Chapter 1 You're Saying All This... Is This Still My Terrifying Manor?!

After watching this video, Pei Qian had only one feeling.

You've said so much… is this still my Terrifying Manor?!

"Terrifying Manor uses game design concepts to grasp the psychology of tourists, creating a dimensional reduction strike against other haunted houses"?

How the hell would I have thought that after Chen Kangtuo was put in charge of the haunted house project, he would actually integrate game design concepts into it!

I simply wanted to punish him for working overtime!

"Haunted houses are meant to provide excitement and stimulate the body's functions for tourists"?

I didn't have such thoughts, I simply wanted to get revenge!

As for the last point, it's even more outrageous. I priced it this way to make less money, how could it become the finishing touch?

Outrageous, too outrageous!

Pei Qian felt as if every pore on his body was leaking milk.

This Qiao Laoshi was simply pouring milk into President Pei's mouth with a milk truck!

Pei Qian himself was a little embarrassed by the praise.

Such a ridiculous video, no one would actually believe it, right?

They wouldn't really be fooled by these few words and come to the Terrifying Manor to be abused, right?

Don't disgust me, players, don't be deceived by him!

Pei Qian was very worried and watched the video again.

But the video was released too recently, and the comments were mostly about getting to the front row, so there wasn't much content.

Pei Qian had no choice but to go to sleep first.

He would wait until he woke up tomorrow morning to see the messages and comments on the video, and then decide whether to take some measures.

…

…

10:00 AM the next day.

Pei Qian woke up, and the first thing he did was grab his phone and check Qiao Liang's video.

Seeing the number of views on the video, Pei Qian was instinctively shocked.

But comparing it to the data of his other videos, he felt it was okay.

Obviously, Qiao Liang, as a well-known up-loader on Aili Island website, has a large number of fans. Even a new series of videos would receive widespread attention within a few hours of its release.

But clearly, the popularity is still far from the "Deification" column.

Many game players click in and find that the content is not about games, they will not continue to watch, and directly click x.

So far, the video's popularity still makes Pei Qian relatively satisfied, and it has not been on the total list of the entire site.

What made Pei Qian even more delighted was that the comments under the video did not show a one-sided phenomenon like the "Deification" series of videos. Most people still held a cautious wait-and-see attitude towards Qiao Laoshi's remarks.

Casually glanced at a few high-rated comments.

"Well said! But I won't give you the triple tap for now. When the Terrifying Manor becomes popular, I will definitely come back to give you the triple tap!"

"I still believe in Lao Qiao when it comes to games, but haunted houses... I'll wait and see."

"You're right, but I won't go (dog head)"

"Let me say a few fair words! I am completely on Lao Qiao's side. I completely believe that this is not a sponsored video, because Lao Qiao is always open and honest about his sponsored videos, never hiding them. But! I have reason to suspect that Lao Qiao has suffered severe mental trauma in the haunted house, so he wants to drag us down with him! Everyone, don't be fooled!"

"Damn, you upstairs seem to have seen the truth, Lao Qiao is taking revenge on society!"

"Son, we understand your good intentions, we'll let you go in our stead and have a good experience in the Terrifying Manor! We won't go!"

Seeing these comments, Pei Qian was overjoyed.

Although he had just woken up, he was full of energy.

Judging from the feedback from existing viewers, this video did not have a one-sided effect.

It must be said that everything Qiao Liang said was very confusing.

But the biggest problem with this is that he made a prediction, saying that the Terrifying Manor would definitely be a hit in the future, which is very reckless.

What if the Terrifying Manor doesn't become popular, or becomes popular slowly? Wouldn't that mean that everything in his video is wrong?

All arguments will fall apart!

Look, look!

The eyes of the masses are discerning!

Qiao Liang, you want to deceive our smart and wise people? It's just a pipe dream!

However, there were some discordant voices in these comments, such as this one.

"A live-action *BeQuiet*? Sounds very interesting! I'm going to book a ticket right now! Jingzhou, here I come!"

Pei Qian suddenly realized a problem. Many of Qiao Laoshi's fans are players of Tenda Games, and *BeQuiet* has gathered a lot of die-hard players so far.

Due to the particularity of the game *BeQuiet* (complicated pre-set, complex gameplay), it is not discussed much on the Internet, and its popularity is relatively low compared to other Tenda games.

However, every *BeQuiet* player is a die-hard fan with extremely high stickiness!

In other words, they are hardcore players who are most easily incited by this video!

Pei Qian considered it and felt that this was indeed a big hidden danger.

Currently, everyone in Shang Yang Games should be preparing for the competition, but what if they suddenly had a whim, paid attention to *BeQuiet*, and made a link with the Terrifying Manor?

This is a high probability event!

Thinking of this, Pei Qian hurriedly called Ye Zhizhou, wanting to simply ask about the recent preparations for the IOI competition and mislead his thinking.

If the workload there is not saturated, then arrange some other work, in short, don't think about *BeQuiet* and the Terrifying Manor.

The call was quickly connected.

"Hello? Ye Zhizhou. How is work lately?" Pei Qian asked pretending to be casual.

On the other end of the phone, Ye Zhizhou seemed to be slightly stunned.

