Chapter 1238: Bunny Tail Live-Stream’s Current Situation

Min Jingchao watched the event for a while more to ensure that there were no major problems or bugs. He also looked at the players’ general feedback.

When everything was done, it was about time to get off work and go home to enjoy the holiday.

Before leaving, Min Jingchao looked at GOG’s figures.

As expected, the number of online users and other figures had decreased.

This was expected. After all, the purpose of this event was to lure gamers to IOI by all means. The event reward was so good. It would be strange if gamers did not go.

Considering the computer’s performance, most gamers would definitely not choose to open both. They would play IOI. GOG would naturally go offline.

Min Jingchao knew that this was normal but he was still a little worried.

After all, as a game designer, he was already very used to checking the current situation of the game through the data. Many times, he was even more reliant on the data’s performance than on players’ feedback.

After all, players’ opinions could only represent individuals, but data could represent a group of people.

While the figures could also be lying or appear very one-sided, the figures were definitely a necessary factor for the designer to understand the game’s situation.

Now that the figures had slipped, Min Jingchao still felt worried even though he knew that this was an inevitable result of the event.

He was in a rather conflicted mood. Since he already knew that this was an event that Boss Pei had decided on, he naturally hoped that it would be as popular as possible. However, he would instinctively worry when he saw that the more popular it was, the less online gamers GOG would have.

“Forget it, let’s not think about this for now.”

“Boss Pei looks very confident. He must have a backup plan for this event. Don’t worry too much.”

“Enjoy your holiday first. If you discover any problems, ask Boss Pei for instructions.”

After some consideration, Min Jingchao decided not to look at the figures anymore. Instead, he switched off his computer and got off work.

October 2nd, Tuesday…

Pei Qian woke up naturally again. He laid on his bed very comfortably and played with his cell phone.

This kind of mentality was quite strange. He did not go to the office usually and would sleep until a certain point. However, no matter how he slept, he could not sleep as well as this long holiday.

Perhaps it was because he would always see his employees working hard on their work days, so that he could not rest well.

It was just like a primary school student pretending to be sick and not going to class. He might be staying at home but he still felt very flustered at the thought that the other children were learning in class.

He would only be able to completely relax mentally during holidays when there was no burden.

“The number of people online seems to be gradually decreasing from yesterday’s summary. That’s a good thing.”

“It looks like this event has achieved a good effect.”

“I wonder what today’s figures will be like. I’ll know in a while.”

Before the holiday, Pei Qian had instructed Min Jingchao to pay attention to the ‘Gods’ Fantasy’ activity. He had also asked him to triple his salary based on overtime.

Min Jingchao was also very responsible. Every morning, he would tidy up the data from the day before, make it into a few lines of summary, and send it to Pei Qian.

On the 30th, 1st, and 2th, more than two days had passed since the event started. Based on the data from the past two days, GOG’s online users had been increasing, but on the whole, they were decreasing.

It was a national holiday. There should be more people playing games.

Therefore, the results were very clear. These players must have been directed to IOI by the event!

Pei Qian could not see IOI’s figures, but he guessed that it would be quite good.

Of course, Pei Qian only saw the domestic server’s data at the moment. The data of the servers in the other regions of the world also needed the local operator to send it over after helping to tabulate the data. This was more troublesome and required someone from the company to do the docking. It was a holiday now so there was no need to struggle.

However, he should be able to roughly infer the situation of the other regions from the data of the local server.

That was because the local server was hell for IOI. It was the biggest gap from GOG and the most difficult to poach players.

If this event could achieve such good results in the local server, the effect should be better in other areas.

Pei Qian looked at the time. It was almost 11 PM. Min Jingchao sorted out the data of GOG in the morning and sent it over usually after 12 AM.

He was in no hurry. The figures were there anyway. He would not run away.

He had arranged to meet Ma Yang for a meal today. It was about time to get moving.

Fifteen minutes later, Pei Qian and Ma Yang arrived at a relatively high-end buffet restaurant near the school to eat barbecue.

As for why he chose this place… there were two main reasons.

Firstly, he had eaten too many good things. Sometimes, he had to eat simple and crude roasted meat. It might not be healthy or exquisite, but it could improve his happiness.

It was just like how many people would not reject fast food even if they ate at many so-called high-end restaurants.

The second was to reminisce about the past.

Pei Qian could not help but recall that he had pulled Old Ma to be Tengda Games’ first employee. After Ghost General unfortunately became popular, he had fulfilled his promise and brought Old Ma to eat a buffet that cost more than 30 yuan near school.

Unknowingly, he was about to graduate.

As the new term started, Pei Qian and Ma Yang officially entered their final year of university.

