Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

After the opening CG, it was time for the official plot segment.

After playing the opening, Qiao Liang immediately realized that his understanding of this game was a little different.

Ghost General 2 was created completely according to the process of action games.

Whether it was the plot transition, character modeling, map design, game mechanism… All sorts of details could be seen. The shadow of action games such as Repent and be Saved could be seen.

The only difference was that this was a combat game with the perspective and combat system of a combat game.

Many action games that started with combat system teaching in the game also became system teachings for combat games. They taught players how to move, jump, and rub moves.

However, it was different from action games like Repent and be Saved. Under certain circumstances, it could be unparalleled.

For example, during the process of going through the picture, a large number of small soldiers would often come from all directions. At that moment, players could control the generals to start cutting grass. A large number of small soldiers would be cut off like leeks. It was extremely comfortable.

Even when the general dodged to the side, he would release fan-shaped attack skills at the same time. He would be able to directly hit the small soldiers on the side, knocking them around like they were unstoppable!

This dodge was a double-click on the direction key or the bottom direction key. In other words, it moved towards the screen or outside the screen. After the double-click, it continued to move. This was obviously a reference to the settings of some of the latest combat games. At the same time, it made some changes to the characteristics and needs of Ghost General 2.

When pressing the right button to move forward, the general would always move towards the next critical juncture. It might be an enemy general, or it might be some special map mechanism and mission goal.

This was equivalent to adding a new dimension on the surface of traditional combat games. The entire battlefield changed from two-dimensional to three-dimensional.

He had to say that it was quite interesting to play more difficult action games!

What's more, due to the special stage map design, players could experience the content of the two-dimensional horizontal version of the stage. They could also experience the content of the three-dimensional action games. It was different to play.

He could not cut grass when he reached the Boss battle stage.

Players had two ways to pass. The first was to fight the Boss head on and die. The second was to find a special map mechanism in the battlefield and strengthen their own generals or weaken the enemy generals. In short, relying on skills was one way, and relying on wisdom was another way.

The difficulty of the game could be said to be relatively moderate. People like Qiao Liang, who had not played much action games, could die a few times as long as they found the map mechanism of the Boss battle under the simple rubbing mode.

For some combat game gods, if they wanted to pursue a more difficult challenge, they could try using the standard rubbing mode to fight the Boss. It was just like the game promotional video that Cai Hong had played at that time.

What's more, this suggestion rubbing move model was not extremely simplified. It was not like frantically pressing the A system to automatically help to connect moves. Instead, it still needed to do some simple rubbing movements. It was not possible to press A brainlessly.

Apart from that, there were two more things worth praising: the skills of generals and the background story of the game!

Previously, Ghost General 1 had shown a certain extent in these two aspects. However, it was relatively weak since it was a card game.

The generals only had one skill. The storyline of the stages in the game was very simple. They could even be explained in one sentence.

In Ghost General 2, every general had more than ten different skills. For example, Zhuge Liang. Apart from the conventional light attack, there were also different skills like borrowing the east wind, Kong Ming Lantern, wooden cows and flowing horses, Zhuge Liang Crossbows, and so on. What's more, they were perfectly combined with his character settings!

In terms of plot, the stages in Ghost General 2 were adapted from familiar historical stories and righteous stories. They were very well integrated into the historical background. For example, Kong Ming's "borrowing the east wind" made Qiao Liang exclaim that "it can actually be like this".

After finishing the first stage, Qiao Liang prepared to rest in satisfaction. Then, he looked at the bullet screen comments.

Then, he was surprised to find that the popularity of the bullet screen comments had decreased.

There were many people in the live-stream when it first started. There were also many bullet screen comments. All of them were mocking the no-show for starting the live-stream. The bamboo shoots on the mountain had been snatched up.

However, now that Qiao Liang had been playing the game for a while, the number of people in the live-stream had decreased.

What's more, the content of the bullet screen comments was a little strange. Only half of the people were discussing Ghost General 2. There were also some… very infuriating bullet screen comments.

Obviously, many viewers had not caught up with the bamboo shoots competition that had just started. They had just arrived not long ago.

He arrived late, but he was not late either. That was because there were still bamboo shoots left, and he could continue to fight for them.

"Whoa, why is Old Qiao suddenly so hardworking today? Has he started playing games to gather materials?"

"Isn't that obvious? He must have felt the pressure. He went on a torturous trip for two months. In the end, Tengda released two games in a row. Old Qiao did not get a single one. This is like cutting off his flesh for Old Qiao. The no-show feels pain. Of course, he has to work overtime!"

