Twelve o'clock midnight!
The lights were dim in the one-bedroom rental house.
The girl had obviously just finished taking a shower.
At this moment, she was sitting in front of an old dressing table, looking at herself in the mirror.
Her jet-black hair was disheveled, with drops of water falling from the ends.
The half of her face that was vaguely revealed, although without any makeup on, was still very beautiful.
Coupled with the faint tears flashing in her big eyes, she looks even more pitiful.
At this moment, she was like a beautiful woman who had been abused and took baths again and again but still could not wash away the shame. Her eyes were dazed, dull and desperate.
Not someone else.
It was Shen Miaomiao.
She was indeed ruined, ruined by Gu Sheng.
To be more precise, she was severely ravaged and destroyed by Gu Sheng on a spiritual level.
since!
Since the announcement of the second part of Titanfall!
Shen Miaomiao has never had a good sleep!
This stuff is so hot!
In the past, Golden Wind was a small and silent gaming company, and a lot of information had to be actively searched for before it would appear in some obscure media reports.
Therefore, when "Phasmophobia" was released, they were particularly surprised that the "review" came to them.
But now!
Especially now!
In a one-on-three situation!
Golden Wind has obviously become a hot commodity in the hands of the media, and they always praise it!
In addition, various game media reviews are coming one after another!
There is no need for Yan Sheng to use his reputation to win over the media for special coverage!
The two levels are reversed!
Now, Golden Wind has become the favorite of all media outlets, and everyone wants to get a piece of the pie!
so!
For Shen Miaomiao, now that there are reports about the Golden Wind, they have changed from "active search" to "passive acceptance"!
In other words, since the first day the second half of Titanfall was announced!
She knew something was wrong!
After all, the second half of the game is only three hours long, so the news exploded that night!
In addition to various gaming media rushing to report on it like crazy!
The entry "Titanfall & Pacific Rim" once again topped the hot searches in the gaming and entertainment category!
Eighth last time!
This time it’s the fifth!
Shen Miaomiao's head was buzzing!
Originally, she was thinking about the second half of Titanfall, and she hoped that it could still maintain the level of the first half.
Yes, she didn't even dare to hope that the game in Gu Sheng's hands would start strong but end badly. She just hoped that there wouldn't be any amazing highlights. That would be enough for her.
result!
The most desperate situation still happened.
The hot mecha battles ignited the enthusiasm of the players, and the profound BOSS battles made the relationship between the players and BT reach its peak.
Finally, use the most tragic ending to bring this epic game to a close.
And that's not the end. Even at the very end of the game, when the subtitles were almost finished coming out, he still had a trick up his sleeve.
An electronic invitation card lays the foundation for derivative works.
That’s it!
Don’t say that Shen Miaomiao is unpredictable.
Even if you ask the battle-hardened and experienced chief of the three admirals of Xun Teng's escort to come over, he will still have to say "You are so sexy".
103% of platform games account for.
Even people who don't have a somatosensory cabin may have a copy of the game.
Under the overwhelming pressure of this result, Shen Miaomiao didn't dare to check the system for a week, and had nightmares almost every night -
Gu Sheng, Chu Qingzhou, Yiyou, and many other friendly merchants...
The gaming community bullies me for being old and powerless, and takes turns congratulating me on my success.
Shen Miaomiao was terrified!
Shen Miaomiao was worried!
Shen Miaomiao tossed and turned!
Shen Miaomiao couldn't sleep at night!
Shen Miaomiao knew that this time, she was likely to be in danger again.
It was precisely because of this that she had never dared to look at the system, like an ostrich, waiting for the judgment to come.
And today!
The last day for settlement of system documents!
Shen Miaomiao finally couldn't bear it anymore!
I opened the system carefully, wanting to see if I still had room for loss on this last day.
As a result, when I opened it, I saw the "estimated rebate amount" item was completely zero.
[Project: Titanfall]
[Project investment amount: 170 million yuan]
[ Project settlement time: 14 days (+1 day)]
[Project rebate rate: 10 times (+1 times)]
[Current revenue: 170 million and 28 million yuan (858,586 units)]
[Estimated rebate amount: 0 yuan]
[Remaining settlement time: 23 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds...]
good.
It was because of her small attempt at the beginning that she extended the settlement date by one day with a lucky mentality.
The Titanfall project was successful and profitable.
but!
What does it matter?
Even if she doesn't pull this one day longer!
Even if Titanfall is settled one second earlier, one less copy will be sold!
198 minus 28 yuan, net loss is 170 yuan, rebate is 11 times, totaling 1870 yuan.
What can I do?
It’s not even enough to pay my own rent.
Shen Miaomiao was silent for a full half minute!
He opened his mouth and scratched his head.
I want to laugh but can’t, I want to cry but can’t.
