"I'm about to earn millions a month, why do I still have to do military training?!"

Si Hua vented her frustration in the group chat.

Chen Yu calmly retorted, "Go tell that to your teacher or your instructor. What's the point of yelling about it in the group chat?"

"You brat, you're just a bunch of useless ragers," Zhou Zhe added, firing another shot.

"Do you think I didn't want to talk to the teacher?! I did go! But I got rejected!" Si Hua said aggrievedly.

I don't know if it's because I inexplicably made the news again, or some other unknown factor.

In short, before Si Hua went to military training, a lot of trouble suddenly came up that needed to be dealt with.

For a moment, I was like a headless fly, frantically trying to do something.

First, regarding the guests at the National Day Comic Con, the Shencaiyi Comic Con, upon learning that Si Hua's management team was Lin Lin's, boldly suggested that they could directly invite both of them as guests.

A small comic convention actually has the money to hire female celebrities. Is this the kind of arrogance and fearlessness that comes with being co-opted?

This is completely different from what I remember.

However, considering the difference between comic conventions and other offline events, it is a public place with a flow of tens of thousands of people.

For security reasons, the convention organizers will only promote the mystery guest and will not announce the participation of any celebrities.

The official announcement of the artist's event will only be released online on the day of the comic convention when Lin Lin makes her official appearance.

The event announcement was released halfway through the event, which is probably what people love to see most – a truly unexpected event.

The main focus is on betraying a die-hard fan of the real world, and only giving out rewards to those who are also fans of anime and manga and happen to have attended the anime convention.

My favorite celebrity and my favorite subculture—two happy things combined... Okay, okay, that's enough.

In addition, the simultaneous popularity of "The Edge Walker" both domestically and internationally led Qiu Yin to call Si Hua more than once to urge him to personally handle Steam backend affairs.

Fortunately, it was all about recommending works and sales finances. Qiu Yin had already taken the time to deal with the few bug reports, otherwise Si Hua would have been really at a loss.

At the same time, this also forced Si Hua to take this already influential casual game more seriously.

In the initial conception, this game was not only intended to fulfill Si Hua's own sudden whims, but also to be a personal experimental work. As long as it received good reviews, it didn't really matter whether it could make money.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have set such an outrageous price.

All that's left is the impression that "this person can not only make animation and music, but also make games."

This will make it easier for me to commit crimes across borders with a large group of people in the future, so that it won't seem so abrupt.

Therefore, regarding whether "The Edge Walker" has the ability to make money... we can only say that it's about right.

Looking at the results now, wow, after five days online, domestic sales reached 13 and overseas sales reached 16. After deducting the platform's share, the publisher's share, the estimated 10% refund rate, and the 6% VAT.

Net income was 105 million yuan.

Holy crap, what's the difference between this and picking up money?

From now on, anyone who tries to stop me from making games will be my enemy, the Great Emperor Si Hua!

"Si Hua! Still saying you're not the chosen one? I saw you picking up money the moment I walked in!"

At this point, Si Hua had started talking nonsense with excitement.

According to Chen Yan's team's prediction, The Edge Walker may eventually sell over a million copies on Steam alone.

In an era where indie games can only sell a few thousand copies a month, this has shown all indie game developers the greater potential of the Steam platform.

"We have already had our partner publisher send a letter of commercial permission to Valve. This phenomenal game, which can greatly promote the development of the Steam ecosystem, must receive most-favored treatment."

This is a message that Pan Lei relayed to Si Hua.

In other words, there's still money to be made!

A cell phone rang.

Si Hua, who was counting her meager earnings, suddenly received a call from Chen Yan.

A man's intuition tells him that this is a good thing.

"Apple China contacted us directly, asking about the possibility of porting 'The Edge Walker' to the iOS platform."

"Huh? Transplant?"

It was another path I had never imagined.

"Because the English version of the theme song sold like hotcakes on iTunes, many users in the comments, after learning that it was the theme song of a game, were asking why they couldn't find the game on the App Store."

"Are there still pure music fans listening to this song?"

"What else? If a song could break into the iTunes Top 15 in five days, even if it's a huge pile, wouldn't you want to at least try it out?"

Upon hearing this strange description, Si Hua's expression became somewhat subtle: "Although what you said is disgusting, it does make sense."

"Moreover, the melody and English lyrics of this song are quite beautiful. In a sea of ​​black music that starts with F, transitions with Jesus Poop, and ends with Sons of the Beach, it's hard not to love it among those highly educated elite Apple fans."

"Wow, that's a classic line, I'm going to copy it down."

This summary of Black music is spot on.

"But then again, I don't have the skills to do the transplant... Professor Qiu has started school and has no time to help me with the technical stuff."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan also pressed his temples; he really had a headache.

He initially thought the game might just be a buzzword, so he didn't urge Si Hua to set up a personal studio.

Moreover, from their perspective as a global company, Si Hua Studio should be a group—no, a team—that focuses purely on audiovisual content. How did this kid manage to lead them astray again?

Animation, music, music videos, stage design, and so on are the main businesses, which also makes it easier for Universal to exchange resources for other resources and make investments.

Interactive entertainment is something we only consider after we've built up a large and strong business.

But why does every project become uncontrollable when it gets to Si Hua?

Every time, plans fall short of reality.

Toxic, right?

"I also mentioned this to Apple China, and they said they could help us contact a game outsourcing company to handle the porting and after-sales service."

"Just contact them? Aren't they going to give us some gold coins to support us?" Si Hua was not happy when he heard that. Did he have to pay out of his own pocket?

Chen Yan rolled her eyes through the phone: "They're a big company, a platform, what makes you think they can open their hearts to you?"

Hearing this, Si Hua fell silent. Chen Yan was a good person in every way, except that he liked to speak the truth.

Hmph, apple, very good, don't underestimate a young man's potential.

How much will the transplant cost?

"Tsk, what a character."

-----------------

"That's the situation. In short, it's extremely urgent."

Si Hua rushed to Zheng Yansheng's office and dumped all her recent troubles on him.

Old Zheng was also extremely troubled. Why did this brat cause so much trouble?

"Alright, you prepare the studio plan first, and I'll contact some senior students for you later. As for people from other majors, I suggest you talk to Wu Min."

"Mr. Wu? Isn't he the director of the admissions office?"

"That's the director of the admissions and employment office. Why did you omit the second half? They also handle employment for recent graduates."

"Oh, it's the Admissions and Employment Office... Admissions Office, isn't that a good name?" Si Hua scratched his head, trying to sound cute and youthful.

"Teacher, can I participate in military training...?"

"No way." Zheng Yansheng refused outright. "If a freshman representative skips military training, no matter how legitimate the reason, rumors will spread like wildfire. You may not care about your reputation, but I do!"

"Please make an exception, teacher!"

"At most, you'll be allowed to use your phone to handle business at night."

"Is it just using a mobile phone?"

"How about I confiscate your phone too?"

"No, no, no, mobile phones are great too. I'm really good at remote work."

Well, I can't escape military training after all.
