"If Xiang Tianming keeps this up, we're finished!"
"Yeah, Old Wu, why aren't you worried at all?"
Seeing how anxious and frustrated his brothers were, Wu Wei smiled.
He got up and handed each of the three a bottle of water.
"Let Xiang Tianming keep at it. The bigger he makes things, the harder he'll fall."
The three brothers looked at Wu Wei suspiciously.
They had no idea where Old Wu's confidence came from!
As he spoke, Wu Wei glanced at his watch.
"At this hour, the victims should be arriving soon."
"Our chance to turn things around should be here too."
The moment he finished speaking!
A commotion suddenly swept through the crowd in the venue!
The three brothers jolted and stood up, looking toward the entrance.
The doorway was packed with people, and waves of astonished cries rose from the crowd!
Curious, Lu Bian even found a stool and stood on it to see what was happening.
But the moment Old Third Lu climbed up and took two looks, his expression froze as if he had seen a ghost!
He immediately jumped off the stool and stared at Wu Wei with a strange expression!
"Holy shit, these are the victims you were talking about?"
"Mhm."
Wu Wei raised a brow and nodded.
After getting Wu Wei's confirmation, Lu Bian took a deep breath and stepped forward to grab his hand.
"Whatever happens, don't tell them I had anything to do with this game. Thanks."
Old Zhang and Old Second had no idea what was going on, and Lu Bian's ghost-stricken expression left them completely bewildered.
They were just about to ask.
Then, in the next second, the host's voice rang out from the exhibition hall speakers!
"Designers and visitors, please welcome the surprise guest experience officers for this Game Expo!"
"Ah Yin, Cousin, Dai Xiaomei, and Shi Liuliu from Shark!"
Boom—
The entire exhibition hall instantly erupted into cheers of delighted surprise!
Old Zhang and Old Second's expressions changed at the same time!
They finally understood why Lu Bian had said that!
So Wu Wei had been taking his time because he had something up his sleeve!
But?
"How did you know the streamers were coming?"
All three of them were stunned!
The victims Wu Wei had mentioned were actually four top-tier streamers who had suddenly appeared at the event!
There hadn't been even the slightest word about this beforehand!
No one knew the organizing committee had invited any so-called "experience officers"!
How did Wu Wei know?!
Wu Wei simply shrugged and smiled.
"Funny thing is, it was just a coincidence."
It turned out that when Wu Wei had been discussing artwork drafts with Shen Yunshi that day, a streaming notification had popped up in the bottom-right corner of her screen.
It was from Shi Liuliu.
Wu Wei hadn't thought much of it and casually asked Shen Yunshi whether she watched streams too.
But that one question led to quite the surprise.
Shen Yunshi was actually Shi Liuliu's personal artist for her weekly streams!
Shi Liuliu's various profile pictures, including the cover for Heart Poison, had all been drawn by Shen Yunshi!
The two were good friends online!
As it happened, Shi Liuliu had been invited to this Game Expo, and the two had arranged to meet at Binhai Academy!
It had only come up in casual conversation.
But though the speaker had no intention, the listener did!
Wu Wei had never expected the streamers' arrival to fundamentally help him win the championship.
If no one had interfered, then with the game's solid quality, the streamers would only have been the icing on the cake.
Besides, all four streamers were creditors he had tormented half to death with Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy.
Wu Wei had wanted to keep his involvement hidden if possible, so he had never paid much attention to the matter.
Until today!
Xiang Tianming had carefully laid out his plan, surrounding and intercepting them, sealing off every path with the clear intention of crushing them!
Under these circumstances, this group of streamers carrying enormous traffic became absolutely crucial to them!
They were their only way to break through the blockade!
Watching the four streamers cheerfully taking photos and signing autographs for fans by the entrance, Wu Wei curled his lips.
"Pull yourselves together. Time to get to work."
.
.
"Holy shit! Where is Boss?"
"Why did this monkey suddenly switch to outdoor streaming today?"
"Damn, Neckless Cousin is there too?"
"And Liu Liu and the old lady!"
"What event is this? Looks like some kind of exhibition?"
"Binhai University Zhiyou Student Game Expo! Don't ask how I know! I just took a photo with Boss!"
"Damn! Watching monkeys in person? So jealous."
"I want to meet Boss in person too, tat."
"I'm here at the venue. Boss is so handsome!"
"..."
Strings of comments floated across Ah Yin's stream.
The sudden Game Expo stream pleasantly surprised the viewers.
At the same time, Shark's livestream homepage had put up huge promotional banners for the four "experience officers"!
Even more viewers poured into the streams.
In truth, this had been a partnership agreed upon by the Game Expo and Shark long ago.
This was the internet age, and events like the Game Expo needed online buzz even more.
After all, no matter how large or well-run an offline exhibition was, the number of visitors and players the venue could accommodate was limited.
It was utterly insignificant compared to online traffic.
Since the organizing committee had chosen combined online and offline sales as its judging standard.
Then in addition to physical exhibitions, online promotion was naturally indispensable.
And this event was being hosted by the Zhiyou Platform.
Naturally, they were happy to see players purchasing games online.
And so...
