Chapter 6: The Cursed Thing and the Motivation to Make Money
Luo Han held the family photo with his hand, and scenes appeared in front of his eyes.
One day, due to a mechanical failure of the bus, the brakes failed, and it rushed uncontrollably into the raging river, which eventually led to a tragedy.
Except for the mother and son of a family of three, who escaped, the rest all died. And the way they died, naturally, was drowning and suffocating.
And because they didn't die on the spot, they naturally didn't become weird. Then, the probability of a cursed thing appearing on them is indeed the largest!
Because of this, Luo Han decided to take a risk, and the result was exactly the same as he expected. Immediately afterwards, some information appeared in Luo Han's mind:
"The Cursed Thing - Family Portrait"
"Condenses the thoughts of the mother and son for their father (husband), and can summon a man who has turned into an anomaly to resist other strange attacks, which can last up to thirty seconds!"
"Each time you use this item, you need to consume ten Yin Yang Coins, and the interval between use must not be less than ten minutes. Note: Using it multiple times in the same game greatly increases the chance of a weird resurgence! ”
Yin and Yang coins? Weird resurgence? What are these?
No, I don't want to! The most important thing now is to get rid of this weird computer!
When he lit up the computer screen again, the interface of the horror game maker appeared in front of him, and there was an additional game in it, called "Midnight Bus".
The following is also accompanied by a brief introduction: Zhang San, a senior social animal, accidentally took a late-night bus after returning home from overtime, and whenever the vehicle entered the station, a terrifying supernatural event would occur. How can Zhang San find clues to survive in this desperate situation and successfully leave this bus?
Difficulty: 1 star.
Is the game published?
What the hell? Still Zhang San? It's so perfunctory to even come up with a name!
The most important thing is to get this computer out of the way!
Luo Han opened major second-hand websites and posted sales information on them:
"The top laptop, ninety percent of the new, because my wife doesn't let me play, I can't bear to cut my love, price: 8888."
Hehe, I can still make a profit after selling it.
When Luo Han was making wishful thinking in his heart, he suddenly received a text message on his mobile phone:
"Dear Horror Game Maker Users: According to the "Horror Game Maker" user agreement you signed, if you violate the user agreement without authorization and refuse to use this product, we will have the right to cancel your account, including but not limited to death from illness, drowning, car accident, etc."
Does this mean that if you sell it, you die?
Luo Han silently deleted the product information he had released, found the user agreement, and there really was this!
What he wanted to do most at this time was to travel back in time, slap himself in the face a few hours ago, and ask himself loudly why he didn't read this user agreement carefully word by word.
But I can only think about such a thing, after all, I can't really travel back to the past, I can only think about whether there is any other way to make up for it.
Then, Luo Han clicked Contact Customer Service, opened the dialog box, and sent a message.
"Is there customer service?"
"Dear horror game producer, I'm Ma Mian, number 444, how can I help you?"
"I want to cancel this account."
"As long as you die, your account will be automatically deleted!"
"So, can I not be involved in the production?"
"According to the user agreement, you must participate in the production of the game at least once per calendar month, and there is no frequency cap limit."
Today is the end of the month, and there is still a week to go until next month. Luo Han suddenly felt unusually desperate.
"Then will I get any reward for participating in your game?"
"All after-tax income from the release of the game goes to you, and we only need you to be involved in the production and promotion of the game."
"So, can I choose the difficulty of the game?"
Luo Han, who is not yet dead, plans to struggle one last time, if this maker can freely choose the difficulty, then he can always struggle in a game as difficult as "Late Night Bus", and maybe there is a glimmer of hope for survival.
"Rest assured, all newcomers will start on a one-star difficulty, move up to a two-star difficulty after a certain number of engagements, and so on, up to a maximum of a five-star difficulty."
"And what about after I'm done working on the 5-star difficulty game?"
"If you can get involved, you'll know when the time comes."
I understand, I can't estimate that I can't get a five-star difficulty game, and I'm cold.
Luo Han sighed, closed the dialogue window, and clicked on the game.
As soon as you enter the game, there is a cutscene, a bus pulls into the starting station, and an office worker man rushes over, boards the bus, and sits down at random. After that, the player is free to move around.
Then, Luo Han played the whole game seriously. Although the game graphics are very realistic, the light and shadow effects are against the sky, the character models are finely made, the music rendering is very good, and no bugs have been found, but Luo Han does not think that this game will have much sales.
The reason why he values the sales of this game so much is not because he wants to make a fortune, but because he wants to leave his sister with some more legacy.
Legacy, yes, is a very apt word. Luo Han knew that luck played a large role in his ability to survive this horror game.
If Xu Cai, who was willing to help the newcomer, rescued him many times, he would have died inside.
However, luck is such a thing, sooner or later, it will run out. So before he died, Luo Han wanted to save a sum of money for his sister to use for her tuition and living expenses.
Since the death of both parents, Luo Han and his sister's lives have fallen from heaven to hell in one fell swoop. Relying on the meager inheritance left by his parents, Luo Han was able to successfully finish college and find a job with a low salary.
And this already low salary, having to support himself and his sister at the same time, is even more stretched.
Thankfully, my sister has been very sensible and obedient since she was a child, knows how to be frugal and has a good academic performance. Of all her classmates, her clothes were the most shabby, but she didn't care.
One of the things that my sister said to Luo Han the most was that she should study hard and strive to find a high-paying job after graduation to relieve her brother's pressure.
And all this also made Luo Han even more guilty, feeling guilty that he was not able to provide better living conditions for such an excellent sister and let his sister accompany him to endure hardships.
Thinking of this, Luo Han made a decision, he wanted to release this game, and work hard to promote it, and save as much money as possible for his sister before the next game!
