Let you make a game, what the hell is Pokemon?.

Chapter 18: Being Targeted? Part-time Job!
But if you think about it, it seems okay. After all, he was a champion back then. Now that he's older, it makes sense for him to play games and try to find the feeling of being a trainer back then, right?

But why are there so few emotional points given this time?

Ling Feng was very sure that it wasn't a problem with his game content. After all, when Shirona first live-streamed her game, the points she provided were almost 200 points...
But this time, the points provided by Qishu, Shirona, and Professor Oak only added up to 230 points.

Just as Ling Feng was pondering, a system prompt popped up in front of him, answering his doubts:
[Ding! Please note, host, the emotion points gained from the same person in the same game will gradually decrease over time, reaching a minimum of one-quarter of the original value.]

Ling Feng took a look and raised his eyebrows.

This means I have to find a way to let more people play this game.

In other words, we have to promote "Emerald" thoroughly.

Moreover, he has seen from the emotion points earned in the past two days that when the purchasing base is not large enough, the number of emotion points from players who purchase the game is quite small.

The highlight is the "special characters" with identities such as Sirona, Professor Oak, and Qishu.

Therefore, if he wanted to gain a large amount of emotional points, besides promoting the game, he also had to find a way to attract special people with status like them to play "Emerald"...
But obviously, this is not an easy task
At Ling Feng's current level, it would be quite difficult to even contact them, let alone reach them.

After all, not every champion will broadcast live on the platform like Shirona and Qishu.

Also, how did Shirona, Qishu, and even Professor Oak get in touch with his emerald? Ling Feng still has no idea...
It can’t be purely the promotion effect of the New Game Festival, right?
Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Thinking of this, Ling Feng shook his head slightly.

Now that the game’s revenue has increased, I might as well spend some money on promotion.

Pokémon Emerald itself is a phenomenal game, and its quality will get higher and higher as its model is upgraded. As long as it does a little promotion, it will become extremely popular sooner or later.

Of course, what is more important is to win the championship of the New Game Festival!
The official traffic promotion position of the alliance cannot be bought with money!

Just as Ling Feng was thinking about how to do it, he suddenly felt a chill beside him and a cold wind blew past.

He turned around and saw that it was the Candlelight Spirit who had been sleeping for a long time and had finally woken up!
“Sufu!!”

As soon as she woke up, Zhuguangling jumped directly to Lingfeng's side with a pitiful expression.

"You must be hungry. Here, this is for you."

Ling Feng was prepared. He smiled slightly, took out a can of Pokémon food from the drawer and handed it over.

In this world, although the entertainment industry is not well developed, the number of Internet users is not small at all.

"Pokémon: Emerald" has been released for three days, and video clips of Sirona and Qishu's live broadcast of the game, as well as news about the game, have gradually begun to appear on the Internet.

On the largest short video platform on the Internet, a website called "Magneto Station", the popularity of several videos has quietly begun to soar and has been listed on the rankings.

A newly released pixel game sold for a whopping 288! It's incredibly difficult, yet it has a 100% positive review rate?

[The biggest dark horse of the New Game Festival? It's already topped the charts in just two days, and is poised to surpass DreamWorks!]

[Sinnoh Champion Sirona and Padia Gym Leader Qishu play "Emerald" and break the red temperature defense in the whole process, all in one collection! ]

[Shocked! Sirona successfully became the first to pass the "Emerald" super difficult gym leader battle. Do you understand the power of bonds?]

[Looking for someone: Excuse me, who is this Du Juan? Why is he so powerful?]

As these videos became increasingly popular, "Pokemon: Emerald" also gradually began to enter the sight of many netizens.

But at the same time, it naturally attracted the attention of some people
At this moment, in the Sinnoh region.

Zhuqing City, on the top floor of a building.

A young man in a brown suit and sunglasses hurriedly pushed open the door of the room.

He held a tablet in his hands and rushed to the desk, panting:

"Boss! Something happened!"

Sitting behind the desk was a middle-aged man in casual clothes with a middle-parted hairstyle. He had a calm look in his eyes, but he inadvertently exuded a sense of oppression.

