Alliance only bought the naming rights to the building. In fact, the Alliance Building doesn’t only house the Alliance game company.
At five o’clock in the afternoon, just the time when the vast majority of companies in the building got off work, Renji and Shota arrived near the entrance of the building, taking advantage of the tide of people getting off work.
Here, a girl wearing a receptionist uniform had been waiting for a long time. She was a bit nervous, constantly looking around, until she saw the chubby guy appear. Then, as if finally relieved, she ran over to the two with small quick steps.
“Hubby, here, I borrowed the building access card from my girlfriends’ group.”
“Wifey is awesome! Mwah~ Love you the most!” The chubby guy took the card, happily hugged the girl, and fiercely kissed her young, tender cheek.
“Oh, hubby, there’s someone else here…” The girl glanced at the young man beside the chubby guy, a little embarrassed and shy.
Renji: “…”
“Alright, hubby, I have to hurry back to my shift, or I’ll get scolded by the supervisor again if I’m found out.”
After breaking free from the chubby guy’s pig trotters, the receptionist girl specifically reminded the two before leaving:
“You can look around the building, but don’t go inside other companies’ offices. If you get caught by security and they find out the card is borrowed, I’ll be in big trouble!”
“Don’t worry wifey. My buddy and I will just go in and look around for a bit. We’ll come out very soon.” The chubby guy patted his chest.
“Mm-hmm, hubby, mwah!”
“Mwah~ Wifey!”
After the girl was completely gone, the chubby guy, who had shown off his love in front of Renji, now looked very smug and boastful.
“How about it, buddy? Do you need me to have Ranran find one for you too?”
“Although these receptionist girls have low education, their figures and looks are top-notch, and they’re easy to fool… Ahem, very innocent.”
“No need, it’s a bit sickening.” Renji answered honestly.
“Tsk, I think you’re just jealous of your buddy!”
The chubby guy shook his head and clicked his tongue at Renji’s lack of understanding of romance.
Since the video he posted on C-Station last night went viral, the chubby guy became even more convinced of Renji’s potential.
He might be a gold mine.
So now, he cared so much about Renji’s affairs, pulling strings to help Renji enter the Alliance Building and even wanting to introduce Renji to a girlfriend, consciously trying to get closer to him.
After all, if he really became famous in the future and became some big gaming streamer, he could also mix in as a celebrity buddy.
But unexpectedly, Renji was still indifferent and a bit wooden-headed, seeming to be uninterested in women, which made the chubby guy a bit regretful, losing a means to deepen their relationship.
Soon after, the two, using the access card sent by Ranran and pretending to be employees of the Alliance Building, successfully snuck into the building.
Unlike other big game companies, Alliance rose to prominence with the single game “Fallen Chronicles II”. And after taking off, they didn’t say they would invest in making other games but chose to continue refining “Fallen Chronicles II”.
Alliance rented four floors in the building, three of which were used for offices. One separate floor was like an exhibition hall, where they would specially display some conceptual things about the game “Fallen Chronicles II”.
For example, monster models, character standees, map designs, etc.
From this, it’s not hard to see the absolute status of “Fallen Chronicles II” in Alliance.
The chubby guy, who had done his homework, now brought Renji to take the elevator to this “Fallen Chronicles II” exhibition hall of Alliance.
The original purpose of this exhibition hall was for Alliance to train new employees, to let them better understand and integrate into the game “Fallen Chronicles II”, providing creative inspiration and atmosphere.
However, because it was very novel and restored many models in proportion to those in the game, it often attracted many outsiders to stop and visit. There was also no shortage of people like the chubby guy who, as players of “Fallen Chronicles II”, wanted to come and “pay homage”.
Although Alliance officially prohibited this, privately, they actually turned a blind eye to it. As long as people didn’t deliberately destroy or graffiti anything, it was considered external publicity.
“Come, come, come, bro, look at this monster model. Isn’t it awesome? Look at these claws, this tail spike, and these rotten scales on its body. The details are simply amazing!”
The chubby guy and Renji stood in front of a display stand.
Now, Shota was excitedly introducing to Renji a fierce monster model in a huge glass case.
This monster in “Fallen Chronicles II” belonged to the “Snake” level of Miasma monsters. It had two attack modes: scythe melee and tail spike ranged. It was once a classic monster that gave new players a big headache.
However, when Renji saw this monster model for the first time, the chubby guy’s commentary beside him had actually become a bit blurry.
That kind of touch from the depths of his memory surged up in Renji’s heart again.
The lifelike monster model seemed to really come alive in Renji’s eyes. Everything around him was no longer the interior of some building but turned into a blood-red, scarred land.
And he himself, wearing that cloak from back then, his whole body shrouded in the shadow of the cloak, countless Contractors under his command, charging into the blood sea of Miasma, fighting fiercely with brutal monsters.
They fought fearlessly, without the slightest hesitation, like burning flames, wanting to illuminate the darkness, willing to burn themselves out for this, to become the last ashes before dawn.
“Buddy? Bro! bro?”
“Hey, hey, hey, Renji!!”
The chubby guy’s shouts made Renji break away from that strange state and finally return to reality.
As for Renji’s distraction just now, the chubby guy also understood, making up his own mind that he was shocked by the realism of “Fallen Chronicles II” in various settings and details.
Indeed, the reason why the mobile game “Fallen Chronicles II” could become popular was not that the gameplay was very novel like. The bigger factor was its apocalyptic background setting, and the production team’s game design, which simply made players feel like it was another immersive real world.
But “Fallen Chronicles II” was not perfect either. For a long time before, its level design was always criticized by players for being unoriginal, having poor playability, low creativity, not matching the exquisite art and setting text, and so on.
Until…
“If you ask me bro, you really came at the right time.”
“Although ‘Fallen Chronicles II’ was popular before, it wasn’t to the extent of today. It barely squeezed into the first tier of mobile games. But it was about, uh, three or four months ago? ‘Fallen Chronicles II’ changed its previous designer.”
“Changed designers?”
“Yeah, you don’t know. The reason ‘Fallen Chronicles II’ couldn’t take off before was inseparable from the levels designed by that designer, which were like a defense. The combat experience was like dog shit. It was the kind where, after playing a few rounds, you figured out the routine and could pass it with your eyes closed!”
