Qiao Liang had not expected the fans to react so strongly.
Not a single person supported him at all. They were all urging him to move as soon as possible!
What's more, everyone had a good reason.
You've been faking it all this while. You couldn't release the video because you didn't have any good material. You were waiting for Tengda's new game?
Now, the material is here!
A free suffering trip. What good material! Everyone is paying attention to it!
Yet, you're chickening out?
It's obvious that saying that you didn't have any material was just an excuse. That's your nature as a no-show!
Qiao Liang was speechless. These people were right, and he could not refute them.
As a famous UP Master, going on a suffering trip was indeed a good opportunity to gather material. What's more, the video would definitely have a lot of views.
However, the problem was … he had to suffer!
This was different from the suffering in a game like Repent and be Saved. This was real physical suffering!
Although many people died in Repent and be Saved, it was a game after all. He would suffer mentally, but his body would still be cozy in an air-conditioned room. He could even drink Coca-Cola.
If he went on a suffering trip, he would have to endure the wind, the sun, and the rain. He would have to climb rocks, start a fire, and even eat his last meal. He would not be able to decide what to eat.
Qiao Liang quickly explained, "You guys know that I'm a gaming geek. My body is not very good. I really want to challenge something as difficult as a suffering trip, but what if my body can't support it? If something really happens to me and I'm sent to the hospital, I won't be able to release the video at all! "
The people in the fan group all sent a funny emoji.
"Hahaha, the official platform obviously expected you to say this. It's written clearly in the announcement. Go and take a look for yourself!"
"You also know that you're a gaming geek and lack training? Shouldn't you take this opportunity to train more? "
"Don't worry, there are women participating in the suffering trip this time. What's more, they're all led by professionals. Before going to the wilderness, they'll first do physical training indoors. I guarantee that everything will be arranged properly for you. Apart from suffering a little, you won't get sick or affect your health. You might even discover that your body has become stronger after returning! "
"Old Qiao, stop pretending. You eat Fish-Catching Take-Out every day and play 'Fitness Battle' every now and then. Previously, you even showed off your achievements in the game and the results of losing weight. You're no longer the fat otaku who panted with every step. Now, it's definitely not a problem for you to deal with a tough trip!"
Qiao Liang read the announcement on the official website of Suffering Travel again and realized that it was really written about safety.
The first month of the Suffering Tour was indoor training. The location of the outdoor training was carefully selected. With strong logistical support, it could eliminate all worries, and there was no need to worry about not being able to persist.
Moreover, there were women participating this time. As a man, he couldn't possibly lose to a girl in terms of physical strength, right?
What's more, Qiao Liang had indeed been playing Fitness Battle previously. He had a smart fitness drying rack at home. Every now and then, he would go to the game to refresh skirts for girls.
It wasn't that he liked to exercise, but the temptation of wearing a dress for a girl was hard to resist.
Coupled with the improvement in his diet, Qiao Liang's body became much healthier over time. He lost weight and often proudly flaunted his results in the group chat.
In the end, there was a problem with flaunting.
Everyone knew that he was in good health. It would be no problem for him to participate in the Suffering Tour!
Qiao Liang was speechless. Back when he was flaunting his weight loss results in the group chat, he did not expect this to happen!
Now, there was no way out. He could not find an excuse not to go. It was not even easy to get away with it.
That was because the announcement had already been made. All the players in the country were staring at these lucky ones. Teacher Qiao was a famous UP Master after all. If he retreated now, where would his face be?
However, Qiao Liang took a closer look at the announcement and realized that there were three lucky ones going this time. He then looked at the other two names. They were Ruan Guangjian and Yao Bo!
"Eh? Big Boss Ruan is going too? "
"Wouldn't that mean that someone will suffer with me?"
"No, no, what am I thinking …"
"Who is Yao Bo? Oh, oh, the Young Master of Jinding Corporation. Why was he chosen as well? Is his spending too high in Tengda Games? "
At first, Qiao Liang was glad that he could suffer with Big Boss Ruan. However, on further thought, he realized that something was amiss. It was hard to say if Big Boss Ruan would suffer.
He still remembered how he had entered the haunted house with Ruan Guangjian. Ruan Guangjian had screamed loudly as he walked the entire journey excitedly. Qiao Liang, on the other hand, was so scared that his face turned pale and his soul left his body.
Perhaps Ruan Guangjian would still enjoy this arduous journey.
However, this Yao Bo was a rich second-generation heir after all. He should not be as perverted as Ruan Guangjian, right?
What's more, he heard that there were two girls participating in Tengda's internal employees.
With the girls at the bottom, Qiao Liang felt that it was acceptable as long as he did not perform the worst.
