Of course, Eric did not have good intentions. He was only worried that Boss Pei would suddenly change his mind halfway through the preparation.

  If Boss Pei changed his mind midway, Eric’s preparation work would be wasted. No one wanted to work in vain.

  On the other hand, if Boss Pei verbally agreed before reading these terms, the possibility of him changing his mind midway was very high, even inevitable.

  That was why Eric specially reminded him.

  “Hmm… alright, I’ll read it again.” Boss Pei seemed a little helpless on the other end of the line.

  After two minutes, Boss Pei said, “Alright, I’ve read it again.”


  “These clauses are no problem overall. I completely agree.”


  “Of course, there are some things that are not appropriate.”


  Eric heaved a sigh of relief.

  This is it!

  At the very least, you should act like you’re bargaining. Who would dare to cooperate with you if you accepted everything so readily?

  Who doesn’t know that you, Boss Pei, are sinister and crafty and full of evil tricks?

  Boss Pei paused for a moment and continued. “I think there’s a problem with the cooperation method. The main problem is that it’s not written clearly.”


  “It says: ‘Through the game’s version, register an account for another game and bind the two accounts together through the in-game section.’ Then, must it be a registered new account? Can it not be an old account?”


  “As far as I know, many gamers in GOG have IOI accounts. However, they have not logged in for a long time.”


  “We have to tie in email, cell phone, and IDs when registering an account. What’s more, we can’t repeatedly tie this information to multiple accounts. If we already have an IOI account, it would be a little troublesome to register for a new account. What’s more, there’s no need.”


  “In my opinion, players who don’t have IOI accounts can register for new accounts. If they already have accounts, they can link them to their original accounts.”


  Eric was stunned for a moment. Then, he carefully considered Boss Pei’s question.

  It seemed… to be the case.

  In the past, many gamers were Dual Cultivation parties with GOG and IOI. However, slowly, many people began to lean towards GOG.

  Even so, their account in IOI was still there.

  According to the current registration rules, mailboxes, cell phone numbers, and ID numbers could not be repeatedly tied to multiple accounts, especially cell phone numbers. They were often the only mark of the account.

  Once the code was lost, he could use his cell phone to send a verification code to change the code. It was very convenient.

  In that case, if a GOG player already had an IOI account and wanted to participate in this event, would he have to register again?

  Obviously not.

  For gamers who had already accumulated a certain amount of wealth in IOI, they could not continue playing with old accounts. Instead, they had to create new accounts to obtain rewards. That was too inhumane. It would create a huge obstacle for them to transfer from GOG to IOI.

  This was obviously the opposite of IOI’s original intention for participating in this event.

  Thus, just as Boss Pei had said, he should not restrict only new accounts to participate in the event. Instead, he should extend the scope to all accounts so that old gamers who had played IOI before could use this opportunity to return.

  What Boss Pei said made sense, but Eric fell silent again.

  That was because he felt that something was amiss!

  Eric had been relieved when Boss Pei said that there was “something wrong” just now. He felt that Boss Pei was finally going to start bargaining. Things had become normal.

  However, he now knew that Boss Pei was not bargaining. He was obviously thinking about IOI!

  Things had become even stranger!

  Eric felt that the best solution now was not to study this plan at all with his understanding of Boss Pei. He should not think about the motive behind Boss Pei’s actions because it would probably be meaningless.

  He should have hung up directly and rejected the cooperation!

  However, the problem was that Eric did not have any autonomy now. He was just a mouthpiece.

  What’s more, this event was a global one. He was only the person-in-charge of the China region. He could not decide whether to organize this event or not. He had to ask for instructions.

  Eric wanted to persuade the higher-ups to give up on this cooperation, but he could not think of a suitable reason.

  After struggling for a while, Eric said, “Alright, Boss Pei. I’ll report this suggestion to the higher-ups.”


  “If there are no problems, we will officially sign the agreement and cooperate.”


  Eric had figured it out. Since he was only a mouthpiece now, he had to have the sense of a mouthpiece.

  He would report the facts and let his superiors decide.

  If something really went wrong, they could not possibly blame it on a mouthpiece, right?

  …


  After hanging up, Pei Qian heaved a sigh of relief.

  Fortunately, there was still good news!

  He had to count on his good brother Eric every time he met with such a crisis.

  Last weekend, Eternal Reincarnation became popular without any accidents.

  Pei Qian might have been prepared for the worst but Teacher Qiao’s fancy operation pushed the evaluation of Eternal Reincarnation up a level, making it repeatedly jump at the edge of Pei Qian’s tolerance!

  However, these were no longer important to Pei Qian.

