Chapter 281 Everything Was Under Boss Pei’s Control!

“What is going on? This doesn’t make sense!

“I hid it so well. How could they find it?

“Why is there such an idle player who would run around and try to open the Buddha statues? Why did he die six times at the ruined temple coincidentally?

“What the f*ck…?”

Pei Qian felt a little dizzy.

That was so hard to accept!

He was still in disbelief about how that player found Pudu. He felt that there was a conspiracy behind that.

However, the truth was right in front of his eyes; and he could only believe what he saw.

Anyways, the discovery of Pudu gave a light of hope to those players with terrible skills. Many of those originally considering a refund for the game decided not to do so after the discovery! Even the public opinion took a turn! Previously, many fake reviewers attacked the game on the grounds of the game’s difficulty.

The game was too difficult. Playing it was equivalent to tormenting oneself. The design team created the high difficulty to disgust the players. Therefore, the game was rubbish. Everyone should quickly opt for a refund.

However, that opinion was soon torn down by itself!

The design team was not deliberately disgusting the players. After all, didn’t they make a weapon especially for those players with terrible skills?

As long as they obtained the Pudu, the difficulty level of the game would drop drastically. Therefore, those players with terrible skills naturally had no reason to opt for a refund!

What they did made the design team appear to be very considerate to the players. It appeared as though they were sympathetic!

Pei Qian felt a little dizzy. What should he do now?

The problem was not only with the huge drop in the refund rate. Once the players with terrible skills persevered through the game and news about the weapon spread…

Pei Qian was sure that even those with terrible skills could pass the six realms of rebirth and existence with the Pudu. After all, he was also one of them.

“No. I have to quickly think of a solution…” Pei Qian could not sit around and do nothing. He thought for a while and decided to ask the fake reviewers for help!

Of course, what he would be doing this time would definitely be different from the previous two times.

Shenzhen…

Hu Xiao was killing the monsters happily using the Pudu. “Who told you to kill me back then?! “I’ll let you experience how the Pudu feels like!

“Are you a f*cking elite monster? Get down on the floor!”

Hu Xiao was enjoying the game.

After obtaining the Pudu, he finally had a smooth gaming experience in the game!

Hu Xiao was very easily satisfied. He did not rush to fight the monsters at the later stages of the game. He killed the small monsters that tormented him earlier repeatedly and collected the three immortal souls and seven mortal forms for upgrading.

He could actually find joy in the game despite how terrible his skills were. He had not expected that.

After playing for a while, Hu Xiao closed the game. He was satisfied with the gaming experience. He wanted to open the forum to check for any new discussions regarding Repent and be Saved.

He found that he liked to read the Repent and be Saved forum more and more. He found it to be very interesting!

Not only was it interesting to see the players bickering with one another in the forum, but there would also be some players searching for hidden content in the games. That was very interesting

For example, the information in the forum regarding the hidden weapon Pudu was shared by one of the players.

ds

While he was looking through the forum, Shaohu Reviews received another message from Hardcore Reviews.

“Get more fake reviewers.”

Hu Xiao’s eyes lit up. He replied hurriedly, “Okay, no problem!”

This was the third time this guy paid for fake reviewers. He was straight to the point, and he made his payment quickly.

Although Hu Xiao spent a hundred yuan and purchased the game with his own money, the misunderstanding was cleared.

Hardcore Reviews typed, “The request this time is slightly different from the previous two times. I found that the discussion recently is very one-sided. I need you to think of a way to create more debate regarding the game. Do you understand what I’m trying to say?”

Hu Xiao replied swiftly, “Yes. No problem!”

Pei Qian heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, the fake reviewers were very professional. They would just do as he asked without questioning him.

Recently, the discussions regarding Repent and be Saved has indeed been one-sided.

After the discovery of Pudu, players with terrible skills had fewer complaints about the game. That resulted in a decrease in debates regarding the game.

The fake reviewers who criticized the game lost their ‘weapon’ in the public opinion battle. Many of them chose to switch to the other side. To complete their task, many of them chose to praise everything about the game mindlessly.

If that situation continued, the reputation of the game would quickly be turned around.

Therefore, the most important thing now was to ensure that everyone was arguing with one another. Those fake reviewers who criticized the game must not give up. If they gave up, Boss Pei would not be far from giving up as well!

This time, Pei Qian managed to trick the system perfectly once again.

If his request was to let the fake reviewers criticize Repent and be Saved, that would not be feasible. The system would not allow that to happen. However, if his request was to create more debate about Repent and be Saved, there would not be any problems.

After all, in the system’s perspective, that was considered buying popularity for the game, wasn’t it?

Currently, those praising Repent and be Saved were gaining the upper hand. That request would now refer to supporting the haters.

The plan was feasible! The fake reviewers had to criticize the game with everything that they had! Pei Qian wanted everyone to opt for a refund because of that!

Pei Qian refreshed the forum page and Weibo as he waited for the fake reviewers to take action.

On the other side, Hu Xiao agreed to take the job readily. However, after he disseminated the tasks in the group chat, he faced some problems.

The customer’s request was to make sure that the public opinion about Repent and be Saved was not one-sided. The customer wanted them to create more debates regarding the game.

