Northern Myanmar: These players are acting strangely!

Chapter 20: How many copies have been sold in one hour?
The others nodded.

The oppressive atmosphere in the office eased slightly.

Zhao Kai's expression softened somewhat.

"good."

"Let's do it this way, everyone get moving."

His gaze swept over each of his subordinates.

"Let's all take action."

"Technical team, keep an eye on Seal Studios' website 24/7. I need to be the first to know about any updates, patches, or announcements."

"Notify the marketing department to contact all the game media and top streamers we can reach and prepare press releases."

"If any problems arise with their game, whether it's a bug or public opinion, immediately set it on fire!"

"And you,"

He pointed to the employee who had spoken first:

“Select two people to form an analysis team for the ‘Bloody Golden Triangle’ project.”

"I want you to dissect this game for me, break it down completely, analyze it thoroughly, from the core gameplay to the numerical model, and even the art style—not a single detail can be overlooked!"

A barrage of instructions was issued, and the entire department sprang into action like a war machine.

Zhao Kai gently rubbed his temples.

Seal Studios, praying I don't get any leverage over them.

Just as Tencent was in a state of utter chaos and frantic activity.

Jingzhou University.

Boys' dormitory.

Wang Zixu was sitting in front of the computer, intently dragging the clip bar in the video editing software.

On the screen, a game character is unleashing a skill, and he is providing commentary in a slightly exaggerated tone.

"...So the combat feel of this game is only so-so, and its only advantage is that it's cheap."

"Alright, that concludes today's game review. If you all enjoyed the video, please remember to like, comment, and favorite it!"

After recording the last line, he let out a long sigh of relief and took off his headphones.

As a small content creator with less than 10,000 followers, he barely makes enough to live on by writing guides and making review videos, occasionally treating himself to a chicken leg.

These past two days, "Bloody Golden Triangle" has been in closed beta testing, leaving him in a gaming drought. He can only find other games to pass the time and make review videos to earn a little extra money.

He is now considering whether to try a career change and make videos about the "Bloody Golden Triangle".

I had accumulated a lot of footage from "The Bloody Golden Triangle" and was hesitant about whether to edit it out.

at this time,

The small Bilibili icon in the lower right corner of the computer screen started flashing, and a pop-up window appeared.

This is a system notification from the activity center.

He casually clicked on it, and his eyes were immediately drawn to a line of bold black text.

[Seal Studios launches the open beta of "Blood Triangle: Survivors," with millions in prizes up for grabs!]

It's in public beta now?
Wang Zixu was stunned.

I haven't been on the forum for only two days, and it's already in open beta?
That's incredibly fast!

I quickly clicked on the event link.

He paused for a moment after the webpage loaded.

The event page was designed to be very impactful, with golden bullet holes and banknotes scattered across a dark red background.

The event details are as follows.

The event was divided into two parts.

The first part is a video submission campaign open to all content creators (UPs).

The official platform encourages content creators to provide fair and objective reviews of the game, or to create guides, highlight reels, and other related videos.

Ultimately, a special event bonus will be awarded based on the video's overall data, primarily the number of likes.

The prize money for first place is as high as 100,000 yuan.

Wang Zixu's breathing became slightly rapid.

One hundred thousand!

This is an astronomical sum for him.

However, he was just observing; he still had his own self-awareness.
My own account is practically dead. Even if I try to ride the wave of popularity, I'll probably only get a participation prize of a hundred or so yuan.

His gaze continued downwards, and when he saw the second part of the event information, his eyes widened in surprise.

[First Kill Bounty: The first player to successfully complete "Blood Triangle: Survivors" will receive a cash reward of 1,000,000 RMB from Seal Studios!]

one million!

Wang Zixu stared intently at the string of zeros, counting them one by one.

Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands... millions!
That's right! It's one million!

call……

He took a deep breath.

One thought occupied all his thoughts.

I was the first beta tester to enter the game!

The game is non-wipe and can be carried over!
Currently, no one on the entire server is progressing the game's storyline faster than him!
He is now the closest person to winning the million-dollar prize.

My mood became somewhat agitated.

He is a senior in college and will graduate soon. He is currently very worried about finding a job.

But if we had this million...

What's the point of even looking for a job!
Even if he takes this money back to his small hometown, as long as he doesn't cause any trouble or get married, it's enough for him to live comfortably for ten years!
If we're careful with our food, it might take even longer.

Suppress your excitement and keep reading.

The event concluded with a notification:

The game has now partnered with Bilibili (a Chinese video-sharing website), featuring an in-game live-streaming function that allows players to start streaming with a single click.

The official team will randomly enter new streamers' livestream rooms to give away freebies and red envelopes.

Below the notice is the official account of the Bloody Golden Triangle.

Wang Zixu clicked on the account's profile picture casually.

The avatar is a very imposing leopard head logo.

There is only one video entry below.

