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

After sending the message,

The live stream, which had nearly 100,000 viewers, seemed to have been paused.

Then, the screen exploded with question marks.

【? ? ? ? 】

Holy crap?!

So this is really a game?

[I've been watching this for days, and I thought Chaoxi Games had gone mad. Turns out you guys are just promoting your entry for an competition?]

[Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!!! This is a game?! This is a game we can actually play?!]

[Holy crap! I was thinking while reading the novel that this customer service was ridiculous! And now you're telling me I can actually be their customer service representative?!]

[Take the sense of control that readers of wish-fulfillment novels crave most and turn it into a game mechanic?! Interesting!]

【I want to play! I want to play right now! How much? Deduct it directly from my card! Don't force me to beg you on my knees!】

[Those in front, all the games Deep Blue is participating in are free! They've really hit the jackpot! A win-win situation!]

[Wow, now that you mention it, I suddenly understand! The academy is going to be proven wrong? Looking forward to it!]

[Transmigrated into a novel, Tomato, and wreaks havoc!]

[Boss, change the disc!! Hurry up and bring out the finished product! I was just criticizing it as unrelated to fiction, but now I feel like the Joker is me.]

Those who were initially just watching for the spectacle finally began to connect the previous content with the game's terms.

Gods, customer service!

That's it!

Novels and games, in this seemingly inopportune moment of competition, finally achieved their most magnificent convergence.

Shen Zhaozhao's heart was pounding as she looked at the screen full of comments.

It worked!

At that moment, she finally realized that all the groundwork she had laid had not been in vain.

If promotional copy is released from the beginning, viewers will likely think: Text-based interaction? Customer service in a wish-fulfillment novel? What is this?

But things are different now.

They've been following it for days, and the readers are already familiar with the formula of wish-fulfillment novels. Once their interest is at its peak, they'll be told that this is just a game.

The effect is completely different.

At that moment, the system panel in front of Jiang Bo was also jumping wildly.

[Expectation level +12]

[Expectation level +16]

[Expectation level +21]

Jiang Bo looked at the steadily rising numbers and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

The first step is complete! Objective achieved!

Now, viewers are not just looking for a sequel to the novel; they are starting to look forward to the game itself.

……

Meanwhile, they played games day and night.

Ma Shangfei was staring intently at the computer screen, the iced tea he had been holding had gone cold.

During the competition, his mood was more thrilling than riding a roller coaster.

When Ma Shangfei first saw his boss Jiang Bo frantically writing his novel on the national competition stage, he felt a wave of dizziness and almost fainted.

His mind was filled with a frantic roar:

Boss! We're here to develop games, not to become gods in Deep Blue!

Even if you could just sculpt a stick figure on the spot, it would be better than writing this stuff!

With so many people in the live stream, why are you writing novels? You're neglecting your duties!

However, as Shen Zhaozhao continued to update, the number of viewers in the live stream kept increasing.

Ma Shangfei was stunned.

"I see! I see!!"

As a senior employee of Chaoxi Games, Ma Shangfei considered himself a marketing expert, but President Jiang's move completely shattered his marketing strategies.

"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! How does President Jiang's brain work?!"

Ma Shangfei looked at the barrage of comments flooding the live stream with awe in his eyes.

What does it mean to deliver a devastating blow? This is it! President Jiang is so incredibly perceptive!

……

At the same time.

The DeepBlue platform invited gaming influencers to watch the competition.

Chi Cheng stared at the explosive data in Chaoxi Games' live stream, falling into a long period of numbness.

"Brother Cheng, what do you think of Chaoxi Games' move?"

An assistant in the stands asked a curious question.

How do I see? I see with my eyes!

Chi Cheng felt a little numb, but he still let out a long sigh as he faced the live stream.

"A cliché! So cliché! This is practically taking a risky approach!"

Chi Cheng looked at the growing number of people in the live stream, and then at the obvious diversion of popularity in the other participating teams' live streams, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Players familiar with Chaoxi Games might recognize this as their usual tactic! Haven't you figured it out yet? From manipulating mindsets at the beginning to this extreme tug-of-war, these guys have never played by the rules!"

"Take a look at the teams from other regions."

"Others are honestly working behind closed doors, putting their best effort into showcasing their technical expertise, but in other live stream chats, people are already spamming 'Chaoxi Games'."

Chi Cheng shook his head with a wry smile.

"How can you compare like this? He's disrupted the entire development zone's rhythm!"

