The company representatives who had just claimed to believe in science did a complete 180-degree turn in their attitude.

Game developers are particularly sensitive to probability—other things might deceive, but probability never lies!

One company’s testing team leader, driven by a detail-oriented spirit of inquiry, even wanted to test all the office buildings in the area and each floor to find the optimal location of this feng shui treasure spot.

Otherwise, if they paid similar rent but chose the wrong floor, wouldn’t that be a waste?

Hearing this testing team leader’s analysis, everyone nodded in agreement.

Yes, that’s exactly what they should do!

Although this behavior was absurd, since everyone now believed in the mystical approach… did it even matter whether it was absurd or not?

Getting those bugs fixed quickly was the real priority!

Even Yan Qi felt a bit of regret.

Wow, why didn’t I think of “finding the signal” before renting workspace?

He really should have looked for the optimal location of this feng shui treasure spot first—that was careless.

But on second thought, it wasn’t a big problem. At worst, he could become a middleman, subletting these workspaces and moving to a place with higher bug-finding efficiency.

Everyone quickly took action, dispersing to search for the “center point of the feng shui treasure spot” nearby.

If a feng shui master skilled in locating auspicious spots were present, the efficiency might have been higher, but it didn’t matter. The mobile games served as radar—testing in a new location for ten minutes and counting the number of bugs that appeared could roughly estimate how good the feng shui was in that specific place.

Moreover, no one was certain whether this feng shui treasure spot spread outward from a central point or was distributed irregularly within a certain area.

Therefore, they needed to test multiple locations to find the optimal spot.

Everyone tested from noon until afternoon and finally determined a rough range.

It seemed… the best feng shui spot had already been occupied by the Morning Dew Gaming Platform!

And the bug-finding effect basically spread from this area outward, with the entire domain roughly forming a sphere.

Therefore, on the same floor as Morning Dew Gaming Platform, or two floors directly above or below their office area, the effect was relatively good.

Further away, the effect diminished significantly or disappeared completely.

After finishing the tests, everyone was stunned.

Could such a mystical place really exist in this world?

If so, why hadn’t anyone discovered it before?

After some investigation, they found that this office building was in a relatively remote location and quite old. Previously, companies renting workspace here were mostly traditional industries, with no internet or gaming companies.

Clearly, this place had been overlooked!

At first, many people were skeptical, but after testing around the area, they completely surrendered to the mystical explanation.

This news was immediately shared in the group chat.

It wasn’t that everyone was so selfless, willing to share the feng shui treasure spot with others; mainly, this situation was so bizarre that they couldn’t help but talk about it!

…

Morning Dew Gaming Platform.

Li Yada had just finished her work and took a moment to check the chat group.

What were these game company people chatting about?

Although theoretically it was a work group, it consisted of different companies, so the atmosphere was relatively free and relaxed, with many casual messages and everyday topics.

Li Yada had been busy working, and after not checking for several hours, the unread messages exceeded 99+.

Scrolling through their chat history, Li Yada was stunned.

“Huh?”

“What are these people talking about?”

“This building is a feng shui treasure spot? The probability of bugs appearing is especially high?”

“And the center of this feng shui treasure spot is exactly where we are?”

“This is ridiculous! How can such things be openly discussed in the group? Don’t you game developers have any scientific common sense?”

Li Yada was perplexed.

What feng shui treasure spot for finding bugs? We’ve been here for quite some time and haven’t noticed anything!

Morning Dew Gaming Platform’s program had been in development all along, and the number of bugs seemed normal—no different from their time at Tenda.

Other staff had mostly been transferred from Tenda’s game department and the TPDb website, originally working on the 16th, 17th, and 18th floors of Shenhua Luxury View. After coming here, they hadn’t noticed anything unusual either.

Li Yada was speechless, watching as people were actively trying to bring more companies to rent workspaces and take advantage of the feng shui spot. She quickly clarified in the group:

“The feng shui treasure spot thing must be a joke—don’t take it seriously. I haven’t noticed any change at all.”

But no one in the group believed her.

“We’ve tested it, it’s really different!”

“Whatever, believe it or not, but the spots in the feng shui location are almost all taken—those who come late won’t be able to rent anymore.”

“Actually, you don’t need to move your entire testing team over. Just arrange one or two testers to continually find bugs here, while the development team fixes them back at your own company. The cost of two workspaces can greatly increase the speed of finding bugs—it’s incredibly cost-effective!”

“Exactly, just two workspaces—you can’t lose!”

“I didn’t believe it at first either, until I actually came and tried it…”

“For real? I’m in Magic City, sending two testers on a business trip right now. Could the big shots save a spot for our company? If it’s true, we’ll definitely show our gratitude!”

There were even a few companies not in Jingzhou who, seeing everyone in the group describing it so vividly, couldn’t help but become curious and wanted to send people to check it out.

What if it was true?

How much was the rent for two workspaces? If it could really greatly improve bug-finding efficiency, it would be so worth it!

Li Yada tried to clarify, but found it completely ineffective.

“Forget it… whatever.”

“It’s not like renting workspaces here costs me anything. Whether this place improves bug-fixing efficiency or not, giving these people some psychological comfort is fine too.”

