1053 Tengda Secretly Changed The Probability Too?

"Old Qiao, you f*cker…"

Pei Qian nearly fainted after reading the last paragraph.

Look, look, look. Was this something a human would do?

I don't care if you explain the rules of the game's lucky draw and expose the insider information of the industry.

However, don't push the blame onto me!

Especially when Qiao Liang said 'Boss Pei is the one who really stood up to expose all of this', he pushed the blame cleanly.

At that time, no matter how much influence this video would have, everyone would think that Boss Pei was the real revealer, and Qiao Liang was just a content creator who happened to interpret it.

Wasn't this causing trouble!?

In fact, Pei Qian had not thought so much about it. He was quite envious of Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation's lucky draw.

The reason why he made it so that players could refund freely in Fitness Battle was so that gamers could refund more and spend less money.

Yet, Qiao Liang had misunderstood him!

Based on the current situation and based on his previous experience, it was useless to clarify now. That was because the gamers had already been bewitched by Qiao Liang, and the popularity of this topic was rapidly rising.

The gamers would not believe him even if he explained!

After all, Qiao Liang's reason was more reasonable and convincing than 'purely wanting to lose money'.

That was what made Pei Qian the most uncomfortable: no matter what he did, Qiao Liang always seemed to be able to give a reason that was more believable than his original motive…

Pei Qian felt that something was amiss seeing that the video was getting more and more popular.

That was because public opinion on both sides was subtly changing.

At first, many people felt that Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation had made a lot of sense with this lucky draw event. Their impression of them had changed greatly. The unhappiness they had previously showed signs of gradually losing their memories.

However, many people felt that something was amiss after watching the video.

It was said to be a lucky draw to give back to players, but according to Teacher Qiao's video, this kind of lucky draw was actually making money!

Many ballers had already started to take action and showed their statistics.

Probability was a very difficult thing to prove. That was because the probability of being calculated would be infinitely close to the real probability only when the data was large enough. If the sample was not large enough, the probability of being calculated would naturally not be accurate.

It was precisely because it was difficult to prove that many game developers were so fearless that they played all sorts of tricks.

However, the lucky draw event between Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation was huge this time. Many ballers participated in it. Therefore, when ballers showed their lucky draw records, there would still be some reference value.

The most important thing was that many people were staring at the final ownership of that car.

Teacher Qiao had already made a judgment in the video: This car would definitely not be given to ordinary players according to the lucky draw rules. There would definitely be a consumer threshold. It would only be obtained after it was fully charged.

If the final result was as Teacher Qiao predicted, it would prove that the lucky draw was a fake probability. There were indeed some rules that were not written and hidden in the code.

These were unspoken rules that many people were already used to but it would not be the same once it was pointed out.

This lottery draw was indeed more conscientious than many lucky draws. What's more, even after Qiao Liang's video was released, those who should continue to draw would not be able to achieve the effect that everyone would resist.

However, the key was that it was trending online!

Previously, many people had lost their memories because of this lucky draw event. They felt that Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation's lucky draw event was more conscientious than Tengda's. However, this video revealed a fact: this lucky draw looked conscientious, but it was actually incomparable to Tengda's sincerity!

Thus, the hot topic on the internet once again leaned towards Tengda.

The discussion of the Fitness Battle, Fully-Automated Smart Bickering Machine, and the 515 Games Festival once again gained the upper hand.

Those who originally wanted to participate in the lucky draw, fish out a few earphones or keyboards to play, after watching this video, many people dispelled their thoughts.

Instead of spending a lot of money for the illusory lucky draw with negative expectations, they might as well buy a smart fitness drying rack, charge money in the Fitness Combat, or participate in the 515 Game Festival.

At least the other side was full of sincerity!

…

Pei Qian was filled with sorrow as he watched the trend on the internet become more and more abnormal.

Wasn't this causing trouble?

It was supposed to be fine. Why did this happen all of a sudden?!

What was worse was that gamers' interest in the smart fitness drying rack seemed to be increasing rapidly after it combined with the Fitness Battle.

Qiao Liang was not the first live streamer to introduce the smart fitness drying rack. This thing was about to become a trend. Many streamers and UP Masters were experiencing it!

The sales volume of the smart fitness drying rack was also rising rapidly.

It would not work even if Pei Qian wanted it to be sold slowly because there were too many stocks in the warehouse. Upwind Logistics would also distribute the stocks automatically. Pei Qian could not interfere.

The situation might change drastically after this weekend…

Pei Qian could not sit still.

"No, I have to do something."

"All the departments are off work now. It would be too late to organize another money-burning event."

"Are there any places that I can manipulate directly…"

Pei Qian thought hard for a long time and suddenly had an idea.

He had an idea!

He immediately opened the platform for the 515 Games Day event, and then used his highest authority to modify a few of the rewards.

The event for the 515 Games Day was divided into many parts. For example, there would be random rewards for epic items, gifts for rare skins, random waivers for purchasing games, random red packets for a certain period of time, and so on.

Some of the rewards were based on probability.

Take the random waiver for example. The probability was 5%. In other words, there would be a waiver in every 20 orders.

After some thought, Pei Qian decided to double the chances.

The initial 5% chance of getting a free pass had been changed to 10%. The probability of obtaining rare items, rare skins, and red packets had also increased.

That was because he only needed to change a few numbers. Thus, he did not need to trouble the employees of the relevant departments. He could do it himself very smoothly.

Pei Qian felt more at ease after changing it.

Give more money. I hope Tengda can finish burning the funds in its hands as soon as possible. Thank you!

What's more, probability was very difficult to verify for gamers. Even if they changed it, they might not be discovered. It was low-profile enough, and the risk was naturally reduced.

