Chapter 1
Qiao Liang looked at the steaming instant noodles in his hand, then at the numbers in the chat log: a 3, three 0s.

"Three thousand yuan?!"

"What kind of nouveau riche company is this?"

Qiao Liang was stunned, because his usual video quote was probably around a thousand yuan.

Occasionally one thousand five, two thousand, but those often had many requirements and weren't common.

This time, the sugar daddy actually offered 3,000 yuan right off the bat???

After finishing this job, he could slack off for at least half a month!

Qiao Liang wasn't sleepy anymore: "No problem! Just tell me what kind of video you want."

With the money in place, everything was easy to talk about.

Lu Mingliang sent a document containing the video script written by Pei Qian.

"Teacher Qiao, this is the video script. The requirement is to explain and prepare materials completely according to this script. It's better if you show your face, but it's okay if you don't. The script cannot be changed; this is a prerequisite. There are no other restrictions. I will send you some in-game recording materials later."

Qiao Liang received the document.

After reading it, he had only one feeling.

Are you kidding me, or are you messing with me??

To read out lines that are embarrassing just to look at in a video?

And preferably showing my face???

Wouldn't that ruin my reputation?

We agreed to make money together, but you want to break my rice bowl!

Qiao Liang immediately replied: "I can't take it, I can't take it. Please find someone else. Although I am just a video creator without money, I also have dignity!"

The other party was silent for a moment.

"What about four thousand?"

Damn it...

Qiao Liang felt very depressed.

Look at how rich people are, the increased price is the same as the quotation from a normal company...

But this money is not easy to earn.

"Can I play your game?" Qiao Liang asked.

Lu Mingliang: "Sorry, the game is still in testing and cannot be released for the time being. But we can provide a lot of video material, enough for you to edit a video."

Qiao Liang was a little speechless.

Video material, script, the sugar daddy prepared everything.

It seemed like a very easy job, no need to use his brain to think about copywriting, no need to do too many video effects, just pinch his nose and read the manuscript, then match it with the game video, and send it out to earn four thousand yuan.

Everything was good, the only problem was the consequences of sending out this video.

I'm afraid it's not as simple as being scolded for "earning bad money."

This is "earning shit money," right!

Before Qiao Liang had thought about how to reply, the other party had already sent a lot of video material.

All of them were video materials from the game "Game Producer," without narration.

Mainly because the video itself needed the video creator to dub, he couldn't run two audio tracks together, so Pei Qian asked Lu Mingliang to record the video material after removing the narration.

Qiao Liang clicked on the first video segment, and it was running.

The second video segment was still running.

The third, the fourth...

All of them were running!

It's just that the details of the room were a little different, and they were entering different doors. Qiao Liang didn't quite understand what the specific meaning was.

The game's graphics were very beautiful, very delicate, and the style was distinct.

In short, it looked like a beautifully packaged pile of shit.

Qiao Liang thought for a while and replied: "Um, let me ask, can I post this video in 'Trash Game Grand Rant'?"

The temptation of four thousand yuan was still great, so great that Qiao Liang could give up his persistence to a certain extent.

Of course, blatantly feeding the audience shit was a dead end and definitely wouldn't work.

But if it was posted in the "Trash Game Grand Rant" section, there was still room for maneuver.

Although the video had to read the sugar daddy's script throughout and couldn't be as sharp as usual, as long as it was posted in the "Trash Game Grand Rant" section, the audience would think it was sarcasm, that it was for the sake of the program effect.

That way, he wouldn't get scolded!

And he made money, a win-win situation, how great.

Lu Mingliang quickly replied: "Sorry, you can't."

This reaction was within Qiao Liang's expectations, because many sugar daddies didn't understand the inside story. When they saw the name "Trash Game Grand Rant," they didn't want their game to be on it. After all, who would want to admit that their game was a trash game?

But in reality, in Qiao Liang's own opinion, "Trash Game Grand Rant" was the foundation of his existence, and "This Month's New Game Recommendation" was completely just a tool.

The views of "Trash Game Grand Rant" were ten times higher than "This Month's New Game Recommendation." Many sugar daddies were repelled just by seeing the name "Trash Game Grand Rant," but they didn't know how influential this series was.

Therefore, Qiao Liang needed an example to convince the sugar daddy.

"I understand your concerns, but please rest assured that the influence of the 'Trash Game Grand Rant' section is definitely more than ten times higher than 'This Month's New Game Recommendation'! It will definitely be good for your game."

"You may not believe it, so I'll give an example."

"A few months ago, I accidentally complained about a domestic indie game called 'Lonely Desert Road.' As a result, after the complaint, the originally unknown game suddenly became popular. In two weeks, sales reached more than 200,000!"

"By the way, what was the name of that company... Please wait, let me check."

He had made so many rant videos, it was impossible to remember the names of all these small indie game companies.

Qiao Liang opened the official platform search and quickly found the game.

Looking at the producer again: Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd.

"Huh?"

Qiao Liang felt like something was wrong.

What was the name of this sugar daddy again?

He flipped through the chat log.

Wasn't it Tengda?!

Qiao Liang looked at the company's other games, including "Ghost General" and "Seabed Fortress."

Qiao Liang was dumbfounded.

Of course, he had heard of "Ghost General" and "Seabed Fortress," but his focus was mainly on single-player games, so he didn't study these two games or pay attention to which company made them.

Now he found out that they were all Tengda!

The small company that could only make indie games a few months ago had transformed into a sugar daddy!

This, this script is not right!

Qiao Liang quickly wanted to recall the chat message, but found that the time had passed and it couldn't be recalled.

Qiao Liang: "..."

Embarrassing, very embarrassing!

Quickly save it.

Qiao Liang added: "That's right, that's your company's work! I didn't expect that I would have a successful collaboration with your company!"

"In that case, your company should be very clear about the influence of the 'Grand Rant' section. Posting the video in this section will definitely have a good promotional effect!"

Soon, Lu Mingliang replied.

"So, you have worked with our President Pei before? That's great!"

"Please wait, I'll ask President Pei for his opinion."

President Pei?

It sounded like the boss of Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd.

Could it be... he was the producer of "Lonely Desert Road"?

Hmm... very likely!

A few months ago, Tengda was still an unknown small company. "Lonely Desert Road" was their first game, so the producer of this game, even if he wasn't the boss, must be an important partner...

Then it was probably this President Pei!

So, the question is.

President Pei... wouldn't he hold a grudge, would he?

After all, I ruthlessly complained about his game at that time!

Qiao Liang panicked instantly.
