Pei Qian woke up naturally, got up, and looked at his watch. It was already ten in the morning.
After washing up and making a simple lunch, he swiped his phone while eating to see if anything was buzzing.
He actually found out that Hardcore Reviewsâ account had a long list of notifications!
Pei Qian was stunned. He took a closer look and saw that the latest episode had become a hot topic in the electronics area. The broadcast, bullet screen comments, and comments sections were all vastly different from before.
âWhatâs going on? Wasnât this still an unknown thing last night? What has happened?â
Pei Qian was a little flabbergasted.
His first response was to swear; there would be trouble if this video became popular again!
Wait a minute. I made the episodes using my own money; I hadnât used the System Funds!
Money from the incentive plan would be mine; this is a good thing and I donât need to fret!
The more popular this became, the more I would earn!
Pei Qian instantly became happy as he clicked on the comments section.
âPeople are getting paid to talk bad about Shenhuaâs cell phones?â
âThis is just like Shaohu Reviews; foreign trash.â
âAye, domestically-produced cell phones are really subpar. Look at this phoneâs body; it would break with a single touch.â
âThe design is a little too messy, right? Cutting corners and shoddy workmanship.â
âTalking about quality issues? I recommend you guys look up the previous UP Master episode. The Pineapple cell phone broke even fasterâŠâ
âEveryone has seen this, right? This UP Master is not targeting Shenhuaâs cell phones; it had released a Pineapple cell phone before.â
âHave we been taken for a ride? I donât think that UP Master was talking bad about Shenhuaâs cell phones; isnât this the basic flow of a hardcore review?â
Pei Qian looked at quite a few comments as he was a little baffled.
What was going on; why were people arguing about this?
This episode had indeed gained in popularity. However, it evidently wasnât a normal type of popularity; it was the type that was triggered by arguing and fighting online.
Some people were talking bad about Shenhuaâs cell phones while some were offering rebuttals. Some people were sitting on the fence as well. All in all, the comments section was lighting up.
Pei Qian wasnât particularly biased towards any cell phone brand and wasnât interested in this sort of online bickering. However, after turning to the next page in the comments section, he finally found who was causing this ruckus.
The first major UP Master that shared this episode was the official account of âShaohu Reviewsâ. As this platform had misrepresented the episode, many viewers had misunderstood the true intention of it. Without even watching the episode, they had started scolding profusely; and Pei Qian had become the unfortunate target of such vitriol.
Pei Qian took a look at the main page of this UP Master. It looked like a very normal program offering reviews. However, embedded in it were many signs of sponsored partnerships.
âYou guys have a knack at stirring trouble; not bad. En, I could learn from this. Perhaps this could come in handy in the future.â
Pei Qian made a mental note of this company. This type of account that specialized in such methods was the most professional at taking money to execute all sorts of tasks. It might be useful for Boss Pei in the future.
Pei Qian didnât mind at all; notoriety was after all still a form of popularity!
Everyone could continue to scold as they pleased; I donât bother looking at the comments section. Iâll continue with my plan of making my episodes, and Iâm sure they will gain in popularity slowly.
You guys can bicker and fight all you want; it is none of my concern.
Even if no one showered any appreciation or praise in the end, money would still come in from the high viewership as part of the incentive plan. Although it wouldnât be much, it would at least be pocket money.
After all, all expenses of this program are being sponsored by Boss Lin; Pei Qian was making a windfall.
âThis is great! While everyone is paying attention to this, Iâll release the next episode regarding MSC as well.â
âThree flagships; popularity would definitely be boosted!
On the other hand, Hu Xiao was directing his own fans and ardent online friends to be on the same page. He definitely wasnât going to do this dirty and tiresome work on his own; it would ruin his image.
However, he definitely still had to add some oil to the fire.
âI donât know why people in the comments section are so agitated. I had shared this episode purely from an entertainment point of view; many people then started to talk so much about this. Do you guys have persecution mania?
