Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

Meanwhile, the article about Mercuryworld launching its global ranking campaign arrived.

Just after releasing Mercuryworld, Sony and Spark have launched a collaboration, releasing a Spark co-branded PS4, which is another story to tell.

The previous post had just been published when the article about the "Honkai Impact 3rd" Lunar New Year special gacha pool with a guaranteed pity system after 60 pulls was submitted for review.

There are also *Battlefront Girls*, *Fate/Grand Order*, *Azur Lane*...

All I can say is that a news item is released approximately every four to five minutes.

Many users of the gamer forum expressed their feelings.

"This isn't even a diarrhea-style update, this is a waterfall-style update!"

Of course, they are experiencing both pain and pleasure right now.

The pain is that editors can't go anywhere on the first day of the Lunar New Year and have to work overtime to publish articles.

Happiness is money for all the manufacturers; it flows like water to all the media.

Besides gaming media.

Those strategy guide teams that create guides on various video websites have been extremely busy these past few days.

With a large influx of players.

The number of searches for strategy guides by players worldwide has also increased significantly, and many strategy guide groups need to rush to produce subtitles for multiple countries, which simply doesn't have enough time.

I simply used the Spark platform or other video websites' built-in translation functions for everything except Chinese.

Let's not worry about that for now.

Post it quickly to grab some traffic!!

The entire gaming industry was drawn into Spark's frenzy, and it wasn't just in China; a large number of media outlets overseas were also working overtime.

This year's Spark New Year Carnival is not just for the gaming industry.

The Asahi Shimbun and Tokyo Shimbun of Japan.

CBS and ABC in the United States.

The BBC in the UK.

They all reported on Spark's event, but of course, they focused their coverage on the activities of [Spark Earth].

Overall, these reports, apart from those from Japanese media, are from various sources.

Western media tend to be overly critical.

Some media outlets have also mentioned that this could be an entertainment invasion by the University of Tokyo.

of course.

This kind of sour and sarcastic activity is mainly reported in mainstream media in Europe and America.

In popular entertainment apps like Twitter, YouTube, and TikTok.

Overall, the feedback from European and American players and the general public regarding Spark's event has been quite positive.

Especially news media affiliated with Google.

Because of the increasing cooperation between Google and Spark over the years, and Spark's growing investment in promotion and marketing, Google also played a role in promoting this event.

It even blocked a lot of hate speech.

all in all.

On the second day of the event, the word "Spark" reached even more people around the world.

Meanwhile, The Wandering Earth has officially begun its global release.

Chapter 194 Spread

The second day of the new year.

early morning.

A villa somewhere.

"As the New Year's bells rang, game enthusiasts around the world celebrated a grand event."

"The Spark New Year Game Carnival, an event hosted by my country's Spark Technology Co., Ltd. and participated in by more than 100 top game companies worldwide, attracted tens of millions of players and became a grand event in the global game industry."

"At the same time, the New Year's greeting cards also carry..."

The living room of the villa.

A huge television and home theater-grade sound system.

The sound of CCTV's morning news came through.

Ma Xiao, who was putting on a suit, frowned, walked out of the bedroom, took a few steps into the living room, and picked up the remote control from the coffee table.

I turned off the TV.

This action displeased Ma Xiao's father.

"What are you doing? Why turn it off?"

"Dad, stop looking at all this nonsense. Aren't we going to visit relatives today? Aren't you going to get some preparations?"

Ma Xiao's father had no idea what kind of toxic substance his son had ingested.

I wanted to say a few more words, but then I thought better of it, it's the Lunar New Year.

Arguing brings bad luck.

Moreover, he and Ma Xiao only saw each other a few times a year. He opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say anything and went back to his room.

Ma Xiao's father left, but his wife was still in the bedroom.

So, Ma Xiao was left alone in the spacious living room.

Ma Xiaoping calmed himself down, glanced at the TV, and after about a minute, turned it back on.

