Chapter 763: Chapter 238: League of Legends, Activate!_3

Moreover, an up-to-the-minute piece of news almost made Mide’s mouth curl to the back of his head.

He learned that Head Player’s approach to promoting "League of Legends" was not the usual one.

They went straight for esports.

And the starting point of the promotion was still internet cafes...

Upon hearing this, Mide almost lost his teeth laughing.

Who goes to internet cafes to play games these days?

In Europe and America, we don’t even have the concept of internet cafes!

Even in your Huaxia Nation, with economic development,

The culture of internet cafes is also being phased out.

Are you expecting internet cafe culture to boost your game?

Don’t be too hilarious!

"Designer Ke really lost his mind this time."

"We don’t even need to lift a finger."

"In less than a month, ’League of Legends’ will implode."

"By then, we’ll reap the benefits of this situation and firmly grasp the Huaxia market, leaving Head Player with no chance to retaliate," Mide said quietly with a smirk of certainty.

————

"Let’s be honest, did Mr. Ke really make a mistake this time..."

Meng Qun walked out of an internet cafe looking dejected, still muttering under his breath.

This was the third internet cafe that had rejected him.

After "The Battle of Twin Cities" received good response, Mr. Ke, with a stroke of his pen, decided to implement the internet cafe promotional system.

About 500 new employees were specially recruited by Head Player.

After recruitment, they were not settled in the company but were distributed all over the country.

They didn’t even have time to reunite with their families during the New Year.

What for?

Right, offline salespeople.

Specifically responsible for promoting the game "League of Legends" in internet cafes in major first and second-tier cities, and introducing them to the esports tournament system.

Originally, a bunch of fresh university graduates, well aware of Head Player’s reputation, were breaking their heads to get into the company.

When Meng Qun learned he was hired, he even shared the news in a large school group, immediately shocking a couple hundred people in the group.

Some even from the gaming design major voiced their grievances: "What the heck? My graduation project even won awards, and when I went for the interview, they said I was too outstanding, scared to hire me???"

"The excuse for rejection sounds so fake, right! What company doesn’t hire because someone is too outstanding?"

"And how come you, a civil engineering major, get through the interviews just like that? It’s more painful than killing me, damn!"

At that time, Meng Qun in the group chat, seeing his buddies’ envious and jealous looks, felt a bit secretly thrilled.

But the thrill didn’t last long before he even entered the headquarters of Head Player.

He was immediately dispatched to the neighboring Jianghai City.

What to do.

Since he was already there, just do what needs to be done.

Mr. Ke also said this was like a probation period.

As long as the promotion was successful, later on, he could be employed as an official staff member of Head Player, enjoying benefits far superior to those in similar companies.

Initially, Meng Qun was full of confidence.

When he first walked into an internet cafe.

The owner, upon hearing he was an employee of Head Player.

Even though he mentioned several times about the probation period, the cafe owner was still enthusiastic, serving him tea and water, and almost willing to offer him a VIP status.

But when he talked to the owner about installing the game "League of Legends."

The owner suddenly fell silent.

He then pointed behind him.

At a group of customers all playing "Zerg Struggle."

"Kid, it’s not that I don’t want to install it, it’s just that nowadays, not many people play online games, and this ’League of Legends’ is an action game... sounds weird. And ’Zerg Struggle’ is very popular in the country recently, even if I install it, almost no one would play it, plus we’d have to bear the extra bandwidth cost, I would just let it slide."

"That esports tournament thing you mentioned... I know esports has been developing well in recent years, but internet cafe tournaments... that just sounds too low, really no interest. What team would want a professional player who emerged from an internet cafe..."

"No, boss, just add ’League of Legends’ to your main server, it’s really no trouble," Meng Qun insisted.

"Kid, maybe you should ask somewhere else, I am at an age too, I don’t want much trouble, seriously sorry," the boss gently declined Meng Qun, and showed him the door.

That was still a nice attitude.

When he consulted the third place.

The boss seemed to have some grudge against Head Player.

He thought Head Player had ruined the previous gaming market, where five or six years ago many Tengjing and Netcom players came to his shop to recharge their cards, and he made a killing with the commissions.

Since Head Player drastically reduced the recharge limits in Huaxia, fewer and fewer players were willing to spend money.

Coupled with the rise of the standalone market.

It became harder and harder to run an internet cafe.

As soon as he heard Meng Qun was an employee of Head Player, he immediately turned cold.

"No installation! Just go! What ’League of Legends’? Never even heard of it, can this crappy game become popular? I dunno how much longer your company can last, sooner or later it’d be utterly ruined by ’Zerg Struggle!’"

Faced with the boss’s such an attitude, Meng Qun also felt displeased.

Although he wasn’t officially listed, he was still part of Head Player.

So he retorted.

"You’ll regret it! Mr. Ke’s decisions have never gone wrong!"

"Get lost, still talking about regret, hahaha. If this crappy game ever becomes popular, I’ll directly give you this internet cafe!" The boss, Mustache Hu, shoved Meng Qun out the door without any mercy and spat on the ground, cursing, "There’s another internet cafe across the road, go bother them, don’t fucking disgust me!"
