Their minds already pictured players frantically reserving spots, breaking records.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes never left the backend data, manually refreshing it almost every few seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After half a minute passed, Cai Qiu and Chen Wei were completely stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something doesn’t seem right…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only was there no explosive surge, but the reservation data on the backend was alarmingly quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all this time, not a single player had reserved the game!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is the website broken, or has the game failed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fish Brother, our game might be doomed… It’s been nearly minutes and not a single reservation?

Haven’t you heard ‘let the bullets fly’?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Xiaoyu shook his head, then sent the two revised PVs to Cai Qiu and Chen Wei, continuing:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve finished editing the earlier PVs.

Before he could step inside, he saw a tall, elegant young woman with refined features walking toward him with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me introduce myself—I’m Qinya, General Gao’s secretary.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qinya casually sized him up, then spoke confidently: “General Gao sent me here to sign the exchange agreement.
