Chapter 167

After chatting with Brother Long for a while, Feng Bujue logged off. Anyway, he couldn't join the queue for the time being, so he took this time to take a breath outside the game cabin and prepare dinner.

After playing a 2V2 killing game and a team survival mode that didn’t count as clearance, it was already dinner time. But let’s just say it’s dinner, in essence it’s just noodles... I heard from the editor that the payment for recording the TV show will be in the card in the next few days, but it’s completely unclear which date “these days” refers to. .

So every time Feng Bujue returns to eat, he will instinctively go to the computer first to check whether the money in his bank card has increased. If there is money in the card, he will definitely order takeout online immediately.

Of course, the result of this query is still...nothing.

It should be mentioned here that Feng Bujue does not have a credit card. In his day, applying for a credit card became a more troublesome matter. At the beginning of the 21st century, credit card fraud accounted for more than 80% of many economic fraud cases, among which cases of multi-card fraud using the cash-out function of POS machines accounted for more than 90%. Even in the era of universal citizen (network supervision) after the emergence of the third generation of optical computers, this proportion has not declined significantly.

When the POS machine usage mechanism cannot be changed or replaced, the government can only set up relevant regulations and impose certain restrictions on credit card applications. Although it is impossible to completely eliminate credit card fraud, stricter management has clearly paid off.

Citizens like Feng Bujue, to put it nicely, are writers; to put it worse, they are called vagrants, which is a compromise - written by zì yóu.

You can buy your own medical insurance and pay your own pension. As for buying a house or something like that, haha... Citizens in this situation can only apply for credit cards with very low limits, and no more than three credit cards can be in the same name. According to Feng Bujue's character, he naturally had no interest in doing that. If there was an emergency, he would just go and borrow the several thousand yuan from someone else.

In the novelist profession, most people live in poverty, and only a handful of them have made a fortune, while the vast majority of them may not be as good as Feng Bujue. At least Jue Ge can still support himself lazily, but he doesn't know how many passionate young people out there who have literary dreams live a life where they will go hungry next month if they can't write. Bearing the blank stares from family and friends, and feeling resentful that I was not appreciating my talent, my passion for telling stories gradually turned into a habit of trying to match the number of words, and my attitude toward other authors changed from appreciation to jealousy and hatred. Day after day, I continued to behave in this way. I wrote in an impetuous state, and finally realized that I had entered the wrong industry when I was young... The social environment determines that writers have to bow and compromise to some business rules. In this world, if you want to get ahead in any profession, you must struggle. Even if you achieve a certain degree of success, you can often only make ends meet. Huge success only belongs to a very small number of people. And those who struggle but fail, or who don't struggle, will really starve to death, and they will starve to death in shame, because these days there is no society to sympathize with losers.

When writing novels, you also have to consider real life. Money has become the first criterion for measuring the value of a man in this society. No matter whether this person is a nouveau riche, a rich second generation, or a corrupt official, even if this person is a scumbag, even if everyone knows that his money comes from a shady way, even if he is crazy and psychopathic, as long as he is not imprisoned at a young age. If you get up, someone will still put your hot face on it.

As the saying goes, a poor person living in a busy city has no connections, but a rich person living in the mountains has distant relatives. No matter which era, the truth has not changed.

Like most middle-class children of this era, Feng Bujue often lamented that he was born in the wrong era. In the past, the Republic of China should have been more suitable for his age. It will be too late, when all human organs except the brain are replaced by machines, and drinking two liters of synthetic motor oil can provide half a year's food, he will still be able to enjoy true equality and harmony.

But unfortunately, he lives in the 21st century, which is called living on the threshold. In this era, to paraphrase a line from a certain movie: "In the world that adults enter, nothing is easy." In fact, life is not easy for children nowadays... Feng Bujue can be considered to be more open-minded. , just live like this. When it's time to cook noodles, when it's time to eat noodles, maybe something in the unknown shadow in Yao's mind explodes and it's all over; or maybe after the explosion, he transforms into a mutant, and then he becomes famous and prosperous... It's possible. In a word, if you are not satisfied with your life, any factors that may change the status quo can become something worth looking forward to.

