The waiter turned and left with the menu. When Qi Feng turned around, he saw Qianyue still staring at him intently.
He coughed lightly, trying to get straight to the point. Unexpectedly, at that moment, Qianyue suddenly chuckled.
"Your ears are red."
"Ahem!" Qi Feng almost choked on his own saliva, "What are you talking about..."
Qianyue then said in an amazed tone, "It's even redder."
Qi Feng: “…”
Suddenly he coughed even more violently. Originally only the tip of his ear was red, but now the entire base of his ear seemed to be cooked.
Qianyue: "Are you okay?"
Qi Feng quickly waved his hand to signal her to stay away, then turned his head and covered his mouth with a tissue. After coughing for several seconds, he finally recovered.
However, perhaps because he coughed too hard, the man's face, which had always been emotionless, suddenly had a faint blush on it, and even his eyes were full of water.
——Although she knew that this word seemed a little inappropriate when used on a man, Qianyue’s intuitive feeling was this, and she even couldn’t take her eyes off it.
When Qianyue pinched the tip of his chin that day, he seemed to have the same expression, pretending to be stubborn and keeping a straight face while blushing uncontrollably.
Thinking back to his usual cold and aloof look, the strong contrast made Qianyue's heart suddenly start pounding.
Ah, it’s the heartbeat of the old pervert.
Qi Feng on the other end saw that she was still staring at him for such a long time, not knowing what she was thinking, and a trace of shame and anger flashed across his eyes.
He frowned and said in a deep voice, "Okay, stop looking. I'm here for something serious."
Qianyue is not to blame for this.
She smiled as if teasing a cat and said, "Just a reminder, you're sitting across from me. I can see you just by looking up. There's nothing I can do about it."
“…”
Qi Feng felt that the warmth on his face that had just faded away suddenly rose again.
——It makes me angry.
She knew clearly that what he said was not just literal meaning!
However, Qianyue knew when to quit. Seeing that the other party seemed to be getting really angry, she quickly put away her playful attitude.
Qianyue leaned back on the sofa and said seriously, "Okay, tell me what's going on."
Qi Feng was about to say something when a breath got stuck in his throat: "..."
For some reason, after the other party regained his composure, he didn't feel relieved, but became even more upset.
"Excuse me, this is your tea, please enjoy it slowly."
Fortunately, the waiter came up with a tray at this time, which eased the atmosphere a little.
In front of Qianyue was a cup of caramel chestnut milk tea, while Qi Feng ordered a cup of clear tea to reduce internal heat.
——This cooling tea comes just in time.
Qi Feng took a sip of tea, and his anger was suppressed a lot.
He said in a deep voice: "This instance is over. You should have received a notification, right?"
Qianyue was holding milk tea to warm her hands: "Hint?"
She paused, "You mean the mysterious incident?"
Qi Feng nodded and gently placed the teacup back into the saucer, making a crisp clinking sound.
"The game's beta is almost in its final stages. We're planning to introduce a live streaming mode. Based on our assessment, we think you would be a good candidate."
Qianyue took a sip of the warm milk tea and said without thinking, "Sorry, I refuse."
She thought it would be some kind of event, but she didn't expect it to be a live broadcast.
Although Qianyue didn't know much about the gaming industry, she had heard of the interdependence between them.
In a sense, whether a game can become strong and big is closely related to its game live streaming.
If a game becomes popular, it can attract anchors to broadcast it live. The more popular the live broadcast is, the more players will be attracted to play the game. This is a closed loop.
but……
Qianyue said, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. I have no interest in jobs that require asking for gifts to boost popularity."
Asking her to do live interactive broadcasts is probably intended to piss off the audience.
Unexpectedly, Qi Feng shook his head and said, "You don't need to do this. Our live broadcast directly captures the game screen and will not interfere with you."
"You just have to go about your business as normal within the game."
Qianyue didn't say anything, but her resistance was still very obvious.
Seeing this, Qi Feng did not force it, but he still had to explain clearly what needed to be explained.
