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

Chapter 7 Young People Should Sleep In

The system screen in front of Lu Yu suddenly flashed with huge words burning with flames:
CRITICAL!

"Huh? What's wrong?" Lu Yu raised his head, looking confused.

He had just downloaded the client online game of this world and was casually sighing when his leisure points suddenly skyrocketed, scaring him.

You know, now Liu Mengyuan's rebate rate is only 10%, so she got 1 point, which is equivalent to Lu Yu getting 10 points.

No wonder the system prompts that a critical hit has occurred!
But, he didn't do anything, so why did he attack this girl so violently?!

"nothing."

Liu Mengyuan covered her mouth and laughed, gave Lu Yu a look that said "I understand everything", and continued to concentrate on making it.

Emmm... Never mind, just ignore her.

Lu Yu continued playing games.

Soon, Liu Mengyuan drew various cat girls running snack stalls and amusement stalls.

Lv4's master-level cat-stroking skills allow her to know the cat's habitual movements very well. She has added interactive animations to each cat girl, such as feeding and petting.

But...even though the game looks good, it's still not fun.

She was feeling distressed when Lu Yu's complaints came from across the table:

"Damn, how many NPCs do I need to visit to learn a skill?"

These unintentional words once again awakened Liu Mengyuan.

Yeah! Just the animation being different would be too boring.

Why not? Each cat girl NPC has her own preferences and personality. Players can unlock hidden content by interacting with them!

Catgirls are no longer just enemies, but are now captureable. For example, the catgirl selling pancakes in the park, after players capture her and make her their partner, they can learn two skills:
Pancake Tornado: Catgirl spreads a round pancake forward, which spins rapidly and creates a powerful hurricane, blowing away enemies. These cyclones can also push boxes that are blocking the way or change the wind direction in the level, allowing players to skip classes and clear levels.

Pancake Shield: When attacked by multiple enemies, Catgirl can summon pancakes to form a shield to defend against the enemy's attacks. The shield can last for a period of time and can resist damage.

Liu Mengyuan quickly made the skill animation and used the same idea to create more cat girls.

With the help of development components, she can also independently complete the implementation of functional logic.

Now, the game has become much more interesting. If there is any flaw, it feels that the main story is too clichéd.

A hamster that got lost in an amusement park went through untold hardships to return home and reunite with its owner. Just listening to it makes people so bored that they want to sleep.

Although she is an artist, if the game is not fun, the company will go bankrupt and the cheat code will be untied. She must do her best!
Lu Yu's exclamation came again, interrupting her thoughts.

"Damn, it turns out the final boss is his dad. This plot twist is really exciting, worthy of being a Baolei production!"

These words once again surged through her mind like an electric current.

Yup!

The plot could obviously add more twists, such as:

John's owner deliberately left him in Cat Girl Paradise!

However, if it is simply abandonment, it will inevitably fall into cliché.

Is there a possibility that John's owner left it here for an experiment? And the subjects of the experiment are those cat girls.

The reason why John was chosen is because John is very special and his genes may promote the awakening of the cat girl's abilities.

Behind this, there may be a connection between this seemingly abandoned amusement park and these unattended cat girls. Is there a mastermind behind the scenes manipulating them? What is the purpose of these masterminds in taming the cat girls?

Going one step further, have the mastermind behind the park and John's family known each other for years?!
Liu Mengyuan's thoughts were pouring out as he typed frantically on the keyboard.

……

Thursday evening.

Lu Yu stretched.

I spent a week and wanted to earn some leisure points by playing games.

But after playing domestic and foreign games of this era, Lu Yu had only one feeling: boring and frivolous.

First, he played "TT Speed," "TT Dance," and "TT Cool Run," all produced by Tenghui Interactive Entertainment's Dimei Studio Group...

Compared with their predecessors, these competitive games have changed beyond recognition and focus more on PVP and the experience of players who spend money.

For example, in the TT Speed ​​​​prop race, all the items in a character's account are not bound. You can use your own armored racing car to create other players' cars and explode their gold coins.

Everything in other people’s accounts, including coupons, gold coins, skin appearances, and racing cars that they have painstakingly saved for several years, can be dropped in PK competitions.

After a race, the ground is littered with golden points and out-of-print racing cars.

The winners soar to success, while the losers waste several years of hard work.

In TT Dance, several characters can dance and fight each other to grab the costumes on each other's accounts. When the game is settled, no matter how much they have grabbed, it will be counted as their own.

