In order to rush the market to the top, Liu Guoping didn't even conduct many tests. After the initial explosive popularity, it was immediately followed by players' abuse.
Within a month of the server launch, the database crashed seven or eight times. Players who couldn't stand it could simply quit the game, but those who could tolerate it simply couldn't take it anymore.
"If I had known what kind of company 'Fengyun' was, I would have blamed myself for buying the game!"
"I'd rather play the free 'Conquer the Central Plains,' it's a trash game!"
Fans of 'Conquer the Central Plains' couldn't stand it: "Please, even though 'Conquer the Central Plains' is free, its graphics are way better than 'Spring and Autumn Period'!"
One particularly angry fan compiled hundreds of slides comparing the character designs and action combos of the two games. The poorly made 'Spring and Autumn' was naturally crushed. After listing each item, the fan commented at the bottom, "'Spring and Autumn', what do you have to compare with me?"
Over time, the phrase "What do you have to compare with me in the Spring and Autumn Period?" has actually become a popular meme.
After being criticized so much, "Spring and Autumn Period Hegemony" probably won't be profitable in the future.
They try every means to force players to spend money in the game, such as reducing combat power by a certain number of points if they don't upgrade their equipment, in other words, you can't play without spending money.
It was reported directly by an angry group of players.
The database is in disarray and needs patching up; it has now been ordered to undergo rectification. The "Spring and Autumn Period Hegemony" has come to an end in this game of war.
When they were making money, Chairman Zheng called Liu Guoping "Engineer Liu," but now that they've lost money, he's calling Liu Guoping a piece of trash.
Seeing his company's business revitalized by a game and its sales soaring, Chairman Zheng was truly furious. Especially since his own game was reported for selling clothing, while the other side made it onto the profit charts by selling clothing and must have earned hundreds of millions!
"Hello, is this the Market Supervision Bureau? I want to report them! Higurashi Company attracts gamers with free games, but then tricks them into spending money during the game!"
Market Supervision Bureau: ...
Chairman Zheng: "When did you set off? When did you go to seal off the sunset?"
Because Mr. Zheng persisted in making reports, the Market Supervision Bureau eventually went to investigate, which sparked a small-scale discussion online.
After summoning Rimu for a meeting, the Market Supervision Administration did not order any rectification. Chairman Zheng was even more furious and sent in online trolls to stir up trouble, claiming that although the "Conquer the Central Plains" game didn't charge players, its egregious behavior was outrageous and it was cheating players out of their money!
"The Spring and Autumn Period Hegemony was punished, there must be something fishy about why it wasn't!"
"Hahaha, that's hilarious! This year's online trolls aren't very good, I can tell too?"
"Who hired these online trolls? Help! Their brains are practically brand new and useless, they could be sold!"
"Go back upstairs, even if you sell a brain that's 90% new, nobody will want it."
"The outfits in the game 'Conquer the Central Plains' are sold based on design; whether you wear them or not doesn't affect your game stats. I like them, so what's wrong with me buying them? But in 'Spring and Autumn War,' you're forced to buy them; they're practically stealing my food!"
"Yeah, Fengyun is a disgusting company. They did make pretty good games a few years ago, but in the end, you can never progress without spending money!"
"Gorgeous Peak Cloud! Sunset is the real conscience company. I haven't spent a single penny so far, and I have all the heroes and several free skins!"
The online army that Chairman Zheng paid for turned into a fading feast.
...
A month later, at the celebration banquet of the Sunset Company, Bai Yan went on stage to receive an award. Shen Wuye personally handed her a check for 50 million yuan and the keys to a luxury house in the center of B City worth 20 million yuan.
At that time, Higurashi Company had already recruited hundreds of people because of the large number of active players in the game.
Some people don't even know Bai Yan.
"What's going on? Giving so much money?" A man looked at Bai Yan with disdain: "Women are indeed easier to make money from, all they need is a pretty face."
"You're talking nonsense!" someone immediately retorted. "If you're capable of bringing in billions in profits for the company, do you think the boss will give you that?"
"If you're not capable, then stop spreading rumors. Even if you were given a personality change and a pretty face, you wouldn't have the ability to do it all!"
The boy was stunned: "Bai... he's Bai Yan!" In the gaming industry these days, I doubt anyone doesn't know the name Bai Yan, right?
The girl turned her head away, completely ignoring the boy who regretted his actions.
On the podium, Bai Yan held the check and villa key in her hands. She raised them high, then swung them lightly twice before leaving with a smile.
Countless people in the audience applauded.
Shen Wuye was naturally among the crowd. She was becoming more and more dazzling. She was born to be dazzling, and her light could not be blocked.
