Qiao Liang was dumbfounded.
That's it?
I cleared the game just like that?
I cleared it with just one line?
You should at least make a trophy for me! Make a podium for me!
If you don't have any art resources, you could at least make a cheering sound effect for me!
How much could a cheering sound effect cost you? Do you have to be so stingy?!
I cleared the game after eight hours, but you left me with a black screen and mocked me with just one line!
Qiao Liang felt like he could not take it anymore, be it physically or mentally.
He was really immersed in the game and was so angry that he wanted to cry!
However, even though he was breaking down and angry, Qiao Liang still felt a little gratified and a little … relieved?
It was not because he was a masochist, but because he knew that these were precious materials!
Seeing how the UP Master was suffering, wouldn't the audience like and share it obediently?
Qiao Liang checked again and found that the entire eight hours of his game had been recorded completely.
"Just you wait, I'll make arrangements for you when I wake up!"
Qiao Liang said fiercely to the game. Then, he saved the recorded video and fell asleep on his bed.
…
Three days later …
Pei Qian woke up naturally on his bed in the dormitory, feeling blissful.
During this period of time, he had adapted to university life.
He woke up naturally every day and did not have to worry about work, did not have to worry about KPIs, and did not have to look at his boss's angry face.
All in all, it could be summed up in one sentence: comfortable!
Of course, it would be even better if he was richer.
The first thing he did when he woke up was to call the system!
Pei Qian felt a sense of satisfaction when he saw the '0' in the System Funds.
Comfortable!
As for the pitiful figure behind his Personal Wealth, Pei Qian could not do anything about it.
He had been frugal enough, but there was no way he could save!
He only had a thousand yuan a month. Even if he ate at the canteen for every meal, it was still not enough.
After all, he could not spend all his money on food. He had to have some other daily expenses, right?
Pei Qian could not wait any longer. He was waiting for the settlement 11 days later and all his losses in the System Funds to be converted into Personal Wealth. That would be great.
The System Funds was still 0. This was because the game platform's share had not been transferred to the company's account yet.
ESRO's official gaming platform would split the profits once a week, and it was done automatically by the system. The developers and the platform would split the profits 50/50, which was pretty smart.
If you want to check your income and the number of downloads of the game before you split the profits, you can go to the game editor to check.
In the first two days after the game was released, Pei Qian went to the game editor to take a look at it from time to time. He found that more than ten unlucky people had bought and downloaded his game.
After all, it was a new game, and it had a recommendation spot in the corner. There was no guarantee that there would be a few naive players downloading it to play. This was very normal.
After more than ten downloads and splitting the profits with the platform, Pei Qian would only receive a few yuan at most. It was not a big deal.
Moreover, as expected, these players all gave one-star reviews. This caused The Lonely Desert Road's ratings to be appalling. There probably wouldn't be any stupid players who would download it in the future.
After confirming that his game was definitely going to fail, Pei Qian spent the entire day happily without opening the game editor to check.
Even though he felt that there wouldn't be any difference even if he were to open the game editor today, Pei Qian still opened it instinctively.
Pei Qian had a strange mindset.
When other designers opened the game editor to check the figures of their games, they would always look forward to the higher the better, wishing that there would be thousands of downloads every time they refreshed.
However, when Pei Qian opened the game editor, he hoped that the number of downloads for his game would be as low as possible. It would be best if it was a huge zero.
"If I'm not wrong, the number of downloads should still be in the double digits …"
"Holy sh * t?!"
"What the hell happened?!"
Pei Qian was stunned.
He was shocked to see that the number of downloads for his game had already reached four digits and was climbing towards five!
Piak!
Pei Qian slapped his forehead with his right hand, thinking that there was something wrong with his eyes.
"How could there be more than 8,000 people who have downloaded my game?!"
"And it looks like it's going to break 10,000 soon!"
"There's still 10 days till the next settlement!"
Pei Qian was flustered, completely flustered.
Things were completely out of his expectations.
This was a math problem that even a primary school student could solve. 8,000 downloads equaled 8,000 in revenue. If the platform deducted half of it, that would be a net profit of 4,000.
According to ESRO's standards, the tax for most games was only around 5%. Furthermore, independent games that were released on ESRO's official platform had preferential tax policies and were basically negligible.
In other words, after the platform transferred the money to the company's account this weekend, the System Funds would be 4,000!
What did that mean?
Pei Qian had earned 4,000?
No!
On the contrary, Pei Qian had lost 4,000!
Initially, Pei Qian had lost 50,000 in the System Funds and earned 50,000 in his Personal Wealth.
Now that he had earned 4,000 in the System Funds, his net loss was equivalent to 46000. The amount of money that Pei Qian could convert had shrunk from 50,000 to 46,000!
The scariest thing was that the number of downloads was still increasing steadily!
Each time Pei Qian refreshed the game editor, the number would jump. At times, it would jump in the tens and at other times, it would jump in the hundreds.
Each jump was like rubbing salt on Pei Qian's wounds!
That was because the more he earned here, the more his Personal Wealth would shrink!
Furthermore, there were still 10 days to the next settlement. If the number of downloads increased by 10 times in this period …
Psst …
This was bad!
Pei Qian could not sit still any longer.
"What's the meaning of this? Is there a bug in the official platform? "
"How could such a trashy game have thousands of downloads? Are you f * cking messing with me?"
He was still in disbelief as he hurriedly opened the official platform and found The Lonely Desert Road's comments section.
To his shock, the game's ratings did not change much. However, there were a few hundred comments!
"Teacher Qiao's tour group!"
"Teacher Qiao's tour group + 1"
"I'm dying of laughter! To think that such an anti-human trashy game exists! I've learned something new! "
"I downloaded it and challenged it. I was defeated in five minutes."
"A yuan doesn't seem worth the effort of refunding. I'll just spit before leaving. Heh … tui!"
"I recommended this game to my friend and told him to persevere till the end for there would be a huge surprise and easter egg. Now that my friend wants to cut ties with me, what should I do? "
"Previous poster, are you even human? I told my friend honestly that there was nothing in the game at the end except for a black screen and a sentence. I even told him the sentence word-for-word. In the end, he thought that I was lying to him and insisted on taking a look for himself. He hasn't even cleared the game and has already smashed three controllers. I think we're not far from breaking ties. "
"Does anyone know the address of this producer? I don't mean anything else. I just want to send him some souvenirs or something. "
"I suggest that everyone stop playing and watch Teacher Qiao's entire game. Teacher Qiao really recorded for eight hours …"
"Heh, let me tell you. This game can indeed make you think about life. However, you won't be able to experience it through fast-forwarding."
"Bluff, continue bluffing."
"It's true. Didn't Tripitaka have to go through 81 tribulations to obtain Buddhist scriptures? Do you think that you can become a Buddha like Tripitaka just because you read Journey to the West? "
Pei Qian was dumbfounded.
What was going on?!
Where did all these comments come from?!
Teacher Qiao's tour group?
Pei Qian was confused. He opened the browser and searched for 'Teacher Qiao'.
Soon, he found Teacher Qiao's personal page on Potato Web. There, he saw a video posted a day ago.
'Trashy Games Diss Episode 64: I spent eight hours killing through a trashy game, yet …'
'Trashy Games Diss Episode 64: I spent eight hours killing through a trashy game, yet …'
The number of views had exceeded 200,000.
Pei Qian was speechless.
