Qing Shan Qu Zui
Chapter 1104 A Mix-Up!
“At least tell us the genre of the new game before you leave! Is this something a human would do?”
“Could Old Qiao be talking nonsense? *Mission and Choice* was just released two months ago, how can a new game be playable already? I don’t believe it.”
“Old Qiao isn’t the most reliable guy, but he never lies. If he says he’s playtesting a Tenda game, it’s probably true.”
“So, what kind of game is it?”
“I’ve always been looking forward to Tenda making an MMORPG! I hope President Pei can satisfy my wish!”
“I still prefer action games.”
“Let’s have another realistic masterpiece like *Struggle*!”
Everyone’s minds ran wild, guessing all sorts of game genres.
Since Qiao Liang didn’t give any clues, not even the genre, how could they possibly guess?
But one thing was certain: Tenda was definitely developing a new game, and it had reached the playable stage!
This alone was enough to keep everyone guessing happily.
Just as everyone was chattering and speculating, someone suddenly suggested a completely new perspective.
“I suddenly have a bold idea!”
“I don’t know if you guys have read the novel *Eternal Reincarnation*?”
“I followed it from beginning to end. It was already finished, but recently the author suddenly got a shot of adrenaline and started revising the novel with high intensity!”
“The key is, he didn’t just revise the plot, he also revised some of the basic settings.”
“Especially, he spent a lot of time describing the control of Qi (internal energy) in combat, the use of various weapons, and detailed descriptions of the protagonist’s movements and positions when parrying enemy attacks.”
“In addition, there were some additions to the plot, such as the protagonist’s demonic sword becoming weaker as he killed more enemies, his mind becoming clearer, and ultimately awakening, and so on.”
“At first, I thought it was a bit redundant, because the revisions were all about details, and didn’t have a big impact on the main plot. I even thought these newly added combat descriptions were a bit long-winded and detracted from the artistic conception of the battle.”
“But thinking about it carefully, if these revisions were for a game, it would make perfect sense!”
“The detailed combat descriptions serve the game’s combat system. The additions to the plot allow for a more complete story to be expressed through snippets of information in the game, so that players who haven’t read the original novel can understand the whole story just by playing the game.”
“It’s not realistic to develop a large-scale game from scratch in two months, but what if it’s developing a sequel to *Repent and Be Saved*?”
“Assuming they can use some of the existing monsters and scenes from *Repent and Be Saved*, then this timeframe is about right!”
“Besides, there’s another very important clue: Old Qiao was invited to be a playtester!”
“We all know that Old Qiao only went to Tenda once to be a playtester, and that was for *Repent and Be Saved*.”
“This time he’s going to be a playtester again, most likely for the sequel to *Repent and Be Saved*, because no other game would invite Old Qiao!”
After this intense analysis, the group of internet buddies were all shocked.
They had no words other than spamming “666” (meaning awesome).
Everyone said that the guy was amazing, how could he connect all of that?
And thinking about it carefully, this reasoning made perfect sense!
There are now three known conditions.
The author of *Eternal Reincarnation*, without much additional income, spent a lot of effort to revise the original novel, adding a lot of content about combat and plot details;
Qiao Liang revealed that Tenda’s new game has entered the playable stage;
Qiao Liang was previously invited by Tenda to be a playtester for *Repent and Be Saved*, and this was his only time going to Tenda’s internal playtests.
Moreover, the Inspiration Class was personally established by President Pei. It gathered excellent authors from the entire Zhongdian Chinese Website to create works around the IPs owned by Tenda, and *Eternal Reincarnation* is considered a relatively excellent work among them.
Now, there’s a possibility that can connect all the known conditions.
If Tenda is really considering using the plot of *Eternal Reincarnation* to develop a sequel to *Repent and Be Saved*, then it all makes sense!
Moreover, if we continue to dig deeper in this direction, we will come to some more terrifying conclusions.
As we all know, the works of the Inspiration Class of Zhongdian Chinese Website are not very successful.
The data listed on that ugly promotional picture already shows how bad it is.
But even a work like *Eternal Reincarnation* that is not very successful can be developed as the official sequel to *Repent and Be Saved*!
How many authors would be envious of that?
Qiao Liang’s fan group instantly exploded.
“I’m going to ask the author if it’s true! I’m still playing *Repent and Be Saved* to this day. If a sequel comes out, I’ll definitely buy it!”
“Damn, the author has been revising his writing silently, why didn’t he share such a big thing with us?”
