Chapter 238 I Can’t Suffer Alone

“Boss Pei is indeed Boss Pei. This could be said to be the highlight of this type of game!”

Li Yada was truly impressed as she felt deeply that she still had so much to learn. Of course, the only problem with Boss Pei’s move was it was hard to be discovered.

Li Yada even felt as if the chances of this happening were close to zero.

“Why did Boss Pei choose to hide it so deeply in the game? Was it really because six deaths represented the six realms of rebirth and existence while the seven represented enlightenment?

“That isn’t right. Boss Pei had also lowered all the stats of the old monk; the odds of players dying in the monk’s hands was extremely low.”

If it was the original settings and the old monk was as strong as a miniboss, many players would die repeatedly here and perhaps might actually do so six times speedily.

That way, this weapon would definitely be discovered.

However, now that the monk’s stats had been so reduced, even those who only had one hand would at most die once or twice by the monk’s hands.

After all, those who are really crippled would not be able to defeat the other easier monsters in the early stages; they wouldn’t have survived the journey to face this monk.

“Such a brilliant design, such a unique point of the game; and yet, Boss Pei doesn’t want many players discovering it. Indeed, Boss Pei is that unique.”

Li Yada sighed out emotively.

She had to admit that Boss Pei was not an ordinary designer.

Other designers would try their best to please players. Boss Pei, on the other hand, never bothered if he would be scolded by gamers or not.

A

Naturally, that didn’t mean that pleasing players was wrong and that torturing players was right. Li Yada just meant that Boss Pei had a very unique way of designing, and he didn’t expect players to be able to understand his train of thought. This was evident from Game Designer.

Although countless people were analyzing the deeper meanings behind the game, Boss Pei had never made any official clarification and explanation.

There was a saying that ‘a thousand readers had a thousand Hamlets’. Some authors believe that after a piece of work had been completed, it belonged to all readers; and the author himself didn’t have the only true interpretation.

Evidently, Boss Pei had a similar thought process for his games.

Although Boss Pei had done such a splendid modification to Repent and be Saved, he was not expecting that players would discover or chase after it.

In other words, in Boss Pei’s eyes, even if no one discovered his alterations and it continued to be buried for months or even years before someone managed to strike gold; that didn’t matter to him!

Perhaps, Boss Pei even hoped that it wouldn’t be discovered.

No wonder Boss Pei had repeatedly emphasized that this special addition to the game should not be broadcasted.

This was Boss Pei’s level of attainment!

Li Yada felt a little aggrieved that such a wonderful segment of the game might actually be buried; she felt really terrible.

However, she could understand Boss Pei’s heart and felt that she could not leak this information out.

Although she was very conflicted-after thinking about this matter repeatedly, Li Yada still decided to listen to Boss Pei’s instruction.

“What I can do now is try to perfect all the details in the game and try to erase the minor flaws that Boss Pei hadn’t managed to change in time. If a player really found out about this, he cannot encounter any bugs; I must give the lucky players the most perfect gaming experience!”

Li Yada adjusted her thick spectacles as she was filled with vigor all of a sudden. She seemed to get an inkling of why every chief planner that Boss Pei had promoted had so much energy and strength.

That was because someone like Boss Pei could naturally stir up emotional appeal such that people working under him would want to strive and push ahead!

At this time-in his office, this natural leader that could stir up emotional appeal and make people strive and push ahead… was looking at his own screen. He had an impulsive rage at this moment.

I’m so angry!

Although Pei Qian had already arranged his special weapon in the game, the weapon wasn’t omnipotent.

After having its stats altered, Pudu felt like the crescent blade in Dark Souls 1 to Pei Qian. Although ordinary attacks were not very handy and attacks were rather slow, it was good at smashing attacks.

At the same time, its attacking reach was long; and its damage was high. It was considered a rather perfect weapon.

When dealing with monsters, as long as a player diligently avoided their attacks and found an opportunity to stab and retreat, if this was done repeatedly; most enemies could be defeated.

Furthermore, Pudu’s damage was even higher than a crescent blade; it made the game’s difficulty level even lower.

