Chapter 193: Debu Shocked

~6 min read 1,140 words

Debu now doesn't even want to pay attention to Lu Yu; he even thinks that Lu Yu is not worth Dan Ding's high regard.

A person can fail, but without the courage to accept failure, he will never be able to climb out of the vortex of defeat.

Debu refocused his attention back on the meeting itself.

The content of this meeting was actually to arrange the upcoming game review segment.

As the Vice Chairman of the Game Alliance, Debu wields great authority and also bears heavy responsibilities.

There are fewer contestants in this round, but the number of games entered is not lacking at all.

Therefore, how to allocate personnel reasonably and fully is crucial.

For the next two hours, Debu and the others discussed and came up with a sufficiently reasonable grouping review method, then left the conference room tired and returned to his Office.

Debu sat in his Office chair, let out a big sigh of relief, and had his secretary prepare coffee, ready to rest properly.

At that moment, he noticed the computer was on, displaying the Game Alliance's official website.

Debu thought for a moment and still focused his attention on the screen.

He wanted to see whether the few game developers he was looking forward to would achieve good results this time.

Indeed, by now Debu no longer cares about Lu Yu.

A person destined to be at the bottom—what does Debu have to care about?

Then Debu saw the leaderboard and the game name at the top.

Supreme Racing Car?

Debu was unfamiliar with this game; none of the game developers he knows seem to have mentioned it!

This gave Debu a bad premonition.

He instinctively clicked the game detail page and then saw two words he had never imagined.

Lu Yu!

How could it be Lu Yu?

Debu was completely stunned.

Is the system malfunctioning?

This leaderboard of the Game Alliance is, of course, the Game Alliance's own.

However, its data collection comes from major game Download pages worldwide.

In other words, this leaderboard has actually existed for two or three weeks.

Previously, those at the top were games released earlier, whose download numbers were far ahead.

Now…

Lu Yu's game was released after midnight last night, right?

How much time has passed since then?

How could it possibly surge to first place!

Something must have gone wrong!

Or… perhaps the Technical Department was instructed by some leader to deliberately use this method to humiliate Lu Yu?

That thought is indeed a bit far-fetched, but it's the only reasonable explanation Debu can think of right now.

At that point, Debu immediately grabbed his phone and called the Technical Department's supervisor.

"What on earth is going on with the leaderboard on our Game Alliance's official website?" Debu got straight to the point.

The technical supervisor was startled and said, "Debu, what do you mean? I don't understand what you're saying."

"Are you still pretending not to know?"

"With such a huge error in the data, if you didn't specifically adjust it, how could this problem happen?"

Debu became a bit irritated, his tone grew much harsher.

"Mr. Debu, are you now questioning our Technical Department?"

"I, as the person in charge, can tell you that our Technical Department has no errors whatsoever."

"All the technology we use is the most advanced, and every step is monitored by dedicated staff."

The technical supervisor also got a bit angry, became serious, even addressing him with "Mr."

Debu was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.

"Mr. Debu, if you are dissatisfied with my work, you may raise it with headquarters at any time."

"If I truly made a mistake, I will take responsibility!"

After saying that, the technical supervisor hung up the phone directly.

Debu was stunned again.

When he finally recovered, his face was blazing with anger; he wanted to call back immediately and give the technical supervisor a good lesson.

But…

In the end, he didn't do it; after all, although the other is lower in rank, they are in different departments, and he is not technically the other's superior, making it improper to scold directly.

Thinking that, Debu gradually calmed down and refocused his attention on the computer.

His brows knit tightly.

Could it really not be a data issue?

After hesitating a moment, Debu scrolled the page down to the Comment section.

At first glance, Debu was stunned again.

Because the comments had already exceeded fifty thousand!

What a terrifying thing that is!

One could say a game's Download count may exceed a million, but its comments don't necessarily exceed a thousand!

Because everyone just came over to download the game, they don't necessarily have to leave a comment.

Just like when we download some software, who would go back specially after downloading to say a few sentences?

At that moment, Debu felt as if he had been struck by a bolt of lightning.

He felt terrible, a strong sense of unease surging up instantly.

He took a deep breath, then pulled down again and looked at the comments.

"How should I put it? Supreme Racing Car is absolutely the most fun game I've ever played, without a doubt!"

"I think the same."

"Thanks to the Game Alliance, because you organized this competition, I got the chance to play such a great game as Supreme Racing Car."

"I think I already know what I'll be doing for a long time to come: play Supreme Racing Car!"

"If just now Debu could still console himself with the idea that the data was wrong, then now……"

"Even if he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit: the data wasn't wrong!"

"Supreme Racing Car actually wiped out the download counts that others had accumulated over two or three weeks in just one night!"

"Look at these comments, look at the enthusiasm of those players hiding behind their computers……"

"Debu couldn't find any excuse anymore!"

"But all of a sudden, Debu suddenly felt his whole body go cold, trembling."

"His mind had even gone completely blank."

"\"Chairman... Chairman... \" After who knows how long, Debu heard the call and finally reacted."

"It turned out the secretary had brought him coffee."

"Debu didn't even glance at the secretary, quickly turning his attention back to the computer screen."

"He felt there was still a chance."

"He wanted to see how much the gap was between second place and first place!"

"If the gap wasn't big, Debu thought he could fully use his authority to press down on Lu Yu's Supreme Racing Car!"

"As long as it wasn't first place, it didn't matter what ranking Lu Yu got!"

"That's what Debu thought."

"Then Debu saw the three words 'Big Rich Man'."

"He immediately clicked into it."

"After that, Debu…… was dumbfounded again and again."
