Honkai Impact 3rd: Join Anti-Entropy at the start and dominate the entertainment industry.

Bai Qianqu took the business card and was immediately surprised by its feel!

This weighty feel... could it be made of real gold?

Holy crap? No wonder she's a top-tier rich woman! She's so generous!

But Bai Qianqu didn't know that this business card had another meaning besides its contact information.

It represents Eden's approval! And it is also the key to the gate of the Golden Garden!

With it, you are qualified to stay at the Golden Courtyard!

P.S.: Here's a group number (just between us): 666406616

Chapter 94 The Era of 3D Games

Seeing that Bai Qianqu had accepted the business card, Eden said with satisfaction, "Alright, we should go back now. Ellie will catch a cold if she keeps going like this."

Bai Qianqu glanced at the dazed Ai Li and couldn't help but smile. Ai Li was indeed quite cute when she calmed down.

He glanced at the piano and, seeing that no one was playing it, whispered to Eden, "Teacher Eden, may I play one last soothing piece?"

Eden looked interested: "Is it a new piece?"

Seeing Bai Qianqu nod, she became even more interested.

"I didn't expect you to have a new piece of music. Go ahead."

Bai Qianqu walked to the piano and sat down. This was his third time playing, and he was already very familiar with it.

Eden glanced at Ellie, who was lying on the table, smiled and shook his head, draped his coat over her shoulders, and then looked at Bai Qianqu with some anticipation.

This little guy really likes to surprise himself.

Under Eden's gaze, Bai Qianqu's hands began to slowly fall.

He customized a very gentle piano piece with the system, called "Beauty Under the Night Sky." It was a hypnotic piano piece, which Bai Qianqu suddenly thought of after seeing Ai Li.

Eden had just taught him so much, so he should at least show his appreciation, and for Eden, music was naturally the best gift.

Soon, lively musical notes filled the coffee shop as Bai Qianqu's hands danced nimbly across the piano keys, each movement so fluid and pleasing to the eye.

The entire café was filled with melodious music. Eden squinted her eyes, as if she could see countless stars twinkling around her, which made her feel deeply intoxicated.

Ellie lay on the table, her breathing becoming more relaxed, a faint smile appearing on her lips, as if she were dreaming of something happy.

After parting ways with Eden and the others, Bai Qianqu returned home, took a shower, and looked at her latest mission reward: a super ten-draw lottery.

According to the system, these ten attempts are guaranteed to yield gold, so he was really looking forward to it.

The last game to be released was Angry Birds, which is still on the Steam platform's new game chart. Although it's no longer number one, it still occupies a place in the top five.

Bai Qianqu could even hear many of her colleagues discussing this game on Anti-Entropy, which shows how popular it was.

Thinking of this, Bai Qianqu got up, turned on her computer, and logged into her Steam account. She was shocked by what she saw.

The number of Angry Birds purchases has reached a staggering 1.5 million!

At 6 yuan per game, that means they sold a whopping 9 million in just over a month!

This achievement is nothing short of a miracle in the gaming industry! Keep in mind, this is an independent, pay-to-play game!

Paid games, because they require money, naturally have fewer downloads than free games, which is why their rankings have dropped.

But when it comes to earning money, Angry Birds is absolutely top-notch.

However, a piece of news on the Steam platform's homepage caught Bai Qianqu's attention.

#Breaking News! Tencent has announced the upcoming release of its latest 3D first-person shooter game, *Counter-Strike Online*! A new era is dawning!#

Upon seeing this message, Bai Qianqu was stunned for a moment.

3D shooting game? Counter-Strike?

Is this finally a sign that they're going to heavily invest in developing 3D games?

There were 3D games before, but they were all made by small companies and the quality wasn't very good, so there weren't many players.

As a large company in the gaming industry, Tencent's sudden and solemn launch of such a large-scale 3D game carries many implications.

The comments section below this post clearly shows that players are very much looking forward to this brand new 3D game.

[A brand new 3D game from Tencent? I'd heard rumors about it before, but I never expected they'd actually make one!]

[A shooting game? The last shooting game I played was Houmu Sniper, the one where you moved the mouse to shoot Houmu.]

That was actually pretty fun, but there weren't enough levels; it got boring after a while.

That game is essentially a 2D game; the character can only move left and right, similar to most shooting games on the market, except it uses the Houmu IP.

I have a feeling that the era of 3D games is about to arrive!

Looking forward to Tencent's new game!

"The era of 3D games?" Bai Qianqu muttered to herself, a smile creeping onto her face.

It seems that the development of games is indeed consistent; 2D games will eventually evolve into 3D games. Although the game industry started relatively late, electronic devices are actually quite advanced. Otherwise, Tencent wouldn't have released a 3D game so quickly.

Bai Qianqu was also looking forward to it, wondering what the quality of this shooting game from Tencent would be. In his opinion, even if it wasn't a AAA title, it should at least be a high-quality 3D game.

The news reports that the game will be released in December, which is just over a month before the Chinese New Year.

It seems that Tencent wants to take advantage of the Chinese New Year holiday to make this game soar to new heights.

