The next day was the launch day of "The Gate of the End".
Just as Liang Zhirou and all the well-known content creators who were streaming, as well as players who were looking forward to the game, squeezed into the game.
They suddenly discovered that there was a problem with the login rewards in their email.
The email clearly stated that six Firestones would be given as a gift, which are items used to draw characters.
In reality, a full sixty were sent.
These are basically items that can only be purchased with a single order, meaning you need to recharge 648 yuan.
This bug appeared for about two hours and was then fixed urgently.
Sure enough, two groups of people appeared on various forums shortly afterward.
A group of people who happened to get it for free, or who saw it while watching a live stream out of boredom, and immediately went to download it.
He flaunted it everywhere, as if afraid others wouldn't know he'd gotten a good character using free Firestones.
The other group who missed it became increasingly envious and were already sending their insults to Jiang Chao himself.
As for why Jiang Chao, rather than Chen Lu, was criticized...
This story begins several years ago, when Polaris was first established, and Chen Lu secretly attributed the title of "planner" to Jiang Chao.
That morning, Polaris was trending on Weibo for all the wrong reasons. Countless content creators, smelling the opportunity for traffic, produced countless videos criticizing the show within hours.
In the afternoon, seeing that the time was right, Chen Lu quickly convened a small press conference that was broadcast live.
Polaris is no longer a small company; it can now organize press conferences of this caliber.
As the founder, he personally issued an apology statement and announced that Peng Leyun, the supervisor who caused the bug by filling in the wrong code, would be suspended for three months.
Then the employee who stopped sending emails without asking permission was severely punished.
"Wait a minute, did you punish the person who stopped sending emails?" A reporter, noticing something amiss, suddenly asked.
“Yes.” Chen Lu nodded slightly. “We promise not to roll back the data, nor will we pursue the players who have already spent these Firestones.”
[No, why should we? Are those who logged in earlier your dads?]
When will this Sword Tomb Company die?!
[This game is trash! Even if you beg me on your knees, I won't spend a single penny on it again!]
Are people who still pretend to be rational and objective really saints?
Just as the barrage of insults was flying everywhere.
Chen Lu then slowly said, "Players who missed the server launch due to this bug are expected to receive a replacement email from us tonight, and players who register for the game within three days will still receive this email."
[Damn it, Dad!]
[You're saying everyone received 648, does that mean nobody received it?]
[Did the one above come from a forum for people with intellectual disabilities?]
[From now on, I am a gatekeeper.]
[Polaris is my father, you're not allowed to insult him!]
"Mr. Chen, why within three days?" another reporter asked.
Chen Lu gave an incredibly honest smile, looking like a college student just entering society. "I need to make money, I can't exactly do charity, I still have two toddlers at home."
"Wouldn't this be a bit unfair to players who register later?"
Clearly, not all the journalists were either favorable to Polaris or neutral in their attitude.
But this is exactly what Chen Lu was waiting for.
"Players who register three days later will also receive the same number of flints."
Chen Lu said in a very serious tone, "However, we will add these flints to the later beginner quests. Players only need to play for a week to complete all the quests and receive these rewards."
...
at the same time.
Polaris is in complete chaos.
"Peng Leyun! How dare you come to the company?"
"Don't stop me! Both bosses are away, I'm going to kill him for Brother Lu!"
The noise from the programming team never stopped.
Because she was worried that someone would spread the truth that Chen Lu had orchestrated the whole thing, Peng Leyun refused to admit it and insisted that she had entered the wrong number when she was coding.
As a result, he became the target of public criticism, and to this day he has not only never received a kind look, but has also been subjected to a lot of abuse.
He was almost beaten up by other senior employees.
It can only be said that he understood everything except the deeper meaning behind Chen Lu's suspension of him.
I'm just afraid he'll get beaten up.
Even though he was constantly being targeted, he still didn't say anything.
Seeing that the press conference had ended, Lin Miaomiao quickly grabbed Xiao Jie, who was holding a flowerpot and was about to fight Peng Leyun.
With tears in her eyes, Xiaojie asked, "Sister Miaomiao, Brother Lu and the boss's wife are so good to you, why are you stopping me?"
Lin Miaomiao shook her head thoughtfully and didn't speak for a while.
She originally wanted to hang Peng Leyun up and beat her.
But as things have progressed to this point, based on her understanding of Chen Lu, she has already sensed that something is amiss.
If her guess is true, then she can't explain it.
They pulled this stunt behind everyone's back in the company...
Suddenly, I felt that Chen Lu was a bit scary.
This guy's brain... if he hadn't made games, he probably would have been rich by now, right?
The next day.
After all the drama subsided, Chen Lu remained at home as if nothing had happened, when he suddenly received a message.
Peng Leyun: Brother Lu, our game is now number one on the download charts, a huge lead! This is a done deal!
Chen Lu: Send a skin activation code to Mr. Li, who withdrew his investment at the previous meeting, saying it's my share of the profits for him.
...
When the two children were a little over two years old, Chen Lu did two things.
