Chapter 32: The Light of Domestic ACG Games, Millions of Foreigners Drooling and Crying?!
After hanging up the phone, Qin Qin Xiaoyu got straight out of the car and walked directly toward the cafeteria where he had eaten with Lin Su last time.
His age looked about the same as the school's students, and he appeared very calm and composed.
The gatekeeper did not stop him at all.
After all.
Many students in the Drama Academy also chose to rent off-campus, so the management was relatively loose.
It was the same agreed-upon location as last time.
When Qin Qin Xiaoyu arrived, Lin Su had not yet come; with nothing else to do, he casually picked up his phone, logged onto Xiao Po Zhan, and intended to see if any game bloggers had reviewed the game "Genshin Impact."
Good heavens!
Having only glanced at it for a few seconds, Qin Qin Xiaoyu was immediately stunned.
The entire Xiao Po Zhan had been blown up by the game Genshin Impact; out of every ten videos, at least five or six were related to the game.
Some were professional bloggers reviewing it, while others were game bloggers posting gameplay videos.
It was no exaggeration to say it had completely taken over the platform.
Among the numerous videos, one titled "The Light of Domestic ACG Games, Millions of Foreigners Drooling and Crying" quickly succeeded in catching Qin Qin Xiaoyu's attention.
It was not that this UP host was wildly hyping Genshin Impact, making him feel proud.
Qin Qin Xiaoyu was simply curious; he indeed planned to release the game Genshin Impact globally in the near future.
However.
As for this matter, he had only casually mentioned it once to Old Cai and A-Wei; no one else knew anything about it.
As for overseas advertising and promotion, that was something that simply did not exist. How could there possibly be millions of foreigners interested in this game?
His plan had clearly not even started to be implemented yet, okay?
Out of curiosity, Qin Qin Xiaoyu clicked on that video and began watching it with some confusion.
A few minutes later.
Qin Qin Xiaoyu finally understood what was going on; strictly speaking, the video he watched was not from a clickbait UP host trying to attract traffic by riding the hype, but rather a genuine occurrence.
It was just that the title had a bit of an exaggerated element; there were not a million foreigners, but at most, one could barely say there were a hundred thousand or so foreigners.
The cause of the incident started with a European car engineer who was on a business trip in Xia Guo.
This engineer was named Dale, and he had been working and living in Xia Guo for over two years.
Besides being a car engineer, he was also a seasoned ACG fan and could even be considered a small internet celebrity.
On YouTube, he had accumulated over 800,000 fans by playing games.
In fact, before Genshin Impact's server launch, Dale had already heard colleagues around him mention the name of this ACG game several times.
But at that time, he paid it no mind at all.
The reason was, of course, very simple.
During the more than two years Dale lived and worked in Xia Guo, he had also encountered several Xia Guo ACG games.
But the result was that they were so terrible that he didn't even feel interested in complaining about them.
Since then, he had simply ignored Xia Guo ACG games and anime.
But starting from yesterday morning, the name of the game "Genshin Impact" had never stopped ringing in Dale's ears.
Colleagues who knew he liked ACG games, whenever they saw him, were all recommending the game "Genshin Impact" to him without exception.
Even in the office, quite a few young subordinates chose to take a day off so they could play this game on the day the servers opened.
After this series of "abnormal" events occurred, Dale finally couldn't help but feel a trace of curiosity.
So, after getting off work that day, with a mindset of just trying it out, he downloaded the game and then started livestreaming himself playing Genshin Impact on YouTube.
To put it bluntly.
Dale initially just wanted to show his fans during the livestream how terrible Xia Guo ACG games really were, advising his fans to avoid Xia Guo ACG content in the future to save their money.
However...
When Dale went to livestream the gameplay with the intention of criticizing it, he was immediately stunned, just like the game blogger Tonghao Mama before him.
He stayed up all night long, completely unable to stop!
Of course.
The people who were equally stunned included the nearly 100,000 foreign fans watching the game livestream in Dale's live room.
So they kept sending danmu in Dale's live room, asking what the game was called and where they could play it.
Coincidentally, this scene was witnessed by a Xia Guo game UP host who liked browsing YouTube.
Thus, the video with the slightly exaggerated title that Qin Qin Xiaoyu had just seen appeared on Xiao Po Zhan.
"This is another free advertisement!"
The corner of Qin Qin Xiaoyu's mouth couldn't help but curve into a slight upward arc as he muttered a sigh to himself.
Regardless, this matter could be considered an unexpected joy for him.
It also proved another thing.
The game Genshin Impact would not encounter the problems Old Cai and A-Wei were worried about when released and operated overseas.
Of course.
As for the matter of the global game release next, relying solely on Dale's single livestream was clearly far from enough; Qin Qin Xiaoyu knew this better than anyone.
Just as he was thinking about this matter, Lin Su's figure suddenly appeared in his line of sight.
At the same time.
Another figure also appeared in his eyes.
What came into view was a young girl with a delicate melon-seed face, her black hair tied into a ponytail hanging behind her head, her clear eyes curved into a pair of crescent moons, carrying a few traces of charming smiles in them, who was talking to Lin Su.
She looked to be about the same age as Lin Su.
"Good morning~!"
Lin Su saw Qin Qin Xiaoyu sitting by the window, gave a greeting, then pulled Tao Tao Xiaodian over and sat down in front of him.
"Morning!"
Qin Qin Xiaoyu returned a faint smile, his gaze turning to the girl beside Lin Su as he asked, "And this is..."
"Oh, her name is Tao Tao Xiaodian. Don't mind her; just treat her like air!"
After introducing Tao Tao Xiaodian, Lin Su asked straight to the point: "By the way, what did you want this time? Don't tell me you want to borrow the recording studio again?"
Before Qin Qin Xiaoyu could answer, Tao Tao Xiaodian immediately became displeased, pouting and complaining softly to Lin Su:
"Lin Su, that's a bit much! What do you mean 'just treat me like air'? Does this Young Lady have no face?"
Tao Tao Xiaodian's voice was not loud.
But Qin Qin Xiaoyu was currently less than a meter away from the two of them; at that moment, his eyes lit up directly. "Say that again, just try it?"
Tao Tao Xiaodian confirmed several times in a row, realizing the person in front of her was indeed speaking to her without a doubt.
Immediately, her brows furrowed slightly; with a hint of doubt and nervousness in her heart, she quickly glanced at Qin Qin Xiaoyu, then quickly set her small face into a stern expression and asked:
"Wait, does falling in love mean you won't even let me speak?"
