On the December Platform, someone noticed Jiang Rong’s game.
The Slime Elimination icon was simply too prominent among the other games, and people’s eyes were subconsciously drawn to it.
“This game has already entered the top 100, which means it’s not one of those shoddy, garbage games. I’ll check it out to see if it’s fun.”
Liang Man went online and received a message from a friend.
At first, she didn’t take it seriously, until half a day passed and she hadn’t heard back from her friend.
Liang Man contacted her friend, “Hey, how’s that game? Is it worth playing?” (能入吗？- a slang term meaning “is it worth getting into?”)
A few minutes later, her friend replied: “I’m still playing the game right now. This Slime Elimination is especially fun. It’s obviously a very simple gameplay, but it makes people unable to stop.”
If her friend hadn’t interrupted, she would have definitely gone back into the game just now.
Hearing her friend say this, Liang Man became curious and also downloaded Slime Elimination.
After getting in, she finally understood why her friend was addicted. This game was just too fun.
The game levels come one after another. If you win, you want to keep winning. If you lose, you want to restart a game and quickly turn the tables. How could players quit the game like this?
And each game, whether you win or lose, can be completed in a few minutes, which makes players feel like it’s not a big deal.
But if a game takes a few minutes, what about ten games, a hundred games?
Liang Man subconsciously calculated these numbers, but even after calculating them, she didn’t develop any resistance to Slime Elimination.
After all, the game is doing this to retain players like them. As long as it’s not too excessive, there’s no need to be harsh.
Not to mention that Slime Elimination provides a lot of emotional value. Not only are the special effects in the game beautiful, but the decoration of the game interface is not perfunctory either. It’s obvious that they put their heart into it.
As a player, Liang Man’s goodwill towards Slime Elimination greatly increased.
At the same time, there were many people outside who were curious about Jiang Rong’s game. Seeing that the people who entered the game didn’t respond, they couldn’t help but wonder.
“Can this game be played or not? At least give us a reply.”
“But the comments all say that this game is fun,” someone else said.
“Who knows if those comments are real or fake.”
In comparison, they trusted the evaluations of ordinary players more.
“I just came out of the game. Let me talk about my feelings about this game. This game is different from most games on the market. They are not the same type.”
Liang Man ran out of energy and exited the game at just the right moment. After thinking about it, she decided to speak up.
“This Slime Elimination game doesn’t have any exciting or attractive scenes inside. All it has is cuteness, warmth, and healing. Its wins and losses are not as intense as other games. It has less impact on players’ emotional ups and downs.”
“Sounds a bit boring. If that’s the case, why are you still playing?” The casual players frowned.
“First of all, I really like the game’s art style. Secondly, its game rhythm is very special. It clearly marks the goals that players want to achieve there. As long as you see the goal, players will feel the courage to move forward and continue.”
“The most important thing is that this goal is not far away for the players, but within reach. I believe no player would dislike such a victory that is so close at hand.” Liang Man commented on Slime Elimination.
“Sounds pretty good, then we’ll also try it. If it doesn’t meet our expectations, we’ll come back and tell everyone.”
Some casual players were tempted and prepared to go into the game to see if this game was really like what Liang Man said.
There were also players who were tempted but didn’t take action, waiting for their game feedback.
As a result, half a day passed, and no one came back to comment. They were shocked, “Where are the people?!”
“Pfft!” Liang Man couldn’t help but laugh when she saw this scene.
Thinking back, she was also waiting for her friend like this before.
The angry and watching casual players finally waited for a reply, because some players ran out of game energy and had to quit the game.
Seeing the angry messages from the casual players, they suddenly remembered what they said before entering the game.
“This game is especially fun. If I didn’t run out of energy, I could keep playing forever.”
“Me too. Also as a player, I envy those game bosses who can pass the levels smoothly, don’t consume much energy, and can keep playing.”
Although their replies were getting more and more off topic, they still convinced many watching casual players to download the game in the end.
