The fame of [Storm Marbles] and [Polestar Society] is getting bigger and bigger like a snowball, and fans are spreading ten, ten and hundred, forming a lot of topics on Weibo, and a small editor wrote an article "The Current Situation of Small Studios in the Domestic Game Market", which criticized some game companies that only make money and do not want to make progress, exposing the complex market of domestic interests, as long as there is money, you can smash out the unfair competition of popularity, and pull out the conscientious team led by [Polestar Society] for comparison, but let [Polestar Society] be in the limelight.

The popularity in the search engine continues to rise, Luoxing's [Storm Marbles] click rate has surged from 100,000 to 500,000, and the ranking has soared from 500 to 80, Luoxing's wallet has also swelled a little bit, and the topic can bring heat to the game, the key is that the quality of the game must be excellent, at this point [Storm Marbles] is undoubtedly perfect, and the marble game has been done to the extreme.

Marbles have a variety of ammunition types such as scattershots, piercing bullets, and explosive bullets, as well as a QTE system with a great sense of impact, so you can play with a variety of games, and you can also cooperate or compete with friends.

Network engineer Xiao Li also had enough servers to respond to Luoxing, there were too many people playing, and Luoxing hurriedly added a few more servers.

Chu Chenghao proposed to use the fan effect at this time to send out the matter of the bet with Xunrui Company, just to hit the other party hard.

For his brother's proposal, Luo Xing has always been very obedient and did so.

The matter of Xunrui company's plagiarism of its own game, as well as the game gambling contract, was posted on the Internet, and it caused a wave of Xuanyuan, the media is not a big deal to see the excitement, before the Weibo big V said that they should support the conscience team more, they don't care at all, who cares about this kind of untopical thing? But plagiarism is different, it is an enduring hot topic, and scandalous gossip always attracts more attention.

These days, Xunrui Company has received a lot of contacts from reporters, and Mr. Chen is almost busy.

"This Luo Xing is really good at biting, poking things so big."

Team Leader Wang spread his hands: "Who knows, his team has become popular inexplicably, and now the number of clicks in the game is almost equal to ours." ”

"You have to find a way to deal with it, you can't lose this bet anyway! On the reporter's side, you can also find a way to deal with it, and in the worst case, you can take the blame and resign! ”

Team Leader Wang wants to cry without tears, and he knows that he threw it to me when he messed up, he plagiarized it at the beginning, you praised it, and now that he is out of the basket, he knows that he puts all the responsibility on me, and he can't wait to get rid of the relationship with me.

How do you make sure you don't lose your bet? Now the number of clicks of the game developed by Luoxing is about to catch up.

Team Leader Wang pondered for a while, and a flash of inspiration flashed, by the way, why don't you just go to other studios to swipe tickets!? Will the data brushed out be worse than that of Luoxing? There is no provision in the gambling contract that you can't brush it? As long as it doesn't get out, who knows? That's part of the scheme.

Thinking of this, Team Leader Wang happily went to contact the studio that is responsible for brushing data.

****

Xunrui can only be regarded as a second- or third-rate mobile game company, and does not have its own public relations team, which is a big loss.

Netizens scolded Xunrui under Weibo.

"Hey, I heard that you copied the game of the producer of the [Polestar Society], is it true?"

"Don't be a turtle with a shrunken head, you have the cheekiness to plagiarize, why don't you have the face to admit it?"

"I'm still a fan of their company, but I didn't expect it to be plagiarized, and the powder turned black."

There are many more comments like this, and Xunrui's official Weibo can only flicker: "The matter is still under investigation, and there is no comment." ”

Netizens saw that the other party did not dare to respond positively, and scolded more arrogantly and confidently.

"It must be true! What is still being investigated, it's all nonsense! ”

"That's it, garbage company, get out of the game industry!"

"I went to vote for the [Polestar Society], and this time I made a bet, I strongly supported the [Polestar Society]!"

"Here I use the trumpet to reveal a little news, I am an employee of Xunrui Company, and many people heard Luo Xing and Team Leader Wang arguing at the meeting that day, which was about the plagiarism of the planning book."

"I am a former Xunrui employee, I can testify, I also resigned and left in a fit of anger because I was plagiarized! Team Leader Wang is a personal scumbag, specializing in plagiarizing newcomers' works! ”

"The witnesses are out! Front row onlookers! ”

"Wow! It turns out that there is such a thing. ”

"You're all too easy to trust people, what if it's fake? Is it the [Polestar Society] malicious slander? I support Xunrui. ”

"That's right, it's also possible that the small team of [Polestar Society] wants to become famous!"

There are also people who defend Xunrui Company, the battle between the fans of the two sides is most intuitively reflected in the competition of game data, at present, [Storm Marbles] 900,000 hits, 90% praise, [Monster Wars] 1.05 million hits, 40% praise.

The drawbacks of [Monster Wars] rush work have finally been exposed under the test of time.

Since the game was rushed out to compete with Luo Xing's [Storm Marbles], players tried to play for a while, and soon encountered bugs such as stuck and uncontrollable, and were unanimously badly criticized.