The problem was… even after possessing this weapon-while players’ damage was increased significantly, monsters could aim and would aim, ultimately killing him. Hence, Pei Qian was still suffering. “How did I end up like this…?”

Pei Qian was feeling terrible.

No, this can’t do; I can’t suffer alone!

Pei Qian grew angrier and angrier as he thought of a name in his notebook.

Thinking about this, he took out his cell phone and sent a message to Assistant Xin.

“Contact Teacher Qiao and ask if he’s interested to try out our new game. Sign a contract with him saying that during the development phase, he would be the professional games tester. He has to play the game eight hours a day, and we will give him 500 yuan daily.

“En, he has to play the game for eight hours a day until the game is released. If he cannot take it and is in breach of contract, he wouldn’t get a single cent.”

Assistant Xin immediately went to make arrangements. Thinking about how Teacher Qiao would probably happily rush over to suffer together with him, Pei Qian felt much better!

Why was Pei Qian so sure that Teacher Qiao would come? That was because Pei Qian had already done his research.

After Teacher Qiao went to Aili Island – although his finances were in a better state, one would never say ‘no’ to earning more money.

Pei Qian’s offer would be attractive to Teacher Qiao in three aspects:

First was the monetary benefit. If there were twenty working days a month, Teacher Qiao would earn 10000 yuan.

Second was that Teacher Qiao could get a head start on experiencing Tengda Games’ new game. Regardless of whether he wanted to do a video on this game in the future or brag to his fans, Teacher Qiao would be ahead of other UP Masters.

Third was that Teacher Qiao would be able to see the real Tengda and Boss Pei.

He could earn money just from playing games; where else could he find such a good deal? Hence, Teacher Qiao would definitely accept the offer and come.

After playing for a few more minutes, Pei Qian tossed the controller on the desk; he had had enough suffering today. Although he wasn’t making much progress in the game, as he had already settled the matter with the special weapon, as long as he could continue grinding the game; reaching the six realms of rebirth and existence conclusion was just a matter of time.

As it was still a while before the game’s official release, he wasn’t in that much of a hurry.

Pei Qian held onto the express delivery he had received today and was prepared to return home to rest.

When he was at the entrance, Assistant Xin’s message reached him: “Boss Pei, Teacher Qiao has agreed. He said that he can come over this weekend. I will arrange for accommodations, meals, and transport expenses.” Pei Qian was very happy; things were moving very smoothly. It seemed like Teacher Qiao had not even taken time to think and had immediately agreed once Assistant Xin had finished speaking.

Pei Qian immediately replied, “Alright, we will cover all meals and accommodation; everything must be the best.”

Teacher Qiao was coming all the way here to suffer and for his mental state to be severely tested; Pei Qian naturally had to provide some material compensation.

Assistant Xin sent another text: “One more thing, Boss Pei. Zhang Zuting sent a Weibo message indicating his thanks to us. I have arranged for someone to use our official Weibo account to reply to him. “However, do you want to consider verifying your personal Weibo account?”.

Pei Qian had his own personal Weibo account. However, he just used it to surf the net and occasionally look at pretty girls. As it wasn’t a verified account, not one knew that it belonged to Boss Pei. Tengda, however, had an official Weibo account. However, it had just been created and someone from the administrative team was responsible for managing it; it wasn’t very popular yet.

Pei Qian declined decisively: “There’s no need.”

He did not intend to become a popular personality on Weibo; he wasn’t interested in this.

Pei Qian kept his phone and prepared to head back home to rest. After walking two steps, he felt that something seemed to be amiss.

He took his cell phone out again and opened Weibo to search for ‘Zhang Zuting’ and located the message he had sent.

“Due to work reasons, I have made a trip to Jingzhou. This time, I will be collaborating with a game company. Perhaps everyone would be able to see me online soon. Also, at a private kitchen in Jingzhou, I ate the most sumptuous meal in recent years; I strongly recommend it! If any of you guys are heading to Jingzhou, you must not give it a miss!”
