Teacher Gou browsed the trending news numbly, clicking on them one by one, his eyes dull.

He had been playing for so long that his spirit had long since left home. Now everything looked like bricks to him. When he saw two identical Chinese characters, he wanted to find a third one and try to make a match of three.

So when he first saw the trending search, his mind had no reaction.

After he watched for several minutes and refreshed the page several times, and saw the live broadcast room's barrage of comments and hot search topics explode, he slowly came to his senses.

He was famous, he was really famous. He was on the hot search list that he had always dreamed of.

There are tens of thousands of streamers, big and small, on Shark Network. Who wouldn't want to be on the trending search list? But how many of them can actually make it?

How much effort has he put in, how much road has he walked, and how much pain has he endured that is unimaginable to ordinary people for this day?

"Woo, woo, woo, woo..."

Teacher Gou suddenly burst into tears.

Adult breakdowns come so suddenly.

The barrage of comments passed by:

【Why are you crying? 】

[No need to cry if you can't complete the game, right? ]

[You don't know, the host said he wouldn't stop broadcasting until he cleared the game. He couldn't sleep at 2am. I would cry too.]

【miserable·Teacher Gou·miserable】矆

[That's so tragic, hahahaha, sorry, my merits are gone.]

The streamer's anguish was interpreted by the audience as a breakdown caused by the game being too difficult. Everyone's joys and sorrows are indeed different; Teacher Gou just thought they were noisy.

The footage of his collapse was also captured by enthusiastic netizens and uploaded to the Internet with the title "Shocking! Millions of anchors collapsed from playing games!", which caused another wave of discussion.

Of course, this is all in the past.

During the 12 hours when Teacher Gou live-streamed the game "Sheep", the effect of Chen Ya's viral marketing was rapidly fermenting.

The game "Sheep and Sheep" is experiencing explosive growth.

Players who come into contact with this game generally go through four stages:

The first stage is the initial experience, where players think the game is not difficult and have no desire to share, but they soon encounter a difficulty bottleneck deliberately set in the second level;

The second stage is the excitement phase, during which players will constantly try various methods to clear levels, including forwarding games, watching ads, etc. Players in this phase bring huge profits to the game.

The third stage is the extinction phase, where players give up because the game is too difficult, or finally find that they cannot complete the game and choose to put it down;

Then comes the final stage, where players become the ones having fun. They will forward the game to those around them, watching their defenses break down and see them experience the same breakdown as themselves.

Every moment, there are players experiencing the transition between these four stages, and thus, this game becomes a community event.

The game itself is no longer important. What is important is the discussion it brings and the community it builds.

Players communicated with their friends through forwarding and sharing, rebuilt relationships, and had common topics to discuss.

The theory that Chen Ya had previously told Ishikawa Dong, "The highest configuration of the game is friends, and the essence of the game is interaction with friends," actually returned to its original point in this way.

Activated by the rubbish game "Sheep", players actually started interacting and communicating with each other again, and there were very few negative emotions between them - because all the negative emotions were given to the game.

By the afternoon, Qin Sulan had completed the transition from the second stage to the third stage. After sending the game to her best friend, she is now turning to the fourth stage.

Every ten minutes or so, her bestie would send her one or two messages:

"I was almost there just now, I almost cleared the level."

"Aa ...

"Can I pay real money to play this game? Is there a cracked version? Are there any cheats?"

"Rubbish game."

Qin Sulan lay on the bed, tilted her head to look at the message from her best friend, and laughed.

I opened Weibo and suddenly found that the game had become a hot topic.

Moreover, if you refresh the page, the speed at which topic Weibo posts increase has gone from one post every few minutes to one post per refresh, and then to dozens of posts per refresh.

The topic has seen explosive growth in popularity.

This made Qin Sulan feel incredible.

The game she personally participated in creating became a huge hit right under her nose, and this experience made her feel very wonderful.

My bestie sent me another message:

[I won't play this game anymore. This game is really rubbish and a waste of time.]

Qin Sulan replied:

[Be respectful, this is a game I personally helped create!]

My best friend said: "Your drawings are okay, very much like kindergarten teachers' hand-drawn stick figures, but the game is really, it can give children a brain hemorrhage."

Qin Sulan said: [Hahaha, it's obviously you who are too stupid! ]

My best friend said: "Hey, everyone around me has been inspired by me to play this game. My mom is sitting there with her phone and has been playing for an hour."

Qin Sulan said: [Thank you for helping me promote the game. The more popular the game is, the more bonuses I will get.]

It's incredible that my friend's game has become so popular. It feels amazing.

Qin Sulan said with a hint of pride: [That is.]

My bestie asked: "How are the game statistics now? How much money have you made? Do you know any inside information?"

Qin Sulan said: [I don't know. I'm on vacation at home, but I want to ask.]

【Just go and ask.】

Qin Sulan held her phone and wrote a message to Ishikawa Dong, whom she had added as a friend.

Although Ishikawa Atsushi is young, he has already shown signs of being a workaholic and is still working hard in the company today.
