Chapter 219 The Power of Dreams (66)

[An unknown player has finally cleared the dream realm, positive emotions +150]

Chen Yu was also very satisfied with Lu Ziqi's performance.

The multi-threaded narrative approach to dreams had never been used before, but it turned out to be surprisingly suitable here.

I initially thought the dream was a little too difficult, but judging from Lu Ziqi's performance, it doesn't seem to be a big problem.

The other party kept trying and became increasingly addicted, with a flood of negative emotions surging in, only providing a moment of positive emotion upon final success.

The gameplay of the dream world has been proven. The next step is to continuously refine the first chapter's storyline, add more items and ways to complete the game, and do our best to make the first chapter a success.

Then, the first chapter can be used as a template to continue to optimize and iterate, and eventually the whole story can be completed so that everyone can understand that period of history.

Three days later, Lu Ziqi completed the first batch of models.

Upon seeing these character models, Chen Yu noticed that Lu Ziqi seemed to have become even stronger.

Every model is exactly as he imagined. Whether it's the ordinary but righteous reporter, the petite but courageous Zhang Ai, or the adorable ant girl, each character's personality is very specific, making you feel that there is a story behind them at a glance.

The scene setup is also very meticulous, perfectly restoring the scene of Tianyuan back then, making people feel as if they are in that era.

Lu Ziqi even corrected many details that Chen Yu hadn't noticed, making Chen Yu realize that such good art is really hard to find.

Satisfied with the import of the model, Chen Yu was just about to publish the dream when he saw that the publication had failed.

Looking at the failure message with confusion, he realized that the reason for his failure was that the price was too low.

"Strange, is six yuan low? In all my previous dreams, it was always six yuan."

Puzzled, he sent his question to Shi Ling, who quickly replied: "It is a bit low."

Chen Yu: [That shouldn't be the case. My previous "Dream Man" series was also six yuan.]

Shi Ling: [That's because "The Dreamer" has ten dreams in total, each of which is a smaller dream, so it only costs six yuan. Added together, it would be sixty yuan, but with a 20% discount, it's forty-eight yuan.]

Chen Yu: [Can't it be free?]

Shi Ling: […Mr. Chen, you're an apprentice dream architect, you can't work for free. Besides, many dream architects rely on dreams to make a living; what you're doing is taking away their livelihood.]

Chen Yu: [But can't I just post it on Tianyuan?]

Shi Ling: [According to the Star Lord's rules, trainees can only work on all platforms unless they apply. However, the application process is quite complicated.]

Chen Yu: [Can I post it on Tianyuan and then receive in-kind subsidies from Tianyuan?]

Shi Ling: [Chen, I can't say yes, and I can't say no, do you understand?]

Chen Yu: [Got it, got it.]

With a sigh, Chen Yu knew he couldn't avoid this hurdle.

As usual, he chose to remain anonymous, named the dream "Out of Control," and prepared to release it at a price of 48.

Subsequent updates are considered supplementary packs and are free of charge.

However, before the release, he looked at the pricing and felt something was off.

This price may reduce the income from each dream, but it often creates a "small profit, quick turnover" effect, allowing you to make a profit again.

Not only that, because the price is cheap, they will also exaggerate and give themselves a huge boost of positive emotions.

He could already picture what those little devils looked like, so this time he couldn't let things continue like this; he had to deliver a powerful blow to them.

I want to raise the price! Raise it significantly!
I'm going to sell this dream for 298, making everyone hesitate to come and experience it.

Moreover, this dream is only the first chapter, and subsequent updates are far from being released. Such shameless behavior can not only deter potential buyers, but also generate negative emotions for them.

After all, they are anonymous, and no one knows what they did before, so it's unlikely that they would spend money to gamble.

As for Tianyuan players, they can buy Dreamland and get meal replacement vouchers. One Dreamland costs 15 "Thirty and Sitting" vouchers, which is definitely worth the money.

After figuring it out, Chen Yu happily set the price of Dreamland at 298 and then released it.

As he predicted, Out of Control was almost completely ignored after its release.

There were hardly any comments in the comment section. This dream with its strange name, high price, and only one chapter was obviously a money pit. Passing by and spitting on it would be a reward.

However, at Tianyuan, "Out of Control" received a different treatment.

After immersing himself in the story for three hours and finally achieving a typical ending, Luo Tong let out a heartfelt exclamation.

"Art!" Luo Tong exclaimed. "This is the first time I've seen this kind of gameplay. Three paths intertwine, and you achieve the level completion condition by matching the actions of the three paths. This dream is so artistic."

“Yes,” Glasses couldn’t help but sigh. “Moreover, the plot is very detailed. The three routes unlock different clues, and the process of collecting evidence is also a process of understanding the history of that time. To be honest, it was really infuriating to know that the former committee knew about the existence of the Blood Burning Pill and still allowed Ant Mighty Company to use it.”

"No, that's right!" the short man said, clenching his fist.

"Damn it!" The tall, thin man nodded.

Gong Jin also tried the dream, and found it a bit difficult.

The three lines were a bit complicated for an elderly person like him, and he couldn't remember the contents without taking notes.

However, he liked how realistic the dream was.

Each failure brought back his past impressions, making him realize how rampant Ant Power Company was back then and how despicable the former committee was.

When creating the dream, Chen Yu didn't shy away from anything or deliberately emphasize anything.

However, the gameplay of collecting evidence naturally requires players to understand that period of history and to glimpse the greed and shamelessness of the other party through their words, thereby developing a grudge against the former committee.

Although some people say that "Out of Control" is a smear campaign against the former committee, these guys become clowns when others realize that the smear campaign is done by recounting what the other party did.

Upon discovering that his third companion was an ant, Gong Jin found it both amusing and yet perfectly logical.

After all, the first two lines had already given a lot of hints, so the appearance of the ants was not surprising, and even lessened his aversion to ants.

As later chapters are released, players will be able to learn more about the story behind the ants, thus laying the groundwork for the Gold-Eating Ant.

This must be the power of dreams.

To be able to fulfill so many conditions at once in a dream, Chen Yu, you are indeed a master.

However, he still didn't quite understand why "Out of Control" was priced so high.

If the goal is to let others know what the former committee did, shouldn't a lower price be set?

After hearing Gong Jin's question, Luo Tong thought for a moment and also expressed his incomprehension.

However, since it was Mr. Chen's idea, there must be a reason behind it.

If we just wait quietly, then the truth will float down the river upstream along with the bodies of the former committee members.

　Sorry, it's really late today, I'm so sorry.
