Pei Qian rested his head in his hands and fell silent.
He had to admit that there were experts amongst the netizens.
They had actually analyzed the cause and effect of this matter so clearly and were even more clear headed than Pei Qian, the boss hidden behind Dawn Games platform.
However…
This was not a good thing!
Did the Dawn Games platform possess the art of slaying dragons?
How was this slaying a dragon? It’s obviously going to kill me!
Of course, Pei Qian knew very well what the netizen meant. When he said ‘dragon slaying’, he meant that the mechanism of the Dawn Games platform had formed a certain dimensional reduction attack on other gaming platforms. It was a magical technique that was completely different. It was extremely powerful and difficult to imitate. That was why it was called ‘dragon slaying’.
On the other hand, as long as he obtained a perfect opportunity, such as a super explosive game, the Dragon Slayer Art would be useful.
However, that made sense. No matter how Pei Qian looked at it, he felt that the dragon slaying knife was always ready to hack at him.
“What a scam!”
“I was hoping that this critics system would be able to turn the tables. In the end, they announced that I was dead before it officially began?”
Pei Qian refused to give up. He had been pressed under Five Finger Mountain and had thought that he was about to turn the tables. However, after struggling for a long time, he realized that he was still within the range.
What’s more, he went from crawling to lying down. The pressure was even more dead weight…
However, he could not think of a good solution for now.
Many things were out of his control when he handed the rights to players.
“Since we can’t think of a good solution for now, we shouldn’t act rashly. Let’s wait and see.”
“After all, the popularity of the games platform is not something that can be achieved overnight. There should still be time to consider it carefully.”
Pei Qian quietly closed the relevant webpage and fell into deep thought once again.
…
…
September 26th, Wednesday…
Pei Qian received a call from his good brother Eric not long after he woke up.
“Why are you calling me so early in the morning? Can’t you let me rest?”
Pei Qian looked at his watch. It was only past 9 AM. He had just woken up and had not even brushed his teeth.
However, he had to pick it up immediately since it was a call from his good brother.
“Boss Pei, uh…”
Eric was silent for a moment after exchanging greetings on the other end of the line. He was a little hesitant.
Pei Qian could not help but feel nervous. He quickly asked, “What’s wrong? Your higher management did not agree?”
Eric paused for a moment and explained, “After I reported, the upper echelons of the headquarters had an emergency meeting to discuss. Yes… they accepted most of the conditions.”
Obviously, Dayak Corporation’s upper echelons did not expect Boss Pei to fully accept this condition. They felt a little guilty.
They quickly held a meeting to discuss if there was a trap behind this.
Pei Qian continued asking, “What about the outcome of the discussion? What are the conditions that they cannot accept?”
He was a little puzzled. This was obviously an unfair agreement. There were a lot of obligations for GOG to fulfill, but there were basically no obligations for IOI to fulfill.
What was there to reject from Dayak Corporation’s higher management?
Eric explained, “To be precise, they hoped to add another condition to the original conditions.”
“Both parties will jointly fund this event.
“The name of this event is ‘Gods’ Fantasy, Coexistence At The Peak’. Of course, this name was suggested by Boss Zhao Xuming.”
“The content of the event is to set a popular target for the two games. The popularity mainly refers to players being active and the number of online players. When the two games achieve their respective goals, players will be able to obtain generous physical rewards.”
“Of course, this physical reward will be given by both of our companies…”
Eric’s voice became softer and softer. Even he felt a little lost.
It was indeed a little inhumane to ask for sky-high prices time and time again.
However, there was no helping it. He could not be benevolent in business. What’s more, the other party was the cunning Boss Pei. He could not be sympathetic.
Thus, he seriously introduced the details of the event.
Pei Qian nodded. “Eh? The name of this event is not bad. Boss Zhao, not bad.”
He pondered seriously for a moment and quickly understood the intentions of this event.
The name of the event, ‘Gods’ Fantasy, Coexistence At The Peak’ was quite good. He could not tell that Zhao Xuming was talented in naming.
However, on further thought, Zhao Xuming was the overall-in-charge of Long Yu Corporation’s IOI agent after all. This was his old profession. It was not surprising that he had come up with a beautiful name.
Why did he come up with such a name?
That was because GOG’s full name was’ Glory of Gods’, IOI’s full name was’ Image of Infinity’, which was ‘Endless Fantasy ‘.

As for why the names of these two games were similar, it was because Pei Qian had named GOG based on this format.
The event this time took a name from each side to become ‘Gods Fantasy’ from both games.
After adding the words ‘Coexistence At The Peak’, it hinted at the two games holding hands and making a huge profit together.
Of course, these were all done for gamers on the surface. Even if they could not wait to beat each other’s brains out in private, they had to save face.