Opening cinematic for "Bloody Golden Triangle: Survivors".

"CG?"

He clicked on it out of curiosity.

Accompanied by a burst of urgent background music, the screen lights up. "To succeed, first go crazy!"

"Go for money at all costs!"

A inflammatory voice rang out.

The camera transitions are incredibly smooth, with each scene perfectly timed to the climax of the melody.

The frenzy, the fierce battles, the struggles of fraud...

Scene after scene constructs a chaotic, dangerous, yet deadly and alluring lawless land.

When the title card "Bloody Golden Triangle: Survivors is coming soon" appeared, Wang Zixu realized that he had been holding his breath without realizing it.

He exhaled and immediately shared the video to the [Persuade to Spend Money Club] group chat.

The group is currently buzzing with discussion about the penguin's dirty secrets.

The news of the "King of Freebies" instantly attracted the attention of many people.

"What did the freeloader post?"

"Seal Studio? Bloody Golden Triangle? Is this the game's official account on Bilibili?"

"Holy crap! Guys, the game's officially launched!"

"Holy crap, the official website is accessible! The promotional activities are up too! Go check it out!"

"A million-dollar reward for clearing the game? Really?!"

The group chat exploded instantly, with many members who were initially observing immediately flocking to the official website.

A few minutes later.

"Guys, it's on sale! You can buy now!"

"How much? Just tell me so I can give up!"

"The original price was 1500, but now it's 1100 during the public beta event."

"!!!"

"Really? 1100? Does it include a helmet? Or is it just 1500 for the game, without a helmet?"

"Yes! The virtual reality headset and the game are sold as a package! To be honest, the price is really not expensive!"

"Indeed, even a cheap, no-name VR headset on the market costs one or two thousand yuan these days. This is practically like getting a VR headset for free with the game!"

"That's right! And I feel this game has huge potential. After buying it, I can just make some videos and do some live streams. As long as I'm willing to spend the time, breaking even won't be a problem! If I'm lucky and it becomes really popular, I might even make a fortune!"

"I'm tempted, I'll buy it!"

"Don't rush, guys! There's a group purchase promotion on the official website! If you buy in a group of five or more, the price is only 1000 per unit! Let's start a group and save 500 directly, isn't that great!?"

"Pull me up!"

"Count me in!"

……

……

Meanwhile, Seal Games Studio.

Inside the office.

Chen Jiajun has just packaged the final version of the game and sent it to the tournament organizing committee through an encrypted channel.

Within the next one to three business days, as long as the review is approved, players will be able to see "Bloody Golden Triangle" on the official event page and vote for it after the event starts.

After doing all this, Chen Jiajun relaxed completely, leaned back in his chair, and started scrolling through short videos.

A rare moment of leisure.

After scrolling for a short while, I heard a noise coming from the sofa area behind me.

Shen Yingying took off the virtual reality headset, shook her head, and let out a long breath to calm herself down.

"This game is way too hard!"

She tossed the helmet aside and couldn't help but complain.

Even though Chen Jiajun revealed some plot clues under her pressure, she still felt incredibly frustrated after entering the game.

The NPCs in the game are both annoying and stubborn.

She was used to giving orders and couldn't stand being bossed around by a group of NPCs.

The result was frequent conflicts with NPCs, a terrible gaming experience, and ultimately, the only option was to restart the game.

She looked at Chen Jiajun with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

"Your clues aren't very good, can't you get me some auxiliary tools or something?"

"Cheating? Dream on!"

Chen Jiajun refused without even looking up.

"why?"

"You're already so rich, why are you competing with ordinary players for that million in cash?"

Shen Yingying's face immediately fell, and she snorted.

"Am I after that million? I just want to see how this game ends!"

Chen Jiajun shrugged and smiled helplessly:
"There's really nothing I can do about it. But I do have a suggestion: once the game streamers on Bilibili start broadcasting, you can check out their live streams."

"Give them more gifts, and they'll work their hardest to help you progress."

"This way, you won't have to suffer yourself to see the rest of the story."

This is similar to how a new novelist gets a lot of motivation every time they receive recommendation votes or monthly votes.

In any case, the opportunity to cheat must never be opened.

This is related to the fairness of the game and the trust of the players; it is the lifeline of the studio.

But tipping streamers is a win-win situation.

You could specifically look for smaller streamers or those facing significant life pressures.

For a cheaper option, all you need is a little heart to make the streamer work overtime for a minute.

With Shen Yingying's wealth, let alone making the streamer work overtime, it wouldn't be a problem for him to live in the game for the rest of his life.

It can both motivate streamers and promote the game.

It's definitely killing two birds with one stone.

Shen Yingying snorted but did not refute.

This is indeed a good idea.

Thinking about the game made me a little nervous.

He glanced at the time and whispered:
"The game has been out for an hour."

"We have done what needs to be done."

"How many copies have you sold so far?"
