990 Tell Teacher Qiao The Truth With Facts

Pei Qian had racked his brains to come up with these ideas.

He could let the fake reviewers do whatever they wanted if he wanted to save trouble. However, he did not trust their professionalism at all.

Wouldn't it be counterproductive if he made it too obvious and was discovered?

It was a good thing that after such a long period of systematic learning, Pei Qian had a certain level of professional knowledge in the game. That was why he could write these contents

as a guide for the fake reviewers.

That should be able to create a realistic effect so that most people would not be able to see any signs of fake reviewers.

Hu Xiao did not ask further. It would be much more convenient for the fake reviewers to do their work with this. He could not be happier.

"Alright, it's decided then. I'll assign them tasks and let them work!"

Hu Xiao received another message just as he was about to make arrangements.

"Wait a minute, we've worked together so many times. Can you give us a discount?"

Hu Xiao was stunned.

Discount?

This did not seem to be the boss's style.

In the past, this big boss always gave people the feeling that he was rich and had never bargained. Why was he taking the initiative to ask for a discount this time?

Could it be that the person behind this account had changed?

It was not impossible. There might be several people managing such official accounts at the same time. The previous person-in-charge might have left his job. It was understandable that someone else would be more meticulous when coming up.

Hu Xiao did not think too much about it. "Alright, we've been working together for a long time. I'll give you a 20% discount this time!"

Pei Qian: "Alright, thank you."

Hu Xiao was stunned for a moment. Why was this big boss so polite today? Has he really changed?

He quickly replied, "You're welcome, that's what I should do!"

Pei Qian felt much better after seeing the word '20% discount'.

He had no choice. He could not ask the system for reimbursement for hiring fake reviewers this time. He could only pay out of his own pocket. Every cent he saved was a cent.

He had to spend carefully.

The battle this time was focused on Teacher Qiao's video comments. Thus, the fake reviewers should be able to see the results faster.

Pei Qian waited patiently.

…

Qiao Liang woke up during dinner time.

Previously, he had stayed up too late because of the liver video and had not had enough sleep. He finally regained his energy now, after catching up on his sleep.

Fish-Catching Take-Out had arrived on time. Qiao Liang opened the exquisite lunchbox and took out the various dishes inside. Then, he opened his video on his cell phone to check the audience's reaction.

It was easier to eat while watching videos.

However, after casually flipping through the comments below the video, Qiao Liang could not help but be stunned. His hand, which was holding his chopsticks, stopped.

"What just happened?"

Qiao Liang was confused.

Ten minutes after the video was released, he had seen some comments. The audience seemed to be quite satisfied with the video.

Why did the comments section change so drastically after a few hours?

The entire comments section was filled with all sorts of doubts. The two groups of people were arguing non-stop.

A portion of the audience was on Qiao Liang's side. They were basically defending the views in the video. The other portion of the audience seemed to be singing the opposite tune.

Many people commented that 'Mission and Choice' was not a 'milestone' at all. It had nothing to do with the 'industrialization model'. These were concepts that Qiao Liang had created in order to exaggerate the meaning of 'Mission and Choice'. It was not practical and was not desirable.

The likes of these comments were not low. They had developed into a force that could not be ignored.

In fact, these comments were not only caused by fake reviewers. There were also some real audience and players mixed in. They were affected by the views of these fake reviewers and were coerced by the opinions of fake reviewers.

This was very normal because humans were creatures that were very easily affected. Comments and bullet screen comments were like a 'magnifier' most of the time, greatly affecting the judgment of individuals.

For example, a certain someone had originally thought that a certain movie was not bad, but when everyone around him said that it was a lousy movie, he would subconsciously lower his evaluation of this movie. He would even change his mind and think that this movie was a lousy movie. He would continue to spread this concept to the surroundings.

The problems that did not exist in many people's hearts would slowly become real if people around them emphasized it too much.

What happened in this video was the same. At first, many viewers did not think that Teacher Qiao's words were inappropriate. However, many fake reviewers added fuel to the fire in the comments section and praised each other. When the likes were counted, it became a "majority opinion" and affected those who originally thought that there was nothing wrong.

Of course, many people still insisted on their own views. Thus, there was an intense argument between the two parties.

Neither of them could convince the other, because the topic of their argument was difficult to verify.

Whether it was a "milestone" or whether it was a "industrialization model" was actually a matter of benevolence and wisdom. No matter which side they supported, they could actually find a lot of arguments. It would often become talking to themselves and attacking each other in the process of arguing online. Therefore, the comments section was filled with smoke and no one could convince anyone.

Of course, the fake reviewers were happy to see this because their job was to muddy the waters and mislead more viewers.

Therefore, the more such a situation occurred, the more outstanding their work was. These people would naturally work harder.

Qiao Liang could not help but frown.

"These people actually doubt my professionalism?"

"How ridiculous!"

"I've studied the history of domestically-produced games and understood so many game design concepts. My interpretation of 'Mission and Choice' is very objective and responsible."

