Chapter 185

soon.

Ji Fuliang's company, Season Technology, has begun a large-scale promotional campaign for its anime-style mobile game, "Dark Night's Decree".

Although some time ago.

The success of FGO has drawn the attention of many major game companies to the mobile game industry, and they have begun to make their moves.

But even big companies... mostly just release promotional videos.

Very, very few games actually come to fruition.

The game that Lin Shuang invested in had such poor data after the closed beta that it had to be completely reworked.

The number of players who participated in the closed beta test was not large, and even fewer players discussed it.

Therefore, from the second half of last year until now, FGO has been the undisputed leader in the mobile game field.

The timing of the large-scale promotion of "Dark Night's Decree" is perfect, and the combination of their promotional campaign with Rumi's "Nightfall" has attracted a great deal of attention.

After all, the content of the previous version of FGO has already been largely digested by players.

And the new event hasn't been launched yet.

Many hardcore players have already started farming for fodder.

For players at this stage, farming experience points and leveling up their favorite Servants is a pleasant activity.

However, perhaps because FGO's storyline is so good, many players miss the feeling of playing and watching the game while their emotions rise and fall with the exciting storyline.

So they still have some expectations that there will be new sequels to play.

And it was at this time that "Dark Night's Decree" suddenly came into their view—the official game adaptation of the famous "Nightfall"! "Dark Night's Decree"! Coming soon!

I saw an advertisement with this slogan.

Veteran anime fans simply can't handle it.

After all, unlike Tang Yao in her previous life, they didn't suffer the same fate as those who were beaten up by reskinned mobile games in the early days of mobile gaming.

They initially ate only bran.

They thought of Rumi's "Nightfall"! What a wonderful work that is!

Such a wonderful work has been adapted into a game! It's bound to be a blast!
Not to mention that fans also have a huge readership.

Many of these readers also play FGO, so they're bound to be interested to hear that their favorite manga artist's work has been adapted into a two-dimensional game.

This is not.

Not two days.

"Dark Night's Decree" quickly gained popularity in the anime and manga community, and the number of followers on their newly established official account began to rise rapidly.

At this time, the developers behind "Dark Night's Decree" began to hint at something, roughly meaning that in addition to their officially adapted game, a certain second-hand game company had also been working on a collaboration gacha pool with the same theme... It's clearly just a reskin of an old gacha pool, yet they're acting all mysterious! The official adaptation is mine!
Although it wasn't explicitly stated.

However, players easily guessed it by combining ANF's recent mysterious promotional page with the words of the developers behind "Dark Night's Decree".

Is this Avalon?
They also happen to be promoting the FGO collaboration with the manga.

So very quickly.

The news then spread.

Less than a day.

All ANF users knew that FGO was going to collaborate with the manga "Nightfall," and the silhouette of the character on the promotional page was quickly recognized... Isn't that the heroine of "Nightfall"?

Bottom of the promotional page.

Many users started making fun of it.

【Seriously, why are you being so mysterious?! Just say you're collaborating with "Nightfall"!】

[I thought it was some kind of comic, but it's just "Nightfall." You have good taste, but is it really just a reskinned version of an old gacha banner?]

It's not a mystery anymore [doge emoji].

This is awkward; someone else has exposed it.

Is it really okay to have the same theme? Others are adapting existing content, and you're just releasing a collaboration gacha pool... it doesn't seem as appealing as the other one.

【…】

Such phrases kept appearing at the bottom of the promotional page.

It's very conspicuous. ...

Avalon.

Tang Yao took a deep breath, her proud breasts heaving slightly. She wanted to get angry, but felt it was unnecessary. Yet, not getting angry made her feel suffocated: "This really is... an undeserved disaster."

Li Xue stood to the side, her expression also not good: "Is this some kind of revenge by the producers of 'Dark Night Decree'?"

"I don't know."

Tang Yao put down her hand and shook her head: "I don't know what Rumi's mother said... Actually, if we had announced it earlier, there wouldn't have been so many problems. But she just didn't want to. Now it's all over. Other manufacturers have exposed it, and we're in a passive position."

Actually, if you announce it earlier, there won't be so many problems.

The collaboration between FGO and "Nightfall" was announced directly, which is quite a gimmick.

However, the mother of the fan was unhappy that Chainsaw Man would steal the popularity of the crossover event.

Now it's all been exposed, and players are already convinced that this is just a pretense of mystery, a reskinned collaboration gacha pool...

Although the impact... Tang Yao probably won't be too great.

After all, the quality of the mobile game "Dark Night Decree" is undeniably poor, and this isn't something that can be changed by a few official adaptations.

The FGO collaboration event... was done entirely according to the standards of the game's main storyline.

But to be honest, it's really upsetting.

"I'll contact them again."

Li Xue thought for a moment and then said, "We'll also do a proper promotion as soon as possible... but isn't it too late now? They're saying our collaboration is just a reskin..."

"will not."

Tang Yao gently shook her head: "It's just a small problem, I can handle it."

Actually, this is partly because I didn't pay much attention to it and let her drag it out. You should contact her; if that doesn't work, I'll step in myself!

"There's nothing you can do if she won't budge..."

Li Xue shook her head, looking at the confident Tang Yao, and felt relieved.

"By the way, how's 'Chainsaw Man' doing?"

Tang Yao suddenly asked a question after thinking of something.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Li Xue's expression became somewhat subtle. After a long while, she replied softly, "Very good... very good. I think if you update the next two chapters, you'll most likely be able to make this comic a mainstay of the ANF comic section."

……

And at the same time.

Guan Fang also found out about this.

She stared at the computer screen with a somewhat distorted expression, never expecting things to turn out this way...

"See... you tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead."

As Mi sat behind her, she said quietly, "I told you to agree to Avalon's offer and not to play any tricks. If you had given in earlier and let them promote it, none of this would have happened. Would Avalon be afraid to compete with an unknown manufacturer?"
Now look what's happened. You're getting yelled at by the sponsors, and you haven't found a good collaboration event either. What was supposed to be a win-win situation might now turn into a lose-lose situation. They've proactively revealed that FGO is going to collaborate with "Nightfall," and they're saying that the collaboration event that Avalon and I painstakingly put together is just a reskin of the old gacha pool and a money-grabbing event.

After all that trouble, you've created a negative impression among players. If no one spends money later... you still expect to get tens of millions? Dream on!

"……madness!"

Upon hearing this, Guan Fang, though somewhat regretful, still spoke up to refute her daughter for the sake of saving face: "How could this be my problem! Isn't this Avalon's problem? Why are they in such a hurry to launch that mysterious promotional page?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Rumi laughed in exasperation: "Didn't you say you didn't want Chainsaw Man to steal the spotlight? They said their company has a second game that needs promotion! The FGO collaboration event can't be delayed too long!"

Guan Fang retorted confidently, "Wasn't that all for you? Don't you have any conscience?"

"..."

Rumi took a deep breath, not wanting to argue about it: "Then let Avalon do as they please. Don't meddle in areas you don't understand. You've read the two new chapters of Chainsaw Man that came out last week, and the comic's popularity is even higher! Don't worry about whether this comic is stealing the popularity of the collaboration event!"

"……Do not."

Upon hearing this, Guan Fang hesitated for a moment, but quickly regained her composure and said firmly, "Let's wait another week and see what happens this week! I think the comic's plot is going to fall apart this week!"