“If that’s the case, then it makes sense. Other authors revising their writing must be stimulated, seeing that excellent works can have their copyrights developed, so they have motivation again!”
“I’m in Cui Geng, the Pigeon Master’s fan group. I’ll ask him, he must know something!”
Soon, this news began to spread to the fan groups of various authors on Zhongdian Chinese Website, and even the entire internet!
…
At this time, Yu Fei was still carefully revising the content of *Eternal Reincarnation*.
Although it was already Friday afternoon, he didn’t slack off, but instead was trying to make every second count.
Because in August, *Eternal Reincarnation* will be officially developed. With Tenda’s efficiency, it is impossible to delay, and the development schedule will be very tight.
There is less than a month and a half left.
Before the official development, Yu Fei must finish revising the entire novel.
As of now, although Yu Fei has already revised a lot of content, he doesn’t know how much content needs to be revised or how much time it will take.
*Eternal Reincarnation* is now the official DLC of *Repent and Be Saved*. President Pei personally designed it and greatly changed the game’s combat system. Success is almost guaranteed.
When players come for the reputation and see that the original novel is full of loopholes, wouldn’t that be terrible?
Therefore, he has to make every second count and absolutely cannot hold back.
After finishing the revisions, Yu Fei took out his phone and flipped through it, and was immediately overwhelmed by the messages.
“Author! Is *Eternal Reincarnation* officially selected to develop the sequel to *Repent and Be Saved*?”
“Is the sequel true?”
“You’ve been revising the plot so diligently lately, are you really turning fan fiction into official plot?”
All the questions were like that.
Yu Fei was stunned for a moment, then couldn’t help but smile.
Sure enough, he knew that this matter couldn’t be concealed. Even if he didn’t say anything, these people would eventually discover the clues.
However, Yu Fei was a little curious, how did they find out?
In the morning, he flipped through the discussions online, and most people were still guessing whether it was for a special recommendation or channel resources. No one thought about copyright development.
How did these people make this turn in such a short period of time?
Yu Fei randomly picked a manager from his group and replied, “Where did you get the news from?”
The manager immediately replied, “Old Qiao said it! He said he was experiencing the new work of *Repent and Be Saved*. This game can be played, so it must have been in development for a while! This source is quite reliable, right?”
“So it’s true? *Eternal Reincarnation* is officially selected to be released as *Repent and Be Saved*?”
“You’re really calm, you didn’t say anything about such a big thing, the game is almost finished and you didn’t say a word!”
“This time your work has been adapted into a game, other authors must be very envious, right? Does your Inspiration Class have one work made into a game every period?”
Yu Fei was confused.
Wait a minute.
What is going on?
*Eternal Reincarnation* was indeed selected by President Pei to be developed as a DLC for *Repent and Be Saved*, but it hasn’t started development yet? It will be in August!
Is Qiao Liang sure he is playing this game?
There must be some misunderstanding.
Yu Fei subconsciously wanted to clarify and tell everyone that the news was inaccurate. *Eternal Reincarnation* will actually start development in more than a month, and it hasn’t even been officially approved yet.
But as soon as he typed halfway, he suddenly realized a problem and quickly deleted everything.
That’s not right, can’t leak it!
If he clarified, wouldn’t he be leaking the copyright development of *Eternal Reincarnation*?
President Pei said that this thing must be kept secret for more than a month.
Now everyone is just suspecting, obviously there is no concrete evidence.
Yu Fei doesn’t know whether Qiao Liang leaked the secret, but he certainly can’t leak it from his side.
Otherwise, his chat records with others will definitely be spread on the Internet as concrete evidence, and President Pei will definitely be unhappy.
But what if he insisted that there was no such thing?
That’s not good either. What if the other party asks “Since there’s no such thing, then why are you revising your writing so crazily?” How would he answer that?
With the intelligence of netizens, since they have already suspected this, they must have discovered many clues, and denying it now will have the opposite effect.
Pretending to disappear is useless, and he will still be suspected.
Yu Fei thought carefully and it seemed that there was no good way, so he could only reply: “Don’t ask too much about this, the situation is more complicated, some of your guesses are even wrong, so don’t guess blindly.”
What he meant was that Qiao Liang must have made a mistake. *Eternal Reincarnation* will officially start development in more than a month, so Qiao Liang can’t possibly play this game now.
After replying, Yu Fei closed the chat box and decided not to reply anymore.
The more he says, the more mistakes he makes. Saying less means fewer mistakes. Replying with just this sentence should not be considered leaking the secret.
As for what netizens think, that’s their own business.
