Chapter 245: Lose a lot! Thousand times the profit!
"Just apply it along the way, idiot. If you rub it back and forth like that, it will all end up on the outside..."
After dinner I took a rest.
Seeing that it was still early, Shen Miaomiao set an alarm and then took out the pink and gold nail polish she had bought today.
She stretched out her feet and insisted that Gu Sheng help her paint her nails.
"It's not summer now," Gu Sheng thought this was outrageous. "It's the end of autumn and almost winter, and you're not wearing sandals. Who are you applying this to?"
"Let me see it for myself," Shen Miaomiao answered as if it was a matter of course, and then she shook her feet again: "And I'll show it to you by the way."
good!
Paint!
It would be disrespectful to refuse!
If you say so, it would be impolite for me to refuse again!
Gu Sheng had absolutely no reason to refuse.
But his hands were indeed a little clumsy.
The key is that I have never done such delicate work.
"Hey, I'll teach you!"
Seeing that Gu Sheng was not able to learn on his own, Shen Miaomiao simply sat up and took Gu Sheng's hand.
I dipped a small brush into the blingbling nail polish and started brushing it on his little fingernails.
"Isn't it...appropriate?"
Gu Sheng looked at his nails which became more and more gay, and was very upset.
"What's inappropriate about that..."
As she spoke, Shen Miaomiao put away the small brush and looked at her masterpiece with satisfaction:
"Look! How beautiful!"
"Emmmm..."
Gu Sheng looked at the effeminate little fingers, without commenting, and lowered his head to pull Shen Miaomiao's white and tender little feet:
"It still suits you better."
The warm light is dim.
The humidifier emits gentle mist, which dances gracefully in the warm and sweet air as Debussy's "Moonlight" quietly flows out of the Harman Kardon.
Shen Miaomiao leaned back and relaxed on the soft velvet cushion, feeling the warmth of Gu Sheng's palm between her toes.
His serious eyes seemed to be carving and painting a work of art, focused and profound.
Rustle——
Shen Miaomiao leaned her head against the back of the sofa, gently biting her rosy lips, a gentle smile appearing at the corners of her mouth.
I picked up the Polaroid camera from the art cabinet next to the sofa.
With a click.
A warm moment captured.
Gu Sheng also raised his head and looked at Shen Miaomiao with a smile: "Taking photos of me again?"
"Because you were so handsome just now."
Shen Miaomiao stuck out her tongue and said playfully.
For a moment, Gu Sheng's eyes became dazed.
Under the soft light, the perfect curves of the girl's delicate face are outlined vividly, like a delicate rose blooming in midsummer, or like a fragrant sunflower quietly blooming under the moonlight, exuding a sweet fragrance.
The blush on the little face is the finishing touch of her beauty.
In an instant!
With a coquettish tone, it came through the air like a sharp arrow, piercing through his chest and coming out behind him, bringing out a string of pink bubbles like a dream.
"Then why are you looking at me?"
Seeing that Gu Sheng’s eyes were a little dull, he didn’t know what to think.
Shen Miaomiao's face turned even redder and she lifted her feet.
The instep, which is already as white as jade, looks even more delicate and tender against the pink nail polish, as if it could be blown away, like morning dew on delicate flowers, or like a thin mist moistening a jade stamen.
Her feet gently tapped on Gu Sheng's jaw, closing his mouth. Shen Miaomiao tilted her head coquettishly, her big eyes sparkling and lively as if containing countless stars.
"Look at you... you're beautiful."
Gu Sheng calmed down slightly and answered in the same tone as Shen Miaomiao just now.
After saying that, he lifted up Shen Miaomiao's feet, blew on them twice, and then looked at them carefully as if he was appreciating a work of art created by his own hands.
Shen Miaomiao admired it with him and laughed: "It looks good."
"That's right," Gu Sheng nodded in agreement, "Don't you even look at who painted it?"
"Climb along the pole..."
Shen Miaomiao kicked Gu Sheng lightly and said with a smile.
Just saying!
Buzz——
Buzz——
The timer alarm also rang.
Shen Miaomiao took a deep breath!
Collect the money on time!
“Hurry up, Huayu Electric, Huayu Electric!”
Shen Miaomiao urged Gu Sheng to adjust the projection screen:
"It's time! It's time for you to fall from the altar!"
Gu Sheng nearly fell down.
God damn, I'm going to fall from grace.
"Can't you hope for me to be better?"
Gu Sheng rolled his eyes, took the remote control to lower the projector, and then started connecting to the display.
"I can't hope for anything!"
Shen Miaomiao sat on the sofa with her hands on her hips, pretending to be serious, and joked:
"I just like to see the downfall of genius!"
"Then you are really quite shady..." Gu Sheng grinned speechlessly.
Shen Miaomiao bowed: "Thank you for the compliment!"
She is really getting poorer and poorer!