"Now everyone knows that someone is distributing novels at the competition venue, and most people know about 'Top Customer Service, Wandering Through the Heavens!' How can they remain calm about this!"

This is an open and unsolvable scheme!

The assistant glanced at the comments section.

"Yes!"

"It's already affected. Just now, a team's planner in Zone B was complaining in his live stream that Chaoxi Games made the competition feel like watching a live episode of a TV series."

Chi Cheng's lips twitched.

He's right.

But complaints aside.

Chi Cheng looked at Jiang Bo, who was still typing away on the screen, and then at Shen Zhaozhao, whose eyes were shining beside him. Just like Xiahou Dun looking up, he gave her a second glance of admiration!

Everyone knows how harsh the survival environment is for independent game companies in China.

What's the hardest thing for a small game company? It's not making something playable, but rather letting people know you've made something!

Big companies have resources, access points, platform recommendations, and they also generate their own buzz. They can easily create a lot of discussion in the live stream by simply throwing out a setting.

But now, it's truly remarkable that a small game company like Chaoxi can achieve such success, using novels to break out of its niche and attract everyone's attention.

"How can these teams possibly beat him..."

Chi Cheng sighed softly.

……

The outside world's frenzy, shock, criticism, and even worship had no effect on Jiang Bo at workstation number 07 in Zone C.

The sound of the keyboard became his most faithful background music during those 168 hours.

With the help of his incredibly fast typing speed, a large amount of content, numerous text branches, and endings were all typed into the game piece by piece.

If he weren't working two jobs, Jiang Bo felt he could have been even faster.

at last.

On the morning of the final day, the giant countdown screen in the center of the competition venue began to display the final ten minutes.

The once noisy live stream room gradually quieted down at this moment.

All participating teams have entered the final upload stage.

"Ten minutes remaining. All participating teams, please complete and upload your final version."

An announcement rang out from above the venue.

"Entries that are not uploaded by the deadline will be considered as automatically forfeiting their eligibility for this round of display."

At this moment, everyone's attention shifted from the serialized novel, the live stream's popularity, and forum discussions back to the competition itself.

Because no matter how much noise the game makes beforehand, in the end, it all comes down to the final product.

No matter how popular the novel is, or how clever the promotion is, if you can't deliver a game, it's all a joke.

Chi Cheng sat up straight.

Ma Shangfei held his breath in front of the company's screen.

Shen Zhaozhao sat next to Jiang Bo, her palms sweating uncontrollably.

Jiang Bo simply looked at the upload page on his computer, confirmed that the final packaging was complete, and calmly clicked submit.

[Uploaded successfully: "Top Customer Service, Roaming the Heavens!"]

At almost the same time, notifications indicating that the upload was complete popped up in various parts of the venue.

The upload to Jiewaishe was successful.

Little Flame Studio successfully uploaded the content.

The Shan Hai team successfully uploaded the file.

One after another, the entries were officially entered into the DeepBlue platform's trial play zone backend.

The numbers on the giant countdown screen finally reached zero.

【00:00:00】

The announcement rang out again throughout the venue.

"The closed development phase of the 33rd National Mini-Game Creative Development Competition has officially ended."

"All uploaded works will enter the demo and rating stage."

"Please take a short break. The platform will open the first batch of trial access in ten minutes."

The moment the words were spoken, the chat in Chaoxi Games' live stream went silent for less than a second.

next moment.

【It's here! It's here! It's here!】

[Open the door! I'm ready to start work!]

[Customer service 10086 requests to be deployed!]

[Jiang Bo, you better really do it!]

I've been reading novels for seven days, and nobody's stopping me from clocking in for work today!

[Lu Wen, wait for me! I'm coming to cover your mouth!]

Wow, so many games! But I only seem to remember one: that damn customer service!

Shen Zhaozhao's heart was pounding as she looked at the comments.

All the groundwork, all the announcements, all the controversies and calls for updates over the past seven days have finally culminated in this moment.

Jiang Bo sat in front of his computer, looking at the notification that the trial access was about to open, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Zhaozhao, you did a perfect job with the publicity and pre-launch efforts."

Shen Zhaozhao was taken aback.

I've won the boss's approval! At this moment, all the fatigue of the past few days seems to have been washed away by these words.

Jiang Bo stood up, stretched, and looked at the large screen in the center of the venue.

"Now, let the bullets fly for a while."
