Tsk! Feng Chen raised his middle finger towards Jian Weiliang's back, then turned to Du Ge and said, "Brother, you should be honest. We agreed that you won't post the video yourself..."
"Brother Fengchen, I think the name of your video is not very good. Even if you spend money to buy traffic with such a name, it will not be popular." At this time, Doug had already opened the video that Fengchen had just released. It had zero clicks and zero views. There were many similar videos under Fengchen's name, and the clicks were at most in the double digits.
Doug also watched some of the popular videos at the top, most of which were competitions between well-known senior pilots. The titles were all quite standard, and some were Gu Qingyan's combat videos.
It can be said that these all rely on the celebrity effect to gain traffic, and they are basically regular news bodies, and are not poisoned by clickbait titles at all.
"What's wrong?" Feng Chen was planning to leave, but stopped after hearing that.
"'Treasure rookie kills examiner in three seconds in mecha entrance examination', such a title makes people lose the desire to click in." Doug shook his head and said, "I think it should be changed to 'Shocking, the most embarrassing scene in history, the intermediate pilot actually did this with the rookie in the examination field', 'Shocking, the intermediate pilot was beaten by the rookie in the examination field, I am afraid I will not be able to log on to the battle network again', 'The strongest rookie in the entrance examination, the examiner's chest was blown open', 'What did the examiner do wrong to be beaten like this'..."
“…”
Fengchen was disdainful at first, but as he listened to the titles that Dug came up with, he became more and more excited.
He kept licking his lips, completely shocked by Doug's title.
at this time.
He felt a brand new door slowly opening in front of him, and behind the door was a broad road glittering with golden light.
For a long while.
He came back to his senses, rubbed his hands and said, "Brother, are you studying marketing?"
"No, I'm a mechanic." Doug said.
"Mechanic?" Feng Chen's voice rose eight octaves. "Fuck, you're actually a mechanic. Why don't you do publicity instead of being a mechanic?"
"In fact, I would rather become a robot warrior, but my mental strength level is too low, so I can only come to Battle.net to satisfy my craving." Doug sighed and said, "Brother Fengchen, I'm just giving you a suggestion. If you think it's inappropriate, don't take it to heart..."
"Brother. Let's be friends and pass it." Fengchen looked at Doug and sent a contact request. Before, he felt that Doug was just a lucky newcomer, but now, he felt that Doug's brain was worth his investment.
"No." Doug shook his head and refused. He smiled shyly, "Brother Fengchen, I don't mean anything else. You know I'm a mechanic and I'm still in school. I like to calm down and study technology. I don't like to communicate with others. Besides, I think a man's romance lies in the stars and the sea, in the torrent of steel, and should not be fettered by these mundane things in life to move forward..."
Being low-key means being consistent and sticking to it to the end.
Fengchen's publicity level is too low. Listening to his conversation with Feiying, Doug judged that he was probably unwilling to spend a lot of money to buy traffic.
If the videos made by this guy are allowed to ferment naturally, who knows when they will become popular.
Maybe in a few days, there will be no news at all.
In order to quickly expand his influence, Doug had to give him a reminder, but it was just a reminder. He would never have any substantial interaction with Fengchen.
Otherwise, what's the difference between him promoting himself?
Once his relationship with Fengchen is exposed in the future, he will appear to be both a righteous and a weak person, and his entire personality will collapse.
so.
The hype can only be done by strangers who have nothing to do with him, which can better highlight his low-key and mysterious nature.
Moreover, Doug believes that as long as the clickbait model becomes popular, people will naturally follow suit.
By then, he only needs to show his presence in a high-profile manner, and there will naturally be no shortage of people to help him hype it up...
In the new media industry, it is enough to be a low-key guide.
"Brother, you've narrowed your path." Feng Chen thought carefully about the topics that Duger had mentioned, and felt that it was not difficult for him to figure them out, so he stopped insisting on becoming Duger's friend, shook his head and advised, "Technicians also need to communicate with others to make their lives better."
"It's probably my personality! I like quietness and don't like my life being disturbed by others. Brother Fengchen, I'm sorry." Doug said with a smile.
"It's up to you." Feng Chen smiled indifferently, "If the video goes viral, don't blame me for not giving you a share of the money."
"No, I don't need much money." Doug smiled calmly, raised his hand, turned around and left. "Brother Fengchen, I hope you can make a lot of money. I'm leaving now."
"Goodbye." Looking at Doug's figure going away, Fengchen shook his head and sneered, "You are a fool who doesn't want to make money..."
But soon, he put Doug behind his mind, modified the title of the video he had just posted to the one Doug said, and chose to send it again.
