Chapter 1196 - Meng Chang Really Puts Me At Ease!

August 27th, Monday…

Pei Qian arrived at the office as usual to check on the situation of the various departments.

“Eh? Dawn Games platform actually organized a bug competition this weekend?”

“And he was scolded?”

Pei Qian put down the discussions online and was shocked to find that Dawn Games platform was scolded again.

Eh, why the word ‘again’?

Obviously, Pei Qian could no longer remember how many surprises the morning had brought to him this month.

The spark that led to the scolding this time was the bug-searching competition on the Dawn of Games.

According to the rules, any game on the platform that found the same number of bugs as the one marked on the platform would get a 1,000 yuan bonus. Any extra bug would get a 100,000 yuan bonus.

Once this event was released, it indeed caused a very enthusiastic response.

That was because gamers had never seen such an event!

Players were already used to the bugs in the game. Now, there was actually a gaming platform that allowed players to find bugs on the platform? Even if they found them, would they be rewarded?

What’s more, he offered a sky-high bonus!

At the moment, there were very few games on the platform. There were only about ten games in total, and all of them were mobile games. These games were submitted to Dawn gaming platform at about the same time as Blade of the Empire. They had just finished fixing the bugs and were officially released not long ago.

The number of bugs in these games basically ranged from one to three.

Some old games that had been operating for a long time and recorded bugs on the platform also participated in this event. However, players would not be able to get the 1,000 yuan bonus. They could only get 100,000 yuan.

Finding one or two bugs in a specific game would earn him a hundred thousand yuan. How tempting was that?!

Thus, news of this spread very quickly. A large number of players flooded into the games platform, wanting to get a share of the profits.

Pei Qian looked at the time. The event was officially released on Friday. A weekend had already passed.

This event caused a chain reaction.

For example, the recommendation rate for the previous two games had stabilized!

Initially, the recommendation rate of these two games had already reached the brink of being taken off the shelves. What’s more, the rate of growth was still increasing. However, after the event of looking for bugs began, they held on.

The recommendation rate had even increased significantly.

However, that was not because the gamers on the platform had found their conscience. Instead, it was because… gamers wanted to keep these two games for bugs!

These two games had been operating on other platforms for a long time. There were very few bugs in themselves. To gamers, the fewer bugs there were, the more cost-effective it would be to find them.

According to the platform’s regulations, if a game had zero bugs, players would only need to find one bug to get 100,000 yuan. If another game had three bugs, players would have to find three bugs to get 1,000. If they found four bugs, they would get 100,000 yuan.

To gamers, it was obviously very difficult for these two games to find bugs.

Thus, games with fewer bugs naturally became in high demand. Many players went in to experience the game. They even spent some money to unlock the specific gameplay in the game so that they could search every corner of the game for bugs!

This weekend, another batch of games were released on Dawn Games platform. The bugs had all been modified and reached Tang Yishu’s standards, including the Blade of the Empire.

The games with fewer bugs naturally became the main targets in these games. Players instantly rushed in and filled the new servers.

On the surface, this seemed to be a good thing. After all, it had brought a lot of popularity to Dawn Games platform.

However, things slowly changed over the weekend.

The discussion online was not going in the right direction!

“Liar! This gaming platform is a complete liar! I found a bug, but the official platform did not reply to me at all after I submitted it!”

“Big boss, awesome! Post the video on Aili Island’s website. We’ll like it so that the official platform can’t pretend to be dumb!”

“This platform is really too bad. Why are you pretending if you don’t have money? You boasted about a hundred thousand yuan as a bonus, but you refused to give it to me. Are you trying to cheat me again?”

“Eh, have you found the bugs? I played for two days without sleep. Why didn’t I find any bugs at all…”

“I found a few semantics, but the official platform is sneaky. They said that this is not a bug! It has to be a program bug!”

“Don’t worry about it. Everyone, curse it to death. This platform is completely playing us. It has no intention of paying at all!”

There were basically two types of people cursing online. The first was that they had found a bug, but the official platform did not reply. Obviously, they were going back on their word. The other was that the official platform was deliberately creating hype and casually wrote a bug, deceiving gamers to find a bug and using this gimmick to generate popularity.

On the other hand, the latter was basically influenced by the former. Many people scolded them, but they might not have found any bugs in the game at all. They were only incited when they saw that everyone else was scolding.

Pei Qian was pleasantly surprised.

Who thought of this event?

It was probably Meng Chang!

Li Yada was so simple-minded. He only knew how to design games and probably would not be able to come up with such a bad idea.

What’s more, this kind of activity that looked good on the surface was actually a scam. It was very in line with Meng Chang’s character and motives.

This event was quite successful. At the very least, it brought up all the negative public opinion.

