Chapter 29

“Fish Brother, take a look first, then tell me and Old Cai!”

Cai Qiu and Chen Wei stood on either side of Qin Xiaoyu, their eyes, which had been calmly fixed on the computer screen awaiting the reveal of the opening day revenue, suddenly and simultaneously shifted away.

At this moment.

Their emotions were complex: they desperately wanted to know the result, yet dared not look directly at the answer.

Seeing their reaction, Qin Xiaoyu smiled slightly—he understood why Old Cai and Ah Wei felt this way, so he didn’t tease them, and simply opened the recharge settlement backend.

This system had been used by them long ago when operating those small games.

The interface was indeed crude.

But the data was secure and reliable.

Qin Xiaoyu’s gaze landed directly on the number displayed in the column for yesterday’s cumulative revenue: 1,132,086.00!

“H-How much? Fish Brother, did you even look?”

Seeing Qin Xiaoyu remain silent for so long, Old Cai couldn’t help nudging him with his elbow, asking urgently.

“Just turn your faces around and look yourselves! It shouldn’t disappoint you…”

Personally, Qin Xiaoyu was quite satisfied with Genshin Impact’s opening day revenue performance.

Hearing his assurance, Old Cai and Ah Wei turned their heads simultaneously, eager to fix their eyes on the revenue figure.

They froze for several seconds, then stared at the screen with strange expressions, confirming it multiple times, before a hint of disappointment surfaced on their faces.

“Fish Brother, this… this doesn’t make sense! How is it only a little over a million?” Cai Qiu tore his gaze away and turned to Qin Xiaoyu, looking as if this defied logic.

“Is this what they call ‘praised but not popular’?”

Beside him, Chen Wei stared at the screen, his brow slightly furrowed, muttering to himself.

Though the outside world claimed the 2.29 million peak online players was fake data, they both knew for certain it contained zero inflation.

With such an insane number of concurrent players, how could the opening day revenue not even reach ten million RMB? It just didn’t add up!

Before seeing this number, Old Cai and Chen Wei’s lowest expectation had been five million.

Although their previous games had never hit more than a million in single-day revenue, setting five million as their mental benchmark wasn’t arrogance.

It was simply because the player base was right there!

But reality had just delivered them a crushing blow.

Not even two million—let alone five million—was reached… This was absolutely insane!

At this moment.

Besides Qin Xiaoyu and his two partners, several top executives from Shenguo’s leading game publishers were also monitoring Genshin Impact’s opening day revenue.

Typically, revenue figures are absolute corporate secrets; unless a company voluntarily discloses them, outsiders have no way of knowing the exact numbers.

But.

These individuals were industry giants—given enough effort, they could still uncover some answers.

Though they didn’t know the precise figure, they had obtained a rough estimate: just over a million.

To be honest.
