The game is only half finished, and the entire internet is begging for an update!

Meanwhile, there's the game "Day and Night".

The atmosphere in the office had shifted from awkwardness in the morning to genuine tension.

Shen Zhaozhao carried her laptop into the conference room and projected the forum page directly onto the big screen.

"President Jiang, things seem to be getting a little out of control."

"The number of votes for the player meet-up has exceeded ten thousand, and people are still compiling a list of attendees in the group. Currently, more than two thousand people have confirmed that they will come to Xingcheng."

"I can't calm this down on the forum anymore; I even won several merchandise prizes!"

"They all just take the gifts, they don't do anything!"

When Ma Shangfei heard the number of people, the water glass in his hand stopped in mid-air.

"More than two thousand people?"

"Is there enough room to stand at the entrance of this park?"

Zhao Zhibai thought about it carefully.

"He should be able to stand."

"The problem is that after we finish standing there, people from other companies might not be able to get in."

The meeting room was silent for a few seconds.

The park where Chaoxi Games is located is not small, but it also houses many other companies.

If this player really comes, the consequences are unimaginable!

"President Jiang, you've really messed up this time!"

Zhao Zhibai paced anxiously back and forth in his office. As a former author, he knew all too well what readers could do when they got carried away.

Sending razor blades or opening the box directly are minor issues!

"President Jiang, the security in our office park right now... is really inadequate. There are only two security guards at the main gate downstairs, one of whom, Grandpa Wang, is already sixty-five years old. With our small number of people and this dilapidated gate, if a few hundred people really came, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to hold them off for even three minutes!"

Two security guards... and hundreds of players.

This power gap might be even greater than that of the Seekers on the third day after the server opened.

"and……"

Ma Shangfei added

"Our company's glass doors aren't even impact-resistant!"

Everyone was alarmed; this was clearly a major accident.

Jiang Bo sat at the conference table, watching the forum's discussion heat rise higher and higher, but his mood was not as relaxed as when he had previously achieved his expectations.

On the system panel, the expectation level continues to rise.

But Jiang Bo was certain that the lion's share of this story might not actually be the one titled "I Found the Imperial Seal of the State!"

Even so, this is not the scene Jiang Bo wants to see.

Because along with these rising expectations, player dissatisfaction has also increased.

This is the side effect of excessive expectations.

In the past, Jiang Bo's first reaction to seeing players urging him to update was always happiness.

The more anxious the players are.

This proves that the more they want to know what happens next.

The higher the expectations, the greater the potential.

However, after playing several games, he gradually realized that simply making a game halfway through and then using a disjointed storyline to raise expectations was only the easiest approach.

This method is indeed very effective in the early stages, and expectations rise like a rocket.

But now, the side effects are starting!

Expectations are like a constantly compressed spring. The harder you compress it, the greater the accumulated force. When the player's patience runs out, it will bounce back!

This rebounding force will transform into overwhelming resentment and anger.

If this continues, expectations will remain, but reputation, trust, and patience will be gradually eroded.

Once players feel that the game is just deliberately building anticipation, the blank spaces that could have created excitement will gradually become perfunctory.

This is no small matter.

No matter how high the expectations are, we can't sacrifice the reputation of Chaoxi Games.

Moreover, although these players are currently shouting about blocking the entrance, their tone is still mainly focused on making jokes and urging for updates. What they really want is for Chaoxi Games to give a clear response.

If the company continues to pretend not to see it, things will be completely different once the joke turns into disappointment.

Jiang Bo pondered for a long time before finally raising his head.

"At this moment, we must take action."

Shen Zhaozhao nodded immediately.

"I will contact the platform immediately to issue a notice advising everyone not to gather offline."

"Simply offering advice won't work."

Jiang Bo shook his head.

"They feel we haven't heard the players' voices. Releasing a formulaic announcement at this time will only make them think we're just going through the motions."

Zhou Guangqi tentatively asked:

"So, are you really going to hold a player meet-up?"

"manage."

Jiang Bo did not hesitate.

"However, the location cannot be in the park, nor can it be just a few dozen people sitting in a conference room asking a few questions."

"This time, we have new materials and new merchandise, so we're going to hold a really good fan meeting!"

After Jiang Bo finished speaking, the atmosphere in the conference room finally eased a little.

As long as they are willing to respond positively, players won't actually mistake the park gate for a dungeon entrance.

The problem is that there are significantly more players in Chaoxi Games now, making it difficult to find a venue. Event approval, security, and on-site setup all take time. Organizing a large-scale meet-and-greet on short notice is not as simple as it sounds.

We can't just set up two tables in the hotel like we did last time!

As everyone was deep in thought, Sheng Tinglan, who was sitting next to them, suddenly spoke up.

"President Jiang, I do have an idea."

"Soon, Shanghai will host a large-scale game expo. The organizers will provide game companies with independent exhibition areas and allow them to arrange on-site demos, stage activities, and player interaction sessions."

She quickly turned on her computer and found the registration information for the game expo.

This exhibition is very large, with several regular exhibition halls, as well as a dedicated launch stage and activity area.

As long as the application is completed in advance, Chaoxi Games can rent a large enough venue and hold the player meet-up directly at the exhibition.

Chaoxi Games can also take the opportunity to showcase its works, sell new merchandise, and select representatives from players of various games to come on stage for exchanges.

The exhibition itself has a well-established security and entry process!

No matter how excited the players are, they still have to buy tickets, queue up, and go through security!

Ma Shangfei's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this.

"This is good!"

"The place is big enough and the transportation is convenient."

Zhao Zhibai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"That's right! At least the two security guards downstairs are safe."

Sheng Tinglan, however, was not in a hurry to be happy.

She flipped down a few pages of the registration rules and pointed to one of the requirements.

"The problem is that this game show mainly focuses on new games and recently announced projects."

"Exhibiting companies can bring games that have already been released, but they must also have a new game that meets the requirements, or new content that is being revealed to the public for the first time. If you simply bring a few old games to hold a meet-and-greet, the organizers will most likely not give you a good booth."

Upon hearing the words "new game," the meeting room fell silent once more.

The next second, Jiang Bo looked up.

"A new game?"

"We do."

"Isn't 'Love Requires Talking to People' exactly what it is!"

"Love Requires Talking to People" perfectly meets the requirements. There haven't been any official offline events or official launches. All we've been releasing are trailers! Isn't this a pure, fresh, brand-new game?

"Players have been waiting for this game for a long time, and this time, we're launching it directly!"

Yes!

Upon hearing this, Ma Shangfei immediately became excited.

Finally, it's almost here!

From the initial planning stages of "Love Requires Talking to People" to the present, he has been involved in the development of the game almost from start to finish.

I've tested it out, I've rediscovered the feeling of being in love, and I've released countless previews.

He's completely at a loss for words when it comes to the text he's about to release! Anyone who didn't know better would think their game is limited to a certain number of accounts!

Now, "Love Requires Talking to People" will finally be available for trial play at the game expo.

This also means that after working so hard on the game for so long, it's the first time they're actually handing it over to the players.

Those who are looking for love are finally going to have their moment!

"President Jiang, this is an excellent opportunity!"

Ma Shangfei sat up straight, his worry largely dispelled by excitement.

"We can present it as the main new title from Chaoxi Games at this exhibition and prepare a standalone demo. Other games can also have corresponding areas set up, while the Jade Seal players' meet-and-greet will be held on the main stage."

Sheng Tinglan nodded immediately.

"Okay, I'll contact the organizer today."

"Submit materials under the name 'Love Requires Talking to People' to apply for a large booth and stage event time."