"The air quality in S City has improved in recent days, and heavy pollution is expected to turn into moderate pollution..."

"The plan to expand the parking lot within Metro Line 9 was shelved due to a construction accident..."

"A fifteen-year-old girl posted photos of her first night online to buy a new mobile phone..."

While cooking noodles, Feng Bujue turned on the TV, listened to all kinds of deceptive news, and continued to do what he was doing indifferently.

After working for more than ten minutes, he finished making "dinner". He turned off the TV again, took out a bottle of peanut butter from the refrigerator, sat back in front of the computer, yawned and said, "I haven't heard good news in the news for a long time. Well, because the credibility of the media is declining every year, do they themselves feel that positive reports will have the opposite effect..."

Apart from the news, Feng Bujue rarely watches TV programs anymore, because the most popular program on TV stations nowadays is to find a group of people to sit there and expose their family secrets, and quarrel in front of the audience in the city and even the country, so as to gain attention. When it's dinner time, all the channels are full of nonsense, and even if I want to find a puzzle program, I can't find one. As for the TV series, after killing the Japanese, kill the Japanese, and after killing the Japanese, kill the Japanese. Feng Bujue really wanted to write a letter to the screenwriters and said: I suggest you take the time to write a few scripts to fight against Filipinos or aliens, and change it a little bit. If you change your mind, you might become famous.

While eating noodles, he opened the official homepage of Dream Company. He originally wanted to go directly to the sub-page of Thriller Paradise, but unexpectedly, in the corner of the homepage, he caught a glimpse of very interesting news...

"Our company's second online game product is already under development, and a trial sample is expected to be released in May." Feng Bujue looked at the news and read: "The tentative name of the game is... [Crazy Thinking]? The type is cards Battle."

He swallowed a mouthful of peanut-flavored noodles and said: "The first game has just been put into public beta, and the development progress of the new game has been announced. The various decisions made by Dream Company are really unbelievable... If it were any other company, If you don’t make a lot of money from the game Thriller Paradise, how can you develop a new game? Isn’t this competing with yourself?”

This news only has one line of text, and does not release relevant game screenshots or more specific information. In a sense, this is called headline-making... However, this method has also successfully whetted the appetite of many players. When Feng Bujue went to the game forum of Thriller Paradise, he saw many posts discussing crazy thinking.

Of course, even the official news has no pictures and no truth. Among players, it is obviously pure YY. Some uncles also secretly stole some messy pictures and pretended to be game screenshots, claiming that they had inside information. The moderators seem to be too lazy to take care of it. Today is the first day that the news is released. They will not do anything to dampen the enthusiasm of the players. There are many fake news, which shows that the players are interested.

"The well-known Jianghu Studio player [Kuaizong Jianying] is suspected of cheating." Feng Bujue was quickly attracted by such a post.

This post is still a hot post, with over 100,000 clicks and nearly 100 pages of replies.

At first glance, the post looks like a vest. The name is all in English letters, and it feels like it has been typed randomly. Although he has a lot of forum experience, but looking through some of his past comments, except for the water stickers, it is not difficult to see that this account is a corpse knife. The mouthpiece of the studio.

Feng Bujue took a look at the content of the post with great interest. The other party was clearly talking about the script he had played before.

"My teammates and I didn't even see each other from the time we entered the script until we lost the killing game. The opponent disappeared from a closed map environment. This map has the effect of continuously consuming survival points. But the plot summary clearly shows that the outside map has a more serious consumption effect! I have been in the map for a very long time and have used more than one bottle of survival value supplement. Please ask [Crazy Sword Shadow], if you It’s not cheating, how do you survive longer? Don’t tell me that your backpack is full of survival value supplements, or that you are a medical expert, you don’t believe it!”

There are many things in this post that are not made clear, and this is intentional... Anyway, the most important thing about such a shady post is to say what is beneficial to you, and not mention the negative ones at all, or downplay them. The only good thing is that this guy only mentioned Kuang Zong Jianying's name and did not mention the nickname Crazy Bujue. Of course, the poster did not mention the IDs of himself or his teammates, nor did he mention anything about being affiliated with the Corpse Knife. The reason is very funny - "Jianghu Studio is very powerful and I am afraid of retaliation."

