Chapter 1321 - The Lucky Draw Prepared Exclusively For Teacher Qiao!

November 20th, Tuesday…

Last weekend, Pei Qian stayed at home and watched the competition for two days.

GOG and IOI’s two competitions were very exciting.

Scrolling through the forums after watching the competition was double the happiness.

Until now, IOI’s global finals had been doing well. It had completely met Pei Qian’s expectations.

GOG had a huge advantage at the beginning. The live-stream platform had maximized the recommendation resources and squeezed IOI to various corners. The offline viewing activities were also done like fire. However, IOI was not unprepared after all.

From the view of the competition venue this time, Dayak Corporation and Finger Games spared no more than the previous time in order to save face. Thus, there was no obvious difference from GOG’s international invitational tournament.

To IOI’s gamers, watching the competition was necessary. Thus, even though there was a gap between live-stream platforms and live-streaming competitions and GOG, they still had to watch it.

Passers-by who were observing from both sides would be more affected.

Pei Qian did not expect IOI to be so sharp. He just had to withstand GOG’s sharp attack in the early stages.

IOI should still have a chance to show off when the finals enter the latter half of the competition.

Pei Qian had walked around the office on Monday, but nothing much had happened.

The various departments’ work was progressing steadily. There were no abnormalities in the work report.

He had also noticed the promotional video posted by Home Corporation, but he did not pay much attention to it.

He might not have a good impression of Home Corporation but it was not illegal for them to publish a promotional video. It would not have any substantial connection with Sloth Apartments or Tengda’s industries. It was fine to publish it.

Pei Qian had more important things to consider now, such as the arrangements for the second episode of the Suffering Travels.

After the first batch of members returned, the Suffering Travels was temporarily in a rest period. Zhu Xiaoce had already booked the air tickets to return to China. He would be able to rush back within this week.

Pei Qian was very satisfied. It looked like his twelve gold medal recall were quite effective. He still maintained perfect control of Tengda.

On the whole, the people in charge of Tengda could still be controlled by him other than when the Heavens were not doing their job well and there were some freak combination of factors.

When Zhu Xiaoce returned, the person-in-charge of the second batch of the Suffering Travels would be present. There would be three vacancies left.

Once everyone was here, special training would be arranged immediately. They could not waste any time.

After all, if this episode of Suffering Travels was delayed for one more day, the next episode of Suffering Travels would start one day later. Time was squeezed out!

Now, Pei Qian was thinking about how to fill in the gaps. What’s more, Qiao Liang and Ruan Guangjian were among the people who would fill in the gaps.

Pei Qian had intended to tell Qiao Liang himself by using his Great Deceit.

However, on further thought, the success rate of doing so would definitely be very low.

After all, there had already been a promotional video for the Suffering Travels. Everyone basically knew what the Suffering Travels was about and what it was like.

Who was Qiao Liang? A veteran gaming geek!

In terms of homebodies, he was at most slightly weaker than Bao Xu, but not much weaker.

It would be too difficult to fool such a person into Suffering Travels.

What’s more, there has been a negative factor recently. The VR game, ‘Real Estate Agent Simulator’, was about to be officially released.

Other players might not know this news, but it was impossible for Qiao Liang not to know since he had a close relationship with Slow Movement Studio.

Qiao Liang must have hoped to play this game as soon as possible and produce a video or something.

At this critical juncture, if he were to cut off his internet connection for two months and suffer outside, Qiao Liang would definitely reject him. No matter how glib Pei Qian’s tongue was, the chances of him getting him to move would be very low.

Ruan Guangjian was relatively easy to deal with, but it was still unknown if this Suffering Travels would make Ruan Guangjian suffer.

Thus, Pei Qian had to bluff Qiao Liang into coming.

First, it was to make Qiao Liang suffer. Second, it was to make Qiao Liang unable to make a video of the real estate agent simulator. It would greatly reduce the chances of this game becoming popular.

“What can I do to make Qiao Liang come voluntarily or be forced to participate in the Suffering Travels?”

“It would be best if he could do two things. On one hand, it would make him feel that he would lose out if he did not come. On the other hand, it would put pressure on him by his surroundings, including his fans and friends, so that he had no choice but to come.”

“Under what circumstances would he feel that he would lose out if he did not come? Suffering Travels itself might not work. It can only give a unique label and meaning to the suffering travels and give the person who participated in this trip a unique identity…”

“Aha!”

Pei Qian thought hard for many days and finally thought of a solution that was effective.

He immediately called Yu Fei over.

“We’ll organize a lucky draw immediately.”

“The range of the lucky draw is for all Tengda Games players. As long as players who register a Tengda account and log in to Tengda Games recently have a chance to participate.”

“Tengda accounts have V-certifications. These verified accounts are based on the size of their contributions to Tengda Games and set different weights. Those who do not have V-certification are to set different weights according to the length of the game, the contribution, and so on.”

