Chapter 845: Serent Mountain?
On June 15th, Chen Mo’s Weibo and Thunderbolt Interactive’s official website simultaneously updated with a preview of the 618 event.
Many players were dumbfounded at first glance. What does this mean? Again?
Chen Mo, are you really picking a fight with the e-commerce festival?
Last year during Double 11, you followed along with the half-price sale, and now you’re coming for 618 too?
Remember, last year’s Double 11, many people were originally planning to buy digital products, clothing, or other stuff. But with Chen Mo butting in, nobody ended up buying anything...
There was no helping it. Compared to physical goods, the discounts on virtual games were just too massive. If those normal products were all genuinely sold at half price, they’d probably lose a ton of money. So many merchants either raised prices first and then lowered them, offered limited discounts, or sold in limited quantities. For consumers, it wasn’t really that great a deal.
But games were different. Since everything was virtual, selling more at half price actually earned more...
So, many players simply couldn’t control their hands. They bought games and value-added services, and as a result, the digital products and clothes they’d planned to buy for Double 11 mostly went unpurchased...
A lot of people consoled themselves: It’s fine, just wait for 618!
And then 618 came, and Chen Mo showed up again...
Many players started crying before even reading the event details: Please, let my J2—oh, I mean, let my wallet take a break!
But when players carefully read the detailed explanation of this 618 event, they felt a bit better.
Strictly speaking, it was both comforting and disappointing.
Comforting because, thankfully, it wasn’t a full half-price sale.
Disappointing because, why isn’t it a full half-price sale...
All you can say is, humans are such contradictory creatures. Many people say they have no money left, but deep down, they’re still looking forward to 618’s half-price games. At least it would help with cash flow, so they wouldn’t have to wait until Double 11 to get their tokens back.
Disappointment aside, when many people looked closely at the 618 event, they found it was actually quite interesting!

The content of this 618 event was roughly as follows.
The first item was a large-scale event across the entire Thunderbolt Game Platform, mainly aimed at promoting games and boosting player activity.
