Weibo Q&A was a feature that Weibo introduced last year. Anyone could pay a fee to ask a Weibo blogger to answer their question.
However, it wasn't guaranteed how much they would have to pay, or if they would get a satisfactory answer.
The rules of the question were that the questioner had to ask the blogger for a price between 1 to 9999 RMB. If the blogger didn't answer, the money would be returned. If they answered, they would get the money. The answers would be permanently saved on Weibo for others to view.
Later on, people who wanted to listen to the question only had to pay one RMB.
Of course, the entire process would deduct ten percent of the service fee, and the subsequent fees would be split between the blogger and the questioner.
There was once a person who spent three thousand RMB to ask a question, and the blogger did his best to answer it. The answer received over eight thousand views, meaning that not only did the questioner not lose money, he even made some money.
The highest price for this Q&A was 9999 RMB. There were some questions that reached this price, but most of them were used by insiders as a gimmick. In reality, there weren't many people using this feature, most of them just wanted to watch.
Asking Chen Mo a question on Weibo was also an option, but many players didn't support this idea.
"Bro, how much are you going to pay for Chen Mo to answer your question? He'll throw you twice as much, okay? "
"Yeah, Chen Mo is so rich, do you think he'll be short of money?"
"What if Chen Mo is bullshitting? Wouldn't the money be wasted? There are a lot of people using this method to scam money on this Q&A. "
However, there were people who thought it was a good idea.
"I don't think so. If answering a question could earn him a few thousand RMB, would Chen Mo go against money? Moreover, Chen Mo was going to interact with the players on Weibo anyway. Wouldn't it be great if he could earn money at the same time? "
"Chen Mo isn't an idiot. What's the harm in earning a few thousand RMB just by talking? I think the rich players can give it a try. "
This post quickly attracted a lot of attention, and there were quite a few rich players who wanted to give it a try.
After all, Thunderbolt Entertainment was one of the top video game companies in China. They had a large number of players in China, and many of them were rich players.
In the end, a rich person really did ask Chen Mo on Weibo, and the price was the highest, 9999 RMB!
The question was, "Chen Mo, what's your next game?"
While everyone was thinking about how rich and stupid people were, they were also curious to see if Chen Mo would answer the question.
"Just by saying a few words, I can get ten thousand yuan. Wow, this money is simply like the wind. I'm so envious!"
Many people said that the nouveau riche was stupid and had a lot of money, but in fact, the nouveau riche had his own plans. This was because this question would definitely be watched by many people. As long as there were more than 20,000 people watching, the nouveau riche would be able to break even. If there were more, it would be pure profit.
With Chen Mo's influence, wouldn't twenty thousand people be able to do it?
…
He waited for a day, but nothing happened.
Many people were disappointed. Was Chen Mo really not interested in the ten thousand RMB? Why did he seem completely indifferent?
However, on the second day, Chen Mo actually answered. From the time of the voice, the answer was only two seconds!
Many players were shocked. What the hell, Chen Mo actually answered!
But why was it only two seconds? Wasn't this too perfunctory?
You should at least say a few more words and introduce your game to the nouveau riche so that his money was worth it!
After this message came out, a large number of players paid to see Chen Mo's answer. After all, it wasn't expensive to watch, it only cost one RMB.
In the end, the content of this two-second answer was very simple. There were only four words.
"PlayerUnknown's Battleground."
Many players' faces turned green when they heard this …
That instantly brought back the trauma from before!
As soon as this reply came out, the players' forum exploded!
"What the hell, Chen Mo is making Digging for Ascension? Isn't it just that hammer-throwing game? "
"What's the meaning of this? He's making a sequel to Digging for Ascension? Could it be a VR version of Big Hammer? "
"Oh my god, imagining this scene, it's simply too beautiful to look at! It's all 3D, you can climb the mountain from any direction, there are different paths to choose from, and if you fail you'll fall to the bottom of the mountain and have to start all over again … This is too magical! "
"What's the meaning of this? Isn't it enough to torture the players once, he's going to torture them a second time? Was Chen Mo suffering from masochism? First it was Dark Souls, now he's making a sequel to Digging for Ascension! Wouldn't it be great if you could make a game that's as satisfying as Killing the Proto! "
The players exploded. After all, the name Digging for Ascension had left too many players traumatized. Now that they heard that Chen Mo was making a sequel, they were on the verge of breaking down.
It would be fine if it was any other game, but what's the point of making a game like this? Moreover, it was still a long time before April Fool's Day!
Many doubted the authenticity of this answer, but it was Chen Mo's Weibo reply, and judging from the voice, it was Chen Mo's voice.
As for whether or not Chen Mo was lying, most players didn't think it was possible. Chen Mo was one of the top video game designers in the country, why would he lie to the players over such a small matter?
Moreover, the person who asked the question paid for it!
Many players were on the verge of breaking down. After waiting for so long, they thought it was going to be some amazing game, but it turned out to be a sequel to Digging for Ascension, a torturous game!
The disparity was so great that most of the players wailed in anguish.
Although everyone already knew the answer, it was still being watched by many.
In just two days, this Weibo post had been shared more than five thousand times, with more than 32000 comments and 65000 likes. The number of times the answer had been watched reached an insane 370,000 times!
The players were shocked. Oh my god, how much money was that?!
The person who asked the question was shocked himself. He thought that if the answer could be watched twenty thousand times, he would be able to recoup his losses, but now it was watched 370,000 times?!
This meant that this person didn't have to do anything to earn over a hundred thousand RMB …
Many players were beating their chests and stomping their feet, "Aiya, if only I had spent ten thousand RMB to get Chen Mo to answer this question, I would have earned over a hundred thousand RMB!"