âFurthermore, I just felt that these episodes were rather interesting. Such a violent dismantling could also reveal some things such as the strengths of the cell phoneâs structure, the quality of the internal pieces, organization, etc.
âActually, this video also shows that it isnât that Shenhuaâs cell phones are not of good quality; it is just that in comparison to foreign honchos such as MSC, there is still room for improvement.
âTake the rear cover of the phone. Although we canât say that corners were cut, it is evident that not much thought was put into its production. It actually broke apart after a few touches. If it was an MSC cell phone, it is highly improbable that such a problem could happen.
âIncluding some details of the internal structure of the cell phoneâthe thought process behind the materials used, we must acknowledge that we still have a long way to go. That Shenhuaâs cell phones are cheaper than foreign flagship models is not without reasonâŠâ
After seizing on the pretext to kick up a fuss, Hu Xiao immediately felt refreshed and content.
Stirring up trouble was rather comforting!
After sending these messages, Hu Xiao relaxed in the living room as he ate some fruit and waited for everyoneâs responses.
Half an hour later, Hu Xiao went to his computer and took a look at the discussions.
As he took a closer look, Hu Xiao started to frown; something was amiss.
âHahaha, the coordination was done a little too well, right?â
âI had just released such a message and have already gotten a slap on my face?â
âMSCâs flagship model is actually worse than Shenhuaâs; it broke with a single touch.â
âThis is so laughable. The UP Master had actually done a review on all three models but just hadnât released the rest. That was unexpected!â
Seeing so many comments of people taking pleasure in otherâs misfortune, Hu Xiao was a little stunned.
What was going on?
He hurriedly opened the âHardcore Reviewsâ page and found that a couple of minutes after his message had been posted, a new contribution had surfaced.
Hardcore Reviews Three: MSC-B90.
This episode was the same as before in terms of content: immersion in water, dropping from a height, smashing the rear cover, forced dismantlingâŠ
Hu Xiao had never expected that MSCB90âs workmanship couldnât even be compared to Shenhuaâs!
Right from the first test on immersion in water, the MSCB90 had been switched on and placed in water for a time. After taking it out, although it looked as if nothing was wrong on the surface, when the UP Master reviewer used the phone; the audio was a little fuzzy, and the phone wasnât very responsive to touch. Something was evidently wrong!
Although the UP Master had not belabored on this point, all viewers could see this clearly.
Next was dropping the phone from a height as well as smashing the rear cover of the phone. MSCB90 performed even worse than Shenhuaâs flagship. After dismantling the phone, the internal mechanisms were extremely complicated-bordering on chaotic.
Of course, the chaos could be reasonably explained by a complex and exquisite structure.
However, the crux was MSCâs rear cover was indeed incomparable to Shenhuaâs. Shenhuaâs rear cover had only cracked after three or four strikes on it; after one strike, the MSC phone had evidently cracked and could easily be torn apart!
The toughness of a phoneâs rear cover depended on the material used to make it. Nevertheless, the sturdier the rear cover was, the more protection it offered the phone. Hu Xiao had also specifically mentioned the flimsy quality of Shenhuaâs cell phoneâs rear cover, that it was still a distance away from foreign honchos such as MSC. In the end, he had gotten a slap on his face so quickly.

Hu Xiao was a little dazed. Although he was a reviewer himself, these two models had only been released in the market recently. Ordinary reviewers would also examine each cell phoneâs specifications. Even if they really dismantled the cell phones, they would do so carefully by heating the rear cover and cutting through the glue seal to take the phones apart. No one would use such a violent method to test which cell phoneâs rear cover was harder.
Hu Xiao had only casually briefly commented on Shenhuaâs cell phone, and he didnât expect that the UP Master had swiftly uploaded a new episode.
Furthermore, this evidently wasnât directed at him.
After Hu Xiao had sent the message on Weibo, a new episode had been uploaded two minutes; this was evidently a coincidence!
Hu Xiao had blood clotting in his throat. Damn it, why is the UP Master of âHardcore Reviewsâ repaying kindness with hatred!
