You said you were going to make games, how did you become the richest man without doing anything?

Chapter 499 "氪金测试: 卧平人生" finale, rave reviews and hot sales across the Internet!
The piercing ring of the alarm clock pierced Tang Ping's dream, like a sharp blade, trying to sever his connection with the dream world. However, Tang Ping closed his eyes tightly, trying his best to grasp the fragments of the dream that were about to dissipate.

His consciousness swung between reality and dreams, but he resolutely chose to stay in the dream because there was the glory and achievement he had longed for.

The dream continued to unfold, as if a colorful scroll was slowly spreading before his eyes.

The scene shifted to the White Palace. Inside the office, sunlight streamed in through the massive floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a golden glow across the room. Behind his desk, the Grand Commander sat upright, his signature golden hair gleaming in the sunlight.

Suddenly, the office door was flung open, and a secretary in a dark suit rushed in. Beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and his breathing was rapid, clearly having run.

"Mr. Trump!" the secretary panted, "I have important news! Tang Ping, the Chinese player, has officially taken over as the Lord of the Imperial City!"

Upon hearing the news, the commander-in-chief suddenly stood up from his chair and slammed his hands heavily on the oak desk, making a loud "bang". The documents and pen holder on the desk were shaken and jumped up.

"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?" The commander-in-chief's face flushed red, his eyes flashing with excitement and anxiety. He quickly walked up to the secretary and grabbed his shoulder. "Hurry and arrange a special plane for me. I want to meet this player in person!"

The secretary was startled by the Commander-in-Chief's reaction, but quickly nodded his agreement. He turned and hurried off to arrange for the Commander-in-Chief's private plane. The Commander-in-Chief stood by the window, gazing at the distant sky, his mind already mulling over how to establish an alliance with the newly appointed "Lord of the Imperial City."

The scene shifted again, and Tang Ping found himself in an upscale restaurant. The light from the crystal chandelier shone on the snow-white tablecloth, and around him were people chatting in low voices. However, this elegant atmosphere was shattered by the scene before him.

In a corner of the restaurant, Tang Ping saw Xiaoli, the blind date who had once despised him. She was wearing an expensive designer dress and had delicate makeup on, but she had a sarcastic smile on her face.

"You can't even come up with 30 yuan, and you still have the nerve to come to see me?" Xiaoli said coldly, her voice full of contempt. "Get out of here, useless thing."

Tang Ping felt a surge of anger in his heart, but before he could say anything, a man in an expensive suit and with dazzling blond hair came over and put his arm around Xiaoli's waist.

"My dear Xiaoli," the blond man said in a sickeningly sweet tone, "a failure like this isn't even worthy of carrying your shoes!"

Xiaoli snuggled into the arms of the blond man and looked at Tang Ping with a provocative look: "Tang Ping, go now. I have decided to marry Young Master Zhang. Young Master Zhang is very capable and has great connections. He is much better than you."

Tang Ping clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms. He tried hard to control his emotions, but anger and humiliation surged in his chest like boiling magma.

"Don't regret it!" Tang Ping said gritting his teeth, his voice full of suppressed anger and firm determination.

At this moment, Tang Ping felt a surge of dizziness. The dream began to blur, and the surrounding scenery distorted like a stirred watercolor painting. He desperately tried to hold on to this dream, but the gravity of the real world seemed to pull him back.

……

Just as Tang Ping's fists clenched, a commotion erupted outside the restaurant. A shiny black, stretched-back Lincoln slowly approached the street, its large, gilded American emblem gleaming in the sun. Before the car even came to a stop, bodyguards in suits filed out, forming a human wall around it.

One of the bodyguards held up a loud speaker and announced in a booming voice: "The President of the United States has arrived!"

This sudden scene stunned everyone in the restaurant. Zhang Shao's face turned pale, and his arrogant demeanor disappeared without a trace. He hurriedly adjusted his suit and stumbled towards the door.

"Thank you for your visit, Commander-in-Chief. I apologize for not welcoming you in person." Zhang Shao bowed, his voice trembling.

However, to everyone's surprise, the commander-in-chief ignored Young Master Zhang after getting out of the car. His signature golden hair gleamed in the sunlight, and a look of disdain hung on his face. Suddenly, he swung his right hand and landed a heavy punch directly on Young Master Zhang's face.

With a thud, Zhang Shao fell to the ground. He covered his mouth, blood seeping from between his fingers, and several front teeth fell to the ground along with the blood foam. Everyone around him gasped, staring at the scene in amazement.

The commander-in-chief shook his fist, a satisfied smile on his face. Then, he walked straight towards Tang Ping, completely ignoring Zhang Shao who was still groaning in pain on the ground.

Under everyone's astonished gaze, the Grand Commander walked up behind Tang Ping, knelt on one knee, and placed his right hand on his chest, performing a standard knight's etiquette. He looked up at Tang Ping and said respectfully, "The Grand Commander greets the Lord of the Imperial City!"

