?" Boson couldn't help but pull Mary, saying, "Stop messing around."

"Money is a minor issue." Mary waved her hand and said, "You all have first-tier expert treatment, and Brother Bull has another contract."

"Hey, hey, hey, are you done joking? You make it sound like it's real", Boson said, wiping the sweat from his forehead awkwardly.

Currently, first-tier expert treatment like that of the Kyushu team starts at an annual salary of thirty million, and someone like Wang Yu would require at least a hundred million. Mary was just a girl from a gold farming studio, without Wang Yu to look after her; she might not even be able to survive in the game. Now she was casually mentioning contracts worth hundreds of millions, which was indeed quite embarrassing.

Seeing Boson's reaction, Mary said leisurely, "Brother Boson, all of you big bosses, I'm serious. As long as everyone agrees, we can sign the contract in the game right now."

Saying this, Mary casually pulled out a stack of contracts and handed them to Fearless.

"Is there really a contract? This play is quite well-executed."

Seeing the contract in Fearless's hands, Ming Du and the others quickly gathered around. However, when they saw the company's name at the bottom of the contract, they were all dumbfounded.

The contract handed over by Mary bore the signature of Soaring Dragon Group.

In the game, to facilitate the transfer of professional players, various investment companies of major teams can apply to the game company for registration of in-game corporate signatures, which also have legal effect. Although the name Soaring Dragon Group might sound clichéd, it was the only one with capital to invest in teams, being the largest commercial consortium in the country.

Soaring Dragon Group started out in the internet software industry years ago and has been developing for nearly a century, covering various business sectors. Online games are just a part of it; even the current game everyone is playing, <<Rebirth>>, is simply a product of one of Soaring Dragon Group's studios.

In the eyes of the Quan Zhen members, Mary was merely a gold farmer, belonging to the lowest tier in the game. Yet now, she pulled out a contract from Soaring Dragon Group, which was akin to a regular person who usually complains about life suddenly revealing they are the world's richest person. It was not only hard to believe but felt like a dream.

"This... is this a fake?"

Especially Ming Du, upon seeing the signature on the contract, began to question his life, snatching the contract from Fearless's hands and examining it repeatedly, trying to find some clues.

"Stop talking nonsense." Fearless said, "This is the game; corporate signatures require capital verification for registration. If it were fake, the cost of forgery would be astronomical. Besides, Mary has already mentioned her identity before."

"What? Identity? Do you know her identity?" Ming Du still seemed confused.

Fearless replied, speechless, "Soaring Dragon Game Studios, surname Ma... what identity do you think I need to mention?"

"Soaring Dragon Game Studios... surname Ma, you... you are."

With Fearless's reminder, Ming Du suddenly reacted, pointing at Mary, unsure of what to say.

"That's right!" Fearless nodded, "Miss Mary is the daughter of Boss Ma."

"From the looks of you, you knew all along?" Seeing that Fearless was not surprised at all, Wang Yu asked with a sidelong glance.

"Of course."

Fearless smiled and said, "I knew it during the professional league; she let it slip once, but I caught it."

"Damn! Why didn't you say it earlier?" The members of Quan Zhen glared at Fearless in unison.

This bastard was too despicable, clearly aware of Mary's true identity yet pretending not to know, making the others seem blind to the obvious.

"Hehe." Fearless grinned, "It's more exciting to play the pig to eat the tiger. Miss Mary might very well be our boss in the future, so of course, I couldn't expose her. Besides, you guys seem to have your heads in the clouds every day; it's about time you learned a lesson."

"Haha!"

Having been exposed by Fearless, Mary's face turned red, and she laughed to cover her embarrassment, saying, "Big Brother Fearless is still as clever as ever. So, are we signing this contract or not? If you think the?? (treatment) isn't good enough, we can negotiate further."

"Miss Ma."

As soon as Mary finished speaking, before Fearless could respond, the powerful Peerless Heaven's side was displeased, with a dark expression saying, "Isn't it a bit unfair? Now that there's no one wanting the members of Quan Zhen Sect, you didn't even ask me?"

Initially, Peerless Heaven had signed the Quan Zhen Sect under its banner to avoid harassment, thinking Mary was just joking with them. They hadn't taken her seriously, but now that this girl had such impressive credentials and even presented a contract from Soaring Dragon Group, Peerless Heaven couldn't just sit back.

"Haha, Boss Yao."

Mary, being a clever girl, quickly said, "Isn't it a waste of talent to keep all of your big bosses tied under Peerless Heaven?"

"Hehe!"

Peerless Heaven was not one to back down either, retorting, "As a game developer, doesn't your Soaring Dragon Game Studios know to avoid conflicts of interest?"

Peerless Heaven was indeed a big shot with millions of employees, and he got straight to the point with one sentence.

"That's true."

Hearing Peerless Heaven's words, Fearless frowned and questioned.