"What a garbage game! After a few minutes of playing, it froze! ”

"Did the producers get water in their heads? This garbage game is sold without being tested? ”

"Seeing that so many people are the same as me, I am relieved to give a bad review!"

It does not have the upper hand in public opinion, and the quality of the game is not as good as Luo Xing, this time Xunrui can be said to have suffered the biggest crisis in history, and Mr. Chen is still concerned about the gambling contract, at least this last level can't be lost!

The rankings of the two sides have advanced and retreated from each other, and they are caught in fierce competition.

Luo Xing is also very concerned about the battle situation, and only by beating Xun Rui in the ranking can he really win.

The deadline is the last day of the month.

Luo Xing is extremely concerned about the game's data, [Monster Wars] ranks 26th, and [Storm Marbles] ranks 27th, only a few thousand differences.

Please, be sure to win!

Luo Xing prayed silently in front of the computer, his palms were sweating from nervousness, he had to win this bet! In order to prove his strength and talent, if he can't win in this bet, he will definitely leave an eternal dead knot in his heart, and it will be a pimple when he thinks about it in the future, but he wants to be smooth.

Chu Chenghao asked tentatively, "Why don't we go find someone else to swipe the ticket?" ”

"No way!" Luo Xing vetoed it without hesitation, and said coldly: "This is a bet to test the quality of the game, how can you win through such a despicable means as swiping tickets?" To win is to win with dignity! ”

This is Luo Xing's will and bottom line, at this point, even Chu Chenghao can't shake it, I'm afraid Luo Xing is not willing to fake his work even if he loses.

Netizens continue to vote for [Storm Marbles] and follow behind, but on the other hand, [Monster Wars] does not show any decadence, obviously the reputation is ruined, but the click rate is still growing, it seems that infamy is also part of fame.

The hour hand turns little by little.

'Click. ’

'Click. ’

'Click. ’

All that was left of Luoxing's world was the sound of bells, as if the sound of every gear in the clock could be heard clearly.

Mr. Chen also sat at the front of the computer, staring at the clock with burning eyes, there were only a few minutes left, as long as he kept this gap to win.

11:56:58 seconds.

11:57 a.m.

11:58 a.m.

59 minutes and 59 seconds.

The second hand rotates clockwise, and after 12 ticks in the last second, the minute hand jumps, and the second, minute, and hour hands all point to 12:00:00.

12 o'clock sharp! Time Deadline!

"How!?"

Everyone in the studio gathered in front of Luo Xing's computer screen, extremely nervous, and read down the rankings.

[Storm Marbles] 27 people.

【Monster Wars】26.... Narrowly won by 31 votes.

Lost.

Seeing this ranking, everyone's face sank, and no one was speechless, and they almost lost so little! This is to be angry to death! It's just a little bit close! That's just 31 votes!

Luo Xing's mobile phone rang at this time, and he glanced at the caller ID, it was Team Leader Wang.

"Hey, Luo Xing, ahaha, do you see the ranking? It was we who won. Team Leader Wang smiled reluctantly, presumably in a cold sweat.

"Well, you won."

"Hehe, we invested 1 million to do publicity, what about you? It should be a lot, there should be 800,000, and Weibo big V is also a hired water army, right? ”

"No, I only spent 100,000, and I have such results because netizens spontaneously helped, and I didn't hire a water army."

"Gah!? You didn't hire a trolls? Team Leader Wang was so frightened that Xueya screamed, it only cost 100,000 yuan to have such a huge netizen support? How is this possible? It's almost compared to the effect of 1 million publicity, and Team Leader Wang doesn't believe it: "No, you lie!" ”

"Believe it or not, but I have to admit the benefits of spending money to publicize, you spent 1 million is indeed a little better than me spending 100,000."

Team Leader Wang felt like he had been slapped in the face, his face was hot and painful, and the effect of spending 1 million on publicity was only a little better than the effect of the other party's 100,000, which was a shame! This bet is won by taking advantage of money, and if you do it again, the outcome is unpredictable, or if you invest a little less in publicity, you will lose.

"You're losing anyway! Don't forget the content of the bet! It's your hand! Team Leader Wang roared hysterically on the phone, and only the roar could give him some confidence.

"I see, come here now."

Luo Xing hung up the phone, picked up the coat on the chair, and said to his partner in the studio, "I'll go out for a while." ”

"Where to go?"

"Get something done."

Luo Xing put on his coat and went out, it is now January, the weather is getting colder, walking on the sparsely populated road, everyone wears thick clothes to resist the invasion of the cold wind.

It rarely snows in the city, and it is usually only once every few years.

This year's snow fell so heavily that even the ground was covered with soft, pure white snow, leaving clear footprints on the road.

Luo Xing walked deep and shallow, completely emotionless, very depressed and helpless when he lost the bet, but it was already very good to be able to achieve such results, from 500 to 27, it was already a miracle, the two emotions of one sad and one happy were mixed together, just canceling each other.

Luo Xing is a person who attaches great importance to commitment, taking one hand as a bet, willing to gamble and lose, he is ready to be enlightened.
