Chapter 1240: Players: I Want All of Them!

After having a huge meal with Ma Yang, Pei Qian arranged the future development direction of Bunny Tail Live-Stream and found a good home for Hu Xianbin. He allowed Tengda Games to retain a good designer like Yu Fei. It was killing three birds with one stone.

After the meal, Ma Yang said that he was prepared to go back and digest it. It was not only to digest the food, but also to digest the work that Brother Qian had arranged for him.

It was obvious that Old Ma was very concerned about this. However, Pei Qian was not worried because whether Ma Yang was concerned about this or not had nothing to do with whether it would succeed.

Pei Qian, on the other hand, slipped a little and prepared to find a nearby Fish-Catching Internet Cafe to have a cup of coffee. He wanted to sit there and digest his food.

It had been nearly two months since the Doubt VR glasses were released.

At first, the Fish-Catching Internet Cafe was fully-booked. Now, its popularity has finally decreased a little.

After all, it had been two months. No matter how high the addiction, it should stop.

Many people had already bought VR glasses. They did not go to the internet cafe every day. Those who came to the internet cafe more frequently basically played here and passed.

Thus, the flow of people in the internet cafe gradually returned to normal. This was especially so for some relatively deserted branches. There were often empty seats left in the coffee area.

However, even so, the traffic in the VR experience area was not much different from the internet area of ordinary computers. The popularity was still not low. He did not know when it would become completely deserted.

He could only blame “Animal Island VR” for being too fun…

Pei Qian sat down at the coffee area and sighed silently.

Forget it. There was no need to be too conflicted since things had come to this.

Pei Qian took out his cell phone after asking for a free cup of coffee. Indeed, Min Jingchao had sent him today’s event data.

Pei Qian placed his cell phone on the table. He held the coffee cup to his mouth with one hand and prepared to drink it. His other hand swiped the screen to check.

“Hm?”

Pei Qian’s right hand had just brought the coffee cup to his mouth when he put it down again.

That was because he noticed that something was amiss with the figures he had received today.

In the first two days, the drop in GOG’s data was relatively obvious. Today’s data might still be decreasing, but the decrease seemed to be less obvious?

Pei Qian picked up his coffee cup again and brought it to his mouth.

“Hmm… I can find a lot of reasonable explanations for such a change in data.”

“For example, gamers who are more sensitive to reward stimulation would most likely play IOI at the beginning of the event. There would be more people participating on the first and second day. The number of new gamers participating in the event would definitely decrease gradually.”

“Another example would be the players who participated in IOI on the first day. They might be a little tired after playing for two days and want to return to GOG to take a look. This might also cause the decline in GOG’s data to slow down.”

“From the third day of the holidays to the sixth day of the holiday, gamers have the most gaming time. They don’t have to go out or visit their friends. Therefore, many gamers who had not played before have also been online or playing GOG with their friends… There are still gamers who are being directed to IOI but the overall trend of the decline in data has slowed down because there are more gamers online…”

“If it was the data from IOI, the increase should be more obvious.”

The coffee was a little hot. Pei Qian held the coffee cup and quickly thought of many possible explanations.

However, he immediately put down his coffee cup.

“Something’s not right. I can’t think that way!”

“All of these might make sense, but what if the real reason is not this? Wasn’t I blinded by myself again?”

“We have to take it seriously. We have to analyze and investigate seriously if there are problems with the preset activities!”

“It would be best if you were overthinking. However, if something really went wrong, you would know immediately!”

At that thought, Pei Qian immediately picked up his cell phone and began scrolling through various game forums, checking the discussions of gamers, especially IOI gamers.

After all, Pei Qian was actually on IOI’s side.

It did not matter how GOG was doing. As long as there was no problem with IOI, everything would be fine!

“The matchmaking over the past two days has indeed been much faster, but… what happened to the many newbies joining? My head is almost smashed!”

“I can’t play at all in the rankings. This ranking competition is completely based on looks. Which side’s big brother kills faster… What’s going on? It’s not the end of the season. Why are there so many trainers?”

“I have nothing to do. I’m an old IOI beta gamer and a current GOG King gamer. I’ll start from zero for the live-stream. I’ll go wherever I go until the event ends. You’re welcome to watch!”

“I feel that the players on IOI are doing alright, but their awareness is a little bad. The support is obviously half a beat slower. Why do they like to farm? It’s not obvious if they play solo. If they have good friends and partners, it’s very simple to get points.”

At that point, Pei Qian could not help but tremble.

