Losing Money to Be a Chapter 448 - The Savior Has Arrived!

Chapter 448 The Savior Has Arrived!

“AH!”

Qiao Liang was taken aback. His eyes involuntarily looked at the black clothes that suddenly appeared but at the sa ti, the entire mirror broke with a loud bam—!

Qiao Liang was really scared this ti. He even leaned back involuntarily and almost toppled onto the bed behind him with the chair.

The mirror inside was already broken when he looked at the screen again, revealing the darkness behind the mirror.

A line of numbers in bright blood-red appeared in the right corner. 10:00.

This line of words quickly beca 9:59, which seed to indicate that the ga could only be played again in another 10 minutes.

Qiao Liang was slightly shocked, but he cald down in no ti.

“It seed like this step is purely to test the psychological quality of a person. You must start at the center of the mirror without drifting away. Otherwise, you’ll fail imdiately...

“Alright, I’ll train hard now and try to succeed in one shot 10 minutes later!”

Qiao Liang was full of motivation at that instant. He realized that all puzzles set by Boss Pei should be successfully solved as long as he passed this test!

One hour later...

Qiao Liang stared at himself in the mirror, and a bloody ghost floating in the air had stretched out its bloody hand and was about to touch his neck...

Qiao Liang felt his heart thumping very loudly, but he still gritted his teeth and stared at his eyes in the mirror, using his will to force his eyes to remain motionless.

That terrifying ghost, which was always wandering around the mirror, was constantly using all sorts of ways to attract Qiao Liang’s attention.

Finally, it seed to have completely lost his patience, ca to the center of the screen, opened its huge mouth, and let out a shriek towards Qiao Liang!

Qiao Liang was pretty smart, he did not turn on the sound of the speaker so he could not hear the sound. However, the scene that appeared in front of him was enough to make his heart race like crazy!

However, a whirlpool suddenly appeared in the mirror, sucking the ghost in!

This ghost seed to be constantly struggling. However, there was no avail as it quickly disappeared in the mirror.

A line of bloody words appeared in the mirror. “Congratulations, the first guest of Thriller Hostel!”

He clicked randomly with his mouse and exited this program. The invalid buy button lit up on the ‘Be Quiet’ page which ant that Qiao Liang could finally spend money buying the ga!

Qiao Liang was so moved that he was nearly in tears.

That was tough! How could it be so tough to buy a ga in this era?!

However, that was all worth it since he was the first player of Be Quiet!

“I have to share this news imdiately with others!”

Qiao Liang opened his fan group and shared the solution to the last puzzle excitedly with his fans.

At the sa ti, Pei Qian spat out two words slowly after sitting in the office for so ti.

“The f*ck...”

A chill ran down Pei Qian’s back seeing the eye-catching number ‘1’ on the backend of the Be Quiet purchase counter. It was still solved in the end. A puzzle he thought could last for one month only lasted until the 11th! Not even half a month!

“Sigh, my previous estimate was still too optimistic. It is really impossible to trap players for a month with a puzzle of this difficulty. However, that did not an there was no use at all. It’s still alright.”

Pei Qian knew very well that this puzzle had been completely solved since the first buyer showed up. As long as this person shared his experience, more people would be able to receive the invitation and purchase.

However, even so, there were still barriers to purchase!

Pei Qian set the price of The Lonely Desert Road and Ga Designer as free and then silently followed the changes in sales. His mode of operating was the most optimal under the strict restrictions of the system.

In layman’s terms, the difficulty in solving puzzles and the restrictions of everyone buying the ga was different.

Finding clues, solving puzzles, etc., involved the players. Once soone solved the puzzle, everyone could continue to study the next step. The difficulty would naturally be set higher.

The ga itself would have a purchase threshold even after knowing and understanding how to solve the puzzle.

The players must drive a car in The Lonely Desert Road for a while, personally reach the ‘Ga Designer’ ending in Ga Designer, then go to the TPDb website to search for “Thriller Hostel’, enter one’s own account password, enter the dynamic code into the bloody handprint of the ga, complete the eye-tracking mirror challenge before one could purchase the ga.

That was the highest threshold allowed by the system and could not be higher.

Of course, Pei Qian had nothing to be dissatisfied with. This threshold could help him to screen out nurous players.

There was also Pei Qian’s attempt to make The Lonely Desert Road and Ga Designer free. It seed to be creating convenience for the players, but in fact, it was to make less money.

Pei Qian found that the system allowed the gas to be completely free, but the requirents were more demanding.

It had to be a standalone ga.

It must have been officially on sale for more than 10 months.

The revenue from last month must have fallen to one-fifth of the revenue when the ga first went on sale.

The system would only allow the ga to be free based on these three conditions. The Lonely Desert Road and Ga Designer happened to et this condition so Pei Qian was able to make them free.

He did not even need to consider web gas like the Ocean Stronghold.

