ROSGT Chapter 25: You're Definitely Eating Shit
Chapter 25: You're Definitely Eating Shit
On the Software Alliance forum, posts mocking Professor Cha and the game "Eliminate" quickly disappeared completely. According to the forum's rules, posting deliberate insults and defamation more than three times results in an automatic ban. Those who posted defamatory content were swiftly banned by Zuo Xiaoyou, leaving the forum peaceful once again.
The download speed of "Eliminate" surged again, showing an increasingly rapid trend. By the evening, five hours after its release, the game had already been downloaded twelve million times, surpassing the download speed of "Link Up." When "Link Up" reached twelve million downloads, it took a full two days, whereas "Eliminate" achieved this in just five hours!
What's more, players were not only downloading the game but were also actively playing it, aiming to climb higher on the leaderboard. An "Eliminate" craze had swept across the internet, and the game's download numbers continued to skyrocket. The download numbers for "Link Up," which were considered a miracle, seemed modest compared to "Eliminate."
At this rate, "Eliminate" was likely to surpass thirty million downloads faster than "Link Up," becoming the number one ranked software on the Software Alliance. Notably, by the end of the day, the game "Find It," which Dugu Qiushou developed using his sister as the model, also saw impressive results, reaching 2.7 million downloads. Although this number was not much to Ye Chui, it was already at a god-like level for others.
Currently, the top three hottest software on the Software Alliance forum were all games: "Eliminate," "Link Up," and "Find It." Due to the similarity in their names, these games were collectively referred to as the "Look" series. Dugu Qiushou even announced that a fourth game in the "Look" series, "Match It," developed from a concept by Professor Cha, would be released soon, causing great excitement among netizens.
“Previously, people doubted that Professor Cha's success with ‘Link Up’ was just a fluke. Now, it’s clear that it wasn’t. Professor Cha truly has the talent!”
“Cha God is invincible! Just with the ‘Look’ series, he can already make a mark in software history!”
“You’re underestimating Cha God. Just the ‘Look’ series? Dugu Qiushou said it himself, the ‘Look’ series is just child’s play to Cha God. Even greater games are on the way!”
“Oh, Cha God, how can you be so awesome!”
Meanwhile, some were bringing up the bet between Dugu Qiushou and sb Expert.
“There’s no doubt, ‘Eliminate’ has definitely surpassed ‘Link Up.’ Sb Expert, stop hiding and get ready to eat shit live!”
At such a moment, Wang Zhaoming naturally didn’t dare to show his face. The internet was abuzz with calls for sb Expert, with countless people eager to see him eat shit live. Strangely, no one seemed to care what the shit was anymore...
Wang Zhaoming was having a tough time. Early the next morning, he arrived at the company with panda eyes, having not slept well all night. This morning, just glancing at the toilet made him vomit. With the internet clamoring for him to eat shit live, he felt utterly miserable. Every time he dreamed, it was filled with disgusting, explicit scenes, leaving him sleepless.
To make matters worse, as soon as he arrived at the company, someone told him, "Manager Huang wants to see you!"
Manager Huang was Huang Xiaotian, the manager of the software development department at sb Brain Company. Summoning him at this time was obviously not a good sign.
Wang Zhaoming adjusted his collar, looking exhausted and nervous as he walked into Huang Xiaotian’s office. Huang Xiaotian was waiting, eyes glinting coldly.
“Manager Huang…”
“You bet with Dugu Qiushou online that if you lost, you’d eat three pounds of shit, right?” Huang Xiaotian asked coolly.
Wang Zhaoming, suppressing his nausea, nodded.
Huang Xiaotian continued, “Yesterday afternoon, a lot of people flooded the Software Alliance with posts. Those people were hired by you, right?”
“Yes…” Wang Zhaoming couldn’t figure out what Huang Xiaotian was thinking and quickly admitted. The flood of trolls last night was indeed hired by him, thinking he could scare Ye Chui with his false bravado. But those trolls were quickly deleted and banned... The editors at the Software Alliance completely ignored his scare tactics. Hiring those trolls had cost him a lot, and he was still heartbroken over the wasted money.
“Idiot!” Huang Xiaotian cursed, causing Wang Zhaoming to tremble. “You’ve ruined the company’s reputation…”
“Manager Huang, I… I was doing it for the company. That Professor Cha is too hateful, not giving sb any face at all…” Wang Zhaoming quickly tried to justify himself.
“Shut up!” Huang Xiaotian interrupted him. “What do you plan to do now?”
In this world, in this era, a company’s reputation is incredibly important. A bet is a bet, and if he promised to eat shit live, he has to do it, or the company’s reputation would be damaged.
“I… I…” Wang Zhaoming was speechless. Really live-stream eating shit? He might as well die.
Huang Xiaotian rubbed his forehead, feeling an overwhelming urge to punch Wang Zhaoming to relieve his anger. However, his strong rational thinking quickly calmed him down. After a moment’s thought, he said, “You bet with Dugu Qiushou because of Professor Cha. I’ll give you a week. Go apologize to Professor Cha, get his forgiveness, and have him publish a statement online forgiving you. This matter can then be resolved, understand?”
“Apologize to Professor Cha?” Wang Zhaoming was unwilling. Him, an sb staff member, apologizing to a software developer?
Huang Xiaotian’s eyes flashed coldly as he glared at Wang Zhaoming.
Wang Zhaoming trembled and quickly agreed, “Okay, okay.”
“Then get going!” Huang Xiaotian shouted.
Wang Zhaoming hurriedly ran out of the company.
“Idiot! Once this is over, I’ll fire him!” Huang Xiaotian muttered. If he could, he would fire Wang Zhaoming immediately. But he understood the company’s operations well; firing Wang Zhaoming now would make them seem irresponsible, further damaging their reputation. Rubbing his forehead again, he looked at the light brain screen in front of him, showing the simple yet incredibly fun game, "Eliminate."
“Professor Cha, it seems I underestimated him. Games… this kind of thing seems interesting.”
Meanwhile, Wang Zhaoming hurriedly dialed Ye Chui's number from his portable light brain.
“If we sb staff take the initiative to apologize, Professor Cha will definitely forgive me, right? He can’t possibly ignore sb’s face…” Wang Zhaoming thought as he waited for the call to connect.
“sb Expert?” The call connected, and Ye Chui's voice asked.
“Yes, it’s me. I’m calling to apologize…” Wang Zhaoming said. Although he was apologizing, sb’s face couldn’t be lost, so he sounded very composed.
Ye Chui roughly interrupted him. “You big idiot, you still dare to call me? What’s the use of apologizing? If apologies worked, what would we need the police for? Let me tell you—you're definitely eating shit!”
Ye Chui wasn’t usually the type to hold grudges and push people into a corner. He would have forgiven Wang Zhaoming if he had apologized. But when Wang Zhaoming called, Ye Chui happened to be dealing with something that had really pissed him off...