Gu Sheng rolled his eyes to the sky.
Adjust the screen to the data background, there is one minute left.
Taking advantage of the gap, Gu Sheng couldn't help but ask Shen Miaomiao:
"By the way, I've always wanted to ask you, why do you care so much about this sales milestone?"
Gu Sheng still remembers that was two years ago.
One day, when I was about to go home after get off work, I happened to run into little Nezha who was performing a ritual in the conference room.
If I remember correctly, it was the "Left 4 Dead" project.
And now, they have produced more than a dozen games of various sizes.
Little Nezha still enjoyed it, which really puzzled him.
"Well……"
As soon as these words came out!
Shen Miaomiao couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat!
My mind is racing!
What to do? What to do? What to do?
How should I say it?
You must know!
If I don't come up with a complete answer at this time, with Lao Gu's brain, he might guess that there is something fishy going on.
If that happens, your system will be in danger!
after all.
Her system is fearless except for the person in charge who might guess the existence of the system.
If it is really seen through, the system will self-destruct on the spot!
At that time, the sword was only 0.01 cm away from my throat.
I decided to tell a lie.
Tell what I think is the most perfect lie.
"Because I want to be the first to share your joy of success and your sorrow when you fail."
Shen Miaomiao's smiling face calmed down, her eyes were firm and bright, and she said to Gu Sheng seriously:
"Honestly, you are the best gamer I have ever met, you were born to be in this industry,"
"We have fought side by side along the way. I like to see you win, and I hope you will always win. I hope to see your success as soon as possible , share your joy of success, and listen to you talk about how great this game is."
"But at the same time, I am always worried about you, worried about the occasional setbacks you encounter when you are in such a favorable situation. I hope you can be strong but I am also afraid that you are not strong enough, although I cannot truly empathize with you."
"But I am willing to bear it with you."
silence.
There was a long silence.
After saying this, Shen Miaomiao looked at Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng's eyes also changed from surprise at first, to being touched, and then to being as gentle and peaceful as moonlight.
The next moment.
Then Shen Miaomiao called out softly: "Hey?"
Then, she was embraced by Gu Sheng.
A big hand with distinct joints smoothed her smooth and fragrant hair.
Gu Sheng's voice rang softly beside my ears:
"Thank you. I will strive to never fail. From now on, we will just share the joy..."
Shen Miaomiao: ...
Is it too late for me to take back what I just said?
"Well... you don't have to be so absolute... haha... it's okay to fail occasionally..."
Shen Miaomiao patted Gu Sheng on the back, wanting to say that she had just said that casually and he didn't need to take it seriously.
But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back, feeling that this seemed too cruel for Lao Gu.
If the roles were reversed, and I were a talented designer like Lao Gu, I would surely hope that every one of my games would be a best-seller, right?
After a moment, Gu Sheng was the first to loosen his arm and smiled at little Nezha.
Shen Miaomiao also raised the corners of her mouth and pinched her red earlobe shyly.
Fortunately, at this time.
The webpage was refreshed at the hour.
With a click.
Brand new sales data popped up and they both turned their heads to look at it.
According to Shen Miaomiao's idea, as long as the total sales of "Garden Warfare" does not exceed 731,000 copies, she can successfully obtain the rebate!
And in fact!
This time, she was not disappointed after all!
"Garden Warfare" total sales in 7 days - 718,900 copies.
A moment!
Shen Miaomiao's little brain started to work rapidly.
718,900 units, multiplied by the unit price of 65 yuan per unit, the total sales amount is 46.7285 million yuan.
Based on a 20 % commission rate, the amount of funds they received was... 37.3828 million yuan.
The total cost is 38 million.
Minus 37,382,800.
Net loss was 617,200 yuan.
Multiply the rebate by 15 times and you get…
In my mind, the documents are settled——
[Sub-project: Plants vs. Zombies - Garden Warfare]
[Project investment amount: 38 million yuan]
[Project settlement time: 7 days (+0 days)]
[Project rebate rate: 15 times (+0 times)]
[Current revenue: 37.3828 million yuan]
[Estimated rebate amount: 9.258 million yuan]
[Remaining settlement time: 0 days 0 hours 0 minutes 0 seconds]
Following right on!
Ding Dong!
Shen Miaomiao saw her cell phone light up!
[Your debit card account 1118 received 9,258,000 yuan deposited via mobile banking transfer, and the balance is 11,793,211.68 yuan...]
Nine hundred...two hundred and fifty thousand...eight thousand yuan...
More than nine million.
Shen Miaomiao swallowed her saliva.
Oh my god…oh my god!!!
More than nine million!
It has been a long time since I saw such a huge sum of money!
I still remember the last time my personal piggy bank exceeded eight figures, which was when I played “Left 4 Dead” and got rebates two years ago!
And this time, she is back to the top again!
No!
You can't say that!