This scene exploded in the restaurant like a bombshell. Everyone stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what they were seeing. Zhang Shao struggled to get up from the ground, still spitting blood and broken teeth. Xiaoli was completely stunned, her carefully applied makeup distorted by surprise.

"So you are the Lord of the Imperial City?!" Zhang Shao and Xiao Li exclaimed in unison, their voices filled with shock and fear.

Tang Ping slowly turned around, facing the stunned crowd. His lips curled up into a confident yet slightly sinister smile, a smile that reminded people of the popular "Crooked Mouth Dragon King" meme.

"Okay, I'm done pretending," Tang Ping said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice, "I'm laying my cards on the table."

These words echoed in the restaurant like a thunderclap.

Zhang Shao and Xiao Li's faces turned pale instantly, as if all the blood had been drained from them. They realized that the person they had just humiliated was not an ordinary person, but a great figure who even the great leader of the United States had to kneel down to.

The commander-in-chief stood up, patted Tang Ping on the shoulder, and said with a flattering smile: "Lord City Lord, we have prepared a special plane and can depart for the White Palace at any time. Do you want to leave now, or..."

Tang Ping shook his head slightly, his eyes swept over Zhang Shao and Xiao Li, and the smile on his lips deepened. "No hurry, how about we have a meal here first? I think some of the people here may have a lot of interesting stories to tell."

The two men across from them turned even paler when they heard this, cold sweat trickling down their foreheads. They knew that their fate was now completely in the hands of this man they had once despised.

……

Jingle bell bell bell bell…

The alarm clock sounded again at an inopportune time.

The game pops up the final ending screen:

"Whether this scene is a dream or reality depends entirely on your understanding."

The audience in the live broadcast room felt that they had not seen enough and began to debate whether the last scene was a dream.

As the game ended, the livestream's comments instantly erupted, with viewers discussing and arguing over this unforgettable ending.

"This is absolutely a dream!" a viewer with the ID "Rationalist 123" was the first to speak out. "Everyone, don't forget, in the late game, the main city streets were deserted. Where were all the players before? It's obviously illogical."

"What a dream!" another viewer named "Shuangwen Enthusiast" immediately retorted, "Such a wonderful ending, of course it must be true! Tang Ping has finally made it big. How long have we been waiting for this moment?"

The barrage scrolled rapidly, and players supporting the two views each held their own opinions.

"But the appearance of the commander-in-chief is too outrageous, isn't it? Isn't this clearly a dream?" The viewer with the ID "Guardian of Common Sense" retorted.

"Have you ever thought," a viewer named "Philosophical Thinker" interjected, "that maybe the entire game was a dream of Tang Ping? From beginning to end."

As soon as this view came out, it immediately triggered a new round of heated discussion.

"I think the final line, 'Whether this scene is a dream or reality depends entirely on your understanding,' is the key," said a viewer named "Detail Control." "The game team is telling us that the answer isn't important; what matters is our own understanding and feelings."

"That's right!" another viewer, nicknamed "Sentimental Party," echoed. "Regardless of whether it was a dream or not, the important thing is that Tang Ping's equipment was instantly recovered, giving Xiao Li a slap in the face. We had a great time watching it! This is the meaning of the game."

The debate continued to escalate, but it seemed as if a consensus could never be reached. Some began discussing the game's production philosophy, while others began to imagine possible sequels. Ultimately, a comment from a viewer named "Rational Speech" was echoed by many: "Perhaps this ambiguous ending is precisely the charm of the game. It allows each of us to have our own interpretation and our own preferred ending. Isn't that what a good game should do?"

With the emergence of this view, the atmosphere in the live broadcast room gradually calmed down. Although the debate continued, more viewers began to share their experiences and feelings in the game, and the focus of the discussion shifted from a single ending to the entire gaming experience.

……

After the anchor Xiaoyao Sanren finished the live broadcast of "氪金测试: 平平人生", he immediately posted a long article on the social platform, giving high praise to the game -

“Hey guys, I have to say that “Krypton Gold Simulator: Lying Down Life” is one of the most interesting games I have played in recent years. This game has reached an amazing level in many aspects.

First and foremost, the game's graphical quality is simply stunning. Despite being a legendary pay-to-win simulation, every scene is meticulously designed and filled with detail. From the protagonist Tang Ping's cramped rental apartment to the bustling city streets and finally the imperial city, every scene is vividly lifelike, making you feel like you're truly there.

The storyline is even more captivating. The protagonist, Tang Ping, rises from an ordinary office worker to the powerful lord of the imperial city, a journey filled with ups and downs that leaves you wanting more. The ending, in particular, leaves room for imagination, allowing each of us to interpret it in our own way. This open-ended ending is truly remarkable.

The gameplay is also very novel. It simulates various situations in real life, from work, love to investment and financial management, and every choice will affect the character's future.

