Marvelous Mecha

Chapter 105: Shadow Rider Online_1


730 Federal Coins had already caught up with the half-year income of an average Alpha family. In the last battle, the number of Phantom Knight viewers was also just hovering in the tens of thousands. Despite the unexpected earnings, money should be collected because it would be wasteful not to, but there was nowhere to put this much money. So, luckily, the money was just directly left in the account; there was no one else who could touch the unique account anyway.

Opening the email, the message inside was about a partnership proposal. Hans, with extreme sincerity in his wording, hoped that the Revenge Shadow Rider would consider the partnership mentioned in the email. As a publicity manager, Hans had the privilege of making the decision first and then getting approval, but his performance still had to talk. He would be responsible for promoting the Revenge Shadow Rider, and Revenge Shadow Rider only needed to log into Star Wars matches twice a week, with a revenue split of 3 to 7, 3 for you and 7 for me.

In fact, Hans intentionally wanted to push the price lower, but he couldn't gauge the other party's temperament and was afraid that if he pushed too hard, they would not even respond to his emails, which would be embarrassing. Hans did this for the sake of company benefits, after all, employees had to share the dividends. He couldn't keep all the earnings for himself, he also had to save some for everyone else.

After reading the email, it was then kindly refused by the generous Sir Feng.

Inside the room, Hans was sitting in the boss chair, staring into the night sky. Suddenly, a notification from the mailbox abruptly brought him back to his senses. This was a special notification set up by him in the system. Apart from headquarter matters or emails from his immediate superior, who else could it be? Hearing the notification, Hans immediately jumped up from the chair and rushed to the desk.

"It's a go!" Seeing the reply of the Shadow Rider, he excitedly slapped his hand.

First slowly lighting a cigar, taking a strong puff, Hans then opened the electronic mail. However, when he saw the Shadow Rider's reply, Hans froze in place for a few seconds. Rubbing his eyes, he hadn't read it wrong, Shadow Rider had actually refused this win-win proposal...why?

Hans decided to reply to the email immediately to ask for the reason. Although being too proactive would make you look passive, there was no choice. Once Shadow Rider begins a match, who knows until when he would be online again. He couldn't afford to wait.

Hans quickly sent an email back to Shadow Rider Yifeng.

Receiving the email, Feng Yi's answer was very straightforward. There were two reasons, first, he did not want to be restricted; second, he did not accept the 3 to 7 revenue split.

Logging in twice a week to Star Wars was not impossible, he just did not want his freedom to be restricted. As for the second reason, Feng Yi did not really care about the money. The future battlefield was uncertain, to put it another way, although money was a good thing, normal match earnings could also be split 50-50, there really was no need to do this. It did not mean to make things difficult for anyone.

Hans sank into deep thought and didn't hurry to reply. He was still considering whether the step he was about to take was the right one. Usually, it might seem like a good idea, but when it actually comes to making a decision, everyone finds it difficult. If the company suffered a loss because he gave in, losing his job as a small-time publicity manager would be the least of his worries; how would he cover his daughter's huge medical fees?

However, time waits for no man. Hans eventually exhaled and sent a quick reply to Revenge Shadow Rider... claiming that Shadow Rider could log in freely, as long as he informed them in advance before logging on. That was the maximum flexibility he could negotiate within his authority.

As for the 37% revenue split, Hans didn't mention it, he just sincerely described his personal situation, hoping that the Shadow Rider would consider helping out, even if it's only for a short time.

Perhaps, some people would regard his thoughts, which seemed unrelated to the context, as being crazy. But Hans believed Shadow Rider was not one of those people. Hence, with a bit of hope, he hit the keyboard with a tap! The keyboard made a sound, and a letter containing helpless pleading was instantly sent out to the unknown...

Without waiting for long, when Hans opened the email, his eyes suddenly became a little moist. The letter only contained four simple words, "Ten percent is enough."

Yes, Shadow Rider was not that kind of person, he never was. What was he worrying about? Facing any opponent, Shadow Rider always let you do what you want. He was fearless in the face of failure, fought not for self-gain, and never dismissed anyone. He seemed oblivious to worldly affairs, but it was his true unconventional, although low-key, quiet self. Though silent, Hans could feel the unusual power from Shadow Rider, which represented an alternative creed.

"Okay."

Hans replied with a single word, without even saying thank you. After all, it is said that deep gratitude should be left unspoken.

"Come on, quick! Shadow Rider is online, commentators, get in position." Following Hans' roar, the Star Wars division suddenly became a complete mess...

"Prepare the operations backstage for the push on the homepage, and yes, send out the Star Field announcement now."

"Send it out now?"

"Yes, hurry up. Wait a moment, have the PR team contact the E-sports Trends channel immediately."

Not knowing which drug this bald guy had taken the wrong way, some bewildered company employees were suddenly patted by their close friends and given a signal to get to work, breaking the quiet atmosphere in the division building.

At the same time, in front of the Central Square in Alpha and the neighboring star regions, the outdoor projections of several e-sports channels had temporarily switched programming. Netizens looking for a battle live broadcast program saw the system announcement, and quickly exited. Who would care about this when the Shadow Rider is online, hurry up and leave, otherwise, you might not be able to get into the video express later.

Unaware bystanders were confused, were those guys crazy, stupid, or was there a sale at the supermarket? Walking around the streets, one could always come across a few lunatics out of dozens of people. Who cares if they're crazy or idiotic, if you had something to do then quickly go about your task, if not then simply join in on the fun.

Sheng Qiangwei was a serious and focused girl, no matter what she was doing or watching. The playback of previous battles involving Revenge Shadow Rider had completely captivated her attention.

"Wei Sister, the real person is already online, you're still watching this stuff, hurry up and get into the video express."

"No." Sheng Qiangwei shook her head calmly, she was only now seeing the end of the battle between Shadow Rider and the Supertime Police officer.

Elvis and Xiao Bo couldn't care less, they left her to her own devices. The two guys had especially ordered a few bottles of beer, fearing the lack of fine wine when the climax would hit, which would truly be a major tragedy in their lives.

With the crowd growing louder like a wave, the area was already overcrowded. In the center of the venue, Phantom Knight 0001 stood solemnly, just seeing this mecha made everyone feel a special sensation… it was so cool! It was impressive, powerful, proud, and willful. People loved the unpretentious Revenge Shadow Rider.

"Wow! I'm so excited to see Revenge Shadow Rider today."

"Little Wu, don't steal someone else's spot, the opening announcement should be given to Charlotte."

"Eh? What's the comma about?"

"Well…" Hot-blooded Battle Truck laughed heartily and took over the conversation, "The story is a bit long, but before that, do you think we should ask for the opinion of Charlotte herself, why don't we let the audience in the arena have a vote?"

Charlotte stuck out her little tongue, looking charmingly naïve. She urged everyone not to reveal her secrets.

The battle had not even started yet, but the commentators had already escalated the atmosphere at the venue to its peak...
