Chapter 108 You Know Nothing About Relationships

Being a newbie also has its advantages.

At least it was reasonable for the newbie to "fry the fish", regardless of whether he knew about it or not. From the official standpoint of the game, the newbie should definitely not be punished.

At most... let him get promoted faster!

If he is really a newbie and has a very powerful graphics card, and once he enters the immortal path it is like returning home, causing great suffering to all living beings on the immortal path, then we can only manipulate it behind the scenes and let him quickly reach where he should be.

For example.

If ordinary players want to advance step by step and become Immortal Kings or Immortal Emperors, they will have to fight at least hundreds of games on the road to becoming immortals.

But if it is a newbie with a "very good foundation" and a natural potential to become an Immortal Emperor, then you have to open a back door to let him get promoted quickly, so that he won't be a nuisance to the Great Emperors and Supremes at the lower level.

This is a shady operation.

Although it is very hidden and there is no need to worry about being discovered by players, it is okay even if it is discovered.

Chen Ba can even confront those players who spread rumors: "Do you like being bombarded?"

No way? This is the road to becoming an immortal! No one would enjoy the feeling of being hit in the face with 24G video memory and the graphics card girl wailing and crying, right? If there is, it's too abnormal!

The reward for the Mid-Autumn Festival event of "Star Emperor" was finally won by a hardworking player.

This is a real liver emperor! He didn't open a small account to fish, and he played all ranked games, so his win rate was not very high. But he was really too liver-intensive, and Chen Ba was shocked, fearing that he would die suddenly.

120 games a day, assuming an average of 10 minutes per game, he had to play for at least 20 hours. During the three-day event, he played games the entire time except for eating and going to the bathroom.

This is so annoying...

Although the reward of 4090 is quite attractive, it is really unnecessary to work so hard.

When Chen Ba sent him the prize, he also sent him an extra box of health products and left a note reminding him to have a good rest. He said he could play games at any time, but physical health was the top priority.

To be honest, he was too scared.

If this player died suddenly at home while trying to get first place in the event, and this was reported by unscrupulous media, one can imagine the pressure of public opinion that Tianba Studio would face.

Game companies are most afraid of this type of players, because they are so hardworking that they are willing to sacrifice their own lives.

When you meet this kind of player, everyone has to give him some advice and tell him that there is no need to fight so hard.

It's just a 4090...

Brother, please don’t do this. I’m afraid you will die suddenly in front of the computer, and then "Star Emperor" and even Tianba Studio will be criticized by the whole network!

"Speaking of the Internet blasting..."

Xiao Lu suddenly thought of something, so he asked, "Brother Ba, do you know a digital zone UP host named Hail?"

"Hail? I don't know!"

Chen Ba shook his head.

He doesn't like to watch the digital area, and he has no good feelings towards those so-called digital UP masters. Because in his opinion, the digital circle is as abstract and stinky as the car review circle, which is full of dogs raised by various manufacturers barking.

They claim to be independent and objective, and that they have no manufacturer recharges, but when you open their profile, all they say is "For business cooperation, please contact xxxx."

The comment section is also very interesting.

Under the leadership of these digital bloggers, a large group of fans, who don’t know whether they are really paid or have been fooled, follow the bloggers to attack friendly companies and curse each other.

Too abstract!

Precisely because he had a very bad impression of the digital circle, he didn’t pay much attention to those so-called big V bloggers.

"Binghai is a well-known digital technology UP host with millions of fans in Pili Pili."

Xiao Lu explained: "He opened an online store, specializing in selling DIY consoles and computer hardware..."

"Today he released a video, criticizing Xianyu Digital, saying that our supply channel is unreliable and that we sell refurbished cards, which may seem like a good deal but are actually a scam."

"What's going on?"

Chen Ba was confused and asked, "Have we ever offended him? Why would he come to bite us?"

I have never heard of this person before. Logically, Xianyu Digital and Tianba Studio have no grudge against him. Why did they make a special video to discredit Xianyu Digital? Did they take money from others? That shouldn't be the case!

This kind of digital blogger should receive more money from manufacturers, but when it comes to PC hardware, all manufacturers have a good relationship with Tianba Studio, so there is no reason to hire people to smear them.

“That’s spontaneous behavior!”

Yang Dong, who pushed open the door and walked into the studio carrying a big bag of McDonald's fried chicken combo, gave his analysis after hearing the conversation between the two.

