Chapter 10: Twilight, girls, warships

TikTok is currently the most popular short video APP in the Dragon Kingdom, with a daily traffic of up to 2 billion.

This is also the only case in the Dragon Kingdom that has broken the traffic monopoly of Penguin and successfully established a foothold on the Internet.

And the promotion method of the TikTok APP is generally targeted promotion, commonly known as "killing the familiar". It will record your personal preferences and recommend videos with similar preferences for you.

This day, among the young people, everyone swiped to a very novel game advertisement.

Zhang Ming is a game enthusiast. Although he is not a true two-dimensional fan, he belongs to the kind who likes watching anime very much.

Usually, when he gets home from work, he plays games, watches anime, and swipes TikTok.

Today was the same. After getting home from work, he opened his computer and clicked on an online game under Penguin.

This was the only game he was currently playing, but... the operation of the game was becoming more and more pit-like, and many players were already complaining.

"Sigh... let's see what new content has been updated."

While updating, he also clicked on the game's announcement board.

After reading for a while, his brows furrowed deeply.

He closed the webpage and clicked on the game group.

And the first group message he saw was the complaints of a group of game friends.

"What the hell! The new activities are all sending some useless materials, and the rest are all game gift packs!"

"And a 2nd-anniversary gratitude gift pack? This is a revenge gift pack, right!!"

"Spend 50 yuan to buy a pile of useless materials, and the only box worth looking at can only open good things by chance."

"Hehe~ I thought Penguin would make some progress, but it's still cheating money."

"Cheating money is one thing, but they even call it 【Gratitude Gift Pack】, it's hilarious."

"Hahaha, someone on TikTok posted a video. A streamer spent 5,000 to buy 100 gratitude gift packs, and only got one +10 reinforcement coupon, losing 4,990."

"Don't say that, the materials opened from 100 gift packs can save him 10 days of dungeon grinding, isn't that funny?"

"Goose goose goose~~ I can't even spend 5,000 yuan to hire a substitute player."

"This game is becoming more and more disappointing..."

"Penguin is still Penguin, even brainwashing players, saying 【Support Domestic Games】, how can we support it like this?"

"Sigh, forget it, I'd better go to STM to find games to play, at least I won't be treated like a leek."

Seeing these comments, Zhang Ming nodded secretly.

Relying on its large traffic, Penguin not only monopolized traffic but also blatantly plagiarized.

Even if a good game produced by a small studio finally appeared, within a month, the game would become a game under Penguin, and then the taste of the game would change.

No money, no play.

If that small studio didn't agree to the acquisition, Penguin would release a similar game in a very short time and crush that small studio with absolute traffic.

In this regard, domestic players were very helpless and could only scold Penguin while playing Penguin's games.

But does Penguin care? You scold your street, I earn my money.

What's wrong with being scolded a few times, making money is not shameful.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ming sighed secretly.

And just as he was about to close the group chat, a link suddenly popped up.

"Everyone, take a look at this. TikTok has been promoting this game for the past two days. I've swiped it several times, and the visuals are just too much for me!!"

Zhang Ming clicked in curiously.

The player opened, and a line of small text 【mihuyo】 slowly appeared in the middle.

"Mihuyou studio?" Zhang Ming thought for a while: "Never heard of it."

But before he could think deeply, a very pleasant female voice came from the headphones.

【Helios, this is Hyperion, reporting mission status.】

As soon as this voice came out, a tall and charming older sister image immediately appeared in Zhang Ming's mind.

Immediately after, another female voice sounded in the video, and a few lines of small text slowly appeared on the screen: "The third Honkai eruption, 2 years, 5 months, 16 days, 2 hours, 34 minutes, 22 seconds ago."

【Report Major, the wind cave target is invisible, the risk has risen to A-level, requesting confirmation.】

The slowly rising passionate music, as well as a trace of current microphone, created a tense atmosphere of preparing for battle within just a few seconds, attracting all of Zhang Ming's attention.

【Close the cabin door safety protection, manually open the cabin door...】

【... Observation station confirmation complete, waiting for the Valkyrie to land.】

At this point, the visuals in the video finally unfolded completely.

A cabin door slowly opened, followed by the sound of high heels stepping on the ground, the camera moved from bottom to top, long legs, slender waist, peaks... the high-altitude airflow blew up two white braids, and the girl's delicate face finally appeared.

"Whoa~ a very cute girl, and the visuals are very exquisite." ===== CHAPTER 12 =====
