Chapter 282 - Hurry Up and Arrange For What Happens Afterward (2/2)

Even if it was the end, he could at least salvage something.

Pei Qian slumped on the chair, and an air of melancholy surrounded him. Despite feeling melancholy, life must go on.

Pei Qian opened the forum and refreshed the page without harboring much hope. All of a sudden, he saw a post that made his eyes lit up.

“Huh? Are the fake reviewers finally doing their job?

“The money spent was worthwhile!”

While Boss Pei was busy making the calls, the fake reviewers were also busy working. Although hopes for a comeback were narrow, everyone did not give up. Many fake reviewers were still working hard. Some of them even missed the refund allowance period because they were too engrossed in their work.

However, even though they made huge progress in the game, they still could not find any good ideas to criticize the game.

Suddenly, a message in the chat group captured everyone’s attention.

“Guys, look at this post! It says that Pudu can only be used to fight specific monsters. It can only be used for the six realms of rebirth and existence ending. If we were to use it to fight enemies in the lowest level of hell or in Yama’s palace, the damage of the weapon would be greatly reduced! Do you think we can make an issue out of this?”

Hu Xiao was stunned. He opened the post hurriedly to check it out.

He paid extra attention to all the posts regarding Pudu as he hoped to clear the stages using Pudu as well!

It had been six days since the release of the game. Pudu was discovered two days ago, and it went viral yesterday.

Many talented gamers were almost at the last few stages of the game. Some players that used Pudu had also reached the last few stages.

According to the settings of the game, Pudu could only be used to clear the six realms of rebirth and existence ending. If it was used in the lowest level of hell or in Yama’s palace, the damage of the weapon would be no different from other ordinary weapons.

Therefore, players using the Pudu would discover the problems with the weapon once they cleared the Road to the Underworld and the Three-Life Stone and reached the stage where they would choose the different endings. However, what was there to criticize regarding that? Hu Xiao was slightly confused.

Many people in the group chat raised the question as well.

“What are we going to make out of this?”

“This is just a normal game setting, isn’t it?”

“No, I think this is a Trojan horse that the game company is using! It was meant to disgust the players! “They give us a weapon that could only be used to fight certain monsters. They are tricking us into thinking that the game is easy. However, after five hours, when the refund allowance period was over; the players would then discover that they would continue being tormented at the later stages of the

game!

“Therefore, this is a scam that prevents players from opting for a refund! The crux of the game remains unchanged. Its sole purpose is still to disgust the players!”

“What the hell?”

“This reason does not suffice, but it seems much better than those mindless critiques that we were using before.”

“I think what he says makes sense! Is the game company trying to disgust the players deliberately? Why would they choose to design the hidden weapon such that it can only fight specific monsters? Why did they not allow us to use the weapon for everything?”

“That’s right! I don’t care about this anymore. I think we should stir some debate using this piece of information. We cannot do nothing after accepting the customer’s money!”

Very soon, a trending post appeared on the forum:

“Pudu is a Scam! The Design Team Harbors Bad Intentions. Do not Fall for Their Trap!”

“Everyone knows that Pudu is very useful in the early stages of the game. Fighting the monsters was as easy as chopping vegetables. However, when you reach the later stages, the weapon is completely ineffective in fighting certain monsters. It becomes no different from an ordinary weapon! “Many people also discovered that this weapon cannot be upgraded.

“This is where the game company’s deviousness shows. They trick us into playing the game with this weapon. When the refund allowance period ends, it will be too late for us to regret it!

“I think that the designer is a psychopath. He or she designed the game just to torment the players. Do not fall into the company’s trap!

“Players who do not want to be tormented must avoid playing the game at all cost. If you have purchased the game, seek a refund quickly! Do not be tricked by the Pudu!”

Once the message was posted, the fake reviewers started springing into action!

Some were tasked to reply to the post while others were tasked to forward the post. Very soon, the popularity of the post soared.

Of course, the nature of this post was also trying to criticize the game mindlessly. Therefore, it did not speak to the players.

Nevertheless, with the efforts of the fake reviewers, the posts achieved some impact.

Many netizens who originally thought of playing the game because of the Pudu weapon changed their minds.

If Pudu could only be used at the early stages of the game and they had to suffer for most parts of the game, wouldn’t that be worse?

They had their fill of fun at the beginning, but they had to pay back for the stages that they cleared easily with the weapon at the later stages of the game. That discouraged many players from playing the game.

Pei Qian finally showed a smile.

The fake reviewers did a great job! My money was not wasted! They had actually found that reason to criticize the game mindlessly. That was not easy for them!

Pei Qian had the urge to pay the fake reviewers more for what they did.

Although the effects of the mindless criticism were not very impactful, it pointed out the fact that Pudu could only be used to fight certain monsters. That would definitely discourage many players with bad gaming skills from playing the game.

Even if it only managed to stop one of those people from playing the game, its achievement was still notable!

Pei Qian could not help but exclaim that the money spent on the fake reviews was indeed worthwhile!
