Chapter 1323: Target: An Unmanned Island!
Qiao Liang had not expected the fans to react so strongly.
No one supported him at all. They were all urging him to move quickly!
What’s more, everyone had good reasons.
You were a no-show previously. You said that you did not make videos because there was no good material and was waiting for Tengda’s new game.
The material came knocking on your door now!
Free Suffering Travels was such good material. Everyone could pay attention to it!
Yet, you became paralyzed with fear?
It was obvious that saying that there was no material was an excuse. That was your nature as a no-show!
Qiao Liang was speechless because these people were right. He could not refute.
As a famous UP Master, Suffering Travels was indeed a good opportunity to collect materials. What’s more, the video would definitely have a lot of views.
However, the problem was… he had to suffer!
This was different from the suffering in games like Repent and be Saved. It was physical suffering!
He might have died many times in games like Repent and be Saved, but it was a game after all. They suffered mentally, but their bodies remained in the air-conditioned room, comfortably holed up. They could also drink Coca Cola.
If he were to go on a Suffering Travels, he would have to be exposed to the sun and rain. He would have to climb rocks and build a fire outside. He might not even be able to eat anything else.
Qiao Liang quickly explained, “You know that I’m just a gaming geek. My body is not very good. I really want to challenge myself in Suffering Travels, but what if my physical condition is not supporting me? What if I really get injured from exhaustion and I’m sent to the hospital? Then, I won’t be able to update the video!”
Everyone in the fan group made funny expressions.
“Hahaha, the official platform obviously expected you to say this. It’s written clearly on the announcement. Go and take a look at yourself!”
“You know that you’re a gaming geek and lack training, right? Shouldn’t you take this opportunity to improve yourself?”
“Don’t worry, there will be women participating in the Suffering Travels this time. What’s more, they will be led by professionals. They will undergo physical fitness training indoors before going to the wild. I guarantee that I will arrange everything for you well. Apart from suffering, I will not make you sick nor will it affect your health. You will even find that your body has become stronger after coming back!”
“Old Qiao, stop pretending. You eat Fish-Catching Take-Out every day now and play ‘Fitness Battle’ every now and then. Previously, you even posted dynamics to show off your achievements and weight reduction results in the game. You’re no longer the fat geek who takes one step at a time. You have no problem dealing with Suffering Travels now!”
Qiao Liang looked at the announcement on the Suffering Travels website again and realized that it really wrote about safety.
The first month of Suffering Travels was indoor training. The location for outdoor training was carefully selected. With strong logistical support, they could eliminate all worries and not have to worry about not being able to persevere.
What’s more, there would be a female participating this time. As a man, he could not possibly be inferior to a girl in terms of physical fitness, right?
What’s more, Qiao Liang had indeed been playing Fitness Battle previously. He had a smart fitness drying rack at home. Every now and then, he would go to the small dress that would be refreshed for girls in the game.
It was not that he liked training. The main reason was that it was difficult to resist the temptation of collecting mini skirts for the girl to wear.
Coupled with the improvement in his diet, Qiao Liang’s health improved over time. He lost weight and often boasted about his results in the group.
Yet, boosting has become a problem now.
Everyone knew that he was in good health. It would not be a problem for him to participate in the Suffering Travels!
Qiao Liang was speechless. He did not expect this to happen when he was showing off his weight loss results in the group!
Great, there was no retreat now. He could not find an excuse not to go. It was not even useful to try to muddle through.
That was because the announcement had already been released. All the players in the country were staring at these lucky people. Teacher Qiao was a famous UP Master after all. If he retreated now, where would he put his face?
However, Qiao Liang took a closer look at the announcement and realized that three lucky people had gone this time. He then looked at the names of the other two people. They were Ruan Guangjian and Yao Bo!
“Eh? Big Boss Ruan is going too?”
“Wouldn’t that mean that someone will be suffering with me?”
“No, no, what am I thinking…”
“Who is Yao Bo? Oh, oh, the Crown Prince of Jinding Corporation. Why was he selected as well? Is he spending too much on Tengda’s games?”
At first, Qiao Liang was glad that he could suffer with Big Boss Ruan. However, on further thought, something was amiss. It was hard to say if Big Boss Ruan would suffer.
He still remembered the time when he had barged into the haunted house with Ruan Guangjian. Ruan Guangjian had screamed and walked around excitedly, but Qiao Liang had been so scared that his face had gone pale and his soul had left his body.
Perhaps Ruan Guangjian would still enjoy this Suffering Travels.
However, Yao Bo was a rich second-generation heir after all. He shouldn’t be as perverted as Ruan Guangjian, right?
What’s more, he heard that Tengda’s internal employees had two girls participating.
