Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 977: Qiao Liang’s Surprise

At the same time, in Jingzhou...

Qiao Liang had just exited GOG. He looked at the time. It was already two in the evening.

He yawned, took out his cell phone to check his fan group.

“Mission and Choice’s movie is too exciting!”

“I just came out of the movie theater. I haven’t had enough of it yet!”

“The final ending is amazing. Do you want to know the plot?”

Qiao Liang’s face darkened at that moment. He looked at his watch. It was time for Mission and Choice to end!

Based on his hand speed after being single for more than twenty years, Qiao Liang caught the person who might spoil the entire show on the spot and muted him for five hours.

“I don’t have to say much about what happens when spoilers go out, right?”

Once Qiao Liang appeared, the group chat became active.

It might already be two in the morning, most of the people in the group were gaming geeks. It was also a weekend, so many people were still awake.

They could not let Teacher Qiao, who skimmed off lazily, off the hook!

“Old Qiao finally appeared?”

“Hahaha, Brother, you’ve caught a big fish. Old Qiao, who hasn’t appeared for a long time, has appeared again!”

“Take care, warrior! See you in five hours!”

“Old Qiao, where’s the new video? Tell me, how long have you been ditching us? It’s been such a long time, and only one episode of ‘Trash Games Diss’ has been released. Don’t you have a conscience if you only watch games that other UP Masters have done badly?”

“Don’t criticize him. Old Qiao has no heart.”

“We’ll forgive you if you start a live-stream now to make up for your mistakes!”

Qiao Liang immediately replied when he saw the fans in the group chat denouncing him. “Don’t rush me, don’t rush me. The new video is already being made! Everyone, sleep early. Good night!”

Then, Qiao Liang slipped away.

He could not go to the fan group anymore. Out of habit, Qiao Liang scrolled through his WeChat Moments. He did not expect to find information about Mission and Choice again!

“Check in! This movie is amazing. I didn’t expect domestically-produced sci-fi to be this good!”

“Lu Zhiyao’s acting is amazing!”

“Highly recommended. You will not regret watching this movie!”

“I didn’t expect this movie to be so outstanding even with the plot of a rubbish game like Mission and Choice, especially the final battle...”

Qiao Liang was almost exposed. At the last second, he stopped looking down and quickly left.

“There must be something wrong with these people spoiling others on WeChat moments!”

“I’m so angry. Why does it seem like everyone has gotten tickets to the midnight show but I didn’t!”

Qiao Liang was speechless.

He had actually wanted to buy tickets for the midnight show but he had not expected them to be sold out so quickly.

Jingzhou might only be a second-tier city, and it would not be difficult to get a ticket. However, there were many Tengda fans in Jingzhou!

There were too many people fighting for the midnight show. That was why the tickets for the nearby cinemas were sold out at the speed of light. In the end, Qiao Liang only managed to get tickets for the afternoon show.

Of course, given Qiao Liang’s relationship with Tengda, it would not be difficult for him to ask Fei Huang Workspace for a movie ticket. However, he felt a little embarrassed and could not bring himself to do so.

He might only be a dozen hours late but he still had to face the crazy dance of spoilers.

Qiao Liang sighed. It seemed like he could only force himself not to look at any social media software.

Whether it was novels, movies, or games, they were most afraid of spoilers.

At first, the director had racked his brains to think of a plot twist. Players who watched the movie normally would exclaim “Holy sh*t” when they saw this. However, some idiots who had watched the movie in advance felt like they were in a drama. Not only did the reverse plot that the director racked his brains to think of lose its effect, but it also severely affected the audience’s experience of watching the movie.

All in all, everyone had the right to punish these spoilers!

Qiao Liang quickly washed up and prepared to go to bed.

However, he did not feel sleepy at all after tossing and turning in bed for a long time.

He took a long nap today until five in the afternoon. When he woke up, he drank some coffee, so he was still very excited.

Those words lingered in his heart for a long time coupled with the spoilers praising the movie ‘Mission and Choice’, unable to dissipate. It was like a playful tickle, always gently teasing his most vulnerable part, making him itch uncontrollably.

Qiao Liang subconsciously wanted to play with his cell phone for a while after rolling a few times on the bed. However, he realized that he could not do that.

That was because, be it on social media or on various forums, it was possible to meet spoilers of Mission and Choice!

He could not surf the internet. That made him feel hopeless.

After staring blankly at the ceiling for a while, Qiao Liang sat up in bed and decided to play games for a while before sleeping.

“Sigh, it’s a pity that ‘Fantasy Battle Remake’ has not been released yet. We have to wait until tomorrow morning.”

“It would be great if I could play the Fantasy Battle Remake. I could also prepare the material for the next episode of Products of the Gods.”