"President Pei, everything is going smoothly here!"

"Oh, wait, President Pei, you called specifically... Could it be that you want to ask about the collaboration between *BeQuiet* and the Terrifying Manor?"

"President Pei, don't worry, that has already been settled! Qiao Laoshi's video has already been posted on the announcement and official website homepage of the game *BeQuiet*!"

Pei Qian: "???"

Already put the video on *BeQuiet*?

You're too fast, aren't you?

The video only came out last night, and you already posted it when you went to work this morning?

You must have worked overtime!

Pei Qian was shocked and then angry. Good, Ye Zhizhou, I finally caught you!

"You worked overtime?" Pei Qian said in a deep voice.

Ye Zhizhou was stunned for a moment: "Ah? No. Qiao Laoshi sent me the website last night, and I only posted it when I went to work this morning."

Pei Qian was speechless for a moment: "So fast? It's impossible to post a video on the official website in just over an hour, right?"

Ye Zhizhou smiled and explained: "President Pei, do you want to check our grasp of the company's strategic intentions?"

"These activities have been prepared long ago!"

"Since we saw that the 'Escape from Despair' project of the Terrifying Manor is so similar to *BeQuiet*, we have long known that there must be a collaboration! This is obviously arranged by you in advance, President Pei!"

"So I arranged for someone to make this activity when Qiao Laoshi was making the video, and as soon as the video came out, I posted it!"

"President Pei, don't worry, most people in the company are busy with the IOI competition, and the progress is going smoothly. This aspect of work has definitely not been affected!"

Pei Qian: "..."

He seemed to understand why Guan Peisheng didn't give a warning.

Because Guan Peisheng obviously focused his work on staring at the IOI competition project. Compared with that, posting a video on the game's official website is too trivial and not worth paying attention to at all!

Pei Qian originally wanted to mislead Ye Zhizhou, but Ye Zhizhou was too fast, he had already finished it before Pei Qian thought of it...

Pei Qian wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he had nothing to say.

"Okay, then it's nothing."

…

At the same time, Terrifying Manor.

Chen Kangtuo observes various data every day, including the number of visitors, the number of people experiencing each project, and so on.

Hao Qiong was also watching Qiao Laoshi's video and said, "Qiao Laoshi is really working hard this time, he directly guaranteed the credibility of his up-loader for the Terrifying Manor!"

"Although I also believe that the Terrifying Manor will be a hit, Qiao Laoshi's courage is still worthy of praise."

"Should we give him some... hard work fee?"

Chen Kangtuo thought for a while: "In principle, we shouldn't let Qiao Laoshi work for nothing, but..."

"I'm afraid that giving money will tarnish his pure friendship with President Pei."

"I think we should forget it, talking about money hurts feelings, we should think of other ways to help Qiao Laoshi."

"What do you think about giving him a VIP status with lifetime free experience of all subsequent projects in the Terrifying Manor...?"

Hao Qiong thought for a while: "Well, that's good! Since Qiao Laoshi likes the projects in the Terrifying Manor so much, he will be very happy to get this VIP status and experience them for free!"

Chen Kangtuo took the notebook next to him and wrote it down, then looked at the contents recorded in the notebook.

"However, the tourists have pointed out one thing very well, that is, our current queue situation is a bit serious."

"Tourists are basically gathered at the 'Escape from Despair' side, and the long waiting time will greatly affect the mood of the play."

Hao Qiong didn't care too much: "Didn't Qiao Laoshi already say that? In a few days, most people will be diverted to the latter two projects, and this queue situation should be improved soon."

Chen Kangtuo shook his head: "That's right, but we can't do nothing. What if one day it's not the first project that's full, but the third project? It's too passive to pin our hopes on tourists to adjust themselves."

"I think we should create an App queuing mechanism like the shared phone booth. After arriving, take a number, check the queue position in real time on the App, and during this time, you can go shopping in the Golden Maze, go to the restaurant to eat, or experience other projects first, and then come back to enter when the queue is almost up."

"In this way, tourists don't have to queue up tediously, and it can also bring more traffic to the surrounding supporting facilities!"

"Moreover, the shared phone booth has actually proved that this method is feasible!"

Hao Qiong nodded: "Well, this idea seems good. Then, should we directly use the App from the shared phone booth?"

Chen Kangtuo thought for a while: "It may not be able to meet our requirements, we still have to change it. We must find a department with strong App development capabilities."

"Otto Technology? The development ability is no problem, but they seem to be busy with the Image Laboratory, and may not have time. Moreover, it's a bit wasteful to let them do this kind of function."

Chen Kangtuo thought about several departments of Tenda that have the ability to develop Apps, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he found the best candidate.

"I know, let Xue Ba Kuai Lai do it!" (Xue Ba Kuai Lai = Study Master is Coming Quickly)

Xue Ba Kuai Lai was originally specialized in making Apps, has a very good Internet thinking, and the most important thing is that Xue Ba Kuai Lai project seems to have nothing to do recently!

Everything is just right.

Thinking of this, Chen Kangtuo immediately picked up his phone and contacted Yu Pingan, the person in charge of the Xue Ba Kuai Lai project.
