Chapter 1629 The Head of the Online Army is Out of Contact

August 10th, Saturday.

Pengcheng.

Hu Xiao was gloating as he showed off the achievements of his online army to his big client.

"How is it, boss? Are you satisfied with our service this time?"

"Although at the beginning, Chixing Studio didn't play by the rules, which made our online army look a bit obvious and didn't achieve the desired effect, we quickly made up for it!"

"After these days of unremitting efforts, we have instilled the concept of 'good in every way, just not fun' into many players regarding the game *Tailor-Made*."

"And now the misunderstanding has been cleared up. Chixing Studio didn't promote the game when it was first released because they were waiting for a collaboration project with the luxury fashion brand."

"But don't worry, this little episode won't affect our work!"

"Although this game has a collaborative event with the luxury fashion brand, it is still a new brand and has not yet generated enough buzz online. Most netizens haven't paid much attention to this event."

"But the review we sent you is gaining momentum."

"As long as we can strike *Tailor-Made* with precise surgical strikes before the luxury fashion brand becomes popular, we will definitely achieve your goal."

The client on the other end replied: "Yes, not bad!"

"I've read the game review; it's very well-written! We can cooperate with this author for a long time in the future."

Hu Xiao was very happy: "Really? It's our honor to get your approval. What about the follow-up..."

Before he could finish, there was a knock on the door.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Hu Xiao was a little surprised. He didn't remember ordering takeout or buying anything online recently.

"Who is it?"

Hu Xiao got up to open the door.

...

On the other side, Pei Qian was staring at the chat window with the "Xiao Fox Review" account, waiting for a response.

But after waiting for a while, he realized there was no reply.

The other party wasn't responding.

Pei Qian was slightly surprised. What was going on?

Logically speaking, the service attitude of this head of the online army had always been very good. He was basically online 24 hours a day and available on call. Most of the time, he could get the quickest reply when he contacted him. It was extremely rare for him to suddenly leave in the middle of a conversation without saying goodbye or explaining the reason.

"Maybe he has urgent needs?"

Pei Qian patiently waited for a while, but there was still no response.

"Forget it, forget it. I don't have time to keep waiting for this. Besides, the online army has basically achieved its purpose. Although the final payment hasn't been paid yet, he must be more anxious about this kind of thing."

"I'll pay the final payment when he asks me for it."

Pei Qian stood up and stretched, humming a little tune as he continued to check online discussions about *Tailor-Made*.

On Thursday, Chixing Studio had officially announced the collaboration between *Tailor-Made* and the luxury fashion brand.

They also explained what the new fashion brand, Luxury, was and launched its official website.

Related promotional activities also started at the same time.

Because many foreign fashion brands were boycotting domestic cotton, the public was feeling very supportive of domestic fashion brands. Luxury naturally received a lot of support when it was launched.

Many people shouted that they supported more and more excellent domestic fashion brands and hoped they would break the monopoly of foreign brands in the domestic fashion market as soon as possible.

But after all, it was still a short time, and it hadn't generated enough buzz.

At this time, many domestic fashion brands were working hard to promote themselves. Many of these fashion brands were well-made and of excellent quality, and many were time-honored brands that even embodied national sentiment.

Attention was being diverted!

Luxury was originally a new brand, and it used an English name and trademark, making it look like a fake foreign brand.

Although some players knew that the Luxury brand itself originated from the game *Struggle*, and that its appearance was a satire on foreign luxury fashion brands.

But after all, only a few people knew these details, and many others didn't care.

*Tailor-Made* and the Luxury fashion brand, although there was a certain linkage effect—for example, players could design clothes in *Tailor-Made* and have Luxury manufacture them—the game had only been online for a short time. Excellent designs were still being collected, and a large number of players and techniques were needed to create good designs.

So, although it had gained some popularity, the Luxury fashion brand and *Tailor-Made* had not yet truly and perfectly combined.

This made the early activities of the online army seem effective, especially the included game review, which made Pei Qian feel like he'd made a great deal!

So far, no one had been able to truly refute this game review.

Although many die-hard fans of Tenda Games debated with the author of this review, saying that *Tailor-Made* had its own unique gaming fun, this argument was obviously not strong enough and could not fundamentally overturn the claims of the review.

