At that moment, Pei Qian had just woken up.

  He casually browsed the news and found that the shares and funds had fallen recently. Many people on the internet were screaming that they had fallen by thousands or tens of thousands of yuan.

  “It’s a good thing that I don’t understand at all. I never buy these.”


  “Humans have to have self-awareness. Don’t rashly enter areas that you don’t understand.”


  “Otherwise, if I were to lose more than ten thousand yuan, how painful would that be? It would be worse than me earning a million yuan for the company.”


  Pei Qian could not help but praise his own intelligence.

  After washing up, he waited for take-out and checked the IOI world finals on various forums.

  Many gamers were discussing it on the forum. Some posts were posted during the competition two days ago, and some were new posts at noon today. However, there were relatively few of them.

  “FV Team is starting their performance again?”


  “The foreign teams are also starting to interact!”


  “FV Team is very popular now after all.”


  “It’s true that they are very popular. They lost a game in the group stages last week. In the end, the popularity in China and overseas was off the charts. The post-match analysis program in Europe and America used more than 70% of the time to discuss this competition and FV Team’s weakness…”


  “It can’t be helped. The impression that the international competition left on everyone last year was too deep. It has always been a demon king character. Shouldn’t the other teams brag about winning a game?”


  “FV Team should make adjustments as soon as possible. Finger Games is really too shameless. This version update is too targeted! The performance now is really worrying!”


  “Sigh, how can it be popular if we don’t perform? Everyone is low-profile. There’s no gunpowder before the competition. It can’t be exciting.”


  “The competition organizers and other clubs are obviously cooperating as well. Didn’t you realize that there are more and more interactions between the clubs? What’s more, the competition organizers’ promotional video can also be seen. It seems like they are working hard to create a demon king image for FV Team.”


  “How can they be so biased towards ICL’s team?”


  “Preference? Don’t joke around. We have to elevate the antagonist first. That way, the protagonist who defeats the antagonist would have more glory, understand?”


  “I understand now… the official platform is so scheming!”


  FV Team had continued to perform well ever since Pei Qian made that call. Not only did they review the competitions of other teams, but they also interacted crazily with their opponents or other popular teams before and after their competitions.

  The competition parties and other clubs were also very cooperative. Obviously, they were hyping up FV Team.

  This trend could obviously be seen on Weibo and various forums domestically.

  However, the domestic audience was also very smart. They could tell that this was not the official platform supporting FV Team.

  He could only say that there was no other way about the current situation. That was because FV Team was the champion last year. They had a lot of attention and traffic. What’s more, FV Team was very good at performance. They had a lot of influence on foreign forums.

  It would be a little difficult to avoid FV Team and forcefully support other European and American teams?

  On one hand, the effect would be poor. On the other hand, the opportunity to move would be too obvious.

  Therefore, IOI’s organizers had actually adopted a more reliable method. On the surface, they looked like they were openly expressing their approval of FV Team and gave them many opportunities to show their faces. However, in fact, once FV Team lost, the team that won against them could instantly snatch all of their popularity away.

  Then, the organizers of the competition would be able to make use of these popularity to create enough topics to transfer all these popularity to themselves.

  There was no other way. At the moment, there was too little discussion about IOI’s international competition. It was being suppressed by GOG’s international invitational tournament. If he did not hype it up, he would really enter the elimination round without making a sound.

  Facts had proven that doing this was indeed effective. The key was which team would ultimately win the championship.

  Pei Qian heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this.

  There was no need to talk about who won the championship. At the very least, IOI’s international competition was becoming popular.

  What Pei Qian was most afraid of was not FV Team winning the championship, but that the popularity of IOI’s international competition would never become popular. It would not pose a threat to GOG at all.

  He had to choose the lesser of two evils. It would be an acceptable outcome if FV could bring IOI’s international competition to success.

  After flipping through a few more pages, he did not see any new posts.

  IOI’s competition would only start at night after all. The discussion about yesterday’s competition was almost done. The popularity of the forum had obviously decreased by a huge margin.

  However, just as Pei Qian was about to leave, he saw a new post.

  This new post was not discussing IOI’s competition, but GOG!

  “???”


  Pei Qian had an ominous feeling as he quickly clicked on it.

  “GOG’s version has been updated. There’s a new viewing system that directly cleared the game and live-stream platform. Even though it’s still a testing version, gamers are already playing happily, waiting for today’s competition. Sigh, IOI really can’t do anything. This matter is always one step slower than others. It’s no wonder that GOG has been riding on it.”


