You said you were going to make games, how did you become the richest man without doing anything?

Chapter 39 Top Level Pulling
Lu Yu thought for a moment. He only fixed some low-level code bugs this week and did not fully understand all the gameplay.

So in his impression, this is still just an ordinary farming simulation game.

He decided to stick with his original guess and said, "Around 1000 at most are online at the same time."

Although he said this, he was still secretly worried.

After the game is launched, will it perform too poorly and cause Taoyuan Township's reputation to collapse?

……

The Saturday before the game's release.

Channel 9 of Donghai City TV broadcast a new episode of "E-sports World".

During the program, the host and Wu Ya, one of the Five Central Plains, talked about the new changes in Chinese-style martial arts games and the development trend of PK moves and routines in martial arts games.

As the show was coming to an end, Wu Ya suddenly spoke:
"Actually, I've recently been trying out a game from an emerging field, the new game from Tenghui called 'Dog Paradise Adventure'."

"Oh?" The female host was quite surprised.
"I didn't expect that Teacher Wuya really is... old but not old at heart."

A barely perceptible blush flashed across Wuya's face, but quickly disappeared.

“I played this game not because of its subject matter or genre, but because it was produced by Tenghui.

As the largest game manufacturer in China, I have a good impression of Tenghui, especially their traditional Chinese martial arts game "The Sword of Tomorrow", which I have given very high praise.

We game reviewers really hope that leading manufacturers like Tenghui can set new examples in innovation in the gaming field."

After drinking a sip of water to moisten his throat, Wu Ya changed the subject.

“Of course, I’ve also noticed that the game Goblin Paradise has recently caused some inadvertent controversy online.

As a completely independent, objective and neutral media person, I have to stand up and say something fair.

In fact, I believe that most players don’t care about two similar games, which one was released first or later, or who is imitating whom.

Everyone only cares about whose game is more fun and whose game is more exquisite.

And this point actually already has an answer.

Please ask the director to cut the scene so that we can all watch it on the big screen together."

Soon, the big screen behind the guests began to play a detailed comparison of the scenes of Cat Girl Paradise and Dog Girl Paradise.

Wu Ya stood up, holding a laser pointer, and began to explain the details.

"As you can see, whether it's texture resolution, quality, or the level of detail, Tenghui's new work completely surpasses its competitors.

The imitations from competitors are obviously made of general components bought online, and they exude an air of poverty.

After all, Tenghui is a big company, and its technology and manpower are not something that a small studio can match.

Therefore, when the core mechanics, gameplay, and even main story of these two games are exactly the same, I would recommend players to play the game from a big-name company with better graphics.”

After saying all this in one breath, Wu Ya breathed a sigh of relief.

After years of experience, he has mastered this set of rhetoric to perfection.

First, blur the key points, put aside the facts, and then directly make a conclusion: who came first and who came later, who imitated whom is actually meaningless. Players only care about whether the game is fun.

After this top-level push, Wuya directly made the final kill:

"I've been in the game appreciation industry for over 30 years. I can't say I've developed a pair of sharp eyes, but I can say I'm absolutely spotless.

In our industry, we often say that we can see the big picture from the small details.

Taoyuanxiang Company's first product was so perfunctory, I can conclude that this manufacturer's subsequent new products will definitely be mediocre."

After the show aired, online public opinion reached a new climax. On Weibo, the phrase #Wuya Teacher's Sharp Comments on Taoyuan Township# once again became a trending search.

"Wow, in the Central Plains Five Series, the highly respected teacher Wu Ya has also met his end?"

"Wu Ya is worth a lot of money now. Teng Hui's PR team is really willing to spend a lot of money to get him to speak."

"The person above, stop using PR tactics to accuse others of wrongdoing. Are you going to stop Teacher Ren Wuya from speaking the truth?"

Now, the public opinion on the Internet has changed, and the voices supporting Taoyuan Township have weakened a lot.

The reason, of course, is that Tenghui Interactive Entertainment’s new work publicity campaign is overwhelming, which has aroused everyone’s appetite and expectations.

But on the other hand, Taoyuan Township has not released any news about the new work except for a promotional picture that is beautiful but confusing.

I have no idea about the gameplay, genre, or story theme.

There isn't even a release date, the only thing that stands out is its Buddhist nature.

This naturally made the voices of players supporting Taoyuan Township smaller and smaller in this online public opinion storm.

In the Cat Girl Paradise forum, many posts expressing wavering confidence gradually emerged.

"They just posted a promotional image and nothing happened. Could it be that Taoyuanxiang Studio has already run away? No way."

"That's impossible. Last time, a friend of mine passed by Taoyuan Township when he was buying fried dough sticks and said that the boss of Taoyuan Township had legs that were 1.8 meters long."

"Come on, that post was found to be fake. That building isn't Taoyuan Township's office at all. Youtiao brother has become a favorite on the forum now."

In addition to the idle posts about quarreling and arguing, there are also many practical analysis posts predicting the gameplay.

In the forum, almost 90% of the players believe that Codename Island is a horizontal scrolling game, but the stage has become an island.

This is also the reason why many people are not optimistic about Taoyuan Township, because Tenghui’s new work is also a horizontal version.

Tenghui is a large company that is good at piling up materials, while Taoyuanxiang has at most dozens of people. It remains to be seen whether it can compete with Tenghui, which has tens of thousands of people, in publicity and promotion and piling up materials.

Of course, there are also some fans who are sticking to the public opinion position.

Among them is a Tieba user with the ID "Xiao Yuanyuan", who is very active and posts everywhere:

"No, I believe in Taoyuan Township. If you trust me, the game will definitely be fun!"

……

Monday, 8am, cat cafe.

Under the anxious and expectant gazes of four people, "My Leisurely Island Owner Life" is officially launched!
Moreover, it was released almost at the same time as Dog Paradise Adventure.

A moment after the game was released, a system prompt popped up in front of Lu Yu:
[This cycle is about to end. Current leisure points are 378.5, and are being redeemed...]

37850 yuan has been credited to my personal account.

[Congratulations on completing the extra mission of this cycle: releasing the second game. Reward: a random surprise effect lottery.]

A large lucky draw wheel appeared on the system screen, spinning wildly, emitting blue light, and then stopped at a certain position:
[Colorful Festival Lv2] Effect: In the next 90 days, if the user can feel happy from the games or other products of Taoyuanxiang Company, the host will also obtain leisure points, with a rebate rate of 0.01%.

(Note: In each settlement cycle, the host can only obtain leisure points from the same user once)
[Currently, Taoyuan Township Company's operating capital is 749000 yuan]

[The next settlement cycle is: 90 days later]

[Additional Task: Before the end of the period, release the third game produced by Taoyuanxiang Company, and the theme of this game must be a modern urban genre.]

[Task Reward: Random Surprise Effect]

[Because the host caused multiple critical hits on company employees during the previous settlement cycle, the Qiyuan mission has been triggered. Please open the mission list to view it.]
