Chapter 100: Chapter 99 The Restless Sword Barrier Network

Yu Xiaochuan stared wide-eyed at his alternate account "Lao Chuan Reviews GAME" backend—the private messages had already surged to 99+.

"Hello, are you interested in business cooperation? +Vgm4654****!" Enjoy new adventures at m-v l-NovelFire.net

"Hello, have you considered joining a guild? The Pan-Gaming Guild cordially invites you to join us!"

"Hello, are you selling your account?"

"..."

In addition to the flood of business-related private messages, there were even more messages from the audience grandpas.

"I need the game link!"

"Begging for the link here, I'm going to die of boredom if I can't play the game!"

"Young up, send me the game link. Your account is still small, you can't handle it. /funny"

"..."

Yu Xiaochuan simply had no time to respond and could only clear all backend messages with one click.

But as soon as he cleared them, new private messages immediately came flooding in, so he had no choice but to set the messages to 'do not disturb' and ignore them.

He looked at the video he had posted: "Life Restart Simulator—Experience the unpredictability of life in ten minutes."

The view count had already reached more than three hundred thousand, with fifty thousand likes and ten thousand coins; the data ratio was very impressive.

Compared to the amateur entertainment videos on his main account, the viewers in the gaming section were clearly more loyal, and their comments were evidently more enthusiastic.

Unlike the amateur entertainment videos on his main account, where if a girl was featured, all the comments would be from thirsty guys, and if it was a good-looking guy, the comments would be from thirsty girls.

But the comments under gaming videos were a diverse mix:

Cheng Rui's grandfather: I know where to play! Do you get it with a left-click, dad?

-Promising youth: Liked! Dad!

-Wei, don't die on us: Bros, I disliked the video, did I do the right thing?

The leader of Huang Sect: Up, you're inhuman, secretly playing games without sharing the link, you've lost my triple support!

...

Seeing everyone in the comments section asking for the link and noticing the barrage almost being overwhelmed, Yu Xiaochuan hurriedly put up the download method for Life Restart Simulator, pinning it in the comments section.

(Pinned) Lao Chuan Talks Games: This game seems to be an exclusive release; you can only start by downloading the Shengda Game Platform and then search for the game to download inside the platform! Shengda Game Platform {click link}. Searᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

No sooner had he pinned the comment than people started replying, and he had to continue dealing with the comments section.

When there's a crowd, there's always a few foul comments that appear; if not dealt with, they can make the comments section unpleasant for viewers.

What Yu Xiaochuan didn't realize was that this one download link he posted directly blew up the operations department of the Shengda Mobile Game Platform.

Zheng Shou had just come back from being scolded by his director and hadn't even sat down when the operations manager stood up with a troubled expression.

"Manager... the platform crashed again. A huge number of new users came from nowhere, and the download distribution channels we just got from the IT department are full again."

"Damn... keep investigating. It can't be that the company that developed this simulator is doing another promotion, right? If Ideal Paradise has the money, why don't they just go directly to the Tencent or Yi Net platforms for a launch?"

Zheng Shou shuddered all over; he kept complaining, but deep down, he was thrilled.

He never imagined that the Shengda Game Platform he managed could break through a million downloads in one day!

This year's company annual summary meeting, he would be able to report his achievements with his head held high!

Just thinking about it excited him!

He couldn't help but become curious about Ideal Paradise, the company behind it all. He couldn't understand why a company willing to spend so much on their product promotion would want to launch on Shengda's platform.

It seems like a losing proposition!

Going to Tencent or Yi Net would undoubtedly be ten times more effective!

He included Ideal Paradise in the list of top-quality operations, while Sword Barrier Network had long been forgotten.

Zheng Shou distributed the promotional resources he had just been scolded for taking to his subordinates to handle and hurried off to the operations department.

Given the current developments, this was no longer an issue that his mobile game operations department could fully control!

The IT department, the operations department, even the entire operations center must all be mobilized to ensure no mistakes!