“Host, our game downloads have exceeded 100,000.” Jiang Yu happily reported to Jiang Rong.
At this time, it had been three days since Jiang Rong’s game was launched.
“And the game ranking has also gone from the top 100 to the top 20.” Jiang Yu opened the ranking for Jiang Rong to see.
A ranking in the top 20 was enough for Jiang Rong’s game to be in a prominent game recommendation spot.
At the same time, as the number of players increased, there were also more things for Jiang Rong to do.
For example, some players were particularly hardcore and had already reached the last level, which required Jiang Rong to update new levels to keep the players entertained.
Although this increased Jiang Rong’s workload, Jiang Rong was not unhappy at all. After all, this also showed the players’ love for her game.
Of course, there were also problems that Jiang Rong ignored, such as the problem of not enough game energy.
Regarding this point, even though the players wailed a lot, Jiang Rong, after thinking about it, still did not open up a game energy purchase channel. At most, she would give them some free game energy when the players passed the levels smoothly.
Jiang Rong was working when a pop-up window suddenly popped up on the optical brain, interrupting Jiang Rong’s work progress.
“This is… the game major classmates group.” Jiang Rong’s eyes narrowed when she saw the group name.
Jiang Rong is a graduate of the Interstellar Game major, which means that this group is full of Jiang Rong’s classmates.
Previously, Jiang Rong had shielded the group and generally wouldn’t open it or be disturbed.
The reason why the group was showing its presence this time was because the group owner @ed everyone.
Group Owner: [Congratulations to our outstanding graduate of this year’s game major, Li Zhidong, for achieving excellent results in the December Platform monthly competition! Let us applaud classmate Li Zhidong!!!]
Below was a sharing link to the December Platform game.
Seeing the group owner’s words clearly, the atmosphere in the group became lively.
“I didn’t expect classmate Li Zhidong to participate in the December Platform monthly competition, and the results are so good. I’m afraid the December monthly competition champion will be none other than classmate Li Zhidong.” Someone in the group quickly praised Li Zhidong.
“That’s right, a mere champion, our classmate Li Zhidong can get it with ease.”
On the other side of the screen, Li Zhidong couldn’t help but raise the corners of his lips high when he saw the group message, but turning to the group, his words were not as arrogant as his face.
“Thank you for your love, there is still some time before the end of the December competition, the results are undecided, I can’t bear everyone’s praise.” Li Zhidong said modestly in the group.
Seeing Li Zhidong come forward, the group became even more lively, and many people who usually lurked also came out to congratulate and bless Li Zhidong.
Just then, someone suddenly spoke, “As classmates, we should support Li Zhidong with practical actions.”
As soon as these words came out, the lively atmosphere in the group was silent for a moment.
“That’s for sure, we’re all classmates, who else would we support if we didn’t support Li Zhidong.”
“Everyone, is that right?” Someone wanted to get others to express their position.
“As classmates, we definitely support Li Zhidong, but unfortunately, there are not many of us classmates, I’m afraid it won’t have much effect.”
“Also, in this December monthly competition, a dark horse game has appeared, I don’t know if you have heard of it.”
“What dark horse game? Which one?” A curious classmate who didn’t know asked.
“That game is called Slime Elimination. It was just released three days ago, and it has already exceeded 100,000 downloads and rushed to the top 20.”
“The momentum is so strong? At this rate, the ranking will definitely continue to improve later.”
Li Zhidong saw the topic in the group getting more and more off topic, and the corners of his lips dropped. He spoke in the group, “I know the game you are talking about.”
“Then Li Zhidong, what do you think of that game?”
Someone asked Li Zhidong, but more people chose to remain silent.
“I think that game’s content is average, and the gameplay is very simple. I’m afraid it was specially developed for children to play. It’s particularly childish. The top 20 is probably that game’s ultimate limit.” Li Zhidong said disdainfully.
“So it’s a game specially for children to play. How young would someone have to be to play that game?”
