Losing Money to Be a Tycoon Chapter 1380 - There Should Be No More Scams For The Champion Skin This Time, Right?

Chapter 1380: There Should Be No More Scams For The Champion Skin This Time, Right?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Finger Games had already confirmed that FV Team’s champion skin had to be made urgently because the earlier it was released, the better the current situation of IOI’s local server.

If they were to delay it for half a year, IOI’s local server would probably have to be converted into a sub server. Wouldn’t it be too late to get the champion’s skin then?

Of course, Finger Games was still very cautious about the champion’s skin.

That was because he had suffered a setback from FV Team previously…

The previous set of champion skins looked alright on the surface, but gamers saw through it at once. This was completely paying respect to Boss Pei, Tengda, and GOG!

That made Finger Games feel like they had eaten a fly. They had obviously paid for the bonus and the skin themselves, but everyone had been thinking about Tengda’s good taste when the skin was made. How infuriating!

Thus, even though he was letting Jin Yong communicate this time, in fact, Chrétien and Finger Games’ skin designer had to keep an eye on them the entire time. They could not allow the same situation as the last time to happen again.

To put it bluntly, he was rejecting all elements related to Tengda!

Now, Jin Yong’s preliminary communication with FV Team has been completed. He had to inform Chrétien and the skin designers.

Jin Yong introduced, “This time, FV Team did not raise any elements related to Tengda. However… their requests are still a little strange.”

“They want to make skins for a few popular heroes, but they have to follow the image of their own heroes.”

“Take the jungler for example. The hero he chose last year was the original hero, Storm Swordsman. However, Storm Swordsman cannot play this year, so he chose the stronger jungler heroes in the version.”

“The hero he chose this time is the void hermit taken out in the finals. His request is to make the void hermit look like the Storm Swordsman. It has to be close to the appearance, and it has to reflect the elements of the Storm Swordsman in the teleportation special effects: When returning to the city, the armor of the Storm Swordsman would be broken, and the long sword would fall to the ground. The void hermit would crawl out from inside.”

“Others have similar requests.”

Everyone looked at each other and fell into a short silence.

This request was indeed a little strange. The key was that the image of the two heroes, s.p.a.ce Hermit and the Storm Swordsman, was too different!

According to the settings, the Storm Swordsman was a relatively normal human image. He was dressed in armor that was surging with wind. He held a long sword in his hand and was agile. It could be said to be a hero used to torture noobs.

On the other hand, the void hermit was a void creature similar to the Zergs in the settings. It could barely be considered a human form. In the settings, it might be the Zergs but it had extremely high wisdom. Its weapons were two sharp front claws. It could use the void power to become invisible and move. It was a popular hero that the current version of the European and American teams loved.

After being strengthened, this hero could be said to be the current jungler of the first tier. FV Team could only train crazily in order to win the champions.h.i.+p. In the end, the finals were also won by this hero.

Yet, the two heroes with such different images had to be st.i.tched together?

Chrétien was a little speechless. “How much does he like the hero Storm Swordsman? He already made the champion skin last year. This year, he changed his hero and actually wants to make another one.”

Jin Yong asked, “Then… Can we do it?”

Chrétien nodded. “I can definitely do it.”

“Make the void hermit into a human shaped hero similar to the Storm Swordsman. If you can’t change the attacking movements of the claws, then change them to holding two swords. You can also make some slight adjustments to the movements and attacks of the Storm Swordsman.”

“Of course, I can’t be exactly the same as the Storm Swordsman. That would be a mess in the game. I have to try my best to retain the characteristics of the void Hermit.”

“The key now is, there shouldn’t be anything wrong with this, right?”

Jin Yong thought for a moment. “I think… not. The champion skin last year used many GOG elements, so it has a certain deja vu. However, can’t we just use IOI elements for all of this skin?”

“Storm Swordsman is IOI’s hero no matter what. This is nothing more than the ‘element swap’ skin that we produced previously. That skin is quite successful.”

The ‘Elemental Conversion’ skin that Jin Yong mentioned was a set of skins that Finger Games had previously produced. For example, there was a character in the game that was similar to a beast tamer or a Hunter. A human shaped hero could summon wild beasts. This set of skin was worn by wild beasts, and the beast tamer was dressed in animal skin to achieve the effect of ‘Elemental Conversion’.

Of course, the response was quite good. Many people bought it.

Chrétien thought about it. That made sense.

The skin last year was because of GOG’s elements. However, even though FV Team’s request this year was a little strange, it was completely in line with the rules of the champion’s skin production. Secondly, everyone knew that FV Team’s players indeed preferred the heroes.

What’s more, he did not use any GOG elements this time. No matter how he struggled, he would only struggle between the heroes in IOI.

The idea of the upper echelons of Finger Games was to satisfy as long as FV Team’s requests were not particularly excessive.

After all, he was still hoping to use FV Team’s skin to save the domestic market. What if they did not meet FV Team’s needs very well and the skin was released, and players did not buy it? What would he do?

