The screenshot of their chat was quickly sent to Eternal Fallen Samsara's reader group, and then sent back to Teacher Qiao's group.
"Solid! It's solid! "
"Look at the lousy author's wording and attitude. It's obvious that there's something going on!"
"Wait a minute, how did you see that? Didn't the lousy author say that your conjectures are wrong? "
"He said that 'some conjectures are wrong'! That means that there's no problem with the general direction! "
"Ah, which conjectures are wrong?"
"Let me look at the chat records … Teacher Qiao is trying out Repent and be Saved's new work. It should be true. This new work is developed based on the plot of Eternal Fallen Samsara. It should be true too … Then, there's only one sentence left! 'Every episode of the inspiration class will have a work turned into a game' is wrong! "
"In other words, there's more than one work?"
"That's right! It's definitely not just Eternal Fallen Samsara. Aren't there a few other books that are being overhauled? In other words, the books that are being overhauled might have a copyright development plan? "
"I just came back from the group of doves! He did not reply to me directly, but he was evasive. There must be something going on! "
"Everyone, stop asking. Obviously, this matter has to be kept secret. What's more, the copyright development is definitely not limited to this one work. All the authors in the inspiration class know about it!"
"I finally understand why these authors are so excited. They might not be excited if only Eternal Fallen Samsara was changed into a game. However, with so many works having a copyright development plan, the other authors must be especially excited!"
"It's right, it's all right!"
"Sigh, if that's the case, does the promotional poster of Zhongdian Chinese Network's inspiration class have a deeper meaning?"
"What deeper meaning? Didn't that poster simply list the results of some books in the inspiration class? What's more, the results are not good. It's exposing its shortcomings. "
"Your way of thinking is only at the first level. What if it rises to the next level? Actually, this poster is showing that the results of these books in the inspiration class are indeed rubbish, but they can all be copyrighted and developed into games or other forms. Isn't that awesome? "
"Huh? You can actually understand it that way? "
"That's definitely the only way! That advertisement was everywhere, both online and offline. Think about it, the advertisement on Zhong Dian website would definitely be checked by the person-in-charge there. Even if the person doing the publicity did not understand these data, would the person-in-charge of Zhong Dian website not understand? But this poster was still released, and it's been up for more than half a month. Isn't that enough to explain the problem? "
"I see. This poster is to promote the inspiration class in advance!"
"Also, do you remember the content of the fake reviewers after this poster was released?"
"Oh, I remember. The content is similar. 'The inspiration class is the cradle of the Great God, the source of inspiration, and the place to realize dreams'. The format is similar. It's awkward."
"Now that I think about it, aren't these fake reviewers quite right? In terms of the probability of a work being copyrighted, how else could it be compared to the inspiration class? These fake reviewers are repeating this content. On the surface, it looks like they are trying to defame us, but in fact, every word they say is the truth! "
"Isn't this the 'performance-art-style publicity' of Game Designer? By constantly repeating some exaggerated advertising slogans, it will form a fixed impression in the netizens' minds, and it will have a very good dissemination effect … "
"What's more, most importantly, these do not involve false publicity. The content is all true!"
The netizens' intelligence was limitless. After finding a breakthrough, everyone worked together and quickly found more breakthroughs.
Many things that seemed to be unrelated were strung together one by one, forming a very complete logical chain!
Thus, the truth became very clear.
The works of Zhongdian Chinese Network's inspiration class might not have good results, but they had a very high chance of being copyrighted and adapted. Eternal Fallen Samsara, which was written by a doujinshi, was a very good example.
The publicity of the inspiration class was obviously focused on this aspect. On the surface, it was emphasizing that the data of these works were not good, but in fact, it was expressing that "even if the data was not good, it could still be copyrighted and developed", highlighting the uniqueness of the inspiration class.
As the first batch of works to be adapted, Eternal Fallen Samsara was about to be developed. As a veteran player of Repent and be Saved, Teacher Qiao had already been invited to try it out!
In a short afternoon, the netizens were like detectives who peeled the silk off cocoons. Through all sorts of clues, they pieced together what they thought was the truth.
This' truth 'quickly spread like the wind.
That was because Repent and be Saved had a large number of hardcore fans.
It might be a game from two years ago, but difficult games were too rare. What's more, Repent and be Saved's "Pudu" and other content had left too many jokes for players. That was why it was still very popular.
