Chapter 46 This king crab is so filling!
After calming down and organizing his thoughts, Xiao Ming gritted his teeth and continued to ask questions.
“The second question is, can we get a refund?”
After Xiao Ming asked this question, everyone looked at him.
This is the most critical and core issue for the majority of players!
On the other side, Lu Ming's answer was also very firm.
"cannot."
"Why!"
"The prices of all items in the game are clearly marked. You have confirmed them before purchasing. We don't have any hidden costs."
"Strictly speaking, we didn't force you to spend money. Every penny you spent was voluntarily."
“So, refunds are impossible.”
Xiao Ming's face looked grim, and he stared at Lu Ming with gritted teeth.
But...what he said actually made sense.
They did top up voluntarily, and they paid for it themselves. The game didn't force them to top up...
If you don't charge money, you won't be able to play the game.
If they don't charge money, they can actually choose not to play.
For a moment, the three player representatives were unable to refute!
The atmosphere on the scene was deadlocked.
The player representatives were furious, but helpless.
Lu Ming tapped the table lightly and said with a smile: "But I also understand everyone's feelings."
"So, I'm willing to compensate everyone."
The three of them's eyes lit up and they were suddenly excited!
This trip wasn't in vain! Their collective blocking of the door was effective!
With so many people involved, there's finally an explanation!
How to compensate?
Lu Ming cleared his throat and said slowly,
"I can treat you to a meal."
""
The scene fell into deathly silence.
We came all the way here and we need a meal from you?
The audience in the live broadcast room almost burst out laughing.
"Oh my god, this wave of appeasement measures by Jingyue is simply amazing!"
"Big guys worked so hard to spend so much money, just to get a meal"
"I spent ten thousand krypton to finally get a job at Jingyue!"
"This guy really doesn't avoid people at all. There are so many people in the live broadcast room!"
“…”
The faces of several player representatives were so dark that ink could drip out of them.
"So, what you mean is... the money we spent is only worth a meal in the end."
Lu Ming nodded, then shook his head.
"That's not the case."
Continuing,
"You are all loyal players of Jingyue, willing to spend money to support our games. Although we cannot refund your money, it does not mean that we don't cherish you."
"So, we decided to arrange a VIP reception for you as a token of our gratitude."
"We cover accommodation, meals, sightseeing, and return tickets."
Xiao Ming frowned, still a little unwilling, it seemed that the direction of this matter was not right.
"But what we want most is a refund for the game."
Lu Ming's smile suddenly faded, and he said firmly, "Refund is impossible."
"I've said before that we don't have any cheating in this game."
"We will not and cannot open this loophole for any player."
"Otherwise, the gaming industry will not be able to continue."
Xiao Ming gritted his teeth and said, "Can the game be modified to increase the breakthrough probability a little bit?"
"cannot."
Lu Ming shook his head: "The core of cultivating immortals lies in breaking through the difficulty. If the breakthrough becomes easy, the fun of the whole game will be gone."
"Furthermore, the path to immortality is inherently one of life and death. You spent a fortune, yet still failed. This just goes to show that our game truly captures the difficulties of cultivating immortality."
"Cultivating immortals is not a path that everyone can take."
Several people were so choked by these words that they were speechless.
It's just a game, why are you so immersed in it?
They did spend the money voluntarily, and the game mechanics were indeed not rigged...
It's just that the probability is too real, so real that they don't even have the confidence to criticize the planner.
The negotiation lasted for more than ten minutes, but Lu Ming's attitude remained firm.
The barrage in the live broadcast room has become chaotic.
"A planning mouth, a deceitful ghost!"
"It's so tough, this gaming company is really amazing!"
"They're trying to cheat players out of their money, and yet they're letting players find reasons to accept it. I'm convinced!"
"When is dinner time? Is it too late for me to go now?"
…
The three representatives looked at each other, then slowly walked out of the office and started discussing with everyone outside.
Xiao Ming sighed deeply and looked at everyone helplessly.
"What should I do? This boss is too stubborn and won't give in at all."
"It's no use saying anything!"
"They all said we could ask the Market Administration Bureau to supervise!"
The players looked at each other in bewilderment.
Before they came, their expectations for a real refund were actually not high.
After all, no company would open this loophole.
They just want the game companies to see the attitudes of their players.
But you don’t change the value now.
There is really no other way!
At worst, we won't play anymore!
After figuring this out, everyone calmed down.
"What else can I do? I'm already here, I can't go back with an empty stomach."
"Yeah, since there's no hope of a refund anyway, why not have a good meal first?"
The audience in the live broadcast room also expressed their agreement.
"I came to Jingyue to seek justice, but ended up eating government food"
"Fuck, this is like the Hongmen Banquet turned into a player meet-and-greet!"
"The real version of eating this before leaving, it made me laugh to death!"
"I've already said it before, I don't approve of players blocking the door! The company will definitely not take players' suggestions seriously!"
After everyone agreed on the suggestion,
Soon, Lu Ming brought in Jingyue's senior management, marketing team, technical department, operations staff, and even the security guards who were there to maintain order.
Almost a hundred people.
Directly booked a high-end buffet restaurant.
Inside the restaurant, several player representatives sat at the dining table, complaining wildly while stuffing seafood into their mouths.
"Damn it, I can't play this game anymore!"
"Right, right, right. The boss of Jingyue is absolutely the most perfect capitalist!"
"That's disgusting... Get me another plate of lobster."
"Okay, help me get some of those oysters too."
"Who says it isn't? You betcha, this seafood is really fresh!"
"Although I ate his food, I will definitely not play their games!"
"Yeah, me too. I only have the energy to curse after I'm full!"
"I'll just eat all the money I paid back! It's a pity, this king crab is so filling!"
Everyone was cursing but never stopped working.
After eating and drinking, the player representatives sat on the chairs.
Touching his bulging belly, a complicated expression appeared on his face.
They came here to seek justice, but...
The meal was eaten, the hotel was booked, and the tickets were reimbursed.
The wallet is still empty, the game hasn't changed, everything remains the same.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Lu Ming clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention.
"How was everyone's meal?"
A group of players were lying on the chairs and disappeared, answering vaguely:
"It's okay...it's just so-so..."
Lu Ming nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile:
"Since you're full, don't rush back."
"The Magic City is so big, it's a rare trip, why not spend two days there before leaving?"
"I have arranged accommodation. It's a five-star hotel with a double room. The environment is nice."
"Also, I've reimbursed everyone's return tickets and airfares, so you won't feel like this trip wasted."
“???”
