Certainly! Here is the translated text, following all specified rules and format:

Chapter 1 Logistical Concerns

Logically speaking, precautions were necessary, but Meng Chang didn't have a clue how to take them.

After President Pei sent a notice to all related departments and stipulated that they could still get a commission even if there was an internal leak, Meng Chang felt that the probability of problems within Tengda was already negligible, almost nonexistent.

So, what precautions could he take?

Could he follow the internet cables to find all the players and hold them down, saying, "You are not allowed to discuss the inspiration class"? That was impossible.

Pei Qian was stumped by this question as well.

How to take precautions?

If I could foresee such things, would I still be racking my brains every day about how to lose money? Would I still need to flip through the work reports of various departments and watch the secret reports of those loss-making students every day?

Figure out your own problems! I've already gone above and beyond by reminding you!

After a moment of silence, Pei Qian said, "I don't know either. Think carefully about whether there are any loopholes. Anyway, don't blame others if you don't get the commission. I've already reminded you."

After hanging up the phone, Meng Chang looked at his phone, lost in thought.

He suspected that President Pei had already seen the problem, but deliberately didn't tell him.

This was completely understandable. After all, President Pei's interests were completely opposite to his own. It was already a great kindness to remind him like this, and he couldn't expect more.

But... where exactly was the problem?

There shouldn't be any problems within Tengda, so he should turn his attention to the outside world, to the player base.

Especially since the *Yongduo Lunhui* (Eternal Reincarnation) DLC was already on the development agenda, and it was said that the design draft was already in sight. If there were to be a problem in the near future, it would most likely be with this project.

And this was another game project...

After thinking for a long time, Meng Chang suddenly had a flash of inspiration. A very dangerous figure appeared in his mind.

Qiao Laoshi! (Old Qiao)

How could he forget Qiao Laoshi when it came to game-related issues?

It should be noted that many of Tengda's games became popular because of Qiao Laoshi's recommendations.

Although Qiao Laoshi's influence was no longer as obvious as before as Tengda's games became increasingly well-known, he still often acted as a fuse and should not be ignored.

The more Meng Chang thought about it, the more he felt that not taking any measures to guard against Qiao Laoshi was a huge mistake. If President Pei hadn't reminded him, he might have been blindsided in the next two days while he was feeling smug.

He had to take necessary measures against Qiao Laoshi to prevent him from getting involved. It would be best if he could hold out until the end of the month, but even if he couldn't, he should at least hold out until next week!

But what to do?

Shut Qiao Laoshi up?

That wouldn't be easy to do and would be counterproductive.

Give him hush money so that he absolutely couldn't mention any information about *Yongduo Lunhui*?

The problem was that hush money couldn't be counted as part of the advertising budget.

If he paid out of his own pocket, Qiao Laoshi wouldn't even look at the meager amount of money Meng Chang had.

Besides, Meng Chang's meager salary was basically spent every month, and he simply couldn't afford it. Even if he could, he wouldn't be willing to.

So, the final idea still had to fall on the advertising budget.

Meng Chang quickly came up with a solution.

He couldn't be too obvious, but he could divert attention.

Take out part of the advertising budget to divert Qiao Laoshi's attention to other things. Wouldn't it be fine if he didn't have the energy or time to pay attention to *Yongduo Lunhui* and the inspiration class's works?

So, where should he divert his attention to...

Meng Chang suddenly thought of a good direction: Chixing Studio's VR project and the new game *Animal Islands* that was being developed!

Take out a sum of advertising money and let Qiao Laoshi experience *Animal Islands* in advance.

Chixing Studio had Tengda's investment, so it wouldn't be too much for Tengda's advertising department to spend a little money to arrange some preliminary publicity work, right?

Of course, *Animal Islands* would also need to be promoted in the future. But Meng Chang could just not choose this project and choose other projects then, couldn't he?

Giving up this project, which was likely to be successful, to earn this month's commission, Meng Chang felt that this was a very worthwhile deal.

Moreover, Qiao Laoshi was a game enthusiast, so he would be especially happy to be able to experience Tengda's new VR game that was being co-developed in advance.

At that time, he could use the excuse that the new project needed to be kept secret and have him retreat to experience it until the end of the month, cutting off his contact with the outside world as much as possible. Wouldn't that perfectly achieve his goal?

The more Meng Chang thought about it, the more suitable it seemed. He immediately inquired about the development progress of the VR game.

Currently, Chixing Studio's work was proceeding in an orderly manner, and *Animal Islands* already had an initial demo that could be played.

Although the VR glasses were not yet finished products, he could use VR glasses from other foreign brands to experience it.

After all, the development and testing of *Animal Islands* also required the use of VR glasses. It was impossible to wait until Shenhua's VR glasses were developed before developing the game, as that would be too late.