However, the current situation was that the haters were struggling to maintain their presence. That meant that the customer’s request was for the fake reviewers to help the haters to gain more influence. That would then stabilize the situation again!

However, how were they going to do that?

The main point that the haters emphasized previously was the difficulty level of the game. However, after the appearance of Pudu, that problem no longer existed. It would be too obvious if they were to throw shade mindlessly, wouldn’t it? Furthermore, the results would not be satisfactory in that case.

Hu Xiao stated the request in the group chat and asked the professional fake reviewers to find a solution.

As the saying went, rewards allure men to brave dangers. As long as he paid them enough money, there would definitely be someone who managed to find a reason to criticize the game. Once the fake reviewers heard that there was money for the task, they started racking their brains to find reasons to criticize the game.

“How about we criticize the game for misinterpreting traditional cultures?”

“Or perhaps we can criticize the game’s story plot for being too simple?”

“We can criticize it for buying fake reviews!”

Everyone had a different idea, and yet they did not manage to come up with a good plan. Those ideas were way too boring. They were only criticizing the game mindlessly! Of course, they could also choose to criticize the game mindlessly. However, if they do that, they would not be able to create enough debates regarding the game. They might not be able to achieve the customer’s request. In other words—by doing so, they were achieving half the impact with twice the effort. They could be wasting their energy on that.

If the game itself had quality problems, there was a lot they could criticize. For example, they could label the game as a low-quality production, or that the game was cheating the consumers, or that the game was making use of the gamers’ vision for domestically-produced games.

However, there were no problems with the quality of the game. It was very well-produced!

If they used those reasons, they would not be able to convince the public and might even result in a reverse effect. Doing so might persuade more people to support Repent and be Saved.

Moreover, many fake reviewers did not have in-depth knowledge about the game. They chose to ask for a refund after playing for a few minutes and realizing that their computer configurations were not enough to run the game smoothly. How could they find a more advanced reason to criticize the game?

Therefore, after a long discussion, no one could think of a good idea to proceed with.

The situation became stagnant.

In the end, Hu Xiao had no choice but to type, “Do not worry, guys. Let’s post a few mindless criticizing posts first to maintain the popularity of the debate. The others could take the time to find a more advanced reason to criticize the game in the meanwhile.

“We are professional fake reviewers. We must give it our all and complete the task that our customer assigned to us!

“This is a long-term task. Everyone can check the forums and read the content that other players posted. Once you discover anything, remember to report about it in this group chat immediately!’

October 6th…

Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd…

Li Yada looked at the sales records of the game and the game’s reputation amongst the players on the forums and on the internet. Her eyes underneath the thick-framed glasses creased into the shape of two crescent moons.

As expected, everything was under Boss Pei’s control!

She was initially worried that the app store would take down Repent and be Saved, and yet it turned out that she was worrying unnecessarily.

During this period, the company did not send them a warning letter and did not even take down the home page recommendation spot that the game had. Their stance was apparent. They were supporting Tengda all the way!

Moreover, everything was going as Boss Pei had expected. Things were taking a turn for the better.

Li Yada knew of Pudu’s existence from the start. She was initially worried that the weapon was too deeply hidden and that it would not be discovered by the players months into the game.

In the end, the players had discovered it within one week!

On one hand, it showed that the capabilities of the players were unimaginable. On the other hand, it also proved that Boss Pei’s ability to understand the players’ thoughts and behaviors was top-notch.

Why did Boss Pei create a hidden weapon? He definitely wanted the players to find it.

The players did not let Boss Pei down. They managed to find it very quickly. That proved that Boss Pei and the players’ minds were on the same frequency! Moreover, after the discovery of Pudu, the game’s reputation took a drastic turn as well. The refund rate declined dramatically Everything was getting better!

What was even more miraculous was that many players on the forum were behaving in a completely different way as before. There were almost no complaints about the game’s difficulty anymore!

Li Yada knew clearly that even with the Pudu, the game was still much tougher than other games in the market, especially so for ordinary players and those with terrible gaming skills.

The only change was that the difficulty level dropped from the ‘hell’ level to the ‘difficult’ level.

However, the players were not complaining about that!

A reason was because of Boss Pei’s precise understanding of players’ mindset.

They started off with an extremely high difficulty level and tormented the players with it. When the players were almost giving up, they allowed the players to discover the Pudu. That decreased the difficulty of the game drastically.

The sudden drop in difficulty level would bring huge happiness to the players. Therefore, even if the game was still considerably difficult, the gaming experience for the players experienced a drastic improvement. Even those with terrible skills could continue playing the game!

There was still a considerable level of difficulty and challenge with the game. However, the players were not as impulsive as they were before and did not threaten to get a refund anymore. It was simply a perfect solution to both Tengda and the players!

Li Yada could not help but feel a little sentimental. So that was how Lu Mingliang felt.

He was merely relying on Boss Pei for the victory!

Boss Pei was extremely gifted and had everything well in hand. Every simple change that he made would be finishing touches on the game. The employees were extremely blessed to have him around.

It was almost ascertained that the game would achieve success. Li Yada was very delighted about that.

“I need to keep up the good work. I can start planning the updates for the new versions now!” Li Yada pushed her thick-framed glasses upwards and buried herself into her work once again.
