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

Chapter 6 He Has Me in His Heart

Moreover, Lu Yu discovered that the theory of diminishing pleasure threshold is still effective.

If he and Liu Mengyuan repeatedly visit the stalls on the pedestrian street that they have visited before, the leisure points they get will gradually decrease.

Therefore, Lu Yu would try to experience different new stalls with Liu Mengyuan every day to keep things fresh.

……

A week later on Monday, when Lu Yu accumulated 30 leisure points, he finally finished "Cat Girl Paradise Adventure".

Liu Mengyuan served as the first player to conduct a trial play.

The game's opening animation shows a hamster with a bulging belly waking up on an old-looking amusement park bench.

"My name is John, and I'm a hamster, but my friends call me 'Rat'."

"My careless little master left me here, but it doesn't matter. I've already escaped from the cage."

"Rat, I must go home today!"

Liu Mengyuan's delicate hands carefully pressed the handle, controlling the fat hamster to start breaking through the levels.

The pits and moving platforms at the beginning were not difficult, and even a girl like her with not very good skills could handle them easily.

Finally, I arrived in front of the first cat girl.

I looked at her from a distance, lying on the ground sleeping, looking harmless.

However, just as Liu Mengyuan was controlling Shushu to pass by her, a warning message suddenly appeared above the cat girl's head.

"Ah! That's annoying, meow~"

After a slightly awkward close-up animation, the hamster was blown away by the awakened cat girl with a big slap.

The fat rat rolled several times in the air before finally landing back on the bench where it started.

Seeing that all the journey just now was in vain, Liu Mengyuan stood there in a daze.

"Oh, there will be a warning value on the cat girl's head. You have to find a way to sneak past it without being discovered."

Lu Yu waved his hand.

"Ah, why did she fan so far?"

"Because it makes the game more challenging and interesting, and it also prolongs the gaming time."

Of course, these are all Lu Yu's serious nonsense. The real reason is that the algorithm used by the cat girl to slap the hamster away directly uses ready-made functional components.

He was not willing to write different movement algorithms based on each different cat girl and position. Although it was not difficult, it was very troublesome and full of workload. He didn't know how many leisure points he would have to deduct before he could finish it.

So, just put it there and that’s it.

"Emmm...how much does this game cost?"

"Five dollars."

Lu Yu was very self-aware and set the price at a very low price. He had no expectations for the performance of this game at all.

You know exactly what you are doing.

This "Cat Girl Paradise Adventure" has two purposes:

One is to complete the system tasks within the cycle, earn extra rewards, and take advantage of the system.

The second is to rely on the gimmick of the cat girl to attract LSPs to buy, and offset Liu Mengyuan’s labor costs for these 14 days, which would be considered a victory.

After all, the future two-dimensional overlord Mileyou is still a small, shabby studio now.

Even if the gameplay is not innovative, as long as it is replaced with a cute girl skin, it will be enough to sell hundreds of copies.

Now, Lu Yu’s business philosophy is that as long as the company survives, it is a success.

He had to enjoy life to the fullest. The development cycle was two weeks, so he could spend one week developing the game and the other week enjoying himself, drinking, and having fun, earning tons of leisure points. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
Fortunately, the system didn't seem to like to torment him, and didn't make him work hard to make money or lose money.

This system emphasizes lying down and posing, which is comfortable!
"The game is set to be released in a week, taking advantage of the summer movie season."

"So what are we doing next week?"

"Play." Lu Yu said concisely.

"???"

Liu Mengyuan was speechless. Her cat-stroking skills had already been upgraded to [Lv4 Grandmaster Cat Pet Scooper].

Mao Zhiming's cat now comes up to her as soon as it sees her.

Looking at Liu Mengyuan's suspicious eyes, Lu Yu suddenly realized that he should not behave too abnormally.

After all, not exposing the existence of the system is also one of the rules.

"Well, don't get me wrong. Although we are having fun, it's not a holiday. The company is still operating normally. Having fun is part of the job."

To increase his persuasiveness, he randomly searched for a sentence online. I don’t know which marketing account wrote this inspirational chicken soup.

“Career should be part of life, and life should be part of career.”

Transforming into a riddle man and leaving this ambiguous sentence, Lu Yu began to leisurely watch TV series, movies and games.

Leaving Liu Mengyuan sitting alone in a mess opposite.

Even though she was not a professional game planner, she could see that this game had not made significant progress compared to the "Way of Cats" previously developed by Game Research Society.

