Lunar New Year this year was on the sixteenth of February, and it was already February. Most office workers were looking forward to the Lunar New Year holiday, the company's annual conference, and the end of the year bonus. As for work … What was that? Could it be eaten?
There were only two weeks left until the Lunar New Year holiday, and most people weren't in the mood to work.
There weren't many good games released during this time, so the players were in a relatively quiet state.
After all, the video game companies were busy with their annual conferences and year-end summaries. Who would release a new game during the Lunar New Year?
Games like COG wouldn't be officially released until next year. Other games like Project: S and Three Worlds took even longer to develop, and might not even be released in April or May of next year.
- Inside the experience store-
It was a Saturday, but there weren't many people in the experience store.
The craze for Minecraft had settled down a bit. Although the diehard fans could play Minecraft for the rest of their lives, most players would lose their passion after playing for a long time, and it was impossible for them to play the game as often as they ate their meals.
There were all sorts of games in the experience store. There were still people playing Warcraft, Diablo, and Minecraft, but they weren't as popular as they were when they first came out.
Some players didn't find it fun, and sat in the lobby, ordering a hot drink and reading.
Jia Peng and Chang Xiuya were also chatting.
"Huh, why isn't Wen Jie here yet? Didn't we say 2pm? "asked Chang Xiuya as she looked at her watch.
Jia Peng was confused as well, "Yeah, Wen Jie is supposed to be very punctual, but she's three minutes late today. That doesn't make sense."
Jia Peng and Chang Xiuya graduated a year after Wen Lingwei, and had been out of school for over a year now.
Jia Peng and Chang Xiuya weren't as carefree as Wen Lingwei. They both found proper jobs, one in an advertising company, and the other in a technology company. They had been working there for over a year now, and had picked up on all sorts of jobs pretty quickly. They were now considered proper office workers.
However, they couldn't go to the experience store every day like they did in university, and they often had things to do on the weekends, so they only got together once every once in a while.
Although Wen Lingwei had been working as a freelance artist, she obviously had her own things to do, and the frequency of her coming to the experience store decreased.
As the two were talking, Wen Lingwei pushed open the door of the experience store.
"Sigh, traffic jam." Wen Lingwei sat on the sofa and said helplessly.
Jia Peng asked, "What would you like to drink?"
Wen Lingwei thought for a moment and said, "Hot milk tea then."
Jia Peng stood up and went to the front desk to get some hot milk tea for Wen Lingwei.
Chang Xiuya chatted with Wen Lingwei for a while and talked about her recent work status.
Wen Lingwei looked around the hall. "Where's the manager?"
Chang Xiuya said, "I don't know, maybe he's upstairs. After all, he's pretty busy right now, playing one game after another. Why don't I go ask? "
Wen Lingwei shook her head. "Forget it. We're just here to sit. Let's not disturb him."
Chang Xiuya smiled. "Senior Sister, I feel like you've changed a lot after graduation. You're exuding a motherly aura."
Wen Lingwei rolled her eyes. "Motherly? Forget about it. Maybe it's because I've met too many idiots at work, so I miss the days when I was in university. "
She leaned back on the sofa and lamented, "Actually, I quite miss that small experience store from before, and the manager. When we weren't that famous, everyone would joke around and play games together. But now, everyone's busy."
Chang Xiuya also smiled. "Yeah, I still remember when I Am MT was made. We'd watch cartoons together in the store. One episode a week, it was really fun."
Jia Peng returned and handed a cup of hot milk tea to Wen Lingwei.
Wen Lingwei took it from him. "Thanks."
As they were chatting, Qian Kun came in.
"Huh, Jia Peng? Why are you guys here? "Qian Kun was surprised.
Jia Peng said half-jokingly, "Why? Can't we come?"
"Of course we can. You're welcome." Qian Kun walked over and gave Jia Peng a punch.
Jia Peng asked, "Why did you come in from outside?"
Qian Kun said, "Didn't I go out for lunch? Wait here, I'll go get the manager."
Jia Peng quickly stopped him, "It's fine, don't bother the manager. We're just here for a bit."
Qian Kun shook his head, "It's fine, it's fine. The manager isn't working today anyway. Oh yeah, you guys came at the right time. There's a new game for you guys to play today."
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard there was a new game.
"Really? A new game? What type? "Wen Lingwei asked.
Qian Kun laughed, "You'll find out soon enough. Give me a second, I'll head up."
Chen Mo came back not long after Qian Kun went upstairs.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, everyone was urging Chen Mo to bring out the new game.
"Geez, you guys only care about new games. You don't care about me at all," Chen Mo said helplessly.
Chen Mo said a few words to the girl at the front desk.
The girl at the front desk nodded. Soon, her voice was broadcasted throughout the experience store.
"Dear players, Thunderbolt Entertainment's new PC game, League of Legends, is now available to try out. You can play in the PC experience area on the first floor. The game will be updated automatically after you restart your computer. "
This message was broadcasted three times. The players in the experience store could hear it loud and clear. The players in the PC and mobile experience areas were all discussing it.
"Huh? New game? "
"They're releasing a new game so soon? It hasn't been that long since Eich and The Stanley Parable were released. "
"Yeah, I thought there wouldn't be any new games before the new year."
"Quick, let's see what the new game is!"
Everyone was excited when they heard there was a new game. Those that frequented the experience store were all Chen Mo's hardcore fans. Since there weren't many new games before the new year, they were all very excited to try it out.
The players in the PC experience area all rebooted their computers to update League of Legends. Many players in the lobby, mobile experience area, and VR experience area also came to the PC experience area.
"Let's go check it out."
Jia Peng, Wen Lingwei, and Chang Xiuya also went to the PC experience area.
They found three connected computers in the corner, and the three of them sat down one by one.
Jia Peng couldn't help but exclaim, "The manager's experience store is getting more and more popular. Such a large PC experience area is almost full. The previous experience store only had eighteen computers in total."
Wen Lingwei added, "And there wasn't a single person in the store the first time I was there."
Chen Mo laughed, "You sure remember that."
Wen Lingwei said proudly, "Of course, I'm the first customer of Thunderbolt Gaming Experience Store. Keep it up, manager. When your company becomes a giant in the industry, I'll be able to brag about this for a long time."
Jia Peng looked around, "There aren't any seats left. Where would you like to sit?"
Chen Mo replied, "I'm not playing, you guys go ahead. I'll just take a stroll. "
"Alright then."
