บท 13: The Miracle of Having 100000 Downloads in a Day
บรรณาธิการ: Dragon Boat Translation
The Storm Gaming Company and many other game companies had paid many posters to smear Zombie Apocalypse with fake reviews.
Although some players would believe in the fake reviews, most enjoyed playing Zombie Apocalypse due to its high quality.
However, most players would take the initiative to try playing Zombie Apocalypse due to its popularity. Once they started playing the game, they couldn't resist playing it anymore.
It turned out that the fake reviews didn't affect the popularity of Zombie Apocalypse. Besides, it attracted even more players to play Zombie Apocalypse, which helped Su Ping promote his game for free.
[I've just tired out Zombie Apocalypse. According to my gaming experience, you should try playing yourself to know whether it's a good game.]
[I've seen numerous fake reviews on the internet for the past two days. I believe it's done by the company which produced Apocalypse Tomorrow. Haha!]
[The Storm Gaming Company deserves it. They must have suffered an enormous loss. They didn't intend to produce good games but wanted to make more money since they had advanced technology and more fund. Everything is destined!]
[Everyone, please don't believe the fake reviews about Zombie Apocalypse! Zombie Apocalypse is the best game I've ever played!]
Netizens gradually discovered the existence of the water army. Hence, the players took the initiative to speak for the Zombie Apocalypse.
Although the game producer was unknown to them, they were willing to take the initiative to do it as long as it was a good game.
To the players, nothing was more torturing than being unable to find a good game on the market.
Meanwhile, Su Ping was also paying attention to people's responses to Zombie Apocalypse on the internet.
"Zombie Apocalypse is now popular enough. Most players should have downloaded Zombie Apocalypse and played it within two days."
"It's time to produce the Zombie Apocalypse season two and release it!"
Since Zombie Apocalypse was famous, Su Ping had to take advantage of the opportunity to release another game to maximize his profits.
Su Ping could imagine the enthusiastic response when Zombie Apocalypse season two was launched according to its current popularity.
However, just as Su Ping was about to start working, he received a call from Angelica.
Angelica seemed to be hesitating when Su Ping picked up the call.
"Su Ping… About…"
Su Ping was puzzled by Angelica's confusing behavior and asked,
"Are you alright? Are you sick?"
"No, it's just that… Isn't it late now…"
Su Ping waited for a while, but Angelica still couldn't finish a complete sentence.
Su Ping checked the time and said calmly, "It's very late now. You should go to bed early. Good night."
When Su Ping was about to hang up, Angelica suddenly became anxious.
Angelica immediately said.
"Don't! Please don't hang up!"
"Then tell me why you're looking for me!"
"Hmm, I want to invite you to my house. Don't worry. I don't have any other intentions."
"It's just because my mind is filled with the horrifying scenes I've seen in the game when I was preparing to sleep. I'm still afraid that zombies will suddenly appear in my house even when I turn on the lights."
Su Ping was puzzled after hearing Angelica's words. He thought, "Is the game I've made that scary?"
"Or did I underestimate the realism of immersive VR?"
Only then did Su Ping realize that he hadn't experienced Zombie Apocalypse.
Angelica continued and said, "Su Ping, can you come and keep me company? There's a guest room in my house. You can sleep in there."
"I'll be better when there's someone at home. You won't do anything to me since I believe in your character."
"Please… The next time I promote your game, I won't charge you!"
Su Ping could tell that Angelica was really frightened due to the sincerity of her words.
Although Zombie Apocalypse was a thrilling game, players wouldn't feel too scared while playing the game.
The nightmarish part was players thinking about the scenes of the games during the night!
Brave people might not be scared when playing the game. However, they might be horrified by inadvertently thinking of the plot and scenes in the game late at night or when staying alone.
Consequently, they began to fear what they could imagine.
In the end, Su Ping agreed to Angelica's request. After all, he had to take care of his partner's mental health.
Furthermore, Su Ping decided to let Angelica promote Zombie Apocalypse season two.
Su Ping spent the night at Angelica's home. The next morning, he was woken up by a loud knock on the door while deep asleep.
Su Ping vaguely heard Angelica's voice coming from outside. Su Ping almost thought that zombies were coming since he was in his half-awake state.
However, Su Ping realized that things were not what he thought when he listened carefully.
"Su Ping, get up! Have a look at Steam!"
After a while, Su Ping looked at the number of downloads on Steam calmly.
Besides, Angelica was extremely excited, as if she was the one who made the game.
"It's incredible. It hasn't even been a day, but your game has exceeded 100000 downloads on Steam!"
As Angelica was talking, she shook her head in pity.
"What a great loss! If it's a paid game, you can earn millions of Yuan from the game even if it is charged ten Yuan per download!"
"Sigh, I don't understand why you don't like money. Don't you need money to make the game? Do you have enough money?"
Su Ping thought, "Does the game's production require money?"
"Hehe! It's the system that does all the work!"
Su Ping would definitely not tell Angelica about the system's existence. Hence, he nodded and said, "It's not a problem about the money."
When Angelica heard Su Ping's answer, she stuck out her tongue and said cutely, "It makes me envious of rich people like you!"
"If the other individual game developer hears what you said, they will be indignant!"
Meanwhile, the live-streaming industry ushered in another day as the sun gradually rose.
Usually, most streamers would start their live stream in the afternoon or evening since people liked to watch live streams during that time.
Since most people were working or in class in the mornings and afternoons, no one typically had time to watch live streams.
However, things weren't as usual today.
All popular streamers with millions or even tens of millions of subscribers started their live streams at the same time, early in the morning!