Hesitated for a moment.
He still took out some Battle.net coins and bought some traffic for his new video.
Fengchen had a feeling that this video would go viral.
Moreover, Doug's advice opened a new door for him. He suddenly felt that he might have a better future as a video blogger than as a pilot...
…
After defeating the examiner, Battle.net will automatically issue Doug a junior pilot certificate.
With this certificate, he can move around in the primary section of mecha training, purchase mechas, compete with people of the same level, participate in various competitions held on Battle.net, and so on.
However, the primary level module is equivalent to a novice village, where some novices are active, and the mechas in the primary module store are mostly basic models.
You can say that.
There are just some amateur novices here entertaining themselves, and there are basically no experts.
Anyone with a little bit of ability will quickly pass through the Novice Village and enter the higher-level module to compete with opponents of the same level, improve their skills, and train themselves to adapt to various mechas.
In reality, it is very easy to get injured when practicing with mechas, and because the number of mechas is precious and limited, students will not be allowed to spend a lot of time on practical training.
so.
Most of the students’ mecha training is completed on Battle.net.
To break through from the primary module to the intermediate module, one must possess the ability of an intermediate pilot.
Of course, the abilities of the junior pilots in Battle.net refer to the junior pilots in the network who do not require much mental power, which are completely different from the junior pilots in reality.
A junior pilot in Battle.net might not even be able to walk steadily when operating a real-life mecha.
But in reality, pilots are prepared for war. There is only one way for ace pilots to become known to the public, and that is when they are covered with medals. However, these are far from satisfying people's curiosity about pilots.
The pilots in Battle.net are close to real life. There are all kinds of competitions, and pilots of all levels control mechas to engage in fist-to-fist competitions.
People will see all kinds of gorgeous operations and cool skills.
You can also bet on your favorite players and make a profit from it. This satisfies all people's fantasies about pilots.
Therefore, the ace pilot in real life might be worshipped.
But their fame may not be as famous as the star pilots in Battle.net.
certainly.
Ace pilots in real life usually have Battle.net accounts. After all, the original Battle.net was just a training platform, and pilots also need to have their own lives.
After all, Battle.net can increase everyone's interest in mechas, inspire people to hone their mental strength and strive to become real pilots, and it is the best publicity platform.
…
There are many students in the primary module. They wear various mechas and wander around the streets, occasionally performing some showy moves in the hope of attracting other people's attention.
But in Doug's eyes, these people's control of the mecha was just like that of a toddler, not at all entertaining. Their so-called showmanship was full of loopholes. He could even sweep across a street while driving a Haiyan.
Before entering the alien battlefield, Nan Youlong repeatedly told him to change his style, but Duger really couldn't slow down.
In his mind, a leisurely life is a sheer waste of life. Moreover, if he doesn't improve his attributes and develop his skills, he won't have any sense of security. It's too difficult to grow with the keyword "low-key".
Therefore, Doug had no intention of staying in the Novice Village.
He wants to pass as many levels as possible in the shortest time possible.
This is the fastest way to become famous.
He had already changed the rules of the alien battlefield. Doug believed that other alien warriors would do the same. Moreover, the army of the Hill civilization would arrive at the Green Star in two years. During the war, how could they have time to develop? ...
Different from the entry examination.
To advance to the intermediate mecha training module, pilots are required to bring their own mechas and pay a registration fee of 500.
The assessment content is also different from the entry-level one, and there is no need to test basic skills.
You can advance directly by controlling your mecha to defeat the examiner.
The examiners in the intermediate examination hall will not use the same mecha as the students. They will use their own mecha to fight with the students. Therefore, the level of the examiners that the students meet will vary, and it all depends on their luck.
But usually, the examiner of the intermediate module must have the title of intermediate pilot.
Being an examiner will be rewarded with online currency. In order to prevent high-level pilots from acting as examiners to bully newbies, online currency rewards are issued according to the title level.
Examiners with the title of intermediate pilot will receive the highest online currency reward. The higher the pilot level, the less online currency will be rewarded.
Generally speaking, few senior pilots come to the intermediate examination room to bully the newbies because it is not worth it.
During the battle, if your mecha is damaged, that amount of online coins will not be enough to repair it.
Just like the three Petrel mechas that Doug killed in the entry test, if the mechas in the entry test were not simulated, Jian Weiliang would have lost three thousand online coins.
The assessment for intermediate pilots in Battle.net is much stricter than the entry-level assessment.
In order to prevent collusion between examiners and students to cheat, examiners and students are assigned randomly.
