Ye Xing never expected that he, someone who rarely played games, would apply for a job at a game company after graduation. What he expected even less was that he would become a real-life NPC in the...
Chapter 52 Management That Administrator May Have Problems
You Meng and his friends felt very guilty for letting "do it yourself and you will have enough food and clothing" be unjustly criticized - even if it was not their fault, it was after all an incident caused by their own competition.
Youmeng Company tried its best to compensate the other party. Although the other party said that as long as the game account was never banned and some equipment were compensated, cash compensation was still necessary.
"Sister, do you think those people who threw dirty water were targeting us or her?" After signing a few autographed posters as in-kind compensation, Ye Xuan looked at the TO signature and raised the question.
Sister Lin was summarizing the data and took the time to reply: "No matter who they are targeting, they are here with bad intentions."
Too.
Ye Xuan nodded and continued to work on the posters one by one. Even the signing and packaging were his job.
In fact, the official poster of "You Meng" is quite different from the painting style of that contestant. He had seen several brainwash packages saying that she was the painter of You Meng, and some people actually believed it.
It's too far-fetched. The most reasonable one should be "it doesn't look like an emoticon", but this statement is the least widely circulated.
It is true that the organizers were responsible for judging the work that was not an "emoji" to be the first place. However, it is the players who bribed the judges to falsify the content and pretended to be gamers to participate in the competition.
From this point of view, it is more likely to be targeted at her.
wrong.
Ye Xuan felt that he seemed to have overlooked something. This did not seem to be simply targeting a certain person. If dragging You Meng into the water was to allow the authorities to "deal with" her on their own, then there was no need to make up so many different statements. It was obviously superfluous.
So why is this? The clue ends here.
If they intend to continue investigating, the information they have now is far from enough.
What if we could get some help?
He remembered that Wuming's business scope was extremely wide, his technology was good and his efficiency was high, so maybe he could...
"Sister Lin?" Seeing that the other party had just finished a phase of work, Ye Xing asked, "How about our cooperation with Wuming this time? Although we were on opposite sides last time, they probably didn't want to be hostile to us, but they just happened to be in the same boat with Wuya at that time. This time it's different. It can be said that they owe us a favor - we didn't hold them responsible for the Wuya incident, but instead insisted that it was Wuya's fault and silenced the public opinion, which was also helping them."
Sister Lin understood after sorting out this long string of words. Wuming now urgently needs to distance himself from his completely ruined reputation. Not being used to issuing statements, they did not directly point out that they had fallen out with Wuya. If You Meng had not been one of the parties involved in that incident, they probably would not have known that the "kinship" between the two would eventually break down.
One of the effective ways to clearly prove that Wuming and Wuya are no longer in the same camp is naturally to establish a good cooperative relationship with Youmeng, who was previously opposed to Wuya.
Although this move seemed risky, it was actually a relatively safe step among the existing options. Sister Lin was indeed surprised that Ye Xing could think of this.
"Xiao Xuan, your idea is so sharp, why don't we..." Sister Lin had a new idea.
"No, it's impossible, forget it." Ye Xuan guessed that the other party might be intending to assign him new work content, so he refused bluntly before the leader finished speaking. He was a ruthless person who did not give face to his superiors.
"Hey, you're so stingy." Sister Lin complained in an exaggerated tone, "The more capable you are, the more work you should do. Xiaoxuan, don't hide it. Isn't it your job to contribute to the company in times of crisis? You make me so disappointed that even my work efficiency has dropped. It's really annoying."
Ye Xuan knew that it would be better for him not to respond at this time, so he pretended not to hear and continued packing the posters.
"Forget it, I'll contact Wuming." Sister Lin saw that the other party was almost autistic, so she stopped teasing him, "Xiaoxuan, you don't know them, and I just happened to have accumulated some connections when I communicated with them last time, so you don't have to worry about it."
Ye Xuan nodded without saying anything polite.
After he packed up all the signed posters, he opened a "well-known" gaming forum to see how public opinion was developing.
Chat: Discussion on the suspected fraud in the "Dream Travel" emoji competition [explosion]
1L LZ How many of you here are Dream Game players? You know that your official matches are suspected of being rigged, right? Why don't we talk about it?
2L Why are you here again? I’m reporting you.
3L The poster of this thread is definitely a Youmeng hater. You were also the one who posted the last discussion thread, and you were full of weird words.
4L LZ Huh? It turns out that there are still friends who remember me. I am so touched. After all, there are so many people who "hack" Youmeng now, and I am not the only one who stands out. I am so honored to be remembered by everyone.
5L I am speechless. So many contestants didn’t speak out, but you passers-by are all messengers of justice.
