Chapter 551 Call of Duty
Chen Ran hesitated to speak several times. His eyes were full of confusion, and he felt like a kitten was scratching his heart.
Finally, he couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked, "Are the salaries in your Wolf Fang Brigade so high?"
As he spoke, he secretly looked at Qi Tongwei, trying to find some answers from his expression.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he remembered that Qi Tongwei seemed to have worked in a more powerful army.
Then, as if he suddenly realized that he had asked the wrong question, he quickly corrected himself and said, "No, you were in a more powerful military unit before. Is it true that the more secretive the unit, the higher the salary?"
There was a hint of expectation in his voice, hoping that Qi Tongwei could give him a reasonable explanation.
Qi Tongwei just shook his head, and his calm expression made Chen Ran even more confused.
"Isn't it?"
Chen Ran kept asking.
"do not know."
Qi Tongwei answered simply, his attention still focused on driving, as if the question was not important to him.
Chen Ran looked confused. He really couldn't understand how Qi Tongwei could be so calm.
After a moment of silence, he couldn't help but ask, "What about your money..."
Qi Tongwei then said calmly: "I never look at my salary. This money is my share from the gaming company."
After hearing this, Chen Ran felt as if he had fallen into a fog and was completely confused.
He stared at Qi Tongwei with wide eyes in disbelief and asked, "Game company? Did you join the army after starting your own business?"
In his opinion, being a soldier requires full commitment, so how can he have time to start a game company?
The gap between the two is too big, and he really can't connect the two things together.
Qi Tongwei replied calmly, "No, I was bored after serving in the army, so I just made a game, but it turned out pretty good."
Chen Ran felt like he was listening to a fairy tale.
His mind kept emerging with the busy figure of Qi Tongwei in the army. Training and carrying out missions took up a lot of his time. He really couldn't imagine how Qi Tongwei still had the energy to make a game.
And it was just a "casual" effort, but it produced such good results. How is this possible?
Is this how the word "by the way" is used?
Chen Ran thought silently in his heart.
He looked at Qi Tongwei as if he was looking at a person from another world, full of mystery and wonder.
"Chief Qi, please stop joking."
"Being in the military is so busy, how can you find time to make games?"
"Besides, making games is not a simple matter. From planning, programming to promotion, it takes a lot of effort."
Chen Ran still found it hard to accept and tried to get a more reasonable explanation from Qi Tongwei.
Qi Tongwei glanced at Chen Ran and raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he found Chen Ran's reaction a little funny.
He said: "For some things, as long as you want to do them, you can always find the time. I just used some fragmented time, and with the help of a few like-minded friends, I slowly started making the game."
After listening to Qi Tongwei's explanation, Chen Ran still found it a little difficult to understand, but he also knew that Qi Tongwei was not the kind of person who liked to lie.
His admiration for Qi Tongwei increased a little more. In his opinion, Qi Tongwei not only had outstanding military abilities, but also had unexpected talents in other areas.
"Chief Qi, you are truly a versatile person."
"I only knew you were great in the army, but I didn't expect you to be so good at business as well."
Chen Ran exclaimed in admiration sincerely.
Qi Tongwei smiled and said nothing.
However, Chen Ran admired Qi Tongwei even more. He felt that a smart person like Qi Tongwei would definitely be at the top level no matter what he did.
He took out his cell phone and started reading the news, his fingers sliding across the screen, his eyes fixed on the phone screen.
He first read two articles about the international situation. He was fascinated by the news about the political games and military developments between countries.
He frowned from time to time, or nodded slightly.
Continue sliding the screen, and the next piece of news is that a game has updated a certain equipment.
That was the news about the game "Call of Duty". Chen Ran's eyes lit up when he saw the familiar game icon.
The news mentioned that the game "Call of Duty" has more than 200 million players worldwide, and its total revenue last quarter was 1 billion yuan. This huge number made Chen Ran stunned.
When Chen Ran saw the updated content of the game, his face was full of excitement.
"Call of Duty just updated this piece of equipment with incredibly strong defense. Look at the stats of this piece of equipment, its defense bonus is insane."
As Chen Ran spoke, he tilted the screen of his mobile phone towards Qi Tongwei, as if he wanted Qi Tongwei to take a look at this powerful equipment, although he knew that Qi Tongwei was driving and had no time to pay attention.
"And it's a perfect match with that sniper rifle they released last month."
"Combining these two will greatly increase your lethality and survivability in the game."
"I feel like if I use this combination, I can easily get into the top 3,000 in the server."
Chen Ran became more and more excited as he spoke, with a fiery light flashing in his eyes.
“The game’s production team is really amazing, and every update brings new surprises to players.”
“They also have a very precise grasp of the game balance and will not make a certain equipment or weapon too powerful and ruin the gaming experience.”
Chen Ran continued to talk incessantly, completely immersed in his love for the game "Call of Duty".
“I still remember the first time I played this game, I was attracted by its realistic graphics and exciting battle scenes.”
"Every time I complete a mission or win a battle, the sense of accomplishment is indescribable."
Chen Ran's face was filled with a happy smile. He recalled every moment in the game, the days of fighting side by side with his teammates, and the moments of shuttling through gunfire and hail of bullets. All of these made him feel deeply attached to the game.
“Also, the game’s social system is very well done, allowing me to meet players from all over the world.”
“Sometimes even though we don’t speak the same language, we can still become good friends through the tacit cooperation in the game.”
