Chapter 229 Senior Citizens' E-sports 13



In the later stages of "Yinggu"

Following the conclusion of the national competition for "The Secret of Penglai Island" in the first half of the year, Penglai Island and its surrounding transit port cities instantly became incredibly popular, with various travel agencies launching "Three-day, two-night Penglai Island tour packages, minimum 54 participants required for departure."

Of course, there are also small, exclusive groups of twelve or six people. Feiyang Hotel has been receiving frequent calls from heads of various travel agencies recently, hoping to cooperate.

Despite repeated expansions, Fei Yang Hotel could not accommodate all tour groups, ultimately forcing them to rotate between different groups. Fortunately, there are many guesthouses on the island, giving travel agencies more options.

The island's residents' children, who had left home, all returned, cleaning up their yards to welcome this wave of enthusiastic tourists. As for the price increases, Sheng Yiyi's "Things on the Island" program conducted several surprise inspections.

Fortunately, the islanders have noticed the increasing number of tourists and know that these tourists won't just come once. As long as Feiyang Entertainment remains on the island, there will be no shortage of business. They have a long-term source of income and are cooperating by regulating prices.

The poster for the national finals of "The Secret of Penglai Island" was displayed on the advertising board at the entrance of Feiyang Entertainment.

Looking at the huge poster, Lin Xiaoxiao felt a little emotional. Why did she choose such a long name back then? She should have chosen a four-character name. But now that the animation and game are popular, netizens have automatically shortened it to "The Secret of Penglai," which doesn't sound catchy at all.

However, the number of sponsors attracted to the game's tournaments in the second half of the year is simply countless. It's one thing for snack factories to produce popsicles, cold drinks, and spicy snacks, but even furniture factories have come. It's hard to believe that these are the tournaments held overseas.

The person in charge of games at NEX Corporation wanted to seek help from Feiyang Games to purchase prizes.

When Lin Xiaoxiao saw the message, she couldn't help but wonder: do elderly people in China like eggs and rice, and do people abroad like them too?

However, considering the soaring prices of eggs abroad recently, Lin Xiaoxiao decisively changed the overseas freebies. Good heavens, at the current prices, how much would it cost to buy just one egg!

Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes suddenly lit up. Since there are many old state-owned enterprises that cooperate with her, why not use the peony-patterned bowls, chopsticks and tableware they make, along with cheap tea from a century-old brand, which looks pretty good? Play a game and get 50 grams of cheap tea as a gift. If you win, you get an extra bowl. If you win ten games, you get a whole set of peony tableware.

How meaningful! Add some tableware or something, and give away small appliances in the regional competition, such as a set of traditional Chinese porcelain teapots and teacups with old-fashioned patterns. I believe that would be very popular.

This is a good opportunity for these old domestic factories to clear out their inventory. Although they are all selecting items that cannot be sold domestically, the prices should still be in line with international standards. Otherwise, they would look down on foreigners.

Common prosperity, that's great!

After Lin Xiaoxiao gave the instructions, she compiled a list, revised the manufacturers' quotes, and sent the packaged prices to the person in charge of NEX Company.

When Lin Xiaoxiao received the other person's thanks, she suddenly choked on her water. No, even if she thanked them several times over, it still wasn't enough!

Damn it!!

In the second half of the year, the regional competitions in China also added prizes, such as massage chairs, complete sets of furniture, smart appliances, etc. Although they are not international big brands, the workmanship of the old domestic factories is not bad.

The number of teams that registered for the "Secret of Penglai Island" audition exceeded nine thousand worldwide. Lin Xiaoxiao was stunned when she saw this number and the world record that had gone viral.

There were four or five thousand teams in China that signed up to participate. Lin Xiaoxiao really didn't expect that there were so many elderly people over fifty years old in China.

What Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know was that many senior citizen universities across the country were offering e-sports courses, and even two classes were not enough to meet the demand. Some savvy bloggers saw the opportunity and transformed from popular gaming bloggers at the He Group into gaming mentors.

"Today's live-streamed lesson is also available as a recording. For those uncles and aunts who want to learn more, join our fan group for all replays for only 9.9 yuan. Of course, there are also free live-streamed lessons every day. No new maps will be added this second half of the year. Feiyang Games says they will add two new maps next year, but the number of characters will remain at ten, so the difficulty level won't increase. As long as you master your chosen characters, the game will still be very fun. Uncles and aunts, follow us early to get the latest news from Feiyang Games! Thank you for the little red flower from 'Heart as Still as Water'!!! Wishing you boundless happiness and longevity!!"

"Look, everyone! This character is really easy to play. Just click here and then click here. If you didn't see it clearly, no worries, we'll do it again. Everyone, please follow us! We stream every night at 6 PM. You can learn while you're having dinner, and you can even sign up for the competition next year. The champion gets a pure gold trophy!! And if you're still unsure, do you need any furniture or appliances? No, you can get new ones! If you win, they'll all be delivered to your door for free, including installation and after-sales service. That won't do! You can check out the Red Appliances livestream; they've already mentioned that installation and after-sales service are included."

Of course, with such a popular game, how could mobile phone manufacturers be absent? Lin Xiaoxiao smiled as she looked at Lin Tianxue, who had already invested a huge sum of money.

Lin Tianxue never expected that this game competition would have such a huge impact. From three-year-old children to eighty-year-olds and even one-hundred-year-old seniors, everyone knows about it.

Some neighborhoods even organized teams of elderly people living alone, who happily competed with other neighborhoods every day, and didn't miss the registration for the second half of the year.

The Pingshan County team won the runner-up title in the national competition in the first half of the year, which directly brought the city of Pingshan to the attention of the national audience. There were visitors, tourists, and even donations of money and roads.
