The company representatives, who had previously declared their belief in science, instantly did a 180-degree turn.

Because people who make games are very sensitive to probability. Other things can be deceiving, but probability never lies!

One company's test team leader, driven by a detail-oriented and inquisitive spirit, even wanted to test all the office buildings in this area, as well as every floor, to find the best feng shui location.

Otherwise, it would be a waste to rent the wrong floor for roughly the same rent, wouldn't it?

Hearing the test team leader's analysis, everyone nodded in agreement.

Yes, that's exactly what should be done!

Although this behavior was absurd, did it matter whether it was absurd or not when everyone already believed in metaphysics?

The most important thing was to hurry up and fix the bugs!

Even Yan Qi felt a bit regretful.

Good heavens, why didn't I think about "finding the signal" before renting office space!

I really should have looked for the best location in this feng shui treasure land. How careless of me.

But after a second thought, it wasn't a big problem. At worst, I could become a middleman in the future, subletting these spaces and moving to a place where bug-finding was more efficient.

Everyone quickly took action, scattering to search for the "center of the feng shui treasure land."

If there were a geomancer here who could determine the exact location, it might be more efficient. But even without one, it didn't matter. After all, mobile games were like radar. After testing for ten minutes in a new location and seeing how many bugs appeared, one could roughly deduce the specific feng shui of the area.

Moreover, everyone wasn't sure whether this feng shui treasure land radiated outward from a certain central point, or whether it was distributed irregularly within a certain area.

Therefore, they had to test several places to find the perfect location.

Everyone tested from noon until afternoon, finally determining a general range.

It seemed that the best feng shui treasure land had already been occupied by Chaolu Games Platform!

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

Therefore, the effect was better on the same floor as Chaolu Games Platform, or two floors directly above or below Chaolu Games Platform's office area.

Any further away, the effect would be greatly reduced, or even disappear completely.

After the testing, everyone was astonished.

Could there really be such a mystical place in the world?

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

After a little investigation, they discovered that this office building was located in a relatively remote and old area. The companies that had rented space here before were mostly in traditional industries, with no internet or game companies.

Clearly, this place had been overlooked!

In the beginning, many people were still skeptical, but after testing around the area, they completely succumbed to the power of metaphysics.

And this news was immediately shared in the group chat.

It wasn't that everyone was so selfless that they were willing to share the feng shui treasure land with others. It was mainly that this matter was so bizarre that it was unbearable to keep it a secret!

...

Chaolu Games Platform.

Li Yada had just finished her work and took some time to look at the chat group.

I wonder what these people from the game companies are talking about?

Although this was theoretically a work group, it was composed of different companies, and the atmosphere in the group was relatively free and relaxed. So there were a lot of messages and the topics were quite casual.

Li Yada had been busy with work, and it had become 99+ after a few hours of not checking.

After flipping through these people's chat logs, Li Yada was stunned.

"Huh?"

"What are these people saying?"

"This building is a feng shui treasure land? The probability of bugs appearing is particularly high?"

"And the very center of the feng shui treasure land is right here with us?"

"That's outrageous! How can such things be discussed openly in the group? Don't you people who make games have any scientific common sense?"

Li Yada was puzzled.

What kind of bug-finding feng shui treasure land is this? We've been here for a long time, and we haven't felt anything special!

Chaolu Games Platform's programs have been in development, and the number of bugs is just okay, not much different from when we were at Tengda.

Everyone else was basically transferred from Tengda's game department and tpdb website, working on the 16th, 17th, and 18th floors of Shenhua Grand View, and they didn't feel anything unusual after coming here.

Li Yada was speechless, and seeing a group of people still trying to pull more people to rent office space and freeload off the feng shui treasure land, she quickly clarified in the group.

"The feng shui treasure land thing is probably a joke, everyone don't take it seriously, I haven't felt any change at all."

But the people in the group didn't believe it at all.

"We tested it, it's really different!"

"Whatever, believe it or not, anyway the feng shui treasure land is almost completely snatched up, if you come late you won't be able to rent it."

"Actually, you don't need to arrange the entire test team to come over, just arrange one or two testers to find bugs here, and then the development team can modify them at their own company. The cost of two work spaces can greatly increase the speed of finding bugs, it's a great deal!"

"That's right, it's only two work spaces, you won't lose out!"

"I didn't believe it at first, until I actually came over and tried it..."

"Really? I'm in Shanghai, I'll send two testers on a business trip right away, can you bosses save a spot for our company? If it's true, we will definitely reward you handsomely!"

There were also some companies in the group that weren't in Jingzhou, and seeing everyone in the group describing it so vividly, they couldn't help but become curious and wanted to send people over to take a look.

What if it was true?

How much does it cost to rent two work spaces? If it could really greatly increase the efficiency of finding bugs, it would be a great bargain!

Li Yada tried to clarify, but found that it didn't seem to work at all.

"Forget it... whatever."

"Anyway, it doesn't cost me money to rent work spaces here. Whether this place can improve the efficiency of fixing bugs or not, it's good to give these people a little psychological comfort."