Feng Bujue just felt happy when he read it. Even from the perspective of an uninformed bystander, there are many things in this post that cannot withstand scrutiny. Besides, even if Kuangzong Jianying is really cheating, why would you come to the forum instead of contacting customer service to report it?

At this moment, Feng Bujue finally understood why Kuangzong Jianying was so unwilling to see the Corpse Sword come in. These tricks outside the game were not clever, but they were enough to disgust him.

As you read further, the content of the post becomes more and more exciting. It’s no wonder that there are so many pages of replies. There are many forum trolls who look like Corpse Knife making trouble in there, echoing the original poster's remarks, for example, writing: "Yes, yes, yes, Kuangzong Jianying will come out and confront him if he has the guts! People from big studios can do it Do you want to bully us ordinary players? Or do you know that you are in trouble and don’t dare to come out?”

This logic is really incomprehensible. When Feng Bujue was offline, he was still watching Kuangzong Jianying in the game. Who would have known that you guys lost a killing game and immediately started making trouble on the forum? Even if someone from Jianghu Studio saw it and notified Kuangzong Jianying, given that guy's character, he probably wouldn't respond. If a dog bites you, you can't bite a dog. If you encounter trolls scolding someone on a forum, some big guys will have to explain, and then the big guys will need nothing but explanations.

In addition, there are also many incited players who echoed there with righteous indignation. They obviously didn’t know who Kuang Zong Jian Ying was before reading the post, and they had never heard of Jianghu Studio. After reading the post for a while, they felt like they had a deep hatred. Yes, follow the clouds.

Of course, there are also those who hold negative opinions, and there are also those who raise questions, such as, "Is fear of retaliation considered a reason for the poster to show his real ID when speaking out?", "One-sided words cannot be trusted," and "Are you sure there are no other mechanisms in the script map?" etc. Faced with these replies, the person in the Corpse Sword naturally chooses to ignore them, or quibbles, or just starts to complain, saying that the other party is a vest of Jianghu Studio... As a professional troll, this professional quality is a must. .

Continuing to scroll down, after about thirty pages, the replies began to become boring. There were more and more replies like "just wait for the truth", "I was just passing by to grab some soy sauce", "strong onlookers, Coca-Cola seeds are ready". The rest are just a handful of people where you and I debate each other word by word.

This is also due to the general habit of browsing forums and reading posts. At least 50% of the users always only look at the first page when reading posts, and never go back. Unless the post is a live broadcast or all pictures of beautiful women, they will make an exception... The remaining less than half of the users, at most They only turned through the first few pages. If there was no new progress, they didn't bother to watch others reply to each other and fight.

Less than 10% of users will scroll through the posts page by page and refresh them in real time. Some of them are because they are really interested in the content and results, some are concerned about whether their replies have been included in refutations or quotes, and some are because of reading addiction... Feng Bujue can eat with his left hand. He is not left-handed. It is also difficult for him to write with his left hand, but he can use chopsticks with his left hand. Eating with his left hand and operating the mouse with his right hand are skills he has consciously developed. It was this technique that allowed him to finish reading the post while finishing the noodles in front of him.

"Well...I finished reading it before I knew it." Feng Bujue actually hates arguing. He thinks it is the most meaningless thing. There is justice and truth in this world, but people are unwilling to admit their mistakes or suffer losses. So I chose to mess around or use tricks.

"Sure enough, you shouldn't watch it. It affects your mood." Feng Bujue picked up the bowl, wiped the computer table with a paper towel, and then went to the kitchen to tidy up.

He didn't lie back to the play cabin immediately because he had just finished eating and wanted to exercise, such as... giving his pet a bath or something.

So, he turned his attention to Assas eagerly. The latter was lying on the sofa and taking a nap. Suddenly, as if he felt murderous intent, he sat up with excitement and turned his head to meet Feng Bujue's sight...
