Chapter 365: Chapter 374 Lilith: I Want to Focus on the Creative Workshop
At the same time, Gan Di’s live stream was undergoing a storm of abuse.
"We’ve found the chief culprit!"
"So it’s you who’s the author of the Master Mod, right? Take this hammer!"
"Guys, there doesn’t seem to be any room manager here, let’s turn up the firepower!"
Looking at the barrage of messages, Gan Di was also stunned.
Good news, his mod had gone viral!
Bad news, it was infamous!
Although Gan Di had been streaming all along, he generally didn’t have many fans, and streaming was mostly just a hobby for him.
His mod had a decent number of downloads on the NEXTMOD website, but since mods were a niche within the country, they weren’t very well-known.
Typically, the popularity of his live stream room was quite low.
But unexpectedly, tonight, the popularity of his live stream room had skyrocketed, as many people came looking for the author of the Legend of Infinity Fantasy’s Master Mod.
Clearly, there were quite a few players like Chen Tingquan who had been tormented!
Gan Di felt wronged and hurriedly tried to explain through the barrage of messages.
"Guys, hear me out, this really isn’t my fault!
"The Master Mod is just a high-difficulty mod made for players who like challenges, just like other games have similar mods!
"Originally, this kind of mod should have been downloaded voluntarily. I really didn’t expect that Nitiandang would put it directly on the homepage of the mod website and even set it to download automatically...
"Guys, the responsible party should be clear, if you have any grudges or complaints, you should be going after Nitiandang!"
But clearly, his plea didn’t have much effect.
Because countless players had already wanted to challenge Nitiandang, but to no avail, since the people from Nitiandang were too well hidden, and no one knew where to find them.
On the other hand, Gan Di had a live stream room, which made it easy to target him.
And at this moment, Gan Di finally realized why, out of so many mods that increased difficulty, only the Master Mod had been set as an automatic download option by Nitiandang?
Clearly, there were two reasons.
First, since players would land on a default page with only the Master Mod option upon logging into the creative workshop, it would lead them to believe that this was the only choice; even if they hadn’t enabled the auto-download option for mods, most would download it to try it out.
This would expand the range of victims.
Second, the quality of other mods was poor, and if set to auto-download, players would quickly feel something was off and realize faster that this was a mod.
Because of its higher quality, the Master Mod’s added monsters blended seamlessly with the game environment, making it difficult for players to distinguish, naturally leading them to assume it was a routine update to the game and not immediately think of uninstalling the mod.
In short, this would trap more people!
And with nowhere else to vent their frustration, whether out of a desire to let off steam or just for fun, many players chose to flood into Gan Di’s live stream room to berate him.
There was popularity, but Gan Di was speechless: I never wanted this kind of popularity, especially not this infamous type!
"Guys, stop cursing, please!
"Can’t I just modify the mod a bit?"
Gan Di was at a loss, and promptly began adjusting the mod in front of all the viewers in his stream.
Originally, only the players who wanted to challenge themselves downloaded this mod, so it was set to the highest difficulty. But now that average players were also affected, the difficulty had to be adjusted.
Of course, Gan Di certainly wasn’t going to directly lower the difficulty.
He made two modifications: first, even after installing the mod, players wouldn’t automatically enter Master Mode but would have a specific entry point for it.
The second was that even if Master Mode was activated, it would now include four different difficulty levels.
Though these four difficulty levels were just numerical differences and were not difficult to change, they were enough to improve the gaming experience for novice players.
The audience in the livestream was quite satisfied with Gan Di’s attitude.
"Very good, knowing the mistake and mending your ways, there’s nothing better!"
"I knew Gan Di was reliable, followed!"
"Nitiandang should take a lesson from this!"
"Alright, alright, upload it now. This new version of Master Mod looks a lot more reliable!"
Under the urging of the livestream audience, Gan Di hurriedly uploaded the modified Master Mod, waiting for approval.
Just a few minutes later, the result came out.
Not approved!
Gan Di was shocked, "Guys, you all see this, right? It’s not that I don’t want to change; it’s Nitiandang not letting me change!"
...
Meanwhile, in Gu Fan’s living room.
Lilith happily grabbed a can of soda from the table and downed it in one go.
"Yay!"
"Hmph, finally I’ve had my revenge. I want to see if Gan Di dares to mess with our Nitiandang mods again!"
Gu Fan felt somewhat sentimental, "President Li, actually, the review process can totally be handled by someone else; you don’t have to do it yourself."
Lilith shook her head vigorously, "No way! I can’t rest easy with other people reviewing! Only if I do it personally can I make sure everything is perfect!"
Gu Fan was silent for a moment, "That might not necessarily be the case. What if you also miss something during your review..."
Lilith glared at him, and Gu Fan wisely shut his mouth.
Ever since the Creativity Workshop was launched, all the mod review tasks for Legend of Infinity Fantasy had been done by Lilith herself. She strictly ordered others not to interfere, including Gu Fan.
The mods that were finally selected were naturally those that were highly challenging.
However, from his understanding of Lilith, Gu Fan knew that she probably wouldn’t last long.
The reason was simple, Lilith was busy and had to handle affairs from Hell every now and then, so she couldn’t possibly come every night to review various mods; on the other hand, Lilith herself was quite fickle, and her current enthusiasm did not guarantee that it would last.
Once oversights started occurring, Lilith would inevitably feel disheartened and shift her focus to a new game, and those mods, well, they’d just be treated recklessly.
Clearly, Lilith’s approval of the Master Mod this time was an act of revenge.
Due to Gan Di’s consecutive mods before, Lilith had harbored a lot of negative emotions. Being petty, Lilith naturally held a grudge.
And this time, she took the opportunity provided by the Creativity Workshop to give a harsh retaliation!
Seeing the audience fiercely attacking Gan Di in the comments, Lilith felt indescribably exhilarated.
And as for the Master Mod that Gan Di re-uploaded after modifying?
Sorry, not approved!
After all, retaining the final interpretation right during the initial event was meant for this moment.
Lilith gleefully watched the screen, as long as Gan Di’s original Master Mod was still there, new players would continuously enter this mode and be slaughtered by the Beast God, and the game would keep generating more negative emotions...
Thinking this, she felt extremely pleased, even the chips she ate tasted sweeter.
"By the way, Gu Fan," Lilith suddenly remembered something, "Has Heartbeat Dream started development?"
Gu Fan nodded, "Yes, it’s already in development. The promotional material for the first character is already being prepared. I just contacted some domestic figure manufacturers today, planning to produce a batch of ’Alioth · Elios’ figurines for early promotional activities."
It’s undeniable that Hell’s art font efficiency is high, rushed by Lilith, the first character’s art resources were complete, and the results looked good.
Lilith nodded in satisfaction, "Good, keep an eye on the development of Heartbeat Dream when you have time.
"I have a lot of things to manage, and I need to focus on the Creativity Workshop!"
