Chapter 98: Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Disappearance of a Certain Degree

Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Disappearance of a Certain Degree

Wang Xin: ……

He couldn't speak.

Because…… Wang Xin has also been playing Legend these days, and his character level is already top-tier.

After Mr. Qin remained silent for a while, he finally couldn't help but sigh.

He lost.

Mr. Qin understands data better than Wang Xin, and even better than Chen Qiao, and he also understands what these numbers represent.

He really is unwilling.

He clearly has done this well, and he has done everything he could.

Why did he still lose?

The team behind him, financial support, and the strength of his connections……

Mr. Qin is far stronger than Grand, and not just a little bit.

His team is from abroad, he has endless financial support, and anything he does in Mo Du has faced no obstruction.

So……

Why?

Lu Yu!

Suddenly, a child's image flashed in Mr. Qin's mind.

Mr. Qin remembers first meeting Lu Yu at a banquet; even then, Lu Yu left a deep impression on him.

Then came the Xie Lin incident.

It is certain that Grand now belongs to Chen Qiao, and Chen Qiao looks to Lu Yu for leadership.

In other words, Mr. Qin didn't lose to Grand, nor to Chen Qiao, but to Lu Yu!

How is that possible?

Mr. Qin's face is full of disbelief.

But…… this is the fact!

What kind of divine being is this child called Lu Yu?

Only this thought remains in Mr. Qin's mind.

……

The next day, various portal sites and even newspapers had news of Grand Plan.

One could even say that Sword and Far Away occupied absolute news share.

And these news mostly talk about Sword and Far Away's download volume, and discuss Grand Plan's future development.

For a time, Grand Plan seemed to become the nation's top game company.

This heat lasted a full three days.

During this process, hardly anyone mentioned Grand, nor spoke of Legend.

However, Grand's people aren't anxious at all, because they saw the backend data.

Grand's download volume is still increasing, simultaneously the number of online players is increasing, and players' average online time is growing……

The data couldn't be better.

And now, on the fourth day, finally a netizen discovered this, then compiled it into a microblog post and posted it online.

"Everyone, have you noticed a problem?"

"These days, Sword and Far Away has almost occupied all the news pages; its momentum is fierce, beyond belief."

"As a result, we overlooked a company, a game."

"Grand's Legend."

"If someone pays attention, they will find that Legend's total download volume is already extremely close to that of Sword and Far Away!"

"Why would this happen?"

"You should know, Grand Plan spent great effort on promotion, while Grand hardly promoted at all."

"This probably all comes down to the game itself."

"Anyone who has played Legend knows what kind of game it is."

"Put it this way: as long as you've played Legend, you're surely still striving to level up your character."

"But those who have played Sword and Far Away might… only think of it when they're bored."

"Why?"

"Because Legend is just such a game that you can't put down."

"Sword and Far Away used their promotion to grab everyone's attention, while Legend used its quality to retain all the players."

"The last sentence can be said to be the finishing touch."

Countless players left comments following the microblog.

"Really, Legend is really fun; I'm already level sixteen, and I should be able to level up to seventeen tonight."

"This monster-killing level-up mode is so fun, because Legend has many maps, many monsters, and killing different monsters drops different treasures, always giving a fresh feeling."

"Yesterday I got a Blood Drink drop, and someone actually wanted to trade a hundred bucks for it. This…… is really awesome; playing a game can actually earn money."

"To be honest, the most fun part is still being able to do real-person PK. Outside town, you give someone a whack with a stick, drop their gear, hahaha……"

"Is anyone forming a team to take on Zuma?"

"I want to kill Tiger Guard to get gold ingots; anyone want to join?"

Countless players followed with comments, actually pushing the microblog's heat to the top, making it the hottest post on the entire web.

Legend's popularity officially exploded.

Then……more people joined Legend.

But this is only the beginning!

Legend will eventually sweep the domestic gaming scene!

……

"Director Chen, should we hold a celebration banquet?"

"Legend has achieved unprecedented success."

The head of the Technical Department came to Chen Qiao's office and made this suggestion.

Chen Qiao chuckled and nodded his head.

The Technical Department head then said a few more words to Chen Qiao and left.

Then Chen Qiao hurried off to look for Lu Yu.

Speaking of the celebration, we naturally cannot forget the biggest contributor, Lu Yu.

But Lu Yu wasn't in the office.

Chen Qiao searched for a while and finally found Lu Yu in Technical Department One.

Lu Yu was chatting with some classmates from Mo Du Electronic Science and Technology University, looking quite serious.

Chen Qiao didn't disturb Lu Yu, just stood aside waiting, like……Lu Yu's little secretary.

After a while, Lu Yu finally finished speaking, and Chen Qiao then had the chance to approach.

"Little Yu, what……ideas do you have now?" Chen Qiao asked.

Lu Yu lightly nodded and said, "It's not a big idea; aren't a lot of people discussing Legend right now?"

"But actually these people are scattered across various forums and microblogs, unable to gather together."

"I was thinking of creating a more stable tieba so they can all gather together."

Chen Qiao didn't think it was a big deal, and lightly nodded.

He certainly didn't know what Lu Yu was doing now, or what significance this matter would have behind it.

Because of Lu Yu's current actions, it will become common knowledge in the future, and thus there probably won't be any chance for it to arise.

"Right, just now the head of the Technical Department came to see me, saying they wanted to hold a celebration banquet." Chen Qiao hadn't forgotten why he came here.

Lu Yu, however, couldn't help but furrow his brow.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Chen Qiao asked.

There is a problem, of course there is, and it's a big problem.

But Lu Yu remained expressionless, smiling at Chen Qiao, and said, "Fine, is it tonight?"

Chen Qiao nodded.

"Since it's a celebration banquet, let's have everyone from Grand participate." Lu Yu said as such.