Anyone who knows the business can see that this is a temperament that is naturally formed after fighting countless times in business wars.

This person is Cui Yu, the boss of DreamWorks, the largest and most powerful gaming company in the world!
At this moment, Cui Yu raised his head, looked at the other party, and said coldly:
"How many times have I told you? Knock before you come in."

"Tell me, what's the matter that makes you so panicked?"

The man in the suit wiped the sweat from his forehead, quickly handed the tablet forward, and explained quickly:

"Boss, three days ago, a game called 'Pokemon Emerald' was suddenly added to the New Game Festival."

"In the past three days, he has jumped from over 1000th on the popularity list to number 20, and his popularity is still increasing!"

"Emerald?"

Cui Yu chewed on these three words, then lowered his head to check the content on the tablet. It was the live broadcast recording of Sirona's first visit.

After a moment, he raised his head, his eyes showing a hint of seriousness.

In just a few minutes, he understood the general content and gameplay of the game.

What attracted him most in the video was that although it was a turn-based game, the city and road scenes were so detailed.
this picture
As the boss of a game company, although he usually does not participate in the production, he understands that this level of technology is definitely not simple.

Even with their company's mastery of pixel gaming technology, there is no way to restore it.

"Have you found out who made the game?"

he asked coldly.

"Boss, I checked it right away. The information said it was made by an individual, but I don't think that's possible. It's probably a company using their name."

"I guess it could be Pogaman, or maybe Gray Trace?"

Cui Yu put down the tablet, took out a cigar and lit it.

"No matter who they are, they are not enough to pose a threat to our Dream Factory."

"It doesn't matter who it is. What matters is that we can't watch him continue like this."

He puffed out smoke rings:

"Go and inform the development department that there will be an emergency meeting at 8 o'clock tonight."

"Those on holiday must also return. Those who are short of time must attend online meetings. No one is allowed to be absent."

The man in the suit was startled and asked carefully:

"Boss, what do you mean?"

Cui Yu glanced at him.

"Imitate, just like we did before."

"The development cost of pixel games is so low, and with our technology, we can always make better ones."

"We'll bring their combat methods and content over, change the region, add some game plots, speed up updates, and lower the difficulty level to make the game more enjoyable for players."

"Their idea is good, but setting the difficulty level so high and the price so high is simply courting death."

"Also, in a while, our new products will be on display at the New Travel Festival."

"By then, with two sides attacking at the same time, on one side there are competitors with higher quality and lower prices than his, and on the other side there is the traffic grabbing from the New Game Festival. What kind of waves can he make?"

The man in the suit smiled and gave a thumbs up.

"Boss, you're brilliant! You're worthy of me. I'll go down and inform them right away!"

He held the tablet and left the office.

Cui Yu stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked down at the entire city from a high vantage point, with pride flashing in his eyes, and snorted coldly.

"Hmph, Emerald?" "No one, no matter who they are, can shake DreamWorks' position in the gaming industry."

"I won't allow it even a little bit!"

Meanwhile, in Viridian City.

Ling Feng didn't know that his game had been targeted by DreamWorks.

He was looking at the Candlelight Spirit in front of him, who was devouring the can of Pokémon food with a kind smile like an aunt.

I wonder who came up with Pokémon?

This is too cute!
As expected, I don’t need to be a trainer at all. As long as I can live with one or two Pokémon, I will be very happy.

"Eat slowly, there's more after you finish."

As Ling Feng spoke, he opened the drawer, revealing dozens of jars of Pokémon food stacked inside, which he showed to Candlelight Spirit.

"Muff—"

When Zhu Guangling saw it, her eyes lit up and she ate even harder.

"You eat so much and sleep so much, how long were you hungry and sleepy before you saw me?"

When Ling Feng saw his expression, he couldn't help but sigh.

As he spoke, he suddenly thought of a question.

