Losing Money to Be a Chapter 115 - A Very Unhappy Teacher Qiao

Chapter 115: A Very Unhappy Teacher Qiao

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Teacher Qiao’s fans were all stunned; they couldn’t believe this video! However, they had no choice but to accept; they could not find Teacher Qiao anymore.

They couldn’t tag Teacher Qiao in their fans’ chatting platforms while Teacher Qiao did not reply to any private ssages. The individuals who managed Teacher Qiao and had his number tried to call it but realized the call could not be connected.

Evidently, this was akin to beating a fast retreat and becoming a scaredy-cat.

All the fans were flummoxed to the point of anger, from anger to disappointnt, and from disappointnt to becoming calm again… where they suddenly beca quiet. Teacher Qiao’s bizarre act was indeed worth praising; it had given this April’s Fools Day an additional color.

However, everyone soon realized that this wasn’t the end!

On the various established video websites, many content creators all started to do recomndation videos for Ga Designer! Furthermore, these videos were rather disgusting. There was a difference in them. However, this difference was only restricted to the caption of the video, the editing technique, and artistic resources used… as well as the content creator’s voice.

All the videos’ wording was the sa: it was a mixture of Chinese and English; even slurping and gulping sounds could be heard!

All the fans who watched these videos broke down.

What the heck was this?!

Although these were content creators with a certain amount of influence, they had actually traversed gaming, otomad, lifestyle, digital, technological; all various areas. It covered a huge array of aspects. Furthermore, their captions were all different; one might accidentally click on one of these videos!

Once players clicked and saw the familiar starting picture, their hearts would instantly skip a beat, having a premonition about what was going to happen.

Indeed, after each content creator’s standard opening line, the sponsored partnership advertisent would start in-your-face!

“Its na is Ga Designer. G-A-M-E, ga, ga designer!”

“Aweso1!”

After seeing two or three consecutive videos of the sa thing, many people realized that they had been brainwashed. Their brains were filled with ‘Uh-oh, aweso, slurp, gulp’…

All these content creators also—without exception—chose to disappear imdiately and act dead. Of course, they would! Once this video was out—knowing that they were going to be scolded bloody, who dared to stand out and withstand the fury of their fans?

They could only let their fans vent in the comnts section and wait for things to subside; they would then act as if nothing had happened.

Indeed, just as Pei Qian had predicted, all these sponsored partnership videos had been criticized badly!

All these sponsored partnerships had very low viewership while the comnts sections could not be looked at. Once many people clicked into the advertisents and saw how badly things were going in the comnts section, they would not bother to watch it anymore!

…

In the office…

Pei Qian was scrolling through the sponsored partnerships videos as he checked on the response from viewers and viewership.

En, everything was according to his plan!

He had spent so much money finding so many content creators. These advertising videos had been cast aside by the viewers, and viewership couldn’t increase by much. It didn’t even achieve any positive publicity at all.

This was great!

Restricting the content of what all these creators could say had been a good idea! Pei Qian knew that all these content creators were very talented. If he allowed them to use their brain juices freely, what would happen if another The Lonely Desert Road success ca along?

Hence, he had decided that everyone would use the sa script; he was not going to let them bring any positive feelings to gars. Pei Qian was very pleased; half of his plan was already a success!

Next would be to see the response from gars!

…

In a rented apartnt…

Qiao Liang lay on his bed as he looked at the tens of missed calls on his cell phone; he felt a little lost, and that life held no aning. Ah, it was indeed hard to make black-hearted?money1!

He didn’t even dare to open his fans chatting platform. Even if he used his legs to think, he knew what the situation would be like in them. The more he thought about it, the more he felt he had suffered a loss and the angrier he beca.

Ah! He regretted it so badly!

Ten thousand yuan was indeed a very generous offer; it had actually blinded him. He had thought that earning this ten thousand yuan from a sponsored video would make himself happy. However, after Qiao Liang lay in bed for a long ti, he did not feel that way at all.

Even when he played gas, those felt aningless; also, cup noodles no longer slled that good.

Could this be… the unsettling feeling from taking on this lousy job just for commission?

After considering it for a long while, Qiao Liang got up from his bed as he switched on his computer and downloaded Ga Designer.