"We don't let people work for free. The audience tips us 30% to 70%. But we can only withdraw cash, it can't be converted into game currency."
He held the tea, the steam rising from his mouth
It moistened her eyelashes, making Qianyue distracted again.
Qi Feng was completely unaware of what the person opposite him was thinking and continued to introduce:
"After the internal testing of the existing dungeon is completed, we plan to conduct an investigation in the recently popular Tianma Galaxy in order to prepare for the new dungeon."
"We plan to record the entire process and select players from the live streamers to go with us."
It was rare for him to speak such a long string of words in one breath, so he picked up the teacup to moisten his throat.
"Of course, if you don't want to..."
Before he could finish his words, Qianyue suddenly leaned over and grabbed his wrist. Qi Feng's movements were so unstable that he almost spilled the tea.
He frowned and scolded: "What are you doing?!"
Qianyue stared at him closely, changing her previous casual attitude and asked seriously, "Where did you say you were going to investigate?"
Qi Feng didn't know why her expression suddenly changed, but he still replied: "...Pegasus Galaxy."
He paused, "Planet 143."
“143!”
Qianyue's eyes lit up instantly.
“It’s actually 143!”
Planet 143 is a fairly famous small planet in the Tianma Galaxy. It has even been repeatedly selected as one of the "Top Ten Scenic Spots in the Universe."
Compared with the association's visit to Star No. 102, the exploration progress of Star No. 143 is faster, but this does not mean that the exploration value of Star No. 143 has decreased.
On the contrary, if an industry survey is conducted on "Which star in the Tianma galaxy do you most want to visit", Qianyue can guarantee that Star 143 will definitely be in the top three!
It’s a pity that the jurisdiction of the Tianma Galaxy is very strict. The association has been waiting in line for so long and only got the landing qualification No. 102.
If she hadn't known it was just a coincidence, Qianyue would have almost thought that the other party was here to save her!
Qianyue couldn't contain her excitement and asked, "How did you get the qualification?"
Qi Feng felt uncomfortable being held by her, "...You, you let go first."
Qianyue was startled, then realized that she was still holding someone else's wrist. She scoffed and let go, then saw Qi Feng secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Qianyue: ...
No way, who can resist such innocence?
Qi Feng coughed lightly and managed to regain his composure.
In fact, what he did this morning was related to this inspection.
"We were already waiting in line five years ago, and we just got the permit today."
Five years ago...
She had just graduated from college five years ago and was traveling around the wilderness border with the old guys in the association. It was not her turn to consider applying for qualifications.
Qianyue sighed, "No wonder you were reading the introduction of Planet 143 when I first came in."
It turned out to be premeditated.
She casually picked up the magazine Qi Feng had placed beside her. The cover read "Physical Geography," and it didn't look like something you'd find in a restaurant. Qianyue flipped through two pages and quickly found the introduction to No. 143.
The entire magazine was well-preserved and still looked brand new. Only a few pages showed signs of being flipped through, clearly someone had been studying these contents before Qianyue arrived.
Qi Feng was startled, "You saw it."
He hadn't expected Qianyue to be so observant. He clearly remembered that he had already closed the magazine when Qianyue first arrived.
But then I thought, the other person is someone who has been walking on the edge of danger for many years, so it is normal for him to have keen observation skills.
It’s just a pity…
Qianyue changed the subject: "So when we go to the Tianma Galaxy for an investigation, how will you select the anchors?"
Qi Feng didn't understand why she suddenly asked this again, but he still answered seriously.
"It's based on a combination of their abilities and audience appeal. We'll probably choose three to five people in total, but the exact number will depend on the final situation."
Qianyue understood.
Interstellar exploration is usually carried out in units of starships, and together with the various personnel responsible for the operation and maintenance of the starships, there are only about thirty people in total.
The number of people in the outbound team is usually around three to five. If the anchor also joins, in order to avoid any accidents, they will most likely be placed in different teams.
