Let's give space a touch of Chinese horror!

Chapter 85 "Reunion" Speedrun Competition

Xu Zhang was completely bewildered at this moment.

He only stayed in the game a little longer... but game time is different from real time. He didn't stay in the game for more than a day, but this real-world plot... why can't he understand it all now?

He gestured with his chin toward the administrative staff, indicating that they should begin to speak.

In short, the matter can be summarized in a very simple sentence—

Not long after Xu Zhang and his group entered the game, "New World" suddenly announced that they would be holding a speedrun timer for the game "Reunion".

Of course, they came up with the name. Because "New World" was very casual in announcing the competition. Not only did they not give any advance notice, but they didn't even come up with a name for the competition. From beginning to end, they only announced the competition rules and the competition time.

The rules of the game are very simple: as long as players can complete the game within the time limit set by the "New World", their completion time will be automatically uploaded to the leaderboard.

On the last day of the competition, "New World" will award first, second and third prizes to a number of players based on the rankings on the leaderboard, and give these players different amounts of prize money.

It sounds... similar to their platform's "Holographic Horror Game Competition," but the problem lies in the timing of this competition—

"New World" set the deadline for their competition to be the same day that the results of their "Holographic Horror Game Competition" were announced...

Clearly, the "New World" was intentional.

And they were openly telling them, "Playworld," that's right, we're here for you.

Xu Zhang even suspected that the people in red might know something, but that shouldn't be the case...

He frowned: Although their purpose in entering the game... was indeed ulterior motives, didn't they fail? The decorative mini-programs they brought in didn't even run, yet this still alarmed the red-clothed side?

Xu Zhang couldn't understand it at all: he hadn't even caused any trouble for Hongyi yet, so why was Hongyi causing trouble for them first?

The administrative staff also showed Xu Zhang the phenomenal success online:

For example, in game live streaming rooms, if you open any one of them now, nine times out of ten it will be about "reunion".

Furthermore, due to the mysterious "urban legend" surrounding the game featuring the red-clad character, recorded gameplay videos are practically nonexistent; viewers who want to watch streamers play games can only watch live streams.

This has led to a surge in popularity for any live stream featuring the game "Reunion" during this period. Even if the game streamers aren't particularly interested in the competition itself or winning prize money, they'll still start live streaming "Reunion" for the sake of popularity, traffic, and gaining followers.

In the past, this was the time when many streamers would broadcast the games they were competing in on their platforms, but now the traffic has been completely stolen by "New World" and "Reunion".

Their matches... are really going to lose all their appeal.

"so……"

The administrative staff pointed towards the main conference room: "They're having a meeting right now to discuss this..." The company is trying to figure out how to deal with it.

Looking at it this way, the situation is indeed quite tricky.

But... Xu Zhang seemed to have thought of something and suddenly stood up.

"Notify the main conference room."

Xu Zhang confidently raised his head: "I have a starting point."

We can first cause some trouble for the people in red.
