Chapter 409: Ending Interview and Preparing for Breakthrough
“Mr. Ji, I’m Wenger!
“I’m planning to shoot a serial movie about the Land of Inheritance so that everybody on Earth can know everything that happens there...”
The second interviewee was a middle-aged white man in glasses who spoke a foreign language.
“Wow, it’s Director Wenger!”
“All his movies have been well-received!”
“Director Wenger is going to shoot movies based on Dragon City? If he does receive an invitation, he’d be able to show us what Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun really look like in Dragon City...”
Unlike the fifteen-year-old young genius, the middle-aged man was recognized by many viewers to be a famous Hollywood director who had produced many blockbusters.
The hundred interviewees weren’t all from Chidragon. About thirty percent of them were foreigners.
After all, even though Dragon City was set in ancient Chidragon, a settlement had infinite possibilities on the Land of Inheritance.
At this moment, Dragon City was developing technologies too.
The reason why a director was being interviewed was that Ji Ye’s streaming with the Mirage Dragon Pearl played a critical role in the advancement test. It changed the whole battle.
To be honest, Ji Ye didn’t think that he was very talented in that aspect, and his streaming had a lot of plotholes.
Those villains might not have been fooled if they weren’t all ancient people who didn’t know much. If he had the guidance of a top professional, he probably could make better use of the Mirage Dragon Pearl.
Or rather, he could put the guy in charge of the Mirage Dragon Pearl so that he could focus on battles.
“My plan is to make preparations in the first half a year and produce the first movie with the characters and events in Dragon City. After that, I’ll make a Land of Inheritance universe...”
The internationally renowned director spoke elaborately in the studio, making his fans all excited.
“Excuse me, but do you speak Chinese?”
However, Ji Ye frowned harder and harder and simply interrupted him.
The director was stunned for a moment and then shook his head.
“Well, sorry, I can’t, for now! However, I’ll learn it. I believe it should be fairly easy to learn it on the Land of Inheritance...”
“Well, please proceed!”
His expression remained the same, but he had already kicked the director out of the list.
Maybe the suggestions of the director in regard to turning the events on Land of Inheritance into movies sounded tempting and could bring tremendous profits to Dragon City, however, the guy clearly didn’t know the preciousness of an invitation to Dragon City.
If they really wanted to promote Dragon City, they could totally create a camera with the Stone of Civilization, shoot a documentary, and then take the tape to Earth at the cost of Rare Honor.
Why would they waste an invitation on that?
On the other hand, Ji Ye was never interested in the Chidragon movies that foreigners shot!
“Next!”
The rest of the hundred interviewees all presented themselves.
Some were CEOs of the top five hundred companies in the world, some were designers of fighter jets in famous weapon companies, and some were tutors from special forces who had killed more than a hundred people on battlefields.
Some were biologists who had won Nobel prizes, some were nuclear weapon experts who were unknown but endorsed by their states, and some were capable movie stars who were also experts in combat.
“They’re so awesome!”
“No wonder my resume didn’t even pass the first round. I’m absolutely worthless compared to them!”
The billion viewers who were watching worldwide knew for the first time that there were people who could actually have such awesome resumes!
They were also more supportive of those people than they were of the magnates who were bidding for the other five invitations.
After all, most of the interviewees had achieved what they had got on their own. People might hate those who were rich, but they always admired those who were capable!
With their resumes, those people were all qualified to be the beta testers, but they almost all missed it because of their age.
“This is the end of Dragon City’s press conference. The names of the candidates we choose will be announced in seven days!”
However, Ji Ye didn’t give an invitation to anyone after all the interviews were over.
In fact, the purpose of the interviews was not to choose anyone but to give those interviewees a chance to be “connected” to him.
He wouldn’t hand out the invitations until the fourth batch of players were announced, and he figured out whom he still needed.
“Let’s proceed!”
However, while the streaming was over, the interviews weren’t.
That was because apart from the hundred top talents from Earth, many players who were already on the Land of Inheritance participated in the interviews too.
“Lin Lei, a beta tester. He’s a famous comics artist on Earth. His talent is to bring the characters he creates to his settlement.”
“Sun Tianyu. He has no talents, but he’s Extraordinary Rank-7 in his settlement and the only Commander among the players.”
“Qin Kai. He’s from a tech settlement. He knows the designs of a dozen Extraordinary new tanks...”
Because the “special invitations” could allow the players to be reborn in Dragon City after death, many players who had died and yet to be resurrected, and those who were still alive but their settlement was about to collapse, were interested in Dragon City’s special invitations too!
Dragon City didn’t reject them.
It was because while those players weren’t as capable or promising as the hundred interviewees earlier, they had much more experience on the Land of Inheritance. In particular, some of them were beta testers who had talent skills. After all, beta testers could keep their talent skills after their first death!
However, Ji Ye didn’t have to interview those players in person at all. He simply threw the task to a core player.
...
“Mr. Ji, the loan application of Dragon City has been approved. There’ll be no interest in five years...
“Also, we hope that you could be listed as one of the staff in a department. Well, it’s a new department exclusively made of players...”
After about three hours of interview, Ji Ye spent about an hour discussing a few matters with Minister Zhang.
The conversation was amicable. Nobody was aggressive at all.
In fact, Minister Zhang knew that it was impossible to give orders to Dragon City!
Apart from everything else, the interviewees who competed for the invitations were a lot more influential in the world than the presidents of many small countries.
It was needless to mention the top magnates who were bidding for the other five invitations.
With those invitations under its control, Dragon City was no longer just a settlement on the Land of Inheritance. It would soon spread its influence beyond.
“If you do need a specialist in nuclear weapons, I hope that you can consider Elder He. Although he’s a hundred years old and not in his best condition, he has abundant experience in weapon studies...”
“Dragon City will consider it!”
After a harmonious conversation with Minister Zhang and finding common ground with him,
Ji Ye contacted his father’s and mother’s brothers via his special line and gave the two invitations for relatives to the children of his parents’ closest siblings!
In fact, ever since his parents accidentally passed away, Ji Ye had rarely been in touch with his relatives.
Also, all his grandparents were gone a long time ago too. He had little communication with his uncles, aunts, or cousins.
“Well... This is too much for us to accept!”
“Hurry, Xiaoyue, thank your cousin right now!”
Heavy breath and exclamations of delight came from the other side of the phone.
Emotions of familial bond arose in Ji Ye’s heart after a long time.
Then, he solemnly told the two families to move to the player base near Yang City as soon as possible.
It was not to prevent his other relatives from making a fuss after they learned about the invitations. He didn’t care about them at all.
He asked the two families to move here because while everything seemed peaceful and quiet in the base, the world outside had a lot of undercurrents going on!
The influence of the Land of Inheritance couldn’t be entirely positive.
In fact, major chaos took place after the third batch of players was announced. A few dozen players were assassinated before they entered the Land of Inheritance only because someone claimed on the Internet that the qualification to go to the Land of Inheritance would go to anyone who killed those players.
It was relatively safe in Chidragon, but considering the importance of the special invitations, Ji Ye would rather take precautions.
After dealing with the last thing, Ji Ye simply chose to return to the Land of Inheritance. Next, he would try his best to advance to the Transcendent level.