“We’ll draw according to the weightage. We’ll round up the total number of prizes drawn until we win Qiao Liang and Ruan Guangjian.”

“Then, we will rank Tengda Games based on the contribution of these accounts. Those who are ranked at the top will be given priority to participate in the Suffering Travels.”

“Then, tell Bao Xu to announce the plan for the next stage of Suffering Travels.”

“From the third episode onwards, Suffering Travels will allow outsiders to register freely. Bao Xu will decide on the fees himself.”

“After recruiting outsiders, the upper limit of the number of people on Suffering Travels will be increased to 20. The configuration will be changed to: five Tengda employees, five lucky players from the lucky draw, and 10 people from the outside world to sign up.”

“Amongst them, Tengda’s employees and lucky players are free.”

“The applicants from the outside world have to pay for themselves. What’s more, they have to be screened. They don’t want those who don’t meet the criteria.”

“Internal employees, lucky players, and registration personnel from the outside world are in three different lines. Line up separately. You can participate when you reach the line. Post a schedule function that can be checked at any time so that everyone can roughly know which episode you are in so that it can be easier to plan and arrange the schedule.”

That was Pei Qian’s plan for Teacher Qiao.

If he said it directly, Qiao Liang would definitely be able to tell that this was a trap and would definitely reject him on the spot.

The key was that Suffering Travels itself was not tempting at all. How could it be possible for Qiao Liang to give up the opportunity to play the release of the real estate intermediary simulator and go to the sewers to eat dirt?

Therefore, he would organize a lucky draw and package it.

Theoretically speaking, the lucky draw would involve all Tengda players. The probability of drawing Teacher Qiao was very low, but the rules could be slightly modified.

Tengda’s account had a V-certification, Qiao Liang and Ruan Guangjian had both entered V-certification. Both of them had made huge contributions to Tengda Games with their identities. This weightage would definitely skyrocket.

It would be very easy to draw the two of them during the lucky draw because of weight.

Tengda’s gamers, excluding foreign gamers, already had more than ten million users in the country alone. That was not even including standalone games that had a million sales.

Even if he were to draw 10,000 people in this group of people, it would only be one in a thousand, or even one in ten thousand.

Thus, there were two labels for the people who won the lucky draw this time.

Tengda’s ultimate veteran gamer and the lucky winner!

At that time, the people who would be selected would either be lucky winners among lucky winners or people who had made huge contributions to Tengda Games’ development. No matter what, the scarcity of being selected would be enough to brag about it on WeChat moments for a year.

Qiao Liang had always thought highly of his identity as a hardcore player. He would definitely be excited if he was really selected.

What’s more, the results of the lucky draw this time would be made known. At that time, all of Qiao Liang’s fans would be able to see him on the rankings.

At that time, even if Qiao Liang did not want to come, his fans would definitely not agree. They would kidnap him even if they had to.

Who did not want to see Teacher Qiao suffer?

At this point, he still had to worry about Qiao Liang not coming?

This was an open plan. Qiao Liang might feel that something was amiss but he had no choice!

It was the same for Ruan Guangjian.

The only pity was that it was impossible to lure Li Shi over. That was because Boss Li did not play Tengda’s games. It was unrealistic to want to draw him from the lucky draw.

If he did it behind the scenes, it would be too obvious. Thus, he could only give up helplessly.

The third spot would be left to the lucky players!

In any case, those who were selected and ranked so highly after being ranked were definitely people who were qualified to be recorded in Pei Qian’s notebook.

The meaning of the number of people selected was that if Qiao Liang and Ruan Guangjian were selected on the 1,500th draw, then they would be selected to 2,000 and 2,000.

That would be more natural so that Qiao Liang would not realize that it was actually targeted at him.

Of course, these lucky players were free of charge. The system did not give them a warning because this could be seen as a return to Tengda Games’ players.

After all, the people who were selected had either contributed a lot of popularity to Tengda Games or contributed a lot of money. What’s more, the probability of being selected was very low. It was very reasonable to give back to this small benefit.

The remaining 10 registration personnel from the outside world had to fork out money, and the cost would not be low. This ensured that there was a channel for profit for Suffering Travels and met the system’s requirements.

With the official announcement of this lucky draw event, the registration of the outside world for the Suffering Travels would definitely be opened. The price would definitely have to be confirmed.

Once the high price was announced, most people would not sign up.

Who had nothing better to do than to spend money to torture themselves?

However, he could not rule out the possibility that some people’s brains would suddenly cramp up. It should not be a problem to gather dozens of people to register for something.

Thus, Pei Qian had also explained to Bao Xu in advance to write the relevant rules on the website clearly. The schedule could be checked at any time. Even if the Suffering Travels was used to incur losses, these necessary steps could not be omitted.
