128: Section 128

Under these few comments, there were also many mocking voices.

"Don't try to save face. I could also say that everyone in my dorm plays Dota Mobile."

"Let me put it this way: half a year ago, the Yan Country gaming industry just released a report, stating that the mobile game player base in Yan Country was only sixty million. Yesterday, Dota had forty-seven million active users, so Honor of Kings could at most only have the remaining ten million players."

"I had never played games half a year ago, and now I've started playing Honor of Kings. This data doesn't seem right."

"Get out of here. What good are a few dozen new users? Even if new users increased by ten million, no, twenty million, making the total mobile game users eighty million, Dota Mobile would still occupy the majority. How can Honor of Kings compare?"

Looking at the comment that provided the numbers.

The other Honor of Kings players also fell silent and did not continue to argue.

Because what this player said was actually correct.

Even if Honor of Kings was given another twenty million users, Honor of Kings' active player count still couldn't surpass Dota Mobile.

After several previous skirmishes.

This time, Dota Mobile seemed to have truly returned to the top spot on the daily active users list!

And at this moment.

Inside the Honor of Kings department at Junzi Group Tower.

"Mr. Wang, the average daily active user count from a few days ago has been released."

"Are we really choosing to disclose it at this point, and not continue to secretly attract potential mobile game players?"

Zhou Qiang was asking Wang Mo.

And Wang Mo nodded very firmly.

"This current number is basically the upper limit of the new players we can attract."

"If we want to continue to expand this number, we can't promote it so low-key. We must increase the intensity of our publicity."

"But if we do that, our actions will definitely attract the attention of Penguin Group, and they will quickly detect us."

"Since expanding publicity will lead to them discovering us, why don't we just directly disclose it and let Penguin Group detect the large number of potential players directly."

"If that's the case, what do you think Penguin Group's next step will be?"

Wang Mo looked at Zhou Qiang.

After a moment of thought, Zhou Qiang slowly said.

"Penguin Group will increase its advertising investment in other areas, and will search for potential mobile game players with a promotional intensity dozens of times greater than ours."

Listening to Zhou Qiang's answer, Wang Mo slowly nodded.

"Although Penguin Group previously used QQ to extensively promote the new version of Dota Mobile, not all QQ accounts received this promotion at that time."

"At that time, only QQ accounts that had registered game accounts with QQ could receive Penguin Group's promotional information. Penguin Group did not promote Dota Mobile advertisements to those QQ accounts that had never registered any games."

"Because in Penguin Group's view, promoting games to this group of people was just a waste of time."

"But once Penguin Group discovers the potential of mobile game users, they will certainly not let go of any internet users in any field, and will truly promote it across the entire network."

"And Penguin Group's insane promotional capability for these potential users is indeed something we currently lack."

"To truly unearth all potential mobile game users in Yan Country, we indeed need to leverage Penguin Group's capabilities."

After Wang Mo finished speaking.

Zhou Qiang couldn't help but frown, then asked again.

"But if that happens, although a large number of new players will be attracted, they will all go to Dota Mobile."

Listening to this, Wang Mo smiled.

"You don't need to worry about that."

"Have you forgotten our previous updates?"

"All of our updates were to improve the gaming environment for new players."

"Once Penguin Group's internal team detects the number of potential mobile game players, their main energy will definitely be focused on attracting these players. They will temporarily shift their attention away from copying Honor of Kings."

"So the series of modes and maps we launched previously, as well as the strengthening of AI opponents, Dota Mobile will not learn in a short time, because even if they discover the potential mobile game player base in Yan Country, they won't discover the real reason for our previous updates, and they won't pay attention."

Wang Mo paused.

His expression seemed quite relaxed.

"Not to mention."

"Even the modified new Dota Mobile still has a much higher learning curve than Honor of Kings, plus a less friendly gaming environment for new players. How do you think players will choose?"

Listening to Wang Mo's words.

Zhou Qiang's eyes immediately lit up.

"Penguin Group can indeed attract a large number of new players, but the new Dota Mobile cannot retain many of them."

"And these players will ultimately be attracted to Honor of Kings!"

After Zhou Qiang finished speaking, Wang Mo slowly nodded.

"Moreover, our Honor of Kings still has an extremely crucial update that hasn't been released."

"Once this update is launched, player stickiness and online time will increase again, and it will also attract more player groups."

"So at this current time."

"We can indeed disclose the daily active users and let Penguin Group detect the potential player base."

"Then."

Wang Mo paused.

"We can just wait for Penguin Group to do the work for us."

After Dota Mobile released its latest daily active user data.

Many Dota Mobile players also started celebrating directly.

In their eyes, Honor of Kings had not released data for over a month, so it must have already lost to the new Dota Mobile.

But what no one expected was.

Just half an hour later.

A piece of information posted on Honor of Kings' official Weibo directly ignited the entire network's hot searches, topping the hot search list with a huge trending topic!

And this hot search only contained a short sentence.

"Honor of Kings' daily active user count has exceeded sixty million!"

Soon after this Weibo was posted.

It directly received over a million likes and comments.

It instantly ignited the entire mobile game player community in Yan Country.

When they saw this number, many people couldn't believe it. The mobile game player base in Yan Country was only sixty million in total, so how could your daily active user count from the day before be so high?

And it's important to know.

Honor of Kings did not hold any events the day before.

It was just an ordinary Saturday, as normal as could be, while the new Dota Mobile had the popular Combat Night event launched.

But even on such an ordinary Saturday.

Honor of Kings' daily active player count actually far exceeded Dota Mobile's daily active users.

How was this possible?

So, at the first moment, almost most players who saw this number questioned the authenticity of the information.

If it was just the registration count reaching sixty million, it would be understandable.

But this was the daily active player count.

What's more.

On that day, Dota Mobile also had forty-seven million logged-in players.

Which means.

If Honor of Kings' achievement was real.

Then wouldn't that mean the mobile game user base in Yan Country had already surpassed one hundred million?

As countless players were half-believing, half-doubting this number.

At this moment.

Inside Penguin Group.

"For the time being, we can focus on Honor of Kings."]}
