At the same time, at Slow Movement Studio.
"Come, this way." Meng Chang made a 'please' gesture to Qiao Liang.
Qiao Liang hurriedly nodded and followed, his face filled with anticipation and a little flattered.
He had not expected Tengda to invite him to be a special tester for this brand new VR game!
Qiao Liang might have been invited to experience Repent and be Saved before, but that was a long time ago. Qiao Liang had not received such treatment in recent games, such as Mission and Choice and Fitness Battle. He had not even heard much about new games.
He did not know that Boss Pei was hiding this from him on purpose. He thought that Boss Pei had some special considerations for publicity or marketing.
Although he had thought of many reasons and excuses for Boss Pei, Qiao Liang still had a small grudge against Boss Pei for not inviting him to test the new game.
Why? Teacher Qiao is the person who understands Boss Pei the most. Do I not even have the privilege to experience Tengda Games in advance?
This was really sad.
That was why Qiao Liang was so excited and flattered when he received Meng Chang's invitation to Slow Movement Workspace to experience the first VR game that Tengda Games had developed.
Tengda's new game needed him again. Would this be a very positive and positive signal?
I'm not far from officially becoming an external employee of Tengda, right?
Qiao Liang could not help but begin to imagine.
Meng Chang stopped in his tracks just as he was about to enter the work area.
"Teacher Qiao, it's like this."
"Because the game is still in the testing stage, the quality at this stage can't represent the quality of the final product. We can't be sure what changes will be made in the future, so I hope you can keep this project a secret. Don't let any news of it leak online."
"If it's possible, I hope that you can reduce some online discussions, including forums, fan groups, and so on."
Qiao Liang patted his chest. "Don't worry, I'm a professional person!"
"Absolutely tight-lipped, not a single word leaked!"
"That … chat with the fans, but not about the game, okay?"
Meng Chang thought for a moment and nodded. "Sure."
Although it was only a verbal promise, according to Meng Chang's understanding, Teacher Qiao was a man of his word. As long as he promised something, he would work hard to keep it.
Furthermore, Meng Chang would at most ask for a verbal promise.
What else could they do? He could not possibly put Qiao Liang under house arrest during the trial period and prevent him from speaking in the fan group, right?
That was just too ridiculous. It was impossible to do.
Therefore, a verbal promise was enough for Meng Chang. Even if Teacher Qiao was chatting in the fan group, it would be fine as long as he didn't talk about Animal Island.
After all, the main reason he asked Teacher Qiao to play the game was to divert Teacher Qiao's attention away from Eternal Fallen Samsara.
Keeping Animal Island a secret was just something that came along with it.
After reaching an agreement, the two of them continued walking inside and soon saw Lin Wan and Ye Zhizhou.
Lin Wan, Ye Zhizhou, and Qiao Liang all knew each other. When they met, they shook hands warmly. The scene was very harmonious and harmonious.
However, Lin Wan and Ye Zhizhou did not look at Meng Chang in a friendly manner. There was a hint of wariness in their coldness.
Even though Meng Chang was now the person-in-charge of the publicity and marketing department and could be considered a part of Tengda in terms of identity, Lin Wan and Ye Zhizhou still had some understanding of his previous actions and actions.
Meng Chang might have been gradually changed by Boss Pei after entering Tengda, but who knew how much he had changed?
Thus, Lin Wan, Ye Zhizhou, and the others were still naturally wary of him.
Meng Chang acutely sensed that he was out of place in the atmosphere here. Thus, he prepared to slip away after laughing. "Alright, Boss Lin, come and receive Teacher Qiao. Talk to him about the game experience. I'll leave first."
Meng Chang heaved a sigh of relief after leaving Slow Movement Workspace.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly!
There might be a small flaw but his plan was considered a success. Teacher Qiao would definitely devote himself to the review of Animal Island for a period of time in the future and would not pay attention to Eternal Fallen Samsara.
He got rid of a hidden danger on the road to royalties!
The so-called small flaw meant that his plan had slightly aroused Lin Wan's suspicion.
Meng Chang first called Lin Wan and said that Teacher Qiao wanted to participate in the test of Animal Island. After Lin Wan agreed, he called Teacher Qiao and invited him to Slow Movement Workspace to participate in the test of Animal Island.
Just like that, he pulled the strings.
However, this plan was not flawless. The biggest hidden danger was that Lin Wan, Ye Zhizhou, and Teacher Qiao were very familiar with each other, but Lin Wan, Teacher Qiao, and Meng Chang were not …
Why did they need strangers to pull the strings between acquaintances …
That was quite strange.
Meng Chang's explanation was that as the person-in-charge of the advertising and marketing department, he happened to be doing a publicity plan next month. It had something to do with Teacher Qiao and Slow Movement Workspace.
