Chapter 1 I'm going to lose money
Year 2309, nine o'clock in the morning.
Yangcheng, an ordinary apartment.
Lin Le sat in front of the computer, looking at various news and information with a confused expression.
"The Flying Shooter Game Design Competition, with a prize fund of 50,000 yuan, is being held on the official game platform, and all game designers are welcome to participate."
"Antarctic Games, A-level designer Tang Qi said that he is about to show his strength in the field of mobile games, so please look forward to it...."
"The "Hailing Baby" launched by Tianxuan Animation Studio has hundreds of millions of subscriptions."
“.....”
Like many stories, Lin Le is a real value traveler.
He traveled to himself in a parallel world, just three hours later, and was hit by the system.
During this period, by checking the news and the extra memories in his mind, Lin Le found that the world he traveled through was eighty percent similar to the earth.
However, the Celestial Empire is known here as the Yanhua Kingdom, and its national power is extremely strong, its territory spans the whole of Asia, and its technology is also somewhat advanced.
As for the original owner, Lin Le, 23 years old this year, is a rookie game designer.
After graduating from university and working for a year, he chose to quit his job and start his own business.
enthusiastically devoted himself to the game industry, and borrowed 40,000 capital from his parents, but the game hit the street and lost nothing, it seems that he can't think of it, and the original owner died so suddenly.
Lin Le also crossed over because of this.
Fortunately, my parents are fine, and my other friends are there.
For not joining the Traveler Orphanage, Lin Le thinks it is worth celebrating.
"Maybe, I'm going back in time, anyway, I have to grasp it if I can live my life again." "So, let's take a look at the gold finger on my body first."
Taking a deep breath, after Lin Le calmed down, he looked at the system in his mind.
[Name: Super Money Losing System].
[Function 1: Every once in a while, the system will invest a certain amount of wealth in the host.
According to the detection of interest in the host, at this stage this money can only be used for commercial activities in the field of games and ACG. 】
[Function 2: In the profit and loss settlement, every penny lost by the host in the business activities within the rules will be used as the host's reward at a ratio of 1:1, and every penny earned will be converted into the host's reward at a ratio of 100 to 1. 】
[Business funds: 100,000 yuan. 】
[Personal funds: 1000 yuan]
[Beginner Mission: Invite the host to participate in the Flying Shooter Contest being held on the official game platform.]
The profit and loss settlement will take place in two weeks. 】
[System rules: 1. Do not cause anyone to doubt the existence of the system and settle the task.
Second, it is not allowed to slack off work and exploit loopholes at a loss-making point, such as hiring employees at ultra-high prices and buying game resources.
Third, all the right of interpretation belongs to the system, and any violation will be issued. 】
As a person who often reads online novels, Lin Le understood the gameplay of this system after a little pondering.
Business money is equivalent to the money invested to him by the system, and once he uses it within the rules, it causes a loss.
How much you lose, the system will reward yourself.
For example, now that there are 100,000 commercial funds, as long as Lin Le makes a game, and after it is successfully put on the shelves, the final sales volume is only 10,000, then the loss of 90,000 will be used as a reward and converted into personal funds that he can use freely.
However, when it comes to making a profit, the conversion ratio is a bit low.
Lin Le thought about it for a while and felt that this didn't seem to be a problem. After all, business development fails, and there are not too many people who lose money.
And making money is even harder.
In other words, it is a hell of a hell for others to carry out business development, and for Lin Le to have this system, losing money is equivalent to making money, and there is no difficulty at all.
"Set a small goal first, and lose it 100 million." Lin Le inexplicably thought of a famous saying, felt comfortable for a while, and silently praised his golden thighs.
Funds are settled two weeks later, according to the mission requirements are to participate in the flight shooting game competition on the official gaming platform.
In this case, it is clear what I need to do now.
The first step is to make a game that meets the system requirements and then enter the competition!
In the second step, 100,000 commercial funds must be spent, but the game must be garbage enough, so that it will hit the street at the speed of light after it is put on the shelves.
The third step is to wait until the funds are settled two weeks later, and all the business funds that you have lost will be converted into your own personal funds, and you will have 100,000 yuan in hand, and you can spend it hard.
Thinking of a better life in the future, Lin Le felt happy in his heart.
"Okay, I'll take a look at the game environment of this world first."
After sorting out his emotions, Lin Le searched for it on the computer.
Soon, he learned that in this world, Yanhua attaches great importance to technology and the entertainment game industry.
So now he is more concerned about the game field, not only the official game platform, but also the game editor [Genesis] specially developed for game designers.
This is a game design software that is universal in this world, powerful and extremely efficient.