In other words, the number of accompanying players is determined by the number of teams. Only after the actual team personnel configuration is determined can the final number of anchor positions be determined.
Qianyue: So after saying so much, at this stage I’m just painting a pie in the sky for them.
Bai was excited.
Qianyue looked down at Star No. 143 in the magazine again, feeling a little shaken.
She asked, "Strength and popularity, is it enough to satisfy one of them?"
Qi Feng nodded: "That's the theory."
In fact, if it doesn't have any self-preservation ability, no matter how much the audience likes it, they won't want it - after all, planetary exploration is not an easy task.
Therefore, those so-called "lucky players" are actually players who have been carefully selected by them and have certain strength.
Qi Feng paused slightly, "Are you moved?"
Qianyue didn't say anything.
Qi Feng didn't force it. "The list of lucky players won't be announced until the next dungeon begins. You can think about it again."
If they really don't want to, they can also change people before the copy starts.
Qi Feng looked at the time and realized it was almost eleven o'clock. At this time, the waiter came over with the staple food and served the dishes one by one.
Qi Feng explained concisely: "I heard that you don't like ordering dishes, so I just ordered something casually."
As for who told it...it was naturally Qianyue's mother.
Qianyue suddenly remembered that there seemed to be another matter between them that had not been resolved.
Qianyue: "How is your communication with your family going?"
Qi Feng was silent for a moment, then lowered his eyes and said, "I've been busy recently and haven't had time to communicate in person."
He paused, "It's better to communicate face to face about this kind of thing."
Is this... explaining to her?
Qianyue's gaze lingered on his trembling eyelashes for a moment, and she suddenly felt as if she had grasped something, but it quickly disappeared.
"Too."
Qianyue nodded seriously.
"Then let me ask you one last question—first, look up and look me in the eyes."
What is this requirement???
Qi Feng was stunned for a moment, but still raised his head obediently as he was told and looked at her puzzledly.
Qianyue tilted her head with a smile.
"When the game ended, the system said someone would contact me. But then I thought, 'I don't think it's going to be that difficult to have the boss talk to me in person, right?'"
She paused, then leaned slightly closer.
"So, based on the investigation, who thinks I'm pretty good? Is it 'you guys' or 'you'?"
A few days later, the official website announced the details of the livestream, under the pretext of benefiting those who hadn't secured a spot in the beta test.
Qianyue glanced through it roughly and found that the content was roughly the same as what Qi Feng said.
But he is a boss after all, and the information Qi Feng told her is more than what is published on the official website.
"Fifty lucky players will be randomly selected to receive fixed camera positions, and another fifty camera positions will be randomly allocated at irregular intervals. Those who perform well will have the opportunity to receive more opportunities to appear on camera.
..."
Qian Chi pondered for a long time before finally saying, "Isn't it just a way to gain popularity? Just like those female celebrities."
Female celebrity?
Qianyue looked back at him silently, and Qianchi immediately sat up straight.
"Sister, don't look at me like that. I can assure you that I'm a good kid and I've never done anything like what you're thinking about!"
Qianyue was speechless: "...I haven't said anything yet."
Qian Chi's eyes accused: The danger value of your glance is worth more than a thousand words, okay!
Qianyue was too lazy to pay attention to him and continued to sit on the sofa and browse the forum.
Minutes after the news was released, the forums were already abuzz with comments, generally optimistic about live streaming.
A small number of people were unwilling to show up in the live broadcast and criticized the original post, but the official responded quickly, asking them to register their relevant information in a certain link and guaranteeing that random cameras would not appear around them.
Even if it is accidentally scanned by the camera, the system will automatically blur it, which is very user-friendly.
At the same time, Qianyue’s message bar also showed a red bubble of 99+ as usual.
After she finished the "Above the Wasteland" dungeon, she posted her own walkthrough there. Similarly, there was a tutorial for the Cat Ear Cave—of course, it was a tutorial link copied from a certain museum; Qianyue herself was too lazy to bother with it.
