Chapter 246: Chapter 245: Scanned a QR Code and Got a Video?

Netizens then recalled that there indeed was such an interview!

At that time, Nitiandang had just started to make a name for itself, and Play Less Games Network was one of the first game media outlets to interview Nitiandang.

The interview was very popular and sparked widespread discussion. The only problem was that it was a text interview, with no images or videos, so the vast majority of players had no idea what the mysterious President Gu actually looked like.

But now, with the official verification from Play Less Games Network, everyone could confirm that this unpretentious, happy-go-lucky young man, who was busy sticking labels for players, was indeed the CEO and Chief Producer of Nitiandang!

With that, Ge Peng’s video completely exploded in popularity!

"Address, please!"

"No need to ask, isn’t this place in the video near the Capital City’s North Third Ring?"

"Seems like it, it looks familiar! But I can’t remember the details. I’ll drive there and check it out right now!"

"Does President Gu still offer the labeling service?"

"Just finished playing ’Ascension’, and I feel I need to go have a chat about life with President Gu right away!"

"Holy shit, doesn’t that mean the experience store in the video is really an official Nitiandang experience store? Why else would President Gu be there?"

"Nitiandang is truly defying the heavens, oh man! Stealthily opening an experience store without telling anyone is one thing, but having their own CEO come over to stick labels? If you didn’t know better, you’d think President Gu had lost an internal power struggle and been exiled!"

"Haha, the guy above is so funny, you been watching too many palace dramas?"

Watching the continuously refreshing comments and private messages on his backend, Ge Peng was dumbstruck.

He had never experienced this kind of insane popularity; almost every time he checked, there were 99+ new messages that were impossible to clear!

Many were asking for the exact address, but clearly, Ge Peng no longer needed to say anything, since various sleuths in the comments section had already used street views to pinpoint the location of the experience store, and it was only a matter of time before a large number of players would arrive.

Of course, there were even more netizens who were openly envious.

Getting President Gu to personally stick a label? That prestige and clout were maxed out!

Who needs a gold trophy?

Of course, in terms of practicality and value retention, a gold trophy might be more tempting, but this label was a limited edition. Since it was personally stuck by President Gu, it also had collectible value.

At this moment, Zhuge Jun took out his phone somewhat curiously and scanned the label.

"So this QR code is supposed to work, right?" he asked.

Ge Peng, who was busy looking at the backend messages on his phone and monitoring his increasing follower count, could only give a perfunctory nod: "Yeah, but it’s just a video... absolutely useless..."

Ge Peng, of course, had scanned the QR code as soon as he got it.

But the video only made him more aggravated.

He was so enraged that he went to confront the issue on the spot.

What was the use of that video anyway? It was nothing more than footage of him gaming, with a bit of editing – no one would want to watch that, okay!

He didn’t even bother to log into the official account on this page to enter his car license plate number.

Ge Peng thought that even a cool-looking achievement interface would be better than this.

However, after scanning the QR code, Zhuge Jun seriously started watching the video, exclaiming sincerely, "Wow, Peng bro, your driving skills are insane!"

Zhuge Jun was watching this video for the first time.

The videos were basically a few of Ge Peng’s proudest defensive driving moments while playing Road Rage Simulator, edited using some kind of special algorithm that cut out the more mundane and boring parts of the driving process. The main focus was on the idiotic vehicles respawning to attack the player’s vehicle and the handling of the accidents that occurred.

To Ge Peng, this was nothing special; after all, it was all just part of his own gameplay, hardly worth mentioning.

He even felt a bit disappointed, thinking that the officials were just brushing him off.

But to Zhuge Jun, an onlooker, it looked completely different!

"Awesome!" Watching the video, Zhuge Jun couldn’t help but exclaim sincerely.

He began to understand why he hadn’t been able to achieve this accomplishment.

This was where the gap lay!

At first glance, Ge Peng’s driving sometimes seemed too cautious, while at other times, too aggressive.

Sometimes, when there was clearly space to overtake, Ge Peng would still follow the car in front stably, or even intentionally slow down.

Yet at other times, he would suddenly speed up and forcefully overtake, even when space was obviously limited up ahead.

If this were in a real driving situation, it would definitely be a display of an amateur driver.

But in the game, Ge Peng had clearly achieved the highest level of defensive driving!

He would choose his driving style based on the situation of the vehicles on the road, opting for cautious driving when the conditions were unclear, but making decisive moves when faced with threats from behind or when complex environmental factors required him to accelerate and leave the area quickly.

Of course, after the idiotic pursuing vehicles got into accidents, Ge Peng would also skillfully pull over and provide rescue, which was already a basic maneuver for Road Rage Simulator players, yet it was the most striking part of the video.

Having only seen the first few shots, Zhuge Jun was already blown away.

"Bro, your driving skills are really unbeatable!"

"I used to think that not getting this achievement was because the game’s mechanics were targeting me, but now I see that it’s just because I’m too unskilled!

"If I hadn’t seen your video, I couldn’t have imagined defensive driving could be done to this extent!"

Ge Peng felt a little embarrassed by the praise: "Bro, you’re too kind. Actually, it’s just a matter of four words, practice makes perfect.

"I also got there after lots of crashes."

Although he was modest in his words, Ge Peng’s heart swelled with immense satisfaction.

So this QR code video looks amazing to others?

After all, it was a highlight reel of a top player’s accident-free driving record, a concentrated display of the player’s driving skills!

Ge Peng quickly scanned other people’s QR codes and found that they too had a video segment of their own!

It’s just that everyone’s driving style was different, some being more cautious, others more aggressive, and there were even players like Heilong who had completed the achievement on a motorcycle.

But no matter what, everyone’s driving skills seemed very strong and impeccable!

It was like editing a highlight reel from a top-tier player’s gameplay—how could it not be thrilling?

Ge Peng looked at the video on his phone and then at the tag stuck on the rear of his car.

"Is it just my imagination?

"Why does this damn badge seem more and more appealing the more I look at it??"
