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

Zhou Tiankuo even laughed when he saw the end.

That's a good point. Zhou Yunpeng also told him that he supports Zhou Tiankuo.

However, no one rigged or interfered in this bet.

Starlight has already experienced a crisis of trust once, and they would never joke about something this serious again.

Moreover, if Zhou Yunpeng really had the courage and confidence to stand against the entire Dynasty Entertainment, he wouldn't have gone to the experience center specifically to find Zhou Tiankuo.

It can only be said that everything is arranged and connected.

Zhou Yunpeng's public expression of support for Zhou Tiankuo may well reflect his own thoughts.

Starlight's development has hit a bottleneck in recent years. The reason why this crisis of trust has erupted so violently is that its game awards have not been accepted by players over the years.

While players may not be able to see the full picture of how the market operates and what's going on inside, they can still discern some underlying principles.

The fact that some seemingly terrible games can top the charts has led some players to question the fairness of the Starlight Contest.

The Starlight Awards' decision to award these prizes was a reluctant one; they need to make a living.

All of this is being manipulated by Dynasty Entertainment.

The power of distribution channels is limitless.

If Starlight wants to achieve a breakthrough and have their awards recognized by more players, they need to be willing to break away from Dynasty Entertainment's arrangements.

At the same time, we should encourage more new games to enter the market.

This is one of the reasons why Zhou Yunpeng supports Zhou Tiankuo.

He recognized the transformative power in Zhou Tiankuo.

Simply put, Zhou Tiankuo's games have shaken up the entire market.

He showed players things they had never imagined before, and they discovered that there was another path to take.

It turns out that people can have a proper meal without having to scavenge for food.

As Tiankuo Studio released one game after another, players' tastes became extremely discerning, and eventually they could no longer appreciate those trash games!

Zhou Tiankuo himself was aware of these considerations.

Because he had spoken to Zhou Yunpeng on the phone again a few days ago.

Now, Zhou Tiankuo regards the other party as a senior in the industry and humbly seeks his advice.

Let's return to the starlight interface.

Zhou Tiankuo was dazzled by all the data, but he would smile whenever he saw the difference in revenue.

As a mobile game, and an AR game at that, "Let's Catch Monsters" has obvious shortcomings, just like the Pokémon GO it copied.

At night, the user activity data for "Let's Catch Monsters" drops significantly.

Chapter 161 Someone's getting restless, I won't say who.

Zhou Tiankuo glanced at the time.

It was already 10 p.m.

He frowned, not even realizing it was already past the end of the workday. Time seemed to fly by in his office.

However, he also did a lot of things.

The new employees from outside should have already left work; Xia Tian will take care of that.

Zhou Tiankuo himself didn't need to worry about anything.

He had said during his previous job that he shouldn't be bothered unless necessary, and surprisingly, no one paid any attention to him in the office all day.

Zhou Tiankuo thought for a moment and continued looking at the data.

Currently, at 10 AM, the number of active players in the game "Let's Catch Monsters" is still very high.

It reached 50.

In other words, at this very moment, 50 players are happily playing "Catch Monsters" on their mobile phones.

As for Dungeon Fighter Online...

There are 70.

Zhou Tiankuo chuckled: "Just as Xia Tian said, all the office workers have gone home at this hour, and everyone's playing games at home..."

Compared to going out and running around with your phone, it's definitely more comfortable to stay at home and play games.

However, thinking of this, Zhou Tiankuo even opened the system to check the data of Pokémon GO.

Pokémon GO

[Cumulative downloads: 1342657]

Current rating: 4 stars

Current active players: 1632415

A million?

Zhou Tiankuo himself was quite surprised.

Given the financial strength of DouDou Interactive Entertainment and Dynasty Entertainment, they had already launched a carpet bombing campaign for "Let's Catch Monsters" even before its official release.

Logically, the advertising effect should be greater after it's released...

Surprisingly, these figures are still inferior to those of games previously released by Tiankuo Studio.

Zhou Tiankuo thought disdainfully, "Plagiarism is plagiarism after all."

No matter how much hype they put on it, and with so many paid trolls, they still can't beat the original content.

Next, Zhou Tiankuo will focus on user activity.

When everyone is catching monsters, the number of players peaks around 500,000 and then remains relatively stable, fluctuating by about 10,000 to 20,000.

In his memory, this was also the average data for the game "Let's Catch Monsters" over the past few days.

Zhou Tiankuo frowned, wrote a simple program, and extracted the data from the past few days.

Sure enough, by this time of night, it was basically 50.

Zhou Tiankuo seemed to be deep in thought, but he planned to continue looking at the data after he got home.

After shutting down his computer and leaving the office, Zhou Tiankuo discovered that the company was truly empty.

Only Xia Tian was outside, watering a potted plant.

"Xia Tian? Why haven't you left yet?" Zhou Tiankuo was very surprised.

Xia Tian turned around and said, "Boss, you're finally off work."

The two of them felt a little awkward for a moment.

Xia Tian hurriedly explained, "I was thinking that since it was my first day at work, I had a lot to discuss with you... Plus, you've been under a lot of stress lately because of that bet, so I thought I'd talk to you after get off work."

We can also take this opportunity to discuss the work progress.

This has always been Xia Tian's habit.

She was basically driven like this at Starlight, and had to report her work progress to her superiors every now and then.

Zhou Tiankuo scratched his head: "You don't need to be so demanding of yourself. As long as we all work together to make the game, everything will be fine. I started this company."

“That still won’t work. You’re in charge of so many things, and this is just a small branch… I think it’s also important that you stay informed about company information.”

In Xia Tian's eyes, Zhou Tiankuo was an extremely busy person with countless tasks every day.

Zhou Tiankuo suddenly remembered that he had told them this was a new company he was directly leading this year...

I couldn't help but feel ashamed.

As the saying goes, once you tell a lie, you have to tell one lie after another to cover it up.

Zhou Tiankuo is now in this extremely awkward situation.

If it weren't for the need to keep his possession of the system a secret, he would have loved to tell everyone everything about himself.

After closing the company door, the two left the building in silence.

"Aren't you worried about safety on your way back at this hour?" Zhou Tiankuo couldn't help but ask.

In his memory, Xia Tian lived alone, and she wasn't afraid to walk alone at night.

Xia Tian shook her head: "It would be more scary in winter, but it's summer now, so look, it's not even that dark..."

She pointed casually, and her gaze followed to the distance; the summer night sky was surprisingly beautiful.

The evening breeze still carried the lingering heat of the day, but Zhou Tiankuo felt refreshed.

"That's true. But it's best not to leave work so late. I haven't asked you to work overtime; you can leave early after you've finished your work."

Zhou Tiankuo said to Xia Tian very seriously.

Xia Tian was taken aback at first, then chuckled: "Boss, are you giving me special treatment, or can all employees do this?"

"It's not really special treatment... I think the most important thing is the content and the most important thing is work efficiency. If someone finishes their work and has to leave early because of something, that's fine too."

Zhou Tiankuo has no experience in running a company and still doesn't understand the difficulties of management.

He was single-mindedly focused on making the game.

Therefore, a more humane company management system might be better for him.

"What a great boss. Today I was handling their onboarding procedures and they were full of praise for you."
