Chapter 183 No way
"Oh?"

Tang Yao was somewhat surprised upon hearing this: "A mobile game?"

"Correct."

Li Xue nodded, but her expression was a little strange: "It's a mobile game, but... you'll see when you take a look."

Seeing her strange expression, Tang Yao reached out and took the documents she was given.

Then after watching it.

Her expression also turned strange, and she slightly raised her head: "...An officially licensed mobile game based on 'Nightfall'? A mobile game based on Rumi's work?"

"Yes, we don't know whether or not Cai Quan should accept it."

Li Xue nodded again: "After all, our FGO has also collaborated with this work... If we were to do a joint operation with this game, it would clash with our own game."

"..."

Tang Yao's expression became somewhat subtle.

She never expected that the game company that obtained the game adaptation rights for Rumi's work would ultimately choose to co-operate with ANF.

The so-called game joint operation, simply put, is a way of operating a game by game developers and promotion channels to jointly operate a game, thereby ensuring player activity and traffic recharge after the game's release.

This is a fairly common B2B promotion model in the gaming industry.

Meanwhile, ANF's growth momentum has been strong recently... mainly because the Avalon products behind the website are really impressive. FGO has already proven that the website's users are receptive to anime-style mobile games.

Although major game developers are not very willing to share revenue with other platforms.

However, for some medium-sized game developers, joint operation is a good approach because they don't have to go through the trouble of finding users themselves or cultivating their own customer base. Existing platforms can better control the cost of game promotion.

ANF ​​is clearly an extremely high-quality joint operation platform for anime-style mobile games.

FGO's success proves that this platform is full of users who are the target audience for second-generation games!

Obviously.

The game developers who obtained the game adaptation rights to Rumi's works had the same idea, so they came to us.

But they crashed.

"..."

Tang Yao hesitated for a moment before asking, "What's the name of this game?"

Li Xue replied, "It's written later, 'The Edict of the Dark Night'."

"..."

Tang Yao silently flipped through the pages, then thought for a moment: "How about this, you ask them to send over a game demo first, and tell them that we need to play it and see if the game meets our requirements before we can give them a reply."

Li Xue asked with some curiosity, "Are we really going to accept this?"

"Let's see how well they play the game. If it passes the test, I won't mind... Of course, to avoid making them mind, I will also truthfully tell them about the collaboration between FGO and the game 'Nightfall'."

Tang Yao replied, "If it's not the same type and the gameplay is good enough, the theme overlap isn't a big problem. After all, FGO is just a collaboration gacha pool, not an adaptation game that's clashing."

"understood."

Upon hearing this, Li Xue thought about it and felt it made sense, so she immediately turned around to make the arrangements.

three days later.

Tang Yao sat in her seat and started playing "Dark Night Decree".

Li Xue sat to the side, sipping her coffee and observing Tang Yao's expression.

then.

She saw that Tang Yao's fair and beautiful face visibly became distorted.

Li Xue put down her cup, having roughly figured things out.

Less than half an hour.

Tang Yao put down her phone and said directly, "Reject them."

"Can't you?"

Although Li Xue had already guessed the result, she still asked a question.

"Yeah, it's just a reskinned version of FGO, the quality is terrible."

Tang Yao gently shook her head.

Although she wouldn't dare say that she could fully understand the preferences of the players in this world.

But as someone who experienced the mobile game boom in my previous life, and a veteran player who has played countless games.

She can tell at a glance which games will be disliked by players.

If ANF promotes a game like this... it will be met with a barrage of criticism from players.

This is actually the reason why Tang Yao dared to acquire ANF and was not afraid of video websites burning money; Avalon's game revenue was one aspect.

On the other hand, it was because of Tang Yao's knowledge from her previous life.

She can use her experience to select suitable games for the ANF website.

"Okay, I'll reply to them."

Li Xue trusted Tang Yao's judgment and stood up.

"and many more."

Tang Yao called out to Li Xue, then rummaged through her desk and found a stack of manuscripts, handing them to Li Xue: "If you're going to ANF, I'll give you this too. This is the manuscript for this issue of 'Chainsaw Man'."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Li Xue paused, took the manuscript, and asked curiously, "So fast? How will this episode unfold? Will the main characters resolve the crisis?"

Tang Yao smiled brightly and replied, "You'll know once you've seen it."

Li Xue looked at Tang Yao with some suspicion before reaching out to take it.

soon.

She took the manuscript and went downstairs to ANF.

On the way, I briefly flipped through the next two chapters of "Chainsaw Man".

