Pei Qian pretended as if nothing had happened and walked up to Qiao Liang. He smiled and asked, "How do you feel?"
Qiao Liang was still immersed in the game and did not react immediately. He paused for a moment before standing up. "I feel … er …"
At that moment, Teacher Qiao, who had played so many weird games and made so many videos, was at a loss for words.
How do you feel?
His biggest feeling was that the difficulty of the game was set wrongly!
Perhaps the systems designer had added an extra zero to the attacking power of the small monsters. Everything else was fine.
However, looking at Boss Pei's warm smile, Teacher Qiao could not bring himself to say anything.
Boss Pei was a celebrity game designer after all. How could he make such a stupid system design mistake?
Making a wrong calculation and adding an extra zero … even a system designer who had just entered the industry would not make such a mistake. After all, to become a system designer now, one had to have basic mathematical knowledge.
It was not like a plot designer who could write a few words and be accepted.
Thus, Teacher Qiao mumbled for a long time but could not think of anything to say.
He even felt a little guilty.
Qiao Liang, oh, Qiao Liang, why did you drop the ball at such a crucial moment?!
Didn't Boss Pei invite you all the way here and serve you well because you're a veteran gamer? Didn't he want to hear your opinion?
Yet, you played for a few hours and could not even answer such a simple question. You let Boss Pei down!
Even he felt a little embarrassed.
However, Pei Qian did not mind at all. Instead, he laughed and said, "Let's go and have dinner. I'll hold a welcome dinner for you tonight!"
Pei Qian was not angry at all. Instead, he was very satisfied with Teacher Qiao's reaction.
This meant that Repent and be Saved had become a blur. That was exactly what Pei Qian wanted to see.
After all, Teacher Qiao's endurance was one of the strongest among gamers.
Back then, Teacher Qiao had completed The Lonely Desert Road seriously. He was definitely a ruthless person!
Of course, part of it was for his livelihood. However, Teacher Qiao's endurance was not to be underestimated.
Yet, Teacher Qiao had been tortured by the game to the point that his consciousness had become blurry. Didn't that prove that Pei Qian was on the right track?
Looking at Teacher Qiao's reaction and thinking about how ordinary gamers would react, Pei Qian felt even more assured about Repent and be Saved's future.
…
…
Ming Yun Private Kitchen …
Pei Qian led Qiao Liang all the way to the largest private room in the private kitchen.
In the afternoon, the decorations here had been completely changed. For today's dishes, they had selected matching interior decorations, dining tables, cutlery, and so on. It looked unique.
Only Pei Qian and Qiao Liang were eating; no one else was accompanying them.
The other employees were still busy with Boss Pei's money-losing project. Only Boss Pei was relatively free. Thus, he came over to eat with Qiao Liang as a sign of respect.
Moreover, this was not a very formal business banquet. If there were too many people, it would be restrictive.
The environment was good, and the service was on point.
Even the desserts and side dishes before the meal were more delicious than the main course of a normal restaurant.
Qiao Liang ate the appetizers and chatted casually with Pei Qian. For some reason, he felt a sense of danger.
Isn't Boss Pei treating me too well?
As the saying goes, there must be something amiss when something is out of the ordinary. I'm just an ordinary video UP Master. What have I done to deserve Boss Pei's attention?
Could it be that there was some kind of conspiracy behind this?
Qiao Liang felt that Boss Pei's smile was meaningful and not that simple.
"How's your progress in the game?" Pei Qian picked up a mouthful of food and asked with a smile.
Qiao Liang answered truthfully, "We've reached the town."
Oh, we've already walked out of that small village?
Not bad, not bad. You're making good progress.
It seemed like Teacher Qiao's comprehension and operation were pretty good.
Similar suffering games were more difficult at the beginning. As long as one persevered, the game would become smoother and smoother.
The key was to change one's mindset.
If he didn't change his mindset, it wouldn't be strange for him to never leave the Beginner Village.
Repent and be Saved was the same as other soul-related games. It had a setting where all the monsters would be resurrected after death. If some hotheads only knew how to rush forward, no matter how many times they tried, their progress would be stagnant.
However, if one could learn the ropes and advance cautiously and steadily, the game would progress much faster.
It was Qiao Liang's first time coming into contact with such a game. It was normal for him to progress slowly at the beginning.
However, thinking about how Teacher Qiao had suffered in the novice village for eight hours, Pei Qian could not help but smile. He could not help but feel like laughing.
"What do you think is the main difficulty?" Pei Qian continued to ask.
For the areas that Teacher Qiao thought were difficult, he had to increase his efforts.
If Teacher Qiao didn't think it was difficult, he had to increase the difficulty.
Without hesitation, Qiao Liang said, "The monsters' attack power is too high.
"What else?" Pei Qian ignored this point.
"Also …" Qiao Liang fell into deep thought.
Eight hours of misery, scene by scene, surged into his mind.
For example, angering a small monster and getting ganged up on by a group of small monsters; walking into an alleyway and suddenly being surrounded by small monsters in all directions; crossing a cliff and being pushed down by a small monster that suddenly rushed out of nowhere …
The eight hours of struggle were filled with blood and tears!
Qiao Liang felt like he was a piece of fish on the chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered!
