"Alright, Old Ye, activate the T6-level promotion channel now!"
Ye Xu was montarily stunned:
"T6 level?"
Gong Zenghui nodded emphatically:
"That’s right, T6 level."
As a top live streaming platform, Bilibili naturally has a certain grading system for live stream promotions, ranging from T1 to T6 in ascending order.
However, under normal circumstances, what users usually see is T5-level promotion, which ans banner ads on the live stream page and login page.
As for T6 promotion, it is practically rare enough to see once in a blue moon.
This level of exposure is significantly higher than regular promotions, but it cos with the risk of certain user attrition. The main thod is.....
Sending private ssages and SMS!
The most recent T6-level promotion was for a Harry Potter mobile ga, where every user above level 2 received a notification, elevating the ga’s popularity to an extraordinary level in no ti.
Of course, there were also a lot of criticisms.
Gong Zenghui, as the CTO of the technology departnt, had the authority to use T6-level promotion, but he also needed to take responsibility for the consequences of activating the promotion.
If the long-tail revenue from the promotion falls below the user loss, he might even face the deduction of his stock option bonuses, which is no small number.
It could be said that Gong Zenghui staked a significant bargaining chip for this live stream!
A few minutes later.
In the command room, Xu Yun suddenly felt a vibration from the phone in his pocket. Upon opening it, he found a notification SMS:
"[Bilibili]Dear Bilibili user, the Ke Da cockroach extermination live stream is currently steaming hot, copy the SMS code to open the client and enter the live stream room!"
Looking at the ssage in his hand, Xu Yun blinked, ready to say sothing to Tian Liangwei.
But as soon as he turned his head, he saw his teacher also holding a phone, showing a Bilibili private ssage.....
Seeing Xu Yun looking at him, Tian Liangwei nonchalantly turned off the screen:
"My granddaughter likes to use my phone to watch kitten videos, so I downloaded the app, don’t be too surprised."
"But I clearly saw Jia Ran Grand Commandant and plaza dance, the hopage’s smart promotion is based on what you frequently watch..."
"Xiaoxu, I think you should consider changing so external reviewers for your graduation thesis next year, I think Professor Linshan from National Science University is a good choice."
"...It’s normal for kids to play with phones, but you need to manage the ti well, or it will be troubleso if it damages their eyesight."
"Hmm, watch the live stream."
"..."
anwhile, as Xu Yun and Tian Liangwei were conversing, the number of cockroaches at the extermination site surged once again.
However, this ti the cockroaches didn’t erge from the pipe openings but from several sewer entrances that Ke Da had opened in advance!
Their numbers grew from a dozen to thirty or forty, with many even forming thin, long black lines.
From the drone’s aerial view, even without zooming in, you could clearly see those moving black lines, so stretching over twenty ters!
At this point, there were hardly any negative comnts visible online.
Due to deep imrsion, sothing weird was happening on many live streaming platforms:
The number of bullet comnts was decreasing, but the backend showed the real number of viewers was increasing.
At this mont.
In university dorms...
In residential housing...
On subways and in open squares...
In so Wi-Fi-enabled cafes and restaurants...
Even in multidia rooms of so biochemical companies...
A large number of people of different ages, professions, and genders, whether alone or gathered, were focused on this unprecedented cockroach extermination battle.
Twelve noon sharp.
By now, it had been two hours since the first generation of cockroaches consud the gel bait, and the transmission generation of Imidacloprid reached nearly the third generation.
On-site at several extermination points, cockroaches had already piled up in the center, forming a heap over five ters wide and nearly fifteen centiters tall, emitting a sticky stench.
Throughout the East District’s plastic pipelines and sewer entrances, cockroaches crawled out every minute.
This scene still fell short compared to the previous one at Building 14, given that the entire East District covers a much larger and complex area than a single dormitory building.
Nevertheless, any place has its limits, and with enough ti, even the remotest and deepest areas can be affected.
Around twelve thirty.
The range of pheromone spread finally reached a certain boundary, stirring so deeper existences.
In the southeastern part of Ke Da’s East District lies the largest sewage conduit of the entire campus.
This conduit, whether in terms of age or specifications, far exceeds those near Building 14.
Nearly a third of the East District’s dostic wastewater discharges from here, and given Ke Da’s location in central Luzhou, this could be considered a core sewage node of Luzhou City.
The conduit burrows deep beneath the ground, blending with the surrounding soil over the decades.
Seven or eight ters below the pipeline.
This area is soaked with sewage, dark and damp, devoid of light.
Bacteria thrive, filthy beyond asure.
This area has been hollowed out into intricate little paths, with huge brown cockroaches huddled closely together.
So are resting, so mating, and so digesting food.
Nestled among the gaps between the cockroaches are nurous transparent cockroach eggs, nurturing the next generation of nymphs.
From a cross-section perspective, this area’s thickness might only be seven or eight centiters, vastly different from the ters-long hollow depths of an ant nest.
But if viewed with planar equipnt sweeping across, you’d find this area deceptively continuous, covering an area no less than...
five soccer fields!
This is the world hidden in the shadows, the stronghold of Ke Da cockroaches, their paradise.
Cockroaches don’t have a king as ants do, but when their numbers grow large enough, they can produce a mutant leader-like ’pseudo-queen.’
Cai Cai Zi is such a mutant pseudo-queen, reaching 8.5 centiters in length, twice the size of an ordinary cockroach.
It burrows in the nest daily, rarely venturing out.
Today’s Cai Cai Zi was no different, its two antennae swaying erratically, its mutated enlarged abdon nurturing its next generation of offspring.
But gradually, a faint, peculiar scent began to stir within its sensory organs.
Stimulated by this scent, Cai Cai Zi suddenly felt an emptiness so deep it penetrated its marrow, as if sothing far away was beckoning it.
Unconsciously, it began to move its body outward.
And along with it, other subterranean kin began to crawl out —
A million cockroaches.
