Chapter 38 - Director Li’s Worries

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

With no other choice, Director Li opened the Jumping the Line of Fire thread forum that he had never seen before. After flipping through it, Director Li found out that there was an event in the game today. The servers were now full. Not only was he unable to log in, but many people were also experiencing the same thing.

The game officials said that they were already speeding up the expansion. It was estimated that they would be able to successfully log in at 9 pm.

“9 pm, huh? Then I’ll wait for you until 9 pm.”

Director Li closed the forum and did not try to log in again. He stood up from the computer and went to the living room of the villa. He sat on the spacious mahogany sofa and relaxed. He looked at the dark night scene outside the window and felt a little lost.

Recently, his father had asked him to go out frequently to do things. It was also to train him to carry the company’s banner. This made him somewhat resistant. For him, it was not that he wanted to have more fun. It was that he was not very interested in his father’s matters.

The so-called ‘matters’ were either eating or drinking with important clients. Many times, it required so much drinking that he felt like vomitting.

Wang Dalong might only know how many coal mines his father had, but Director Li’s family was far more prosperous than Wang Dalong had imagined. If he wanted to, he could eat with different people every single day of the year, but this was not the life he wanted.

If you asked Director Li to explain what he wanted, he could not say it.

Under such circumstances, the games he played every night after he came back became Director Li’s spiritual companion.

In fact, this situation would not last long. Recently, his father had told him to go home early in the evening. After a while, he would start to get in touch with things on a deeper level. It was already impossible for Director Li to play games at eight o’clock in the evening. Staying up all night would become his norm.

Thinking of his future life, Director Li really wished that his family was not so rich. It would be great if they only had a little money.

He would also be able to have some freedom.

Moreover, if his father had worked hard and had a few more children, he would not have been so tired. However, he was the only child in his family, so everything fell on him. Fortunately, his father was still young, so he still had time to get used to it.

Speaking of his father, a few years ago, Director Li suspected that his father had an illegitimate child outside, so he specially sent people to investigate. In the end, his father scolded him that night.

The facts proved that he was really his father’s only son.

He had been strictly controlled by his father since he was young. He had sent people to follow him in the dark, so he had no chance to develop bad habits. His biggest hobby was playing games and spending some money on games. Ever since he was young, Director Li had probably spent more than ten million on games.

To him, the godly weapon in Jumping the Line of Fire was a drizzle. Back then, in order to play a game called contending for hegemony, he had given everyone in the guild a bonus.

However, that matter was a long time ago.

Speaking of which, his father had given him plenty of money to play games. Recently, he had not been able to spend so much money in Jumping the Line of Fire. His hands were starting to itch, and he was ready to spend money.

“Young Master, please have some tea.”

The servant of his house saw him sitting in the living room and brought him a cup of black tea.

Holding the cup of black tea, Director Li slowly began to taste it. It was not easy to do business. He had to know a little about everything. He also had some contact with the tea ceremony, and recently, he had started to learn it slowly.

Unlike drinking wine, drinking tea slowly showed one’s self-cultivation, while drinking wine quickly showed one’s openness and magnanimity.

Director Li had recently learned a lot.

After drinking his tea, he raised his watch and looked at it. It was almost nine o’clock. Director Li returned to the computer.

He logged in at this moment and succeeded in one go.

However, after entering the server, all the channels were still full. After squeezing in one with great difficulty, Wang Dalong’s message was quickly sent over.

“Brother Li, Brother Li, are you there?”

In the internet cafe, Wang Dalong was waiting for a long time, and it was torturous. Director Li did not say that he would not play today, so he had to wait. Looking at the people next to him playing the game, he waited for a whole hour, and finally, Director Li came online.

Seeing that Director Li came online, he quickly sent a message, and Director Li’s reply came very quickly.

“It’s still the same. You practice with me first.”

“Okay, Brother Li. Brother Li, I have a software recommendation for you. After you download it, the two of US can communicate in real-time in the game. It’s called UU. Brother Li, do you want to take a look?”

“Okay, wait a moment.”

Seeing Wang Dalong’s message, Director Li switched out and started searching for UU.

He had seen uu on the game’s homepage just now, but he did not take it seriously. Now that he heard Wang Dalong say it, he decided to try downloading it.

Recently, he had been very happy with Wang Dalong. Wang Dalong, whether it was a game or a person, made Director Li feel that he was a good guy. Some time ago, he had even found Wang Dalong a job in his company.

After downloading the UU, Director Li registered and logged in. Wang Dalong had already sent his UU number to Director Li and added him as a friend.

“Hello, hello, Brother Li, can you hear me?” Wang Dalong’s voice came from the speakers.

Unlike Wang Dalong who used headphones in the internet cafe, Director Li used a high-quality stereo when he played at home. When he heard Wang Dalong’s voice, Director Li turned the microphone over from the side.

“Yes, I can hear you. It’s me.”

“Brother Li, I’ve been missing you so much recently.” Wang Dalong’s aggrieved voice came through, and Director Li laughed when he heard it.

“What, have you become addicted to being abused by me recently? Did you miss me so much after being published a little late today?”

“Brother Li, who asked you to be so skilled? I’ve been practicing the spear for a month, but I still can’t catch up with you. Haven’t I always wanted to chase after brother Li? Brother Li, shall we do the same thing today?”

“The same. Get a room. I haven’t heard your voice for a while, I almost could not recognize it.”

“Me too. You sound like you matured a lot, Brother Li.”

“Is that so?”

Director Li was a little happy. Recently, someone had praised him for being mature, but he had always thought that it was just polite words. However, from Wang Dalong’s mouth, Director Li felt that it was not just polite, but sincere.

After getting a room, Director Li started to practice with Wang Dalong excitedly.

Director Li’s skills were not bad, to begin with. In addition to Wang Dalong, who was an invisible expert, he had a 90% chance of winning the game.

Today was a little better. Everyone had hero weapons. If it was before, every time Director Li finished one round, his backpack was full of hero weapons, which attracted a large number of players to add him as a friend.

When he was in the mood, it was already one o’clock at night. After finishing another round, Director Li seemed to have thought of something.

“Wang Dalong, I have an idea. Let’s see if you are willing to do it.”

“Brother Li, go ahead.” With the UU voice today, Wang Dalong could not only give Director Li a precise report every time but also improve his game score by a lot.

Wang Dalong was somewhat satisfied with himself..