After closing the news feed, Bai Qianqu logged into his game developer interface. He wanted to withdraw all the money he made from selling games last month, since money only truly belonged to him once it was in his hands.

Steam platform is quite friendly to game developers and didn't cause any trouble, so Bai Qianqu quickly transferred the money to her bank card following the procedure.

After deducting 10% of the platform's revenue and taxes, he received a total of 648 million yuan.

Looking at this number, Bai Qianqu fell into deep thought. It clearly felt like a lot, but why did it also feel like it wasn't that much?

He shook his head, banishing this absurd feeling from his mind.

With this money, plus the song revenue share he hasn't received yet in October, his assets have already exceeded ten million!

In that case, he can definitely repair his voice!

However, the thought of spending tens of millions made him feel very distressed, and his voice didn't seem to be that important. After all, he was a composer, and it wouldn't be a problem if he didn't sing.

Bai Qianqu's consistent consumption philosophy is to avoid spending on things that are not essential. Of course, this doesn't apply to things that are just hobbies, such as sending gifts to favorite authors (just kidding).

Bai Qianqu shut down the Steam platform and logged into his World Snake Library author platform to see how his book was doing recently.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

This book has only been on the market for a week, yet it already has 500,000 readers, and the number is still growing.

Memorize Chapter 95 in its entirety

The novel's comment section was bustling with activity. The novel had already reached 200,000 words and its world-building was largely complete, making it the most captivating time for readers.

[Brothers! The "Baozi Invasion" is so much fun! I'm not even going to lean on the wall to support myself, I admire him the most for his awesomeness!]

[This casual player is too strong! Before the class change, they were practically invincible! They can do everything, how are we supposed to fight them? Is this the legendary ability to carry, support, and tank?]

[Only a master like Ye Qiu can handle it! If it were anyone else, they wouldn't be able to press all those buttons!]

Su Mucheng is so beautiful and cool! She perfectly embodies my image of a gaming goddess!

Wake up, your gaming goddess is Miss Pufferfish.

Why did you have to shatter my beautiful dream?

I think Chen Guo, the internet cafe owner, is a really good person. He's all bark and no bite; he not only took Ye Qiu in but also gave him a place to stay.

Destroy Excellent Era! Glory forever!

[Ye Qiu's subtle boasting is the most deadly! He previously said that if his hands hadn't been frozen, he could have defeated Chen Guo's opponent, who had beaten her 52-game opponent, in 30 seconds.]

[Hahaha, I wonder how traumatized Chen Guo is!]

I clicked in out of curiosity, but I couldn't get out; this book is really good!

[Great! Author, please update quickly!]

[It'll probably be next month. These books are all 200,000 words long, so they'll probably be released as physical copies.]

Seeing the harmonious discussion in the comments section, Bai Qianqu smiled and thought, "I hope you guys will still be this harmonious when the teams are formed in the future."

He glanced at the new book rankings again. "The King's Avatar" was currently ranked eighth, but Bai Qianqu wasn't worried. As long as it held steady, it would definitely make it into the top three.

After shutting down the computer, Bai Qianqu lay back down on the bed, opened the system panel, and rewarded herself with ten Super Lottery draws!

This year, the Lunar New Year falls in February, so there are still three months to go. The songs for next month's new singer competition have already been decided, so he doesn't have anything urgent to do.

At this point, trying one's luck with a lottery is a good option, especially since he's also very interested in the system's claim that the super lottery guarantees a gold prize.

As for the ten regular lottery draws he still had, he decided to save them for later.

Looking at the rapidly spinning lottery interface in front of her, Bai Qianqu felt a sense of anticipation.

What will be released this time?

[We're drawing a prize for you!]

As the lottery interface ended, ten orbs of light reappeared before Bai Qianqu's eyes. This time, two of the orbs of light were shimmering with golden light, and there were also two purple orbs of light at the same time!

Bai Qianqu almost burst out laughing like a pig. He wanted to shout right now—who else?!

Congratulations! You've won the gold prize: the game Plants vs. Zombies!

Congratulations! You've won the gold prize game, Titanfall 2!

Congratulations! You've won the purple prize – the song "My Sky"!

Congratulations! You have won the purple prize: the short story "The Wolf"!

Bai Qianqu was completely bewildered. Both of the gold prizes were actually games?!

Plants vs. Zombies needs no introduction; everyone knows it. Released in 2009, it has been over a decade since then, yet it remains incredibly popular, with players coming one after another. There have even been numerous modified versions of the game, demonstrating just how high the players' enthusiasm is.

Titanfall 2 – Bai Qianqu doesn't know how to describe this game. Since its release on PC on October 28, 2016, it has become a highly acclaimed AAA title. Its two sentences, "Protocol III, protect the Pilot" and "Trust me!", have brought tears to the eyes of countless players.

As an FPS game released in 2016, Titanfall 2 felt like it was born at the wrong time. Before it, there was Battlefield 1, and after it, there was Call of Duty 13.

Caught between two top-tier FPS games, Titanfall 2 did not fare well that year, with some even mocking it as its year of decline.

However, in the following years, Titanfall 2 not only received high praise in the gaming industry, but was also regarded as a masterpiece by players, and even had a 94% positive review rate on a certain financial platform.