"Xiao Lu also said that he runs an online store selling assembled computers and PC hardware."

After sharing the hot chicken legs and wings between the two, Yang Dong wiped his hands and said, "It's obvious that they are unhappy about their business being taken away, so they want to throw dirty water on us!"

A very low form of revenge.

But it must be said that this trick is very effective, because he has a lot of fans, and if people follow the crowd, it may really affect the reputation and business of Xianyu Digital.

"I just responded to his video, but it was deleted within a few seconds."

Zhang Xiaojuan, who is in charge of the studio's official account operations, took out a cup of Coke from her bag and complained: "Not only did they delete the comments, they also blocked me directly. It's so shameless!"

“This kind of person is like this.”

Chen Ba bit a chicken leg and said, "What did he say in the video? Does it meet the conditions for prosecution?"

"I looked at it and found that he spoke in a very slick way, beating around the bush and using a sarcastic tone. It was hard to find any substantial evidence."

Xiao Lu curled his lips and said, "Although the audience knows who he is talking about, he did not mention the name directly, and he also kept distancing himself from the matter. I heard that a friend said..."

This set of rhetoric is so mature.

I heard from friends that he just refused to admit that he was fabricating facts and making things up.

No one cared how many bowls of noodles Liuzi had eaten. Everyone just wanted to see Liuzi perform a caesarean section to prove his innocence.

"We don't need to prove our innocence."

After eating the chicken leg and sucking on the chicken bones, Chen Ba said, "Don't worry, someone will clarify the truth for us."

Xianyu Digital even dares to snatch the business of the official flagship store, so why would it be afraid of a small digital blogger?

Boy, have you ever seen someone with connections?

After such a long time, isn't there anyone who is jealous of Xianyu Digital's booming business?

Of course there is.

But why others dare not move? Have you ever thought about this question?

To deal with such a person, Chen Ba would not personally get involved in an argument with him or engage in a meaningless war of words.

It just so happened that these two days, Lao Huang and Su Ma were both in Lin'an to attend the so-called "Global Artificial Intelligence Summit Forum", and Lin'an is not far from Jiangning, and it only takes a short drive to get there.

"Wait for my good news!"

After saying this, Chen Ba requisitioned Wang Kun's newly bought Volvo and rushed to Lin'an at full speed.

No one knows what he did.

Anyway, in the evening, Chen Ba returned to Jiangning and handed a photo and two videos to Xiaoxin, the customer service representative of Xianyu Digital next door.

Then……

All those who were paying attention to this incident, especially those in the digital circle who were waiting for Tianba Studio to come forward to clarify the matter, saw a jaw-dropping scene.

Xianyu Digital updated the product description.

Among the many graphics card products, the product introduction picture has an additional picture of "a strange man hugging Su Ma on the left and Lao Huang on the right", a photo of the three of them smiling and giving thumbs up.

Then there are two videos.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The first segment featured Huang, and it was obvious that he was very busy. He casually praised Tianba Studio and "Star Emperor" but didn't say anything nonsense.

The second paragraph is very sincere. In front of the camera, Su Ma praised Tianba Studio and "Star Emperor", saying that this is the coolest Chinese game she has ever seen. AMD values ​​the Chinese market and is happy to work hand in hand with game developers like Tianba Studio...

"If you don't understand, then ask, who is this young man in a red hoodie?"

"Brother Ba! The man behind Xianyu Digital, Brother Ba from Tianba Studio!"

"Fuck! Is the background of Xianyu Digital so strong? I thought they would at most issue a clarification announcement, but I didn't expect..."

"It's so funny! They've even moved Old Huang and Su Ma out, is Hail still here? Does your face hurt?"

One photo and two videos silenced half of the digital world.

As for Hail, the UP host in the digital zone who was the first to stir up trouble and question the purchasing channels of Xianyu Digital, he deleted the video immediately in an attempt to cover up the matter.

But how could everyone let him go? Didn’t they say that Xianyu Digital was a black shop with no reliable channels for getting goods, and that all it sold were second-hand and refurbished graphics cards? Didn’t they say that their channels for getting goods were the most reliable on the Internet, that genuine goods were guaranteed, and that they were also a first-class distributor of Darenshuo?

How come they seem more reliable than you? As for Binghail claiming to be a first-class distributor, Darenshuo immediately came out to clarify: There is no such thing! Xianyu Digital is our best online distributor! What a joke...