Qiao Liang felt that it was acceptable as long as he did not perform badly.
After struggling for a long time, seeing that everyone in the group was still unwilling to let him off, Qiao Liang could only express his stance. “Alright, I’ve decided to go! However, let me tell you something ugly first. Don’t expect me to produce a video for Slow Movement Studio’s new game immediately!”
Everyone in the fan group expressed that they did not care.
“It’s alright. Isn’t it just a video of a new game? What’s the difference between a few days earlier and a few days later? This Suffering Travels is more important.”
“That’s right. In any case, there will be other UP Masters in other games zones who will produce videos. However, you will be the only one to suffer and live-stream!”
These people’s comments made Qiao Liang grit his teeth.
Good lord, his fans were too kind. It was equivalent to giving himself a parachute bag on the plane and kicking himself down!
However, what could he do?
Once the lucky draw was out, all the players in the country would watch it. Qiao Liang could not be afraid.
He could only log into the official website and fill in the form to confirm his participation.
…
…
November 23rd, Friday…
Not long after Pei Qian arrived at the office, Bao Xu arrived and shared a piece of good news with him.
“Boss Pei, the three lucky players who won the lucky draw have already filled in the confirmation form and communicated with us about their itinerary.”
“Zhu Xiaoce has also returned to the country. Huang Sibo had already flown to the United States to hand over all his work to him.”
“My idea is to officially start training on the 1st of next month for two months, which is December and January.”
“Zhu Xiaoce said that he wanted to briefly report his filming work in the United States, so I gave him a week.”
“Considering that the weather is relatively cold now, we have to find a warm place to train in the wild. For example, we have to find an isolated island in Jingzhou.”
Good news came one after another, making Pei Qian overjoyed.
“Oh? The three of them have already filled in the confirmation form?”
“Let me see, Qiao Liang, Ruan Guangjian, and Yao Bo… Tsk, Yao Bo gave us so much money?”
After reading the name list, Pei Qian finally knew why Yao Bo had been shot for no reason. This fellow had crazy paywalls in games like Ocean Stronghold, GOG, and Fitness Battle. He had not missed a single one of Tengda’s standalone games. He had basically spent all the money he could.
He might not have played all of these games but he obviously spent money on every game that he entered.
Even if Tengda Games had a conscience when it came to charging money, such a paywall would still be a terrifying figure to ordinary players.
“Alright, it looks like the selection this time was a huge success. The people selected are very suitable.”
Pei Qian gritted his teeth as he celebrated the genius plan that he had thought of.
Even someone like Qiao Liang had signed the confirmation letter. Obviously, this lucky draw method directly hit his soft spot, making him unable to reject it.
“There’s no time to lose from the training. Don’t wait for another week. It’ll start soon!”
“There’s no need to give Zhu Xiaoce a week to report. I’m very satisfied with Huang Sibo keeping an eye on the work over there. Tell him that there’s no need to report. Pack up and prepare for special training immediately!”
“Let them train for one more week without raising the price! After all, they trained for one more week in the previous season.”
“As for the location, the deserted island in Jingzhou is indeed a good choice. However, I’m worried about two things.”
“First, is there any suitable place on the island for rock climbing? The highlight of training now is rock climbing. Don’t make them unable to show off their training there.”
“Second, wouldn’t this Suffering Travels be too easy compared to Shennongjia? Wouldn’t it not be torturous enough to go to the island to bask in the sun and sea breeze?”
Bao Xu smiled and answered, “Don’t worry about that. I’ll definitely arrange it well.”
“There are many islands over there. I’ll definitely choose an island with more complicated conditions, suitable for Suffering Travels, and all training projects.”
“Traditional projects like rock climbing must be retained.”
“In terms of suffering, we can only say that they each have their merits.”
“Shennongjia might be suffering in the wilderness survival segment, but there’s still two weeks of travel segment left after all. We can eat, stay in the hotel, and play in the scenic area. However, when we reach the deserted island, there will only be wilderness survival and rest segments. There won’t be any travel segments.”
“Of course, the overall environment on the deserted island might be better than in Shennongjia. After all, there’s sunlight and the beach. It’s not like deep mountains and forest.”
“What’s more, I heard that ‘A Residential Island Development and Expansion Method’ has been released in Qiongzhou in the past two years. It allows units or individuals to apply for development and utilization of Residential Island.”
“I plan to use this opportunity to inspect it. If the conditions are suitable, I can apply to the relevant department to see if I can book an island as a training place for suffering travels.”
Pei Qian perked up when he heard that.
“Eh? Book an entire island? That’s a good idea!”
“Do your due diligence and report to me in detail when you get back. Remember, you must book a huge one!”
