Chapter 1334 Tian Gongzi Releases Another Video!

Meng Chang constantly weighed the pros and cons.

"The opportunity is fleeting. If I force myself to wait until Friday night to release it, then considering the subsequent fermentation of public opinion, it will be difficult to dismantle and attack Zhujia Group at the most appropriate time. It may trigger a chain reaction, leading to great risks in Fan Xiaodong's shorting of Zhujia Group's stock."

"My commission is nothing. Even if the popularity explodes in two days, causing my commission to plummet, I'll only lose thirty to fifty thousand."

"But if something goes wrong with the stock, that's a big problem. How can I face Fan Xiaodong then?"

"I can't wait! Release the video!"

Meng Chang quickly made up his mind, logged into Tian Gongzi's account to release the video, and at the same time, the follow-up arrangements were promoted immediately!

Exploding the popularity two days earlier will inevitably affect Meng Chang's commission.

It won't be cleared, but it will probably be halved, or at least evaporate by a third.

But Meng Chang had no choice. On the one hand, he wanted to complete a perfect "Pei's Propaganda Method" process, which was for learning knowledge; on the other hand, he had confidently told his good brother Fan Xiaodong that shorting Zhujia Group's stock was absolutely no problem, and he couldn't afford to drop the ball at this time.

Although Meng Chang didn't know how much money Fan Xiaodong had invested, and delaying the attack for two days might not have any particularly fatal impact, Meng Chang didn't want to take the risk.

As everyone knows, villains die from talking too much, and those who are counter-killed are often due to greed.

So Meng Chang wasn't greedy at all, didn't do those fancy things, and just made the first cut!

He had to strike Zhujia Group head-on before they could establish the "Intimate Butler Service" and knock them down directly!

…

In the evening, Ding Xiyao got off work and went home. After a simple dinner, she brushed videos on the Allie Island website while eating.

She had been a bit addicted lately, watching a lot of strategy videos for *Real Estate Agent Simulator*.

It had to be said that the players were really talented and had even come up with many tricks that Ding Xiyao, a former practitioner, had never thought of.

Many players had transformed into capitalist bosses, trying every means to raise rents, fool tenants, and some players were even trying to challenge themselves, figuring out how to continuously upgrade with the fewest transactions and use the money they earned to decorate their homes luxuriously.

On one side, they rented out old, broken, and leaky houses to tenants, and on the other side, they lived in spacious, bright houses with expensive furniture. It was just too real.

Some players had also noticed that the house types and tenant refresh in the game had a certain pattern. Some people often got good house types and high-quality tenants, while others didn't have such good luck.

The forum even came up with the term "initial account luck," suggesting that players with bad luck should delete their accounts and start over.

Although there was no direct evidence to prove it, accounts with bad luck were indeed always unlucky, and there was no better way than deleting the account.

Some people suspected that this was a game mechanic, and others said it might be a bug.

However, Ding Xiyao hadn't encountered this situation yet.

With a casual swipe, a batch of videos about *Real Estate Agent Simulator* appeared on the homepage.

Ding Xiyao had watched too many similar videos, so the website kept pushing them to her.

"Hmm? This video..."

Ding Xiyao saw that the title of this video was: "Using Games to Deeply Analyze Social Reality: A Brief Review of *Real Estate Agent Simulator*." This title looked quite serious and formal, and seemed a bit out of place among the crowd of entertaining videos.

Clicking in, she saw that this was a new video, just released not long ago. Although the number of views was not particularly high, the popularity, number of comments, and likes were all very high, suggesting that it was a high-quality video.

"Deeply analyze social reality? That's a bit much. This game at most reflects reality, it doesn't analyze it, does it?"

Ding Xiyao was a little confused, because in her opinion, *Real Estate Agent Simulator*, like its name, was mainly a simulation of reality, and there didn't seem to be any "analysis" involved.

This game didn't make people reflect on anything, did it?

Curious, Ding Xiyao clicked into the video to watch.

…

The author of the video was "Tian Gongzi." The video editing was excellent, and the materials used were mainly the promotional video of *Real Estate Agent Simulator* and actual game footage.

However, the video author didn't use his own voice, but used Aeeis artificial intelligence to automatically generate the audio for the entire text.

The content of the entire video was very concise, with no opening remarks or greetings to the audience. It went straight to the point.

"*Real Estate Agent Simulator*, a seemingly ordinary VR game."

"Its gameplay is not complicated. It doesn't seem to be much different from other simulation management games. Its early publicity makes people feel a little inexplicable, and seems to have a serious mismatch with the game content."

