Before the player entered the room, the voice-over would give advice.
After the player made a certain choice, it would ridicule the choice and harshly mock the player as they walked along the corridor!
For example, before the player made the choice of 'heavy paywalls' or 'light paywalls', they would hear a voice-over:
…
Very good, you have chosen 'value-added services' instead of 'buyout' as the main method of earning money in the game.
You have listened to my advice.
Yes, I have to say that this is a good decision. Selling value-added services can earn so much money, why should you reject it, right?
But then you face a new problem.
Should you choose heavy paywalls or light paywalls?
Heavy paywalls meant that you would sell a lot of high-priced goods, such as … the 888-yuan Red Kilin.
Light paywalls meant that the price of your goods could not be too ridiculous. For example, the most expensive goods in the game were only priced at a few tens of yuan.
My personal advice … you'd better choose heavy paywalls.
There is no reason why, this can earn more money, right?
If you consider light paywalls for the sake of reputation, why not choose the buyout from the beginning?
Therefore, choose heavy paywalls. This is definitely a very correct choice.
…
After the player made a choice and entered a certain door, they would still hear voice-over in the corridor, but the two voice-overs were different.
…
"Heavy paywalls":
Oh, oh, oh, I knew it. You would choose this.
Between money and dreams, you still chose money, right?
When you were a player, you would always curse unscrupulous manufacturers for being blinded by profit.
When you were creating your own game, you were afraid that the price of the goods in the game would be too low.
Okay, okay, don't explain, I understand, this is human nature.
Examples like you happen every day in the game industry, there is nothing to be surprised about.
But have you ever thought about the possibility that you won't be able to earn any money or a good reputation?
Hehe, I am joking.
Are you prepared to be a black-hearted businessman, counting money while being scolded?
…
"Light paywalls":
What a stupid decision.
Why won't you listen to me?
Yes, you slightly saved some reputation, but do you know how much income this choice will cost you?
Your loss is a dynamic number, because the more popular your game is, the larger the number will be!
Imagine losing a few million dollars because of one stupid decision …
Do you regret it?
But I am sorry, you have already made your decision, you can't go back on it.
What? You don't regret it?
Alright, you can continue to be stubborn, but I believe that when a clear number of losses is placed in front of you, it is impossible for you to remain so calm.
Anyway, I think you've made a pretty stupid decision.
But it doesn't matter, I will still give you the right advice next time.
It is not too late, if you will only listen to me and do as I say.
…
In Pei Qian's design, this voice-over had two functions.
On one hand, the stiff voice-overs made the players feel like they were out of character. They constantly reminded the players that they were in a game, and they tried their best to destroy the sense of immersion in the game.
On the other hand, he was constantly mocking the players and provoking their anger!
Two birds with one stone, perfect!
Moreover, the voice-over would try its best to lead the player in the wrong direction.
If the player followed the narration's instructions, then the player would play the worst ending in the game and be ruthlessly ridiculed by the narration!
The voice-overs would mock the player for being a boss, for being soft-hearted, for not having a mind of his own, and for losing his conscience …
In short, this was ridicule that was too much!
Have you ever seen a game that insults players?
It was impossible for them not to lose everything!
Pei Qian carefully went through the entire design draft with Lu Mingliang. He thought that he had eliminated any potential hidden dangers.
"Alright, we'll follow this draft.
"Find me the best art resources, music, sound effects, and voice-overs. Don't spend too little money, understand?" Pei Qian instructed.
Lu Mingliang nodded furiously. "Don't worry, Boss Pei. I will follow your instructions and strive for perfection!"
Lu Mingliang left.
Pei Qian calmed down and continued drinking his tea.
Not long after, someone knocked on the door again.
"Brother Qian, the god that I invited is here. Do you want to meet him?" Ma Yang's face was filled with excitement.
"Oh, sure, I'll meet him!"
Pei Qian stood up. He still took Ma Yang's work very seriously.
Would the helper that Ma Yang found be able to do it? Pei Qian had to check on him personally.
If he was too smart, he had to find a reason to reject him!
…
Zhang Yuan stood at the entrance of Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd., feeling very uneasy.
Speaking of this, it was a little strange.
In his daily life, he was a resident singer in a bar and a part-time bartender. However, because he loved to install computers, he was more active in the card bar. He even had the title of a small bar owner.
Two days ago, a netizen on Tieba suddenly found him and asked him to come out of retirement.
Zhang Yuan's first reaction was that this was a scam!
There were many bored people on the internet. Zhang Yuan, as a lackey on Tieba, had banned a few idiots.
It was normal for people to want to play pranks and take revenge.
Therefore, Zhang Yuan did not take this matter to heart.
However, one day later, the other party looked very anxious. He said that the work here was very urgent and asked Zhang Yuan to come to Jingzhou City. His transportation, accommodation, food, and lodging were all reimbursed. There was also three thousand yuan for his hard work.
Although Zhang Yuan did not believe it, the three thousand yuan for his hard work attracted him.
He was just a little puzzled. What kind of computer was installed that was worth three thousand yuan for his hard work?
Therefore, he added the other party as a friend. He did not expect the other party to send him a two hundred yuan red packet as a token of his sincerity!
Zhang Yuan immediately understood that he had met a real baller.
If he was a scam, why would he send a red packet the moment he met him?
Then, the other party gave Zhang Yuan an address. It was an office building in Jingzhou City. At the same time, he also transferred the money for the round-trip ticket.
Therefore, Zhang Yuan came to Jingzhou City today.
When Zhang Yuan arrived, the person who received him was a student called Ma Yang.
This Ma Yang looked simple and honest. However, Zhang Yuan felt that he was not as smart as he used to be.
Zhang Yuan felt that the three thousand yuan for his hard work was definitely not from this student.
Indeed, this student called Ma Yang brought him to a company. He also reminded Zhang Yuan that the boss of the company, Boss Pei, wanted to meet him and have a chat with him.
Standing at the door, Zhang Yuan felt that it was an eye-opener.
One look and he knew that this company was a baller. It definitely did not lack money!
He looked at the signboard at the door. Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd.!
After asking Qiandu, he immediately found out that this was the company that developed Ghost General and Ocean Stronghold.
Games company. Rich and overbearing. There was no doubt about it!
This made Zhang Yuan feel very uneasy.
Then, a tall and beautiful female assistant brought him to the guest room and met the boss of the company.
Zhang Yuan became even more nervous.
Ma Yang did not reveal his true intentions to Zhang Yuan. After all, whether to hire him or not was still up to Pei Qian.
If Pei Qian felt that Zhang Yuan was up to it, then Ma Yang would continue to talk to Zhang Yuan.
Therefore, Zhang Yuan was still in a state of confusion.
He did not know why a bar singer cum bartender like him had caught the eye of such a big boss. He also did not know why the other party wanted to ask him for help.
He wanted him to sing?
He wanted him to mix drinks?
He wanted him to sing and mix drinks at the same time?
Hmm … that did not seem possible.
Could it be …
The big boss wanted him to help him install the machine?