“What should we play then?”

“I’ve already completed Black Ink and Clouds. Even though this game is very outstanding, it’s still far from the standards of Products of the Gods. I don’t have a good idea for making videos...”

Qiao Liang looked at the screen filled with games and did not know which game to play.

He had played most of the games here. Those that he had not played were not to his liking and he could not continue playing.

He had already completed the game ‘Black Ink and Clouds’ a while ago, and ‘Fantasy Battle Remake’ would only be released at 10 AM. He could not play it now.

It would be very stiff if there was no suitable game to play.

Suddenly, Qiao Liang recalled the spoiler dog’s words.

“Someone on the internet said that the movie version of the plot of ‘Mission and Choice’ was completely modified from the original work.”

“How can we change that?”

These words lingered in Qiao Liang’s mind, causing him to feel genuinely confused.

That was because he had played the original trashy game of Mission and Choice before. There was no plot at all.

The only place that looked like the plot was the few lines on the promotional poster, such as “Your hometown, Blue Planet, is being threatened by the Zergs”. That was not considered a plot, right?

What’s more, the game did not even show this bit of plot. There were only a few lines in the dialogue text. It was extremely perfunctory.

Yet, someone actually said that the movie plot of ‘Mission and Choice’ was modified according to the original work?

“Could there be some hidden plot in the original work that I did not see?”

“That can’t be. They used the background of the original novel at the very most...”

Qiao Liang switched on his computer and scanned his desktop with this suspicion. Then, he remembered that he had deleted the game.

Qiao Liang’s habit was to update all the games automatically. However, he would delete the rubbish games that he no longer played.

As a veteran gamer and game UP Master, Qiao Liang’s computer and internet speed were the highest. However, the landlord did not have any surplus food. The hard disk space might be huge but it would still make people very unhappy if it contained a bunch of rubbish games.

‘Mission and Choice’ was an extremely lousy game to begin with. Qiao Liang only downloaded it to make a video. Once the video was completed, he would immediately kick the game out of his computer.

However, he had not expected to enter the game again after that.

However, that did not matter. He could just install it again.

At that time, the game sizes were only tens of megabytes. Given Qiao Liang’s internet speed, he would be done in a few seconds.

After opening the “classic domestically-produced games collection”, he realized that there seemed to be more games in it, including the “Black Ink and Clouds” that had been officially released a while ago.

The priority of Mission and Choice was directly transferred to the end of the compilation. It had to be flipped many times before it could be reached.

“Did the official platform think that this game was very embarrassing, so they placed it in last place?”

“That’s not right either. If you feel embarrassed, why don’t you just delete it from the compilation?”

“Hm?”

“Something’s not right. There’s an update?”

“Holy sh*t, dozens of gigabytes?”

Qiao Liang was stunned. He could not believe his eyes.

The original ‘Mission and Choice’ was a rubbish game from more than ten years ago. Its size was only dozens of megabytes.

However, Qiao Liang was shocked to discover that Mission and Choice had been updated. The capacity of the update package was about the same as the original number. The original unit was megabytes, but now it was gigabytes!

That was a thousand times more than the capacity of many AAA games!

Qiao Liang looked at the download speed. The download and installation time should take almost an hour.

“What’s happening?”

“Gasp... Could it be...”

A terrifying guess appeared in Qiao Liang’s mind when he connected it to the discussions online.

Previously, some people had guessed that since Tengda had produced a film called Mission and Choice, why would they not produce a game called Mission and Choice? As a game developer, Tengda would definitely produce one!

However, there was no concrete proof of this conjecture. Everyone might be looking forward to it but no one was really sure that Tengda would create a game called Mission and Choice.

What’s more, everyone felt that even if Tengda wanted to produce a remake of Mission and Choice, it would definitely be reposted in the official shop and do publicity again. It would be a completely different start.

It was impossible for the game to be updated on the old game even if they were to create the ‘Fantasy Battle Remake’ after all. They would definitely create a new game.

It was even more impossible for Mission and Choice to be mixed with the original rubbish game!

Thus, even though Qiao Liang had heard of this conjecture and felt that it made sense, he had not expected Tengda to create an update on this old game!

Qiao Liang rubbed his eyes. He thought that the night was too deep and that he was too sleepy.

However, the update package for tens of Gigabytes was real!

Mission and Choice’s production company had long closed down. The game now belonged to the official platform.

The official platform couldn’t possibly be the one who updated this update, right?

Mischief? That’s impossible. It’s been half a month since April Fool’s Day.

Qiao Liang suddenly perked up. He felt that there seemed to be infinite possibilities in these dozens of gigabytes!

He did not expect there to be a surprise?