  If something unfortunate happened once, it would be a tragedy. However, if it happened 10,000 times, it would be a daily occurrence…


  The only thing Pei Qian cared about now was whether Eternal Reincarnation could complete its initial mission. That was to reduce Repent and be Saved’s sales to less than one-fifth of the month after it was released. That would allow Pei Qian to happily free Repent and be Saved.

  At first, Pei Qian was filled with confidence. However, from the looks of the current situation, he was unsure.

  It was all Teacher Qiao’s fault!

  Qiao Liang had closely linked Eternal Reincarnation and Repent and be Saved in the video. He said that they were two sides of the same coin. They were only complete together.

  This directly caused many players who had not bought Repent and be Saved to buy Eternal Reincarnation and Repent and be Saved together.

  The official platform also pushed out a bundled package at the right time, making Pei Qian’s situation even worse…


  All in all, whether Repent and be Saved would be free would depend on the bluff next month.

  Pei Qian could not wait to announce to gamers that as long as they did not buy Repent and be Saved this month, it would be free next month!

  However, this involved the internal rules of the system. He could not say it out loud.

  It was Monday. Pei Qian had been quite desperate about the current situation of Eternal Reincarnation. Fortunately, Eric had sent him good news.

  Dayak Corporation’s upper echelons made exorbitant requests.

  However, that was exactly what Pei Qian wanted!

  Pei Qian was especially satisfied with “GOG players can only receive specific rewards in GOG after spending a certain amount of time in IOI”.

  Simply put, gamers could spend on IOI and collect rewards from GOG.

  It was equivalent to GOG paying for rewards and encouraging players to spend money on IOI.

  The Great Transfer of Money!

  Thus, Pei Qian agreed without any hesitation. At the same time, he found a small bug for the other party very carefully so that the effect of the event would be better.

  Eric had to ask for instructions. If both parties wanted to reach a consensus, it would have to be tomorrow at the earliest.

  After that, they would have to sign the agreement, develop the corresponding event sections on the client, and access some data between the two games, including the account information…


  Fortunately, these contents were not particularly complicated. GOG’s “blood transfusion” to IOI should be done by the end of the month or at the beginning of next month.

  If he allowed his good brother to stay longer, Pei Qian himself would be able to stay longer as well.

  “Hmm… Dawn Games Platform won’t send a work report, but according to the previous plan, the evaluation house system seems to be officially released today.”


  “There’s no need to be nervous. We’re still in the early stages of preparation. The first batch of evaluators should be selected next month at the earliest.”


  Two weeks ago, Dawn Games platform released a relevant announcement about game critics on its platform. It began to make major changes to the platform’s recommendation mechanism.

  Many players were eager to try this. They began to play the game on the platform and write game reviews in private. They would post these game reviews after the platform’s modification was complete.

  There were three main criteria for a reviewer: the length of the game, the number of trophies, the number of praises for the game.

  There was an unofficial algorithm behind these three criteria. It was mainly to screen out players who maliciously scrolled.

  For example, if a player kept a certain niche game and used this opportunity to play a very long game, but he did not have a precious trophy and the game review articles he wrote were ignored, it would be useless no matter how long the game was.

  To proper gamers, the way to obtain the right to evaluate a game was actually very simple. It was to play more of a certain type of game, farm more trophies, obtain rare achievements, and write more high-quality game reviews.

  Today, the revised version of the exposed games platform was officially completed. It should be the peak period for players to be active and a large number of game reviews to be uploaded.

  “The initial popularity was actually expected.”


  “After all, the evaluator system is a beautiful system that cannot be criticized in all aspects.”


  “The key is that after operating for a period of time, under the temptation of benefits, would human nature be exposed? Would the powerful power to arrange the recommendation spots cause internal strife among players? The rules and system of the entire platform would be imbalanced and develop in an uncontrollable direction…”


  Pei Qian decided to take a look at the current situation of the Dawn Games platform.

  He did not expect the platform to become ‘deserted’. He only hoped that the popularity of the platform would be within a reasonable and controllable range.

  As long as he did not pull any stunts, it would be a small matter even if the popularity steadily increased for a period of time.

  “Yes, the number of active people on the website has obviously increased. The average length of online time has also increased.”


  “New players would be entering the various games. This might cause more games to be uploaded onto the exposed games platform… However, there shouldn’t be too obvious changes in the short term.”


  “The review article has been updated so much. How many reviews did these gamers write recently? Are they so free?”


  “It’s alright, it’s alright. There aren’t many reliable reviews. Most of them are just there to make up the numbers.”


  “Eh? Wait, what the hell is this!”


  At first, Pei Qian kept consoling himself that everything was within his expectations and that there was no big problem.

  However, he could not remain calm after reading the last message.

  “37 well-known game reviewers, including the UP Master of the well-known gaming area and the game reviewer, Teacher Qiao, have entered the Dawn Games platform!”
