October 20th, Tuesday …
Inside a business office building in Shanghai …
Olivia finished her documents, pushed her chestnut-colored hair to the side of her face, and stretched tiredly.
Taking out a small photo frame from the drawer, Olivia looked at it carefully, and her face gradually turned red.
Just as she was about to reach out and touch the photo frame, there was a knock on the door.
"Please, please come in!" Olivia hurriedly stuffed the photo back into the drawer, her voice hoarse.
Lu Ye pushed open the door, a ghost floating beside him. He greeted Olivia.
"Good morning."
Olivia was slightly taken aback, and she said nervously, "Didn't you … go for the competition?"
"The lots were being drawn this afternoon, so I dropped by to take a look."
Lu Ye smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work during this period!"
"No, no! It's my honor to be of service to you! "Olivia defended herself emotionally.
"Sorry, I lost my composure …"
Olivia lowered her head and instinctively pushed up her spectacles, but she missed.
Good heavens, you also believe in 996?
Lu Ye was slightly taken aback, and he coughed dryly.
"Right, how's the revenue from the previous games?"
At the mention of work, Olivia's expression turned serious, and she compared the accounts.
"After deducting other expenses, the net profit every month is two million yuan. Now, the company's accounts have a total of …"
Hearing the numbers, Lu Ye was slightly speechless.
Plants vs Zombies and Angry Lil Dove accounted for most of the revenue from the games, and they were mainly mobile games.
If he could cash it out, he could totally pay off Sirona's debt!
However, as a limited liability company, Lu Ye was clear about the division of personal and company assets.
Anyway, he did not have much hope of regaining his freedom.
He might as well make the company bigger and stronger …
In the future, he could also let Sirona be the lady boss …
Lu Ye shook his head, stopped daydreaming, and handed the USB drive in his hand to Olivia.
"This is the proposal for the next project. There's no rush, we can take it slowly."
Olivia looked at Lu Ye in surprise.
In just half a year, he had created three blockbuster games. Now, he was presenting another proposal …
It would be an insult to Mr Lu to call him a genius game designer.
But … to be able to assist such a boss was indeed a fortunate thing.
Olivia opened the file in the USB drive and browsed through it carefully.
[Sprite Trading Card Game (PTCG)
It was a tabletop game with elements such as collecting, exchanging, and battling.
Let the children who can't or yearn for a battle between elves also enjoy the charm of a battle between elves …]
He looked at Olivia's serious expression.
Lu Ye leaned against his desk and began to explain.
"The threshold for fighting elves is very high. Even if you subdue the elves, not every family can afford to train them."
"But according to the survey, being a trainer is still the number one career choice in the hearts of children."
"This set of cards is targeted at children. It teaches them elemental restraints, the evolution forms of various sprites, the characteristics of sprites, and so on."
Lu Ye smiled.
"Although it's not very attractive to adult trainers, for children, this might be their first lesson in fighting elves."
Olivia's pupils constricted and she nodded subconsciously.
In terms of the market, the toys for children were still a sea of blue.
Although there were elf-related card games on the market.
But they were only simple exchanges and did not form interactive elements.
If it was really as Mr Lu said … they could also put elf-related knowledge into the cards.
Whether it was teachers, parents, or children, they would all be satisfied with this product.
And wasn't this pictorial style what the Pokémon company was best at?
Olivia raised her head and looked at Lu Ye with a burning gaze.
"But … the project of this card game is too big …"
"I will invite Dr. Ohki in Guandu to help."
Lu Ye smiled and said, "If Elf Cards can really promote elf-related knowledge, I believe Dr. Ohki will be very satisfied."
Whether it was making illustrated books or opening a lecture hall, Dr. Ohki had always been responsible for spreading knowledge.
If there was really a card game that promoted elven culture, he believed that Dr. Ohki would be the first to try it out.
"In short, there are three elements."
Lu Ye stretched out three fingers.
"First, record elf-related knowledge into a card, including elven characteristics and evolution forms."
"Second, formulate perfect game rules and simulate elven battles with cards, including elemental restraints and abnormal states."
"Third, accurately release it into the market for children in trainers' academies or children who aspire to become trainers."
"I believe that this set of Elf Cards will be their first step on the path of trainers," Lu Ye said with a smile.
Olivia stared at Lu Ye with a fervent gaze. She lowered her head and muttered,
She lowered her head and muttered, "Let more people feel the charm of elves … This is the purpose of the Pokémon Company …"
Lu Ye snapped his fingers. "That's right!"
For children, learning about elemental restraints was the first step to becoming a trainer.
However, compared to the boring memorization of textbooks, playing cards was better for them to remember relevant knowledge.
In the field of board games, Mr. Lu knew that more than three types of gameplay could be magically modified:
The traditional PTCG, Yu-Gi-Oh, Hearthstone, Gwent …
A board game could be made into an animation and sold as toys. It was double the joy!
"I've already called Molly and asked her to draw the illustration."
Lu Ye said, "After the illustration is completed, please print a sample so that I can let Dr. Ohki participate."
If Dr. Ohki didn't agree, Lu Ye still knew Dr. Yamanashi.
If it really didn't work … it was the same to let Zhenghui do it.
In short, Lu Ye needed an authoritative figure to endorse the "Elven Collection Card Exchange (PTCG)".
After all, it was a game where the children were happy and the parents were at ease.
No matter which era it was, it could set off a frenzy.
Olivia hesitated.
"But … isn't the workload too much! Moreover, we don't have professional illustration handbooks or anything like that … "
"Let's do Guandu's 149 illustration handbooks first. We'll release expansion packs later."
Lu Ye waved his hand. "If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me. I can still memorize Guandu's 149 illustration handbooks!"
Olivia widened her eyes in disbelief.
After a while, Olivia puffed up her cheeks and said,
"I'm also a researcher. I can still find this bit of information!"
Although the gameplay of PTCG was a little complicated, Lu Ye still managed to roughly restore it under his magical modifications.
It was similar to Yu-Gi-Oh's mechanism. Both sides summoned a basic Pokémon and used moves to beat the other party's sprites to the brink of death.
However, they could not directly attack players.
Instead, the goal of the game was to defeat the opponent's six sprites and obtain six reward cards.
Some children might ask, "Mr. Lu, if there's a real-life battle to fight, who would play your board game?"
This was like, "If there's a real-life basketball game to play, who would play NBA2K?"
In short, Mr. Lu still had high expectations for the "Elven Collection Card Exchange".
Moreover, there were so many top trainers in the group.
If he could invite Chi Hong to do publicity …
There was no doubt that this card set of board games definitely had the potential to become popular!
Lu Ye imagined the scene of the future dojo battle and the two sides drawing a set of cards from each other …
"As expected … playing cards is really Tanoki!" Lu Ye chuckled.
…
After arranging the new project, Mr. Lu brought Geng Gui to the venue to draw lots.
The top 16 of the East China League was about to begin.
