Pei Qian used Hardcore Reviews' account to send a message to Shaohu Reviews.
Two minutes later, Hu Xiao replied.
"Brother, let me know if you need anything!"
Pei Qian was a little shocked. This person was really working 24/7 on Aili Island.
That was because Pei Qian had used Aili Island's private messages and not social media.
The fact that the UP Master of Shaohu Reviews could reply so quickly meant that he had been paying attention to Aili Island's private messages.
Of course, he could also be paying attention to Weibo, forums, Aili Island, and other websites at the same time.
Pei Qian could only say that this was the attitude a professional UP Master should have.
Pei Qian thought about his words.
The System did not allow people to buy fake reviewers. That was probably because the System believed that using fake reviewers to create fake negative reviews or fake positive reviews was considered fraud. It would affect consumers' judgment of certain products.
Since this was considered fraud by the System, Pei Qian could not spend System Funds.
However …
If it was not fraud, would he be able to spend System Funds?
Asking a group of people to give a normal review of the game would be the same as giving money to people to review the game. The System could not possibly prohibit this, right?
Boss Pei was a person who was good at finding loopholes in the rules.
"Do you accept custom-made services?" Pei Qian asked.
Hu Xiao did not dare to be slow. He quickly replied, "Of course! Our brothers are all very capable. Not only are they experienced, but they also know how to adapt to the situation. Just tell us what you need. We will definitely satisfy you!
"Of course, there might be slight fluctuations in the price. After all, custom-made services are very technical …"
Ever since the previous incident, Hu Xiao had been paying close attention to the UP Master of Hardcore Reviews.
This UP Master did not lack money. His marketing skills were very good. What's more, he had an indescribably complicated relationship with Fei Huang Workspace.
Hu Xiao was happy to establish a good working relationship with him. For all he knew, he might need his help in the future.
Of course, Hu Xiao did not mind earning a little more money.
Pei Qian pondered for a moment and typed. "Ask your brothers to play a game and then give a review based on their first impression of the game."
Hu Xiao was stunned. "That's it?"
Pei Qian, "That's right. Name your price."
Hu Xiao was a little confused. He hurriedly asked, "Bro, let me confirm again. You just said that you'll give an evaluation based on first impression?"
"Make it clear. Do you want our brothers to give us good reviews or bad reviews?"
"I'm afraid I misunderstood you."
Hu Xiao felt a little dizzy. This was the first time he had seen someone spend so much money to hire fake reviewers.
If you want the Internet Water Army to work, you should at least give them a clear goal, right?
Brainless bragging, brainless discrediting, cross-hatching, pretending to be neutral but actually taking sides, stepping on one and supporting the other, changing the target …
These were what the Internet Water Army brothers were good at.
But as a sugar daddy, you have to make it clear, right?
There were so many ways to operate it, and you didn't even specify which one to use. What if you made a mistake?
Pei Qian, "I'm asking our brothers to try out the game and then give you an evaluation based on your first impression. I've made it very clear."
"Whether it's a good or bad review, it's fine as long as it's a first impression."
"Also, I have to emphasize that I'm not buying the Internet Water Army. I'm just spending some money to invite some brothers to try out the game and let them give some suggestions. "
Hu Xiao was speechless.
You made so many requests to the leader of the Internet Water Army and then said, 'I'm not buying the Internet Water Army'?
Brother, this is a private chat. I won't expose the chat records. You don't have to be so nervous, right?
Hu Xiao was a little confused. However, based on the principle of 'the customer is king', he seriously read the other party's words from beginning to end and tried his best to understand it with the most superficial concepts.
"So, you're just spending money to invite everyone to try out the game and then write some reviews.
"As for whether the reviews are good or bad, there are no specific requirements. You just have to give them your first impression, right?"
Pei Qian, "That's right."
Hu Xiao, "What about the platform?"
Pei Qian, "Everywhere, including the official platform, Aili Island, Weibo, forums, and so on.
"Just name your price."
Since he could use the System Funds, Boss Pei instantly became rich and imposing.
I'm a yes-man when I'm asking for money, but the System retaliates with a heavy blow!
Two minutes later, the other party replied.
"How about this? We'll use the price of high-quality reviews as the base price. Twenty yuan for a hundred reviews. Of course, if it's on Weibo, we'll seriously consider the content of some of the more popular Weibo posts. We'll attach a certain amount of comments and reposts to make it seem more authentic.
"We'll also try to give some highly liked comments on other places, such as Aili Island's gaming-related videos.
"This involves some mixed fees. For example, how much a Weibo post with a lot of likes, reposts, and comments would cost? We'll definitely calculate in detail. However, don't worry, we're all professionals. We'll definitely do this flawlessly. We'll also try our best to give you a discount.
"This is the price list …"
Hu Xiao had just sent the price list over when the other party quickly replied.
"Don't make it so complicated. I'm too lazy to calculate.
"Let's just pay based on the number of people. Three hundred yuan per person. Help me organize three to four hundred people. Just give each person enough work according to the contents of the package.
"It doesn't matter if the reviews are good or bad. You just have to give them your first impression.
"Is there a problem?"
Hu Xiao felt a little light-headed.
Of course, there's no problem. What problem could there be?
If you're willing to burn money to play, why wouldn't I be happy?
Yet, why?
What's the point of spending so much money?