"However, this game, from publicity to content, actually fully reproduces the current situation of the domestic rental industry. Through subtle and simple ways, it allows players to enter the identity of the agent, understand the deep secrets of the industry that are difficult to access, and understand the crux of many industry malpractices."

"Perhaps some people have already felt this, while others are still unaware."

"This is normal. After all, an excellent game must have extremely strong gameplay and rich fun, and this fun may temporarily overshadow the player's thinking about the game's connotation."

"Players who are willing to use their brains to think about it may wish to explore the deep meaning of this game together."

Ding Xiyao noticed that the tone of this upgrader was different from most upgraders.

In order to increase the affinity of their videos, other upgraders often used more colloquial and informal language, first trying to get close to the audience and build rapport, and even interspersing some interesting jokes and emoticons, and then gradually introducing their arguments and expanding on them.

But this "Tian Gongzi" video was very direct and went straight to the point.

He didn't seem to care at all about the audience's acceptance, didn't worry about deterring the audience at the beginning, and didn't care whether the audience would regard his video as whitewashing or advertising.

The entire video was like a textbook, writing out the objective facts.

Believe it or not, take it or leave it.

Moreover, there was inexplicably a feeling of "my video is made for smart people, stupid people please consciously leave."

Logically speaking, this attitude itself was not very pleasing, after all, most viewers watched videos for fun, and this upgrader seemed to have a sense of intellectual superiority, who could watch it?

But to Ding Xiyao's surprise, the comments on the video were not this kind of reaction.

They not only didn't scold people, but seemed very expectant!

"Wow! The big shot finally released another video! Front row!"

"Is the monthly upgrader alive?"

"I feel like the big shot must be very busy usually, making videos is just a hobby, otherwise it wouldn't be so casual."

"It doesn't matter, as long as the quality is good, that's fine! The videos made by the big shot are all high-quality and worth watching!"

Ding Xiyao then realized that this "Tian Gongzi" account had previously had a video with several million views, talking about the Chao Lu game platform, which had caused a warm response.

Many people had followed him because of this, and most of them were game players.

Therefore, after the second video came out, everyone found that it was a video about the game, so naturally they came to support it as soon as possible.

Ding Xiyao still felt that this title was a bit far-fetched and suspected of being clickbait, but since it was a video made by a big shot, it was still worth watching.

"Before talking about the game *Real Estate Agent Simulator*, let's talk about the promotional video first."

"When the promotional video first came out, everyone didn't know that this was the promotional video for *Real Estate Agent Simulator*, and many people questioned the content of the promotional video."

"In the opinion of many people, this promotional video is incompatible with the game itself, and the publicity is completely misplaced, but in fact it is not. This promotional video is actually intentional, in order to correspond with the content in the game!"

"After watching the promotional video, some people felt sympathy for the hard-working agents, while others were instead stimulated by the hatred in their hearts."

"And this complex psychology of superficial sympathy and deep hatred is an introduction. With it, you can better enter the identity of the tenant and the agent in the game *Real Estate Agent Simulator*, and find the crux of this industry!"

Ding Xiyao's expression was a little dazed.

This promotional video was intentionally designed to make people feel some aversion in addition to being moved?

That's not right, I'm the lead actress, how didn't I feel it?

I was acting very seriously, hoping to win everyone's sympathy!

And director Meng Chang didn't mention this, he just asked me to act realistically.

Ding Xiyao felt that this "Tian Gongzi" was probably over-interpreting a bit. If he had been on the set at the time, he definitely wouldn't have said such a thing.

But Ding Xiyao was also very curious about how he would specifically over-interpret, so she patiently continued to watch.

"I believe many players have noticed that when they are tenants themselves, they always hate the agents' deceptive behavior; but after playing the role of a real estate agent, in order to make a profit, they also naturally start to use various tricks."

"For example, when tenants are looking at a house, they try their best to cover up the problems of the house, even deceiving customers, just to facilitate the transaction; when renovating the house, they try every means to save costs, completely ignoring the actual living experience of the tenants after they move in, after all, it is not their own home; they divide tenants into different classes, spending more time and energy receiving those who are more likely to rent houses at high prices, while those customers who don't seem to be able to afford high prices are perfunctory..."

"Of course, there are also many people who can stick to themselves and always operate with conscience, but it is undeniable that every player must have been tempted by this: if removing a single sofa will not have a big impact on the rent, then why not store this sofa in the warehouse and use it for the next house?"

"This is the first core of *Real Estate Agent Simulator*: to allow players to enter the identity of the agent, make similar tricks as the agents, so that both parties have the same motivation, so as to better understand each other."