He used this slightly lame excuse to fool them, but it was obvious that it could not completely eliminate Lin Wan's suspicions.
Of course, this was not a big problem. Even if Lin Wan suspected his motives, she would not be able to guess the truth behind it. After all, the agreement between Meng Chang and Boss Pei was absolutely confidential. No outsiders would know about it.
Meng Chang felt much more at ease after making arrangements for Teacher Qiao. He prepared to go back and continue thinking about where the loopholes were.
…
In Slow Movement Workspace, Lin Wan found a workstation for Qiao Liang in the office area. Then, she handed him a pair of VR glasses from a foreign brand.
There was a demo of Animal Island on VR.
"It's still in the development stage now. There are still many problems. If you discover any problems during the experience, you can give feedback to our project's chief designer at any time," Lin Wan said.
Qiao Liang nodded immediately. "Don't worry!"
"Boss Pei invited me to participate in the internal test of Repent and be Saved previously. Back then, I also made a huge contribution to the balance of this game!"
Qiao Liang looked proud at the mention of this.
His so-called 'huge contribution to balance' was actually that he had worked hard to filter out the best weapons in the game and then been cut by Boss Pei.
Especially the few weapons that could reduce the difficulty of the game like the guandao. They were cut so badly that even their own mothers would not recognize them.
At that time, Qiao Liang did not understand. He even mistakenly thought that Boss Pei was deliberately making things difficult for him.
However, Qiao Liang instantly understood Boss Pei's intention in cutting these weapons the moment 'Pudu' appeared.
It turned out that it was to highlight the power of 'Pudu' so that players could better experience the game content!
Thus, Qiao Liang had always been proud of his contribution to Repent and be Saved.
Lin Wan smiled. "Repent and be Saved? That's great. Our project will be completed in about a month. It will be seamless then. "
Qiao Liang was stunned. "Seamless? What is it? "
Lin Wan wanted to say that it was Repent and be Saved's new downloadable content, but she suddenly realized that something was wrong.
She could not say it.
That was because the downloadable content of Eternal Samsara involved the copyright development of Zhongdian Chinese Network's inspiration class. Boss Pei had clearly said that the secret could not be leaked!
Fortunately, Lin Wan only said 'seamless' and did not mention anything else.
That should not be considered a leak, right?
Lin Wan quickly changed her words. "It's nothing. You'll know when the time comes."
"Alright, I still have something to do. You can experience the game. You can look for me if you have any questions."
Lin Wan quickly slipped away after saying that, lest Qiao Liang noticed something amiss and got to the bottom of it.
Qiao Liang was confused as he watched Lin Wan leave.
Why was it seamless?
Could it be that there would be a new game for him to experience in more than a month?
…
While the authors of Zhongdian Chinese Network's inspiration class were frantically modifying their works, more and more readers were discussing the same question in their readers' groups.
What was wrong with these idle authors from the inspiration class?
Compared to before, they were in a completely different state of work now!
That was especially so for Cui Geng and the other two authors. They had been working intensively these few days, editing more than ten chapters a day.
What's more, this was not an ordinary minor revision. Many of the plot's content had changed, and it was polished more reasonable and perfect.
He estimated that these people had to work at least five to six hours a day. That did not include the time to rethink the story and straighten out the structure.
If he included the time, he estimated that they would have to work eight hours a day.
For this group of salted fish, working for a full eight hours was a ridiculous thing!
On the other hand, even though the other authors did not modify their works as frequently, they either updated more or prepared new books. All of them had also gotten rid of the state of idle fish.
Was this the distortion of human nature or the loss of morality?
The sense of happiness came too suddenly, and it was even a little unreal. Readers were guessing what was going on.
"There must be a special reason for the salted fish to turn things around one after another! If everything remained the same, they would not be in this state! "
"Did they increase their royalties?"
"Not really. As far as I know, the royalties of the inspiration class are already very high in the industry. The possibility of it increasing is not high. What's more, if the royalties really increased, Cui Geng and Yu Fei should update more or write new books. Why do they keep revising old books? Xiuwen is not paying. "
"Maybe it's a new rule. What if Xiuwen paid?"
"Then why don't the other authors fix their novels to cheat money?"
"Then … what else could it be? I really can't think of anything. "
"Maybe it's a special recommendation spot based on the results? Or some other channel? Or maybe there's some guaranteed bonus? "
The netizens' imaginations went wild, but they basically could not guess the point.
After all, Zhongdian Chinese Network did not have any copyrighted works before, so the netizens subconsciously did not think in that direction.
All they could think of was a better recommendation spot, a better distribution channel, or a better website contract.