Then, they would expose that FV Team originally wanted a certain skin, but Finger Games was unwilling and asked them to change their requirements. That would be the end.

It was a small matter to be crushed by angry IOI players. The most terrifying thing was for everyone to resist this skin and even aggravate the loss of players.

At such a critical juncture, it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble.

“Alright, let’s follow this plan. I’ll report it later. There shouldn’t be any big problems.” Chrétien agreed.

…

At night, Meng Chang returned to his residence.

The second wave of publicity for ‘Successor’ had already begun. After spending more publicity funds, the publicity for ‘Successor’ on the internet was not reduced at all. They could still see the publicity material for ‘Successor’ on many websites.

At the same time, Fei Huang Works.p.a.ce’s official account also began to share and like some film reviews or videos that a.n.a.lyzed the meaning of ‘Successor’.

Movie reviews were subjective after all. Some people would scold him, and others would naturally praise him.

Just Qian’s film review had caused such a huge reaction on the internet. There must have been many original parties of ‘Successor’ or people who recognized the core of the story of ‘Successor’ who had posted film reviews or videos to refute it. However, no very influential people had stood up to speak for the time being, so there was no effective cooperation.

Of course, now that someone wanted to stand up for ‘Successor’, they had to think carefully about the pros and cons.

That was because it would be very easy for people to criticize him.

Although Fei Huang Works.p.a.ce had a good reputation, there was no need for any reason for haters to criticize others.

Even if some people wanted to speak up for ‘Successor’, they had to think carefully about what they could say. Otherwise, if they said something wrong, the consequences would be very serious.

Fei Huang Works.p.a.ce’s official platform for these people was to give the supporters of ‘Successor’ more confidence. On the other hand, it angered those viewers who did not like ‘Successor’ even more.

Thus, the smell of gunpowder was released.

The haters of ‘Successor’ had been venting their emotions one-sidedly. They had successfully pushed ‘Successor’ to about 6 points. Now, there were suddenly different voices. There was even a trend of the official platform ending. How could they tolerate that?

Thus, the debate online intensified.

This debate was not about whether the production of ‘Successor’ was good or whether the actors’ acting skills were good. There was nothing to argue about.

Everyone was debating whether this story was reasonable or not.

It was very difficult to come to a conclusion about this.

Meng Chang thought that it was about time to express his stance as Young Master Tian.

The dust would only settle next month, but he could not remain silent now. That was because the earlier he expressed his stance, the more foreseeable it would be.

What’s more, the people who supported ‘Successor’ were being suppressed too badly. The situation was a little one-sided. They had to support a leader of opinions and directly go against Just Qian’s film review.

Of course, Meng Chang did not forget Boss Pei’s instructions.

It would be meaningless for Young Master Tian not to debate with the other party directly.

It would be enough as long as he posted a simple dynamic, expressed his stance, and maintained his unfathomable image.

“I’m taking advantage of the situation, right? On the surface, Young Master Tian looks confident and strategizing. In fact, Boss Pei is the one who arranged everything. I’m just a mouthpiece.”

Meng Chang opened the Aili Island website and sent a post.

“‘Successor’ is a masterpiece that surpa.s.ses our generation. On the second day after the entire video is played, all debate about it will naturally disappear. This dynamic will not be deleted. Everyone can bear witness with me.”

Meng Chang was afraid that he would be misunderstood as being sarcastic, so he said it seriously without any ambiguity.

He even deliberately looked like a scammer.

He still bet on this account, but the dynamics that Boss Pei mentioned was much better than directly posting a video.

It was meaningless to post a video to explain ‘Successor’. Those who approved would still approve it, and those who did not would still not approve it. It would not be fundamentally different just because Young Master Tian posted the video.

However, the effect would be different if this dynamic put on an unfathomable posture.

Although there would be a lot of cynicism, the effect would definitely be much better than working hard to make a video.

Soon, this post was crazily commented on and reposted.

“Huh? hacked?”

“Why did he only post a dynamic? Where’s the video?”

“Don’t tell me he got a sponsored partners.h.i.+p!”

“A work that surpa.s.ses our generation? Will the debate automatically disappear after the complete broadcast? Don’t lie to me, I’ve already seen the original!”

“If you weren’t so serious, I would have thought that you were being sarcastic…”

“Alright, I’ll leave my name at the front row. If ‘Successor’ really becomes popular next month, I’ll make sure that it becomes popular. Since I won’t delete the post, I’ll wait for 99 + likes on this comment!”

“You’re pretending to be mysterious. Are you a yin-yang person? Can’t you make a video to make it clear?”

Some people were very excited and expressed that they were waiting, but some people started scolding.

Obviously, this dynamic would be reposted very soon and cause a heated discussion.

Meng Chang did not pay much attention to these. He would not log in again after this account was released. The next time he saw him would be January 13th.

Meng Chang had already bet everything that he could. If he failed, he would take it as everything returned to zero and nothing happened.

Success would prove that Boss Pei indeed had foresight that ordinary people could not compare to. Meng Chang would also make a lot of money because of his absolute trust in Boss Pei!