The examiners will earn more coins by eliminating candidates, while the rewards for allowing candidates to pass are fewer coins. Therefore, even if it is just to make money, the pilots who act as examiners will do their best.
…
To take the intermediate pilot exam, one needs to prepare a mecha by himself, and Duger has 8,000 online coins saved by Lin Hong.
at this time.
He stood in the mecha shop, scanning the dazzling array of mechas. Most of them were entry-level light mechas, priced between one thousand and five thousand.
The price depends on the different focuses of the mecha and the different weapons it carries: for example, the petrel used by Douger during the assessment is characterized by its lightness. In order to maintain its agility, it sacrifices its defense and is equipped with only a broadsword and a machine gun, which carries only ordinary ammunition.
Therefore, Haiyan is a fragile mecha. Even the cockpit can be easily penetrated by bullets if you aim at the gap. Although it is an entry-level mecha, it is not easy to use well, so it is sold for only one thousand.
The Falcon, which is one level higher than the Haiyan, is also light, but its weight is one third higher than that of the Haiyan. In addition to the broadsword and machine gun, it is also equipped with a light cannon with three shells. Although it is also a fragile mecha, its defense and weapons are one level higher than those of the Haiyan. It is impossible for the Haiyan to shoot through its cabin with one bullet, so the price of the Falcon is as high as three thousand.
Above the Falcon, there is the Thunderbird, which sacrifices flexibility but has further upgraded defense and weapons, and costs up to six thousand; of course.
There are also higher-level mechas in the store, with blades that have been very well tuned for offense, defense, and weapon ratios, but they are priced at ten thousand, far beyond Doug's financial means.
Whether in the simulation field or on the alien battlefield, Doug has never had trouble with money.
But this time, because the key words were low-key, he gave the opportunity to make money to Fengchen, and didn't even ask Fengchen for the planning fee, so he was short of money and couldn't even afford a good mecha.
But then again, it would take a long time before sharing the profits after Fengchen’s video becomes popular. The feedback is too slow and Doug can’t wait any longer.
Alas! Douger sighed softly, and finally chose Haiyan.
He had enough financial resources to buy the Thunderbird.
But in Doug's opinion, spending an extra five thousand just for more weapons and defense is not worth it at all.
In his eyes, there is not much difference between Haiyan and Thunderbird, but using Haiyan to pass the intermediate module assessment should be much better than using Thunderbird, just like Fujiwara Takumi used AE86 to defeat many sports cars.
The strong sense of contrast can make his fame accumulate rapidly.
Jian Weiliang was killed three times by him with a knife and two guns. Douge felt that he had not yet fully unleashed the power of Haiyan.
…
Qu Yaqi.
A sophomore student in the Mecha Combat Department of Linhai University, she is an intermediate pilot. Due to her family background, she is keen to be an examiner in the intermediate mecha module.
She had already regarded being an examiner as a stable and easy job, so even though she already had the ability of a senior pilot, she had never gone to the advanced module for training. She still kept the title of a mid-level pilot and earned extra money in the examination room every day.
Because the online coins obtained by eliminating candidates are twice as much as those obtained by allowing candidates to pass, Qu Yaqi will give her all in every battle.
The pass rate of candidates under her name is the lowest, and this record has been maintained for eight months. Because of the low pass rate, she also won the honorary title of devil examiner.
…
"Haiyan? An expert or a green hand?"
Seeing the candidate information pushed to her, Qu Yaqi hesitated for a moment, and chose the most expensive Blade from the three sets of mechas she had accumulated. After assembling them, she entered the examination room.
Those who dare to use Haiyan to assess intermediate pilots are either newcomers who know nothing and are here purely to experience life; or they are super masters in school who want to be promoted quickly. They disdain to waste money to buy some ordinary mechas, and often choose the cheapest mecha to pass the level quickly.
Most of the people that Qu Yaqi met were masters of this type, so she would not take it lightly just because the other party used Haiyan, but would be more cautious instead.
It’s a piece of cake to let the other party pass.
At most she could make some money. If she was not careful, the other party might destroy her mecha and all her work for the day might be in vain.
But when Qu Yaqi saw the candidates standing loosely on the battlefield, her heart immediately returned to its original place.
After thousands of trials and tribulations, masters have basic requirements for standing postures and movements. On the battlefield, the mecha is always in the best fighting posture, and will choose the most suitable position for the mecha to fight. For a fragile character like Haiyan, he will generally choose to start in a hidden position...
How can someone be so careless as to stand on the plain and be a sitting duck? It's obvious that he has not received any systematic training and is simply a green hand who is here to give away money...
