Chapter 295: #295 - The popularity is skyrocketing, and players are given New Year’s money!

The map for the "Colorful Paper Battle" is quite small.

Qihua Hua could hear her teammates' screams from the respawn point.

"How pitiful," Qihua Hua commented.

But when she revived and ran to support her teammate, she found that he was still alive.

Not only was he alive, but he had also entered a berserk state—

"Stop! Stop shooting!"

"Stop! Stop!"

"If you don't stop, you'll all die!"

"Die, die, die!!"

Qihua Hua watched her teammate, now a berserker, charging at three opponents alone, and subconsciously slowed her pace.

—It's only natural to want to stay away from someone who's gone mad.

Bright and clean.

She didn't find it uncomfortable at all; on the contrary, she found it lively and festive. Whether looking at it or stepping on it, it made her feel great.

But this teammate, whose ID was [Juicy Juice], seemed to be going crazy…

He charged recklessly, successfully taking down one opponent.

Almost simultaneously, they turned into a burst of red and golden colorful paper, leaving behind two freshly made piles of paper.

Qihua Hua was a little worried about her teammate's mental state, so she asked in the voice channel:

"Juice, are you okay?"

She didn't get a reply from her teammate; instead, she received a system notification:

[Player [Juicy Juice] has left the Colorful Paper Battle]

"???"

"You… this… I…" Qihua Hua's tongue twisted several times in her mouth, but she couldn't find the right words to express her current mood.

In the end, she could only say, "Never mind."

"3 vs. 4 it is!"

Qihua Hua was now very confident because she was also a sharpshooter with perfect accuracy!

However, the next second after she made her decision, another system notification popped up:

[The team's lineup is incomplete and is being balanced]

[【Vivian】has joined the Colorful Paper Battle]

The next second, cheers came from the team channel: "Great! Vivian has joined us!"

"Zhumeng is awesome!"

"Juicy Juice, you left at the right time!"

—Xu Meng considered the situation during the New Year, where players might be suddenly called away by parents, partners, or children while playing the game, so he had the development team prepare countermeasures early on.

Whenever a player leaves, a character from "Project Frost Snow" will randomly appear to join the shorthanded team and fight alongside them.

Of course, saying "fight" is more like "playing."

The characters don't actively attack opponents; they only launch colorful paper, allowing their team's color to cover a larger area.

Qihua Hua quickly saw two teammates surrounding Vivian, who appeared before her.

Vivian had also changed into a brand-new New Year's outfit, holding the same firework gun as them, launching colorful paper all around with a 'poof, poof, poof.'

Laughing as she shot, she was extremely happy.

The competition, which already lacked intensity, immediately became more harmonious.

Even the opponents were reluctant to attack Vivian, carefully watching her health when shooting at her.

They would only shoot once in a while.

The purpose wasn't to "attack" but to tease Vivian.

Vivian wasn't angry at all, brushing aside the colorful paper and laughing as she countered with a shot.

It was practically flirting.

Qihua Hua and her teammates were very angry!

"She's our teammate!!"

So, they angrily shot at the opponents, pouring out colorful paper.

Qihua Hua's first "Colorful Paper Battle" ended so easily and happily—even with Vivian's strong "restraint," they still won this match.

This made Qihua Hua feel like she had won unfairly.

Plus, the colorful paper gun was so much fun to play with, shooting out a large area with each shot, feeling especially stress-relieving, and she was really not satisfied.

So, she continued to match, then played the second game, the third game…

She got more and more into it.

The "Colorful Paper Battle" was a brand-new event unlocked at 10 o'clock this day.

Less than half an hour after the task line was unlocked, millions of players had tried this new gameplay.

The newest novels are first published on !

Only a very small number of obsessive-compulsive patients, like [Juicy Juice], were tormented by this gameplay.

—In fact, obsessive-compulsive patients in the "Colorful Paper Battle" also have two different manifestations.

One is constant screaming, almost losing combat effectiveness, and even quitting on the spot.

The other is being unable to tolerate the chaos, so they frantically want to eliminate opponents and turn the entire field into one color!

The latter type of player has a combat desire far exceeding ordinary players!

Except for these people, the vast majority of the remaining players were very excited after experiencing the "Colorful Paper Battle"!

They even felt a similar surprise from this gameplay as when "Dragon Palace Treasure Hunt" was first launched!

[Zhumeng is really invincible! They can always give people surprises!]

[It's just a New Year event, but they directly created a new gameplay; this is too awesome!]

[I knew it! You can always trust Zhumeng!]

[Great! Handicapped players can finally play shooting games too! I'm crying!]

Large numbers of posts praising the "Colorful Paper Battle" quickly appeared on Mengjinli.

On social networks, the keyword "Colorful Paper Battle" also soared in popularity, quickly rising to the top of the trending topics list!

The online rate of "Project Frost Snow" also broke records.

Colleagues watched a large number of new players "suddenly" joining "Project Frost Snow," and they were amazed for a while.

They all said that Zhumeng was really too strong. With the release of a new gameplay, without spending much money on marketing, they easily gained huge traffic!

But they only guessed half right.

Gameplay is indeed important, but to say that Zhumeng didn't spend money on marketing would be a big mistake.

Zhumeng also spent a lot of money on marketing.

It's just that the marketing method adopted by Xu Meng was relatively special. He didn't use the money to invest in advertising or buy traffic, but chose to—

Give it directly to the players!

Qihua Hua played eight consecutive "Colorful Paper Battles," enjoying herself to the fullest.

It wasn't until her stamina was almost exhausted, and she started panting heavily, that she reluctantly stopped to rest.

During the break, she didn't log off.

Instead, she habitually found the shop owner, wanting to see the event rewards.

It was still a common event mechanism in gacha games—

Playing the "Colorful Paper Battle" can earn event tokens. Winning a game earns 800 colorful paper, and losing a game earns 300 colorful paper.

These colorful paper can be exchanged for event rewards at the shop owner's place.

Generally speaking, the event rewards are character development materials in the game, plus some raw ore for purchasing gacha tokens [Liquid Gold].

Purchasing these things doesn't require consuming too much colorful paper, and it's easy to obtain.

Even if you lose every game, you can easily clear the event shop in the end.

These are all common operations for gacha game players.

But Zhumeng's events are just different from its peers!

When Qihua Hua first opened the shop and saw those familiar character development materials, her expression was still calm.

But when she dragged to the end and saw the two items at the bottom, she was immediately surprised and widened her eyes—

They were actually two [Red Envelopes]!

[Red Envelope]: Randomly opens 1 to 100,000 credit points (credit points can be used for consumption in Mansheng City and Silver City)

[Red Envelope]: Randomly opens 1 to 100,000 Xia Country cash (please fill in personal account information through the event page and wait for payment)

Qihua Hua looked at these two red envelopes, almost unable to believe her eyes:

"Directly giving money??"

"Is this… to give players New Year's money?"