After experiencing the previous incidents, Qianyue had already anticipated that many people would come to scold her, and she was in a very calm mood.
However, what she didn't expect was that after clicking in, she found that many people were speaking well of her.
—"I feel it is well written and I benefited a lot from it."
— “After watching the video explaining the cat ear cave, I couldn’t help but sigh at the wisdom of the ancients.”
— “The cadet said he had something.”
— "I tried the method the OP taught me. Although I didn't fully apply it, the method for calculating the resource consumption rate was really useful. Thanks to the OP, I was able to prepare the resources in advance this time."
"They were able to prepare all the supplies before entering the venue? The upstairs building is indeed the work of a wealthy family."
—"Excuse me, this is really important. If you don't have everything ready, you can only buy it after entering the game. Duobao merchants are hard to find, so you can only buy from those unscrupulous merchants. I don't know when this trend started, but there are more and more unscrupulous merchants among players..."
Qian Chi suddenly sneezed, causing Qian Yue to stop and look at him.
The latter rubbed his nose and said, "Strange, I don't have a cold..."
He glanced at the time and suddenly jumped up from the ground, "Oh no. It's almost time."
Qianyue: "In a hurry to go on a date?"
Qian Chi: "Yes... ah no! It's the partner I told you about before. Last time we were chatting, we found out that we were both on the main planet, so we discussed meeting up."
Qianyue: “Oh.” It’s still a date.
Qian Chi: "I'm leaving first. I'll talk to you when I come back later."
Qianyue casually replied, "Be careful!" and continued to scroll down. As expected, apart from the initial false prosperity, she soon encountered negative voices.
—"Why hasn't the host been eliminated yet?"
— “Here we go again, aren’t you tired of pretending to be stupid?”
— "What a mess. I laughed out loud when I saw the first sentence. In a war dungeon, instead of thinking about defending your country, you just dig a hole and hide? Why not just dig a hole and bury yourself?"
"What's wrong with the person above you who's so foul-mouthed? Even the official website announced that this dungeon is based on the Battle of Fufeng City, and the focus is on post-war survival. And you're the only one bragging like that?"
—"The copy prototype is just a reference. Man can conquer nature, don't you understand? Did you know you were going to lose the battle, so you surrendered right from the start? If you're a coward, just be a coward. Stop making excuses for yourself."
The more Qianyue looked, the more speechless she became.
It is obviously a false proposition that a real battlefield and a game cannot be compared. However, this person named "Yi Fei Shang Tian" took advantage of the situation and succeeded in turning the entire post upside down by himself.
In the end, even Qianyue couldn't help but circle him and reply.
Jiujiudao Yue: "May I ask how many enemies you killed? Or leave your ID number so we can team up and have a face-to-face discussion in the next instance?"
When encountering such people, Qianyue always attacks them directly.
After a few minutes, the perpetrator did not show up, but a group of people appeared, pretending to provoke, but actually wanted to take the opportunity to form a team to curry favor with others.
—"I think you're nothing special. Only if you can help me win the next round without any effort will I truly respect you (dog head). ID number xxx"
— “That layer master has no ability, but I do. (Doghead 2.0)”
—"Can you please not make the conditions so difficult? We have to have a fight before we can form a team? Then I'm going to start attacking—OP, you big idiot! Why don't you come and join me!"
…
A few minutes later, the mad dog who had replied almost instantly still didn't show up. Instead, the official customer service suddenly disappeared.
Ten-Day Plan: I am the official customer service: "We have received reports from multiple players. Due to verbal abuse and deliberate provocation, the user @一飞上天 has been banned. He is not allowed to post again within ten days."
I'm the official customer service representative for the Ten-Day Plan: "Also, according to backend data, this user has killed 0 enemies in this instance. Young man, be careful with your words and actions."
After this message was sent, someone inside the Ten Day Plan company building quickly took a screenshot and edited the message, then breathed a sigh of relief.
I don't know why the people above would pay attention to a small quarrel, but...
He finally finished it before leaving get off work!
"Eater, get off work!"