At this moment, Shen Miaomiao didn't even know what expression to put on when facing the fact that Titanfall had only paid back its investment in half a month.
She grabbed her hair randomly and walked back and forth in the small bedroom five times!
I just can’t figure it out and can’t understand it!
As if lamenting the injustice of fate, or accusing fate of playing tricks on her, Shen Miaomiao raised her hands with a look of confusion, reluctance and incomprehension written all over her face.
Ask the quilt, ask the curtains, ask the air conditioner that is blowing cold air!
She staggered, like a zombie whose soul had been taken away, and stumbled to the dressing mirror.
“Hey—hey—!”
She asked the heavens, the earth, or herself:
“This industry!”
“Who is losing money?”
“This game development industry!”
“…Who can lose money?”
"ah?"
"No matter how lucky I am... I can't... I can't make money all the way from PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds to Titanfall, right?"
"I'm so lucky!"
“…It’s impossible to sell 170 million in 15 days, right? Huh?”
“So…so this industry…”
“This gaming industry…”
“Who is losing money? Huh???”
…
"It's us! It's us! It's us! It's fucking us!!!"
Bang!
at the same time!
Xun Teng is in video conference!
Chen Guangde, who was sitting in front of the computer in his study, slammed the table!
Just now!
The second week sales report of the somatosensory cabin war is out!
Data shows that after two weeks of sales, the total sales of the Polar Bear III at home and abroad totaled 500,103 units.
Compared with the total sales of 830,000 units of Yiyoux2, it is more than 300,000 units less, which is one third less!
"We are the ones who suffered a setback in the sales of the sensor cabin!"
"We are the ones who have a bad reputation for the game!"
“We are the ones who are left far behind in terms of overall revenue!”
"If this trend continues, we will be the ones who suffer a crushing loss!"
During the video conference, Chen Guangde angrily slammed the table and scolded his former three generals - the game directors of three domestic first-line FPS developers, expressing his deep sorrow and indignation!
"Could it be that I am Xun Teng Games! The top-tier gaming complex in the country!"
"Without these shady and risky moves, will it be difficult to move forward?!"
As soon as these words came out!
There was dead silence in the video conference!
Even Chen Guangde himself opened his mouth, not knowing how to continue.
Chen Guangde feels so miserable!
Indeed!
The eldest daughter of the Shen family’s previous rage and overwhelming anger proved that she was not a mascot in business.
but!
That warning only warned Xun Teng not to cheat, but he did not bite back at them, nor did he retaliate against them in more underhanded ways!
All she did was to confiscate their cheating tools and bring the starting lines of both parties to the same position!
That is to say!
He, Chen Guangde, has been in the gaming industry for many years, experienced many ups and downs, and is an experienced top practitioner!
He actually lost to Shen Miaomiao, a rookie who had just made her mark in the gaming circle, in a fair competition!
and!
Still, they managed to break through under his three-sided encirclement attack!
What else can Chen Guangde say?
Is it really because our side is too weak?
Of course not.
This time, they have the first-generation FPS works that are the foundation of their careers, the trendy second-generation FPS works, and the carefully crafted story-based masterpieces.
If there is no golden wind!
Relying solely on Nuyan and Kol's Yiyou, they will completely lose the FPS category market of the new generation of somatosensory cabins, allowing them to take the absolute initiative!
Even more, the tactics of combining forces and focusing on breakthroughs will to a certain extent affect the racing and sports sections that Yiyou originally planned!
But I never expected this!
Golden Wind.
This small game company, whose total volume is less than 500 million, was able to turn the tide and challenge the three generals with a work with only 170 million investment!
This is really not their fault.
But it’s because Gu Sheng, this talented designer, is too awesome.
He was like a person who didn't belong to this world.
He brought with him all kinds of exciting and imaginative gaming works from his original world and came to this world to wreak havoc on everyone.
That ability, which can be called a dimensionality reduction attack, is terrifying.
Especially after the release of Titanfall, Chen Guangde even felt that his fear was about to turn into a Stockholm-style admiration for the strong!
He has been in the gaming industry for so many years, but has never encountered a company like this!
This company is outrageous!
Gu Sheng is outrageous, his brain is simply not that of a normal person, he can play all kinds of games with ease, defeating the strong with the weak is as easy as eating and drinking!
Shen Miaomiao is even more outrageous. She clearly knows that her company is not big enough to compete with those mature big companies in the game market, but she still asks Gu Sheng to send troops to battle again and again. She always has the mentality of "I must not lose this time", and she doesn't worry about losing all her money. Relying on her almost blind trust in Gu Sheng, she frequently fights with powerful enemies!
Each of them is crazier and wilder than the other!
Gu Sheng is high, deep, and hard, and the golden wind is high and hard!
Thinking of this, Chen Guangde couldn't help but sigh.
