Is the war simulator absolutely safe?
Xu Meng wasn't willing to guarantee that.
Otherwise, every sold device wouldn't come with an insurance policy.
But to say that war simulators, omnidirectional treadmills, and haptic feedback suits are dangerous, Xu Meng absolutely couldn't agree with that.
— These things have sold hundreds of thousands of units, and nothing major has happened. This already proves the reliability of the equipment.
Moreover… this questioning came too quickly!
Zhumeng isn't completely without news channels in the US.
But from the time that player named Jacob was injured to the media attention, there was almost no gap in between!
It's like they knew this was going to happen in advance.
Even if the US reporters ran as fast as Hong Kong reporters, there's no reason they'd all be paying attention to such a small matter, right?
So, who did it?
There's no need to think about it at all.
Besides "Super Candy Treasure" SBI, Zhumeng has no other competitors in the US at this time.
Now that the decisive moment is about to arrive and Zhumeng's new game is showing great momentum, SBI can't help but want to pull some tricks. Xu Meng wouldn't be surprised.
Of course, these are all just guesses for now.
Xu Meng was eager to leave the competition venue to verify this guess!
Now, Xu Meng isn't as clueless about SBI and the interest chains behind it as he was at the beginning.
When Kabo left the apartment, Xiao Meng didn't let him turn off the computer.
That computer is still on now.
Xiao Meng used this springboard to follow the clues along the SBI executives and key figures, and has already uncovered a large network of relationships.
From game companies to game media, to diversified organizations, opinion leaders, and even some blatant transfers of benefits, all are on this network.
Now Xu Meng picked out the media and writers who hyped up this matter, and Xiao Meng only took one look and found the names of six of them on this network!
"Boss, should we hire a lawyer, or have the people from the branch talk to this injured player and settle this matter privately?"
Zu Rongyao asked Xu Meng for his opinion.
Xu Meng asked instead: "Is this player male, female, or neither?"
"Ah?" Zu Rongyao didn't react for a moment, "Male… right?"
After saying that, he was a little uncertain, "Wait, let me take another look."
He flipped through the reports and found that the media that first reported this matter used [they] as Jacob's pronoun.
Now, he also tasted a different flavor.
"Boss, do you think this wasn't an accident?"
"I can't be sure," Xu Meng shook his head.
"So, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Let's handle it according to the traditional American process."
"Understood," Zu Rongyao nodded and contacted the staff at the US branch.
— The traditional American process is naturally to hire a lawyer first when something happens.
Even if money really has to be paid, the insurance company will pay it.
Let that Jacob argue with the insurance company. Zhumeng doesn't have the extra energy to entangle with this.
Xu Meng asked the branch to hire a lawyer to prevent the Consumer Product Safety Commission from really issuing an injunction, affecting the normal sales of the Mirage gaming kit.
After arranging this matter, he looked back at the follow-up of the Blazing Flame Confrontation and found that several streamers were already washing their hair upside down.
Others were angrily saying in the live broadcast room:
"We were tricked by Xu Meng!"
"The retired soldiers he found are not the average level of retired soldiers at all!"
"I've written down this grudge. Let's wait and see on November 8th!"
… …
Xu Meng laughed, and his mood immediately improved a lot.
It's better to go back early and prepare for the Global Survival Competition on November 8th.
The Heroic Sniper stayed for two more days to learn about the housing market around Zhumeng before leaving.
After this, the country briefly calmed down.
But foreign countries became more and more lively.
— Not because of Jacob's injury and demand for high compensation. That matter didn't cause much of a stir in the player circle.
What really made overseas players dissatisfied was:
Why is Zhumeng holding a National Confrontation Competition instead of a Global Confrontation Competition?
Aren't we overseas players Zhumeng's users?
This matter was a big fuss, and some players even threatened Xu Meng: If you don't give us a chance to participate, we will snipe you in the Survival Competition!
Although Xu Meng wasn't afraid of everyone sniping him, the mood of overseas players couldn't be ignored.
He held a small meeting in the company to discuss the feasibility of upgrading the [National Confrontation Competition] to a [Global Confrontation Competition].
These "former losers" who had won a great victory were in high spirits and full of confidence. One by one, they patted their chests and guaranteed to Xu Meng—
"There will definitely be no problem!"
So two days later, the overseas account of "Beyond War" issued a statement, solemnly stating that Zhumeng highly valued all global players, had listened to the opinions of overseas players, and immediately began to study a brand-new competition system and schedule.
The latest novel is first published at 69shuba!
Once the competition system is determined, it will be announced to global players immediately.
Overseas players were then appeased and went back to playing games.
… …
… …
In the last few days, Zhumeng also calmed down.
They completely stopped mentioning any topics about SBI and "Nebula Commando," and even slowed down the advertising for "War of Kings."
The main idea was to not give the other party any attention.
Because the sales of "War of Kings" were too dazzling, the staff of New Force Game Station and SBI were not too sure whether "Nebula Commando" could win, and they were a little afraid to make harsh remarks.
After all, the release was in these two days. If they released harsh remarks and lost in the end, the slap in the face would come too fast and too hard!
Even in China, the group of feminist masters led by Yang Hui restrained themselves a bit.
Unfortunately, the players would not let them go because of this.
Especially Yang Hui.
From the start of the first-day sales of "War of Kings" topping the charts, Yang Hui's Weiguang and Red Book comment areas were filled with players who were unhappy with the feminist masters.
While reporting the sales of "War of Kings" in real-time, they were whipping the corpses of some of her past remarks.
Although Yang Hui wasn't so confident anymore, she was still very stubborn!
She didn't hesitate to argue with players in the comment area.
However, in the end, the argument still had to fall on the sales battle between the two games.
Her only hope now is that "Nebula Commando" lives up to the development cost of 300 million knives, lives up to the development scale of nearly a thousand people inside and out, and lives up to the name of the first-party masterpiece of New Force Game Station…
It must win over Zhumeng!
In her anxious waiting, and in the eager anticipation of global players, the last few days passed in a flash.
November 8th arrived.
"Nebula Commando" was finally released.
New Force Game Station and Vapour Game Platform were launched simultaneously.
At the same time, the Infinite Firepower mode of "Frost Snow Project" was unlocked.
Xu Meng looked at the backstage and was satisfied to see a large number of players pouring into this limited-time mode.
With the help of the live broadcast activities arranged by Song Zhicheng in advance, the major live broadcast platforms were also quickly occupied by the Infinite Firepower mode.
Only a few streamers took a different approach and were downloading "Nebula Commando."
Among them, the one with the largest number of fans and the highest attention was an up master who often made videos of experiencing bad games—[Shark Dawei].
This guy even has a rather heaven-defying nickname, called [Cyber Goujian].
The title of his current live broadcast room is:
[Swimming in the cesspool: Appreciating the epoch-making masterpiece of New Force Game Station]
Requesting monthly tickets, they will expire if you don't vote.
