Starting with Genshin Impact, the whole world is going crazy for it.

The players outside were clearly going crazy.

They were still wandering outside not only after sunset, but also until nightfall.

"I just can't find this Easter egg..."

"Brothers, have you found it yet? I've only seen one so far."

"One is already pretty good. Where did you see that?"

They also chatted and shared their thoughts in small groups.

These players, holding their phones and running around near the experience center, attracted many passersby.

Every now and then someone would stop a player and ask what they were doing.

After receiving the answer, the passerby opened the mobile app store with some skepticism.

This bizarre yet joyful scene continued until 11 p.m.

The number of people outside shows no sign of decreasing!

Chapter 130 Are you crazy? Not even coming home in the middle of the night?

Night falls.

The summer night breeze carried a hint of the lingering heat from the day, and the sky was dotted with sparse stars. Anyone who came out for a walk would surely marvel at what a beautiful night it was.

Before they arrived at the experience center.

At this very moment, near the Tiankuo Game Experience Center, hundreds of players moved forward mechanically, holding their phones, as if they were walking corpses.

Hey bro, do you have any Pokémon over there?

"Sorry, I don't have any here. How about you?"

"I don't have any here either."

"Didn't they say that Easter eggs would always appear near the experience center?"

"Who told you that?"

The players whispered among themselves, yet remained persistent.

Zhou Tiankuo and the others stood inside the experience center and looked out, completely stunned.

He pointed at the players outside and asked, "Are they planning to stay out all night?"

Judging from their demeanor, they definitely have that idea!

"I don't understand either, boss." Xia Tian shook her head.

All she remembered was that she and Mu Yining were playing games with their friends on the computer today, and when she came to her senses, the experience center was already full of players.

They weren't very interested in the equipment in the experience center; they were all staring at their phones and occasionally glancing at the sky outside.

As night fell, they all ran out.

"They just wait until it's not hot to go out and catch Pokémon, and also to stumble upon Easter eggs."

Chu Zichen shrugged. "That young man, Wu Jiayu, just couldn't have come at this good time, because he has to go home early tonight."

Even recent high school graduates are still high school students; if they go home too late, their parents might scold them.

But now, the people near the experience center all look like college students.

"Are they all crazy? Why aren't they home this late..." Chen Yu was also astonished.

Is this game really that popular?

Zhou Tiankuo shook his head: "They're having fun outside, and we can't spoil their fun, besides, it's not our responsibility."

Pokémon GO is a mobile game, and once it's released, how players play it is beyond the control of the game developers.

Even if they were right near the experience center, as a game developer, Zhou Tiankuo couldn't go and tell them to go home and sleep.

Outside the experience center.

One player, feeling a bit tired, sat on a bench with his phone in hand, looking at the people around him.

A young man next to him couldn't help but come over and say, "Hey bro, I've been sitting here watching you for ages. What are you doing with your phone all this time?"

The player who was asked the question was taken aback at first, then moved to the side and said, "Holy crap, why are you staring at me like that?"

The passerby said helplessly, "No, don't overthink it. I just saw you all running around with your phones and asking questions, like you were playing some kind of game, so I was a little curious."

After the misunderstanding was cleared up, the player held up his phone and said to him, "It's like this, we're playing a newly released game... There's an experience center nearby, how come you didn't know?"

The passerby was completely bewildered.

What game?

What kind of experience center?

To him, it sounded like a fantasy.

The player, however, was as excited as if he had met someone who might become a fan, and talked about Pokémon GO in glowing terms.

"Let me tell you, bro! You live around here, you're really missing out if you don't play this game!"

The player pointed to his game interface and explained it to another passerby.

"I came here as soon as this experience center opened and have been playing this game ever since! Their data can be saved!"

Let me first praise Tiankuo Studio.

"I have to say, this studio is really amazing. I originally thought their game data could only be stored locally, and I was prepared to bring my phone to access it! But they said it's stored in the cloud. As long as you set up your account, you can log in after downloading the game."

Overcome with excitement, the player talked a lot.

The passersby were completely confused.

But soon, the player pointed at the game and explained how to play it and how to catch Pokémon...

And you can keep pets, etc...

I managed to recommend it to Amway.

A moment later, the passerby had already taken out his phone and downloaded Pokémon GO.

Such scenarios are not uncommon.

There were so many players around the experience center that passersby kept coming up to ask questions, and more and more people were joining the Pokémon-catching army.

Chu Zichen took a bottle of soda from the refrigerator and sat by the window to observe.

He said leisurely, "Boss, I feel like there are more people outside than before..."

Zhou Tiankuo laughed: "That's normal. That's how this game is."

Those around couldn't help but look at Zhou Tiankuo, marveling at how the boss truly lived up to his reputation, possessing such strategic brilliance.

In fact, Zhou Tiankuo himself was not optimistic about this game.

For example, he doesn't know if the current buzz around the experience center can last for three days.

Zhou Tiankuo believes that if this game doesn't rely on the nostalgia factor of the animated film, it needs to find another way to attract people's attention.

His approach was to capitalize on the excitement and novelty players experience when trying a new game.

There are many rewards and easter eggs triggered at the beginning, and you will get a lot of Poké Balls.

When players first start playing this game, the chances of encountering Pokémon are actually quite high, and the success rate of catching them is also very high.

If you catch a lot at the beginning, it will attract players to keep catching more.

In addition, he has already released the official Pokédex, which contains so many Pokémon, so players are definitely eager to catch more.

But this initial surge of energy will eventually pass.

Holding your phone at home means you won't be able to find new Pokémon for a long time.

You can only look at the Pokémon you've already caught on your phone and train them, which can also be considered a form of online time.

But for players who have initially enjoyed the game, this is nothing short of slow torture.

Of course, there are also a small number of players who are easily satisfied and become lazy after catching their favorite Pokémon.

However, most players want to catch as many Pokémon as possible, which requires players to play outdoors every day.

If one day a player no longer has such a strong urge to go out and play the game, then for that player, the life of Pokémon GO will have come to an end.

Zhou Tiankuo said in a low voice, "Let's live one day at a time."

I was just about to talk to them when I turned around and saw that only Zhang Lulu at the front desk was left.

"Where is he?" Zhou Tiankuo's eyes widened.

Zhang Lulu gestured towards the door with her chin: "They all went out to play on their phones too."

Zhou Tiankuo: "?"

I walked to the door and took a look.

Sure enough, Xia Tian and Mu Yining went to catch Pokémon, while Chen Yu was taken by Chu Zichen to collect Easter eggs.

The experience center was open 24 hours a day on its first day, and these people didn't plan to go home.

Chapter 131 Giant Pokémon Reappears in the Park

Zhou Tiankuo did not participate in the revelry outside.

For him, the most important thing right now is to check his performance in the Pokémon GO game.

Zhou Tiankuo returned to his office on the second floor and closed the door.

He only opened the system after confirming that no one would disturb him.

The only downside to working in the office on the second floor of the experience center these past few days is that someone might come looking for him in the middle of the day.

Last time, Xia Tian suddenly knocked on the door and came in, which startled Zhou Tiankuo.

Although he knew that his system existed in his mind and would not be seen by outsiders, Zhou Tiankuo was still somewhat apprehensive.

What he feared was that people would think he was talking to himself and have other ideas.
