Chapter 212: 208. Mr. Zhang is Awesome!

When Zhang Ran returned to the room again, everyone looked at him, while Yu Qingyu had not followed him back.

Zhang Ran managed a smile and said, "It's fine, everyone eat."

Zhang Ran did not mention the matter regarding Yu Qingyu, and it seemed as if this matter had just passed.

However, anyone could see that Zhang Ran's mood was not very good right now, so no one asked further. Sicheng seemed to have guessed something, but there was actually some resentment in his heart, so he had even less intention of asking.

Sicheng was very satisfied with his current life; he did not want to let the household become chaotic, and he had long since given up on thoughts regarding his so-called grandparents.

Yu Qingyu walked aimlessly on the street; as for her purpose in coming to find Taylor this time, she had long since forgotten it completely.

She did not know what kind of mood she was in at this moment, but all in all, she was somewhat happy.

Yes, just happy—happy that Sicheng and the others had a better life, and happy for her sister; the man she liked was not dead.

But at the same time, Yu Qingyu was also somewhat sad—sad as to why the time of Zhang Ran's return was at this moment; it was too late!

For Yu Qingwan, it was too late!

Because of Yu Qingyu, the atmosphere of this meal seemed somewhat silent, and everyone did not speak.

Zhang Ran also sat in the pavilion all afternoon, staring blankly, not knowing what he was thinking about. Huo Zhiyuan accompanied Zhang Ran the whole time; although she didn't speak while by his side, she watched him silently.

Just when everyone was a bit worried about Zhang Ran's situation, at three o'clock, Zhang Ran recovered, which made everyone heave a sigh of relief.

However, Sicheng's expression turned ugly, because the follow-up moves from Weiteng had come again. After the threats from that President Wang last time, they had indeed increased their efforts.

If it could be said that they were only implicitly hinting at the game *PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds* before, then now they were pointing their spears directly at *PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds*.

But Zhang Ran had also waited for the things he wanted.

"Alright, don't worry. You announce a notice tomorrow; the content will be that in order to urge players to exercise more, Biaoxue Company is launching a live-action version of *PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds*," Zhang Ran said, patting Sicheng on the shoulder.

Sicheng was stunned, then immediately understood. Zhang Ran had also been paying attention to Biaoxue Company all along and had been thinking of ways to help solve the problem.

And hearing Zhang Ran say this, his heart, which had been somewhat panicked, immediately settled down.

"You had this prepared long ago?" Sicheng asked curiously.

Zhang Ran said, "This part was in the original design. Although this kind of project doesn't make much money, it can buy a reputation, and it can also promote *PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds*. By the way, add some content when you promote it later."

"First, every first-tier city will compete for the first place in the live-action version every month. This is based on points, and the first place gets a reward of ten thousand yuan."

"Second, when the finals of the game version of *PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds* are held, the reality version will be synchronized. At that time, the live-action finals will also be held, and it will simulate the game version of *PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds* to the greatest extent."

Zhang Ran told Sicheng everything he had thought of and let him handle it.

Finally, Zhang Ran said, "This is all I can do for you now. From here on, it depends on you."

Sicheng nodded seriously and said, "I understand."

Zhang Ran had already completed the entire development plan and the preliminary groundwork for Biaoxue Company. From now on, Zhang Ran would truly let go and let Sicheng do it.

This was also Zhang Ran's goal all along; what Zhang Ran wanted was Sicheng's ability to maintain, not his ability to start a business.

Therefore, Zhang Ran would arrange everything for Biaoxue Company and let him develop slowly, learning the skills he needed during the development.

After handing over the matters here, Zhang Ran called Meng He again, asking him to find people to push the news about a teenager who suffered shock due to staying up late and not exercising because of an addiction to *PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds*—one of the negative news stories—to the top of the trending topics.

Especially to make this news the main target and suppress the rest of the news.

The next day, Zhang Ran brought Bert and Meng Mingxuan and others to the venue in Shanghai and started playing the live-action *PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds* together.

At the same time, there were drones recording in all directions. By noon the next day, this video was released along with the announcement from Biaoxue Company.

Believe it or not, the effect was actually quite good, especially since Zhang Ran had Meng He push the relevant news to the top yesterday, making this message even more attractive.

This also showed that Biaoxue Company was not only making games but also demonstrating social responsibility, specifically creating such a project to let players who liked their games exercise.

It was just that what Zhang Ran didn't expect was that the Shanghai Government actually liked this announcement from Biaoxue Company that very day.

This allowed Biaoxue Company to almost completely break away from the initial negative news.

Added to that was Bert attracting attention, as well as beauties like Cheng Yi, which made quite a few people feel tempted immediately.

This was just the beginning of this trend. What surprised everyone next was that a group of supermodels from Europe and America also came to Shanghai to play this game with people on-site.

The players who came here to play the game out of curiosity at the time jumped up in excitement.

So on the third day, whether in Shanghai or other first-tier cities, the venues for *PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds* began to be packed.

At the same time, because of the point system set by Biaoxue Company, many people began to take it seriously, and once they took it seriously, they wanted to win.

To win, besides having a certain amount of luck and 'marksmanship,' one also needed better physical fitness; otherwise, if you couldn't run halfway through, it would be too difficult to win.

At this time, Biaoxue Company released another announcement, which was the live-action *PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds* competition that would be held simultaneously with the finals of the game version of *PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds*.

Everyone also noticed the phrase "to the greatest extent," and for a time, many people had wild imaginations.

However, everyone had expectations for this, which made the live-action venues even more popular.

On the internet, very few people doubted the authenticity of this news, because from Prince Haiman at the beginning to Fang Hua later, and now Bert and the supermodels.

These all indicated one thing: that the connections and background of Biaoxue Company were truly very deep.

And on the internet, the mysterious Mr. Zhang was mentioned again, and some people were still shouting: Mr. Zhang is awesome!

Everyone was becoming more and more curious about this mysterious Mr. Zhang. Who exactly was this person? Who else did he know?