6L players didn't speak up? Please go to the next building and have a look [web link]
Ye Xuan hesitated for a moment, but decided to finish climbing the building first.
7L According to the rules, the chat forum's negative discussion posts cannot have a big name in the title, right? Are the administrators sure they won't deal with it?
8L LZ Oh, don't be so serious, maybe you will get hammered while chatting? The administrator is too busy to take care of these trivial matters. The rules are just dead rules and regulations. If you can't accept our discussion, you can leave as soon as possible. I am worried that some dream-wandering filial sons will find it difficult to accept the facts and still want to deceive themselves.
9L How can something that is made up out of nothing be considered a **fact?
10L LZ Please don't be so angry above. I've already said this is a discussion thread. I think if this matter is really confirmed, it will be good for other people participating in the competition. Otherwise, how sad would you feel if you didn't win the prize even though you are obviously better?
Is the 21L forum turtle dead? This OP has violated the rules more than once or twice and still hasn't been blocked? I think if there is a ghost, it should be here first, right?
29L The administrator of this post 21L has been banned. Please discuss in harmony.
Is this why he was banned?
Ye Xuan was very surprised. He had always thought that the administrator here was just a legend. After all, he had never appeared despite everyone's calls for him.
To think that he would come out under such circumstances...
Ye Xuan knew that this game forum was a popular and large forum, so it was normal for it to have a mix of good and bad players. However, the administrators were generally experienced and omnivorous old players, so they should not be too biased towards one side.
This doesn't seem right. At least the "host" of the post isn't that simple.
A pure bystander probably can't do this.
Ye Xuan himself doesn't play games much, and now he is very regretful. Why didn't he do a good job investigating the other company before submitting his resume, and why did he rush to try all kinds of methods?
Now, I am busy all day trying to find out who is behind this, and even my own work has to be suspended for a while.
He overlooked an important aspect, that is, the source of many outsiders' attacks on You Meng was him, the real-life NPC who had stolen the limelight. At this time, he could be regarded as a "leader" in the industry.
People who are too outstanding and unique are very likely to attract jealousy.
Jealousy is a major reason why people hurt others.
Ye Xuan has no idea about the amount of discussion he has received online. He doesn’t know that a large number of users who have registered on Youmeng are here for this “best” real-life NPC.
He has undoubtedly become popular. Some mobile game players who were not interested in holographic online games could not help but go to the holographic game experience hall to try it out. It is said that they can trigger real NPCs for free.
The current operating model and related technologies of real-life NPCs are just in their infancy. Some large companies have tried to invest a small amount of real-life NPCs for the sake of novelty, without thinking about vigorously developing them. Most of them are just a gimmick rather than the main selling point of the game.
The original selling point of "Dream Travel" was naturally not Ye Xuan, but who could have thought that he would become so popular?
Real-person NPCs in other games are almost all additional charged items. Due to high costs and low efficiency, reservations may not be successful.
In "Dream Travel", triggering real-life NPCs depends entirely on luck, so more people want to give it a try - it doesn't cost any money anyway.
Another point is that Ye Xuan is not an actor in the relevant industry, and he doesn't know much about games and acting. He often makes jokes. His acting is awkward but not so distracting, and his operation is clumsy but not a drag. It can be said that he adds some humor without being annoying.
Most of the real-life NPCs before him were actors who had appeared in offline real-life interactive games, such as escape rooms and haunted houses. Of course, their acting skills were far better than his, but in terms of game effects, they were not as good as him.
This is because professional actors allow themselves to make mistakes; every line, every expression, every reaction is performed according to the script. Their seriousness and meticulousness are not much different from those of AI that are operated by programs.
Since real people have been invested and users have spent money, they must be expecting something different, but this biggest demand has obviously been ignored.
Although Ye Xuan cannot be called "professional", he did it easily and unknowingly won the favor of many game players. After several recommendations, his fame grew and he became a living signboard of Youmeng.
Ye Xuan had originally applied for the job just to make a living, and had not thought about becoming famous. Looking at the countless discussions online and the growing number of fans, he could hardly believe that he had become famous.
When you are famous, you are prone to gossip.
"Sister Lin?" Ye Xuan suddenly thought of something, "'Someone famous' has no grudge against us, right?"
Sister Lin waved her hands and said, "We can't afford to offend the largest gaming forum right now. If there really was a grudge, our players wouldn't post so many strategy guides there."
Indeed, some game guides of Youmeng players will choose to be posted on the official forum and "a certain well-known" forum respectively. One side is for internal discussion while the other side is for traffic diversion and technical selling.
So what about the administrator?