Repent and be Saved had been released for 10 months, but it was very difficult for its monthly revenue to drop to one-fifth of its starting revenue. This ga was more durable, and there seed to be an endless stream of newcor players interested in masochism.

In short, the puzzle might be solved, but the purchase threshold was still there. It could help Pei Qian make a lot less money, at least in this settlent cycle.

Pei Qian turned off the platform and thought so ti about the sales volu growth and what counterasures to be taken.

The most important thing right now was...

He would first take a look at the pre-sales situation of the OTTO E1 cell phone before sending money to Lu Mingliang and Chang You!

Two days had passed from the opening of reservations on Thursday. The reservation for OTTO E1 cell phones increased to 4,728. It might still be increasing, but it has been extrely slow.

Pei Qian was very happy that the situation was not that much different from what he had previously estimated to be. The number would be capped at 5,000 by the ti they had reached Sunday. It was absolutely impossible to go any higher.

Pei Qian decided to give 5 million yuan to Lu Mingliang to open up more Upwind Courier stations in Lincheng and the remaining 20 million yuan to Chang You to let him stock another 5,000 units from the original 4,000 units.

If the 5,000 cell phones could be sold, the remaining money would be used to stock up. There would then be a backlog of about 13,000 cell phones in the warehouse.

This money would then be staying happily in the warehouse until the next settlent cycle. Perfect!

Pei Qian leaned on the chair and let Assistant Xin arrange everything. He could finally rest a little. He turned on the computer and casually looked at the comnts of the netizens towards Be Quiet and the OTTO E1 phone.

The solution to the puzzle had been completely revealed. Posts on how to purchase the ga had been spread everywhere. However, there was a clear polarization between players’ comnts. There were even quarrels online.

“Crazy, you can’t even buy the ga even if you solve the puzzles. Why did you have to make such a complicated pre-step? Are they crazy?”

“That is, that you even have to bear the brunt of the producers’ emotions even though you are paying for the ga! Tengda Gas is really aweso, ah? They don’t even give any face!”

“I still don’t quite understand what the purpose of this ARG[1] is. I purely wanted to experience the ga, no in solving the puzzle!”

“That’s right, I definitely won’t buy it. I’ll just sit here and wait for this ga to fail!”

“...who do you think you are? Do you think Tengda cares about this? They started this ARG and set the purchase threshold to screen out no-brainers like you.”

“You can go and play a no-brainer shooting ga like Ocean Stronghold. It’s not like Tengda Gas doesn’t have any other gas that do not suit you.”

“This ARG is very interesting. I might not be able to solve it, but I’m so excited about watching the big boss solve them online every

day!”

“This ARG, as well as the last step with the eye-tracking ga, really amazed . I feel that it’s really worth it! This is equivalent to a large-scale, multiplayer free brain-burning ga. It’s equivalent to buy-one-get-free for the Be Quiet ga. What’s not enough?

“Moreover, Tengda made The Lonely Desert Road and Ga Designer free, they have a conscience!”

People on both sides argued hard.

Pei Qian was not interested in the content of their argunt. He only cared about how many people were dissatisfied with the ga Be Quiet, which could reduce the ga’s revenue this month.

He then saw what the netizens said about the OTTO E1 phone. They were basically in a polarized state as well. However, the people who supported this phone were obviously in a weak position.

The reason was simple, there were too few quantities sold!

Only about 3,000 units of this phone had been sold so far. Even if they were satisfied with the cell phone, there were only 3,000 users. So of them might not even discuss this online.

A larger proportion of users were actually questioning the brand, quality control, stocks, etc. Many believed that this cell phone was made by speculation and whether the specific value was worth buying or not.

Pei Qian was very satisfied with this. You just wait and see, you have to insist on your own judgnt and don’t buy it!

Finally, Pei Qian took out his cell phone and glanced at Gou Yan.

On the 18th day of Tomorrow is Beautiful with a box office of 4.184 million yuan today and an estimated box office of 225 million

yuan!

Tomorrow is Beautiful ranked second in the box office. The first place was given to the dostic film that was released just two days ago.

Pei Qian held his forehead with this hand, his face full of pain.

Why did the estimated box office increase significantly?! That ant that the stamina of the movie was very strong. People probably went to watch it twice or thrice.This was very bad news for Pei Qian. Pei Qian would earn a few million yuan more if the box office of this movie improved even a little.

What evil!

Pei Qian swiped to the right subconsciously, wanting to view the lineup tomorrow.

However, under the presale column, Tomorrow is Beautiful which originally occupied the second place, directly squeezed to the third place. The first place was an upcoming Arican blockbuster!

Pei Qian’s eyes lit up.

My savior!

Great, the box office would definitely not reach 225 million yuan! Bro, why didn’t you release half a month earlier?

[1] ‘ARG’ stands for Alternate Reality Ga, a ga that makes use of the real world as a platform to be altered by the player’s choices.