“I need to know clearly today what I have done! My reputation as Teacher Qiao has been ruined; I need to at least know clearly who the murderer was, right?”

He spent twenty-eight yuan and bought Ga Designer. Although he had accepted Ga Designer’s beautiful artistic style and material, Tengda had never sent out this ga’s demo.

Pei Qian did not want to send the demo to the content creators.

He had already written the script for the video; as long as the content creators had a few pictures and clips, they could more or less piece together a video. Why did they need a demo?

If they gave a demo and started to play the ga themselves, it would be very awkward if they used their superior editing techniques to dilute the ‘sponsored partnerships’ feeling of the videos!

Hence, Teacher Qiao actually didn’t know himself what the ga was like. With a burning desire to find out, Teacher Qiao entered the ga and started to play it.

…

…

As it was his first ti entering the ga, he had not entered the main selection page but had imdiately entered the ga itself. Rather surprisingly, before the ga had even appeared on the screen, a voice-over had rung out first.

“This is a story about a ga designer. You are an up-and-coming ga designer; you have the ambition of rescuing the dostic ga industry.

“Your tasks are simple: rack your brains to think of an idea, make it into a ga that would stun layn, and be the envy of your peers in the industry—a ga that would be praised by the dia and which sales would skyrocket. You would then use your earnings to develop the next ga; this will be the cycle.

“Until you beco a star ga designer—a publicly funded star, winning Best Ga of the Year awards year after year, becoming the cover of Tis weekly magazine, and making your company have a market valuation of one hundred billion… reaching the pinnacle of human life.

“Alright, wipe away your drool first, please.

“These are very distant dreams for you.

“Now, you only have one objective: to successfully create a ga that could survive in this harsh market.”

Accompanying this voice-over, the ga scenes also changed.

This was a first-person ga. While the voice-over narrated, the player would also start to advance along a corridor.

When it ca to the ‘stun layn, and be the envy of your peers in the industry—a ga that would be praised by the dia and which sales would skyrocket’ part—along the corridor, passionate fans would appear, envious ga design masters would look on during an award ceremony, and news reports of record-breaking sales would be shown.

All these scenes looked like sketches… or perhaps they were more like pages in a 3D book that were turning as the voice-over revealed sothing new. While walking along this corridor, one felt as if he was really occupying that space. At tis, one would be surrounded by passionate fans while, at other tis, one seed to be accosted by reported clicking away.

However, Qiao Liang ultimately still felt as if he wasn’t completely imrsed in the ga. He felt a little surprised.

The information that he had received regarding this ga and what he was supposed to create had not ntioned the voice-over at all. Furthermore, the movents in the ga couldn’t be controlled by the player; and it looked rather confusing.

However, after playing the ga itself, it felt completely different.

The first-person perspective, as well as the independence to explore, had given players a good sense of imrsion and an adventurous feel. The sketches that surface also excellently made one feel as if he was really in that space.

On the other hand, this voice-over was also very unique. This was a very special male voice that was slightly screechy, and his voice was nasal and thin. It also had a tinge of huskiness to it.

If Qiao Liang listened intently, he might feel a little vexed and an urge to hit that person. However, if he didn’t mind it that much, he might actually easily ignore and neglect this voice and just solely focus on the words the voice-over was saying.

Combining both a sense of imrsion and distance to the ga, a very distinct gaming experience had been produced. One could be brought right into the ga and experience the joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness of being a ga designer—to be elated by players’ cheers and happiness while feeling pleased by the dia’s praise.

On the other hand, one was also kept in an objective, calm, and being monitored-by-a-higher-power state.

This experience was very rare. As much as Qiao Liang had played many standalone gas before, this was his first ti trying sothing like this.

“This is strange; why does this ga… seem not bad?”

Qiao Liang was more and more certain that Boss Pei was doing this out of revenge; he bore a grudge! This ga… if it was publicized normally, a high-quality sponsored partnership video could be made with no issues whatsoever.

Why had Boss Pei asked him to do that sort of video?

If he doesn’t have beef with , then what?!

Feeling a little curious and rather unhappy, Qiao Liang continued to play the ga.
