Chapter 7: The Culprit has been Found!

Pei Qian clicked on the video.

Qiao Lao Shi's distinctive voice with a slight regional accent, hoarse and lingering, left a deep impression on Pei Qian.

"Dear audience, hello, I am still your familiar 'Game Yeller' Qiao Lao Shi."

"People have been asking me to update more frequently, saying they want to see me rant about silly games. It's not that I'm lazy, but the silly games I found were just not silly enough with taste..."

"Finally, after a long search through the dung heap, I found this piece of gold, no, this piece of dung, that's right, the "Lonely Desert Highway" you see now!"

"This is a very interesting game, where you can enjoy a full-time, (in real-time), philosophical♂ journey!"

"This is a highly realistic driving simulation game, where you can not only drive, but also honk the horn, listen to music, and enjoy the ever-changing desert scenery!"

"Yes, although there's nothing but sand and dust all around, trust me, the shifting sands will make the scenery outside the car window different every second, and after a while, you'll even see a mirage..."

"What, you didn't see it? Don't worry, during the eight-hour journey, as long as you can persist, you'll definitely see it!"

"Besides, there's a very advanced leaderboard system in the game, which can count the number of times each player has completed the game and their total playtime!"

"Oh my God, what a great feature, it constantly reminds me of how much life I've wasted in this game..."

"Ahem, alright, you should be able to tell that I was being sarcastic just now. In fact, this game can be rated as the 'most boring game in history,' bar none!"

"Yes, you heard right, whether it's the past or the future, whether it's domestic or foreign, there should be no driving simulation game more boring than this one!"

"An eight-hour drive, and you have to keep your eyes on the road the entire time because there's a turn every few minutes, and if you don't make the turn in time... I'm sorry, you've failed, and your game starts over!"

"Don't ask me why I didn't pause, why I didn't save, because this game has! No! Pause! Function!"

"The only pleasure in this game is honking the horn and listening to music, but the problem is, you can't listen to your favorite songs, you can't even change the radio station, and all you hear are obscure, niche, or outdated songs, and you can't even skip the ones you don't like!"

"What shocked me the most is that, at the end of the game, it mocked me with a single line of text! 'Congratulations, you've successfully wasted eight precious hours of your life!'"

"That's right, this is a game that makes you think about life, and it has successfully made me reflect on my life!"

"It made me realize how precious my time is, and how much of a waste of time gaming can be!"

"If the boring aspect of this game could be included in the rating, then I would give this game a 100 out of 10!"

"Of course, even a game like this is not perfect."

"As the first hardcore player to complete the game (with the leaderboard as proof), I strongly recommend that the game adds the following features!"

"Without playing it at least ten times, how can you say that you have conquered this game?!"

"If you don't drive back and forth at least ten times, how can you say you've conquered this game?!"

"Also, I strongly suggest adding a multiplayer online function, so other players can join the room, sit in the car and enjoy the scenery, or interact with the driver!"

"I hope the game's creator can listen to my suggestions, arrange for a game update, and it will definitely sell well!"

"..."

"So, this episode of the complaining program is over. The rest of the time is the full-length game recording. If you're bored, try not to fast-forward and watch the whole thing."

"Trust me, after this, you'll gain some insight into life!"

Pei Qian dragged the video back and found that the remaining 8 hours were indeed Qiao Lao Shi's full game recording.

The comment section below was about to explode, and the audience was extremely enthusiastic.

"When I watched the whole process without fast-forwarding, I feel like I started to think about the meaning of life..."

"Qiao Lao Shi's sacrifice is too great, really risking his life for this!"

"Qiao Lao Shi, stop, your hairline can't take it anymore!"

"Is making a video now a life-threatening situation?!"

"I've already downloaded it, I believe I can find the meaning of life in the desert!"

"The one above, take me with you!"

"The full name of the game is 'Lonely Desert Highway', you can find it in the official game store, no need to thank me, I'm just that helpful!"

"Take me with you +1"

"Sightseeing tour, let's go!"

...

Watching the comments below the video, Pei Qian fell into a complete stupor.

Something must be wrong with this world!

I made such a trash game, yet there's a video creator who used it as material, and the response is so enthusiastic?!

Although still bewildered, Pei Qian had a general understanding of the cause and effect of this incident.

His game was unfortunately discovered by Qiao Lao Shi, a video creator who specialized in game complaint videos, and then Qiao Lao Shi was inspired and made a complaint video.

Under Qiao Lao Shi's excellent copywriting, widespread attention, and meticulous editing skills, the video went viral!

Soon, the video attracted a group of sightseers, and many people wanted to see how bad the game was.

Most of them played it for a while and never played it again, as the game was indeed boring, but most people didn't care about the one dollar and never considered a refund...

Some players even developed a competitive mentality due to the leaderboard system, and some even started spreading rumors and deceiving others?!

Someone said that if you play for four hours and look into the desert, you'll find an interesting Easter egg!

Others said that if you clear the game three times in a row, you can unlock a hidden level!

Some people even asked if the video could be reposted in the comments below...

Pei Qian realized that the situation seemed a bit bad.

Why does this game seem like it's going to be popular?

Could it be... that the game won't lose money after all???

"This is absolutely unacceptable, I have to do something..."

Pei Qian decided not to sit idly by; he needed to save himself!

If this game really becomes popular, Pei Qian will lose everything!

Pei Qian thought that maybe the game's description was the problem.

It was too vague, causing misunderstandings among the players!

He must be honest with the players, he must dissuade those new players, and he absolutely cannot let them spend any more money!
