Chapter 4: The end of the holiday

October 7th. The last day of the holiday. Lu Li took his hands off the keyboard and breathed a sigh of relief. He finally completed Chu Xiaodong’s task. He sent the file to Secretary Long and received a “good” reply from the other party. Later, Secretary Long replied: “Great job! I will notify you as soon as there is progress!”

Workplace people of a certain age like to add exclamation marks when typing, and I don’t know why.

Lu Li logged into the “Valve Platform” and checked the game store page he made. He uploaded the DEMO version of the game to the Valve Platform on the first day of the holiday. For independent game producers, it is the most cost-effective approach to first launch the beta version of the game to attract traffic.

There are only thirty or so downloads in total, which is normal. Games like this that have no publicity are the most difficult to get started, and it has nothing to do with the quality of the game. Some good games are often discovered after seven or eight years, but unfortunately by that time the producers have already changed their careers because they can’t make enough money. Among these thirty or so downloads, it is estimated that three or four were clicked by mistake, a few were clicked randomly, a few were automatically downloaded by crawler robots, and a few were UP hosts who specifically look for shit games to make programs.

There are also two comments.

One is a serious player evaluation: “The art is too bad...”

Lu Li couldn’t help but feel ashamed. Is the art bad? He just drew it casually with a drawing tool, mainly because he couldn’t find a suitable artist. However, this comment is a good one, which means that this game is not satisfactory except for the art design.

Another comment is not very serious.

“Rubbish game! Not as good as the next door “Black Wolf’s Ring”.

The user name is a string of garbled characters.

There are only two types of people who would say this, one is a troll, and the other is Chen Jianing.

Lu Li didn’t expect that Chen Jianing really surfed the Internet 24 hours a day. Whenever there was a game that competed with her, she would go to the other party and curse. This “Black Wolf’s Ring” is Chen Jianing’s self-entertainment work, charging 60 yuan, and there are a lot of bad reviews. Chen Jianing interacts with the haters in the comment area every day.

There is no one else who left this comment except Chen Jianing.

In his previous life, he also contacted Chen Jianing after the trial version of the game was released, which was just in the past few days. Lu Li was so angry that he opened Chen Jianing’s private message panel and sent a message saying “plagiarist!” For entertainment creators, the most destructive word is “plagiarism”. Chen Jianing certainly didn’t plagiarize, but it didn’t stop Lu Li from disgusting her.

Unexpectedly, Chen Jianing replied quickly.

“Who did you say plagiarized?! FNNDP!”

If you only look at the text, you can’t guess that the person who typed this sentence is a pretty girl. Chen Jianing’s social account gender is male, the avatar is Orochimaru, and the personal signature is “Shushu is also working hard today!” The composition is very complicated, and it is impossible to associate this guy who posts abstract quotes every day with “female”.

In fact, this girl is a super social phobia, so she only dares to release herself on the Internet.

Lu Li deliberately teased her, so he typed: “You can’t even copy it! 90% of the bad reviews of the game dare to advertise everywhere!” He could imagine Chen Jianing jumping up and down while typing and laughing.

Sure enough, Chen Jianing sent a long string of self-defense words, and Lu Li replied with two words:

“I’m anxious.”

Classic, urgent, filial, clam, and numb are the five-word mantras for online quarrels. There is no need to see what the other party is saying. Just send it when the other party is talking for a long time, and you can be invincible in spirit. It is an upgraded version of the spiritual victory method. If the other party really takes you seriously, then they will be upset. There is no doubt that Chen Jianing is such a person.

“Silly egg! Do you dare to send out your address? I will send you some local specialties!”