More importantly, all props in Tenghui Interactive Entertainment's games can be monetized on the official trading platform, Baibaoge.

Therefore, it is no problem for a team or dance troupe that can PK to earn thousands of W annually.

Although it sounds exciting, it is destined that only top-tier spenders will have the gaming experience, because the big guys' equipment values ​​are overwhelming.

Most other players have to spend a lot of time practicing their skills just to keep the stuff on their accounts.

The whole game was very tiring and exciting, it was like I was finding a class for myself.

But why do people still play it? Because other domestic games are more involuted and cruel than Tenghui!
Playing games is a necessity for many young people to pass the time, so they can only make do with it.

Afterwards, Lu Yu played foreign games that were distributed by agents.

"World of Dragons" and "Light Destroyer" represented by Youyi Company are produced by the veteran American developer Baolei Company.

Originally, these two games were quite playable, but soon the company that launched the game turned against them and introduced a large number of unlimited PK systems, equipment stores, and paid mounts, which led to excessive internal competition among players and a plummet in reputation.

At last year's Thunder Carnival, the producer announced that "Light Destroyer" will introduce a national war system, which is simply another version of the attack on the city of Shabak, and sells a god-killing sword that will deduct 9999 health with one hit.

Facing the protests from the players in the audience, the producer said with a smile:
"Dear players, don't you have to compete with others when you go out? Then I advise you to stay at home and be a good baby to your mother."

Since then, some players have put up a banner: Any product produced by Baolei must be a thug.

There are still many masterpieces from console game manufacturers in this world, but none of them have entered the domestic market. Lu Yu decided to play with them slowly later.

He stretched and accidentally opened the project file of Cat Girl Paradise, and was shocked.

I didn't expect the game to have so many more things.

The submitter of these changes is Liu Mengyuan.

He randomly picked an illustration and found that although Liu Mengyuan's painting was still very abstract, it could be seen that after he had made no progress on the tenth illustration, he suddenly seemed to have gotten the hang of it and made obvious progress.

Is she a genius?!
"You added anything to the game?"

"Well, I'm free anyway..."

"Are you not tired?" Lu Yu looked serious.

"It's okay. I'm happy with what I'm doing."

Thinking back to the past few days, Lu Yu breathed a sigh of relief as the system did not prompt him to deduct points.

However, this week, he and Liu Mengyuan earned a total of 20 leisure points at the cat cafe, which was less than last week.

He still felt pained when he thought that he might have lost a lot of potential points because of Liu Mengyuan's overwork.

"Pay attention to the balance between work and rest. Game development or something else doesn't matter. The key is to not overwork yourself, okay?"

"Ah."

Liu Mengyuan tucked her long hair behind her ears, a shy look on her face. A game producer actually said that game development didn't matter for his own sake.

This man really has me in his heart!

[Employee Liu Mengyuan feels happy and cheerful, leisure points +0.5]

Afterwards, Lu Yu did not carefully read all the things Liu Mengyuan submitted. He just improved the code that might cause bugs and clicked the scheduled release button.
The game will be officially released next Monday.

But for some reason, Lu Yu had an illusion that after these two weeks of development, his ability to troubleshoot code and fix bugs had become more and more proficient, which made his dead workplace memories begin to attack him: fixing bugs before going online and applying patches after going online.

This feeling is not good.

At the same time, a system prompt popped up in front of Liu Mengyuan:

[Congratulations, your boss Lu Yu has fixed the 100th bug, triggering the guaranteed fix. His bug troubleshooting ability has been upgraded to Lv2.]

The corners of her mouth curved like a cat's.

Very good, Mr. Lu Yu, please earn more proficiency points for me.

……

On the weekend, Lu Yu lay leisurely on the bed playing with his mobile phone.

He is the leader of the dormitory, and the other three buddies, the second and third in the dormitory are preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination, while the fourth in the dormitory, Chuxiong, is doing interview questions. They all seem busy and nervous.

During the rainy season in midsummer, the dim fluorescent lights make the dormitory seem even more depressing.

At this time, the second son Wang Chen’s laptop was broadcasting a live broadcast of the postgraduate entrance examination sprint lecture.

"Many students say, 'Teacher, the exam is still six months away.' But I want to say, you're competing with millions of people!

Also, I want to single out Wang Chen for criticism. Last night, everyone was studying in the live studio, but you were the only one who had so much to do, wanting to go to bed at 12 a.m.!
How old are you? It’s time for you to try your best.