Until now, Repent and be Saved's sales had not dropped to one-fifth of the month after it was released. That was enough to show how popular it was.
All the new and old players were looking forward to its sequel.
And now, the news of a sequel was out. How could they not be excited and excited?
Of course, they had to share this good news with everyone immediately!
The various gaming media outlets followed up as netizens discussed it.
That was because the media knew that as long as the keyword 'Tengda's new game' was involved, the number of clicks and readings would definitely explode. The discussion and popularity would definitely not be low!
Many unscrupulous media outlets added fuel to the fire. The headlines were getting more and more ridiculous. They did everything they could to attract people to watch.
These ridiculous content would fill the entire internet within a day or two, allowing this news to spread to more netizens …
The situation instantly became out of control!
…
…
June 16th, Saturday …
Qiao Liang was in his residence. He clicked the mouse and flipped through the reports that had gone viral on the internet. His face was filled with black question marks.
"Shocking news! UP Master Qiao with millions of fans reveals the secrets of Tengda's new game! "
Repent and be Saved's sequel exposed! Eternal Fallen Rebirth's original novel is the first to watch! "
"The promotional poster for the inspiration class looks inconspicuous, but it hides such a huge secret …"
"The most difficult domestically-produced game sequel is about to be released! Are you ready to suffer? "
He was completely stunned.
What was this all about?
Who told you that I was trying out Repent and be Saved's new game?
I was trying out Slow Movement Studio's Animal Island VR!
Repent and be Saved had nothing to do with this!
However, he was the source of the news leak from the media articles.
Qiao Liang even started to suspect himself. He thought that he had let it slip and specially went back to look at the chat records.
The chat records were clear. Qiao Liang only said that he was trying out Tengda's new game and nothing else.
He did not mention the inspiration class or Repent and be Saved at all!
However, Qiao Liang understood when he continued to scroll down and saw the discussion records in the group.
He had made a mistake!
This group of people combined the fact that he had tried out Repent and be Saved and Eternal Fallen Rebirth. After a series of complicated deductions, they thought that he was trying out the sequel to Repent and be Saved!
It was only a guess at first, but everyone felt that it was very reasonable. Thus, it became true as it spread …
This was a false rumor. Who could they find to reason with?
Qiao Liang was very helpless, but he had no choice.
If he stood up to clarify now, it would only make people feel like he was trying to cover up. What's more, there was no need!
After much consideration, Qiao Liang decided not to bother.
They could discuss it however they wanted …
What's more, he did not leak the secret. He did not even mention the name of Animal Island VR.
At that time, Meng Chang's request was for Qiao Liang to keep the Animal Island VR project a secret. Qiao Liang felt that he had kept it a secret very well. Netizens did not even know about the existence of this project.
However, everyone mistakenly thought that Qiao Liang was playing the sequel to Repent and be Saved.
The netizens overthought and misunderstood. I can't be considered to have leaked the secret, right?
Qiao Liang thought about it. Even if there was blame for this matter, it should not be on his head. Thus, he continued to play games with a clear conscience.
…
At the same time, Meng Chang was also reading the reports at his residence.
He was obviously not as calm as Qiao Liang. His hand that was holding the mouse trembled slightly.
Every report was stabbing him in the heart.
"What's going on? What's going on! "
"Where did this news come from?!"
"Damn it, I could have gotten the minimum commission after this weekend. Why!"
"Calm down, calm down."
"Things seem to have turned for the better."
"I found the source of the leak. Boss Pei wrote a contract for me. If the company leaked the secret and caused the publicity effect to explode, I can get thirty thousand yuan commission no matter what the outcome is!"
"This is even more worth it than the two thousand yuan commission for two weeks!"
At such a critical juncture, Meng Chang's mind became clear.
First, he found the contract that Boss Pei had written for him and confirmed the contents seriously.
That was indeed what was written!
The next step was to determine the source of the leak.
Meng Chang quickly found the two most crucial transmission nodes. One was a screenshot of Qiao Liang's chat with his fan group, saying that he was trying out Tengda's new game. The other was a screenshot of Yu Fei's private chat with one of his managers.
"This should be considered an internal leak, right?"
"Teacher Qiao might not be a staff member of Tengda, but he was trying out the game! Yu Fei is a contracted author of Zhongdian Chinese Network and a direct participant of the inspiration class. He must be considered an internal member of Tengda! "
"Er … but Teacher Qiao did not try out Eternal Fallen Samsara. He tried out Animal Island VR. They have nothing to do with each other …"
"Forget it, I don't care. In any case, it must be an internal leak!"