  Soon, many people started leaving messages.

  “Slow down? Are you sure you’re just one step slower? I think it’s good enough that IOI can be created within half a year!”


  “Clearing the game client and live-stream platform? What’s the use? Aren’t we still watching the competition?”


  “Of course not. The details of the competition can be seen at a glance, but there are too much content to be discussed! Let’s not talk about anything else. IOI’s competition is only the last damage panel. You can’t see the other data, such as injury, treatment, eye contact, player skills plus points, current experience points, right? You can’t even find it on the website, right? However, GOG’s system allows you to directly OB the game in the client. You can switch between the camera freely and check the stats of the heroes. You can see everything!”


  “Wouldn’t we not be able to hear the commentary then?”


  “Do you think people who think you can think of can’t think of it? It has its own functions. You can listen to different commentators from different sources. You can also directly pop up the window and open the official live-stream. It’s simply two things!”


  “It sounds a little advanced!”


  “What black technology? I heard that they are not particularly advanced technology. It’s just that the interests here are more complicated. It’s very difficult for game companies and live-stream platforms to cooperate.”


  “I think it has something to do with GOG’s complete viewing system. IOI doesn’t seem to pay much attention to this. Many players have given their opinions, but they haven’t changed it. It’s still so difficult to use!”


  This post quickly received a lot of replies. While IOI’s gamers expressed their envy, jealousy, and hatred, they also expected better from IOI.

  This feeling was very complicated. He should have been used to it long ago, but he was still very jealous.

  Did this function improve the viewing pleasure of the competition?

  There must be.

  Those who watched the competition on live-stream platforms could only follow the official OB’s camera. Many details could not help but be overlooked.

  Many viewers could only watch the official video over and over again if they wanted to review the game. They could not see the details that they should not.

  That included a lot of time and skills, the details of the line, and the impact of every player when they made a decision. It would take a lot of patience to dig out this information through the official video.

  However, GOG’s audience could freely OB and watch whatever they wanted. All the information in the game’s match could not be hidden.

  More information would inevitably bring more topics and higher discussion.

  There had never been a shortage of venues in the audience. They were best at finding the key points that affected the flow of the competition in very subtle places. GOG’s new function was undoubtedly to give the venues a higher-definition microscopy!

  Many people were also discussing when this function was developed.

  Some said that this function had definitely been developed a long time ago. They had been preparing for it for at least a few months just for the international competition.

  Some people also said that this function was not difficult with the current level of technology. What’s more, GOG had long made a very complete OB system in the game. It could be made very quickly with a sudden attack after leaving an interface.

  Others said that the development of this function itself was not the key. The key was to cooperate well with the live-stream platform. Both sides had to work together and could not wrangle with each other. Otherwise, it would be impossible to create it.

  Pei Qian was puzzled as well.

  That’s right. When did he create this function?

  It looked like he had been preparing for a long time. Could Chen Yufeng have done it secretly?

  The Suffering Travels was not wronging him. In fact, he had to give him more!

  As he was browsing the posts, the posts disappeared.

  They were being deleted!

  Obviously, the owner saw that the post was getting more and more popular and the gunpowder was getting stronger, so he deleted the post.

  That was because as the number of people discussing increased, many people would naturally start comparing GOG and IOI and scolding IOI. The two groups of people would easily argue and cause a foul atmosphere.

  The founder also knew that there was no point in arguing about this. The key was that it was impossible for Finger Games to scold this function even if they scolded Finger Games. They might as well delete the post and let everyone continue to discuss the game and the competition.

  There was no other way. If he allowed everyone to continue discussing, would the forum be IOI’s or GOG’s?

  In the end, this was obviously meaningless because everyone had gone somewhere else to discuss!

  Pei Qian felt light-headed. Something was amiss!

  This was not a simple viewing system.

  This viewing system allowed the audience to see more details in the competition. In other words, this would provide them with a lot of discussion materials.

  This would definitely increase the popularity of certain key competitions!

  That was because if one really wanted to take a microscopy and look at each player’s performance, they would be able to make up for several posts. The linear performance in the competition, the key team battle, and so on could make up for several posts.

  In addition, many UP Masters could create their own OBs after the competition. It would also greatly increase the popularity of the competition.

  Another important point was that this function was directly tied to Bunny Tail Live-Stream. It was equivalent to having a platform for Bunny Tail Live-Stream in all GOG clients!

  If GOG’s international invitational tournament became extremely popular before, during, and after the competition, wouldn’t IOI’s hard-earned popularity be suppressed again?