Paying for the number of people was obviously not as cost-effective as buying the number of comments!
Hu Xiao did some calculations and realized that based on the standard of three hundred yuan per person, three to four hundred people would be spending a hundred thousand yuan.
However, the problem was that this hundred thousand yuan would be wasted!
However, Hu Xiao thought about it again. This Hardcore Reviews bro knew so much about marketing. Why would he be so bored as to spend money to play?
There must be a deeper meaning to this.
Thus, Hu Xiao did not ask further. He nodded and said, "No problem. Don't worry, I'll definitely do it properly!
"Give me a moment. I'll inform my brothers and give you a reply later."
…
After arranging for the fake reviewers, Pei Qian felt much more at ease.
A hundred thousand yuan was a small amount of money. He could use the System Funds to pay for it. Spending it casually was not a big deal.
He knew very well that no matter how many fake reviewers he bought, it would be difficult to completely change the direction of the public opinion.
Even if hundreds of fake reviewers kept changing their accounts and commenting, they were still a minority compared to tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of players.
What's more, Pei Qian had the System to hold him back. He could not ask these fake reviewers to write good or bad reviews directly. He could only use this roundabout method to get them to write reviews based on their first impression of the game.
Of course, Pei Qian was so confident because he knew very well that these fake reviewers would have a terrible first impression of Repent and be Saved!
It was obvious that these fake reviewers were not skilled gamers. In fact, they might not even be able to run Repent and be Saved on their computers.
These people's gaming experience would definitely be terrible. If he asked them to write reviews based on their first impression of Repent and be Saved, how could it be good?
Thus, Pei Qian had perfectly circumvented the System's restrictions. Not only did he hire fake reviewers and create a wave of momentum online, but he also did not spend any of his own money.
It was perfect!
A hundred thousand yuan was not a lot. Pei Qian planned to spend some money to see the effect.
If the effect was good or not, he would continue to spend money.
If it had the opposite effect … he had to stop as soon as possible to cut his losses.
Pei Qian did not dare to spend too much money at once. If things turned out like the previous time, he would be in big trouble.
Just as he was about to close the chat window, the other party sent him another message.
"Brother, we still have to buy the game. What should we do with the money …?"
Pei Qian was speechless. Didn't you just call yourself a professional fake reviewers?
Do you need me to teach you how to refund the game after buying it?
However, on further thought, he guessed that the other party rarely received such special requests for custom-made services.
When other people hired fake reviewers, they would probably just give a rough explanation. The fake reviewers only had to copy and paste it or edit it slightly. Then, they could start working.
Pei Qian hired fake reviewers, but he still had to let them experience the game for themselves.
It seemed like he was making things difficult for them.
Pei Qian replied, "It's alright. You can refund the game after playing it. If you think it's too much trouble, I can add another twenty thousand yuan for your hard work."
Hu Xiao, "Thank you, Boss! Speaking of which, are the hardware requirements for this game high? I'm afraid my brothers won't be able to run their computers. "
Pei Qian, "…"
You're so troublesome!
If you can't run it, so be it. You can just download it and play it. If your computer lags like a dog, you can give the game a bad review.
Or even if you don't download it, you can just review the game and criticize it. I won't pursue the matter, right?
Now that you're asking me this, how am I supposed to answer you?
I can't possibly go into so much detail with you.
Pei Qian pondered for a moment and replied, "I'll add another twenty thousand yuan for you. Solve this problem yourself. If you really can't do it, ask everyone to find a better internet cafe nearby. "
Hu Xiao, "Aye, alright! Brother, you're so generous! "
Indeed, money could solve all problems, especially when it came to using System Funds.
Once everything was settled, Pei Qian happily knocked off from work.
He just had to wait for the game to be released tomorrow!
…
…
October 1st …
Repent and be Saved was officially released!
The moment the purchase button became available, countless anxiously waiting players pressed it without hesitation!
However, a small number of players keenly noticed a small line of words on the game's introduction interface: "Refund within five hours without reason."
On other games on the official platform, this line of words would usually read: "Refund within three hours without reason."
Of course, a small number of players who noticed this line of words thought that Tengda was being kind again. They did not realize the dangerous message hidden behind it.
…
Shenzhen …
Hu Xiao was at home. He had just given his brothers from the fake reviewers a new task.
Although this task seemed a little illusory, the other party was generous with his money. Since he had given them enough money, there would not be any more problems.
Hu Xiao had already arranged the candidates. All he had to do was wait for the game to be officially released. Then, he would start work.
"Should I try it out as well?"
Hu Xiao did not have much to do recently.
Since there were no companies looking for him to do sponsored partnerships, he did not want to make videos either.
Of course, Hu Xiao did not want to roll up his sleeves and do the work of the fake reviewers. He did not care about that bit of money either.
However, from the official platform, the game seemed to be quite popular. It would not be bad to play it as a pastime.
At that thought, Hu Xiao decided to download the game and play it for a while.
"The downloaded installation package costs eight gigabytes?
"That's alright. Download it."
Repent and be Saved had relatively high requirements for the computer, and the art resources were also very detailed. However, since the game did not take long and had been optimized well, the installation package cost around eight gigabytes.
That was not a number that was difficult to accept.
Hu Xiao was a little curious. The other party said that he would evaluate the game based on first impressions.
What would everyone's first impression of the game be?