Cat's Way had previously sold 300 copies on the Youyi platform, and with the cat girl gimmick, the new game's sales were expected to be around 400 at most. At a price of 5 yuan, the maximum turnover was 2000 yuan, barely enough to cover half a month's salary, not counting the cost of various development components, even though those ubiquitous tool kits were already very cheap...

Her beautiful eyes looked at Lu Yu, the man was as calm as ever.

She had a misconception that playing games wasn't his main purpose at all, but just a side task. His real business was finding an excuse to go out on this street and have fun...

She felt that this man had changed.

Her impression of Lu Yu is that he pursues perfection and extremes in everything he does, and his personality is almost paranoid.

When he was making "The Way of Cats" in the club, in order to optimize the game before the deadline, he relied on several cans of Red Bull and worked all night for several days and nights, and his eyes were bloodshot.

This kind of Buddhism nowadays was really beyond her expectations.

Lu Yu was playing games leisurely there and glanced at Liu Mengyuan inadvertently.

The development is clearly complete, but she doesn't look relaxed at all. This is not good.

He called the waiter and served Liu Mengyuan a bowl of tiramisu.

"Try it, it's the hidden signature of this cat cafe."

Tiramisu comes in a small square shape, covered in fine cocoa powder and topped with chocolate.

Liu Mengyuan used a small spoon to cut open the dessert. The layers of golden cake and cream soaked in rich coffee were filled with fragrance.

Take a small piece and put it in your mouth. The texture is so smooth and tender on the tip of your tongue that it feels as if your taste buds are wrapped in clouds.

"What is this? It's so delicious!"

She widened her eyes and covered her cherry lips.

Since she was very young, Liu Lan strictly restricted her from eating sweets. This signature dessert made her discover a new world.

[Employee Liu Mengyuan is enjoying dessert and is in a good mood. Leisure points +0.5]

That’s right! This is the reaction of a Taoyuan Township employee.

Lu Yu nodded with satisfaction and continued playing the game.

Liu Mengyuan looked at the focused man in front of him. How should he put it? Although the feeling was different from when he was in the Game Research Society, this change in him... was not that annoying.

In the week since she joined the company, she seemed to be relaxed down to her very pores.

Since she was a child, her mother taught her that she must be the best in every field. She had never experienced this wonderful comfort and pleasure before.

Moreover, Lu Yu seemed to trust her quite a lot. As a producer, he never gave any comments on her paintings and just used them as they turned out.

Trust… Wait!?

Liu Mengyuan shuddered.

If you think about it carefully, this is his own company, he can't be so perfunctory.

So, will Lu Yu take the opportunity to secretly observe her over the next week to test whether she is qualified as an art partner? Is she worthy of continued trust?

No wonder! Lu Yu took even the subtle changes in his expression so seriously.

It was a close call. I almost fell for this man’s sugar-coated tricks!

An expression of having seen through everything appeared on Liu Mengyuan's pretty face.

Humph, just wait and see, Lu Yu. Since I have said that I will make you look at me with admiration, I will never admit defeat so easily!
She calmly logged into her Youyi Workshop account, opened the project file of Cat Girl Paradise, and began to think about it.

The stage background of Cat Girl Paradise has been outsourced, and she doesn't think her skills are better than the outsourced ones.

Then, can you take a step further in the cat girl art that you are responsible for?
After thinking hard for a while, her eyes were already circling like mosquito coils.

Wow, no wonder the gold medal game producers on TV are bald at such a young age. This is indeed a job that consumes a lot of brain cells.

Just when she was confused, suddenly, Lu Yu, who was sitting opposite her, looked at the computer and muttered to himself:
"Damn, so many careers to choose from?"

Um? What's the meaning?
Although Lu Yu did not look up, Liu Mengyuan had already started analyzing frantically.

This was probably his way of reminding me.

Occupation?

Yes, since it is a cat girl paradise, all cat girls should have different professions.

But how should it be designed?

Don't give up, Liu Mengyuan! He must have given you a hint.

Suddenly, Lu Yu's chicken soup just now flashed through her mind:
"Business should be part of life, and life should be part of business."

Life? Isn’t it just the pancake-making, marshmallow-making, and ring-tossing she’s been practicing these past few days?

Moreover, these professions are in line with the theme of "Paradise" and can be included in the game.

So that's why. No wonder Lu Yu took her to play with these and told her that this was part of the research and development.

All of Lu Yu's seemingly abnormal behavior these days has been reasonably explained and connected together!
In order for me to understand this, he did this for me...

This man has me in his heart!

A strong sense of sweetness and emotion surged from the bottom of my heart!

[Employee Liu Mengyuan feels trusted and is extremely happy, resulting in a critical hit. Leisure Points +1]