Li Yada knew that it was meaningless to talk about science and rationality to these people with serious metaphysical thoughts, because they would never believe it.

I should focus on the game platform!

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

"Should I... test it too?"

"Well, I can just grab a game demo from any company, run it on this floor and count the bugs; then run it outside the building and count the bugs, and then I can see if there's a difference, right?"

...

...

August 16th, Thursday morning.

Meng Chang came to Chaolu Games Platform early in the morning, ready to discuss the second phase of the publicity plan with Tang Yishu and Li Yada, as well as the specific time for the game platform to start its trial operation.

However, as soon as he reached the floor where Chaolu Games Platform was located, before he even walked inside, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Why does it seem... livelier?

He remembered very clearly that when Chaolu Games Platform first came, there were still quite a few empty work spaces on this floor. Although it seemed that a few more work spaces had been rented out later, there were still many empty ones.

But now, the work spaces seemed to be full?

Not only that, but there were also many people without work spaces, either sitting on the chairs in the lounge area, or simply leaning against the side with their laptops, not knowing what they were busy with.

Meng Chang felt very confused.

This office building wasn't in a prime location, and the environment wasn't particularly good, so why did so many people suddenly come to rent?

Moreover, people were coming and going, looking quite busy and excited.

Meng Chang came to Chaolu Games Platform's conference room with questions and started a meeting with Tang Yishu and Li Yada.

"Why have so many companies moved in recently? What's going on in this building? Did the rent go down?" Meng Chang asked.

Li Yada also felt a bit dumbfounded and explained what had happened recently.

"This building is a feng shui treasure land, and the efficiency of finding bugs has increased?"

"How is that possible!"

Meng Chang was also very surprised.

So many people actually believe in this kind of metaphysics?

That's outrageous!

Li Yada sighed: "I didn't believe it at all at first, just like you. But I took a game with bugs and tested it, and found that it was actually true..."

"In this area, the probability of bugs appearing is indeed higher. This is concrete data from testing."

"But our development process hasn't been affected. It's mainly the external game companies that have been greatly affected."

"And I found that those games that have been tested and rarely have bugs, seem to really not have any bugs, or rather, even if there are bugs, they are the kind that appear with a particularly low probability, so you basically won't encounter them, and they don't affect the gaming experience."

"Now I don't know how to explain this matter, is it metaphysics, or just pure luck..."

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

Meng Chang fell into thought: "There's such a thing?"

Li Yada waved her hand: "Forget it, this matter has nothing to do with us anyway, it's a good thing after all. These companies can find bugs faster, and the games can be launched sooner."

"Let's talk about the publicity plan first."

Meng Chang nodded and began to get down to business.

"The first phase of publicity has been successfully completed."

"There are two goals. The first is to leave an impression on netizens, so that Chaolu Games Platform gains a certain amount of attention and popularity; the second is to let game companies know about our platform, so that we can get more games before the platform starts its trial operation."

"I heard that the game platform's program has been developed, so... do you have any clear ideas about the specific date to start the trial operation?"

"I've already prepared two plans for the second phase of the publicity, and I'm just waiting for the platform to officially start its trial operation."

Li Yada considered for a moment and said: "I originally thought that we could officially start the trial operation on Friday, which is tomorrow."

"But..."

"The most pessimistic situation we predicted has happened."

"I originally thought that the two companies encountering a lot of bugs was just an isolated phenomenon, but now it seems to be a common phenomenon... Most of the games we're cooperating with can't be launched because there are too many bugs."

"There are only three or four old games that have been running for a long time that meet the requirements."

"Although we can start the trial operation, there are only four games on the entire platform, is that even reasonable? And these four games are all old games that have been running for a long time."

"This trial operation, it's better not to open it than to open it..."

Meng Chang said: "In that case, let's just use the publicity plan I prepared earlier that doesn't have any games!"

"Four games and no games are the same plan."

Li Yada was a little surprised: "You really came up with a publicity plan without any games? Will it work?"

"The game platform is in trial operation, but there isn't a single game on it, isn't that too outrageous?"

Meng Chang smiled slightly: "It will work!"

"But... we need the platform to cooperate a little and add 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 been fixed of bugs yet."

"On the detailed page of each game, display the number of bugs that are currently being fixed, and it will change in real time!"

Li Yada was a little surprised: "Will that work too?"

"Well... maybe it will actually have an effect."

"On the one hand, the game library looks more substantial and won't be so shabby; on the other hand, the games are still being modified for bugs, which is in line with the fact that our platform is in trial operation; most importantly, it allows players to know the current progress and have a sense of participation."

"But this doesn't really solve the problem, right? Players still can't play the games, and it might even arouse resentment from some players..."

Meng Chang smiled slightly: "Of course I expected this, it doesn't matter, this is also part of the publicity plan."

"Moreover, combining the fact that these companies are finding bugs, I also thought of a very good follow-up plan..."

"But we must further prove the authenticity of this 'feng shui treasure land' and confirm that these companies really have no bugs after they're fixed, before this plan can be fully implemented!"
