Chapter 409: Your Father Is Being Threatened!

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Hong Dali’s various programs started to dominate the charts once again.

Li Nianwei’s concert, “Unexpectedly”, “I Am a Singer”, “iPartment” online broadcast, and “Where Are We Going, Dad” online broadcast had completely occupied all of the So Cool video-sharing website charts, and there wasn’t space for any others.

On Weibo, discussion topics about Dream Dota League started to appear all over, and the topics were almost all about the battle in the holographic projection this time.

At night, analysis by professional game players started to appear on the internet. The final result was that there were hundreds of various battle tactics, methods, skills, equipment combinations, and there was an overwhelming number of introductions regarding the balance between the heroes.

These introductions multiplied rapidly by leaps and bounds. Countless people looked at them various times yet still couldn’t get enough of it. After all, it wasn’t easy for them to be able to see such an excessively grand game video.

The next morning at 8:00 AM, the number one clan in online games, [Grand League], announced that it would enter “Dream Dota League.” The clan’s scale increased rapidly, and within an afternoon, its members had madly risen from 4,000 to more than 10,000—and it was still continuously increasing.

In the afternoon on the next day, the keyword Dream Dota League instantly rose to the top three on the ranking chart of Sangle Search Engine. All young people who liked to play games knew about this game.

At night on the next day, the entire Heavenly State’s gaming industry broke out in chaos. It wasn’t an overstatement to say that you could not play this game, but you couldn’t not know that there was such a game, or else people would view you as an “outdated” person.

In the early afternoon on the third day, the ten servers were full, and the number of people in the queue was 1,200. Liu Mingxin, who had just finished filming the latest episode of “iPartment,” couldn’t rest and directly added six servers at the last minute, finally subsiding the immense pressure.

And at the same time, the number of people online at the same time in Spiritual Sword decreased by a large amount, dropping from 1.8 million to 1.6 million. The other online gaming companies in Heavenly State were also gloomy and miserable; the number of people online for all their games had decreased by 70%. Moans of misery sounded all over the industry.

…

At Mingxin Network building.

“Young master, the situation has been assessed.” Liu Mingxin’s assistant stood behind Liu Mingxin and beamed with delight as he reported, “Currently, the number of people online at the same time has already exceeded 300,000, the 16 servers are almost all full, and at the moment, more and more people are calling for opening up more servers. If we don’t open the servers, I’m afraid the players will become violent…”

“It has already exceeded 300,000?!” Even Liu Mingxin, who was usually calm, was at a loss for words. “So fast? Young Master Dali played the game only once at the West Fourth Loop Stadium. This… this is totally…”

Liu Mingxin didn’t have the words to describe Hong Dali’s golden ideas.

Alas, upon thinking about Hong Dali’s “awesome” idea, he could only conclude with one word—Demon!

Only a demon could be used to describe this prodigal…

But regardless of how he should describe Hong Dali, what Liu Mingxin knew was that now, he definitely had to strike while the iron was still hot. He had to do sufficient promotion for the earlier stage. “Go and get people to open ten more servers right away! At the same time, advertise that we will still have more heroes coming in the future. Quickly go!”

“Understood, young master!” The assistant instantly prepared to leave, but Liu Mingxin hurriedly stopped him again. “Oh right, go and make a call to Sangle and Jianbao Plaza’s side right away and get them to help with the advertisement and sponsor funds. We’ll make this cake bigger. Alright. Go!”

“Understood!”

…

August 2.

Turkey Software, Sangle Search Engine and Jianbao Plaza. These three online large companies started to do an overwhelming amount of advertisements for Dream Dota League at the same time. The scale of the advertisements this time could be said to be the first in history, and it wasn’t an overstatement to say that as long as there was a place with internet, one would be able to see Dream Dota League’s advertisements!

And just then, Mingxin Network released another piece of news.

Dream Dota League would be holding group competitions at various school campuses. This time, upon learning from their previous lesson, there would not be an overall champion setup, but it was instead changed to differentiating the awards in terms of levels in various regions of the school campuses. The first, second and third level award would be worth 50,000, 30,000 and 10,000 respectively. Though the award for the region champion had decreased by a large amount, it was spread across a larger area. This gave many people hope of getting an award.

Within a short span of time, news regarding Dream Dota League’s competition had swept all the schools in Heavenly State like a typhoon.

Countless students expressed keen interest and all made preparations in anticipation to respond to the challenge.

In the afternoon on the fifth day, Dream Dota League opened ten more servers once again. Now, the number of people online at the same time was going to exceed 500,000!

What Liu Mingxin said was right. The alliance of the three families could make this cake bigger.

Now, as long as there were good things, the three families would work together and split up the profits equally. They’d done so previously for the smartphone reading app. Under the allied attack by the three families, within a short few days’ time, the number of installations had already exceeded 50 million, and the yearly profit was at 2.5 billion and above.

And this time, it was the same for Dream Dota League. The three families worked together to advertise it, causing almost everyone who surfed the internet to know about it. Those who were slightly more interested would consider watching the promotional video. And when they saw the virtual reality battlefield that was displayed through holographic projection, they would be completely conquered and would find it difficult not to give it a try.