"If Old Qiao did not work harder, he would have been surpassed by Young Master Tian! Look at the video that Young Master Tian made for the Real Estate Agent Simulator. How good! It was penetrating and deeply analyzed. Not only did the game content sound good, but it also analyzed the pros and cons of the industry in reality! Coupled with AEEIS's voice and excellent video editing skills, it's amazing!"

"I'm sorry, Old Qiao. I'm Young Master Tian's person now. I can't go back!"

"Hurry up and produce the video, Old Qiao. Otherwise, Tengda's UP Master title would probably change its owner."

Qiao Liang was furious when he saw these people's comments.

You fans are really despicable, coming wave after wave?

What's more, the angle of each bamboo shoot was different?

If they were both rubbing salt in their wounds, wouldn't they be rubbing salt in their wounds in the previous wave?

Not only was the damage huge, but it was also extremely insulting!

However, what could he do? These were his fans and fathers. They were all dependable. Even if there was a mistake, it was his son's fault. He could only bear with it.

Qiao Liang explained patiently. "Look, look. Isn't that narrow?"

"As an outstanding UP Master and a puzzle solver of Tengda, I will definitely not be as narrow-minded as you."

"Outstanding UP Masters keep appearing, and there are more and more good content in the videos. Even if we discuss the same thing, there will definitely be different perspectives. It is obviously a good thing for the audience to understand the problem more fully!"

"Everyone competes based on their own skills and benign nature. Whoever produces better content would be able to gain more fans."

"I, Qiao Liang, might have left early and achieved some insignificant results, but I can't just sit back and do nothing, can I? It's wishful thinking on your part to try and sow discord between me and other UP Masters! I, Old Qiao, am not that kind of person!"

His righteous statement moved the fans in the live-stream.

However, even though Qiao Liang said that he did not care, he was actually drawing circles in his heart and was very resentful of Meng Chang.

I asked you to imitate me, not to surpass me!

Qiao Liang knew that Young Master Tian was Meng Chang. He even used AEEIS's voice to make videos. It was also Qiao Liang's idea for Meng Chang.

At that time, it was because of Dawn Games platform. Qiao Liang's video might have been made but the details were not in place, so he gave Meng Chang the opportunity to interpret it.

Qiao Liang originally thought that Meng Chang had a serious job. He would only make videos occasionally and explain Tengda's industries. It was impossible for him to be a threat.

Now, he realized that he had been wrong.

Meng Chang released videos while working, but his output was not lower than his own…

This time, Qiao Liang was forced to go on a torturous trip. Young Master Tian had no opponent and was killing everyone online!

The video that interpreted the real estate intermediary simulator had been on the homepage of Aili Island's website for a few days. It had also reached the top three and was extremely popular.

What was even more infuriating was that Qiao Liang had shared it with Young Master Tian previously. Many fans had found it on the way.

Qiao Liang's own video was updated too slowly. No one could watch new videos. They could only watch Young Master Tian's video. Objectively, he completed a perfect channel.

All in all, even though Qiao Liang said that he was alright, he was furious inside.

Who would have thought that Meng Chang would have so much time to make videos apart from working seriously? He did very well and posed a threat to him!

However, he had no choice. Meng Chang was Boss Pei's person after all. There was no point being angry.

He could only encourage himself to produce more videos to snatch back the attention.

Qiao Liang looked at the bullet screen comments discussing Ghost General 2 and basically understood why the popularity of the live-stream had decreased.

That was because the combat game theme would naturally dissuade players.

Many people saw that Qiao Liang was starting the live-stream. They came in to chat for a while, and then left when they saw that he was playing a combat game.

It was not targeted at Ghost General 2 but purely because it was not interested in combat games!

What's more, everyone had seen the actual combat video of Ghost General 2 previously. So much blood had been wiped out. It was obviously a torturous game.

It was fine if action games suffered, but combat games suffered? Many people were not interested.

It was no wonder that Tengda had invested so much publicity resources into Ghost General 2. In the end, they had only become familiar with players. It had not achieved good publicity at all.

"I realized that these people have a huge misunderstanding of Ghost General 2!"

"This game is not like what they think."

"Actually, this game can be made into an action-based game like Repent and be Saved. How good would it be if an action-based game made money?"

"However, Boss Pei still insisted on making it into a combat game. Why?"

"Obviously, there is a deeper meaning here that most players did not understand."

"Heh, but it doesn't matter because I, Teacher Qiao, am back!"

"While I was suffering and traveling, Boss Pei released two games. They had nothing to do with me. However, once I came out, Ghost General 2 was released! Was this a coincidence or a hint?"

"I don't care anymore. In short, I'm going to release the video this time. I cannot give it to Young Master Tian!"

Qiao Liang suddenly felt full of motivation. He had to work hard!
