God of War Luo Li
Who is this
No promotion fees were paid!
Zhou Yizhou quickly checked the other party's information, and soon, several key words immediately popped up.
【The first player to be awarded the Sniper Medal!】
[Holder of the title of "God of War"!]
【Time Journey: One-Life Clearance Creator!】
【Bitter Journey Second Dimension Veteran Artist!】
"It's the player from Time Travel"
"... in the early morning, I turned to playing "Out of Control Accompaniment" again."
Zhou Yizhou's throat moved.
"Don't these 2D characters sleep?"
"Take a nap, and when you wake up the game will be up, right?"
“Is the purchasing power of the 2D world so strong now?”
A bunch of questions popped up in Zhou Yizhou's mind, but no matter what, it was a good thing that the game became popular!
He just doesn't know much about this game, so he still needs to find a professional.
After hesitating for a while, he picked up his phone and made a call.
"Hey Qianli"
…
[The user you dialed is currently out of service area.]
Zhou Yizhou: ""
Dial another one.
"Hello, Wang Hao?"
[Beep...beep, the number you dialed is powered off.]
“…”
Gongmin also played, and the result was:
[Sorry, the user you dialed...]
Zhou Yizhou:!!!
"No, the three of you ascended together, right?"
"We really just took a plane together to go for team building!"
The backend is overflowing! Data is skyrocketing! Platform alert! Content is trending!
All of this requires you three people from the Camera Obscura Studio!
As a result, you just evaporated!
I guess he was on the plane. I don’t know where he went.
"What a big heart! I really envy today's young people!"
“…”
Zhou Yizhou stared at the screen full of user messages, sighed and rubbed his temples.
have to!
Don't even think about sleeping tonight, just go to the company and work overtime!
…
The next morning, the sun was shining brightly.
Lu Ming was holding the freshly brewed red date and wolfberry tea, yawning as he prepared to check the backstage.
"Today is another simple and unpretentious day!"
"The popularity of 'Time Journey' hasn't even died down yet, but 'Out of Control Accompaniment'... should be completely gone soon."
He clicked on the background, and the next second, he suddenly became alert!
“…”
"How did the total downloads exceed 100,000?"
Lu Ming looked at the screen and saw that the download volume of "Out of Control Accompaniment" was still rising rapidly.
The comments section was filled with text he couldn't understand:
"The ancient style of the Song Dynasty, the modern armed style, the alchemy fantasy style, the Northeast folk music style, our two-dimensional world is about to rise!"
"The Weibo #WarWordChallenge# has officially begun, everyone is welcome to sign up!"
"I hope Jingyue can launch an official battle word certification system, and even better, organize a Chinese second-word competition!"
"Brilliant! Using shame as a blade and voice as a sword, you will usher in the trend of the times—Whale Leap Lu Ming, the Enlightener of our Souls!"
"It's youth, it's expression, it's romance, it's a cry, it's the last line of poetry shouted before hurting the enemy!"
“…”
Looking at the comment section filled with rave reviews, Lu Ming felt that reading comprehension wasn't this difficult when he was a kid.
What's going on? Lu Ming immediately made a video call to Lao Zhou.
“…”
"Old Zhou, please explain. You just said that the popularity of "Out of Control Accompaniment" is off the charts."
"Yes, Mr. Lu, starting from 3 a.m., the search popularity of game keywords has skyrocketed."
"At 6am on Weibo, the third most searched topic."
"At 8 o'clock, the hot posts on the forum will be pinned to the top."
Lu Ming's head buzzed, but he still didn't understand.
"...Wait, I remember when this game was launched, wasn't it all negative reviews?"
"Don't players feel ashamed to death?"
“How did it become so popular in the blink of an eye?”
“Isn’t it possible for this game to go viral?”
Lao Zhou spoke cautiously.
"It's not out of the circle, Mr. Lu."
Lu Ming was stunned on the spot:
"Isn't this out of the ordinary? Then explain it to me now."
"Why does this relatively unpopular game suddenly have so many downloads?"
Zhou Yizhou stood still, opened the analysis chart in his hand, and his tone remained calm:
"Mr. Lu, do you know the second dimension?"
"Second Dimension"
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment. He had heard of this word before. It was also mentioned in the comment section.
