I was in my final year of high school, and my deskmate found out I was writing a novel!

They fooled around all night, which could be considered a celebration of their graduation.

I was planning to play a couple of games after dinner, since it's more fun with more people.

But wasn't it because Miaomiao had drunk too much again? She dragged him into the bathtub, and then...

He slept until 10 a.m. His life was very regular when he was working, but now that he doesn't have to work, he's become lazy.

It's also possible that they were fooling around for too long last night.

Miaomiao was fast asleep nestled to the side, and Ye Feng tried to wake her up a few times, but she didn't.

Ye Feng ignored her, threw off the covers, and got out of bed on his own.

After washing up, I was a little hungry and was about to get something to eat when I saw a missed call on my phone.

Wow, several people called him, and there were a lot of messages too.

He glanced through the group chat and saw that everyone there was from the company, so there was no need to reply; he had already seen it all in the group.

It turns out that the public beta test was a huge success last night, and everyone wanted to share the good news with him!

Little did I know he was asleep; he had even turned on Do Not Disturb mode to avoid being disturbed.

He sent several large red envelopes in the group chat, which was a way of letting everyone know that he was aware of the situation. As for the phone calls, he didn't bother to reply to each one individually.

After cooking the noodles, Ye Feng returned to his bedroom.

"Get up, it's almost noon."

"I'm going to sleep a little longer~"

"Don't sleep anymore, or you won't be able to sleep tonight."

"It's all your fault!"

"It's my fault again. You were the one pestering me last night. Fine, if you don't get up, I'm going to pull off the covers."

Tidy up her clothes; she's not wearing anything right now.

"Ye Feng, Ye Feng, how's the game going?"

Picking up the bowl, Miaomiao finally remembered the important thing.

"That's great, they messaged me."

Ye Feng remained calm, as if he could easily handle the matter.

However, he was not at peace with himself. It wasn't about the money, but about the fact that his creative game had won everyone's hearts!

Miaomiao finished her noodles in a few bites, not even bothering to wipe her phone, and immediately went to Ye Feng's side to fiddle with his screen.

"Let me see! How many people are playing? What are the reviews like?"

Ye Feng smiled and handed over the phone. The moment it was unlocked, the real-time data that popped up on the screen made Miao Miao gasp.

According to the game's official backend data, within just over ten hours of its launch, the number of registered users had exceeded three million, and the peak number of concurrent online users reached 1.8 million. The servers even experienced temporary lag due to the sudden influx of players, and the technical department had to expand capacity three times to stabilize the situation!

In the app store, the game has a high rating of 4.9, and tens of thousands of reviews are almost all five-star reviews.

"Oh My God!"

Miaomiao covered her mouth, her fingers rapidly scrolling down to refresh the comments section.

"Look at this: 'What an amazing game! The parachute landing and looting system is so addictive, I've played eight rounds and can't stop!'"

"And this one: 'I played with my friends and we made it to the final round. My heart was pounding in my throat. After we won, I screamed in the dorm!'; Some people even said, 'I've uninstalled other games. I'll only play this one from now on. Can you please add an anti-addiction system? I'm afraid I'll die from overwork in front of my computer!'"

She read with great enthusiasm, while Ye Feng leaned back in his chair, unable to hide the smile on his lips.

Actually, when he first looked at the backend data, his heart couldn't help but pound.

As they were talking, Ye Feng's phone started vibrating again, this time a notification from a short video platform.

Upon clicking, the hashtag #PUBGGodsTonight# has already topped the trending searches!

The related video has been viewed over 100 million times.

Some streamers stayed up all night streaming to climb the ranks, and the chat was flooded with comments.

A player edited a highlight reel of amazing kills, set to an exciting background music track, and the number of likes exceeded 100,000 in just a few minutes!

Some people even shared their own fan art of game characters, perfectly recreating items like frying pans and level 3 helmets from the game.

"Look, look! Even our university's official Weibo account reposted it, saying, 'A stress-relieving gadget for graduation season, alumni are all using it!'"

Miaomiao held her phone up to Ye Feng's face, her eyes shining like stars.

"And there's the post Mr. Lin just made on WeChat Moments, saying that the data curve on the company's server backend is steeper than a rocket launch, and investors have been calling overnight to congratulate us!"

Ye Feng picked up his phone and opened the company's work group chat, which was already buzzing with excitement.

The tech team posted a group photo of themselves expanding server capacity at 3 a.m., the operations team was compiling popularity data from various platforms, and the marketing team said that several brands had approached them to discuss co-branding collaborations.

Lin Wei sent him a private message.

"Mr. Ye, given this level of hype, the stock price will likely rise by at least another 30% after the IPO! Your idea is practically a money-printing machine!"

"Want to start a game now?"

Ye Feng put down his phone and looked at Miaomiao.

"Let me show you just how addictive the game your boyfriend designed is."

Miaomiao nodded immediately and pulled Ye Feng to the study.

Upon opening the computer and logging into the account, the game login screen was already flooded with blessings from players.

The two teamed up for matchmaking, and as soon as they entered the game, they heard their teammate's excited voice.

"Holy crap! Isn't this CEO Ye's account? The legendary founder of the game?"

"Really? Please carry me!"

Another teammate immediately chimed in.

Miaomiao couldn't help but laugh out loud, and leaned closer to the microphone: "His skills are so-so, let me guide you guys!"

As the game begins and the plane takes off, the map is covered with a dazzling array of player markers.

As they parachuted to safety, they were surrounded by footsteps and gunshots. Miaomiao screamed in fright, while Ye Feng protected her as she picked up her equipment, all the while joking and teasing her.

"Who was it that just said they'd take us flying?"

"An unexpected surprise!"

While dodging bullets, Miaomiao controlled her character to collect supplies. Although she was busy and flustered, her face was full of excitement.

When the two managed to survive until the final circle, and finally won the game thanks to Ye Feng's precise ambush with an airdrop crate, Miao Miao jumped up from her chair and hugged Ye Feng's neck in cheers.

"We won! Ye Feng, you're amazing!"

The sunlight outside the window was perfect, shining through the curtains onto the two of them.

The game's real-time data was still scrolling on the computer screen, showing that the number of registered users had exceeded four million, and major game forums and social platforms were full of discussions about "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds".

Looking at Miaomiao beside him, her eyes crinkling with laughter, and then at the numbers climbing on the screen, Ye Feng suddenly realized that, compared to the impending surge in wealth, the feeling of having his creativity recognized and sharing the joy with someone he liked was the most precious thing.

What he didn't know was that the explosive popularity of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" had quietly changed the landscape of the entire gaming industry.

Countless game companies began to follow suit and imitate "Battle Royale". At the same time, live streaming platforms saw a surge in user activity due to the game, and even offline esports venues began to prepare dedicated tournaments.

This game is sparking an unprecedented gaming frenzy around the world!