In year four, the entire school felt different.

On one hand, he felt that he was already the oldest group of people in the school (the postgraduate students were not included in the consideration). He was indifferent to various student activities. For some reason, he felt that things had changed. He had completely lost the fresh feeling that he had when he first entered the university.

On the other hand, it was also because there were fewer classes. They would not be taking attendance in class. Students would be guaranteed post-graduate studies, examinations, jobs… Many students might not see each other more than a few times in an entire year. Basically, they would not have any social activities. The sense of impending farewell was even stronger.

In autumn, the autumn breeze was bleak and the fallen leaves fell. The more time passed, the more emotional he felt.

Under such circumstances, Old Ma could actually persevere to attend class without missing a single lesson. Pei Qian was really impressed.

That was especially so considering that Old Ma was now a ‘successful person’, a true ‘Boss Ma’. He could still persevere to attend classes. That was indeed admirable.

Ma Yang’s long face was filled with smiles as he happily stuffed all sorts of roasted meat into his mouth.

Sometimes, Pei Qian was particularly envious of Ma Yang. Everything he ate smelled delicious. What’s more, even after eating so much, he did not feel like his weight had changed at all.

Perhaps it had grown on the length of his face.

“Brother Qian, I recall the time when you first invited me to join Tengda. We went out for a meal very extravagantly and added an egg and a portion of meat for the egg fried rice. We talked about the way Ghost General made its cards.”

“At that time, I was still suspicious of you. I was afraid that you would lose all the fifty thousand yuan that your family gave you.”

“In the blink of an eye, three years have passed. Tengda has developed so well unknowingly. I knew that I was not wrong about you back then! You were not wrong about me back then either!”

Pei Qian was a little melancholic. “Em…”

If he had not given Old Ma the task of writing cards, or had accepted his suggestion to ‘turn all the generals into women’ at dinner, would Ruan Guangjian not have been able to produce original art like Ghost General, which was highly acclaimed?

Would the situation change?

Perhaps I have long lost money and financial freedom!

Forget it, forget it. It was already like this. There was no point in thinking about all that.

What’s more, on the bright side, the current situation was not that bad. There was food, drinks, and fun. Life was quite blissful.

It was nothing much apart from being stabbed in the back frequently.

Pei Qian ate as he asked, “How’s the situation at Bunny Tail Live-Stream?”

Ma Yang said confidently, “Don’t worry, Brother Qian. The situation is very good! I don’t even think I’m needed anymore.”

“Does the company have other more important projects? Or more challenging missions? Don’t worry, leave it to me!”

Pei Qian was relieved to see that Old Ma was still so confident after three years.

It had been three years, but no one had managed to plant a B-tree in Old Ma’s heart!

In fact, Pei Qian had been observing the situation of Bunny Tail Live-Stream through the report from Chen Yufeng.

He asked Ma Yang this question purely to test if he had this B-tree in his heart.

Now that he had tested it out, he really did not.

Ma Yang had been watching Bunny Tail’s live-stream for several months. The results were obvious: Bunny Tail’s live-stream results had not changed at all. At most, they had increased slightly and were as stable as old dogs.

He could only say that as expected of his trusted brother.

Initially, Bunny Tail’s live-stream was showing signs of becoming popular. Pei Qian took decisive measures and forcefully added learning time to Bunny Tail’s live-stream, causing a large number of users to disappear.

In the end, even though Chen Yufeng had also organized some activities, such as the ‘BP verification competition’, attracting some viewers again, he still exited the battlefield with the most intense battles on several live-stream platforms. As a second-tier and niche platform, he gradually stabilized.

Now, the initial intense battle between live-stream platforms had gradually come to an end.

The tragic money-burning war had already entered the latter half of the process. Some platforms went bankrupt, some platforms reorganized, and some platforms even disappeared silently.

Originally, there were so many live-stream platforms fighting each other. Now, the situation was gradually becoming clearer. Only Waiwai Live-stream and Wolf Fang Live-stream were growing stronger. The other platforms were obviously declining.

The better ones could barely maintain their appearance and struggle at death’s door; the worse ones could disappear silently in the long river of time.

After all, these platforms were burning too much money. The faster the money burned, the easier it would be for the platform to collapse.

Of course, the benefits of persevering were also the greatest.

The number of users on the platform had also reached new heights with the live-stream platform’s money-burning war. The host’s sky-high signing fee had also shocked people time and time again.

On the other hand, Bunny Tail Live-Stream was an anomaly on these platforms. They did not poach live streamers from other platforms. Other platforms were also too lazy to poach live streamers from Bunny Tail. They maintained a very stable ecology.
