#182 - Barnum Effect (Please Order)
Wang Su was dumbfounded.
Huh? What's extra?
She hadn't noticed Daba entering the house just now, so naturally she didn't know that at this moment, the cat had already jumped onto the cabinet next to her.
Lu Yu teased with a smile:
"In other words, you can see the things intruding into the house and causing trouble, but you can't see the extra things in other houses?"
Wang Su remained completely baffled.
Was this kid purely making fun of her?
Anyway, seeing the young lady's appearance, the purpose of scaring her had been achieved, so Wang Su simply prepared to leave.
At this moment, Daba, directly above Wang Su, opened its mouth,
and the fat rat fell directly into the cloth bag she was carrying.
Lu Yu was about to remind her, but was interrupted:
"In any case, you should take care of yourselves and make plans early, otherwise the haunting within the宅地 will only increase."
After Wang Su left, Liu Mengyuan clasped her hands together, feeling a little lost.
Lu Yu comforted her: "You can just take what this kind of person says with a grain of salt. She doesn't even know a cat broke into the house, yet she can discover abnormal haunting objects. Don't you think that's too fake?"
Liu Mengyuan breathed a slight sigh of relief, but she was still apprehensive, always feeling uneasy when looking at the dark corners of the house.
Lu Yu continued to laugh:
"Actually, sometimes people's subconscious is easily controlled and influenced.
For example, someone who does astrology might tell you,
"Something you care about a lot will make progress recently, but you also need to be careful about difficulties. Your career and love luck are relatively stable recently, but fluctuations are still possible."
If you think about it carefully, isn't that nonsense? This kind of fortune-telling only talks about empty generalities.
For example, mentioning Virgo makes people think of perfectionism, meticulousness, and conservatism, and mentioning the Monkey zodiac makes people think of humor, wit, and liveliness, etc.
Maybe that person isn't like that at all, but after their subconscious is influenced, they will "match the description" in their behavior. This is the "Barnum effect" in psychology.
To put it simply, it's being tricked into limping."
"I understand…"
Liu Mengyuan nodded thoughtfully.
"Speaking of which, is it really okay that there's still a rat in that Daoist nun's pocket?"
Lu Yu sneered:
"If she can't even deal with a rat, then she has even less reason to swindle people under the guise of exorcism."
At this moment,
Wang Su had already walked near the entrance of the residential area. Suddenly, she felt a strange noise in the cloth bag containing the compass.
She opened the bag, wanting to reach in and see what was going on. The fat rat directly burrowed into the sleeve of her robe, then went all the way up, burrowing into Wang Su's chest.
Wang Su was taken aback and began to frantically slap her Daoist robe.
In addition to the shock, she also remembered the Greek mythology storybook she had read before,
and quickly fell into a nightmare.
……
This day, the sacred realm ruled by the earth goddess Gaia, the Olympos Mountains, welcomed the third challenger—
a fat warrior from the Ratfolk race, from the western foothills of the Olympus Mountains, in the hinterlands of the Monster Beast Mountains.
Like the previous two warriors, the Ratfolk warrior's goal was to climb to the top of the sacred realm and seize the secret treasure.
However, when he arrived at the foot of the mountain, the warrior discovered a new difficulty.
It turned out that the magnificent Olympos Mountains were already surrounded by long, white jade stone walls, circle after circle.
It seemed that after the successful challenges of the previous two warriors, the earth goddess had become vigilant and protected Gaia's secret treasure more tightly.
But the Ratfolk warrior's small eyes gleamed:
"I, a rat, must get the secret treasure today!"
He began to run wildly along the base of the wall, looking for weak points.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
On the azure skyline, Gaia's divine punishment was more violent than imagined, but the warrior, at the critical moment, finally discovered a gap in the wall.
Sizzle—
He used his two giant sword-like incisors to break open the gap in the wall.
The warrior entered the soft hillside, happily rolling around, and finally reached the summit.
He had heard the ancient legends circulating in the Monster Beast Mountains about the true face of Gaia's secret treasure—
The Spider Tribe warriors had said that it was the spring of the sacred spring,
and the Fishman Tribe warriors had also said that it was the fruit of the World Tree.
