Chapter 426: Chapter 150: Crush!_3

Already cornered by Tuanzi.

It’s like catching a turtle in a jar.

Life hanging by a thread, on the verge of breaking.

Suddenly!

Hum!

A golden light spread out from three chess pieces!

Tuanzi was stunned.

Before she could regain her senses.

Several more golden rays undulated one after another, just before the opponent’s turn was about to end.

Looking again at the three blue-quality chess pieces, although their quality had not changed.

But their appearance and the skills displayed above them had drastically transformed!

Immediately afterward, the opponent made a move.

The skill voice followed closely.

"Soul - Prairie Fire!"

Boom!!

A fiery red shockwave spread out from the chess piece!

The entire chessboard was instantly engulfed in hellish flames.

The two pieces Tuanzi had almost breached the enemy’s defenses with were instantly obliterated!

The piece guarding home was a tank, and although it didn’t die on the spot, it was left with just a sliver of health.

And the other two casual players were utterly powerless to resist, directly tossed out of the game, eliminated!

This scene left Little Tuantu staring in shock.

"OMG, in-game upgrades now?"

"What, you’re just casually topping up your account as if you’re playing a last-minute save in Fight the Landlord?"

The barrage of comments couldn’t help but burst out.

"This is outrageous..."

"This is the confidence that mobile games give to the tycoons!"

"Steam buns, not convinced?"

"My man got desperate here, upgrading so many levels in an instant, must have maxed out the credit card..."

"Small-minded, do you think the rich man has only a few dozen credit cards?"

"I now truly understand who the target audience for this game really is... definitely not me."

"Just admit it, at the critical moment just now, the comeback from the brink of defeat felt amazing, right? /Dog Head"

The comments flooded the screen rapidly.

If just before, Tuanzi could have racked her brains to make some excuses for the developers.

Then the tactic of allowing mid-game recharges to forcefully reverse the battle was beyond her ability to endorse.

It was clear that the game catered to the tycoons.

In-game matchmaking seemed fair.

Tycoons matched with tycoons, commoners with commoners.

But in actual experience, within two or three games, one would inevitably encounter a player whose... ahem, financial power, was clearly above the other three.

After being crushed by a tycoon in one game, the tycoon enjoyed themselves.

The commoners, dying too quickly, didn’t suffer much.

Once done, the batch of commoners was sent back to queue against other commoners.

To soothe the poor guys’ feelings, they were matched against relatively weaker opponents.

In the next couple of rounds, Tuanzi encountered players who spent less than her, further proving the point.

She had fun for a few rounds.

Then in the fourth game, she met three chess pieces radiating with golden light!

Right, here to contribute to the tycoon’s emotional satisfaction again.

After thoroughly understanding the game’s matchmaking mechanism, Tuanzi was speechless.

She had no praise left to give.

At this time, the barrage pleaded.

"Streamer, please broadcast Cloud Top! Please, we’ve had enough of this cringey game! It’s not even close to number one!"

"I want to see what Baby Ke is up to this time, just a quick look, please, just a peek!"

"I’m sure, whether Cloud Top is fun or not is debatable, but the push for in-game purchases can’t be anywhere near this absurd..."

"In-game purchases? That’s a new player talking, old players know Baby Ke has always been against microtransactions! /Dog Head with flower"

Facing the viewers’ requests, Tuanzi sighed helplessly.

"Guys, you know the deal... I can’t broadcast Cloud Top right now, cough, there are rules... Just understand that no competitive games can be shown all day today."

It wasn’t just Tuanzi.

The same situation unfolded in the live streams of many popular streamers.

Initially, the group of top streamers was excited about the substantial payout, lavishing praise everywhere.

But they didn’t expect the Boomerang to return so swiftly.

After half an hour, their faces were swollen from the metaphorical slaps.

An hour later, the streamers were numb.

The popularity of their streams had halved.

Zhu Yue watched all this happen.

But he wasn’t worried.

Poor folks would indeed find this game boring.

But he could see the server’s revenue growing explosively.

The revenue had surged to the top of the charts for new mobile games this month!

Just over an hour after the game went live, the revenue had already soared past ten million+.

That meant the rich man loved it!

As for Cloud Top?

Sorry, I need a magnifying glass to find it.

Oh? How come I don’t see it in the top 50?

Oh, because you don’t have major streamers to try out and promote your game.

You just wither away?

Zhu Yue felt a surge of joy in his heart.

It seemed his decision was utterly right!

He locked down all the big game streamers for the first day of promotion and clearly stated in the contract that no other competitive games were allowed to be featured.

Once the first day showed overwhelming revenue.

With the head-start effect, the victory was set!

Then it was time to buy another wave of momentum, to disparage Cloud Top a bit.

Anyway, there was no black PR.

The data, the revenue, it was all there.

Don’t you understand the power of internet era trends, kid?

With your top player antics, stick to PC games.

Competing with us, claiming the throne in the mobile realm?

Get outta here!

Just when Zhu Yue felt more secure than ever.

At this moment.

A relatively well-known live stream channel.

Because it usually didn’t stream games, it hadn’t ended up catching the big payout from Bursting Cuteness.

The streamer in this channel was nonchalantly installing Cloud Top and getting ready to try it out.

This channel’s title was also quite unique.

In this restless internet world, where everyone clamored for attention with edgy titles and clickbait.

This channel seemed like a breath of fresh air, calm and detached.

The title simply bore four big characters.

Only Play Go.
