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

Chapter 45: Masao's Cold Joke
The game options pop up in front of G-chan:

"Option 1: Let it tell a bad joke, then decide whether to eat it."

"Option 2: Steam it directly!"

G-chan chuckled and chose option one. She wanted to see what other pearls this crab could spit out of its mouth!
Masao's crab-like face was full of vicissitudes of life, and he stared at the dim mining lamp in a daze.

"Little Meat Bun, let me tell you a story about my friend.
It is also a crab, named Awei. We are good brothers who grew up on the same reef. Its temper is even worse than mine.

Once, Awei was walking on the beach and was hit by a shrimp.

Ah Wei angrily asked, "Are you blind?"

Then the other person replied with a look of surprise: "How did you know?"

The barrage refreshes the screen:

"Hahahahaha! It's so cold."

"I told you that you'll be fined for using puns!"

"One more and one more!"

The game options popped up again in front of G-chan:

"Option 1: Let it continue talking, and then decide whether to eat it."

"Option 2: Add oil to the pan and start frying."

G-chan happily chose option one.

Masao seemed to be lost in distant memories and continued to narrate:
"Later, Ah Wei was captured by the cook of a tavern in a port and steamed in a pot.

The cook was a novice and had no experience. He would open the pot and poke Wei with his finger every once in a while.

Finally, after poking him several times, Ah Wei suddenly clamped the cook's finger with pliers and sneered:
"Are you familiar with each other? Just stand here and touch me."

G-chan was laughing so hard that he couldn't speak, and the microphone was breaking.

The barrage exploded again:
"Hahahahahaha!"

"Mmmm, this is making me die of laughter."

"Ah Wei is so brave."

The game pops up a prompt for the third time:
"Option 1: Give it another chance to tell a bad joke."

"Option 2: Light a bonfire and start grilling right away."

G-chan immediately chose one.

Masao realized that G-chan would not let him go easily this time. His crab eyes revealed a loneliness that seemed to have seen through the mundane world. He sighed and said sadly:

"Later, Ah Wei was finally steamed and served on the tavern's table.

A family from the city came to eat, and the little girl saw Awei on the plate and suddenly started crying.

The parents hurriedly asked what happened, and the little girl cried, "Poor crab, its parents must be waiting for it to come home."

The parents suddenly felt the forks in their hands become heavy.

Seeing that the little girl was about to suffer from a childhood trauma, the tavern cook came over enthusiastically and pointed at the table and said:
"Don't worry, little darling, their whole family is here."

G-chan was almost out of breath from laughing.

The live broadcast room barrage completely exploded:
"My face mask cracked from laughing, the anchor compensated me for it."

"I just had my wisdom teeth removed, and now the wound is splitting open from laughing. The anchor needs to pay for my medical expenses."

"I burst out laughing, the anchor should compensate me for the bitter tea."

……

After telling three jokes, Masao sighed:

"Ah Wei is dead after all. Please steam me and let me go down to accompany my good brother."

Masao covered his eyes with pliers, pretended to cry, and then stole a glance at the little meat bun through the gap between the pliers.

G-chan chuckled, "Oh, since you made me laugh, I forgive you."

When G-chan chooses to release Masao, the game pops up a prompt:

[Masao the Giant Claw, a water-type Pokémon, has joined your crusade team.]

There is a new [Sprite] button on the main interface of the game. G-chan clicks into the game and the property panel shows:
【Giant Crab】

Race: Crab

Gender: male
Rating: 1
Status: Teammate
Description: An aquatic elf that lives by the sea. It has a pair of huge pincers that can be used as a sickle during farming activities. At the same time, in battle, it is good at using the giant pincers for shearing attacks.

G-chan was both surprised and delighted. He was worried that he didn't have an initial elf to open up the mine, but he didn't expect that Masao was an elf.

Come to think of it, ordinary crabs are not this big, and they are not this ugly.

After a while, the game popped up a prompt again:
[Dear players, your 24-hour trial has expired. If you want to continue supporting this game, you are welcome to purchase a monthly card.]

G-chan flipped through the payment instructions and was shocked.

For the entire game, you only need to pay 15 yuan to buy a monthly card, and you can play it for a month. Other than that, there are no other charges?!

The barrage refreshes the screen:

"My conscience, the expression of my wallet being tortured by a bitch paradise is unbelievable."

"Exactly. This game is way better than Bitch Paradise in terms of fun, effort, and depth of gameplay."

"Each primary power-up gem in Goosebumps costs 30 yuan. I already regret playing that game. It was so boring in the end. I was either beaten by the rich or the hardcore players snatched away my resources. There was no gaming experience at all."

"Will Taoyuan Township Company starve to death? I'm so worried."

"No more talking, brothers, start charging! I'll charge him three monthly cards as a sign of respect."

It was late at night, and G-chan went off the air after recharging her monthly card.

Many viewers still stayed in the live broadcast room and refused to leave, enthusiastically discussing the game content.

On Dilidili Danmu.com, G-chan's various live broadcast clips and secondary creations began to become popular on D station.

There is even a popular video in the ghost video area: "The Life of Crab Wei".

In order to find new program effects, more and more anchors in the gaming area have given up on Gou Niu Paradise and started broadcasting "My Leisurely Island Owner Life".

Late at night on the first day, about 90% of the anchors in the live broadcast area of ​​Station D were broadcasting "Dog Bitch Paradise".

By late the next night, about 30% of the anchors had started live streaming Taoyuan Township's new game.

Moreover, a strange entry appeared on the D station's hot search trend list:

#Should Masao be boiled or grilled?#
The discussion continues to heat up!
It can be seen that many players actually chose to eat this crab.

But according to players' feedback in the comment section, it seems that even if Masao is eaten, the subsequent novice process can still be continued.

However, there will be a crab elf that brings fun permanently missing from your account.

At the end of the second day, Leisurely Island Owner Life made it into the top 100 of the Youyi platform's real-time online MMO rankings.

Website data shows that 5000 people are online at the same time! The cumulative number of registered users is 60000.

……

On the third day, at 8: in the morning, G-chan couldn't wait to get up and start the live broadcast.

After all, she is an old driver in the gaming area, and she has become more and more adept at playing.

After playing for a morning, I unlocked advanced technologies: mineral extractor and ore screener.

The metal smelting technology tree has also been unlocked, allowing her to create more advanced combat equipment.

In addition, she opened a new ranch next to the cabin, raising poultry such as chickens, sheep, and cows. She also made feeding boxes, feed machines, pasture fences, etc.

After having sufficient resources, G-chan started to invest in tailoring and hunting technology points, unlocking leather armor blueprints and herbs and elven potions for exploration.

All of this is in preparation for conquering various wild elves and continuing to explore the deepest part of the mine.

Based on G-chan's many years of gaming experience, Kiki must have something good on her, most likely an item to unlock key technology.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, under the afterglow of the setting sun, G-chan's first Pokémon battle is about to begin.

At this time, the popularity of the live broadcast room has reached a historical high!
In the grass, Masao and the wild grass-type Pokémon, the Ironclad Beetle Pupa, stared at each other with eager eyes.

The game uses dynamic command system for real-time combat.

Players need to constantly adjust combat orders according to the existing dynamic situation and changes in the environment.