However, when he saw the secret treasure, he found it to be more vibrant and agile than the legends described!
"God of the earth, thank you for your gift!"
The Ratfolk warrior knelt reverently on both knees, worshiping and kissing Gaia's secret treasure with tears in his eyes.
Um…
The legends of other tribes were indeed unreliable. He thought it was honey with a rich milky aroma.
"Despicable monster, how dare you be so presumptuous!"
Gaia's roar came from the skyline, and the sacred mountain trembled uncontrollably.
The Ratfolk warrior quickly retreated, bypassed the Lulios Plain, and finally arrived at the Choltons Mountains.
After entering the valley, with the warrior's left and right dashes, circles of oscillating ripples spread to the top of the mountain.
Gaia let out an even more intense roar!
Suddenly!
The latest novels are first published at 6 9 books bar!
The mountain walls on both sides rapidly approached the middle of the road,
and the originally soft geology became extremely hard,
and the warrior was directly stuck in place, unable to move.
"No, no, I'm finally about to escape!"
The warrior's arms struggled weakly, his breathing becoming more and more difficult…
……
10 minutes later.
Wang Su's little sisters found her.
She was sitting on a chair in the residential area's park,
and not far away on the ground lay the fat rat that had already died.
"Sister Su, are you okay?" everyone asked worriedly.
"I'm fine."
Wang Su glanced at the flattened rat and sneered.
Did you really think that the waist and hip exercises I do at the gym are for nothing?
If you don't listen, I'll squeeze you, squeeze you, squeeze you!
"Sister Su, how is it going with the young lady?"
Wang Su glanced at the house behind her. She had a feeling that Lu Yu, that stinky brat, would definitely hinder Liu Mengyuan from moving.
She narrowed her eyes slightly,
Let's wait and see. The chairman gave a death order this time, and I won't give up!
……
Monday after the National Day holiday.
Lu Yu was leisurely eating potato chips at his workstation, browsing the system screen.
The newly recruited employees greatly alleviated the point deduction pressure of each project team, and with the various new benefits of the company, the leisure points finally stopped the downward trend and achieved a balance of payments.
Next, all that's left is to find a way to plug the loss-making hole.
After all, the employees recruited this time are far more abstract than before. He is confident that this time he will be able to build a new point-earning cycle.
Just as he was thinking about this happily, Liu Mengyuan ran over and shouted, "Lu Yu, something happened! Hurry up and look at Youyi's official website announcement."
At 10 a.m., Youyi suddenly released a message on its official website and game platform at the same time—
"Announcement on the Complete Removal of All Game Products Under Taoyuan Township"
The announcement roughly stated that the three games under Taoyuan Township violated Youyi platform's content review standards and would be forcibly removed from the shelves until Taoyuan Township completed rectification.
During the period when the game installation packages were removed, Youyi platform also refused to provide any server support, which meant that Island Owner Life and Mouth Cannon Life would be forced to shut down.
Moreover, even if Taoyuan Township completed rectification and re-listed, Youyi would negotiate a new revenue sharing ratio with Taoyuan Township, which may be 40% or even more.
Of course, in order to avoid causing panic among players, Youyi gave Taoyuan Township a one-week buffer period. During this week, they would seize the time to divert players to other games on their own platform.
In the company's conference room, members of each project team were indignant.
Chu Xiong: "What's wrong with our games? Why are they all taken down?"
Mo Xiaoxuan opened the PPT, which showed the review reasons taken from the game's official website:
"As for Free Mouth Cannon Life, the mouth cannon gameplay itself contains a large number of foul-mouthed entries. Although Hao Shuwen and the others optimized the entries and removed many vulgar words,
if you really want to be picky, many mouth cannons can be said to be playing memes, or they can be said to be crude, depending on what perspective you interpret them from.
The reason for the removal of My Leisurely Island Owner Life is mandatory social interaction, which corrupts children.
According to Youyi, it's okay for you to engage in social interaction, and it's okay for you to use a Q-version cartoon art style to attract children, but if you combine these two, there's a big problem!
It seems that in order to make this statement more convincing, Youyi also posted a screenshot of an Island Owner Life player group chat,
In the group chat, a player's parent came up and angrily scolded:
"What kind of group is this? It's harmful!"
