Lu Mingliang ran over at once. “Boss Pei! Good news!”
“I realized that over this period, the volume of sales of our game has been increasing rapidly. Our reputation has also been showing signs of improving! I looked further into it and discovered that someone had indeed realized the meaning in this game that you created and the significance of the performance art-style of marketing you used!
“Boss Pei, your marketing strategy is amazing indeed! We did not realize it in the beginning, but everything was in your plan! Our game is finally being understood by gamers!
“Your efforts did not go to waste!!”
Boss Pei said nothing. His expression became dazed.
What was that?
Did my extreme joy just turn to sorrow? The volume of sales increased, and our reputation improved? Holy sh*t, how is that possible? I didn’t do anything!
And what the hell was ‘performance art-style of marketing’ supposed to be?!
What in the world is happening?!
Seeing everyone looking at him passionately, Pei Qian tried his hardest to maintain his cool. He put on an expression that showed he had everything under control and then said, “Don’t be over-excited. Speak slowly.”
Lu Mingliang handed his cell phone over to Pei Qian excitedly. “Boss Pei, see for yourself!”
Pei Qian took Lu Mingliang’s cell phone suspiciously. It was a video on Potato Web. It looked very popular, and its title was: First Episode of Products of the Gods: Game Designer and large-scale performance art! He glanced down at the content creator… Teacher Qiao!
Pei Qian put his earphones on and watched the video as the employees cheered and clapped.
Silence.
Confusion.
Shock.
He even began doubting life’s meaning…
1What the hell was happening?!
When he heard ‘performance art’, Pei Qian completely broke down. When he heard the analysis of Game Designer later on, he became completely speechless. What made him feel even more helpless was the comments section below!
Teacher Qiao, who had been cursed upside down, was now a performance artist. He had been given a new lease of life! Even his sponsored partnerships were no longer called sponsored partnerships. They were now being referred to as ‘paid art’!
1After this video of his became popular, his previous video and the video that other content creators posted rose to fame as well. More and more people were imitating them. ‘Qiao-logy’ did not become less popular because of this. Instead, during this period, it was becoming more popular. It was almost explosive!
The scariest thing was that Pei Qian could not explain any of this.
Even if he stood up and said that all of this ‘performance art’ business was nonsense and that he had just been trying to disgust gamers…
They would not believe him!
Not only would they not believe him, but they might even take this as a new form of art. Then, the entertaining netizens might spread it like wildfire and cause it to pop up as a hot search…
That would make it an uncontrollable mess!
Pei Qian watched the entire video, and his hands trembled.
This…
He was in deep trouble!
This was bad!
Lu Mingliang stood by the side, watching Boss Pei’s reaction and feeling moved. Indeed, Boss Pei had too much on his hands. Now that he had found someone like Teacher Qiao online who could understand him so well, it was understandable that he would be moved to the point that he was trembling.
1They could probably continue working with Teacher Qiao for future games. This was a beautiful win-win situation for them all!
Lu Mingliang continued, “Boss Lu, there is more good news. Earlier on, ESRO’s official platform sent us an article, specifically praising Game Designer. They have put Game Designer on the first page of their platform!
“After they saw the sincerity behind our game, they encouraged all domestically-produced games to be updated, so that they no longer modeled after foreign games. Whether in terms of gameplay or content, they greatly appreciated Game Designer. They even want to offer us good recommendation spots for all our future games!
“What’s more, many well-known game reviewers and leading players have given good reviews for our game. You’ve hidden many deep meanings in the game that even we did not understand. These people understood them all!
1“Boss Pei, our game’s reputation has turned over!”