These two people are like two jagged pieces.
It would be awkward to put it together with anyone.
But they found each other who fit them perfectly, pieced them together to form a complete pattern, and dominated the gaming circle.
This extremely small probability made Chen Guangde feel terrified.
Especially when he looked at the problem from Shen Miaomiao's perspective, the bone-chilling chill almost made him shiver.
Because for Shen Miaomiao, there is only one correct answer, and that is Gu Sheng.
Besides, if anyone else, no matter if it was a rookie or a seasoned veteran, followed her life-threatening style of play, they would lose everything.
Not to mention the Three Heroes vs. Lu Bu, I'm afraid Golden Wind would have died before it could get out of the Yiyou Mini-Game Festival that year!
Think of this!
Chen Guangde couldn't help but let out a long sigh!
It’s the time and the fate!
Some are happy, some are sad!
Maybe right now, Shen Miaomiao is working on a reward plan for Gu Sheng overnight, in order to further secure this pillar of merit...
…
"Take my punch, you bastard! Hey!"
Bang!
Shen Miaomiao did hold Gu Sheng firmly.
Physically.
At this moment, she was holding on to a large pillow that was shaped like a husky, with the dog's head replaced with Gu Sheng's photo and kicking and punching it.
The sound of ping-pong continued to ring out in the cabin.
Poor 'Gu Sheng' was hit so hard that his head was shaking and twisted.
Finally, the breathless Shen Miaomiao raised her little foot and kicked!
Bang!
The Husky version of 'Gu Sheng' turned three times in the air and fell to the ground with a thud.
“Hoo…Hoo…Hoo…”
A meal to vent!
Finally, Shen Miaomiao was exhausted and lay on the bed in a spread-eagle position, gasping for breath.
The 1 billion dropped to 700 million, the 700 million dropped to 300 million, and finally even the 300 million disappeared into thin air.
Originally, she was thinking of using this wave of money to make back her investment and return to her peak status as a wealthy woman.
result!
Gu Sheng showed off his unique skills one after another and made a huge profit from this meal!
A game ruined her dream of becoming a rich woman.
It seems that she needs to stay in this cramped little rental house for a while.
well……
Shen Miaomiao looked at the yellow roof and sighed.
But come to think of it, I was too blindly optimistic about the market situation at the time.
At the beginning, no one, from the media to Yiyou, and even to Xunteng, was optimistic about this low-cost escort work, and no one thought it could stand out among a group of strong and powerful competitors.
Everyone treated it as a free gift, a low-quality horse, which led to their own misjudgment, and they completely ignored Gu Sheng's plan, which was as thick as a book, and let him play freely.
So…
Thinking of this, Shen Miaomiao's brows darkened.
I will still have to personally direct this next work.
Indeed!
I used to be like a genius in game design, and I would easily hit the players' preferences.
But as the saying goes, 30 years in the east, 30 years in the west!
I have grown up now!
I am no longer the newbie who knows nothing about the gaming world and gives random instructions when my head gets hot!
After more than a year of experience, I have more or less seen a lot of gaming profits and losses!
and!
Even from a metaphysical point of view, my novice protection period when I first entered the gaming industry should be over!
So, this time, I'm going to fight again!
Remove the essence, take the dregs, regroup, and show your power again!
Think of this!
Shen Miaomiao took a deep breath and regained her confidence!
She didn’t know if it was because she had suffered so many setbacks, but she felt that her mental toughness had improved significantly, and she was recovering faster and faster.
"system,"
With a thought, Shen Miaomiao summoned the system in her mind:
"Let's settle the Titanfall order. The road ahead is long and arduous. We should focus on the future."
Settle profit notes in advance.
This is a small function added after the system was upgraded to the official version - when a document is profitable and has exceeded the basic settlement time and is within the additional settlement time, the host can settle the document in advance.
Now, the Titanfall project is within the additional one-day settlement time, so Shen Miaomiao can settle it in advance.
There's nothing to settle anyway, and there's no point in keeping it. It will only make things worse for me.
However, just when Shen Miaomiao was about to settle the receipt!
【bite!】
Suddenly, the system made a crisp sound in my mind!
[Project profit detected! ]
[Investment Rebate System v1.0 Official Version - New Mechanism ④ Activated! ]
[“Additional derivative investment for the project” has been enabled! ]
hiss--!!!
Hearing this, Shen Miaomiao was startled and jumped up from the bed!
That’s right!
When the system was upgraded to the official version v1.0, there was a new function that was hidden and said it would be "unlocked after the project is settled"!
If the system hadn’t prompted me, I would have almost forgotten about it!
And with the unlocking of the last new function, the complete version of the investment rebate system v1.0 has been completed!
Shen Miaomiao was so excited that she read the function description carefully!
