Qiao Liang watched the final segment of the video several times and felt that it was indeed a small flaw.

Qiao Liang had always been quite a perfectionist. Before noticing an issue, he was fine, but once he spotted a problem, it was like having OCD—he couldn’t rest until it was fixed.

“So how should I fix this? I can’t just say that apart from Tenda games, everything else in China is garbage, right? Some things, even if true, shouldn’t be said out loud.”

“I’ll have to find a few more non-Tenda developed domestic quality games to add in.”

“Hmm… where should I look?”

“Oh right, wasn’t there a game called ‘Ink and Mist’ before?”

Qiao Liang immediately remembered that before the Spring Festival, the “Last Resort Project” had been trending everywhere. The release of “Office Worker’s Survival Manual” and the pre-sale of “Ink and Mist” had both generated quite a positive response. Though they were indie games, they were certainly worthy representatives of excellent domestic games.

Qiao Liang immediately opened the official platform, wanting to edit a segment of “Ink and Mist” and “Office Worker’s Survival Manual” to insert at the end of his video.

He didn’t need much footage—just a few seconds, a single shot that would flash by quickly would be enough.

However, after opening the official platform, Qiao Liang discovered an unexpected surprise.

“Huh?”

“‘Ink and Mist’ is scheduled for release tomorrow, and the official platform even has a special interview with the ‘Last Resort Project’ incubator?”

Qiao Liang’s eyes lit up, and he immediately clicked to view the interview.

The interview detailed the situations at the Beijing and Shanghai incubation bases, and also featured interviews with Wu Zhicheng, the designer of “Ink and Mist,” and Qiu Hong, the initiator of the “Last Resort Project.” The content was thorough and rich, completely lifting the mysterious veil over the “Last Resort Project.”

“Perfect, this is exactly what I needed!”

Qiao Liang was very pleased and immediately recorded a segment about “Office Worker’s Survival Manual,” “Ink and Mist,” and the “Last Resort Project” interview, adding it to the end of his video.

Then, Qiao Liang also modified some of the wording at the beginning of the video to make the content consistent from start to finish.

By comparing the domestic gaming environment during the era of “Mission and Choice” with the current domestic gaming environment, it created an effect of remembering hardships to appreciate the present.

Qiao Liang worked until 2 PM, finally finishing the video revisions and uploading it to the AiLiDao website.

…

Meanwhile, on the 16th floor of Shenhua Luxury View.

Two administrative department employees were whispering to each other.

“Mr. Pei seems to be coming to the office much more frequently lately.”

“Indeed, he used to come only one day a week, but this week he’s been sitting in the office for three or four consecutive days, and each time for four or five hours. It’s really rare!”

“Is it because the other industries aren’t busy, so Mr. Pei doesn’t need to personally attend to them?”

“How could that be? Other departments have plenty of things going on! In my opinion, it must be because the ‘Mission and Choice’ game is about to launch and the movie is about to premiere, so Mr. Pei is worried.”

“No way, I’ve always had the impression that Mr. Pei is strategic and commanding, never worrying about any project.”

“Well, maybe ‘worried’ is an exaggeration, but I think there must be pressure. After all, the investment is so huge—several hundred million yuan poured in. If anything goes slightly wrong, who could bear that?”

“Indeed, this is a huge gamble. If it wins, we soar; if it loses, we crash and burn. There probably isn’t a third possibility.”

“I just wish I had the ability to share Mr. Pei’s burden.”

“Well, don’t overthink it. We should trust Mr. Pei.”

“Yes, you’re right. We just need to do our own jobs well. For these major decisions that determine the company’s fate, Mr. Pei has never made a mistake before, and this time will surely be the same.”

The two employees discussed for a little while, then went back to their own work.

However, the looks in everyone’s eyes toward Mr. Pei’s office now contained additional encouragement and admiration.

This was Mr. Pei, the helmsman of Tenda Group!

Truly worrying before the company worries, and celebrating after the company celebrates!

What they didn’t know was that Pei Qian was indeed sighing in his office, but the things he was worried about were completely opposite to what everyone guessed.

Mr. Pei was worried that “Mission and Choice” would be a huge success, making tons of money…

Logically, when a project that consumed so much time and money was finally about to be completed, one should feel relieved.

