Chapter 369 Please criticize me! Please correct me! Please supervise me!
soon,
With the extremely rapid mobilization of several major forces of Jingyue,
Jingyue’s “Different but Beautiful” campaign has finally kicked off.
Early in the morning on the first day, the homepage of the Deep Blue Platform was completely revamped.
The originally cold recommendation column was occupied by a huge banner:
[Whale Leap·Different and Beautiful Event·Officially Launched]
【Criticism is not destruction, but another kind of love.】
We believe that every criticism is a spur to us from the players.
We firmly believe that true love lies not in flattery, but in criticism.
What we need to do is to hear all the voices.
As soon as the banner appeared, platform users clicked on it and were greeted by a series of dazzling promotional copy:
"Do you have any complaints? Then tell me!"
"For the first time, Whale Leap officially opened a direct access platform, so you can rant and rave as much as you want!"
"The copywriting, video, and dubbing are all available, and the review is sincere and heartfelt!"
"Giant rewards, limited to three days!"
Then, below is a dazzling list of rewards.
There are two types of rewards: physical rewards and virtual rewards.
For a time, the entire gaming community was in an uproar.
Players are spreading the news in major forums, communities, and chat groups.
"??? Is this whale leap crazy?"
"What's the point? I still don't understand. Is this activity organized by temporary workers?"
"Wait, there seems to be a prize? A T-shirt? A keyboard? The T-shirt I've been looking forward to for so long!"
"Spray me if you want, I'm an expert at this!"
At the same time, platforms such as Yinlang, Zhanyou, and Tieba were almost completely dominated by the same batch of promotional copy.
There is even a special promotional video on the Yinlang platform’s short video:
Each game that Whale Leap has released is displayed on the screen, with big words on the back.
Please criticize me!
Please correct me!
Please supervise me!
Finally, the picture freezes and a line of large characters appears:
"Only three days! If you miss it, you don't know if there will be a next season!"
"Excellent negative reviews will be included in the Jingyue 'Bad But Good Yearbook', allowing your sharpness to be recorded in history."
"This time, we are not only targeting Whale Leap games, but also Deep Blue Platform, Floating Shore Experience Hall, Whale Watching Lab, and all other Whale Leap-related projects!"
"Participate in this event and have a chance to receive a random entry from the new game "Certificate of Immortality" (limited, out of print, only for three days)."
The players were confused.
“???”
“????”
The question marks in the comment section formed a long dragon.
"Just...the promotional video has been filmed!?"
"I've never heard of that before!"
"Holy crap... there's a new game called 'Certificate of Immortality'?!"
"New game! Whale Leap has a new game!"
"So this event is a warm-up for the new game? That doesn't seem likely!"
“I don’t know what the random entry is, but the limited edition and out-of-print items at the end are very attractive!”
For a time, the entire gaming community was in an uproar.
"If I understand correctly, the purpose of the Whale Leap event is to attract criticism, right?"
"I still don't understand. Why are you asking for trouble?"
"Finally! Finally a game company acknowledges that I troll people out of passion!"
"Other companies have to apologize if you curse them, but Jingyue says: Come on, curse me, and I'll give you a prize!"
"You understand me so well! What I'm best at is finding faults!"
"Hahahaha are you serious?"
Just when everyone was complaining and hesitating, Jingyue dropped another bombshell news.
The introduction of the new game "Certificate of Immortality" is out!
[New game "Certificate of Immortality" preheating starts! ]
Participate in the Chaermei event and have a chance to get the exclusive entry for "Certificate of Longevity"
The picture is a minimalist black and gold poster, with no trailer or game interface.
Just a few simple lines:
What exactly is immortality?
Is it a fragment of the Three Thousand Dharmas?
Is it the obsession cultivated for thousands of years?
Or, the entries you wrote?
Life and death all depend on one thought.
Delete and start over.
Stay and persist.
Reincarnation after reincarnation, just for that unattainable... immortality.

