"I don't think our publicity efforts today will go very smoothly. We'll have to play it by ear,"

"Old Second, you stay steady. Don't rush into anything. I have a plan."

Hearing this reassurance, the brothers all felt relieved.

"Haha, alright, we'll listen to you, Boss Wu's design."

Old Second chuckled.

The brothers exchanged smiles.

Wu Wei had clearly become the backbone of the four friends.

As long as he said he had a plan, the others felt at ease.

Nine o'clock in the morning!

All the booths were set up!

The Game Expo officially opened its doors to visitors!

Not only students from Binhai University, but also many players and game enthusiasts from outside the campus had come to attend this game expo!

Whoosh—

Like a floodgate opening, as the doors swung open, dense crowds of visitors poured into the exhibition hall!

'Wow, what a turnout!'

'It's almost as big as the Shanghai Game Show!'

'Holy crap, so many booths! It's no wonder three universities collaborated on this!'

'My eyes are spinning, where should we start?'

'How about this one, Music Master? It's probably a rhythm game, let's warm up with it?'

Xiang Tianming's booth location was indeed prime!

Many visitors, as soon as they entered, were immediately drawn to his booth.

In an instant, many visitors converged in front of the 'Music Master' booth.

All four demo machines were occupied immediately.

Although Xiang Tianming led the development team in name, the game was actually developed by Ming Ye Game Company. It was a basic rhythm game.

Notes fall from the top of the screen, and players hit the corresponding keys as the notes approach the bottom line.

While it was a very basic rhythm game, it was also a format that was guaranteed not to fail in the market.

It was like rice in staple foods; although there wasn't much creativity, it was never a wrong choice.

Anyone could have a bite.

Soon, the first round of players finished their experience.

Then came the second round, the third, and the fourth.

Occupying the most trafficked spot by the entrance, Xiang Tianming's booth had a continuous stream of players.

And among so many players trying the game, there would always be some willing to pay to purchase it.

Relying on his advantageous location, Xiang Tianming was the first to open for business!

On the other hand, the situation at Wu Wei's booth was much more dismal.

Since most visitors chose to start from the entrance and check out the hundreds of games one by one.

By the time Xiang Tianming's booth was on its sixth round of player experiences, Wu Wei's group had barely welcomed their first sparse group of visitors.

Just then!

Four men, who were clearly not students, walked over with a swagger.

Lu Bian stepped forward to greet them enthusiastically:

"Hello, welcome to experience our..."

"No need. I know what to do."

Before he could finish, one of the young men with dyed yellow hair pushed Lu Bian aside and swaggered over to sit in front of a demo machine, starting the game.

However, before he was even halfway through the first level, the yellow-haired guy scoffed.

Then, he slammed his hand on the keyboard!

"What kind of garbage is this game? It's not fun at all."

Seeing the yellow-haired guy's reaction, Boss Wu inwardly sneered.

See, Xiang Tianming's backup plan had arrived.

The number of tourists on Wu Wei's side was already sparse to begin with.

Some players had come after experiencing "Music Master" from earlier batches.

Seeing that Wu Wei's Platinum Studio's "Dance of Ice and Fire" was also a rhythm game, they couldn't help but want to compare.

However, after that guy with the dyed hair started shouting, combined with his sleazy demeanor, The players who were initially eager were instantly put off. They left the booth with strange looks in their eyes.

Slap!

Wu Wei quickly grabbed Liu He, who was about to explode.

He knew it. Old Second's temper was useless even with warnings.

Wu Wei secretly pressed his forehead.

"Old Wu! This guy is clearly here to cause trouble!"

Old Second suppressed his anger and whispered furiously.

"I know, but are you planning to beat him up?"

Wu Wei turned his head to Old Second.

"If we beat him up, we'll be kicked out too."

Wu Wei's guess was spot on!

At this very moment, two security guards specifically arranged by Xiang Tianming were watching their booth intently from the shadows!

As long as Wu Wei and his team couldn't resist and got into a conflict with the guy with dyed hair, they would immediately rush forward.

Using the excuse of disrupting the venue's order, they would throw both the guy with dyed hair and Wu Wei's team out!

However, passively taking a beating had never been Wu Wei's style!

"If it's about playing dirty, I'm the ancestor."

"Watch this."

Wu Wei patted the fuming Liu He, stood up, and sat down next to the guy with dyed hair.

He even poured him a glass of water.

"Hello, I'm the designer of this game. Is there anything about our game that you're not satisfied with?"

Wu Wei's attitude couldn't have been better!

But the guy with dyed hair was here to cause trouble today, so he wasn't going to give Wu Wei a good look!

"Damn, you designed this crap game? What kind of garbage is this? It has no graphics, no feel."

As he spoke, the guy with dyed hair glanced at Wu Wei with disdain.

Wu Wei didn't seem to care.

He pulled his stool over slightly and leaned closer to the guy with dyed hair.

Then, with a smile, Wu Wei spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"Is that all Xiang Tianming taught you to say?"

"Heh, then let me tell you, if you want graphics, go home and install a webcam. Watch the live broadcast of your wife with Uncle Wang next door."

"As for the feel..."

"Go home and try it with your mom."

Wu Wei's words were incredibly vicious!