This is just another new beginning.
This is not my peak yet.
This is not the peak of the rebate system!
good!
Just thinking about this!
Shen Miaomiao heard another crisp sound in her mind——
[Ding Dong! It is detected that the host has accumulated losses for 5 times, and the achievement is achieved - "The situation is reversed here"]
[Achievement Reward: Loss-Making Project Multiplier Purchase Coupon x1]
[Rewards have been issued, the host can use them at any time]
The project lost money but I made money, and there was even an achievement and a lottery ticket?!
Shen Miaomiao was shocked.
Today...is indeed a good day!
He stretched out his hand towards Gu Sheng and squeezed it hard.
"Oh my god !"
Gu Sheng screamed, covered his thigh, and looked at Shen Miaomiao in shock and anger:
"What are you doing?"
"This... can actually sell more than 700,000 sets..."
Shen Miaomiao quickly lied:
"Let me see if I'm dreaming."
"Are you dreaming? Why are you pinching my thigh?!"
Gu Sheng was numb:
"You pinch yourself?"
"Pinching yourself hurts so much, are you stupid--"
Shen Miaomiao rolled her eyes, then excitedly rolled off the sofa, put on her slippers and ran to the bathroom:
"I'm going to the bathroom."
After saying that.
He didn't care about Gu Sheng who was sitting on the sofa with a frown on his face. He rushed into the bathroom and opened the system interface in his mind!
She needed to see what this "loss-making project multiplier purchase voucher" was.
This is an achievement reward!
You know, all the achievement rewards she received before were good things.
Such as shortening the settlement time and increasing the settlement ratio.
This time, the achievement is unlocked again, and the name of this reward sounds impressive.
So, Shen Miaomiao concentrated and calmed down, retrieved the purchase voucher, and checked the detailed description——
【Loss-making project multiplier purchase coupon】
【illustrate:】
A coupon that can be used to purchase any document multiplier can only be used for settled loss-making project documents.
After launching a derivative project of a loss-making project, the host can not only enjoy the effect of time adjustment on the rebate multiplier, but also increase the document multiplier through purchase.
By spending the money earned from rebates, the rebate multiplier of the document will be increased by 1 times for every 10,000 yuan.
【Note 1: This derivative project ignores the nature of loss-making project】
[Note 2: There is no upper limit on the rebate rate of this derivative project, but please be sure to confirm the purchase rate. Once confirmed, it cannot be increased or reduced.]
"oh--!!!"
After finishing reading, Shen Miaomiao couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise!
This lottery ticket is too cruel!
She understood the rules for using the lottery ticket.
According to the systematic summary, up to now, she has completed five loss-making projects:
Vampire Survivor, Left 4 Dead, APEX, To the Moon, and Garden Warfare
There are main projects and sub-projects here.
But it doesn't matter.
Now, she can once again choose one of the five projects to start developing a spin-off of the game.
at the same time!
You can use the small amount of money you get from rebates to purchase rebate multipliers.
So how much rebate bonus does she have so far?
"Vampire Survivor" 50 yuan.
"Left 4 Dead" 10 million.
"APEX" 528,000.
"To the Moon" 250,000.
"Garden Warfare" 9.258 million.
Among them, number 50 must not be moved, as it is Shen Miaomiao’s treasure and her mascot, and she has developed feelings for it over such a long time.
The 10 million yuan for Left 4 Dead was considered a free investment. It was used to make huge profits from PUBG and is now gone.
Finally, there are only 52.8+25+925.8 left, a total of 10.036 million!
According to the rules for using lottery tickets.
No matter which loss-making project she chooses to develop derivative works for.
As long as you use the coupons, you can adjust the rebate multiplier of the receipt to 1003 times without any side effects!
Plus their original multiplier inheritance.
For example, the Garden Warfare receipt comes with 15 times the amount.
The rebate rate will reach an astonishing 1018 times!!!
What a concept!
Lose 1 yuan and get a rebate of 1018 yuan!
if!
This derivative document, just like today, suffered a small loss of 600,000 within the specified time based on the total investment of 38 million.
Then, she, Shen Miaomiao, will obtain——
610.8 million!
Any loss would amount to hundreds of millions!
Even if the loss is only 100,000 yuan!
The rebate received is as much as 100 million!
And one hundred thousand dollars is just a drop in the bucket for a game.
Let’s not talk about the blockbusters, just talk about "Garden Warfare". With a price of 68 yuan per copy, 100,000 yuan is just to sell 1,400 fewer copies of the game.
That is to say.
For the next game, she doesn’t need to make a huge loss. She only needs to make a small loss. If she sells a thousand or so fewer copies within the specified time, she can get a nine-digit rebate!
This... I have to think carefully about it!
Thinking of this, Shen Miaomiao nodded deeply.
after all.
This was the first time in her history that—
Thousand times rebate!!
