Becoming the richest man by playing games that help cure depression

Upon hearing this, Liu He and Lu Bian were both stunned, their playful smiles instantly vanishing: "Studio?"

"Yes, a game studio," Li Zhujian nodded, his tone sincere. "This is my initial idea. Let's just say whatever we're thinking."

If you're willing to work together, let's do it well; if you're not, or if you have other plans at home, don't be shy, we're still brothers.

After Li Zhujian became famous for swinging the sledgehammer, he realized that he couldn't keep doing it all by himself.

The game is small enough for now, but we need to scale it up in the future—undead who link the fire, wolves who lose if they hesitate, and Daryl, the delivery guy.

One good idea after another popped into his head; the sheer volume of work was something he couldn't handle alone.

Instead of finding outsiders to work things out later, it's better to work with the guys in the dorm who we know well now.

My brothers are all reliable people who won't betray us, and stability is the most important thing for a team.

Looking into Li Zhujian's sincere eyes, Liu He and Lu Bian felt a lump in their throats.

Four hundred thousand is no small sum, but Li Zhujian was willing to take it out and share it with his brothers, just to fulfill everyone's gaming dream.

This friendship is more precious than money.

"I'll join." Lu Bian pondered for a few seconds, then solemnly extended his hand.

"Count me in!" Liu He immediately put his hand on it.

Li Zhujian smiled and extended his hand. The three of them clasped hands tightly and then looked at Zhang Zhiyuan together.

"Old Zhang, what about you?"

Zhang Zhiyuan chuckled and proudly raised his chin: "Why do you think I called this meeting?"

Ten minutes ago in the cafeteria, I reached an agreement with Hashirama. Now I'm his most trusted lieutenant, so you'll all have to flatter me from now on!

As he spoke, he shook his head and swayed his body, his smugness making it seem as if he wanted to have the words "I'm the best" etched on his face.

Lu Bian frowned and whispered in Liu He's ear, "Second brother, do you want to hit him?"

"I miss it, I miss it so much."

"Then what are we waiting for?"

"Hey, hey, hey, don't fight! We need a peaceful discussion, not a physical one! Help!"

Seeing the three of them fighting, Li Zhujian laughed loudly, slamming his fist on the table and shouting, "Stop fighting! Stop fighting! If you keep fighting, the studio will fall apart before it even opens!"

After they had had their fun, the four of them sat back down and unanimously agreed that the studio they formed would be called Platinum Studio.

At that time, none of them expected...

This small studio, comprised of a group of tinkering enthusiasts, a sarcastic commentator, a heavy drinker, and a rich kid, will one day be renowned worldwide.

Becoming a world-class game studio will create a new era for "Platinum Games".

Let's get right to it, no hesitation! These four guys, when they're together, are all incredibly unreliable.

He can be witty and unserious, but when it comes to getting things done, he's incredibly efficient and never holds anyone back.

Early in the morning, Li Zhujian slammed a poster onto the dormitory table with a bang.

He called out to his three brothers in a loud voice, "The college just spearheaded a game expo, jointly organized by Zhongjing and Shenzhou universities. It's quite a large-scale event."

"A game expo?" The three of them looked up in unison, their faces full of confusion, and uttered the same question.

Li Zhujian pulled up a chair, sat down, took a sip of cool water, and pushed the poster in front of the three of them: "I saw this when I went for my morning run this morning, and I tore one off and brought it back with me."

"He originally wanted to use his morning run to think about ideas for a new rhythm game, but he didn't expect to stumble upon this event poster. It was like a godsend."

"Wait a minute? Morning run? You?" Old Zhang reached out to stop him, squinting as he looked him up and down, his eyes filled with disbelief.

They looked at him like he was a monster. "You usually skip even required classes, and you're actually getting up for a morning run? Did the sun rise in the west?"

Li Zhujian's heart skipped a beat, and he knew something was wrong.

He goes for morning runs purely to improve his physical fitness, so he won't die from playing games all night every day. That's such a low-class reason.

Just as he was about to be exposed, Lu Bian chuckled and patted Lao Zhang on the shoulder, winking at him: "Hey Lao Zhang, your eyesight is terrible!"

"Our Hashirama is now a fairly successful small business owner, don't you know what it means to meet your white moonlight while jogging in the morning? Have you forgotten about Shen Yunshi, the art department's campus belle, who goes jogging every morning?"

Binhai University has two undisputed campus beauties, with Meng Meichen exuding a powerful aura and considered the top campus beauty.

Shen Yunshi is a fair-skinned, beautiful, and talented art student. Her long legs attract countless eyes, making her the dream girl of all the boys in the school.

"Tsk tsk tsk, as expected, men with a little money start to get scheming. The world is going to the dogs."

Liu He crossed his arms, feigning a heartbroken and resentful expression, and glanced at Li Zhujian with a mocking look.

Li Zhujian was startled by their gaze and immediately lost his composure: Good heavens, these three roommates are all masters of sarcastic and unsettling remarks!

"I really just went to see the poster! Don't make things up!" He slammed his fist on the table in frustration, his face turning red.

But what truly maddened him was something else entirely: he had suffered a huge loss!

I didn't even notice the school beauty was also jogging in the morning. I missed the chance to see her up close. What a waste!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, wishing he could beat his chest and stamp his feet, his face full of frustration.

"Okay, okay, I know, I believe you." "Get to the point, don't bring up other things."

The guys didn't believe his explanation at all, waved their hands to forcefully bring the topic back, and leaned in to examine the poster closely.

This event is indeed significant: Binhai College spearheaded a joint university student game expo with three other universities, allowing students to submit games for review.

Once approved, it can be demonstrated at the exhibition and opened to the public. If it catches the eye of a game company, it can directly negotiate cooperation and obtain promotional resources.

They can even get into big companies without taking an exam; after the exhibition, they will also award first, second and third prizes based on sales, and the best game will receive a 200,000 yuan game support fund.

For these students studying game development, this was an incredible opportunity that seemed like a windfall.

"Wow, this event is amazing!" Lu Bian's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed on the spot.

Liu He clicked his tongue, his face full of regret: "What a pity. If 'Swinging the Hammer' had been released a little later, wouldn't we have easily gotten those 200,000?"

"You should know that Li Zhujian's 'Swinging the Hammer' is a blockbuster game that topped the Smart Game New Game Chart, making countless streamers and players cry. If it were to be submitted for evaluation, it would be the number one seller without any doubt."

While the three were still lamenting the loss of 200,000, Li Zhujian waved his hand dismissively and smiled confidently: "What's the rush? Just make another one."

"He never intended to make a living off a single game for the rest of his life, so how could he possibly let go of this money-making opportunity that's been handed to him?"

"Perfect timing! Let's make our studio's second project a resounding success at this expo!"

Upon hearing this, the guys instantly perked up and moved even closer: "What brilliant idea have you come up with this time?" "Tell us quickly, just let us know how you need our help!"

Li Zhujian raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said confidently, "This time, we're doing a rhythm game."