“That’s right, classmate Li Zhidong’s game results are much better than that game. I believe his vision.”
“Me too. In terms of game quality and content, classmate Li Zhidong’s game is definitely better.”
No matter what their thoughts were, no one in the group publicly embarrassed Li Zhidong. For a time, the group was full of praise for Li Zhidong and his game.
Jiang Rong took these words in, but even though her game was involved, she had no interest in refuting them.
Soon, Jiang Rong found a way to leave the group chat and directly exited this group that she only joined because everyone else was doing it after graduation.
Jiang Rong, who had already left the group, didn’t know that someone suddenly mentioned her in the group after she left.
This person was none other than the previous protagonist, Li Zhidong.
“Where’s Jiang Rong? Why haven’t I seen Jiang Rong speak? You know, Jiang Rong was in the same group as me. Why isn’t she saying a few words at this time?”
Li Zhidong flipped through the messages, confirming that Jiang Rong hadn’t spoken from beginning to end, and couldn’t help but frown.
The group owner looked at the background information about Jiang Rong’s departure from the group just now and felt a little embarrassed.
He could only bite the bullet and reply: “Jiang Rong has already left the group, just now.”
Just as everyone was praising Li Zhidong.
Li Zhidong also thought of this, and his breath stagnated, but he quickly recovered.
“Jiang Rong may have left the group because she was too ashamed. After all, she used to be at the bottom of our group in terms of grades.”
“It’s also my fault, maybe my grades stimulated her.” Li Zhidong seemed humble and guilty, but in reality, he couldn’t hide his pride.
“That’s right, Jiang Rong must be deeply inferior.” Someone continued to echo Li Zhidong.
As a result, they found that not many people were supporting them, they became more and more embarrassed, and gradually fell silent.
Li Zhidong’s original purpose was to have the classmates in the group praise and support him, but it didn’t have much effect.
Contrary to his wishes, his face was extremely gloomy.
“Host, that Li Zhidong’s game has 200,000 downloads and is currently ranked in the top three. Some players in the comments section say that Li Zhidong’s game quality is not good, and the data contains a lot of water.”
Li Zhidong’s disdain for Jiang Rong’s game made Jiang Yu very angry. It went to check Li Zhidong’s game data and then showed it to Jiang Rong.
“Water?” Jiang Rong looked at the comments section of Li Zhidong’s game.
She saw that in the comments section of Li Zhidong’s game, some players said that Li Zhidong’s game was not as fun as advertised, and the data contained too much water and definitely didn’t deserve the current game ranking.
This remark attracted a lot of players to agree, mostly talking about the quality problems of Li Zhidong’s game, feeling that this game was not worthy of its name.
But there were also many game fans who supported Li Zhidong and refuted those people’s words, using their numbers to suppress those unpleasant comments.
After casually looking through it, Jiang Rong put her mind back on her own game.
Jiang Yu asked Jiang Rong, “Aren’t you angry, Host?”
Unlike it, it was already extremely angry.
“It’s fake to say I’m not angry, but game competitions ultimately look at the game ranking, not which side is more reasonable.”
Jiang Rong had already understood this principle.
Even if Jiang Rong was angry, she would put all her energy into the game, rather than fighting a pointless war of words with others outside the game.
As time passed, Jiang Rong’s Slime Elimination data steadily increased.
Liang Man ran out of energy and had to exit the game. Afterwards, she casually glanced at something, and her eyes suddenly widened.
“Slime Elimination downloads have exceeded 150,000, and the game ranking has entered the top ten!”
“How long has it been!”
Also excited were other game players, such as game streamer Bai Yang.
“I still remember when I first started playing Slime Elimination, it hadn’t even entered the top 100. Now it’s really too promising!”
As Bai Yang spoke, her eyes were slightly red, and her heart was swollen and sour. She had a kind of joy that the treasure she had accidentally discovered was finally shining brightly.
[The streamer has a good eye for talent, and so do we!]
The audience in Bai Yang’s livestream were proud and proud.