Of course, there is also my favorite SPA!

This high degree of gameplay freedom allows each player to create a unique gaming experience.

The system design is also very clever, especially the krypton gold system. It not only simulates various temptations in reality, but also cleverly sets various traps, allowing players to experience the ups and downs of life in the process of krypton gold.

The music is also a highlight. The soundtrack is sometimes cheerful and joyful, sometimes heavy and depressing, which perfectly matches the development of the game's plot and enhances the player's sense of immersion.

However, I think the greatest value of this game lies in its practical significance.

Through the experiences of the protagonist Tang Ping, the game profoundly reveals the dangers of blindly spending money. We see that every impulsive spending can have disastrous consequences. The game teaches us that success doesn't rely on luck or shortcuts, but requires hard work and wisdom.

In general, "氪金测试: 懒懒的生活" is not only an excellent game, but also a mirror that reflects the lifestyles and values ​​of many 氪金 bosses.

At least I think there is no real shortcut to "氪金" in life. Only by keeping your feet on the ground can you realize your dreams.

Finally, I would like to express my respect to the game development team. You have created a work that is both interesting and meaningful. I hope to see more such excellent domestic games in the future!

Once this post was published, it immediately sparked widespread discussion and sharing, with many players expressing their agreement and sharing their own insights into the game.
……

Under this post, many players expressed their amazement and praised Taoyuan Township for being awesome!
"Holy crap, Taoyuan Township is really awesome this time! This game has completely changed my life!"

"Teacher Sanren is right! That krypton gold system is so well designed, it almost emptied my wallet, hahahaha"

"Brothers, I think I've finally figured it out! It turns out blind dates aren't the solution. I need to start a new life!"

"I have to say, the scene in the game where they sell things at the pawn shop made me laugh to death. It's so realistic!"

“My favorite is the old legendary graphics. It looks retro but full of details. It’s amazing!”

"Guys, I think the ending was a stroke of genius. Was it a dream?"

"Taoyuan Township's operation is amazing. They have made great use of social hot spots. I admire you!"

"Teacher Sanren is right, this game is like a real-life simulator. It's so realistic!"

"My favorite thing is the memes in the game. Each one is funnier than the last. It makes me laugh to death!"

"I just want to ask, is Taoyuan Township hiring? I love this game so much, I want to go and serve them tea and water!"

"Teacher Sanren, please play the second round! I've already started imagining the sequel plot and can't stop!"

Soon, the live streaming segments of the anchors’ live games became popular.

Secondary creations, live commentary, and strategy guides related to the anchor have broken through the circle and become hot searches!

……

As the popularity of "氪金测试: 平平人生" continues to rise, a buying spree for the game has also followed, creating a crazy scene for a while.

The game's official website became the primary battleground for players. Every morning at 10 a.m., the purchase channel opened promptly, and every time, the tickets sold out in just minutes. Some players even stayed up all night in front of their computers just to be the first to get their hands on their favorite games. The website's servers frequently crashed under the overwhelming traffic, forcing the technical team to work overtime day and night to maintain system stability.

Some skilled gamers began creating lottery-buying scripts, exploiting the program's high-speed response to increase their chances of winning. These scripts became widely circulated among gamers, and even a dedicated trading market for them emerged. Some players even paid exorbitant prices for a supposedly "unwavering" script.

Group buying has also emerged. Numerous group buying groups have appeared on various gaming forums and social media platforms, where players band together to boost their chances of success through collective effort. Some influential influencers have even organized super-group buying groups of tens of thousands, claiming direct access to official channels and priority purchase rights.

Scalpers, sensing an opportunity, began hoarding games. They used various tactics to snap up large quantities of games and then resold them on the secondary market at exorbitant prices. For a time, secondary prices skyrocketed to several times the original price, yet even so, a large number of players remained willing to buy.

Some major game collectors are even more lavish, snapping up dozens of games at once. They not only play them themselves but also collect multiple versions, including limited editions and collector's editions. Some collectors even claim to have copies of every game released in every country, sparking a "collecting race."

Physical stores weren't immune to the buying frenzy either. Long lines formed outside every new arrival. Some players even started lining up a day in advance, just to be the first in. To maintain order, some stores had to limit the number of items each person could purchase and deployed security guards.

On social media, the phrase "I got it" has become a symbol of bragging. Players who have successfully purchased the game eagerly post screenshots of their purchase, drawing a barrage of envious and hateful comments. Meanwhile, those who haven't snagged a game vent their frustration and dissatisfaction on various platforms.

There were even some funny scenes: some company employees took sick leave, but actually stayed at home in front of their computers to buy games; some students skipped classes and ran to queue up in physical stores; and some couples quarreled because one of them secretly spent a lot of money to buy games from scalpers.

The rush to buy "氪金测试: 懒懒的生活" has become a national carnival!