By the way, where did the Candlelight Spirit come from?
Even though he was in the suburbs of Viridian City, it was still within the jurisdiction of a large city, and there were a lot of people moving around nearby. It was logically impossible for ghost-type Pokémon to appear here...
Ghost-type Pokémon usually live in remote wilderness or in long-abandoned buildings. Once a wild Ghost-type Pokémon appears in a city, it will immediately cause a commotion and attract law enforcement officers to capture and expel it.
If you want to figure out this problem, based on the current situation, the best way is to ask Candlelight Spirit directly.

After all, I have a module that can translate the Pokémon language, so why not use it?

With this thought in mind, Ling Feng patted Zhu Guangling's body and asked his own question.

"Um, can you tell me how you got to my room?"

In response to Ling Feng's question, Zhu Guangling stopped eating, and a confused look of reminiscence appeared on his face.

"Chamo..Cha."

He began to explain.

After a while, after listening to Zhu Guangling's story, Ling Feng had figured out the whole story.

"So what you're saying is... you were living in a special space before, and then you ended up in my room for no apparent reason?"

Candlelight nodded.

"Motofuku!"

Now Ling Feng felt a little strange.

Why does it sound like this guy also came from another time?
"Then what do you remember about that space you mentioned?"

he asked again.

Zhu Guangling thought about it and immediately gave an answer.

"The end of the summer..."

There are so many scary guys there.

【The sky is completely different from here.】

[..I don't like it there...it's so dark, so hungry...so scary...]

After hearing this, Ling Feng fell into deep thought.

In his memory of the original work, there seemed to be no such space as the one mentioned by the Candlelight Spirit.

The only thing that somewhat fits this description might be the Ultimate Space.

But the Ultra Dimension is full of terrifying Ultra Beasts, and ordinary Pokémon cannot enter at all.

There's no reason for a candlelight spirit to appear in a place like that.

After thinking for a moment, he reached out and touched Zhu Guangling's head, smiling and said:
"It's okay. Since you don't like it, just follow me from now on."

"Brother Feng will take you to the pinnacle of your life, how about that?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Guangling nodded blankly.

"Motofuku!"

Although I don't quite understand what Ling Feng is saying..
But, as long as there is food, it’s fine!

After comforting the Candlelight Spirit, Ling Feng opened the system panel and checked his current emotional point balance.

Ever since Shirona and Qishu live-streamed the game for two days, the emotion points have been slowly increasing over time.

Up to this moment, including the 230 points provided by the three people, the current point balance is a total of 620 points.

Since the points reached single digits after the last module purchase, Ling Feng could also clearly calculate the points provided by the players who purchased the game during this period, which should be around 400 points.

Considering the number of people who actually purchased the game, Ling Feng felt that the points gained were actually quite small.

Not to mention that the points provided by these players can be said to be "one-time", and the points given by the same player will become less and less over time.

Ling Feng couldn't help but feel a headache.

Any intermediate module you choose to purchase will cost you at least 2,000 points.

At this rate of gaining points, how long will it take me to buy all the intermediate modules I want?

No, we have to think of a way. We can't just sit here and wait.

Ling Feng fell into deep thought.

But at this moment, a prompt appeared in front of Ling Feng's eyes.

【Ding! 】

[Detected that the host has a strong need for emotional points! ]

【The "Task" function has been unlocked! 】

[Ding! The host has received the side quest: "Part-time Activity"! ]

【Mission Difficulty: C】

[Task Requirements: Register as a live streamer on any platform, and the peak number of viewers in the live stream room reaches 1000]

[Mission Reward: Random Special Low-Level Module x1, 200 Emotion Points]

[Task Note: If you don't like playing games, I also know a little bit about the show effects! ]

Looking at the prompt in front of him, Ling Feng was stunned.

Yup!

According to the system...
Not only can you earn points when your own games cause people to have emotional changes,
It is possible for him to do this himself!
Starting a live broadcast yourself is undoubtedly the best way to influence other people's emotions.

So...what about the content of the live broadcast?

Ling Feng glanced at the icons on the desktop, then looked at the words "Program Effect" in the task notes, and suddenly came up with a bold idea.
The next moment, an evil laugh echoed in the room.

Candlelight Spirit who is eating:

Σ(°△°|||)
This kind of laughter??
Am I...back to that damn place again?
Tonic QAQ! ! ! !
