late at night.

After coaxing Liang Zhirou to sleep, Chen Lu slowly walked out of the bedroom, no longer laughing so carefree.

It wasn't until I started a family that I realized just how heavy responsibility really is.

When he closes his eyes, he sees his whole family waiting for him to create a better life.

Liang Zhirou doesn't care whether he makes money or not, but she doesn't want to see this simpleton like before, only willing to buy her clothes worth a few dozen yuan, and even hesitating for a long time when buying groceries.

I don't want Yunqi and Muxue to grow up and see other kids holding all sorts of novel and strange toys, and then have to lie to themselves and say they're not envious and that they need to be sensible.

Chen Lu breathed a sigh of relief; he had been too lucky back then.

That's how people are; when things come to a head, they all think they're the lucky ones who will succeed, completely oblivious to the countless bones buried beneath the surface.

Damn, if he had a system, he could just sign in and receive millions, or even have a company given to him out of thin air. Why would he be so worried that he can't sleep?

Even a small reward for completing the task would be helpful.

...Unfortunately, reality isn't that far-fetched; there's no such thing as a free lunch.

Chen Lu tilted his head back and began to summarize the current problems.

In essence, it all boils down to one thing.

Players are exhausted from work and life every day, and after get off work they just want to do their daily tasks, watch some short videos, and then go to sleep.

They don't have that much energy, nor are they very willing to spend time trying new things.

That's why the marketing and promotion were not ideal, the momentum wasn't built up, and the game didn't generate enough buzz when it was launched.

Polaris is not a penguin or a pig farm; it doesn't have that much brand recognition, and therefore doesn't have that much of a marketing advantage.

Relying on quality and word-of-mouth is actually the least effective approach for mobile games; if they don't generate enough buzz initially, they're unlikely to take off later.

Because those big companies aren't stupid. Once the game is released, they'll definitely see that The Gate of Destiny's model has great potential, it just doesn't have enough hype.

The next day, a game that imitated this gameplay would be launched in their company.

"The Gate of the End" is a game that focuses on social interaction and online dungeons. When the developers have deep pockets and launch a massive advertising campaign, many people will find that everyone around them is playing other games with the same gameplay, so there's no reason for them to play this one, even if it's more fun.

Therefore, it's actually quite easy to grab a piece of the mobile game market.

The reason why pesticides can outlast other MOBA mobile games is not just because they are fun.

If such a thing happens, Polaris will have no chance of turning things around.

Having thought it through, the problem has become quite simple.

Either they can seize the entire market as soon as the server launches three months later, leaving other companies with only scraps.

Either way, it's a dead end.

"Why is it that everything I do seems to lack the right opportunity? I'm not Zhuge Liang..."

Chen Lu muttered to himself, sighed softly, and continued to look out the window at the night.

What he didn't see was that Liang Zhirou was standing quietly by the corner of the wall, keeping him company.

That night, for as long as Chen Lu sat alone in front of the sofa, Liang Zhirou leaned against the wall and kept him company.

The next morning.

With dark circles under his eyes, Chen Lu finished washing up and prepared to return to the company.

Even though there's not much to do there, it can at least reassure the employees.

Just as they reached the entrance, Liang Zhirou, who had been following behind him the whole time, suddenly stopped and gently tugged at the hem of his clothes.

Chen Lu turned around and saw the girl looking at him timidly.

"I...I want to go with you..."

Chen Lu tilted his head. "Why did you suddenly decide to come to the company with me?"

"Miaomiao said she would teach me to draw, child... Mom will be coming over to help her later."

"Can she still teach you now?"

"Among three people walking together, there must be one who can teach me. We should learn from others' strengths." Liang Zhirou said seriously, her little face puffed out.

Chen Lu chuckled; this simpleton couldn't even come up with a reason.

He heard a knock on the door, opened it to see, and sure enough, it was Wang Xiaoxia.

The moment Wang Xiaoxia saw him, her eyes welled up with tears. She stepped forward and gently rubbed his face. "If the company goes bankrupt, we can just close it down. What can't we do? You have to be okay. If anything happens to you, Mom won't be able to live either..."

"No, how could my company go bankrupt? Besides, Mom, am I that fragile?" Chen Lu twitched his lips. "Even if we don't make it through this time, it's just that the ten million I worked so hard to earn will go down the drain."

Chen Lu paused for a moment after speaking.

So, more than ten million yuan just went down the drain.

Something's off.

It seems like nobody would believe that I said that.

Wang Xiaoxia naturally didn't believe him. "You didn't? You didn't do well on your final exams and stayed out until midnight. Have you forgotten that? Your father and I were so worried we almost called the police."

"I went to the internet cafe under the pretense of relaxing..."

Chen Lu stopped mid-sentence, quickly covering his mouth and silently taking two steps back, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at Wang Xiaoxia.

Fortunately, Wang Xiaoxia remained expressionless.

"Mom, I have such a good wife, and a son and a daughter... Even if the company goes bankrupt, I'm happy enough. How could I possibly be depressed?" Chen Lu shrugged.

He may be worried now, but to say he's completely despondent is an exaggeration.

Since I have no debts, I'll have the opportunity to start over or do something else if I want to. At most, it just won't be as profitable as starting my own company.

Not to mention that back then, Grandpa Yin forced him to pass the bar exam, giving him another way out now.

Wang Xiaoxia was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked troubled. "You've said everything I wanted to say, what am I supposed to say?"

"Then I won't say anything. I'm perfectly fine now."

"Why don't you let me look after these two kids for you, and you and Zhirou go on a trip to relax?" Wang Xiaoxia gently patted Liang Zhirou's shoulder, and Liang Zhirou nodded quickly.
