Chapter 57: Will Anyone Actually Show Up for an Event Like This?

When the Kentucky representative directly presented the event planning proposal, the Domino’s regional manager realized they had been outmaneuvered.

The questions raised by the competitor earlier had been nothing but a distraction.

He had genuinely been unable to answer those questions on the spot.

Even if he returned now to submit a report, by the time headquarters approved it, at least a week would have passed—by then, Kentucky’s themed store would likely already be renovated.

They simply lacked vision, not thinking as thoroughly as their competitor had.

“Mr. Qin, we were unprepared this time. We hope for future opportunities to collaborate!”

The Domino’s representative gave a bitter smile and stood up.

“Of course.”

Qin Xiaoyu stood as well and politely saw him out of the meeting room.

When he returned to the meeting room, Kentucky was the only remaining partner.

Qin Xiaoyu carefully reviewed the entire event plan.

Aside from the slogan “Cross-Dimensional Encounter, Savor the Feast,” he found no major issues—though many details still needed refinement.

These two phrases, Qin Xiaoyu felt, would feel utterly mortifying if shouted aloud.

In a sense, anime gamers tend to immerse themselves in their own worlds—that’s also why Genshin Impact was designed as a semi-single-player game.

But upon further thought.

Within the themed store, it wouldn’t be such a big problem.

After all.

Those attending the event would all be Genshin Impact players or young people with an anime sensibility.

Teasing and joking among each other wouldn’t hurt at all.

…

That evening at seven.

After six hours of negotiations, Qin Xiaoyu deemed the event free of major issues and arranged for the Kentucky representative to be escorted out.

Eight.

Kentucky’s official website released a collaboration announcement with Genshin Impact.

The announcement quickly sparked a massive uproar online.

Many people unfamiliar with Genshin Impact, along with numerous fast-food competitors, expressed little confidence in Kentucky’s collaboration.

Even many of Kentucky’s senior store managers were baffled by the event.

Several managers privately discussed, wondering if upper management had lost their minds—how could they make such a stupid decision?

Will anyone actually show up for this event?

On the other side, when Qin Xiaoyu had the collaboration announcement posted on the official website and Bilibili, an entirely different scene unfolded.

Upon hearing the news, countless players rushed over to leave comments.

“I really want that bucket skin, postcards, badges, and 800 Primogems—but who came up with this slogan? Can you just be normal? It’s so embarrassing!”

“I’d starve to death before buying anything from Kentucky!”

“Yeah, don’t go—what’s a bucket skin, postcards, badges, and Primogems? Screw the devs, you think we care?”

“Whoever goes is a dog! If the devs find out, they’ll realize those trinkets can’t buy us!”

“Holy shit, bro upstairs, you’re hardcore—I never agreed to that!”

“You’re truly disgusting—stop pretending. Your malicious intent is obvious: you just don’t want us to grab the stuff, right? Lucky I’m smart enough to see through your scheme!”

“Enough talk—go buy a tent! I’m heading to the Kentucky entrance to queue right now.”