How valuable is it to be a first-level distributor of Darenshuo? Even Xianyu Digital can’t get it, it’s just the best distributor representative of the online sales channel.

Now that things have come to this, there is no more hail.

Although he deleted the video and wanted to move on from the incident as soon as possible, the influence of Chen Ba pulling Lao Huang and Su Ma out to support him was too great.

Not to mention, Intel's official account, which appeared out of nowhere, also added a comment in the comment section: "I'm also very familiar with Brother Ba! "Shy""

Quite familiar indeed.

Chen Ba did not expect that Intel would also join in the fun.

But he changed his mind and realized that Intel had just sponsored the "Golden Age" league and was going to form a team to participate in the competition. Xianyu Digital also sold Intel's CPUs, so the relationship was indeed good.

It's okay! The most important thing for a gang is to have enough brothers. Unfortunately! In other circles, Chen Ba's words may be useless, but in the PC hardware circle, he really has a lot of brothers...

Why question anything else? Why question Xianyu Digital's procurement channels?

You can tell at first glance that they are related people! It's like a certain institution that only recruits PhDs and masters, and only recruits three people, but you find that four people have completed the entry procedures, and one of them has an ordinary bachelor's degree...

You can question the professional abilities of those three PhDs and Masters, but you cannot question that ordinary undergraduate!

Without him, the company might not recruit anyone, and the other three people wouldn't have a chance to join.

Unfortunately, Xianyu Digital is that relative company.

Although it looks like just an ordinary online store and there is nothing special about it, this store can always get scarce 4090 or even 7900 goods.

Relationship households, so scary! Speaking of this, Xiao Lu and Yang Dong were actually very curious, what did Brother Ba do in Lin'an that made Old Huang and Su Ma agree to cooperate with him to shoot such an awkward short video? "Nothing!"

"I just told them about the situation of the Golden Era League." Chen Ba explained.

Golden Era League?

Hearing this, Yang Dong, Xiao Lu and others all became interested.

"It seems the team isn't complete yet?"

"Yes……"

Chen Ba thought for a moment, then replied, "Currently, only twelve teams have confirmed their registration. Other interested companies either lack people or don't take it seriously."

Based on this premise, he was not prepared to wait any longer.

Twelve teams are twelve teams. It is a little less, but all the participating teams have extraordinary origins. The most important thing is to build the reputation of the league first.

As for the number of teams, once the competition becomes famous, new manufacturers will naturally join in.

"Is it held in Jiangning again?"

"No! Jiangning is only the first stop. There will be Zhonghai Station, Pengcheng Station, and nine cities abroad, a total of twelve stops."

Chen Ba introduced the detailed competition system.

The Golden Era League of "Star Emperor" adopts a circuit tournament model. There are twelve teams in the league, so twelve stations will be set up to decide the twelve station champions.

The final champion, the champion among champions, will be decided based on the points throughout the year! The champion of each race will receive a prize of $200,000, and the annual champion will receive $3 million! This is a huge sum, especially for a game like Star Emperor. Players may never have dreamed that the prize money for a less popular game could be so high.

Where does the bonus come from?

A small part is paid by Tianba Studio, but the proportion is very low. The bulk of the prize money still comes from sponsors such as Intel, AMD and Nvidia.

There are 12 races, and each race champion gets $200,000, which adds up to $2.4 million in prize money! Add to that the $3 million for the annual champion, and the cumulative prize pool has reached a terrifying $5.4 million...

Equivalent to nearly 40 million RMB! What does this mean? In terms of prize money alone, Golden Era is already one of the best e-sports competitions, not much different from Dota2 and League of Legends, which are familiar to many players.

If this were a popular game, it would be fine, but setting such a high prize would be understandable.

But "Star Emperor" is a relatively unpopular game, and the number of players may only be a fraction of that of League of Legends.

In this situation, when Tianba Studio released an announcement detailing the "Golden Age" schedule, competition system and prize money standards, players across the Internet were stunned.

What is Star Emperor? How come a game that no one has ever heard of has a higher prize pool than the League of Legends World Championship? And a glance at the participating teams will reveal...

Oh my! This is incredible!

AMD, Intel, Dell, Sapphire, Star, and Jubaojia... are all top manufacturers in the PC digital circle.

This is different from e-sports clubs with "naming" nature such as JDG, BLG, and TES.

Because these manufacturers are not just sponsoring, but personally participating! The players are employees, and the team uniforms are work uniforms! (End of this chapter)