At this moment, the players who originally just wanted to "win prizes by making complaints" were instantly stunned.
"It's really a new game?!!"
"Holy crap, is it about cultivating immortality? It's finally coming?!"
"Entries? Cultivation? I'm so curious what kind of game this is!"
“Following “Songmai Qiandeng”, a new mobile game is coming out!”
"Changsheng! I feel like the name is good, it's my type!"
The popularity of the new game directly led to heated discussions in various communities from early morning all the way to noon.
Some players’ groups are even more outrageous!
"Are you not afraid of the social media exploding?"
"There are prizes, entries, and new games. What's there to be afraid of? Let's go!"
"Just three days? Then I'll call in sick today."
"Stop talking, my fingers are already warmed up."
"Give Jingyue some advice? Give? I can! I'm really good at it!"
"Can I criticize you for slacking off at work?"
"Okay, remember to remain anonymous after you're done."
“No need for anonymity, real names are more powerful.”
"Brothers, are you taking roll call in class today?"
"For me! Today there is only one lesson: writing for the beauty of difference."
At noon, the Deep Blue Platform's activity page was updated again.
There was a countdown board hanging up, and the numbers were falling from "71:59:59", which made people feel itchy and hot.
Once the countdown comes out, it is more deadly than any marketing rhetoric.
Under the influence of various marketing tactics, all kinds of negative reviews against Jingyue finally came out!
"Actually, I've always thought the unit models in Ming Dynasty Decree were too ugly! Every time I play the game, it feels like I'm watching a horror movie!"
"The combat balance in Unstoppable Defense is a joke!"
"When will VIP members of 'Who Owes Whom' get the right to watch ads? The dungeon design is disgusting!"
"Can we find an art teacher to help with the modeling in "Kryptonian Xiuxian"? I really can't tell if some of the NPCs' faces are human or potato."
"The plot of Song Mai Qian Deng in the middle and late stages is too dense, and the story is a bit weak! Also, can you please stop using PowerPoint transitions for cutscenes?"
"Is there any new plot for 'Time Travel'? Aren't the enemies too gentle? Please change it so that if they hit me, I'm injured but I can still struggle. I'm a masochist and I love being masochistic."
"The plot design of 'Undercover Becomes Stronger' is actually quite good, but the reward mechanism is too outdated. The input and output are seriously disproportionate, and it's very tiring to play."
"The art style of 'Border Buddies' brings me back to a certain Chinese animation! Can you please stop using this kind of low-brow high-tech stuff? How can I feel immersed in it?"
"And this plot in 'More Than Sunny Days' was so intense that my high school Chinese teacher had to repeat the lesson after seeing it. Can you please be more realistic and say that people like this don't exist in real life?"
"The Floating Shore Experience Center is such a rubbish experience! The environment is terrible! It's so far from home, can you please maintain the cleanliness?"
“…”
Soon, there were more and more posts of various types, and the types became more and more complete!
And as time goes by, more and more players join in.
"I've submitted ten, and it still isn't satisfying enough!"
"Dude, you're a real troll. I give in."
The popularity of the Deep Blue event page skyrocketed, with over a million views within a few hours.
Just as the players were dealing damage crazily, at six o'clock in the evening, Jingyue released another big move.
[See you tonight at 8pm on the live broadcast of "Chaermei Open Mic Plan"! ]
[Tonight's first live guest: Zhou Yizhou! ]
[Head of the Whale Leap Negative Review Training Class and the Whale Leap Floating Shore Experience Center. Major works: "Time Journey" and "Misguided"]
As soon as the news came out, the entire community was once again in turmoil.
"Holy crap, Lao Zhou is really live streaming? Are you kidding?"
"Lao Zhou? This is his first live show! I have to go and see it!"
"Does being on the mic live mean I can just start ranting? He's the one we love ranting about the most! Hahahahaha!"
"So, Lao Zhou is here to be executed today?"
