Chapter 94: Chapter 55: Wind Traveler Sales Surpass 100,000! Mr. Ke, with a Broken Dao Heart, Transforms into a Demon!_1

Ke Jin had been living quite leisurely these past few days.

Playing games at home.

And then, in the name of his sister, asking her best friend out for a meal, hoping to get closer to that gentle and kind sister.

After all, someone else’s sister always seems better.

Of course, although Ke Jin always said he would treat every time they entered a restaurant.

But after having a lively chat with the best friend, toasting and feasting to their heart’s content.

He would decisively pat his sister’s shoulder, saying that there was an urgent matter at the company, and that it was her turn next.

After saying that, he’d leave with a toothpick dangling from his lips.

Leaving Ke Yu and Luo Xinlin in disarray with the winds.

There was a reason, after all, that Ke Jin gave.

I treat ladies to meals, which is perfectly normal, right? Everyone loves beauty.

But I never said I’d pick up the tab.

Good news: I tried.

Bad news: I didn’t grasp the situation.

Moreover.

What’s my relationship with Baby Yu?

It’s like we wore the same pair of pants growing up—not a metaphor.

Using Baby Yu’s money to chase girls doesn’t weigh on my conscience at all, okay.

"But you’re using my money to chase my girl!" At one point, Ke Yu just couldn’t take it anymore and blocked Ke Jin at the door, gnashing her teeth and stretching her arms across the doorframe, using her petite body to block the path of the big bad guy.

"Oh, not pretending anymore?"

"Pretend... pretend what?" Ke Yu was taken aback, her cheeks flushing red: "Brother, what are you talking about? I don’t understand... She and I are close! Best friends... best friends joke around from time to time, you know, saying things like ’you’re my girl, make Big Bro happy’ and all that..."

Ke Jin squinted at his younger sister, whose cheeks were reddening as she scrambled to explain.

I’m too embarrassed to point it out!

"Give me the money! Where is it written that girls should always be the ones to pay for meals? It should at least be split evenly!" Ke Yu insisted with puffed cheeks, extending her hand towards Ke Jin: "You’re old enough, stop taking advantage of your sister!"

But Ke Jin lightly swatted away her hand, shamelessly defaulting: "I won’t, aren’t girls people too? This is to foster your sense of independence early on. Now say thank you to your brother."

"Pfft! The last few times you skipped out on the bill, it was Xinlin who ended up paying every time. She said, ’Brother just started his business not long ago; he might be a little tight on money,’ so she always rushed to pick up the tab for you."

"Hiss..." Ke Jin reached for his wallet: "Where is it written that girls should always be the ones to pay for meals."

As he spoke, he pulled out several banknotes and slapped them into Ke Yu’s hand and, after thinking it over, decided it wasn’t enough and took out a few more.

"This is to repay Xinlin, don’t you swallow it all yourself, got it?"

Ke Yu: "..."

"You son of a—! You’re really such a..." As she looked at her brother’s grinning face, Ke Yu hated herself for being too civilized for the first time.

Hi everyone, I’m Ke Yu, someone who can’t even curse properly, woohoo...

But they say what goes around comes around.

And Ke Jin, who had just finished teasing his little sister, soon tasted his own medicine.

He hadn’t paid much attention to the backend revenue for several days, giving himself a mental break.

After Ke Yu left in a huff, he opened the dashboard to see what was going on.

Seeing the sales volume accumulated to over 89,000 on the system interface, Ke Jin’s smile shifted to someone else’s face.

He certainly couldn’t muster a smile anymore.

"Oh crap..."

Trouble!

"But it was only a few thousand in sales when I checked a few days ago..."

"I remember it was only around thirteen thousand on Tuesday..."

How did it suddenly hit ninety thousand?

With two days left, given the trend, it felt like a hundred thousand couldn’t be stopped.

Due to such a swift switch between joy and sorrow, Ke Jin found himself devoid of any particular emotions at the moment.

Aside from confusion, then scratching his head foolishly.

He was aware that a couple of days earlier, Thunderbolt released a video related to "Wind Traveler."

That video surged to two or three million views in just two days.

But a video is just a video, and popularity is just popularity.

To completely translate that into actually buying requires time to settle.

At least, it wouldn’t show such a big improvement so quickly.

Games that are sold outright, due to being squeezed by the prevalent freemium models, have a tougher time surviving.

On Blue Star, an outright sale of a hundred thousand units would instantly be considered a premium title.

That says something about the value of a hundred thousand units.

If it were that easy to achieve, then game companies should stop making games properly and just focus on paying for high-profile video creators to make quality fan content on video platforms, right?

"No, there has to be more to it."

"Could it be that those kids at the company have been pulling strings behind my back?"

Ke Jin, unable to figure it out, made a phone call back to the company.

He tactfully inquired with Gou Chehua.

But from Hua Zi’s clueless response, it seemed the company hadn’t meddled this time.

He then searched online to find out where exactly the problem lay.

Damn it! What made you all feel the urge to spend money? We’ll change whatever it is right away, okay!

With "Wind Traveler" having gained obvious popularity these past couple of days, a significant number of streamers in the livestreaming community had started broadcasting the game.

Though it didn’t match the previous success of "Goose Duck Kill" and "Skyline," a casual scroll through would reveal live gameplay sessions.

That would contribute to some sales, but this wasn’t the key to winning.

Ke Jin moved onto larger media platforms, checking out places like Weibo and Douyin for more insights.