Good lord, the gamers of GOG seemed to be up to no good!

In fact, this was completely foreseeable. After all, IOI required the game to be long. They could not run away after receiving a reward. Many GOG players were tired of playing matchmaking. They would always consider ranking.

In the end, something went wrong.

GOG and IOI’s game mechanisms might be slightly different, but after many modifications, the complicated mechanisms of IOI and GOG were much simplified. Many GOG players could adapt quickly.

What’s more, many old GOG gamers had played IOI before. However, they had stopped playing midway.

How could it not be chaotic with so many high ranking GOG players all participating in IOI’s regular competition and competing with the original IOI players?

Many rookie players had no choice at all. They could only watch which side had more big shots. There would even be situations where immortals on both sides would fight. Both sides had one or two big brothers who were developing very well. The others could only watch on trembling by the side as ATMs. It was really boring.

Many IOI players were looking forward to seeing a large number of new players and improving the game environment. They did not appear at all.

That was because this event was not attractive to GOG’s new gamers at all!

Even though all gamers could participate in the event, only hardcore gamers who had played the game for a long time would be willing to spend time and energy pursuing the rewards.

For many new gamers and slackers, it was good enough to play two rounds of GOG with their friends on holiday. Happiness was the most important. They were too lazy to struggle.

This caused most of the people who came to IOI to be core gamers of GOG.

It was not that there were no new players, but there were relatively few of them.

On the other hand, GOG’s overall faster pace and more intense competitive atmosphere allowed GOG players to have a sharper game sense and a more bloody game rhythm. It turned IOI’s low-quality fish pond upside down, causing many IOI’s low-quality players to start doubting life.

Pei Qian was helpless. Who would have thought that GOG’s gamers would be so strong?

Logically speaking, there had to be an adaptation period for a new game, right? It should be about the same level as the original fish pond players in the game within the adaptation period.

However, from the looks of it now, that was not the case at all!

“Calm down, calm down.

“This shouldn’t be a big problem. After all, IOI’s ranking system is similar to GOG’s. If players like that wreak havoc in the fish pond, their hidden points would definitely increase very quickly. Soon, they would be matched to diamond or even higher enemies. The environment of the entire fish pond would slowly recover.”

Pei Qian comforted himself and continued watching.

“IOI is quite generous this time. It’s so generous that I feel like it’s a little fake.”

“It must be because he’s holding an event with GOG. I’m sorry if I’m not generous, right? After all, they’ve given so many rewards. If IOI doesn’t show anything, wouldn’t the comparison be obvious?”

“However, no matter how I calculate, we are still lacking a reward! Isn’t the reward for going to GOG too trashy?”

“Didn’t I use other activities to make up for it?”

“Long Yu Corporation is so scheming. Would Tengda really not sue them? Others worked hard to do activities, give rewards, and direct players to you. In the end, you gave such trashy rewards. Obviously, you don’t want your own players to go over.”

“It’s just business. There’s nothing to criticize. I can only blame Tengda for being too honest.”

“That’s not right. I think the other activities are other activities. The combined event is a combined event. How can we replace the reward? We should want all of them!”

“I found a good idea! Actually, everyone can do this: register an account for GOG first. Play it casually and find the event page. Then, link it to your own IOI account. That way, the system will deem you as an old gamer who lost IOI to GOG. The big account for IOI will be able to obtain generous rewards!”

“Holy sh * t? That’s true! You’re really a genius!”

Pei Qian had been about to drink his coffee when he saw the post.

What the f*ck?!

He quickly opened the post and studied it carefully.

After reading a few replies, Pei Qian understood.

There was a very troublesome loophole in this rule!

Of course, Dayak Corporation and Long Yu Corporation had also been on guard against this special situation of “eating both ends repeatedly” when writing detailed rules. How players could obtain rewards depended on which game they entered from.

For example, if he tied an IOI account to GOG, he would be regarded as a GOG player. Whether the IOI account was a new or old account, he would be rewarded according to the rules of “GOG transferring to IOI”.

That was so that GOG players would have enough reason to stay after transferring to IOI.

It was the same logic for gamers to be bound to GOG accounts in IOI. They would be rewarded according to the rules of “IOI to GOG”. As Dayak Corporation and Long Yu Corporation did not want IOI players to run around at all, the reward was very low.

However, what replaced it was that they had created generous rewards in other activities to eliminate the imbalance that IOI players might feel.

He had thought that there would be no problem with such rules. However, he did not expect the gamers’ attitude to be ‘I want everything’.
