'...'
Online discussions were everywhere, and the buzz was explosive.
Naturally, the scene itself was just as lively!
As agreed, Ah Yin and Liu Liu had both reached 85% of the fifth stage.
Wu Wei did not fuss over it and simply counted it as them clearing the fifth stage, giving each of them fifty mouse pads as a reward.
The four of them sat in front of the booth, signing autographs while handing out the rewards to the audience.
An undeniable hit game, combined with the full support of four major streamers.
Naturally, the audience was wildly enthusiastic.
After each of them had signed and handed out twenty-five, Ah Yin took a call and pulled Wu Wei aside.
"The game is good. Honestly, you put real care into it, and it's highly polished."
Ah Yin said to Wu Wei:
"I'm only telling you this privately, but compared to the dozen or so games I tried earlier, yours has the highest level of polish and is the most fun."
Ah Yin sincerely shared his feelings.
"Thank you, Boss."
Wu Wei nodded in thanks.
After hesitating for a moment, Ah Yin continued:
"Here's the thing. The four of us have technically gone way overtime, so after signing these, we should be leaving."
"Boss, the four of us are already incredibly grateful. Please don't say that."
Wu Wei waved his hands repeatedly.
"It's nothing. The gameplay really is good, and it's highly replayable. If we hadn't gotten so into it, we wouldn't have stayed here this long. That's your own ability."
Ah Yin patted Wu Wei on the shoulder and spoke sincerely.
"I just got a call from Shark Platform."
As he spoke, Ah Yin glanced at the bustling autograph session over by Liu Liu.
"Let's keep this brief."
"About that co-branded keyboard idea you mentioned earlier, from what I heard, Shark's higher-ups seem pretty interested."
"So they asked me to invite you to a video meeting tonight. I was wondering if you'd be interested."
Wu Wei's eyes lit up at those words!
He had not expected a spur-of-the-moment idea of his to catch the interest of Shark's management!
"Of course I'm interested. It would be an honor."
Wu Wei nodded and immediately accepted the invitation.
Shark Platform.
One of the largest gaming livestreaming platforms in the country!
If they could truly establish a partnership with them, their future game promotion would take off immediately!
"Then I'll thank you on Shark's behalf first."
Ah Yin really knew how to speak and handle affairs. He proactively reached out and shook Wu Wei's hand.
"The four of us streamers will join the meeting tonight as well. We'll talk then."
"See you tonight."
The two smiled and added each other's contact information. Ah Yin also forwarded Wu Wei the contact details of one of Shark's executives.
With the business settled, Ah Yin pointed at Wu Wei and joked:
"Bring some armor tonight, or the four of us beating up on you might be more than you can handle."
"Boss... seriously...?"
Wu Wei immediately pulled a long face upon hearing that.
"You big streamers are still holding grudges?"
"Hehe, let me tell you the truth: the bigger the streamer, the more grudges they hold!"
The streamers had left.
But the peak period for Dance of Ice and Fire had only just begun!
Its challenging level design, the streamers' gameplay experience, and its excellent controls.
Along with Wu Wei's personal reputation and Shen Yunshi's artistic talent!
For a time, throughout the entire exhibition hall, only the Dance of Ice and Fire booth had a long line of people waiting to try it!
The audience looked thrilled. Their occasional wails and furious condemnations of Wu Wei repeatedly sent the crowd into peals of laughter!
Watching the lively scene, Wu Wei and Old Zhang were finally able to sit down properly backstage and have a drink of water.
As for Liu He and Lu Bian, they eagerly headed to the front under the pretense of "guiding the experience" to check out the female players.
Guys had always loved this sort of thing.
For them, it was a visual treat.
After all, who would not want to look at beautiful women?
"No wonder you were so calm. Turns out you had such a big move waiting in reserve."
Old Zhang took a sip of water and smiled easily.
"I didn't expect the results to be this good."
"Honestly, I didn't expect the streamers to bring us such strong results and traffic either."
Wu Wei said.
It was true.
Wu Wei knew very well that when streamers attended events like this, they generally could not bring too much personal flair into it.
His original plan had been to borrow their traffic and use it to break through Xiang Tianming's blockade.
But he had never expected it.
The streamers actually got completely hooked as they played!
If Shark had not been unable to stand it any longer, they probably would not have left anytime soon!
"Still, what a coincidence. It was only because I happened to mention this to Shen Yunshi that day that I found out our concept artist was Liu Liu's personal illustrator."
As he spoke, Wu Wei smiled at Shen Yunshi.
Shen Yunshi smiled a little awkwardly.
"Wu Wei's strategy was more important. I only mentioned it casually at the time."
"What really revived the game, aside from your solid game quality, was your brilliant strategy."
Shen Yunshi greatly admired Wu Wei's ability to adapt on the fly.
In fact, they had prepared the mouse pads long ago.
Yet for some reason, Wu Wei had never asked her to bring them out.
At first, Shen Yunshi did not understand why Wu Wei had arranged things this way.
Those mouse pads had clearly been planned as giveaway gifts from the start.
It was not until she learned what had happened earlier that Shen Yunshi understood why Wu Wei had changed his mind at the last minute and delayed them.
That hateful Xiang Tianming had used every possible method to impose a complete blockade on them!
After realizing that something was wrong, Wu Wei immediately postponed the mouse pads' debut.
He waited until the streamers arrived before bringing them out.
Because that way, the mouse pads were no longer merely gifts to attract visitors and players.
Under Wu Wei's arrangement, they became prizes for the two groups of streamers to compete over!
And with the added value of the streamers' signatures, it was as though they had been plated with gold, stirring even greater interest among the on-site audience and viewers in the livestreams!
That was right.
Earlier, whether it was Shen Yunshi "running into" Liu Liu or reluctantly showing Liu Liu the concept art mouse pad, it had all been deliberately arranged by Wu Wei.
