Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 603: Chapter 601 What Else to Notify? Get Ready to Kneel Before the Keyboard [Third Update]

As soon as the news hit the internet, the one under the most pressure had to be Director Nie!

He was anxious as an ant on a hot pan, wanting to call Lu Xiaobu but also not daring to.

All he could do was pace back and forth in his office, non-stop!

”This Lu Xiaobu, you ask for my help, but now that things are like this, you don’t even say a word! You’re just letting me take on your losses!”

He couldn’t stop complaining about Lu Xiaobu in his mind!

Seriously, if it weren’t for the fact that he couldn’t afford to offend Lu Xiaobu, he would have quit long ago!

And just then.

The phone rang.

”Who is it?!”

Director Nie didn’t even look at the number before he answered the phone with a shout.

”What are you yelling for?!”

Came the annoyed voice of Liang Lan.

”Ah? It’s President Liang.”

Hearing Liang Lan’s voice, Director Nie immediately softened.

Liang Lan was Lu Xiaobu, who he couldn’t afford to provoke.

”Young Master has given orders, in the next few days there will be small e-sports club competitions, and Shimen TV Station has exclusive broadcasting rights,” Liang Lan laid out the plan.

”E-sports? LOL?”

Director Nie was momentarily stunned.

He couldn’t quite understand what this meant.

You see, e-sports competitions were always broadcast through online platforms, there was no precedent for them being broadcast through a TV station!

”That’s right, e-sports competition. Someone will be in touch shortly, with e-sports you won’t have to worry about viewership ratings dropping!” Liang Lan continued.

”President Liang, can-can this work?!”

Director Nie was highly skeptical.

He had to be skeptical, after all, he was like the first man to eat crabs, and eating crabs is good, but if it turned out to be eating a spider, wouldn’t that kill him with poison!

”Cut the crap, this is the Young Master’s order!”

Liang Lan hung up after saying so.

She didn’t show any kindness to this guy who just dared to yell at her!

After Liang Lan hung up, Director Nie’s face turned from green to pale.

He was really hesitant!

However, quickly, he gritted his teeth and stomped his foot—damn it, let’s just go all in and see what happens!

”Everyone, get ready to air the show!”

...

On the set of Bright Sword.

Production was nearing its end, now it was all about enriching the details!

Lu Xiaobu was also waiting here.

”Young Master, I’ve informed him.”

Liang Lan reported.

”Mhm.”

Lu Xiaobu nodded.

A TV station’s viewership ratings blockade?!

You must not know that playing games can compete with having a girlfriend!

Sure, you hold great influence in the realm of film and television!

But, in the world of e-sports, you’re the grandsons!

However, of course, even though e-sports has a significant presence, its influence in higher ranks is still somewhat weak.

So, in the end, it all falls back on Bright Sword.

By the way, it’s worth noting—all these hassles actually have a silver lining.

That is, they’ve given a good workout for his quick-thinking process, and as a result, his previously drifting thoughts have improved a lot!

Believe it, before long, he’ll be able to go about his daily activities normally!

...

The next day.

In the realm of film and television.

”Tsks tsks tsks, in just one day, Shimen TV Station’s total viewership has already dropped to 0.5%!”

”Hahahaha, Director Nie is probably kicking himself! He finally had his moment of glory in his lifetime, and now he’s been knocked back to square one!”

”Well, he deserves it, supporting Lu Xiaobu against us?! Hehe, Lu Xiaobu is biting off more than he can chew, doesn’t he know that?!”

”My guess is! If the ratings keep falling, he can just pack up and leave; after all, those higher up won’t care about this and that!”

”Do you think Lu Xiaobu won’t fight back?!”

”Fight back?! With what?! A continuous 24-hour loop of A Chinese Odyssey?! Hahahahaha!”

”Yeah, if he can fight back, I’ll kneel before him!”

”...”

Well, right at this moment.

While people in the film and television industry were using Lu Xiaobu as a topic of after-dinner conversation.

Under close and intense preparations, the eSports competition was broadcasted on Shimen TV Station!

Lu Group, using its unique prestige and influence among players, swiftly spread the news to every gamer’s ears.

”Holy crap! An eSports competition!”

”There’s actually an eSports competition on Shimen TV Station!”

”Quick, quick, quick, change the channel! Change the channel!”

”It’s the Demon King Team versus the Ninety Heaven Team! OMG! This is freaking awesome!”

”...”

Remember the Demon King Team and the Ninety Heaven Team?

They’re the two teams that fought for the championship in the national competition!

Now the two teams are facing off again!

The excitement they sparked in the hearts of players is no less than Mars colliding with Earth!

At this moment, who the hell cares about TV dramas or movies!

The competition comes first!

Online netizens and gamers began to call their friends instantly!

”Quick, quick, quick!”

”What’s going on? I’m watching a TV drama with my girlfriend!”

”Screw the damn drama, it’s the match between the Demon King Team and the Ninety Heaven Team!”

”Holy shit! Where?!”

”Shimen TV Station!”

”Alright, I’ll tell my girlfriend now!”

”Tell her nothing! By the time you’re done talking, all the excitement will be over! Hurry up and get your keyboard ready, kneel down and watch!”

”Good idea!”

”...”

Similar conversations crazily spread across the entire internet!

Sure enough, countless guys also ended up getting thrashed by their girlfriends!

But, what of it?

Clutching their remote controls and kneeling on their keyboards, the guys endured the beatings from girlfriends who were furious for being interrupted during their idol dramas, all the while watching the match on Shimen TV Station with utmost seriousness!

...

This scene was quickly discovered by the big shots in the film and television industry!

”Damn! What the heck is this?!”

”An eSports competition being broadcasted on TV?! How did this happen?!”

”Quick, send someone to investigate the current ratings!”

”We haven’t got the statistics yet!”

”Can’t you get a rough estimate? It doesn’t have to be accurate!”

”Right, right, right, I’m all confused!”

”...”

In a flurry of confusion, a rough estimate of the ratings was produced!

The previous 0.5% had completely disappeared without a trace!

Viewership ratings jumped straight to 2.7%!

That previous 0.5% wasn’t even enough to count as a fraction now!

These film and television industry moguls went mad!

”Holy cow! Why is this happening?!”

”How long has it been?!”

”How could it rise this quickly?!”

”Where did all these people come from?”

”How did Lu Xiaobu do it?”

”...”

The faces of these film and television industry moguls were all burning hot!

They had been slapped hard by Lu Xiaobu!

At this very moment, as they recalled how confidently they had belittled Lu Xiaobu, they felt the burning even more acutely on their faces!

Damn it, how on earth did Lu Xiaobu do it?!

Well, among them was one boss who felt particularly embarrassed, the one who had said he would kneel before Lu Xiaobu. He muttered to himself, ”Well, luckily no one heard that, thankfully, thankfully!”

He was the one who had been smacked in the face the hardest!
