Chapter 194 - The Plan in the Notebook (1/2)

At Tengda Games…

Pei Qian flipped through his little notebook. There were two more people he had to make arrangements for.

Actually, the first name on Boss Pei’s little notebook was not Lin Wan. After all, Lin Wan had only helped him save hundreds of thousands of yuan in rent. He could easily spend all of that money now.

What’s more, considering the two hundred thousand yuan Lin Chang gave to him, Boss Pei had to be lenient in dealing with Lin Wan.

The first name on the little notebook was Qiao Liang!

The week before last, when The Lonely Desert Road was updated, Teacher Qiao praised Tengda once again. As a result, Pei Qian nearly hired someone to murder Teacher Qiao.

Ever since Tengda Games released The Lonely Desert Road until it released Game Designer and the new downloadable content, Teacher Qiao had been like a relentless ghost.

Ever since he began looking into Teacher Qiao earlier, Pei Qian had not figured out a good way to deal with him.

Qiao Liang lived in Beijing, but he was not a local of Beijing. This made him a mere migrant worker there.

He should have been living a difficult life in the beginning. After joining Aili Island, his living standards improved significantly because he was able to depend on the incentive plan and everyday sponsored partnerships. He could even afford to decline low-end sponsored partnerships.

Basically, ever since he recommended Game Designer under the Products of the Gods series, Teacher Qiao freeloaded off ‘performance-art-style of marketing’. After that, he unknowingly managed to rake in sponsored partnerships without doing much else.

It was all very strange. Other UP Masters were scolded as they accepted sponsored partnerships. However, when Teacher Qiao did the same, the bullet screen comments were filled with praise for his ‘good performance’ or ‘good artwork’!

When other UP Masters saw this, they became overwhelmingly envious.

Yet, someone as special as Teacher Qiao was unique. There would be no second Teacher Qiao.

For this exact reason, Teacher Qiao was immensely grateful towards Tengda Games. After all, he had only been a slightly popular UP Master before this. Now, he was one of the most popular UP Masters on Aili Island’s games channel. This was all because he stood on Tengda Games’ shoulders.

For all Pei Qian knew-once they released their new game, Teacher Qiao would jump onto it at lightning speed.

At first, Pei Qian wanted to use money to orchestrate the collapse of Teacher Qiao. This was possible, but there was still the problem of what would happen after that.

It was true that Teacher Qiao was in need of money, but what would Pei Qian ask him to do after buying him over?

Could Pei Qian ask him to produce videos that dissed Tengda’s games?

That would be very unreasonable. What’s more, Pei Qian feared that no matter how hard Teacher Qiao tried to diss the games, the audience would see it as large-scale performance art.

Could he ask Teacher Qiao never to create videos about Tengda’s games again?

If he spent money purely for this purpose, Teacher Qiao might begin to doubt Pei Qian’s true motives. This would run contrary to his objective to keep the System’s existence hidden.

Thus, Pei Qian found himself caught in a deadlock.

Asking Teacher Qiao to praise Tengda would be increasing publicity for it.

Asking Teacher Qiao to diss Tengda would also be increasing publicity for it.

This was disastrous.

Pei Qian understood that he could use money to orchestrate Teacher Qiao’s collapse. He could even make sure that Teacher Qiao would never be able to stand on his own two feet again. However, even if Teacher Qiao tried to make money lying down, it would be of no help to Pei Qian.

That was the most hurtful thing.

However, no matter what, he had to take revenge!

“Once the new game is published, I will use the rest of the budget to make sure Teacher Qiao completes the game a hundred times. That would be the only way to dispel the hatred in my heart!”

Pei Qian quietly looked down at the name in the second line of the notebook: Lin Wan.

Before this, he had already decided to send Lin Wan to Shang Yang Games. Now was the best time.

Shang Yang Games’ current framework was quite complete. Between Ye Zhizhou’s creativity and Wang Xiaobin’s experienced planning, they were not lacking people-at least for now.

However, Wang Xiaobin was the chief systems designer after all. He was wearing multiple hats. The current framework was somewhat unreasonable.
