Early July.

Since Liu Xi and Liu Shu are both after the high school entrance examination, they actually had a holiday very early, and after the exam in mid-June, they have been on vacation for half a month, but it is only the time for the normal school holiday.

Liu Shu and Wang Chang's novels are on the shelves separately.

Liu Shu's "Infinite Terror" was put on the shelves a week after it was forced on the homepage, and the collection of the novel at this time has broken 150,000, and if the average subscription is calculated according to the subscription ratio of ten to one, then Liu Shu's novel will be at least 15,000 on the first day.

And Wang Chang is on the shelves when he is on the homepage, and his book "Reincarnation Paradise" already has a collection of 70,000 or 80,000, and normally the first order will be nearly 10,000.

Originally, Liu Xi thought that Wang Chang's first order would be at most 3,000, but he didn't expect that after the strong push, the collection of his novels actually doubled directly, and it seems that there are still quite a lot of readers who watch anime and pay attention to two-dimensional novels at the starting point.

July is a harvest season for the two of them, the novel is on the shelves, as long as it is stably updated for another month, then tens of thousands of manuscript fees will be available, but for Liu Xi, it is bleak.

This month, she has to pay the salaries of five people, and she has to pay the follow-up payment of the outsourcing company, and the point is that the system renewal side will also cost 100,000 yuan.

Although it is said that because Stardew Valley was released in the early access version last month, nearly 2,000 copies of the game were sold, but even if you don't count taxes and Steam commissions, Liu Xi only earned 80,000 yuan, which is not enough to renew.

Persistent headache.

The only thing to be happy about is that thanks to the addition of two big programmers, Stardew Valley can complete all the content of the official version by the end of this month, and then it will be truly global synchronous online, before going online, Liu Xi plans to copy the game to some domestic and foreign evaluation agencies, such as the more famous IGN.

If IGN's rating is high enough, then Liu Xi's Stardew Valley will definitely sell well.

After the time entered July, Liu Xi became even more salty.

Since there are two bigwigs in control of the game, Liu Xi, a guy who doesn't know how to make games at all, doesn't need to get involved, as long as he takes the latest version of Stardew Valley from their side home every few days to play it, and occasionally checks the monitoring to see how many hours they work every day.

The luck of the novel is not bad, although the average subscription has not risen much, and even fallen a lot, but the manuscript fee is still settled out of 200,000 yuan, which is due to Liu Xi who said in the author's statement that he had a birthday, and then deceived a lot of rewards.

Although the money is not enough, but when the manuscript fee is sent in the middle of the year, these manuscript fees and the money from selling the game seem to be just enough to fill the vacancy, as long as this month is over, and the game will be on the shelves next month, Liu Xi feels that he may not be short of money.

As a pure salted fish, Liu Xi hasn't even gone out of the door for several days, and every day he sleeps until he wakes up naturally, coding words with fate, and then playing the dot tower in a double row with Liu Shu or something.

Dota 2 is a bit retro in Liu Xi's eyes, but moda games have never looked at the picture quality, just fun.

Liu Shu's talent for Dota is really good, only played for about a month, and the ranking came to six thousand points, although the highest score in this time period has exceeded ten thousand, but you must know that many professions are still only six or seven thousand points.

The 6,000 points segment is probably equivalent to the diamonds of LOL in another world.,Anyway, you can occasionally meet some professional players.。

On this day, Liu Shu's game was over, and he suddenly came to Liu Xi's bedroom, looking a little serious.

"Open the door."

"Wait."

Liu Xi hurriedly took his hands off the keyboard, ran to open the door, and then looked up at Liu Shu in front of the door, a little puzzled.

This guy basically doesn't come to her room, and usually Liu Xi talks about things when he plays switch, or when he eats.

"Come into the room and say."

Liu Shu walked directly into the house, closed the door casually, and then looked at Liu Xi seriously.

Liu Xi was still confused, and he didn't understand what was wrong with him at all.

After a while, Liu Shu finally said something.

"What do you think would happen if I went professional?"

He looked at Liu Xi's face solemnly, and said seriously: "I have more than 6,000 points now, and I feel that 7,000 points and 8,000 points are no problem, wouldn't it be good if I played professionally?" ”

Liu Xi was stunned, but he didn't expect Liu Shu to say this.

In fact, Liu Xi in her previous life also thought about playing professionally, at that time, she was already in college, she had just recognized her talent for games, and then looked at the scenery of those professional players on the Internet, and looked at the shouts of those fans during the game, so she naturally had the urge to play professionally.

It's just that Liu Xi was already twenty years old at that time, a little older, and he didn't have any advantage in playing professionally, so he gave up, and now Liu Shu is just eighteen years old, which is just the age to play professionally......

Not......

Liu Xi had also thought about Liu Shu's career before, and thought it was quite good, if he got the results, it would be good, but if he couldn't get the results, Liu Shu at this age could continue to go back to study.

"I think you can think again." Liu Xi sat on his bed and looked up at Liu Shu opposite, "You are only 6,000 points now, and other people's occupations are 7,000 or 8,000 points, so you can't get started." ”

"Seven or eight thousand is very simple, I hammered a lot of seven or eight thousand points."

"But when you reach seven or eight thousand, there will be a profession that will take the initiative to find you, right?"

Liu Xi was stunned suddenly, she suddenly thought, what if she formed the team?

If Stardew Valley makes enough money, get your own team and go auditions for various competitions......

The Dota Contest in this world is actually very simple, and it is divided into three types of auditions.

Every time there is a competition, there will be some teams in the main competition that are directly invited, and they do not need to play any games, and they are the first-team teams in the near future. The qualifiers will also invite some teams, which are generally second-tier teams. The rest of the qualifiers are made up of teams that have qualified from the auditions.

But joining the audition is very simple, as long as you win the championship in the highest level of the Battle League, you can join the audition of any competition.

The Warrior League is divided into nine divisions from 1 to 9, and the divisions are calculated by the system according to the ladder score of the participants, and the higher the score anyway, the higher the division. The Warriors only need to win three games in a row to claim a so-called championship.

Having said all this, Liu Xi just wants to say that joining the Dota profession is actually a very simple thing, as long as you find five high-end ranked passers-by to play in the 9-dan Warrior League, you can step into the professional circle with one foot.

"Seven or eight thousand is so difficult, now I lose if I accidentally play the ranking, and I will definitely have to play for a month or two to score seven thousand points." Liu Shu leaned his back against the wall in distress and said embarrassedly, "A friend of mine who played the Warriors League online was invited to play professionally, although that team was very rubbish and often couldn't get into the qualifiers." ”

"Why don't you speak?"

Only then did Liu Shu notice Liu Xi's distraction.

And Liu Xi suddenly reacted, stood up excitedly, and asked Liu Shu with bright eyes: "What if we form a team by ourselves?" ”

"Huh?"

"You find four more people, go to the 9th Warrior League together, and then play the audition! Play the pre-selection! Play the main match and win the championship! Liu Xi's eyes were full of excitement, and a hand suddenly slapped Liu Shu's shoulder, "I believe you will definitely become the champion of TI next year!" ”

“.…..”

Liu Shu sighed: "But the problem is that the most recent game is only three months later, and now it is the TI qualifiers, and all the other games have given way." ”

"It's okay! Let's get started! This month gives you time to find your teammates, and next month call them all over for training! ”

Anyway, the salary is lower, the house is a little broken, and if you get five more computers, a team will be built! It doesn't cost much!

And this kind of thing! I'm so excited!