Meng Chang decided that he would look for Boss Pei on Monday and have a good talk with him. He had to get thirty thousand yuan with this promissory note!
…
…
June 18th, Monday …
Meng Chang knocked on the door and entered as soon as Pei Qian arrived at his office.
"Boss Pei!"
"Let me clarify first that this matter is 100% an internal leak. It definitely has nothing to do with my publicity plan!"
"We had proof at the time!"
Meng Chang waved the small note in his hand, looking like a creditor who was holding an IOU to collect debts. He was very righteous.
Pei Qian did not pay attention to this matter over the weekend. He was still a little sleepy in the morning and could not keep up with Meng Chang's emotions.
He brewed a cup of tea and said, "Don't be anxious. Tell me slowly. If it was really a leak, I'll definitely keep my promise."
Meng Chang recounted what happened this weekend and emphasized that it was Qiao Liang and Yu Fei who leaked the secret, causing a chain reaction that caused the publicity of the inspiration class to fail.
After a weekend of fermentation, the matter of the works of the writers in the inspiration class being copyrighted and developed had already spread like wildfire. In particular, the fact that Eternal Fallen Samsara was developed as an official sequel into a game made countless writers extremely jealous. All of them were trying their best to enter the inspiration class.
On the other hand, the popularity that Meng Chang's ugly poster had accumulated previously had completely exploded.
According to the current standards, the publicity plan this time was definitely a failure. It did not even last for two weeks and did not receive a single cent of commission.
However, if it was a leak, Boss Pei would have to give Meng Chang a commission of thirty thousand yuan according to the contract.
This was Meng Chang's last hope.
Pei Qian sipped his tea silently. "You said that the two of them leaked the secret. How did they leak it? Do you have evidence? "
Meng Chang nodded immediately. "Yes! I have screenshots here! "
With that, Meng Chang handed his cell phone over and showed Pei Qian the two screenshots.
Pei Qian took a look and fell into deep thought.
These two pictures were obviously not enough to restore the truth.
"Sit here and wait for a while. Drink some tea. I'll make two calls and investigate this matter thoroughly! If it's really an internal leak, I'll definitely clear your name! "
Meng Chang was even a little touched by Pei Qian's righteous words.
"Alright, Boss Pei! I'll wait here! "
With that, Pei Qian pushed the door open and left.
He planned to call Qiao Liang and Yu Fei respectively. Then, he would ask those who knew the inside story to fully restore the truth.
He could not possibly listen to Meng Chang's side of the story. After all, Meng Chang was doing anything for the commission. It was normal for him to add fuel to the fire.
It was not that Boss Pei could not bear to part with the thirty thousand yuan. The key was that he could not give the money away if the secret was not leaked.
The agreement between Pei Qian and Meng Chang was viewed as a 'special employment agreement' by the System. The money given to Meng Chang had to be approved by the System. In this' special employment agreement ', the money could not be paid in the usual way, but it had to comply with the terms of the employment agreement itself.
In other words, the System had special standards in this regard. It was much more free than other employment agreements. Pei Qian could do many things, but these things were still not absolutely free and had to be restricted.
Just like this time, the money could only be given if the secret was really leaked. He could not turn a blind eye.
Pei Qian sympathized with Meng Chang, but there was no other way. Rules were rules.
…
Meng Chang waited anxiously in Boss Pei's office.
Boss Pei returned after about half an hour.
"How is it, Boss Pei?" Meng Chang immediately stood up, extremely concerned.
Pei Qian coughed lightly, gesturing for him to calm down and sit down first.
"Unfortunately, I've asked around and communicated with the two parties involved. In the end … I confirmed that this is not considered a leak."
"Teacher Qiao only said that he was testing a new game. He did not mention Animal Island, the inspiration class, or Repent and be Saved. This is not considered a leak. Yu Fei is even less of a leak. Not only did he not leak the secret, but he even hinted that the netizens were wrong. Teacher Qiao was not trying out Eternal Fallen Samsara."
"The problem this time is mainly because the netizens misunderstood and made some wrong associations. They used the wrong known conditions to deduce the correct conclusion …"
"So … it's a pity that I can't give this commission according to the rules because it's not a leak."
Pei Qian looked at Meng Chang with a pained expression.
"However, think on the bright side. Your basic salary this month is five thousand yuan …"
