Chapter 231 What does this have to do with me, Tang Yao?
I can tell.

The poster was a casual player who knew nothing about FGO.

When this post was first published, it didn't attract much attention.

Just quickly.

Some users clicked on the video out of curiosity and were quickly attracted by its novel live streaming mode!
Anime characters that move, laugh, and interact in real time...

These games...

There is something.

Soon, as the peak traffic season arrived late at night, the post's popularity began to rise sharply.

This seemingly ordinary promotional post, however, sparked a heated discussion due to the accompanying live stream clip.

"Holy crap! What kind of cutting-edge technology is this? The paper dolls can actually interact in real time?"

"Motion capture? That's interesting. Is ANF that anime and manga website?"

"Are mobile games really this competitive now??? Let's put aside 'Fantasy Journey to the West,' which is a familiar 2D turn-based game, but what about 'Yun' and 'Hearthstone'... are these mobile games?"

"Upstairs, I'm an FGO player, and I can tell you definitively that this is indeed a mobile game, but Hearthstone is a cross-platform game."

What does "double-ended" mean?

"It means you can log in on both the mobile and PC versions, at least that's what their official website says!"

"Holy crap! I thought mobile games were all trash, but after seeing the demo of 'Yun', I actually want to play it. I was hooked as soon as I saw the beginning. The style is so unique, and the art style is also very distinctive... And it's a buy-to-play model? I thought online game companies would just cramm in in-app purchases like crazy."

"Actually, Avalon's games are pretty good... I recommend trying FGO, the story is really good, you won't regret it!"

"I'm more interested in Hearthstone... TCG? This genre is so rare. The only one I know is a trash game called 'Doupai,' but their modifications weren't very good, and the later parts were just a mess. But this game looks really fun. After watching the matches, I think the developers behind it understand TCGs and have optimized it just right."

And the production quality is clearly very high; it makes me want to play it.

"Bro, when will these games be released for public beta?"

"Currently, ANF's game section allows pre-registration, but there are too many people wanting to pre-register..."

"..."

It's estimated that no one expected that this seemingly ordinary recommendation post would generate such a rare phenomenon, with mobile gamers, online gamers, single-player gamers, and even live stream viewers exchanging ideas in the same thread.

Interestingly, the three major groups actually formed a strange harmony in the comments section of this post.

Mobile gamers need no introduction, online gamers are interested in that turn-based game and its dual-platform login, and single-player gamers are quite interested in Hearthstone, but they are mainly interested in the unique, mobile-only buy-to-play game Yun.

As for the livestreamers, they're probably calling out to their wives right now...

Of course, they are not clearly divided; those who play mobile games may also play offline games, and those who play offline games may also play online games.

Such scenes are indeed quite rare.

And the vast majority of them have never played FGO.

At 2 a.m., the post had received over 100,000 views.

This happened on the second day.

More people saw this post.

This includes Kwan Lai-fai.

He's a pretty omnipotent gamer; he plays all sorts of games, mainly single-player, but he's not opposed to long-running online games either.

At last.

He is also a card game enthusiast.

Guan Lihui stumbled upon that post while browsing forums during his lunch break.

He was drawn to the animated, laughing, and interactive anime-style live streams, and after watching the stream...

In the end, however, he became more interested in the game.

As a card game enthusiast, he is critical of the few card games available on the market—either they have terrible balance or they are designed to force players to spend money.

But the Hearthstone demo clip in the post made his fingers pause.

Because although the game mechanics seem simple, they are not superficial.

The card effects are gorgeous yet not ostentatious, which perfectly makes up for the disadvantages of real-world TCGs.

Most importantly, this is an online game... and it's a dual-platform login.

This is indeed very appealing to him, as it's difficult for him to find someone who knows how to play cards in real life.

of course.

Another important point is that this game is not as simple as just showing a promotional video. The game seems to be completely finished, after all, the two beautiful girls in the live stream have already played three rounds.

It was after watching these three matches that I found out.

Guan Lihui then developed a strong interest.

Although the player seems a bit unskilled, the decks, game mechanics, and rules are all impressive.

very funny.

"interesting……"

Guan Lihui muttered something to himself, then read some more posts to get a general understanding of what the game was all about, before searching for "AnimationFan" on a search engine.

soon.

He opened ANF, found the games section and the corresponding game. After briefly glancing at the game's description, his attention was drawn to the gameplay mechanics as he scrolled down the page—

"Nine classes, nearly five hundred cards—build your own deck and defeat your opponents in strategic duels!"

Guan Lihui raised an eyebrow: "...Nine classes? Five hundred cards? Does that mean the deck shown in the live stream is just the tip of the iceberg? So many? Are you really that confident you won't mess it up?"

He suddenly became a little worried... worried that the decks shown in the live stream were carefully prepared.

However, there is a certain difference between the actual game and the live stream demo.

For example, the balance is terrible, but the most fun part is in the live stream.

The actual gameplay experience will be poor.

but……

Guan Lihui thought for a moment, then clicked the register account button and quickly registered an ANF account and scheduled a test.

Regardless, since he's already here, and he's genuinely interested, he'll find out once he tries it out.

At the same time, many people shared the same idea as him.

The only difference is the games we focus on.

And this cross-sector attraction of players... is exactly the effect Tang Yao wanted to see!

……

Avalon.

Live voice actor.

The mastermind behind this situation.

Tang Yao, a third-rate painter and company owner, finally felt relieved after seeing the comments below the video clip.

She knew it.

It will end up like this.

I wish I hadn't done the live stream...

I should never have drawn Chainsaw Man...

The worst part is, Chainsaw Man isn't over yet! Just think about what will happen in the later episodes!

Tang Yao felt like she was about to completely die.

Especially when she thought about the famous scenes that Fujimoto Itsuki would create later, and how the audience would eventually know that she drew the Chainsaw Man herself, and that she would no longer be able to play the role of an old man, she felt embarrassed...

Maybe we shouldn't draw it.

Let's just run away!

However, Tang Yao nipped the idea in the bud as soon as it came to mind.

No matter what, she wouldn't do something as shameful as to disregard the hard work of other staff members.

Chainsaw Man is on hiatus.

The momentum that the comic book section has worked so hard to build will dissipate.

After all, there isn't a work that can replace Chainsaw Man yet...

I guess I just have to tough it out.

and many more.

Thinking about it.

Tang Yao suddenly realized something, her pretty face flushed red as she pulled away from her arms and finally stopped slumping on the table: "They seem to only know that third-rate teachers are women... Right, what does this have to do with me, Tang Yao?"

She started to deceive herself.

And just as she was preparing to further convince herself.

"Tang Yao."

A hurried voice rang out.

Footsteps could be heard at the same time.

Tang Yao forced herself to pull herself together and turned her head away.

Cai Quan, beaming with excitement, couldn't wait to say as soon as he reached Tang Yao: "ANF's registration numbers have surged today! The growth is impressive! They're all coming for the gaming section!"

"..."

Tang Yao was slightly taken aback when she heard this, and of course she knew what it meant.

Finally... I heard some good news.

And at the same time.

Testing department.

One of the staff members looked at the message on his phone, slowly typed a question mark, and said incredulously, "What do you mean by 'poaching streamers'? This is a game company, isn't it?"

That's right.

He is Jiuxiao... or more accurately, the inside man arranged by the headhunter.
