116 Give Him a Little Punishment
Su Ping, who was working on Zombie Apocalypse V, suddenly received a message from Angelica.
“Su Ping, many live stream room viewers have told me that the Zombie Apocalypse series is getting more difficult. It’s getting harder for them to clear the game.”
“They hope you can lower the difficulty of Zombie Apocalypse V and the rest of the games and differentiate the difficulty levels.”
“I’m just giving you feedback on the players’ thoughts. It’s up to you whether you want to change it or not. I believe everyone is willing to understand if you’re too busy with work and don’t have time to do it.”
“Anyway, you must take care of your health. Don’t tire yourself out just to produce the games!”
At the end of the message, Angelica asked about Su Ping.
Since Angelica called Su Ping a few days ago, they have not contacted each other. Su Ping seemed to have disappeared from the world.
However, since Angelica knew Su Ping very well, she knew he was fine. She knew he was probably cooping himself at home to make new games.
Su Ping fell into deep thought after he read Angelica’s message.
“Is the Zombie Apocalypse series that difficult?”
However, since the players had already given feedback, Su Ping couldn’t ignore the matter as an excellent game producer.
“Alright, I’ll meet your requirements and launch an easier version for unskilled players!”
While thinking, Su Ping picked up his phone, logged into his account, and posted a new post.
The main content was about different difficulty levels, such as “unskilled players’ mode” and “easy mode,” which would be added in games starting from Zombie Apocalypse V to help everyone experience the plot and clear the game smoothly!
Su Ping even put two smiley emojis at the end of the post. However, the players feel that the two smiley emojis look sarcastic.
As a result, Su Ping’s post didn’t gain the players’ approval. On the contrary, many of them were dissatisfied.
[Damn Su Ping! You’re mocking us in public, aren’t you?]
[Su Ping becomes arrogant after being rich and famous! How dare he mock us, the players who support him!]
[I’ve told you before that Su Ping has led Angelica astray. See, am I right?]
[Wow! Come to think of it, what Angelica said a few days ago is almost the same as Su Ping’s two smiley emojis!]
[Su Ping is no longer worthy of our support. Sigh, it seems that people will change. Men will turn bad when they become rich!]
Su Ping had been busy for the whole day. When he was ready to see how the players would praise him…
“Now, I’ve set a lower difficulty for you. You guys should thank me, right?”
Su Ping opened a social media app with the thought in mind. When he saw the comments and the private messages, he was so angry that he felt his lungs were about to explode.
“Fuck! Are they ingrates? I’ve already lowered the game’s difficulty for them, yet they still want to scold me!”
“Shit! These people are stepping over the lines! They won’t appreciate my kindness!”
Su Ping clicked on one of the comments. It was complaining that Su Ping didn’t take the players seriously.
Afterward, Su Ping replied below the comment, “Please tell me your Steam ID. When Zombie Apocalypse V is released, I will send you a game for free to express my apology. How about it?”
The comment attracted countless replies and likes as soon as he posted the reply.
[Are you really going to give it to him?]
[Oh my goodness! Su Ping is online! Why are you so generous all of a sudden?]
[Boo-hoo! I feel as if I accidentally missed out on a hundred million. I’m so regretful. Why I’m not the lucky one?]
Seeing that Su Ping would give away a game as an apology, many players started to feel regretful.
Why didn’t they just curse in the comments section?
If Su Ping picked them, wouldn’t they be able to play a game for free?
Soon, when Su Ping looked at the comments again, he saw that the person he had replied to before had sent him a message.
Su Ping replied with another smiley emoji and wrote, “I will send the gift to your account very soon!”
Many people were puzzled when they saw Su Ping’s reply.
[Soon? What do you mean? Is Zombie Apocalypse V about to be released?]
[Su Ping, are you going to send him the game installation package in advance?]
[Aah! Don’t do it!]
Su Ping sneered while seeing the players being naive. Meanwhile, he gradually showed a sinister expression.
“Huh, it seems that not only have the players in this world not played any good games, but they also can’t even see through such a simple scam on the internet!”
After a while, Su Ping sent the player’s Steam ID to the marketing manager who had been in contact with him.
The marketing manager looked at the message on his phone and was dumbfounded.
“Mr. Su, may I ask why you sent me a string of numbers? It isn’t your Steam ID either, though?”
Su Ping immediately answered.
“Of course, it isn’t my ID. It’s a lucky fellow I randomly picked in the comments.”
“Anyway, just ban his account for a week. In the next month, he’s not allowed to log into any of my games!”
The marketing manager immediately understood the situation and broke out in cold sweat.
Since he could become a manager, naturally, he was smart enough. Soon, he figured out how Su Ping had gotten the ID.
However, he could only mourn for the unlucky player for two seconds in his heart before he did as Su Ping asked.
Afterward, Su Ping went back to his work at home. He was going to finish the production of Zombie Apocalypse V.
Su Ping was working on the final push. He estimated he would finish all the work for Zombie Apocalypse V within two days!
After that, he could release Zombie Apocalypse V!
Su Ping was busy until that night. He worked until midnight before closing the software. Before going to bed, he planned to surf the internet for a while.
However, as soon as he opened Twitter, he saw a post in which a player was whining madly.
“Why? Why can’t I log in to Zombie Apocalypse IV? I just downloaded it and haven’t even played it for a second!
I can’t play other Zombie Apocalypse series games either, including World War Z!
What the hell is going on?! Boo-hoo!”
