“President Xu, I just heard you say that President Qin sends you photos every day. Can you… can you send me two of those photos?”
“What did you say?” Xu Zhi turned around and asked curiously.
“It’s… It’s nothing. Let’s go.”
The courage that Huang Meng had just mustered was shattered by Xu Zhi’s words.
Shaking his head, Xu Zhi did not care. He continued to walk towards the company building. Behind him, Huang Meng looked at Xu Zhi’s back with confusion.
…
After returning to the company, Xu Zhi first dealt with the matters after the establishment of the customer service department.
From the recruitment training to the configuration of various office equipment, all the preparatory work would take at least half a month.
The department had to ask Xu Zhi for many things in the early stages. In addition to Jumping the Line of Fire, Xu Zhi was so busy with all kinds of work. He could not stop working even for a moment.
When he finally had time to drink some water, Xu Zhi looked at the time. It was already past six o’clock in the evening.
He stood up and looked out the window. The weather today was gloomy as if a storm was brewing.
He returned to his computer and opened the Jumping the Line of Fire forum to take a look. The comments on it were all quite pertinent. Compared to before, there were many more comments that praised the game.
At this point, Jumping the Line of Fire thread had more than ten million registered players. At this rate, Xu Zhi estimated that this game would become the biggest hit in the Bluestar game market today.
It was getting late. Just as Xu Zhi was about to pack up and go home early, Ding Xiaomei suddenly sent him an email.
He opened it casually as he stood up, but the contents of the email caused him to sit back down again.
“President Xu, a bunch of videos that are slandering our Jumping the Line of Fire suddenly appeared on the Sweet Potato Video website. The number of views is quite high, and they suspect that it was done by another game company. Do you want to respond?”
The first thought that came to Xu Zhi’s mind when he saw this email was, ‘Did it come so quickly?’
With his experience from his previous life, Xu Zhi was very familiar with the way game companies slandered each other. These were all normal operations of game companies.
After all, the market was not so big. If one company’s game became popular, it would definitely affect another company’s games. Just like Real Battlefield 1, since yesterday, its daily activity had decreased a lot.
Although he had predicted it, Xu Zhi did not expect that the Jumping the Line of Fire that had just launched open beta yesterday would be followed by a large-scale troll army so quickly.
Opening the Sweet Potato Video website, this was Bluestar’s largest video streaming website. From movies and television to self-made reviews, it covered all the video categories.
When he entered the game review page, what greeted his eyes were rows and rows of reviews about Jumping the Line of Fire.
The titles were like this:
‘Jumping the Line of Fire: The birth of an epic-level crappy game!’
‘Selling a hero-level weapon for 999 yuan? Buying a string of code with so much money??’
‘The new game with trash-quality graphics has become popular. It’s an insult to the players’ aesthetic standards.’
‘Jumping the Line of Fire: A low-level game that relies on advertising and marketing!’
‘…’
Among these videos, the largest number of views had already reached two million. It was the review video with the title: ‘Jumping the Line of Fire: The birth of an epic-level crappy game!’
Xu Zhi immediately clicked on the play and watched it.
“Dear viewers, hello everyone. Today’s commentator, Teacher Li, has brought a new review video for everyone. Uh… First of all, after watching today’s video, you will definitely have an eye-opening experience with the operations of the domestic game manufacturer. At the same time, you will also sigh from the bottom of your heart. You will be wondering, why can a bad be so bad?”
At the beginning of the video, there was an unpleasant voice. It was as if the voice was deliberately suppressed in the speaker’s throat, making people feel very uncomfortable.
Xu Zhi continued to watch. Next was the login screen of Jumping the Line of Fire.
“That’s right, dear viewers, what you are watching now is a review video of an epic-level crappy game. First of all, the name of this game is called, called… Jumping the Line of Fire?? Uh, I can only say that the person who named it is really ‘smart’. Can you be a little more rustic?”
“Next, let’s enter the game. Okay, I logged in smoothly. Wait, what did I see? The quality of the graphics, this… Could this be an industrial defective product left over from the last century? This quality of the graphics really shocked me. I’m shocked for an entire year.”
“Don’t worry, let’s take a look again. Maybe the game manufacturer is doing this on purpose. I’m going through the beginner’s tutorial, it seems that the quality of the graphics hasn’t changed much. Well, no hurry. Let’s exit and come back again. We can enter the room again, exit again, and enter again. Eh, it doesn’t seem to have changed much! No way, I have nothing. Can you believe that there are still games with such crappy graphics produced at this time? It’s actually an online game?”
“When we open the mall again, everything seems to be normal… Well, normal my foot! What the hell is the golden shining hero-level weapon in the first row? I am again shocked for an entire year.”
“AK Kirin? M4 Thor? RPK coiling dragon? My god, this game is really a little genius for naming names. Why aren’t you called Death God or Zhang Fei? Doesn’t that sound even cooler? Speaking of which, if this was named ‘Dragon’, I wouldn’t criticize too much, as that’s pretty normal in other games. However, allow me, Teacher Li, to give a free suggestion to the company that produced Jumping the Line of Fire. Other than this Coiling Dragon, you could also name it: King Dragon, Red Dragon, Black Dragon, Fire Dragon, War Dragon, Fierce Dragon, Black Dragon, Sky Dragon, Dragon Slayer. After listening to my suggestion, little friends, do you feel that these are even cooler?”
“Huh?” Seeing this, Xu Zhi was a little shocked. Could this Teacher Li have transmigrated like him? How did he know these names? These were all names from his previous life. It was just that he had not used them yet.
He continued to watch. At this moment, this Teacher Li was holding an AK Kirin. He carefully ridiculed the external effects and even bought a new one. Xu Zhi thought to himself that this Teacher Li had invested a lot of money to make this video.
“Alright, dear viewers, I also endured the pain and bought an AK qilin. Looking at the lighting effects, I feel like I have returned to my childhood when I held a toy gun named ‘Pewpew’. I feel younger already. I just want to say… 999 for a gun, can’t you make it a little bit more realistic? Have you seen a game gun that can emit light?”
“That’s fine. Everyone, look at the gun’s attributes again. Other than gaining experience, it could also add a crazy amount of bullets. Could it be that I am actually playing an immortal cultivation game? Have I had transmigrated to the Xianxia world? Oh yes, there’s something else worth mentioning. Based on the current price of pork, this 999 AK Kirin is enough for me to buy 100 grams of pork. After rounding it up, in order to buy this gun, teacher Li had lost 10 kilograms of pork. Everyone, remember to give me a thumbs up for this video.”
“Okay, now, let’s enter a game. This is a Team Competition mode. Don’t panic. Those who have watched my previous videos all know that I am an expert in any game or mode. This kind of situation is nothing. Watch me do an eight-kill combo..”
