Chapter 455 Third Episode of Products of the Gods

March 16th, Wednesday… The mobile version of GOG had been updated, and a new event appeared. The fight for the Best of the Gods! The details of the event were written clearly. GOG’s competitions would be held in seasons, with this year being the first. What’s more, the Spring Competition for this year would end on March 29th, and all prizes would be distributed by March 31st. At that time, a total of 9.5 million yuan would have been given out to all the players who ranked 500th and above!

That was cash and not in-game currency!

The top player in the client and the mobile game would each get a hundred thousand yuan in cash! On top of that, all proud winners who have ranked 500th and above would be awarded cash of at least five thousand yuan!

The scariest thing was that GOG had not even released its client for computers. That was only going to be released next Monday. Next Monday was March 21st. From March 21st to midnight on March 29th, players just had to play as much as they could, so that they could stand a chance of winning a hundred thousand yuan cash! Everyone was shocked when they read the news. Some even suspected that it was fake. “They’re crazy! They must be! They’re giving out close to ten million yuan in less than a month?!”

“It’s not just a one-time event either. They would give out close to ten thousand yuan every three months from now on. That’s close to forty thousand yuan per year!”

“This game has already been very kind with its purchase options. I wonder if it can hang on if it’s going to spend so much on the competitions now.” “Tengda has always kept its word. It’s very trustworthy; we don’t have to worry.” “I’m not worried about Tengda’s reputation. I’m just worried about their cash flow…”

“It looks like Tengda is going all out this time. I think the higher management thinks highly of GOG. Otherwise, they would not have decided to spend so much money on the game. Obviously, they’re out to squeeze IOI and Gods Rising out of the market.” “Objectively speaking, Tengda’s higher management is the most courageous higher management I have ever seen in my life. Every strategy makes me wonder if they’re crazy. However, each time they do something like that, their business is taken to new heights!”

“That’s Tengda’s superpower. They don’t earn a lot of money, but they dare to spend a lot! Even wealthier companies than Tengda do not have as much guts as they do!” “I’m not talking anymore. I’m going to download GOG now. I’ll work as hard as I can this week. Even if I only win five thousand yuan, it’ll all be well worth it!”

“I just pre-ordered an Otto E1 cell phone. I don’t know when I’ll receive it… it sold out at the worst possible moment. I knew this was hunger marketing from the beginning!”

“We can play the game on any cell phone, right?” “Yes, you can, but Otto’s cell phones have a unique high frame-rate mode. How can one who, wants to emerge top among all the gaming gods, be held back by hardware? Of course, you would have to use a custom-made cell phone with the best skins!”

“There are too many people playing the mobile version. I don’t think I stand a chance. I’m going to buy a new computer and wait for the client-side game. In any case, there’ll be five hundred winners for the client as well. I’ll just try to cling onto the great masters as much as I can!” “A few good friends of mine have a lot of experience playing Gods Rising and IOI as well. I’ll ask them to move to GOG!” “After playing GOG all day, I think the game’s success is no accident. It’s a fast-paced game that had various mechanisms, lovable heroes, a good online environment, great stability, and the lack of bugs. Moreover, we can use our Tengda Games account to play with old friends. Compared to the two foreign games, GOG is much more convenient!” The internet was littered with discussions like that. In a single day, the game had become extremely popular! Of course, GOG’s popularity was still limited within a small circle.

MMORPGs were still the clear winner in the games market. Gods Rising, IOI, and GOG had attracted considerable crowds. However, players of all three games overlapped. In other words, the three games were still fighting for the same group of players who were interested in MOBA games. More accurately put, IOI was trying to win over Gods Rising’ old players while GOG was trying to win over Gods Rising and IOI’s old players.

The flow of new players into this circle was still very slow. However, GOG’s decision to distribute cash had proven extremely effective. Not only had it persuaded large groups of old players from IOI and Gods Rising to switch to GOG, but it had also caused many new players who had never played such games before to start with GOG first!

In the office, Pei Qian read the netizens’ comments and felt both joyful and miserable. He felt joyful because he had found a way to spend all the money.

Yet, he felt miserable because he had caused such a huge positive reaction when he had only intended to make ducks and drakes of his money!

Everyone was reacting overwhelmingly well… However, on further thought, this made sense. The game had only been released a couple of days ago, and yet it was distributing cash like crazy. This was either unprecedented or very rare.

More importantly, most people were tempted to try their luck because the game had just been released.

If GOG was a game that had been released three or four years earlier, most players would already know how good they were at it. They would know their rough ranking, and they would not have unrealistic fantasies like ‘I can make it as a Grand Master’. Naturally, they would not blindly take part in the competition either.

However, things were different. Everyone was starting from ground zero. Everyone thought that they stood a chance to emerge among the top one thousand. What’s more, they would be able to see the results in just a week. This kind of wishful thinking pushed many gamers to download GOG and fight hard. Pei Qian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He could no longer predict what the next cycle would look like. Perhaps it would be an unsalvageable mess.

Still, no matter what, it would be good if he could push everything to the next cycle. At the moment, the only good news was that Be Quiet was not selling very well. It was a long way from recovering the initial investment. “It should remain steady for the next two days, right?”
