The official statisticians looked incredulously at the numbers on the screen. "Oh my god, it has already surpassed five million! Without any promotion, there are actually so many fans!"
"Let's wait a bit longer. I think there are still many people who don't know about it. With Blade Warrior's appeal, breaking ten million is definitely not a problem."
"If we delay for another ten minutes, we may create a record. Shall we discuss with those two players on how to do it?"
"You fool, use your brain. What have you been doing all day? Even after all this time, you still don't know Blade Warrior's character. He doesn't really care about money or popularity. He purely follows his own interests. I'm almost certain that he is either a rich kid or a secret weapon of the military. He doesn't care about money at all. Therefore, he does whatever he wants. People with such personalities hate being disturbed, you know!"
The manager, like a bullet, spewed out a string of words, scolding the employee mercilessly. Then he went to command the others. Blade Warrior didn't leave them much time, nor was he easy to communicate with. But what could they do? He was a big shot, after all. Since this warrior rose to fame in one battle, the online rate of players has increased by a whopping three percentage points. After conducting an online survey, they found that 80% of the players were attracted by Blade Warrior, and 30% of the players admitted that their interest had increased largely because of Blade Warrior.
Space War game itself is a massively multiplayer online game that cannot be described by the term popular. It is a term that deeply resonates with people. However, as operators, they also have to think about how to continue to improve. The easiest and most effective way is to create a star, and Blade Warrior is a treasure that fell from the sky. Last quarter's settlement showed that Space War's revenue actually increased by an unprecedented 23%. This is an unprecedented great achievement, and undoubtedly, the manager received the board of directors' reward. If he can persist for a year, his promotion is certain.
The only command from above is to fully cooperate with Blade Warrior and meet all of his demands, even if some of them are outrageous. In short, anyone who makes Blade Warrior disappear can pack up and leave!
Many of the preparations for the Blade Warrior challenge have already been made. As soon as the challenge was established, all advertisements were deployed immediately. Additionally, a new feature was added: an online reminder function. Although this function had been operational before, its effectiveness was poor. However, things are different now. Blade Warrior is an elusive figure with an unpredictable online presence, and many players have work or school commitments and cannot wait around indefinitely. Therefore, it is best to have advance notice, but no one can demand that of Blade Warrior. Fortunately, an official employee came up with the idea, and his reward was a promotion and a triple bonus at the end of the year. Of course, this employee is also a devout follower of the Blade Warrior, so his contribution was not unexpected.
The Blade Warrior's online reminder will be transmitted directly to Tiantun via message in a high-level alert format. This includes a ten-minute reminder before the Blade Warrior's battle begins, as well as detailed information about the opponents and the battle itself.
The third item is Tiantun Live, which is very expensive. It is generally unaffordable for students or ordinary workers, as it is a timed charge of ten Federal Shields per minute – almost like robbing people of their money. However, the operation of this service will give Blade Warrior a 3% share, as explicitly stated by law. Only a few of the generals enjoy this benefit.
Many things happened within five minutes. Someone was having dinner with their girlfriend when suddenly their Tiantun rang. The man casually glanced at it, but his expression changed dramatically and he apologized before disappearing.
The girl was about to get angry when she suddenly saw a message on her Tiantun. She then ran off without a care for her ladylike image – a typical Space War enthusiast.
Skipping class is not so easy for students anymore, as the teachers are not fools. Skipping once is acceptable, but two or three times becomes a major problem. Recently, schools have been locking their doors during classes, so it's not easy to sneak out anymore.
Of course, if you don't have money, there are other ways to enjoy the battle. Tiantun offers online text broadcasts, which may not be as enjoyable as watching the battles, but can still satisfy your cravings.
"Entering the final three minutes, the on-site viewing will be closed in the last thirty seconds!"
"The number of viewers of TianXun Online Live has surpassed 200,000, of which 20% are from NUP!"
The staff kept shouting out the constantly refreshing data. They also couldn't suppress their excitement. Although the Space War game was mixed, in reality, NUP players rarely played on USE, and USE players rarely went to NUP. However, now, 20% of NUP citizens are paying to watch on TianXun, which is unprecedented!
Fortunately, it is now just after working hours, and many people have time. Unfortunately, if it were postponed for another hour, the number of viewers could at least double. The staff looked at the screen with some regret. There really are all sorts of people in this world. Some people don't care about money or fame. But thinking about it, people like Blade Warrior are probably big shots in reality, and they don't care at all.
The staff also speculated randomly. In any case, Blade Warrior is their bread and butter now. Since he appeared, they have rarely been scolded, and they have seen nothing but their superiors' smiling faces.
The players are on high alert, staring at the big screen intently. The players who prefer practical combat have already been moved to the point of trembling. Death Knight, who ranks ninth on the list of candidates suitable to challenge Blade Warrior, is a super warrior with 321 wins, zero losses, and five ties. And the other one!" The live commentator's voice began to rise, "is the highly anticipated miracle creator, the eternal BS001, the eternal Blade Warrior!"