Chen Ran's voice was full of admiration for the game. He felt that "Call of Duty" was not just a game, but also a virtual world where he could relax, make friends, and experience exciting battles.
Qi Tongwei turned an S-turn and the car passed the curve smoothly.
"Do you play this game too?"
There was a hint of curiosity in Qi Tongwei's voice.
Chen Ran was so excited that he nodded vigorously.
When the game was mentioned, he seemed to open up his chatterbox and couldn't stop saying: "No soldier doesn't know this game!"
"This game is simply a paradise for us military enthusiasts."
"Also, all my comrades are gaming experts. Whenever we have free time, we get together to discuss in-game tactics, equipment, and so on."
Chen Ran's eyes sparkled, his face brimming with pride as he continued, "My best record is 3076th in the server."
"I have put in a lot of effort to achieve this ranking."
"Every day I have to study different maps, familiarize myself with the performance of various weapons, and constantly hone tactics with my teammates."
Qi Tongwei smiled slightly, and that smile contained a kind of recognition and encouragement for Chen Ran.
"Good record. How do you use the General 95 rifle?"
Chen Ran didn't expect Qi Tongwei to play this game. His eyes widened instantly, and his voice rose several degrees in excitement: "Chief, you play it too?"
"This is such a surprise! The General 95 is too powerful and has too much recoil. I don't know how to use it."
"Every time I used that gun, the bullets were completely out of control and couldn't hit the enemy at all."
"You play this? You must be really good at the game, right?"
Chen Ran leaned forward, staring at Qi Tongwei with eyes full of anticipation.
His heart was filled with excitement. In his opinion, Qi Tongwei had such strong military capabilities in reality that he must be a god-level existence in the game.
He couldn't wait to hear Qi Tongwei share more about the game.
"I just play occasionally to relax."
Qi Tongwei said lightly.
"Captain, please don't be so modest. With your abilities, you will surely be able to sweep away countless enemies in the game."
Chen Ran said this with admiration on his face, and his mind had already begun to imagine the scene of Qi Tongwei killing everyone in the game.
"Not really. There's still a big difference between games and reality."
"However, some of the tactical ideas in the game are similar to real-life combat."
Qi Tongwei was driving attentively while sharing his views with Chen Ran.
Chen Ran listened with great interest, nodding his head in agreement: "Commander, you are absolutely right."
"I think the teamwork and adaptability developed through the game will be helpful to us in carrying out our missions in the army."
Chen Ran became more and more excited as he spoke. He felt that the distance between him and Qi Tongwei had been shortened a lot because of this game.
He always had an excited smile on his face, and he discussed various details of the game with Qi Tongwei incessantly, completely immersed in this pleasant atmosphere of communication.
Qi Tongwei nodded. Chen Ran seemed to have suddenly thought of something and said with sudden enlightenment, "Commander, you are also a game developer. You must understand this kind of top-level military game better than I do. I am a bit of an expert."
There was a hint of annoyance in his voice. He felt that he had just been talking incessantly like an ignorant child in front of Qi Tongwei.
Qi Tongwei smiled nonchalantly and said, "Next week, a new competition format will be released. The top 5,000 players in the server rankings will be invited to participate. Then there will be a ranking competition. Anyone who makes it into the top 3,000 will receive a collectible gun."
When Chen Ran heard the news, his eyes lit up instantly, like a hungry wolf seeing its prey.
He was so excited that his body was shaking slightly. He said excitedly, "Really? Then I should be able to participate. I'm currently ranked over 4,000."
"This is a great opportunity! If I can get that collectible gun, I'll be even more impressive in the game."
In his mind, he had already begun to imagine himself holding the collectible gun and killing everyone in the game.
But he soon recovered from his excitement, his eyes full of curiosity, and he couldn't help asking: "But how do you know all this?"
"I haven't seen any relevant news on the game's official website or forum."
His eyes were fixed on Qi Tongwei, trying to find the answer from Qi Tongwei's expression.
Qi Tongwei glanced at Chen Ran, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he said mysteriously: "I have some cooperative relationship with the game company, so I can know some inside information in advance."
After hearing what Qi Tongwei said, Chen Ran opened his mouth wide, his face full of surprise.
He didn't expect that Qi Tongwei had such a relationship with the game company. This seemed too amazing to him.
"Commander, you're truly amazing. Do you know any other details about this new model?"
"For example, are there any special rules for this competition mode?"
"Or does that collection gun have any special properties?"
Chen Ran blurted out a series of questions like a curious baby.
Qi Tongwei was amused by Chen Ran's enthusiasm. He said, "I'm not very clear about the specific rules. I just know that this competition mode may use a brand new map and there will be some random mission elements added in."
"As for the Collector's Gun, I only know that its attributes will be stronger than ordinary guns, but I won't know exactly how strong it is until the game is released."
After hearing what Qi Tongwei said, Chen Ran's eyes sparkled with anticipation. He rubbed his hands and said, "That sounds very exciting."
"I have to go back and prepare quickly. I must achieve good results in this new format."
He couldn't wait to dive into the new challenges of the game.
Qi Tongwei looked at Chen Ran's excitement and said with a smile, "Let's finish the task at hand first. We'll have plenty of time to play games after we rescue Mengyao."
After hearing what Qi Tongwei said, Chen Ran immediately realized that he had put the cart before the horse.
He scratched his head sheepishly and said, "You're right, Chief. We should complete the mission first. But I'm more motivated now. I must show my skills in the game after completing the mission."
