Moreover, the variance in step count data is very large; the number of people willing to run more than 5,000 steps far exceeds the number of people who were willing to run more than 3,000 steps in the past.
In other words, the people who are least willing to exercise still didn't move.
The average score was raised thanks to those marathon runners!
Among the top 1% of scorers, some even ran a marathon of more than 40 kilometers!
"puff!!!!!"
Those who saw the data were terrified.
In the interstellar era, people willing to run long distances are not just rare, they should be called gods.
Mingyan rubbed his eyes and fell into deep thought: "Is it really that effective? A difference of more than a thousand steps... Could it be that other works have also just been released?"
At this moment, the examiner standing at the very back had a very complicated expression.
He walked over and handed me a tablet, saying, "Looking at the data sources, no one dared to compete with you yesterday."
Mingyan took a look and saw that yesterday's statistics showed that runners who played "Dragon Hunter" while wearing AR devices accounted for 89% of all extra steps.
"..."
In other words, these extra thousand steps per person are really all for the Dragon Hunters.
Varian, standing to the side, chuckled and said, "Boss, there weren't any game releases yesterday."
It's been like this for a long time. Whenever Blue Star Studio announces in advance which day they will release a new game, no one in Sixth Star Province dares to challenge them directly.
There was no need for publicity that day.
Because almost no players learn about the new game through the day's advertisements; most people are already waiting for it, and many even set alarms and reminders.
So recently, on Earth, whenever a game is released, it's basically like everyone finally gets a holiday.
When the data for the Dragon Hunters came out, no one was particularly surprised, but they were still overjoyed and wanted to jump for joy.
Mingyan clapped his hands, and seeing them looking over, he smiled and said, "Well, today we've come in first place on the 'Offline Health and Fitness' promotion ranking! To celebrate the reward for everyone's hard work over the past six months—"
"Get a red envelope!!!" someone screamed.
Mingyan said helplessly, "Yeah, go get your red envelope."
Everyone happily lowered their heads again, opened the Blue Star internal app, and started receiving red envelopes.
"?"
The examiner standing at the very back stood on tiptoe and craned his neck to try and see the screen next to him.
The other person even rolled their eyes at him.
The reviewer didn't dwell on it, because he was genuinely curious: Were all the red envelopes on Blue Star sent directly through the app? How much did each person receive, and where did the money come from? Were they sent out every time the game launched, or only when the game made money?
Then the examiner saw it.
The unremarkable art staff member next to me, who was also a junior employee who had only been there for a year, was showered with red envelopes as soon as he opened the app.
The numbers inside made the examiner swallow hard.
Ignoring his own pride, he asked, "Does this red envelope feature exist in every game?"
The employee replied, "That's impossible!"
The examiner breathed a sigh of relief.
The employee said, "Of course, it will be paid out every month. Last year, I also participated in the final stages of the production of 'Assassin's Way,' so I will receive a monthly revenue bonus from 'Assassin's Way' based on my contribution. This bonus will continue to be paid out as long as I am still working on Earth, until I retire, and they will keep chasing after me after I retire."
Reviewer: "..."
—Hmph, you got cocky all along, now you've got to eat your words!
The employee felt refreshed and even deliberately opened his red envelope from last month, wanting to show it off to him.
The inspector had stopped looking at his phone and was staring at the back of Chief Engineer Ming's head as he continued to ask, "Are you still hiring for that... testing job?"
staff:"……"
174. "Therapy Center"
Seeing that the employee was stunned and did not answer, the inspector gestured with his hand again.
"I mean, the kind of job where you just play games all day, are there any left? Of course, it's not like you're just sitting around doing nothing. I know a lot about the censorship system in the gaming industry."
"..."
"Oh, right, I get it. If you can refer me, I'll definitely give you a reward." The examiner seemed to understand something, and remembering the size of the red envelope he had just seen, he gritted his teeth and said with a pained expression, "How about three of these red envelopes?"
"..." The employee was stunned for a moment, then suddenly bowed to him sincerely.
—Yesterday they were criticizing the system on Earth for being so unreasonable, and today they're suddenly scrambling to get in. What a flexible and adaptable man! Impressive!
However, getting into Blue Star isn't so easy.
Regardless of where they come from, all recruits must go through a strict process.
Although there is no limit to the number of internal referrals for employees, those who are referred are only exempt from one written test; they still have to go through all the interviews.
Nowadays, Bluestar's interview process involves a total of 4-6 rounds, covering everything from technical aspects to HR and superiors.