But as I walked and flipped through the pages, I found myself...

Li Xue suddenly stopped in front of the elevator, her mind completely focused on the comic book.

They completely forgot their purpose.

Until the moment she saw Machima appear.

She suddenly snapped out of her daze, turned around, and decided not to go to ANF for now; she wanted to find Tang Yao and ask her about the upcoming plot!
……

soon.

The 25th and 26th episodes of Chainsaw Man have been updated.

As always, Su Deqiang sat in front of his computer early, waiting for the update. This time, he didn't need to specifically seek out a mood, because there was no hiatus, and the anticipation from last week still lingered.

And it was just updated.

He then opened the comic book with great interest.

then.

He saw Hime in the manga, who gave everything to the ghost demon in exchange for the demon saving Hayakawa Aki.

Su Deqiang watched helplessly as this handsome, seasoned professional, mature woman who had weathered many storms, lost her arms one by one, then her body, and finally her entire body, as the ghost demon made its move.

The entire person was erased.

All that was left was a pile of clothes.

To die so easily, quickly, and cleanly, just like accidentally spilling a glass of water, and that's it.

The ghost she summoned by sacrificing herself was swallowed whole by the giant snake... it only lasted a few seconds.

The plot, coupled with its superb scene composition and powerful emotional rendering, is truly remarkable.

This silenced Su Deqiang.

Besides its neurotic side, this comic also unmistakably reveals its cruel side.

Especially when you see the next chapter, even though Ghost Demon desperately pulls the ring to transform Denji into Chainsaw Man, he is ultimately cut in half by the Samurai Sword Demon.

on the screen.

The demon's declaration, wielded by a katana, came into view: 'Demon hunters are human too! Humans can't win against guns!'

then.

The corpses of the demon hunters who had been attacked and shot appeared one by one.

They all lay dead in pools of blood.

Su Deqiang was stunned.

Himeya is dead.

Machima is dead.

The demon hunter, who was suspected to be part of the main characters, also died.

No.

What's going on with this comic?
...Don't you want to draw anymore?

He just thought so.

The camera then shifts back to the beginning of it all.

On the tram where Machima was shot.

After assessing the situation, the assassins who launched the attack were discussing how to evacuate.

then.

Next scene.

Covered in blood, Machima suddenly stood up, the gunshot wound on her head gone, and stared expressionlessly at the assassins.

The assassins instinctively raised their guns.

The screen disappears.

Move to outside the station.

Two newly introduced demon hunters are waiting for Makima.

soon.

Makima, covered in blood, stepped out of the tram and, facing the two bewildered new demon hunters, told them directly that a shooting had occurred inside and asked them to handle the bodies.

When the two asked why he was covered in blood and whether he had been shot, he did not respond.

Machima remained expressionless and said directly, "I wasn't hit."

But the next scene is also the last scene of this episode.

The four assassins lay dead in pools of blood, their chests ripped open.

And in this episode, Aori is—'a lie dissolved in blood'.

"..."

Su Deqiang was slightly taken aback when he saw this, then muttered, "Holy crap..."

……

at the same time.

Guan Fang stared at the screen, watching the final scene of Machima appear, and slowly typed a question mark.

As an editor who is very discerning, she certainly possesses a certain level of appreciation skills.

She was no stranger to the plot of dying and coming back to life.

But what's going on with this comic?
Wait, how did the female lead come back to life?
The male protagonist is cut in half at the waist, and the female protagonist is resurrected.

Can they even take turns?

And what is this all about? Was it foreshadowed all along? Or did they get carried away with it before the new year and are now urgently changing it back?

Why does this comic book always leave things hanging?!

The female lead was shot and killed before the Lunar New Year.

Now, the supporting characters have vanished, the main character has been cut short, and the female lead has inexplicably been resurrected.

Why does the plot seem like it's about to fall apart? And why is there so much suspense in every episode?

Even she's starting to care!

Could it be... just like my daughter said, that the plot won't fall apart and won't enter a true period of calm?

……impossible!

Absolutely impossible!
Guan Fang shook her head vigorously, finding it hard to believe. If the main character had been cut short, who could possibly save the main character group?
The plot is definitely going to fall apart in the next episode, right?

Ok.

As he pondered this, he also considered checking the readers' reviews.

But that's it.

Suddenly, my phone rang.

Guan Fang glanced at her phone, then frowned slightly.

The person in charge of the game company that bought the rights to "Nightfall"? What does he want by calling?
Guan Fang found it strange.