Li Yada knew that talking about science and rationality to people with strong mystical beliefs was meaningless—they wouldn’t believe it anyway.

Better to focus on the gaming platform matters!

However, after working for a while, she still couldn’t stop thinking about it.

“Maybe… I should test it myself?”

“Hmm, I could just take a game demo from any company, run it on this floor and count the bugs, then go outside the building, run it again and count the bugs. That would show whether there’s a difference, right?”

…

…

August 16, Thursday morning.

Meng Chang arrived at Morning Dew Gaming Platform early to discuss the second phase of the promotional plan with Tang Yishu and Li Yada, as well as the specific timing for the gaming platform’s trial operation.

However, just as he reached the floor where Morning Dew Gaming Platform was located, before even entering, he suddenly felt something was off.

Why did it seem… more lively?

He remembered clearly that when Morning Dew Gaming Platform first moved in, many workspaces on this floor were still empty. Though a few more were rented out later, there were still many vacancies.

But now, the workspaces all seemed to be occupied?

Not only that, there were many people without workspaces either sitting in the rest area chairs or simply leaning against the wall with their laptops, busily working on something.

Meng Chang was very confused.

This office building wasn’t in a prime location, and the environment wasn’t particularly good—why were so many people suddenly renting here?

And everyone was coming and going, looking quite busy and excited.

Meng Chang brought his confusion to the Morning Dew Gaming Platform meeting room, where he met with Tang Yishu and Li Yada.

“Why have so many companies moved in recently? What’s happening with this building? Did they lower the rent?” Meng Chang asked.

Li Yada was somewhat amused and exasperated as she explained what had happened.

“This building is a feng shui treasure spot where bug-finding efficiency increases?”

“That’s impossible!”

Meng Chang was also surprised.

How could so many people believe in such mystical nonsense?

Ridiculous!

Li Yada sighed: “Initially, I was just like you—I didn’t believe it at all. But I took a buggy game to test, and found that it’s actually true…”

“In this area, the probability of bugs appearing really did increase—this is real data from testing.”

“But our development process hasn’t been affected; it’s mainly those game companies outside that have been greatly impacted.”

“And I’ve found that games that have been tested to have very few bugs really don’t seem to have bugs anymore, or if they do, they’re the kind with such low probability that you basically won’t encounter them and they don’t affect the gaming experience.”

“Now I don’t know how to explain this—is it mystical, or simply luck…”

As Li Yada spoke, Tang Yishu’s head lowered even further.

Meng Chang fell into deep thought: “This kind of thing really happens?”

Li Yada waved her hand: “Anyway, it doesn’t concern us. It’s a good thing overall. These companies can find bugs faster, so their games can go online sooner.”

“Let’s get back to the promotional plan.”

Meng Chang nodded and got to the point.

“The first phase of promotion has been successfully completed.”

“There were two objectives: first, to leave an impression on internet users, helping Morning Dew Gaming Platform gain a certain level of attention and recognition; second, to make game companies aware of our platform, obtaining as many games as possible before the platform’s trial operation.”

“I heard the platform’s program has been fully developed, so… do you have a clear idea of when to start the trial operation?”

“For the second step of the promotional plan, I’ve prepared two options, just waiting for the platform to officially begin trial operations.”

After some consideration, Li Yada said: “I originally thought of starting the trial operation tomorrow, Friday.”

“But…”

“The worst-case scenario we predicted has happened.”

“I originally thought that those two companies encountering a ton of bugs was an isolated incident, but now it seems to be a widespread phenomenon… Most games cooperating with us can’t go online due to too many bugs.”

“Only three or four older games that have been operating for a long time meet the criteria.”

“Although we can start the trial operation, having only four games on the entire platform—does that make sense? And all four are old games that have been operating for a long time.”

“This trial operation might be better not launched at all…”

Meng Chang said: “In that case, let’s just use the promotional plan I previously prepared for a situation with no games!”

“The plan for four games is the same as the plan for no games.”

Li Yada was surprised: “You really came up with a promotional plan for no games? Will it work?”

“A gaming platform starting its trial operation without a single game—isn’t that too absurd?”

Meng Chang smiled slightly: “It will work!”

“However… the platform needs to cooperate a bit and create a small feature.”

Li Yada asked: “What small feature?”

Meng Chang: “According to the previous arrangement, open all the games’ information pages and promotional pages as usual. But players can’t download these games that haven’t completed bug fixes yet.”

“On each game’s detail page, display the number of bugs currently being fixed, updating in real-time!”

Li Yada was somewhat surprised: “That works too?”

“Hmm… it might actually be effective.”

“On one hand, the game library will look more substantial, not so sparse; on the other hand, the games are still fixing bugs, which fits with our platform being in trial operation. Most importantly, it lets players know the current progress, giving them a sense of participation.”

“But this doesn’t really solve the problem, does it? Players still can’t play the games, and it might even cause some players to resent us…”

Meng Chang smiled slightly: “Of course, I anticipated that too. Don’t worry, this is also part of the promotional plan.”

“Moreover, combined with these companies’ bug-finding situation, I’ve thought of a very good follow-up plan…”

“However, we must further verify the authenticity of this ‘feng shui treasure spot’ and confirm that these companies really have no bugs after fixing them before this plan can be fully implemented!”
