Volume 1, Chapter 51: What Is Free Is the Most Expensive

"Do you guys think this is fun?" Wang Chao looked at the awkward-looking drawing by Ye Lin, feeling a bit doubtful.
"Boss Wang, judging by current mobile games, this game's design is very creative. It should be able to go viral."
"Mhm."
Seeing that the professional marketing staff approved, Wang Chao nodded and turned to Ye Lin, "How much should we charge for this game?"
"Free."
"What?" Wang Chao was shocked, "If it's free, how do I make money? Am I running a charity?"
The others also looked at Ye Lin with puzzled expressions.
Ye Lin shook his head; this parallel world was still stuck in the ancient era of how games make money, only thinking about designing games and selling cards...
Lu Han regretted it; had she known there would be a bow-drawing mission today, she would have learned [Mastery of the Longbow] at the base last night.
Suddenly, she felt that being so well cared for and protected by a man was truly blissful. She wanted to hold onto it forever.
"Tsk, boring. Go to sleep, go to sleep, we still have to practice tomorrow..." Rose said, rolling over and pulling the quilt over herself to signal that she didn't want to continue the discussion.
Her voice had also changed into a deliberate, affected tone, which Lu Han found very hard to get used to. But there was nothing she could do; this was something she couldn't control for the time being.
Because not only did all of Longya's attack power fail to harm him in the least, but it was also entirely absorbed by him.
Unexpectedly, after a few years apart, he had actually attained the qualifications of a general. Yang Pu suddenly wanted to improve his strength further, realizing he still fell far short.
However, his parents were suddenly murdered, the company's wealth was seized, and he lost his first chance to take the national college entrance examination.
Especially seeing Tian Bu'er still acting so smug, Wang Hao didn't know how to process his feelings.
After resting for a while, everyone began heading to the cafeteria. As soon as Zhuo Yunlan arrived at the cafeteria, she first asked the chefs if they had scales and a ruler, as she wanted to properly weigh and measure her sword.
Furthermore, Director Fang had mentioned the paging project long ago; it was the company's most important matter second only to the 04 machine, only it had never been launched until now.
To make matters even more fucked up, Zhou Tian's phone was out of battery, and he couldn't even make an emergency call. With a fierce bite of his teeth and a stamp of his foot, he simply came to a halt.

"All is illusion; it all depends on one's original mindset..." If sitting cross-legged in the shadow, he said faintly.
In the center of that vacuum zone, two figures still maintained the posture of exchanging heavy punches, their frozen bodies looking just like statues.
It also allowed Tang Fei to experience a fraction of why Aunt Qiuwen had once fallen for such an unremarkable old man as Eunuch Chang Huaquan.
The other imperial concubines always felt a sense of unease inside, wondering if they had bits of vegetable leaves stuck in their teeth.
Because Princess Chang'an was grounded, Consort Liu and Talent Liu, despite being favored, could not monopolize the Emperor's entire mind and soul.
Who would have thought that after marrying Lu Bai, the cousin remained childless for years, yet Lu Bai, out of deep affection and devotion to his cousin, stubbornly refused to take a concubine.
Lu Ruisheng snorted and said, "If you won't give us the house, then you have to give us money!" This was what she and Chen Dajun had agreed upon at home. If they truly couldn't get the house back, they had to demand some money. Neither of them had jobs, and they lived day-to-day on the mother-in-law's meager retirement pension.
Because Wu Fan's Soul of Desire could absorb and transform starry fire, even the blue roses on the giant blue tree cast a heavy look at Wu Fan's Soul of Desire.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Chen Tianhao and A-Biao rushed frantically to the casino, only to collide with Zeng Qingkang right at the entrance.
Had Yu Miaomiao not disliked Sifeichen, she wouldn't even have had the chance to be with him.
Then, his fists were like two heavy hammers, wrapped in gravity and filled with magma. Unceremoniously crushing the air, they smashed down fiercely.
It could be said that under these circumstances, Bibi Dong had also unleashed her full strength, attacking without neglecting her defense by even half.
Yun Feiyang sighed incessantly and said, "It seems Yun will never see such wonderful dancing again. If you people, you people, still cannot dance decently a month from now, don't blame Yun for being ruthless." Yun Feiyang struck a precious jade platform, and its surface instantly shattered.
"Good," Ye Tian nodded gently, then pulled a large bag of spiritual stones he had prepared beforehand from his sleeve and handed it directly to the man in black in front of him.
When Wang Lefu learned that Wang Shuo had not only been forced to eat shit by a major general in Shangjing City but was also locked up in the Bureau of Investigation, he was absolutely furious.
However, they forgot that without sufficient strength, heavy equipment like this wasn't something just anyone could wear. If one forced themselves to wear such heavy gear, the only result would be exhausting oneself to the point of collapse, and once stamina was gone, how could one fight monsters?
Moreover, considering it from Gu Sanqiu's perspective, if he knew he was about to face an opponent on a winning streak, he would never choose to start a fight without stacking every possible buff on himself.
Mo Shenshen dodged to the side, but her arm still took a brush. The old man's grip strength was getting heavier and heavier.
Then, a colorful phoenix carrying a rainbow appeared from the starry sky, and the entire sports stadium lit up brilliantly.

Yet he himself had already controlled Gragas, and after clearing his own red buff, he headed straight for the middle lane.
Dragging their bruised and battered bodies, several people got into the car. Previously, they would have exchanged a few casual words in the car. This time, they fell into complete silence; once something undergoes a chemical change, it can never return to the way it was before.
He hadn't said he didn't trust Xie Yuan's Yasuo, only suggesting that they could give him a top-lane champion, while Mingkai played jungle with Gragas as usual.
Hearing this, Yu Miao pulled her body back in, grabbed a seatbelt beside her and fastened it around herself, while her other hand tightly protected Lin Shu.
Kole was just an isolated case; one could glimpse the whole leopard by seeing a single spot, and realize just how many bastardly things the Doctor had done back then.
Many people in the livestream room scoffed. This was by no means a chorus of a hundred birds; it was clearly just a cuckoo calling.
"Don't you want to visit a domain that belongs halfway to you?" Mephisto retained him, still wanting to hear Bai Yang say more.
The Alésia Elf Academy adopted a credit system; students could freely choose the classes they liked as long as they met the necessary conditions.
Although this power could indeed enhance his strength, he always felt a strange sense of incongruity.
Murong Junran allowed his fourth younger brother to interrogate him. If there was anyone else in the capital who could speak so recklessly, apart from him, there truly was no one else.
As the master and two servants stepped out of the inn, an endless stream of discussion followed behind them, and the entire inn became bustling and lively.
Helan Lengchun perceived Lengyue's impatience, feeling somewhat wronged, and the tone of her speech involuntarily turned a few degrees colder.
Staring with wide eyes at Lingyan not far away, she now felt that the benevolent face she had previously been familiar with was so unfamiliar and cold.
"Since when has my younger sister become so well-versed in the ways of hospitality?" Feng Qiye pulled Lengyue's hand, and the next moment he looked at Feng Ling'er with a warm smile. But shrewd as he was, he naturally saw through Feng Ling'er's surprising move.
Although Mei Ziyan's black pieces were surrounded by Jiang Lingcheng's white pieces, she created multiple interlocking captures within his encirclement—as many as fifteen moves. Jiang Lingcheng was caught by her breaking through the center and making her pieces live right where they stood. Once the black pieces lived, the white formation collapsed, and no matter how Jiang Lingcheng played thereafter, the only outcome was resigning.