In short, do your best and leave it to fate!

The weekends were the peak period for gamers to be active. Once the probability was changed, the money given out by the 515 Games Day would definitely increase.

If the situation was optimistic, there was still hope of spending all the money!

Pei Qian did not think too much about it. He decided to wait until Monday to see the situation at the office before making plans.

…

…

May 21st, Monday…

Pei Qian scrolled through his cell phone as he worriedly walked to the office.

He was looking at the sales records of the smart fitness drying rack.

Obviously, the sales of the smart fitness drying rack had skyrocketed in the past two days!

On the other hand, the income from the Fitness Battle could not be underestimated.

The smart fitness drying rack itself was a hot topic. Many gamers had already recognized its fitness effect after it was paired with the Great Fitness. Coupled with the help of many streamers and UP Masters, the sales volume could be said to be rising steadily!

Previously, a large sum of money had been accumulated as storage. However, with the rapid sale of the smart fitness drying rack and the income from the Fitness Battle, they could naturally refund it quickly.

That was bad news for Pei Qian.

However, he wondered if he could spend more money on the 515 Game Festival after changing the probability.

The two employees could not help but mutter when they saw Boss Pei walk past them.

"Boss Pei doesn't look too good today."

"Don't you know? The rumors online are going crazy. They're saying that there might be a small problem with our company's cash flow."

"Huh? How can the cash flow problem be a small problem? It must be a big problem! The company might even be in danger! Hasn't our company been operating very well? All the games are making money. How did this happen?"

"It's a lot of money, but the expenses are also huge! Think about it, the screening for 'Mission and Choice' has been extended and we haven't received any remuneration. So many projects have to be spent on. In addition, the 515 Games Festival has given out so many benefits…"

"Where did this news come from? Is it accurate?"

"These are all business secrets. How can there be accurate news? However, looking at Boss Pei's expression, it's probably not far from the truth. What's more, did you notice that Assistant Xin has been visiting Boss Pei's office frequently recently? Obviously, there's something very important. Of course, it might not be as serious as we think. With Boss Pei's face, it should not be difficult to raise some funds to tide through the crisis, but it probably would not be that easy."

"Then… what can we do?"

"What else can we do other than to work hard?"

"Why don't we reduce our expenses? Previously, I came to the company to freeload. I drank coffee and ate snacks. Our company's snacks are expensive. Even the chocolates are of the highest quality. The ones I eat every day probably cost a hundred yuan. I've decided that I won't eat any snacks in the company in the future. I won't take a taxi to reimburse myself after work. I'll take the public bus!"

"Yes, that's true. It's not much money but it's still a small sum. It's a small token of our appreciation. I won't drink coffee in the future. I'll drink plain water and advocate a healthy life!"

"Does anyone from the other departments know?"

"They definitely know. I've already seen several internal groups discussing it. The key is that this matter is quite credible. It's better to believe it than not."

"The company is already in this state, but Boss Pei is not thinking about reducing our benefits and treatment. Instead, he's thinking about how to get through this difficult situation on his own. It's really touching…"

The two of them continued working seriously after whispering to each other for a while.

In the office, Assistant Xin knocked not long after Pei Qian sat down.

"Boss Pei, the probability of 515 gaming festivals… was modified by you?"

Pei Qian nodded. "Yes, I realized that the probability of the lucky draw is a little low and that it is not strong enough. That's why I changed it. What is the current situation with our funds?"

Assistant Xin answered truthfully. "At first, we could not hold on much longer. However, this weekend, the sales of the smart fitness drying rack suddenly increased. The revenue from Fitness Battle would be transferred to the account soon. Once this sum of money arrives, the situation of the funds would be greatly relieved!"

"However… The probability of the 515 Games Festival has been changed. Our estimated expenses have increased by more than 30%."

"In that case, with our current funds, it shouldn't be a problem for us to finish the 515 Game Festival. However, I'm afraid we won't have the energy to organize new activities after that."

"Of course, you have also achieved your goal of changing the probability. Now, there are already players on the internet who have discovered the change in probability. In addition to the previous lucky draw incident, the current trend on the internet is completely on our side."

Pei Qian's mood was like a roller coaster, fluctuating wildly with Assistant Xin's report.

Pei Qian had been quite happy when he heard that the cost of the 515 Game Contest had increased by more than 30%. However, his face fell when he heard the last paragraph.

What the hell?

Had he been discovered by the gamers?

What's more, the direction of the wind has completely turned towards us?

Do you gamers have to be so sharp?! The probability of changing over the weekend was discovered in just one or two days?

Pei Qian had thought that these gamers would not notice it until the end of the 515 Games Festival.

He sighed slightly.

Forget it, so be it. He had already spent the money anyway. The popularity and reputation created might be harmful to his losses in the long term, but he could not care so much.

All in all, he had spent most of his money. Could he sell buildings now?

He had bought so many buildings previously because he had no choice but to spend money quickly. Buying buildings might be able to spend money quickly, but it would also take up the System Funds' quota and affect the final loss.

Selling a building to continue burning money would reduce the obstacles during settlement.

Pei Qian said, "Go and release some news. Find a buyer and see which building is suitable."

"We might have to continue burning money after the 515 Games Festival. We have to ensure that we have sufficient funds."

"The villa in the nameless restaurant is definitely not for sale. It would be best if we sell the Sloth Apartments that were recently bought and not many people have checked in yet. Of course, the Sloth Apartments that we have been sold can also be considered for a complete transfer without affecting the interests of the tenants."

"You can decide how to arrange it."

Assistant Xin nodded. "Alright, Boss Pei. I'll report to you at any time."