While the other network companies were in a state of chaos, Hong Dali’s slyness could be seen as well. This fellow had completely blocked all possibilities of adaptations from such genres. After all, there were Dream Dota League, Dream Three Kingdoms and League of Legends in his previous life. Now that he’d combined them all, there wouldn’t be a chance for imitations to make other genres…

…

On Play Together official forum. Today: 2,147,854. Yesterday: 657,415. Number of posts: 44,312,547. Number of members: 532,533,244.

In the Spiritual Sword special zone, the number of posts for the day decreased to 175,274 posts. And Dream Dota League’s had already risen up to 94,215 posts!

Of course, currently, the number of people online at the same time for Spiritual Sword was still more than 1.5 million, and Dream Dota League’s was only a little more than 500,000.

It was very obvious that Dream Dota League was still not qualified enough to eliminate Spiritual Sword and become the dominant game in Heavenly State’s online gaming industry.

…

It had to be said that Shiroishi Kazuma was someone who definitely would not sit still and do nothing. He’d definitely not just look as Dream Dota League grew bigger and bigger, and definitely would not only keep quiet and wait for Hong Dali to strike. Yet, he didn’t have any counter move. Thus, this time, he chose another method.

Shanghai Tianhai City, Door to Heaven, 92nd floor.

Sun Yuanzhou sat at the center position, looking at Hong Weiguo, Liu Yihui, and Mu Tie in front of him.

“You have to cross the boundary this time?” Sun Yuanzhou insipidly said. Even a fool would be able to sense the dissatisfaction in his tone.

“CEO Sun, our Mingxin has been dealing with online games since previously. This is not considered crossing the boundary, right?” Liu Yihui’s oldest son Liu Mingxin had previously already been in the online gaming business, and the previously the most popular online game in Heavenly State, Draconic Continent, had been under Liu Mingxin. Thus, this was really not considered crossing the boundary.

Looking at Liu Yihui, Sun Yuanzhou took in a deep breath and slightly squinted his eyes. “That’s just for your family. Very obviously, your three families are joining forces and planning to split up the internet market. Your hands are indeed stretching very far.”

“That depends on the aspect.” Now that Sun Yuanzhou had evidently completely gone over to Toyoda Conglomerate’s side, he could be said to be openly going against them. If previously they’d still give in to him, now, there was already completely no need to. Hong Weiguo smiled and said, “The online gaming aspect could previously be said to be the territory of the Liu Family. The Flying Dragon Network appeared out of nowhere, but Old Liu hasn’t even said anything about it yet. CEO Sun, aren’t you reacting too strongly over this?”

“Too strongly? Hehe.” Sun Yuanzhou disdainfully smiled. With a cold gaze, he looked at Hong Weiguo and insipidly said, “You all should know my temper and my ability.” Sun Yuanzhou coldly said, “I’m only giving you one day to consider.”

Mu Tie fiercely slammed the arm of his chair as he raged, “Sun Yuanzhou, don’t go overboard. It’s true that you’re the magnate in the Resource Chamber of Commerce, but we might not necessarily be afraid of you!”

“Mu Tie, listen carefully.” Sun Yuanzhou looked at Mu Tie as he smiled and said, “One days’ time, if you all promise to stop supporting Hong Dali and that so-called Dream Dota League, you’ll have an easy time during the Resource Chamber of Commerce meeting. Or else, with the alliance of the five big magnates, we’ll have the right to corner and attack any member of the inner circle. By then, haha…”

“You!” Liu Yihui was shocked and angrily said, “You actually dare to activate the alliance right of the five magnates!”

“Haha, so what?” Sun Yuanzhou had a superior gaze as he condescendingly looked at Liu Yihui. “Your furious expression, heh heh. It’s really amusing. Turkey Software, right? I remember your software, but quite a lot of things come from a ‘reference’ type of creativity. Don’t force me to use firm and tough methods. I dislike doing this the most.”

Clap! Clap! Suddenly, there was clapping.

Everyone turned their heads to look. It was actually Hong Weiguo who was clapping.

“Why, do you have any objections?” Sun Yuanzhou asked.

“No, I only feel that your power is very great.” Hong Weiguo smiled. “But it seems like we aren’t such pushovers. CEO Sun, I know that there’s someone above you, we know it in our hearts. Our Hong Family is indeed declining these few years, but it seems that we have someone above us as well. I only feel that CEO Sun, it’s not really worth it for you to work so hard for your master.”

“Why, you want to go against the five magnates?” Sun Yuanzhou suddenly roared with laughter. “With just the three of you?”

“No no no, why would we three dare to go against the five magnates.” Hong Weiguo smiled as he shook his head. After Sun Yuanzhou’s laughter had ceased, Hong Weiguo said, “The person who dares to go against the five magnates is not me, but my Dali.”

“Dali? Hong Dali?!” Sun Yuanzhou’s gaze was terrifying. “A little brat going against we five magnates?!”

Hong Weiguo took out his smartphone, totally lacking the aura of a father, and called Hong Dali. After the call had been picked up, Hong Weiguo shouted loudly, “Rascal, your father is being threatened. It’s up to you to settle it!”