So, Meng Chang planned to first communicate with Chixing Studio, saying that Qiao Laoshi was interested in experiencing the new VR game, testing it, and giving suggestions; then he would go to Qiao Laoshi and say that Chixing Studio was developing a VR game and wanted to invite him to be a special experience officer, to retreat and experience it for a period of time to help improve the game, and there would also be a special review fee.

This operation was similar to that joke about the "Bill Gates' son-in-law."

The only difference was that that joke was pure nonsense and had no feasibility, but Meng Chang's operation was feasible and had a success rate approaching 100%!

Meng Chang immediately took action and went to Chixing Studio first.

After all, this matter couldn't be delayed. Every day he delayed was a day of risk.

Qiao Laoshi was a huge threat to Meng Chang's commission. He couldn't let him wander outside. He had to be locked in a cage as soon as possible, so that Meng Chang could feel at ease!

June 14th, Thursday.

Qidian Chinese Website Author Inspiration Class.

Yu Fei, the original author of the *Yongduo Lunhui* novel, was in the work area, frowning and seriously revising the plot.

The originally deserted work area was now more than half full.

Not only were Cui Geng and the other two authors whose works had been licensed for development revising their works, but the other authors in the inspiration class were also busy creating!

Some were polishing their works, some were reconstructing the entire story structure, and some wanted to seize the time to finish their current works and start a new one.

The atmosphere of the entire inspiration class had undergone a 180-degree turnaround compared to before!

Obviously, President Pei had injected new life and vitality into the inspiration class.

Previously, everyone was writing with their heads down for the money from the buyout. At first, they were still quite enthusiastic, but they quickly lost their goals.

Because after the results of a book were fixed, it was difficult to make a breakthrough no matter how hard they tried, and the authors naturally became tired.

But the development of the copyrights of these three works allowed all the authors to see the light.

If they can do it, I can definitely do it if I work hard!

Therefore, everyone found a goal to strive for again, and more and more authors were working seriously in the work area.

Yu Fei was especially diligent.

Because it had been determined that *Yongduo Lunhui* would be developed by Tengda Games as the official DLC of *Reversal of Fortune*, President Pei even proposed a series of brand-new designs at the meeting, which made Yu Fei, an old player of *Reversal of Fortune*, excited.

As a fanfiction author, there was nothing happier in the world than this.

His fanfiction was recognized by the official, and it was even developed as the official orthodox sequel. Moreover, according to the characteristics of his work, the original gameplay of the game was greatly modified to make the game itself more in line with the novel.

It was simply flattering!

Therefore, Yu Fei had to ensure that the content of the novel was perfect enough not to hold back the game.

After revising another paragraph of the plot, Yu Fei leaned back in his chair, stretched, and took a sip of coffee to refresh himself.

During the break, he opened his fan group, habitually wanting to see what the silly group members were discussing.

"Hey? Is the dog author modifying the content of *Yongduo Lunhui* again?"

"Really? How do you know?"

"I'm bored and re-reading it for the second time, but the App suddenly reminded me that the chapter content has been updated. When I re-read it, the plot has all changed..."

"Indeed, the content I cached before is also gone and needs to be downloaded again. And the changes are quite big. Of the first hundred chapters, at least sixty have been changed..."

"Doesn't that mean it's almost like rewriting it?"

"Not really. Some chapters just changed the dialogue and item names without affecting the plot, and only a few chapters had major plot revisions."

"That's also a lot of effort! In fact, anyone who has written a book knows that major revisions are much more painful than writing a new book, because writing a new book is like painting on a blank sheet of paper, with almost no restrictions; but major revisions require attention to the plot and foreshadowing before and after, which is like sorting out a tangled mess of threads. It's very tiring!"

"Is the dog author's brain damaged... Is there any need for major revisions to this book?"

"I also don't think it's necessary. This book isn't bad, it's just not very in line with the online novel model. I think this book can get an 80 from the perspective of *Reversal of Fortune* players. Major revisions are just from 80 to 85 or even 90, but 90 is useless. There won't be many new readers, and the buyout system pays by the word. There won't be any additional income after the revisions."

"I say, the dog author should use this energy to start a new book. It's really unnecessary to keep fighting with this book that has already been finalized."

The group members expressed their opinions, but it was clear that most people didn't understand Yu Fei's behavior.

Because in the field of online novels, "major revisions" are inherently a very discouraged behavior. Scrutinizing details and striving for perfection often yield less benefit than updating more and providing a large quantity.

Rather than doing this thankless operation, it would be better to write some new content.

Yu Fei was considered a veteran author on Qidian Chinese Website, and he was obviously well aware of this principle, but he had been making major revisions all the time, with no intention of stopping.

This made many of his old readers feel extremely puzzled.

Yu Fei couldn't help but smile.

He really wanted to share the good news of the copyright development with his readers immediately!

But President Pei said it had to be kept secret, and the authors of Qidian Chinese Website naturally had to abide by this rule.

Therefore, Yu Fei decided not to respond and continue to revise in silence.

Anyway, the group members were so smart and witty that they would figure it out sooner or later.
