My game is depressing worldwide.

"I knew you were cunning, but I never imagined you were this cunning!!"

Old Wei's face turned black.

He didn't watch much of the game in the Lincheng University live stream before leaving.

It needs to maintain a sense of novelty.

All I know is that this is a game with an incredibly shady design.

Even though I was mentally prepared, I still underestimated the game.

Especially since this is being broadcast live!

[Hey streamer, come on to Ball Farm, you're terrible at this game.]

[If you don't understand, is this a case of bots using cheats?]

[Hilarious, the AI's skills are better than the streamer's!]

[The flying spikes could have been easily pulled apart; the effect of the show was too deliberate.]

Old Wei felt his scalp tingling from the pressure.

Deliberately my foot!

"What do you mean 'deliberately'? I was playing very seriously!" Old Wei felt his blood pressure rising. "I really was straining myself, you can watch the video if you don't believe me!"

But all I got in return for those words was a string of "okay, okay, okay."

Old Wei took a deep breath, ready to try again.

"Hmm? Thanks for the plane from both inside and outside the gaming industry, thank you boss."

A row of question marks immediately appeared in the live chat.

[The boss is so stupid!!]

[It is recommended to apply for a refund for minors]

[Old Wei is doing well now, he's even able to get some freebies from SliceJun.]

Inside and outside the gaming industry?

Old Wei was stunned for a moment.

The rise of the live streaming industry has given rise to a special type of content creator (UP).

They don't livestream or make videos; they are simply content aggregators.

We will record the best and most exciting parts of a live broadcast, edit them appropriately, and then release them.

These types of content creators are collectively referred to as "Barbecue Man" or "Slice Master".

It can be said that these content creators and streamers have a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship.

Old Wei naturally knew all this.

However, while the number of viewers in his live stream is usually stable, it is not particularly large overall.

The number of times it was sliced ​​can be counted on one hand.

What's going on today? It actually attracted Slice-kun's arrival?

I was so engrossed in the game that I didn't notice the number of viewers in the live stream.

Looking at it now, I couldn't help but gasp in shock.

5600!

That's five times more than usual.

Moreover, judging from this trend, there is still room for further increases.

Many rare IP masterpieces only have 3000 to 4000 viewers when they are released.

The traffic is high, but there are also many streamers crowding into the same field.

In a game like "I Wanna Believe," which has explosive entertainment value, each person is essentially a race track.

No competitors!

Old Wei understood immediately and confidently said, "Whether you're in the industry or not, just for your plane, I have to prove to you the skill of the strongest player in the single-player side-scrolling jumping genre!"

Old Wei really wanted to show off his skills.

Unfortunately, half a minute later...

The live stream camera has been turned off.

Then came the clicking sound of a lighter, followed by a long sigh, or rather, the sound of smoke being exhaled.

Number of deaths x56

[The best, strongest, cake, hand!]

[Hilarious, where's the skill?]

Go back to Gotham; Batman said he won't hit you anymore.

[I saw the area, but didn't see the single-player mode.]

[I've called the police; the map maker is abusing animals.]

"Is the creator of this game a real psychopath?" Old Wei had no doubt.

Just after Lao Wei finished complaining.

The number of viewers in the live stream has officially exceeded 6000.

A new video with only 1 view has appeared on accounts both inside and outside the gaming community.

"Old Wei's Livestream Breaks Down: This Game Developer is a Psychopath"

...

...

The next day, Tuesday morning.

Chuangyou Technology Co., Ltd.

Cui Manzhou looked her up and down for a few moments, then couldn't help but ask, "Why do you look so listless? What's wrong?"

Chen Xuan rubbed his temples and exhaled a breath of alcohol: "I drank too much, the hangover is awful..."

Yesterday morning, many people thought Zhou Qian was using an unconventional presentation style, which attracted a lot of attention.

In reality, it was just a demonstration of an accident.

Zhou Qian's family background was average, unlike Yu Xiaoming who was a rich second generation.

He messed up such an important thing, all because of his ex-girlfriend—such a shameful thing.

Frustrated, he insisted on having drinks with Chen Xuan.

The result was that we drank alcohol at noon and sang karaoke in the afternoon.

The kind of private room without a bathroom.

I'll continue drinking tonight.

Even though Chen Xuan had a high alcohol tolerance, he still got drunk.

