It’s almost ten, and he still hasn’t shown up?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Qiu paced back and forth, finally stopping in front of Chen Wei, but his gaze settled on Qin Xiaoyu’s empty desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I called, but no one answered… why don’t you go check his place?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Wei sighed and shook his head helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, if Qin Xiaoyu arrived late, they wouldn’t care at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But today, with such a major event, if their core figure didn’t show up, they truly feared they’d lose control of the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had both participated in large-scale server launches with millions of users.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was back during the sleep of the early morning…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forget it, we don’t have time to go look for him now—if we don’t enable game pre-download soon, those players will blow up our website!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of the dense flood of comments on their website, Cai Qiu’s scalp prickled. “Luckily, Xiaoyu prepared everything yesterday—the license was approved smoothly, and our procedures are identical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, if we can’t even handle this, I’d have no face claiming my five percent equity!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Chen Wei felt it was slightly inappropriate for Qin Xiaoyu to be absent at such a crucial moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Qiu’s final words suddenly jolted him—maybe this was Xiaoyu’s test for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief discussion, they decided to enable game pre-download first, then announce the official server launch once Qin Xiaoyu arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This decision was partly out of necessity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But also because they were desperate to know just how many players would actually show up to play this game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At exactly ten a.m.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Cai Qiu and Chen Wei’s supervision, the game titled “Genshin Impact” officially launched on the TAP App Store, offering pre-download services.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no heavy advertising—only a single announcement posted on their official website and the official account of Xiaopu Station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This unremarkable announcement sent countless gamers into a frenzy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holy shit, it’s finally started—I’ve been waiting since last night, almost died of exhaustion.
