Xu Piao died and was reborn, transmigrating in a blink of an eye into an interstellar online game sweet romance novel, becoming a cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name.
The scene suddenly became very awkward.
However, after this incident, Meihe's fans finally calmed down and stopped reporting the confrontation. Xiaobaicai, who was in a period of transition, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, a faint admiration arose in his heart.
I didn't expect that.
The producer of "Shan Hai Lu" seemed to be silent and had no reaction, but in the blink of an eye, the great master Mei He personally issued a statement for him.
So his previous guess that the behind-the-scenes producer of "Records of Mountains and Seas" was the great master Meihe was true...?
But even if it wasn't Master Meihe himself, he was probably a big shot of the same level who knew him.
Xiao Baicai, who was in a period of transition, was thinking about this when he saw the avatar of the producer of "Shan Hai Lu", which had not lit up even though he had sent more than a dozen private messages, suddenly light up. He was probably startled by the dozen messages that appeared at once, and it took him a while to reply.
What happened? Sorry, I was busy planning tomorrow's activities in Creative mode and didn't see the message.
Xiaobaicai, who was in a period of transition, silently pressed his heart and glanced at the dynamic posted by Meihe. "Everything is fine now."
A question mark slowly came from the other side. Xiao Baicai, who was in a difficult situation, gave up thinking about whether this producer had any connections or what they were. Regardless, since he had been lucky enough to get a ride on the big boss's coattails, he definitely wouldn't jump ship easily.
After all, there is no other big boss who can help him gain tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of fans just by riding on the popularity!
What's more, after the Meihe incident, the popularity of "Shan Hai Lu" will definitely not stop there.
At this point, anyone can see the huge potential of this game.
"Boss, what time will the event go online tomorrow?" Xiao Baicai, who was in a period of transition, asked this question quickly.
【It’s midnight.】
Isn't the event only five or six hours away?!
Xiao Baicai, who was in a period of transition, remembered that he had not yet collected enough upgrade materials, so he chatted with the producer of "Shan Hai Lu" for a while and then hurried online to collect the materials.
…
Xu Piao said he didn’t know, and he really didn’t know.
Before a game's large-scale event goes online, it is usually the busiest time for the entire production team. In the past, it was mainly the programmers and operations who were busy, but now it is only her who is busy.
So Xu Piao saw the news only after he had completed all the preparations and came out of the holographic game cabin.
So by the time she came out and saw it, the problem had already been resolved?
This was probably the fastest-resolved and most confusing operational crisis she had ever experienced.
"Tell me what happened." Xu Piao was too lazy to find out the cause and effect himself, so he directly asked 079 for a ready-made summary.
"The developer of the 90th-ranked game spread false rumors that you plagiarized the plot of another well-known developer's game. They also manipulated public opinion on Starnet, leading to numerous reports of your work," 079 narrated in a steady voice. "Not long after, the well-known developer came out to defend you, stating that you did not plagiarize."
And all this happened while she was busy in the holographic gaming cabin.
"...Okay." Xu Piao said that he understood with a strange expression. He opened the Star Network and found the statement of another party and took a look at it, but he was still a little confused.
Since I can't touch it, I won't touch it. Xu Piao left a comment expressing gratitude under the post and then left.
Then the game announcement was changed to indicate that the large-scale event would officially start at midnight in five or six hours.
The timing of this activity was a bit surreal, but for interstellar people, midnight seemed to be the beginning of their nightlife. While in the holographic game cabin, the body naturally relaxed and fell asleep, while the mind was activated during the game. While the holographic game cabin couldn't completely replace sleep, it could at least provide 50 to 60 percent of the rest it provided.
"By the way, next time something like this happens, you can wake me up." Xu Piao said to 079.
079 didn't agree immediately. His pale, human-like eyes glared at him disapprovingly. "External awakening in Creative Mode consumes a significant amount of mental energy."
"But public relations crisis is also very important. In some cases, it will be very troublesome if public relations are delayed." Xu Piao retorted subconsciously, and then when he met 079's disapproving gaze, he inexplicably felt a little empty.
It's like when your mother wraps you up tightly in a cotton-padded jacket and down coat during the winter at home, but as soon as you go out, you take them all off and happily dance in the cold wind wearing only your cropped jeans and a single layer of clothing, and you just happen to run into your mother who's out buying groceries...
Why did such a strange metaphor suddenly pop up in her mind?
However, apart from the lack of conditions for cooking during this period of time, what 079 did seemed to be almost the same as... that thing. Even the clothes that Xu Piao took off, except for the close-fitting ones, which she at least had some shame to wash herself, the rest were basically taken care of by 079.
Not to mention the daily house cleaning and shopping for daily necessities.
This guy is a complete waste-making machine!
When Xu Piao discovered that chestnuts existed in the interstellar world, she even thought about it. After finding other ingredients, she would recite the recipes she remembered and let 079 learn them and cook them.
"I learn very quickly. If you need me, I can learn how to solve these situations." 079 had no idea about the strange thoughts in Xu Piao's mind, and was still saying these words seriously and earnestly.
"That's fine. I'll only tell you once, and you better remember it." At this time, Xu Piao felt that 079's seriousness was quite similar to that of an intern assigned to her. She thought this was a good idea, so she straightened her attitude and explained it to him seriously.
…
However, Sorenchi, the instigator of this incident, was not in such a relaxed mood at all.
Only a few hours had passed from the time the incident fermented to the time Mei He made a statement. Before Lunqi could be happy for long, he saw that "Shan Hai Lu", which had originally fallen out of the top 100 and was marked with a blue label, suddenly jumped back into the top 100 and continued to rise, surpassing him in an instant and rising to around 70th place.
Because of Mei He's statement and the commotion caused by Mei He's fans before, many passers-by who had never heard of "Shan Hai Lu" started to pay attention. After the black spots of "Shan Hai Lu" were cleared, these people, either out of curiosity about the highlights of the game praised by Mei He, or because they were interested after seeing the introduction, all started to play.
In addition, many of Mei He’s fans also contributed some popularity to "Shan Hai Lu" because of Mei He’s statement and his apology after knowing that he was instigated by someone with ulterior motives to report "Shan Hai Lu".
In other words, this was equivalent to Lunqi's operation backfiring and bringing a large wave of traffic and exposure to "Shan Hai Lu".
Lentsch was in such a state of distress!
While feeling uncomfortable, Lunqi didn't know that a robot that had just finished a public relations theory class was quietly staring at him through the vast data stream of the star network.