That was because in the end, the event this time was meant to direct traffic from GOG to IOI. Thus, they had to put on a ‘we are good brothers’ attitude. If they deliberately emphasized the competitive relationship between the two parties, it would definitely cause GOG players to feel disgusted. At that time, they would rather not be rewarded than play IOI. Wouldn’t that be very awkward?
As for the specific content of the event, it could be seen as the original content that became more intense.
This event was jointly funded by both parties to provide physical rewards. The way to obtain these rewards was for both games to reach their respective popular goals.
However, the problem was that GOG was more popular than IOI.
In order to make IOI as popular as possible, gamers had to visit IOI more often, play more games, and top up as much as possible.
In fact, he was still thinking of ways and means to lure GOG players to IOI.
Eric was also thinking about his own matters while Pei Qian was seriously thinking about the specific details of this plan. He was silent for a moment on the phone.
Eric was considering the thoughts of the higher-ups.
There were many GOG players, but few IOI players. What’s more, gamers were losing from IOI to GOG. That was a fact.
If he organized such an event, he would have to take the risk that IOI players would continue to disappear.
However, there were risks and opportunities.
It might be more difficult for GOG’s gamers to convert to IOI, but it was impossible for there to not be a single gamer left after attracting a batch of them, right?
Even if only a small number of gamers remained, wouldn’t that still be a fresh source of income?
Someone had to be tired of playing GOG and want to change their taste.
What was IOI struggling for if it thought that none of GOG’s players could be retained? It might as well give up resisting and directly surrender.
The upper echelons of Dayak Corporation still felt that IOI had a fighting chance from the bottom of their hearts. Otherwise, they would have sold it long ago.
This confidence made them feel that IOI players would not lose a large number of players because of such an event.
What’s more, during this event period, IOI’s various data, be it in terms of activity, popularity, or charging data, would definitely be very good. There were tangible economic benefits.
The main problem that Dayak Corporation’s upper echelons were thinking about now was not to fight GOG to the death. That would prevent them from earning money.
They hoped to make more money while IOI was in its current state and try to salvage the losses.
This combined event was actually a good time. After all, the event had a data goal that could only be achieved by charging money in IOI.
It was normal to take risks in the face of such benefits.
What’s more, IOI had sneakily put on two faces: In order to prevent players from losing players in the game, IOI would not give good rewards to gamers who went to play GOG. However, in the ‘Gods’ Fantasy, Coexistence At The Peak’ event outside the game, IOI had to bear half of the reward.
The latter was mainly to shut players up so that they would not be at a disadvantage in terms of morality. The former was to reduce their losses as much as possible.
Eric looked at the stakes and felt very apprehensive.
He did not know if such a choice was appropriate.
However, the good thing was that he was only a mouthpiece now. He did not need to worry about such things anymore. He also did not need to face Boss Pei directly.
In any case, he could not push the blame away no matter what.
After both of them considered for a while, Pei Qian said, “Alright, I agree to this condition.”
“Let’s generate some popularity together and win together.”
Pei Qian spoke very sincerely. From a certain perspective, his actions were indeed ‘win-win cooperation’.
GOG would make less money, IOI would make more money, and IOI would last longer. Wouldn’t that be a win-win situation?
Eric chuckled. “Of course.”
He might say ‘of course’, but he did not believe a single word in his heart.
Boss Pei was not telling the truth. Whoever believed him would have to count the money on his behalf if they believed him!
In fact, Eric had been thinking hard for a long time now. He had probably guessed Boss Pei’s intentions.
Perhaps he was going to poach more players from IOI through this event?
However, this was like two experts competing in internal energy. You might have stronger internal energy, but you could only use 30% of your strength. I could use 100% of my strength. It was unknown what the final outcome would be.
After hanging up, Eric reminded himself again that he was just a mouthpiece anyway. He would not be held responsible if something went wrong. He should not get involved blindly.
Zhao Xuming stood by the side and asked, “So… Boss Pei agreed?”
Eric nodded. “He agreed. We can start preparing for the relevant activities.”
“By the way, Boss Pei also praised you for the event’s name.”
Zhao Xuming’s eyes lit up. “Eh? Really? It’s my honor to be praised by Boss Pei!”
Eric teased him. “Actually, based on Boss Pei’s appreciation for you, Boss Zhao, you might be able to get a job when IOI really becomes a failure.”
Zhao Xuming quickly waved his hand. “You can’t say that nonsense! I’m a loyal subject of Long Yu Corporation! Why would I seek refuge with my old enemy, Boss Pei? That’s impossible!”
“I’ll go and prepare for the event now.”
Zhao Xuming immediately turned around and left the office quickly.