Pei Qian couldn't help but feel relieved.

As long as this state could continue for another three or four months, allowing *Tailor-Made* and the Luxury fashion brand to become popular after the settlement and lose money, he would be grateful.

Just then, the phone on the sofa made a "ding" sound.

Pei Qian was instantly alert. This was a special notification sound he had set.

This meant that Qiao Liang had released another video!

Pei Qian felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy. He knew that Teacher Qiao would definitely be involved in this kind of thing.

But this time, the online army's public opinion was so vast. Could Teacher Qiao turn the tide with just one video?

Pei Qian was highly skeptical.

He quickly opened Qiao Liang's new video. Sure enough, it was a review targeting *Tailor-Made*.

Moreover, it was directly opposed to the negative review online, with a similar title: "Tailor-Made: Explaining How Some Domestic Game Designers Have Entered a New Stage."

It was simply a counter-performance.

The previous negative review said that some domestic game designers had entered a dead end. This meant that *Tailor-Made* focused too much on piling up materials, piling up content, and focusing on details, but neglected the most important aspect of a game: its playability.

And Qiao Liang's new video seemed to be refuting it from a higher perspective.

Pei Qian didn't dare to delay and quickly clicked to watch.

He very skillfully skipped Qiao Liang's familiar opening where he called the audience "daddy" and precisely located the analysis stage of *Tailor-Made*.

...

"Some game reviews say that *Tailor-Made* shows that the producers have entered a dead end, focusing too much on piling up materials, piling up content, and focusing on details. Although the quality of the game itself is very high, it completely ignores the game's playability, making it a game that is not fun at all."

"First of all, I want to state one point: the fun of games is diverse."

"If a player who likes to play online games can't get into single-player games and criticizes single-player games for being unfun and lacking playability, doesn't that seem absurd?"

"The playability of *Tailor-Made* lies in the game of creating faces and designing clothes. Such a high degree of freedom can reflect the different levels between players. And in the process of designing clothes, players can fully use their intelligence and creativity, which is the highest pursuit of entertainment activities."

"Just because you can't feel the fun of the game, doesn't mean the fun doesn't exist, right?"

"Of course, at this time, some people may say that most people can't feel this kind of fun. For a VR game with such a huge investment, isn't it a failure if it can't recover its costs?"

"Here, I want to say that *Tailor-Made* is different from most of the games you see. It is in line with Chixing Studio's game design philosophy and has obvious improvements."

"This is what I said in the title."

"*Tailor-Made* marks that the outstanding domestic game producers led by Tenda Games and Chixing Studio and other mobile game developers have entered a new stage!"

"This kind of game retains the playability of the game while paying more attention to the game's impact on reality. This is a more advanced and more practical function, and it can even be said to be an explorer's exploration."

"For a long time, games have only played a role in people's mental world. A good game, through excellent plot and novel gameplay, allows players to gain mental pleasure and satisfaction."

"But with the continuous advancement of technology and the continuous development of ideas, more and more game producers are no longer satisfied with this. They want to make games more closely connected with reality, and Chixing Studio is one of the best!"

"Whether it is the VR version of Real Estate Agency Simulator, the VR version of Safe and Civilized Driving, or the current *Tailor-Made*, Chixing Studio is constantly connecting games with reality and facilitating people's lives through the Reality Service Department. This is an effort to surpass the original function of the game and expand the boundaries of the game!"

"As for how this game is constantly connected with reality, please listen to me carefully."

Seeing this, Pei Qian felt that the situation was a bit bad.

Damn it, Old Qiao has found a new angle to praise!

But the problem is, isn't the Luxury fashion brand just a very ordinary collaboration? Many of Chixing Studio's previous games have been linked to reality. Whether it is the Real Estate Agency Simulator or Safe and Civilized Driving, the linkage effect with reality should be much stronger than this fashion brand, right?

Why is Old Qiao's evaluation of the Luxury fashion brand higher than these previous linkages?

Could it be that he can find some unprecedented and tricky angles?

The sudden loss of contact with the head of the online army made Pei Qian feel a little uneasy, and Qiao Liang's video made him even more flustered.

Pei Qian quickly clicked the play button and continued watching.