"Why do these people make it sound like I'm grandstanding?"

Qiao Liang lost his appetite after two bites. He was full of anger!

He was not angry for himself, but for Boss Pei!

As an ordinary content creator, Qiao Liang paid attention to the number of views and coins invested in the video. If two groups of people quarreled, it would mean that his video would be controversial but it would also increase its popularity.

Thus, from the perspective of a video creator, there was no need for Qiao Liang to be angry.

However, from Boss Pei's perspective, this was unacceptable!

Boss Pei had invested a huge sum of money into the remake of Mission and Choice. He had to endure how much pressure and harboured how much ambition!

As a successful game designer, Boss Pei did not lack money or fame. He could choose more successful games to earn more money steadily.

Yet, Boss Pei had still invested a huge sum of money to wash away the 'shame of the nation'. That was fearless heroism!

As domestic gamers, even if they did not like Tengda's games, they should at least maintain basic respect, right?

Yet, Boss Pei's actions were not understood by these people. How sad was that!

Qiao Liang felt that as a content creator, he could not speak for himself, but he had to speak for Boss Pei!

He could not let heroes shed blood and sweat!

Then… What should he do?

Qiao Liang knew very well that it was meaningless to clarify and debate now. It was equivalent to repeating what he had said.

He needed more convincing evidence, such as… the views of certain industry insiders and even Tengda insiders!

"It would be best if Boss Pei personally expressed his stance, but…"

"Boss Pei would definitely not agree."

"That's because Boss Pei has always had the character of 'everyone will laugh it off if they criticize me'. He doesn't care about the attacks and slander from the outside world. He would definitely not speak up for something like that."

"We can only settle for the next best thing and look for the person-in-charge of this project."

"Yes, ask around."

Qiao Liang did not know who was in charge of the development of 'Mission and Choice'. Logically speaking, it should be Hu Xianbin from the games department. However, it was very likely that someone else was involved in such a huge project.

It did not matter even if he was not sure. Qiao Liang was good friends with many Tengda employees. He would know after asking around.

…

…

April 17th, Tuesday…

The moment Pei Qian woke up, he took his cell phone and checked the comments section of Products of the Gods.

Then, a smile appeared on his face.

"Yes, very good. The money was not wasted!"

Even though he had a 20% discount, he had bought high-quality fake reviewers after all. Pei Qian had spent tens of thousands of yuan on his bank account, but the effect was immediate.

The direction of the comments section had obviously changed!

Questioning "Mission and Choice" was not worthy of the "milestone" and "industrialization model". The voices gradually became louder. Even though it was not mainstream, it could at least compete with the voices of praise.

It was impossible to gain full control of the situation. Qiao Liang had many fans after all. More people meant more power. It would be a daydream to think that the fake reviewers that he had spent tens of thousands of yuan on would be able to suppress all these voices.

However, Pei Qian was quite satisfied to be able to do this.

The key was to mislead the ignorant audience.

Many people did not have a clear mind when they watched the video. They felt that what Qiao Liang said made sense after watching it. They also felt that the opinions of the comments below made sense.

Pei Qian could minimize his losses as long as the audience wavered between the two views and held back.

Pei Qian was browsing through the comments when he suddenly received a call from Huang Sibo.

"Hm?"

"Why is Huang Sibo calling?"

"Could it be some good news from the movie?"

"That's not right. It's only been a week since it was released. I saw the box office two days ago. It's not very high. There's no need to report the good news, right?"

Pei Qian had been paying attention to the box office of Mission and Choice for the past two days. Even though the box office figures were not bad, it was still far from making a huge profit.

That was because there was less publicity for the movie before it was released. The screening rate was also not high. Even though the attendance rate was very high, it was not enough for an explosive increase in the box office in just two or three days.

Puzzled, Pei Qian picked up the phone.

"Boss Pei, I have something to ask you."

"Qiao Liang said that he wanted to ask me a few questions about Mission and Choice. He said that it had something to do with his new video."

"This shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Pei Qian was stunned.

Eh?

Qiao Liang wanted to interview Huang Sibo?

Pei Qian was very smart and immediately understood Qiao Liang's intentions.

Obviously, Qiao Liang wanted Huang Sibo to help promote his video! He wanted to use Huang Sibo's words to find evidence to prove that he was right!

Pei Qian subconsciously wanted to reject it, but on second thought, the corners of his mouth curled upwards.

Qiao Liang, oh, Qiao Liang, didn't you run into a bullet yourself?

You would never have thought that no one had mentioned the so-called "industrialization model" from the founding project to the development and sale of Mission and Choice, right?

This interview was obviously an official slap in the face!

Pei Qian immediately said, "No problem, just accept it."

"However…"

"You have to be honest when you answer questions. Say whatever you have to say, understand?"

Qiao Liang would understand that Mission and Choice had nothing to do with the so-called "industrialization model" as long as he spoke truthfully. Tengda's development process had never changed.

Wouldn't it be a perfect ending?

Huang Sibo: "Alright, Boss Pei, I understand!"
