It’s the newly released ’Mountain Village Memories’...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The video is still playing, and Lu, sitting in front of the computer screen, is watching intently, munching on a bag of Koobi Koo chips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ba glanced at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You follow this weirdo too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That shouldn’t be the case!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to his observations, shouldn’t Lu be following the dancing girls? Since when did he start following this Ice Cola guy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve been his old fan, following him since two years ago; among the top hundred, only he and a few other influencers have gained my approval.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu explained, \"Although I follow him, I don’t watch every video unless it’s really interesting – then I’ll make time to check it out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Chen Ba asked curiously, \"Is this video really interesting?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can’t say if it’s interesting, really; mainly because it mentions our game, ’Cola Flower’ has done over a hundred episodes, and this is the first time it features our game!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Previously, the games featured in this program were either niche indie games or well-known AAA titles, which were unrelated to us...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A true veteran fan indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu is very knowledgeable about Ice Cola’s videos, especially regarding the flagship program.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his words, these influencers recognized in the top hundred all have a standout flagship series under their account.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take, for example, a particular Liang Feng’s ’Countless Film Reviews’ and a certain Bottle’s new anime previews, guides, and discussions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These are the unique skills of the top hundred influencers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is through these skills that they can attract countless fans, earn a spot among the top hundred influencers, and stand out in their segment’s competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take Ice Cola, for example, his account posts an average of one video per day, sometimes even two or three.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu smiled and said, \"But most of these videos are just randomly edited to boost views, advertising, and promotions. The truly valuable videos are actually his ’Cola Flower’ series, updated twice a week.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I get it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ba pondered, \"So what you mean is, these influencers’ videos can be divided into two types: ordinary videos and flagship programs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, that’s exactly it...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is also the reason why he’s watching Ice Cola’s video during work hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hasn’t Ice Cola ever released a video featuring Tianba Studio’s games?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he has!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But those videos were ordinary ones, to put it bluntly, just casual gameplay that he himself didn’t care much about, leading some viewers to think he was paid for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This episode about ’Mountain Village Memories’ was probably the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, what Lu didn’t expect was that his video on ’Mountain Village Memories’ actually got edited into a flagship series, which made it intriguing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did Ba really pay him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he paid him, why slot it into a flagship program? Making a separate video to earn money without upsetting the core fans would be a win-win, wouldn’t it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One must know, these flagship programs are the foundation upon which top hundred influencers build their careers, the core content that gives them the confidence to stand firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you mess around with this, it could lead to your downfall without knowing how...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After hearing what you said, I’m interested too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening to Lu’s explanation, Chen Ba signaled Lu to move aside a bit, giving him some space – he wanted to take a look too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The video was still playing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...What a hassle! This ugly freak is hiding out in the room, waiting to ambush, and we have to go in to find clues; it seems we’ll have to wait for a lucky timing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me explain here, the divination feature not only predicts fortune but also forecasts auspicious timing; fascinating, isn’t it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But despite its mysticism, please don’t doubt the divination results within the game. If the trigram indicates a great calamity, you’d better be well-prepared before taking action – lest you end up dead without knowing why...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the video, Ice Cola shares his experiences with the audience while switching screens to watch videos filled with long-legged vulgarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The comment section is filled with remarks like \"Master of Time Management\" and \"Shrimp-headed Man\" and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem, after briefly skimming through some videos, we finally waited for an auspicious timing in the game! Mama-mama-hoo, give me great fortune!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fantastic, the Great Fortune status buff is active, now I’m no longer afraid of that damned ugly freak! But before rushing into tasks, let’s... hang a Heavenly Dao Program backstage first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the video, Ice Cola says with a straight face, \"Slaying demons and eliminating evil should count as accumulating merit, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this move, Lu turned to Ba while crunching on chips, his curiosity peaked, asking, \"Can this link up, can he really gain merit?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No idea!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ba shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This stuff he truly doesn’t know – after all, ’Mountain Village Memories’ has just been released, and during testing, they didn’t link with ’Cultivation Fantasy’ in the background for testing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It... probably doesn’t work?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s not very certain; after all, he hasn’t conceived such a linkage himself, nor tried it, so he doesn’t know the outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But according to his judgment, Ice Cola’s idea likely wouldn’t work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaining merit from slaying demons?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The theory is not wrong, but the premise is slaying demons in ’Cultivation Fantasy’. If it doesn’t work there, you might earn merit fighting evil in other games too.\u003C\u002Fp>",941,"2026-06-06T03:03:37.618Z",1,"novelbin.me","ff41f2e429e1c042651205617ee116d7f7e861a4dc606c29fc0ce8099b943d3f","this-is-not-a-bug-but-a-game-feature-chapter-405","this-is-not-a-bug-but-a-game-feature-chapter-403",479,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-is-not-a-bug-but-a-game-feature-cover.jpg"]