The other two were still lounging around in their dorm rooms, but Chen Xuan couldn't; he had important business to attend to today.

Fortunately, Cui Manzhou's favorability has already been maxed out, so drinking won't leave any negative impression.

Cui Manzhou shook her head speechlessly: "You have to take care of your health when you're young, otherwise..."

Before he could finish speaking, the conference room door was pushed open.

"You should be crazy when you're young. Don't listen to your teacher Cui, or you won't be able to be crazy when you get older."

A man who looked to be about 35 years old walked in. He was somewhat thin, very refined, and wore glasses.

"Let me introduce you, this is my husband, Lu Kai." Cui Manzhou then looked at Chen Xuan, "Chen Xuan is the student I have the highest hopes for at Lincheng University."

After the introductions, Cui Manzhou left.

The activity of visiting outstanding students' demonstrations lasted for three days, and today was only the second day. She still needed to meet with a few friends.

Chuangyou Technology is a well-known game outsourcing company in China, known for its high-quality products, but its fees are also quite high.

In fact, this meeting and discussion was just a formality.

Cui Manzhou has been captivated by the script for "To the Moon" and has decided to help. Now it's just a matter of how much of a discount they can negotiate.

"I heard from Manzhou that your script is very good." Lu Kai seemed very relaxed, as if he were chatting with a friend of the same age without any airs. "It's just a pity that she didn't see the ending and took her anger out on me when she got home."

"Uh, sorry, Mr. Lu." Chen Xuan casually handed over the art requirements form. "I haven't completely decided on the ending yet, so I haven't provided one."

"Hey, it's nothing. Couples always have their disagreements and make up quickly." Lu Kai looked down at the requirements list but kept talking. "Actually, your teacher Cui used to be very gentle, but I've gotten older after all... cough."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Xuan understood immediately.

Every man has his day when things are going smoothly but he still gets hurt.

The meeting room fell silent for a moment.

After reviewing the requirements list, Lu Kai got straight to the point, grabbed a calculator, and started typing as he did so.

"We don't usually take on projects from indie games or small studios, but you're an exception. 32x32 pixels, each character needs five basic actions including walking and standing, with two additional special actions for the main character. Three animation segments totaling two minutes, UI design, scene design, five key scene concept art pieces..."

After calculating, Lu Kai reported a figure, "5 yuan after the discount. You should know that's not much."

Chen Xuan shook his head and said, "President Lu, this is a bit insincere."

Is it expensive? Actually, it's not expensive.

Chen Xuan is somewhat of a perfectionist; if he wants to replicate a classic, he must also make up for some regrets.

This leads to increased costs.

But Chen Xuan still couldn't accept this price, for a simple reason: he was poor.

He had saved most of the profits from his two previous indie games and had hardly ever asked his family for living expenses during his university years.

The total amount is now only a little over 5 yuan.

How can we manage to use all our resources for art?

However, Lu Kai was very stubborn when it came to money, and he didn't budge an inch when Chen Xuan tried to lower the price.

They talked for a long time, but ultimately failed to reach an agreement.

"48,000, that's my bottom line," Lu Kai said firmly. "If you weren't a student of Manzhou, I wouldn't have taken this project under any circumstances."

It's always tough dealing with nobodys.

Chen Xuan sighed helplessly.

If the developer is well-known, the price is more negotiable.

Being able to participate in some high-quality, cross-platform game outsourcing projects is also a great advantage for them.

"I need to think about it." Chen Xuan had no choice but to stand up and prepare to leave.

Lu Kai nodded: "Of course, you're welcome anytime. But you'd better hurry, because our new project starts soon and we won't have time then."

"I understand, then I'll go first... Oh right." Chen Xuan seemed to remember something.

He reached into his pocket with his right hand and silently brought up the system panel.

Extract the Mighty Vajra Pill!

He took out two small blue pills and handed them over, smiling, "Mr. Lu, my friend works for a foreign pharmaceutical company. These are their new products, and they're still a long way from being launched on the market. They have no side effects... If you don't mind, you can take them and use them."

"Okay, thank you for your kindness." Lu Kai calmly put the medicine away.

Getting older is just that scary.

When you're young, you're afraid of someone questioning some aspect of you.

After reaching a certain age, they can sit together and discuss their conditions without any psychological burden.