Oh, no, waiting to be slaughtered by monsters!
As he listened to Qiao Liang's sobs, Pei Qian tried his best to look serious. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could only see four words on Qiao Liang's face: Increase your efforts!
Hearing Teacher Qiao talk about his suffering made Pei Qian feel even more blissful.
Why did I spend so much money on this game?
Wasn't it for this day?!
Qiao Liang did not notice Boss Pei's subtle expression. He was still immersed in his suffering and could not extricate himself.
"The most ridiculous thing was that there was a small monster in the town that looked like a night watchman. There were two of them. One held a gong, and the other held a baton. Wherever they walked, all the unconscious small monsters would wake up. They would only fall asleep again after a long time. "I wanted to assassinate them, but the two of them were holding lanterns and had very good eyesight. One slash and my health bar was drained. I wanted to run, but the two of them even knew how to use hidden weapons. I …"
"Pfft."
Pei Qian finally could not help but laugh out loud.
Teacher Qiao froze. "Boss Pei?"
Pei Qian was also a little embarrassed. Sh * t, I could not help it!
Teacher Qiao's description was too immersed and vivid. Pei Qian could even imagine how he would look when he met the night watchman and was chased around by the lantern-carrying night watchman. It was really hard to keep a straight face.
Fortunately, the dishes were served at that moment.
"I'm happy to see the dishes. Come, come, come. Teacher Qiao, please."
Pei Qian quickly pushed the sea urchin sushi that the waiter had just served towards Qiao Liang, gesturing for him to eat quickly.
Qiao Liang felt that something was wrong.
Boss Pei's expression was very strange.
Why did it feel like he was gloating?
He seemed very happy to see me die like a dog in the game? And he could not help but laugh just now?
Could it be that Boss Pei invited me all the way here just to see me suffer?
Was this table full of good food because he found his conscience?
Qiao Liang could not help but feel suspicious.
I might be an ordinary UP Master who signed the contract and took your money, but I still have my own character and dignity!
If my guess is right, even if the contract has been signed, I must protest sternly and expose such disrespectful behavior on the internet!
Qiao Liang thought angrily as he picked up a piece of sea urchin sushi.
"Eh? Delicious! "
The cold and refreshing sea urchin yellow and the warm and fragrant white rice in the sushi melted the two wonderful feelings on the tip of his tongue. It was like an erotic French kiss, instantly conquering Qiao Liang's taste buds.
Qiao Liang had eaten some Japanese food in Beijing before, but he could clearly feel that this was not an ordinary sea urchin!
Ordinary sea urchins were very cheap, but auction-grade sea urchins could sell for thousands of yuan each.
Thus, when Xue Zhebin came this afternoon and asked about sea urchins, the waiter told him that he had to make a reservation because Ming Yun Private Kitchen did not sell ordinary sea urchins.
Of course, to be more precise, there were sea urchins in the kitchen at that time. However, Pei Qian had reserved them for Teacher Qiao so he could not bring them to Xue Zhebin.
Looking at the expensive dishes on the table, Qiao Liang felt the suspicion in his heart melt like ice.
Boss Pei values me so much and treats me to such good food. How could it be that he wants to see me suffer?
If I can eat so much good food just by playing games and suffering, then I can only say … please put more effort into it. I can still take it!
Qiao Liang ate the delicious food as he made up his mind.
"Boss Pei treats me so well. I must play this game seriously and complete it well so that I can promote him well!"
…
…
"Thank you for your hospitality, Boss Pei!" Teacher Qiao still wanted to eat more, but his stomach was really full.
So many delicacies were the ultimate satisfaction!
In fact, Teacher Qiao felt that it was worth coming to Jingzhou just for this meal!
Pei Qian did not know that Teacher Qiao's mentality had changed drastically at the dining table. He instructed Little Sun to send Teacher Qiao back to the hotel and then come back to pick him up.
After sending Qiao Liang off, Pei Qian looked for Lin Canrong and asked about the recent situation.
There were tables and chairs in the villa's garden as well. The cool night breeze made one feel refreshed.
"How many customers have come recently?"
Ever since Zhang Zuting posted on Weibo, Pei Qian had been feeling very anxious. He could not stop worrying about the situation at Ming Yun Private Kitchen.
Lin Canrong immediately understood.
At first, no one showed any interest. Now, more and more people came. Obviously, Ming Yun Private Kitchen's publicity work was progressing steadily in places that most people did not know about.
Boss Pei probably wanted to ask about the recent number of customers to judge the results of the publicity, right?
However, how should he answer?
Logically speaking, he should be optimistic in order to highlight the success of the publicity work. However, if he did that, he would be suspected of lying to Boss Pei.
After all, there were less than ten customers in total over the past two days. What's more, most of them were scared away after looking at the menu. Only two or three people really stayed to eat.
The only returning customer was the young man called Xue Zhebin who came in the afternoon.
Just based on the number of customers, he could not be optimistic!
Seeing that Lin Canrong was hesitating, Pei Qian could not help but smile.
Fortunately, Lin Canrong did not immediately report the good news. That was the best news!
This meant that Zhang Zuting's Weibo post was not that effective. It did not stimulate the customer flow that much.