How can you sleep at your age? Do you deserve to sleep?!

Wang Chen had dark circles under his eyes and his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was dissatisfied, but he remained silent.

The tuition for postgraduate entrance examination classes is not low. If you swear at the other party directly, you will give them a handle.

Suddenly, a system light screen popped up in front of Lu Yu:
[Employee Liu Mengyuan feels slightly tired, leisure points -0.1]

[Employee Liu Mengyuan is happy about trying new art techniques. Leisure Points +0.1]

Why do the points keep jumping up and down?
Made a phone call.

"Miss Liu, you're so busy even on this weekend. Are you modifying the project documents again?"

"Oh. I thought, since it's going to be launched soon, I might as well draw a game cover. Games on the Youyi platform have a trial run before they're launched, and it won't look good without a cover."

Of course, there was another reason that Liu Mengyuan didn't tell Lu Yu.

The first round of refresh cycle for Liu Mengyuan's system mall is exactly 14 days, and Monday is the deadline. She wants to gain more proficiency points before the deadline so that she can buy the talents she wants in the mall.

"Okay, once you've finished the painting, it's done. Go to bed early. Also, if you have nothing to do, you can sleep until noon tomorrow. After all..."

Lu Yu glanced at Wang Chen's computer screen. The female teacher was still criticizing Wang Chen with saliva flying.

He deliberately raised his voice:

"Young people should sleep in more!"

Then hung up the phone.

"Who? Who interrupted me!" The voice in the computer rose an octave.

"Wang Chen, your Mai! Do you have any problem with me?"

"No, teacher, I didn't say anything." Wang Chen suppressed a smile and said calmly, "My roommate was chatting with someone else."

"Is your roommate also from our platform? What's his name? I'll have someone check his student ID!"

"No, he's not taking the postgraduate entrance exam."

"Is he taking the civil service exam? Our platform has a civil service exam service, but I'll still make sure he doesn't have a good time!"

Lu Yu lazily propped up his head, crossed his legs, and said to the computer:

"Alright, alright, stop making trouble, Mr. Bi. I won't test you on anything. Just attend your class.

Damn, young people don’t deserve to sleep. That’s right. If you don’t sell some anxiety, your half-baked knowledge will be exposed.

A truly good teacher wouldn't force students to stay up late. To put it bluntly, their teaching methods are not good."

"What did you say! Try saying it again!" The computer microphone broke.

At this time, the other passionate students in the live broadcast room could no longer bear it:
"Okay, teacher, let's continue the class. Our tuition fee is not low."

"That's right, what's wrong with someone sleeping a little longer?"

"It's your roommate's phone call, it has nothing to do with you, why are you bothering him? And you even went to look up the exam number, what a genius."

The live broadcast room was silent for a moment.

The female teacher continued teaching as if nothing had happened, and her tone was even much more polite.

After all, one person confronting her and the whole class confronting her are two different things. The latter will result in losing her job.

[Speak your mind freely, be clear-minded, feel happy, leisure points +5]

Lu Yu was stunned.

What, you get paid for having fun arguing with people?

So fucking cool!
……

During lunch break, three fat heads gathered beside Lu Yu's bed.

"Brother Lu, how far have you and Liu Mengyuan progressed? You keep calling her Miss Liu. Oh, that's so intimate."

"I heard that you and her started a company, Brother Lu? Are you going to continue your relationship with the Game Research Society?"

Chu Xiong imitated Lu Yu's phone call just now, and said in a coquettish tone: "Dear, go to bed early~"

"roll roll roll!"

Lu Yu rolled his eyes and threw a bottle of iced black tea to each of them to send them off.

Then he stared at the ceiling in a daze.

In fact, he was also a little puzzled as to why Liu Mengyuan agreed to join the company so readily.

And he seems to be very happy these two weeks, and he criticizes himself at every turn.

I don't know what this girl is thinking. Is she a rich second-generation who is just having fun and experiencing life?

But my current situation is that I just lie down and live a leisurely life, and I am not as motivated as my three roommates.

In her eyes, I'm probably just a failed boss who's not doing his job properly.

How do I begin the first step of my strategy without scaring her?

Can't think of his sister.

Lu Yu stopped thinking and fell into a deep sleep.

……

On Monday, "Cat Girl World Adventure" was officially launched on the Youyi platform!
