From gaming to becoming the richest man, it all started with his counterattack against XunTeng.

Chapter 41 You dare to intercept Tencent's nonsense?

Carter has been a transgender model for a long time, constantly traveling around taking on odd jobs, but her career has never really taken off and she has never been able to make a name for herself.

He is currently in a huge predicament. It is widely acknowledged in the industry that if he does not complete the BX surgery before the age of thirty, he will never have the chance to fulfill his dream again.

However, he was penniless and had no savings. In order to maintain his figure and physical characteristics, he had to take various medications for a long time. His daily expenses were overwhelming, and he could barely make ends meet.

Three months ago, when he was desperate, he even considered whether to go into business to make some quick money to save up for the surgery.

Just when he was filled with despair, the news that Beehive Technology was recruiting foreign game cosplayers gave him renewed hope.

Such short-term jobs at exhibitions are rarely taken on by people in the industry, simply because they are too easily associated with a role, limiting future career prospects in the performing arts.

But what Carter urgently needs right now is cash income. This job is well-paid and easy. In addition, the popularity of the game "Hive" remains high. Once he gains popularity through the character, many players will send him money, and all his difficulties will be solved.

He knew that the atmosphere in Asia was conservative and that it would be difficult for people to accept his true situation. However, he was very confident in his physique and temperament, which were highly compatible with Black Lily. So he deliberately concealed his true identity and situation and submitted his application materials.

As expected, everything went much more smoothly than anticipated. His appearance perfectly matched the character's spirit, and within just twenty minutes of his appearance on stage, his popularity soared, instantly drawing everyone's attention. He even gained the appreciation of the company's boss. Unfortunately, his joy was short-lived, as his misdeeds were exposed.

He thought he had completely messed things up and could only pack his bags and leave dejectedly, his future once again shrouded in gloom.

However, the bee colony seemed unwilling to escalate the situation and did not pursue his breach of contract. They simply agreed to a unified story and signed a confidentiality agreement.

This left a lot of room for maneuver, so Carter spent a lot of his own money overnight to personally replicate and create a set of black and white cosplay costumes.

He deliberately chose a corner of the exhibition area away from the bee colony booth to show off and promote himself, hoping to leverage his previously accumulated popularity to gain further exposure.

Black Lily's immense popularity quickly garnered him a large following, with tourists flocking to him for his contact information. Many wealthy enthusiasts offered him generous rewards, with a single offer almost equivalent to six months' worth of his income.

Carter has plenty of time and can afford to wait. He knows that the greater his fame, the higher his net worth. By the time Gamescom ends, he might be able to earn back the money for the surgery in one go.

Biting my lip and leaning against the wall, even the pain is better than going to work!

Just as he was full of anticipation for the future, a group of Asian faces dressed in formal attire pushed through the crowd and walked quickly. The leader handed him a business card with a smile – Ji Feng, General Manager of J1 Studio of Xunteng Company.

The moment he recognized the identity, Carter's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed. This unexpected opportunity was a wonderful surprise.

------

Ji Feng was very interested in the incredibly lifelike Black Lily cosplayer in front of him. He had to admit that Yang Yi really knew how to design female characters; Black Lily's cold and alluring charm was simply striking his heart.

The cosplayer's portrayal of Black Widow was not only incredibly accurate, but it also gave him a sense of conquest. It was absolutely amazing!

As long as both parties can reach an agreement, I might be able to get my hands on her. I must make sure she wears this outfit then.

But he quickly put aside his distractions. The most important thing right now was to finalize the contract as soon as possible, and he couldn't wait for the other side to realize what was happening and steal the deal.

After all, once Beehive, which owns the Black Lily IP, makes its move, XunTeng won't even have the capital to compete.

He immediately adopted a gentlemanly demeanor, calmly handing over his business card in a gentle and polite tone.

"Hello, beautiful lady."

"We really admire your appearance and temperament. Would you be willing to come to the XunTeng booth to discuss cooperation?"

As expected, XunTeng's prestigious brand remains invincible in the gaming industry.

Ji Feng clearly saw that when Miss "Black Lily" saw the identity and company name on the business card, she couldn't hide the joy on her face. Her eyes instantly sparkled with surprise and delight.

Take it!

With the cooperation seemingly on the verge of being finalized, Ji Feng was already confident of victory.

"Wait a moment!"

Just as he was feeling smug, a shout suddenly rang out from the side.

Ji Feng's heart tightened, and he subconsciously thought that the swarm of bees had noticed the commotion and came to stop Hu.

As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man in a smart shirt strode forward, went straight to Carter, and handed him his business card with a very sincere attitude.

"Our pig farm also greatly admires your appearance, temperament, and unique charm. Our manager will be there immediately and may be able to offer you more favorable cooperation terms. You might want to consider it further."

Carter's eyes lit up even more; there was more to come!

Seeing that Ms. Black Lily seemed somewhat interested, Ji Feng's face darkened.

Your pig farm doesn't even deserve to steal our Xunteng products. You can't beat the bee colony, but you can beat us?

You little rascal!!!

Although I'm not afraid, the disruption caused by the pig farm means I'm destined to spend a lot more money.

Since it will cost a lot more money, we should make use of the pig farm. Why not just have people sign the papers in front of the tourists?

Let the pig farm become a mere backdrop, thus establishing my supreme reputation as the savior.

Having made up his mind, Ji Feng was no longer in a hurry. Instead, he became more mindful of his image, worried that if he couldn't produce a masterpiece, it would be difficult to promote the product.

A full ten minutes later, Sun Shan from Guangyao Studio rushed to the scene.

He steadied himself and calmed his mind. He first glared at Ji Feng, then turned to Carter with a friendly expression and offered generous terms.

"Hello, your appearance and temperament are a perfect match for our game's art style. We are willing to offer 60,000 euros to hire you as our game's brand ambassador during Gamescom."

Ji Feng was a little confused by his hostile gaze. The other party had come to intercept Xun Teng's Hu, so why did it seem like he was the aggrieved party?

He immediately scoffed and retorted, "Is this all the sincerity a prestigious pig farm has? They dare to try and steal the deal with a mere offer of 60,000 euros?"

"If this gets out, it will become a laughing stock in the industry. We at XunTeng will offer 80,000 euros!"

Ji Feng's move to raise the price immediately made Sun Shan frown.

In his view, the price of 60,000 euros was already quite reasonable, but judging from the other party's attitude, it was clear that they were determined to fight to the bitter end.

Damn XunTeng, they're driving up prices!

Although the pig farm has a large financial foundation, the market prospects of its own "Terrorist Hunt" are already clear, and it is destined to have little success. It is not worthwhile to spend a lot of money to promote a game that is likely to fail.

Even if he wanted to take this opportunity to make amends, he dared not throw money into the bottomless pit without restraint, as it was really difficult to find the right balance.

But now that things have come to this, he is still unwilling to admit defeat and is determined to grit his teeth and struggle one more time.

"One hundred thousand euros is the bottom line for the pig farm. We can be more lenient in the contract terms to avoid affecting your future commercial value. We hope you will seriously consider it."

Upon hearing this, Carter hesitated for a moment. Although Xun Teng would probably make another offer, it shouldn't be by much.

He was more concerned about a lenient contract, since no one knew his true situation at the moment. Even if Xun Teng offered a high price, it would be all just a mirage once it was exposed.

Just as Carter was about to agree, XunTeng also gave his offer:

"For 110,000 euros, we can relax the contract terms without affecting your future business value."

Carter made a decision instantly and walked towards Ji Feng.

Wow! You're such a charming man!!!