The only bad thing was, how could he not give them money?

He had to pay him! No matter how many bugs they found, they had to pay him!

At that thought, Pei Qian immediately called Meng Chang.

“Hello? Boss Pei?” There was the sound of typing on the keyboard. Meng Chang seemed to be busy with something.

Pei Qian was 120% satisfied with Meng Chang’s working attitude.

It was too reliable with Meng Chang keeping an eye on the Dawn gaming platform! It was too reassuring!

“Did you come up with this bug finding event?” Pei Qian asked.

Meng Chang: “That’s right, Boss Pei. What do you think?”

“That’s awesome! It’s a genius idea!” Pei Qian was not stingy with his praise. “However, there’s a problem. We have to keep our word. We have to give as much as we can. We cannot go back on our word.”

Meng Chang said matter-of-factly, “Of course, Boss Pei. How can we go back on our word?”

“However, we didn’t go to work this weekend. We only started dealing with the videos submitted by these players this morning.”

“We will record all the content one by one and publicize it on the official website. If someone really finds enough bugs, we will definitely pay the money in full. We will not save.”

Pei Qian was a little surprised. “Since you don’t intend to go back on your word from the beginning, why didn’t you tell gamers that you were on holiday this weekend?”

Meng Chang smiled. “Of course it’s for some special purpose. Boss Pei, you definitely understand.”

Pei Qian immediately understood. “Oh! Of course.”

“Very good. I’m relieved now that you know your job very well and thoroughly.”

“The publicity work this month is going well. Keep it up!”

“It’s almost the end of the month. If you persevere, the commission will be beckoning to you!”

Meng Chang was very excited. “Alright, Boss Pei!”



Meng Chang was encouraged after hanging up.

Indeed, no matter how unexpected his plan was, Boss Pei could see the intentions behind it with a single look.

This meant that the publicity plan that he had racked his brains to think of was still in Boss Pei’s plan.

Meng Chang checked the current public opinion online and shook his head in pity.

“It’s a pity that we didn’t have enough time.”

“I thought that these gamers would wait at least a week before making a fuss. I didn’t expect them to be so impatient. They can’t even wait for two days.”

“Can you at least find a few days to make a fuss?”

Meng Chang had originally planned it perfectly. He had started the bug-searching event last weekend for two weeks. He had predicted that gamers would completely lose their patience at the end of the weekend, which was the end of the month. The negative public opinion on Dawn Games platform would peak.

That way, Meng Chang would be able to maximize the commission.

However, because the gamers on the platform were very impetuous, they lost their patience in two days and caused a commotion.

This caused Meng Chang’s plan to be slightly affected. It was impossible to delay it for another four or five days.

The main reason was that he was afraid that gamers would not continue scolding if he did not respond. The negative public opinion would not continue to increase.

If that was the case, it would be a little rushed when the video was released next month. This publicity plan was equivalent to three to five days of break. It was very imperfect.

If he wanted to maintain the popularity of this matter, he could only clarify it.

Meng Chang had already written a new official announcement and sent it to Li Yada.

This announcement responded to players’ current doubts. It said that the reason why there was no reply over the weekend was that the company was resting normally during the weekend. Next, it would check and reply to the bugs that all players had submitted.

He also reminded him again that the videos sent by players had to be in accordance with the rules. It had to be the official platform’s game version. It had not been maliciously modified. The video had not been maliciously edited and made. It could also be replicated twice.

If players were dissatisfied with the results, they could come to a specific location in Jingzhou and demonstrate. Dawn Games platform would conduct a live-stream on the internet. Once it was confirmed that not only would they be reimbursed for the travel and accommodation fees, but the bonus would also double.

Of course, when gamers came to Jingzhou, they would definitely not arrange for him to be tested in the ‘treasure land’ of the Dawn Games platform. Instead, they would arrange for him to be in a hotel venue and be far away.

Meng Chang leaned back in his chair and sighed softly after making the arrangements.

“I’m still not familiar with the Pei family’s publicity method. I can’t achieve the feeling of Boss Pei lifting weights easily and freely.”

“I feel that my plan might be developing according to the expected plan on the whole, but most of the time, it would still be disrupted by unexpected situations. It might be remedial but it would not be so natural.”

“However… it’s much better than before.”

Meng Chang recalled how he was on tenterhooks when he made the proposal to get the commission previously. He was afraid that he would not notice anything if he was not careful and the project would become popular in advance. His commission would be completely wasted.

However, Meng Chang no longer felt that way.

That was because he had already grasped all the details of the entire project. He had already predicted when the project would become popular and how it would become popular. Naturally, he was no longer afraid.

Meng Chang only had one feeling now: he could not wait for the end of the month to arrive!