Soon, the whole Shengda Game Center learned of the mobile game operations department's tremendous performance spike and called an overnight meeting to devise a comprehensive plan.

Following the meeting's decision, the focus of promotion for Shengda Games on the Android platform was shifted entirely to a product named Life Restart Simulator.

Someone was also sent to contact the person in charge of Ideal Paradise to discuss subsequent business collaboration.

We must use this surge of traffic to establish a reputation for the Shengda Game Platform!

They had been crushed in the mobile game market by companies like Tencent in the past, but now, after many years, they were taking their first step again!

That night, the lights in the Shengda Game Building were ablaze.

And it wasn't only the employees of Shengda Game who couldn't sleep; twenty kilometers away at the Haidong University Student Innovation Science Park, another company's entire staff was also wide awake.

The entire entrepreneurship building had gone dark except for office 106 on the first floor, where Sword Barrier Network was lit up inside and out.

"What do we do? Simulating Billionaire was taken down less than a day after it launched!"

"Should we run for it? When Bi Jian comes back, he's sure to berate us to death! Let's head back to university while the technical manager and marketing manager are absent!"

"Anyway, Bi Jian never signed a labor contract with us, we can't be held responsible if we leave!"

The leaderless employees huddled around development manager Kang Jia and product manager Hu Shuo, whispering conspiratorially.

Hu Shuo, with a worried look on his face, remained silent, but he knew in his heart that his companions, both classmates and colleagues, were right: if they were to leave, it had to be while both in-charge managers and Bi Jian were out.

Once the three of them returned, a dispute would surely break out directly!

"Should we… run?"

After hesitating for about ten seconds, Hu Shuo tentatively asked development manager Kang Jia beside him.

Among all these people, Kang Jia had the best technical skills and put in the most effort at the company, always proactively helping to solve problems whenever everyone faced one.

Thus, his opinion carried much weight, and everyone respected him.

Kang Jia looked at Hu Shuo, then at the circle of classmates around him, his brow tightly knitted and his jaw clenched as he chewed over the situation.

Seeing the earnest gaze of his classmates, he internally struggled fiercely for a while before finally squeezing out through gritted teeth, "I'm not running... you leave if you want to!"

"Bi Jian hasn't paid us this month's salary yet! If we leave now, wouldn't our work have been for nothing?"

"Even if we leave, we must make Bi Jian pay our salaries! We can't just let it go!"

"Classmates, that's the money we've earned toiling away night after night until eleven or twelve!"

Kang Jia was extremely reluctant to just walk away like this.

He was counting on Bi Jian to pay this month's salary to get by; if he left now, he would have no living expenses for the next month!

Despite how Bi Jian had always exploited him, he had no choice but to silently endure it due to his life circumstances.

The others fell silent after hearing Kang Jia's words.

Just like Kang Jia, they all relied on working for Bi Jian to support their lives. If they just left, they would not receive a cent of this month's pay!

Simulating Billionaire was the product they had developed by staying up late every night for a whole month.

"Alright, Kang, I'll listen to you, let's endure this month! Once we get paid, we'll leave!"

"Right! We've got to take back what we've earned with our sweat and blood!"

"..."

Everyone sat back down at their workstations, racking their brains to figure out if there was any way to get Simulating Billionaire back on the market.

Just then, a thoroughly drunk Bi Jian stumbled in with two partners, arms over each other's shoulders.

"That damn Gu Yu! Who would've thought, eh? I've got money, I'm out on bail! Thinking of locking me up now? Not a chance!"

Bi Jian, bottle in hand and swaying, walked up to the office door, about to push it open, when he suddenly turned his head in surprise and looked at the employees behind him.

"Eh, why are you all voluntarily working overtime tonight?"

"Hahaha, I know! It must be because Simulating Billionaire's data exploded, right?"

Bi Jian approached product manager Hu Shuo, squinting and smiling broadly.