"You mean that... anime otaku circle?"
"It's still that... the cosplay anime merchandise with katakana."
"They are the group of people who like to wear black cloaks, carry big swords, and speak in the language of otaku."
Old Zhou on the other end of the video was silent for a moment, considering his tone.
"About... that's it."
"But their ecology is more complex than we imagined."
Lu Ming blinked, obviously still not understanding.
Lao Zhou didn't answer immediately, but sent a document directly.
"Mr. Lu, I stayed up late last night to compile a summary of the information."
"I want to explain to you...what has 'Out of Control Accompaniment' become in the eyes of these people?"
"It's a good opportunity to study the experience behind our game's positive reviews and explosive popularity!"
Lu Ming interrupted immediately,
"Just tell me why!"
"Okay, Mr. Lu, first of all."
"You're right. This game was indeed criticized at first."
“But that’s the problem!”
“People who criticize this game are basically not the target audience of this game!”
"Our target audience is these middle school and second-dimensional people!"
"They like games that can be used as memes."
"So, the game we have now is one where players who like it can't stop playing, and those who don't like it are completely uninterested!"
Lu Ming was startled: "Ah"
Lao Zhou nodded and pointed at the data lines:
"Mr. Lu, I studied the user profile of this game overnight."
"Over 90% of this game's downloaders are anime and manga fans, 70% of whom have a background in otaku culture, and 30% have experience in dubbing, voice acting, scriptwriting, and other related fields. Furthermore, they are almost all young people!"
"Now, they use this game as a skill assessment software, a club interview tool, and a stage for their second-year performances."
"The live broadcast of this game and the discussion within the comics community are really great!"
Lu Ming: “…”
"Say it again."
“What are they doing with this game?”
"Club Recruitment"
"Assessment and Selection"
"Chuunibyou Soul Test"
"Yes."
“And it’s not just colleges and universities.”
Zhou Yizhou continued to scroll through the screen.
"Last night, several voice actor groups also forwarded it, saying that this game is a great tool for testing new voice lines."
Lao Zhou took a deep breath and showed it directly on the computer.
"Mr. Lu, look, this is a video from yesterday's forum."
"The title is: [A Review of the 128-Yuan Shame Extreme Game — We've Entrusted All Club Recruitment to It]."
"570,000 views, and over 40,000 reposts, comments, and likes."
"The comments section was filled with comments like 'Thunderous corn kernel explosion' and 'Quacking windmill'..."
"They've already treated 'Out of Control Accompaniment' as... a stage for their own immature performances."
"And not just any ordinary game."
The expression on Lu Ming's face gradually became stiff.
"Why do you sound so abnormal?"
What is a performance stage?
Lao Zhou continued,
"Because in their eyes..."
"Chuunibyou is not a joke, it's a belief."
“Shame is the only way to test your soul.”
"And 'Out of Control Accompaniment' provides a platform for casting spells with sound."
"Now they've reached a consensus, calling this game: A Special Tool for Entry-Level Assessments in the Anime Circle! And calling it a must-play game for those entering the Anime Circle!"
"It's okay if you can't pass the test, but you must know the words!"
Lu Ming: “…”
"Is this game's rating system... so serious?"
Old Zhou nodded.
“The system is very serious.”
“Players are more serious.”
"Mr. Lu, open the Deep Blue platform now and search for the keyword 'Out of Control Accompaniment'. You'll find rankings of chuunibaku terms, word scoring lists, and templates for building moves."
"Some people even uploaded videos of themselves practicing war words, specifically explaining how to adjust the tone, pronunciation, and rhythm."
"What's even more outrageous is..."
Old Zhou paused, turned to the next page, and said with a complicated tone:
"Many players have already said that our Whale Leap game is the holy land of the two-dimensional world, and even gave us a very interesting nickname: the Divine Whale Group!"
Lu Ming: “…”
He stood there in silence for ten seconds.
"us"
"God Whale Group"
"You're crazy! Do you really think that as long as I'm crazy, the whole world will give in to me?"
"Where are those three people from the secret room? Hurry and ask them to come to the company!"
"They can't come, Mr. Lu. They left the country last night. Three people, three different places. All at your suggestion."
“…”
