Chapter 33: Strategy Guides Abound
"Beep beep..."
The system was happily watching the rapidly increasing download numbers in the background when it suddenly heard a notification sound from the game platform's backend.
It was a private message.
Since Jiangyi's game became popular, in addition to comments, I've been receiving private messages from time to time. Of course, most of these private messages are... not very friendly.
So, having gotten used to the system, I opened the private message very smoothly, ready to glance at it and close it.
However, after scanning the contents of the private messages, the system's previously indifferent expression suddenly turned serious.
"Host!"
The system called out to Jiang Yi, who was slowly tidying up her things, and showed her the contents of the private message: "Look at this private message!"
"Hmm?" The woman in crimson lazily raised her eyes.
The message was actually quite simple. In short, a player was very interested in the game "Jiang Yi" and while watching game-related videos online, suddenly discovered that in addition to some funny death videos, there were now many strategy and tutorial videos about the game.
The player who sent the private message asked in a very tactful tone whether these videos were authorized by them or in cooperation with these game bloggers, and at the end, they kindly suggested that it would be best for them to post fewer strategy videos.
After all, the game "囍" is not the kind of combat game that can be played repeatedly.
The reason it's so popular right now is because no one has figured out how to beat the game yet.
Once players know all the ways to avoid danger and all the plot details, then there's no point in playing "Double Happiness".
Watching other people's walkthrough videos online is equivalent to playing the game all over again.
The system's tone was serious: "After receiving this private message, I searched it on the StarNet."
As the player in the private message said, recently there seems to be a sudden surge in game walkthrough videos online, teaching players how to beat the game.
Although no one has finished the game yet, it's clear to anyone with a discerning eye that it's only a matter of time. Especially with the walkthrough videos circulating online, it's evident that game bloggers have already found numerous ways to avoid the risk of death, gradually advancing their progress towards completing the game.
If this continues, by the time the first complete walkthrough video comes out, probably no one will download their game anymore!
That won't do!
The system was even more anxious than the game's creator, Jiangyi.
It relies on the fear (energy) generated by the game to keep itself running. Especially now, it has collected a lot of energy and will soon be able to unlock the first gray module in its body.
...Although it didn't know what was inside those sealed gray modules within its body.
"Host, what should we do?!"
Jiangyi also learned of the seriousness of the matter from the system's analysis. She thought about it for a while, torn between letting the system handle it directly without any martial ethics and following the rules of human society. In the end, she chose the latter and decided to try diplomacy first and then resort to force.
"Contact the game bloggers who post walkthrough videos and ask them to delete the videos, or remove any content related to the game's plot or walkthrough methods from them."
After all, some bloggers may simply want to share their gameplay experience, and we shouldn't assume the worst of them.
"good!"
Upon receiving the task instruction, the system immediately used some means to register an account for itself, and then sent private messages to the bloggers one by one.
Because of the possibility that players might share the information spontaneously, as mentioned by Jiangyi, the system's private message was worded very politely.
However, its unusual politeness seemed to be a flirtation directed at the blind. Apart from the few game bloggers who posted the video earliest and expressed their understanding after receiving the private message and deleted the video, the private messages sent to other game bloggers seemed to sink without a trace.
At this point, the system thoughtfully made excuses for these bloggers, suggesting that they might not have read their private messages. So, it posted the content of the private messages in the comment section of those strategy videos.
A few minutes later, all those comments were deleted by the blogger.
Furthermore, the video still exists.
system:"……"
Okay, okay... So the private messages they sent before weren't because they didn't see them, but because they pretended not to see them, right?
The system, in a menacing manner... turned to the woman in crimson to complain: "Host!"
"Only a few bloggers deleted those strategy videos as requested; the others pretended not to see our private messages and even deleted my comments under the videos!"
"Host, I suspect they did it on purpose!"
"Is that so...?"
Jiang Yi scanned the list of bloggers provided by the system from top to bottom, "Since they are unwilling to delete..."
"Then... I won't delete it..."
system:"?"
Just as it was wondering why Jiangyi had suddenly changed her personality and become so agreeable, it saw Jiangyi touch the bell with her fingertips and suddenly say, "Now, go and do a few things for me..."
After hearing Jiang Yi's instructions, the entire system became excited.
"No problem! Host, I'll go right now!"
All it hopes now is that those bloggers who refuse to delete their game videos will stick to their choice!