The news is already reporting on other things.

Ma Xiao then inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he felt somewhat bewildered by his own self-deceiving behavior.

And then.

He then recalled the notification that HR had just sent in the group chat, which indicated that they were already arranging a senior management meeting after the Spring Festival holiday.

Sighed again.

Normally.

Executives of Ma Xiao's caliber can still enjoy a period of vacation after the Spring Festival.

This is to make it easier for them to travel abroad.

But this year.

HR issued the announcement at this time...

"That Lin Li, he can't even let anyone have a comfortable New Year..."

Although I sighed.

But Ma Xiao understood why the company made this decision.

The global marketing capabilities that Spark demonstrated yesterday are secondary; more importantly, Douyin experienced explosive growth during this Spring Festival.

Douyin was originally the exclusive broadcasting channel for this year's Spring Festival Gala.

It has already consumed a lot of data.

In addition, Spark created something called Spark Earth.

Suddenly, it has consumed the traffic of middle-aged and elderly people, and also the traffic of young people.

Douyin also launched a special event page for the "Spark Spring Festival Carnival".

It can not only simulate the effect of your own photos being projected in space.

You can also assemble your own [Oath Ring] in advance.

There are also a whole bunch of events and transformations related to the Spark game.

For example, taking a photo to transform into a "heroic spirit".

For example, you can search for what kind of person you would become in The Wandering Earth.

These are actually very routine activities.

Despite the hype surrounding the "Spark Earth" event, it generated unparalleled buzz.

The most popular thing on TikTok these past two days has been foreigners' reactions to greeting cards.

Even Ma Xiao learned from this that the greeting cards Spark sent to players worldwide all had large gold-stamped Chinese characters on the cover.

You wouldn't call this cultural export?

I watched as those foreigners were amazed at how beautiful the word was, how beautiful the rocket was, and how they were surprised that they actually had a photo with Earth.

Even though Ma Xiao once suspected that these people might be hired by Xinghuo.

But he could still concentrate on it.

If he's like this, then we can only imagine what others are like.

It is precisely for this reason that the senior executives of Tencent did not have a good Spring Festival this year. Douyin + Xinghuo, this inexplicable combination actually became popular.

And that only made matters worse.

Yesterday, after a day of build-up, The Wandering Earth... became a hit.

~~~

It's now the third day of the Lunar New Year.

The global gaming industry is in complete chaos because of this Spark Carnival.

However, the butterfly that triggered this storm remained remarkably idle.

After finishing a bunch of chores before the New Year, I met both sets of parents and spent a day at each of their homes.

Lin Li and Su Shanshan then fled to Qiongzhou.

You have to hide.

As long as Lin Li dares to sit at home, whether it's Su Shanshan's home or his own home.

The number of visitors never stopped.

With more guests, it's inevitable that there will be times when we fall short in our hospitality, and often good things can turn into bad things.

So, Lin Li discussed it with his parents.

I decided to slip away as soon as possible.

I mainly stay at home, which only causes trouble for my parents.

Strangely enough, even when they hid in Qiongzhou and lay on a private beach, they were still able to stay there.

Surprisingly, people still manage to find him every day.

As soon as I got off the plane, local leaders from Qiongzhou came to my door and we bumped into each other.

That's fine, since we've dealt with each other before, it's normal to exchange ideas.

In the afternoon, people from the local tourism bureau also arrived.

Fortunately, they were also celebrating the holiday, so it didn't take up too much time. They just exchanged greetings and pleasantries, and Lin Li repeatedly promised to visit their department after the holiday.

That's it.

If it weren't for the Spring Festival holiday, Lin Li probably wouldn't be able to take a holiday either.

"What's going on this year? The Buddha came to me on his own, before I even had a chance to go and pray..."

Su Shanshan also joked with a smile.

"It seems that President Lin is now a high-ranking leader. When you're on the ground, it's always others who run into you."
