Chapter 8: Gold it is! This book's data must have been inflated!
When the test ended, Zhu Ji was lounging around like Ge You.
He collapsed onto the chair.
His eyes were lifeless, as if his soul had been ripped out.
"How could this be—there's such a game—"
"Boss, can I take this game back and test it? Don't worry, I absolutely won't leak a single word!"
"If you want to leak it, you can report me to the police and have me arrested."
At this moment, Shen Huaizhou walked out of his office and looked at the popularity score, which had stopped rising.
"Wait... do you really think this game is fun?"
When Zhu Ji saw that even the person in charge of this studio was asking her this question, she suddenly paused!
I couldn't help but recall my own guess!
In the novel "I'm Just Giving Up, I Just Want to Drive Players Crazy", the author's name seems to be Insomnia Powder.
Insomnia powder, insomnia games?
Holy crap! I think I've stumbled into a den of thieves! Isn't this boss that scoundrel author?
What does that mean?
Could it be that my identity has been discovered? No, wait, didn't I get my testing qualification from that guy called the game connoisseur?
How did he know that a middleman like him had given himself the testing qualification?
Zhu Ji's strange expression didn't escape Shen Huaizhou's notice.
The corners of her mouth turned up slightly at a 30-degree angle, but she quickly covered it up.
The game has now entered its final stage.
What you see now is just a test demo; even if you continue playing, you won't be able to access the later content.
So, Shen Huaizhou thought about it.
He calmly said, "Well then, we can't continue testing now, but we can do it after the game is released."
"Here's a free copy of 'Getting Over It' for you."
"At that time, I hope you can help us promote it."
"Free gift?"
"When will your game be released? I'll buy it right away!"
Zhu Ji looked excited.
As for promoting this game as simple? He's already a big name in the single-player game community, even if he's not a streamer.
I can get to know quite a few game streamers!
How can you play such a torturous game alone? What a joke!
Sure enough, Zhu Ji immediately went to his gaming group!
[Zhu Ji: Hurry! I'm going to share a game with you!]
[Zhu Ji: No way! This game isn't released for another few days, wait!]
The message was sent out and then withdrawn.
He saw Shen Huaizhou staring at him speechlessly.
"Hehe, I forgot. Don't worry, I'll definitely get my friends to come in and promote it."
Ding--
Keep an eye on it—
Still staring—
Shen Huaizhou simply stared at the young man in front of him without saying a word.
Zhu Ji was stunned for a moment.
Something seems off. Does this kid know who I am?
I am Zhu Ji, a single-player Celestial Dragon!
But this game in front of me really does attract me. If I were to tell anyone, I've been playing games for over ten years.
I'm stuck on a side-scrolling platformer.
Wouldn't that be an utter disgrace?
Shen Huaizhou slowly walked over, leaned close to his ear, and whispered something.
"The Golden Alliance, huh? Of course, one leader is enough; no need for any gold..."
"I'm still pretty kind, aren't I?"
"(⊙o⊙)..."
"Holy shit! You!"
"Shh, it's a secret, just you know."
Shen Huaizhou quietly patted his shoulder, smoothing out the wrinkles in his clothes.
Then he smiled faintly.
He returned to his office without looking back.
Zhu Ji was left alone, standing in the office testing area that was filled with people who didn't even belong to her, and blankly opened the reading app.
Then, he frantically deleted all his posts.
[A user named "Single-player Celestial Dragon" donated 10000000 reading coins to the novel "The Me Who's Just Giving Up, I Only Want to Drive Players Crazy!"]
[Congratulations to reader 'Single-player Celestial Dragon' for becoming a Gold Alliance Member of this book.]
A Gold Alliance member would tip 100,000 yuan at once, even though Zhu Ji wasn't short of money.
But if his elderly father found out, he really would break his legs.
Do you think reality is like the domineering CEOs in novels?
They can force a plane to stop just because it's a project worth hundreds of millions.
What do you mean by "white moonlight" being overseas, the kind where someone goes abroad to pursue someone?
One Gold Alliance is worth a whole 100,000 Donghuang coins.
But he's already gambled his parents' lives and fortunes! If he doesn't smash it, his third leg will be broken when he gets home!
Damn it!!!
As the author of this novel, Shen Huaizhou naturally knew about this matter.
Furthermore, if a book receives a Gold Grand Alliance membership, it will be displayed in the app.
It's practically a full-screen recommendation slot.
……
After Zhu Ji left the studio, Shen Huaizhou typed out a few more lines of code.
At 8 p.m., after everyone in the studio had left work, he took the opportunity to update the content with brand new information.
The following content is about the complete explosion of popularity of "Getting Over It".
The game sold a million copies, and suddenly, the studio, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, was saved!
However, because of the game's complex gameplay, the protagonist Xiao Chunan became known as a "perverted designer" among players.
Without hesitation, the protagonist upgraded his talents in art design, storytelling, and music.
For the protagonist in the novel, these are all essential elements for making a game.
After all, even novels need to adhere to logic.
The style and gameplay of "Getting Over It" are relatively simple.
So, the protagonist Xiao Chunan can still manage to create it, but what if he encounters a major game next?
Having written about the protagonist's reactions, here's a third-person perspective praising the game.
And in another world, there is unique media that praises and supports the game.
Write it on the spot, publish it on the spot!
Soon, a large number of comments appeared in the comment section!
[Single-player Celestial Dragon: I've personally reviewed this game. Although it's a rather rudimentary indie game, it's incredibly fun!]
[Single-player Celestial Dragon: I never expected that the game from the novel would actually appear! The author is awesome! A time machine, huh?!]
Anyway, Zhu Ji, the leader of the Golden Alliance, has already left.
Why not praise this novel?
This comment made Shen Huaizhou doubt whether the game Xiao Chunan was playing was "Getting Over It".
Instead, it's Dark Souls, Nioh, Black Myth, and Zelda.
Could it be that I really am a genius?
Does this book really have the potential to make me one of the Twelve Heavenly Kings?
"good!"
"Just for this Golden Alliance, I'm going to write 10,000 words today! I'm not human until I finish it!"
After finishing his takeout, Shen Huaizhou put his hands on the keyboard.
Regardless of whether the gold is part of a bet.
In short, it's impossible for a Gold Alliance member not to add extra chapters, even though adding extra chapters during the free period doesn't make much difference.
But what if I forget about it and save it for later when it's published?
Let's do it!