After struggling for a long time, Qiao Liang could only express his stance seeing that the people in the group were still unwilling to give up. "Alright, I've decided to go! However, I'll say the ugly words first. Don't expect me to release a video for Slow Movement Studios' new game immediately! "
Everyone in the fan group expressed that they did not mind.
"It's fine. Isn't it just a video of the new game? What's the difference if it's a few days earlier or later? This Suffering Tour is more important."
"That's right. There will always be UP Masters in other games who will release videos anyway. However, you're the only one who can do a live broadcast of a Suffering Tour!"
Qiao Liang gritted his teeth when he saw this group of people's words.
My god, my fans are too understanding. This is equivalent to them giving me a parachute bag on a plane and then kicking me down!
However, what could he do?
All the players in the country were watching eagerly once the lucky draw was released. Qiao Liang could not be afraid.
He could only log onto the official website and fill in the form to confirm his participation.
…
…
November 23rd, Friday …
Not long after Pei Qian arrived in the office, Bao Xu arrived and shared a piece of good news with him.
"Boss Pei, the three lucky players who have won the lucky draw have already filled in the confirmation form and communicated with us about their itinerary."
"Zhu Xiaoce has also returned to the country. Huang Sibo has already flown to the United States to hand over all the work to him."
"My idea is to officially start the training on the 1st of next month. It will last for two months, which is December and January."
"Zhu Xiaoce said that he wanted to briefly report on the filming work in the United States, so I gave him a week."
"Considering that the weather is getting colder now, we have to find a warmer place for our field training. For example, we can go to Qiongzhou to find an uninhabited island."
The good news came one after another, making Pei Qian a little overjoyed.
"Oh? The three of them have already filled in the confirmation form? "
"Let me see, Qiao Liang, Ruan Guangjian, and Yao Bo … Tsk, Yao Bo recharged so much money for us?"
After looking at the list, Pei Qian finally understood why Yao Bo had been shot for no reason. This fellow had spent so much money on games like Ocean Stronghold, GOG, and Fitness Battle. He had spent all the other standalone games in Tengda as well. He had basically spent all the money he could spend.
He might not have played all of these games, but it was obvious that he had spent money brainlessly on every game he entered.
Even if Tengda Games was more conscientious in charging fees, it would still be a terrifying figure for ordinary gamers in the end.
"Alright, it looks like the selection this time has been a great success. The people selected are all very suitable."
Pei Qian gritted his teeth as he felt smug about the genius plan he had come up with.
Even someone like Qiao Liang had signed the confirmation form. Obviously, this lucky draw method had hit his weakness directly, making him unable to reject it.
"There's no time to lose for the training. Don't wait another week. Start immediately!"
"There's no need to give Zhu Xiaoce a week to report. I'm very relieved that Huang Sibo is watching over the work there. Tell him not to report. Pack up immediately and prepare for special training!"
"Let them train for one more week. Increase the quantity but not the price! After all, they trained for one more week in the previous period. "
"As for the location, the uninhabited island in Qiongzhou is indeed a good choice. However, I have two concerns."
"First, is there a suitable place for rock climbing on the island? The main part of the training now is rock climbing. I don't want to be useless there after training for half a day. "
"Second, will this tough trip be too easy compared to the time in Shennongjia? Is it not tough enough to go to the island to bask in the sun, enjoy the sea breeze, and fish?"
Bao Xu smiled and answered, "Don't worry about that. I'll definitely arrange it properly."
"There are many islands there. I'll definitely choose an island with more complicated conditions, suitable for a tough trip, and able to use all the training programs."
"Traditional activities like rock climbing must be preserved."
"In terms of suffering, I can only say that each has its own merits."
"The wilderness survival segment in Shennongjia might be more difficult, but there are still two weeks of tourism after all. We can eat and stay in hotels, and we can also go to scenic spots to play. However, on the uninhabited island, there will only be wilderness survival and rest. There will no longer be tourism."
"Of course, the overall environment on the uninhabited island might be better than Shennongjia. After all, there is sunlight and beaches, unlike the deep mountains and forests."
"What's more, I heard that Qiongzhou has just released a 'Method for the Approval of the Development and Use of Uninhabited Islands' in the past two years. It allows organizations or individuals to apply for the development and use of uninhabited islands."
"I intend to take this opportunity to do some research. If the conditions are suitable, I can apply to the relevant departments to see if I can book an island as a fixed training ground for the tough trip."
Pei Qian perked up immediately when he heard that.
"Eh? Book an island? That's a good idea! "
"Do some research and report to me in detail later. Remember, you must book a big one!"