But as April 14th drew near, Pei Qian didn’t feel any relief at all. On the contrary, his mental pressure was growing stronger.

How distressing!

Logically speaking, whether it was the game or the movie, they should be completely hopeless, destined to flop instantly on April 14th.

But perhaps because he had failed too many times before, Pei Qian always felt an inexplicable sense of anxiety, feeling that something would go wrong.

This final week was the most unbearable for Pei Qian.

Just now, Huang Sibo had called to say that moving up the release date of “Mission and Choice” had been completed. Although it was a bit troublesome, everything went smoothly in the end.

Moving up the release date wasn’t a simple matter, but it wasn’t uncommon either. After all, release timing was too important for movies. To maximize box office returns, producers and distributors would try everything.

Most films moved up their release dates to avoid competition and achieve higher box office numbers. For example, a film originally scheduled for the May Day holiday last year was moved up to April 24th because a competitive movie during the May Day period was expected to outperform them, while the competition on April 24th was weaker, so they chose to move up the date and ended up achieving great success at the box office.

Additionally, there were those who deliberately released alongside blockbusters to ride their wave, those who used bundled marketing, those who created hype… all of these could lead to changes in film release dates.

In short, all film producers and distributors would do everything possible to choose the best release date for their films because a good release date often determined hundreds of millions in box office revenue—real money at stake.

But behavior like Pei Qian’s—fearing that his own film was too powerful and would dominate the May Day slot, thus deliberately moving it to a terrible release date—was probably unprecedented and would never be seen again.

Regarding the date change, both Huang Sibo and Lin Chang were against it.

After all, in their view, “Mission and Choice” was a high-quality film, and not releasing it during the May Day holiday seemed like a huge waste.

But Pei Qian’s reasoning was also sound—the game side wanted to clash with “Fantasy Wars Remake,” so the movie’s release date also had to be moved up to match the game’s release date.

So although Huang Sibo was reluctant, he still obediently complied.

This made Pei Qian feel a bit more at ease, so he decided to browse the AiLiDao website and watch some videos to relax.

However, just a casual glance at the website’s activity feed, and Pei Qian saw a video that Qiao Laoshi had just posted not long ago.

“Trash Game Roast Session #92: This Is What The Worst Domestic Game In History Looks Like!”

Seeing that Qiao Laoshi had released a new video, Pei Qian instinctively shuddered.

Every time this guy released a video, eight out of ten times it would backstab Pei Qian, giving him almost a conditioned response!

But after careful examination of the title, Pei Qian immediately relaxed.

Oh, false alarm!

He had thought that Qiao Liang had somehow obtained a test demo of “Mission and Choice” from some channel and released another “Legendary Works” episode!

Qiao Liang had good relationships with several game department heads, so getting hold of a development demo of “Mission and Choice” wasn’t entirely impossible.

If Qiao Liang were to release a “Legendary Works” episode before the game’s release, that would be a huge problem!

But since the video title was “Trash Game Roast Session,” it should be fine.

After all, since “Lonely Desert Highway,” no Tenda game had appeared in this series again.

However, Pei Qian had barely been relieved for two seconds when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

The words “Worst Domestic Game In History” made Pei Qian realize that things weren’t so simple!

Looking at the video description, sure enough, this episode was roasting the disgraceful domestic game “Mission and Choice” from over a decade ago!

“Damn it!”

Pei Qian couldn’t help but curse.

What the hell was this?!

Logically, the “Trash Game Roast Session” series should have nothing to do with Tenda games anymore, but Qiao Liang specifically chose “Mission and Choice” to roast!

Obviously, this video would take players back to more than a decade ago, reliving that period of history when domestic single-player games collapsed.

And next week, the remake of “Mission and Choice” was about to officially release. Most people would have just refreshed their memories of the old “Mission and Choice,” and when they saw the remake, they would definitely add a lot of emotional points…

Wasn’t this a huge problem?!

Pei Qian was speechless.

What was up with this Qiao Laoshi! How did he always release videos that were so perfectly timed!

After hesitating for a few minutes, Pei Qian still clicked on the video.

There was no choice—the video had already been released. He couldn’t contact AiLiDao to delete it, could he?

He could only watch the specific content of the video and then think of corresponding countermeasures.
