Chapter 181 Got what I wanted!
When Li Kang released the mod, he didn't actually hold much hope.
He simply wanted to put the life story condensed from decades of hard work into the game so that people would "empathize" with it.
Who knew it would become so popular!
Less than two hours after being uploaded, the popularity of "Who Takes the Blame for Me" directly triggered heated discussions in the "Who Owes Whom" community.
But the style of the comment section changed immediately.
It's not praise, but... wailing.
"Thank you so much! I was wondering who made such a realistic mod, but it gave me PTSD."
"I failed at the first hurdle. My boss asked me to come up with a bonus distribution plan. I wrote a page of it carefully. What's wrong? Is there something wrong with more work, more pay?"
"What the hell are you talking about? I just joined the company and wanted to do more to show my abilities, but why am I being ostracized?"
"When can I play a normal social game with humans? This mod turns 'who owes who' into 'who doesn't want to live anymore'"
"I don't want to say more. If you treat me like this, I will just hang myself at the door of the company."
"It's too difficult... This game is one point emotional intelligence + two points acting skills + seven points mental exhaustion."
"I find it really interesting! I can learn so much! The 18-year-old me disdained it, but now that I'm working, I'm learning it word for word!"
"If you successfully complete the game using this mod and watch fewer than three ads, you can join our company with a screenshot! 18 salary, sales manager, and commissions in the first month!"
"Wow, are they hiring? This mod could be a game all on its own!"
…
The next day, during the day,
Lu Ming immediately noticed something was wrong in the background.
Why did the comments on "Who Owes Whom" suddenly increase by several orders of magnitude?
And why are there so many discussions about the experience of this game on Weibo?
Lu Ming narrowed his eyes, a little nervous.
The first thing I felt was that the marketing random explosion generator was effective.
Lu Ming clicked in with a nervous mood.
"Hey, what's new here?"
“Someone actually made a workplace MOD”
Look further down.
MOD Rating – 2.7.
The number of active players has skyrocketed.
Average online time of users - skyrocketed again!
The number of discussions below the game is refreshed in real time.
Lu Ming calmed down.
Wow, it looks like the negative 50% has taken effect!
Great! This is definitely a pleasant surprise!
If you ask today's young people to think about the workplace, how can they not criticize them?
There is no such thing as respecting the boss in the hearts of young people. It’s all about you being the boss!
Lu Ming smiled lightly:
"There are always masters in the world!"
Lu Ming glanced at the players who were frantically breaking defense and said:
"I don't play games to experience 996!"
"Every time I enter the game, it's all gossip, infighting, stealing credit, salary deductions, and sarcastic remarks. I might as well go back to the company!"
"I worked hard in MOD for a week and finally got a full-time job, but on the day I got hired, I was reported for leaving early!"
"Can't the official remove this MOD? It's too greasy!"
"It's a rubbish game, but my boss still lets me play it and then says I don't understand it, so I'll be deducted from my performance!"
"This game doesn't align with my work philosophy. If you don't slack off and I don't slack off, how come the boss's BMW has turned into a green orange?"
"What's wrong with free games? I'm going to criticize free games too!"
"Haha, how are we, the 2D otakus, going to explain to the boss that this tea is expensive?"
…
at the same time,
The official operation team of the DeepBlue platform was completely shocked.
"Should this MOD be removed from the shelves?"
"The reviews are terrible, the one-star reviews are all on page eight!"
"But the user online rate is very high, our data has been blown away!"
"can't read……"
Lu Ming drank Coke while listening to the operations team chatting in the group.
"Mr. Lu, should we try to...persuade the author?"
"Yes, Mr. Lu, the comments section is full of one-star reviews now. Some people are blaming us for this, saying we officially condone workplace PUA!"
"Mr. Lu, should we come forward and remind them, saying, 'This mod is quite heavy and not recommended for casual players.'"
"How about we add a threshold, such as not recommending those with less than three years of work experience?"
"The reputation is really too bad now!"
Lu Ming looked at the discussion in the group and replied directly:
"No, we have to respect the players' creations!"
The next second, he emphasized again:
"This is what authenticity means! Respecting user-uploaded content is the bottom line of our platform."
"As long as the other party's actions are legitimate and legal, we really have no reason to remove their work."
What a joke! The marketing random hotspot generator finally took effect. How could I go against the system?
The operations team fell silent instantly.
But the data doesn't lie.
After the Mod was launched, the overall number of online users of "Who Owes Whom" increased by 18%.
Although there are many negative reviews,
But it’s also out of the circle!
Especially after it became a hot search,
Many people want to try this game. How did this game break my defense?
The most important thing is the emotional dashboard.
Lu Ming opened the system panel, his face filled with disbelief.
Angry: 31%, Defense broken: 22%
Just these two emotional values are more than half!
That’s it!
Marketing random hotspot generator is a good thing!
"I'm sure there will be other types of mods coming out later."
In the end, what he said was right.
Two days later, different versions of the mod about human accidents surfaced.
The Jianghu Escort Agency version, the Son-in-law Returning to His Parents’ Home version, the Palace Eunuch version, the Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law Raising a Baby version…
The comment section was filled with wails.
"This game is not about human relationships at all, it's about social survival."
"I didn't understand it, but I was shocked."
"Is this crappy game going to let me watch ads? The apologize button is always on cooldown. Who can stand this?"
"Advertisement! Where's the advertisement!"
"Why is the apology button greyed out again?"
"You're trying to scam me under the guise of free things, right?"
“Is there a MOD that increases the number of ads?”
Player's defense is broken.
Players complained that it was difficult.
Players curse the game.
The number of active users of "Who Owes Whom" has been increasing for several consecutive days
Public opinion snowballed.
And in this chaos.
The two independent animations that Lin Zhi was independently responsible for were also officially launched.
One is a supernatural comedy "I Open a Supermarket in Snow Ridge and All My Customers Are Monsters".
One is the ancient political conspiracy drama "Falling into the Prosperous Tang Dynasty and Being Promoted by the Empress for Three Years".
On the first day of its launch, the number of views exceeded one million.
However, the reputation is still as weird as ever.
Comments section of Snow Ridge Supermarket:
"Are people from Northeast China really like this? I can't tell who's the demon and who's the local anymore."
"No, the demons are starting to grab Tang Monk's flesh. I really can't hold it back anymore. Those are spicy strips!"
"I beg to differ. I still think the comics are better!"
"This dubbing is so tasteful! I think it's very authentic!"
Comments section for "Three Years of the Prosperous Tang Dynasty":
"The Empress is so cool! I wish I could be promoted too..."
"The pace is fast, the lines are fierce, and it makes me laugh to death."
“It has that smell!”
Although the reviews are divided, with both praise and criticism, the popularity is indeed there.
This is how comics are adapted into anime, it’s hard not to get criticized!
Moreover, many of the comment sections are under @Jingyue Game.
"Are you guys in the gaming industry or the film and television industry?"
“Is Jingyue starting to cross borders now?”
"After watching this episode, I want to go back and apologize again."
"MODs make me angry, animations make me confused, and games make me addicted... What on earth do you do, Whale Leap?"
…
Watching the news on the Internet one after another,
Lu Ming sat alone in the office, holding a half-empty can of Coke in his hand.
His expression was full of joy, satisfaction and refreshment.
"It's only June..."
"Wait for 'Misguided Path' to be released..."
"Then how much will the debt value increase by then!"
Lu Ming's eyes lit up and were full of anticipation!