If a game designer wants to make a game, then as long as the program templates, art resources, etc., are arranged and set up according to certain rules, they can successfully make the game they want.
Flying shooters, on the other hand, are an extremely unpopular genre with a small player base and not many new games.
"The fewer players there are, the fewer people who buy the game, and the smoother it will be for me to lose money."
"Although I want to make a garbage game, the system says that you can't be passive and slack off, that is, you have to make the game seriously, and then lose money logically."
Lin Le held his chin and thought about it.
Ten minutes later, Lin Le's eyes lit up, and he was inspired.
At that moment, Lin Le opened the genesis editor and wrote down the game design concept draft in the design document.
[Game Name: "Oriental Red Devil Township"]
[Game Plot: In the far east, there is a paradise called Gensokyo, where many monsters and non-humans live.
On this day of summer, a large red demonic fog covered the entire Gensokyo without warning, blocking out the sun, making Gensokyo cold and dark.
So, in order to find out the reason for Gensokyo's mutation, the Witch set off as usual....]
[Core gameplay: Flying barrage shooter, players need to control the character, while dodging the light bullets fired by the enemy, while relying on their own attacks to defeat the enemy....]
[Main characters: Reimu Hakurei, Marisa Kiriyu, Remilia....]
Thinking back to the memory of his "previous life", Lin Le wrote very smoothly.
This is the bullet hell shooter of the famous Touhou series, which can be regarded as a branch of flying shooters.
The game is not complicated, it is the traditional mode of breaking through the level.
However, the enemies that players will face in the levels are extremely powerful, and they will shoot a dazzling array of light bullets that cover the entire screen.
The player can only dodge counterattacks in small gaps.
This requires not only extreme skill, but also patience and perseverance.
The best trick for handicapped players to play an Oriental barrage game is to take their hands off the keyboard.
Of course, if it is the original game of the previous life, the hand handicap can also be cleared.
Because in order to take care of the players, the designer god has set four difficulty and EX levels for the game, so that any player can easily experience the fun of the game.
This kind of design that takes care of the player's experience shows the power of the god. For the great god, Lin Le sincerely expressed his admiration.
But if you want to lose money, you can only change it.
"Hmph, if you want to buy my game and send me money, there is no door, so you can accept the baptism of barrage hell." The corners of Lin Le's mouth hooked up a demonic smile, and he wrote in the design draft that the game difficulty was fixed at the Extra level.
At this difficulty, even the simplest of miscellaneous soldiers can emit an overwhelming array of high-speed light bullets, which are guaranteed to make the handicapped player die peacefully.
Play games for fun, not for abuse.
Imagine a player who has just played this game, and as soon as he comes up, he has to face a large field of light bullets without mercy.
If players don't refund and abandon the pit, will they keep this game for the New Year?
And that's just one of the points of persuasion.
Next is the main event, even if there are hardcore players who can pass the test of miscellaneous soldiers, there are bosses with all kinds of fancy spell cards waiting for them.
Even if this player worked hard to defeat the boss of the first level.
I'm sorry, but there are six harder ones waiting for you.
Player experience?
Inexistent.
。 That's right, Lin Le just wants to use the super high difficulty of the Oriental barrage game to abuse the lucky ones who buy the game to the point of autism and refund.
There is even an irritable brother, who is so angry that he runs to the comment area to spit out the fragrance, and finally clicks on the refund.
The word-of-mouth collapsed, and the game sales naturally cooled, and the loss of 100,000 yuan should not be too easy.
In short, the whole set of operations, in one go, is simply perfect!
Thinking so, Lin Le felt that his inspiration had been stimulated, and his expression was cheerful, and the more he wrote, the more he wrote, the more hilarious he became.
It took an hour for the design concept to be written.
Lin Le checked it and smiled confidently. "After the sales of "Oriental Red Devil Township" plummeted, I should have almost 100,000 commercial funds in my account by then, so I first helped the original owner to repay the 40,000 yuan borrowed from my parents.
As for other things.... Well, I haven't thought about it yet, anyway, it doesn't hurt to make more money. ”
In his previous life, Lin Le was very ordinary, and he didn't have any great dreams.
If you have to say it, he hopes to live a free and unashamed and chic life (salted fish life) every day.
Specifically, you can catch up with new games all year round, play your favorite games, and count money while lying down.
Now that he has Goldfinger, Lin Le feels that it seems to be possible, and his future life is incomparably beautiful, and a sense of happiness arises spontaneously in his heart.
Subsequently, Lin Le put away his mind and started to do business, he wanted to buy the game resources for the production of "Oriental Red Devil Township".
