You promised it would be a free game, but now your screen is full of in-app purchase prompts?

Bao Ge doesn't care how much money Fengyun Games has made in the past few months.

No matter how much money he earns, it's not his; it's just that some people like to discuss these issues over tea, and he sometimes talks about them with his followers.

Fengyun did not disclose its financial reports, since it is not a listed company and there is no need for it.

However, based on monthly active player data from multiple websites such as the popular game rankings, the number of big spenders in Plants vs. Zombies, and several in-game leaderboards, netizens were able to deduce approximate figures.

In the game Plants vs. Zombies, there are currently hundreds of players who have spent over one million yuan on in-game purchases.

This group of wealthy, big-spending players alone has contributed hundreds of millions of yuan to Fengyun.

In the first two months, Fengyun earned at least five or six hundred million.

Even now, Plants vs. Zombies still generates over 50 million in profit every month.

If the operation continues stably and this pace is maintained, Fengyun can definitely earn at least 15 billion or even 20 billion yuan from this game within two years.

Therefore, in Bao Ge's opinion, there is really no need for President Chen to start a new project now.

If it fails, it will damage the reputation of the old game, which would be a loss.

This will also cause many people who are optimistic about Fengyun Games to re-evaluate the company.

Of course, this is not important to Chen Feng.

After all, he had never considered accepting investment from others, or going public.

Even if someone wanted to invest, he wouldn't want it!

With all those games in his head, his success was only a matter of time. What mattered most to him was maintaining a firm grip on the company's power.

Don't let the company grow and you be sidelined; then you'll be in for a mess...

……

"Let me see!!!"

Upon learning this news, Bao Ge did not hesitate at all and immediately quit the Endless Mode game.

They didn't care at all that they had already reached wave 80 or so, and that quitting would have been a waste of time.

After all, he's already stuck on wave 100 and can't get past the rest. This round was just for testing, so there's not much point in continuing.

Then Bao Ge quickly took off the AR helmet from his head.

I switched out of the game window and opened the browser with practiced ease.

It's clear that Brother Bao is a die-hard fan of Plants vs. Zombies.

Because in Bao Ge's browser, the Plants vs. Zombies official website is the first saved webpage in his bookmarks.

As for the second one?

That's the official website of Fengyun Games.

This allowed Bao Ge to quickly access Fengyun's official website.

As expected, although his fans sometimes like to make silly jokes, this time they really weren't fooling him.

After entering the Fengyun Games official website, the largest window on the homepage, in the most prominent position, displays a poster of the new game, and below the poster is a new official website URL.

"Dungeon Fighter Online?"

"What kind of game is this?"

"But why is it still in 2D style? It seems like Fengyun really likes this cartoon style."

"In the past, we could say that Plants vs. Zombies was made hastily because Fengyun didn't have enough funds."

"But now that Mr. Chen has money, why is he still doing this kind of thing?"

"Could it be that Mr. Chen actually likes this kind of childlike art style?"

Bao Ge shook his head, feeling completely bewildered. President Chen was still too mysterious; he couldn't see through him at all...

The most prominent spot on the official website right now is the promotional poster for Dungeon Fighter Online (DNF).

The poster is very simple, featuring five 2D cartoon characters.

A madman with reddened arms wrapped in chains, eyes that looked like he had conjunctivitis, and carrying a large machete.

Next to her was a woman with incredibly defined muscles and a very voluptuous figure.

Her posture clearly indicates that she is a skilled martial artist, and the fact that she carries no weapons further confirms this.

Behind the two was a tall, aloof, handsome man wearing a cowboy hat and holding a revolver in each hand.

Then, at a slightly lower position, there was a short little girl wearing a Lolita dress.

This little girl is very cute, and she's holding a broom in her hand, as if she's the one in this group who's specifically responsible for cleaning.

Finally, there's the one who leaves the group and stands alone to the side.

A burly middle-aged man was holding a book whose contents were illegible, and carrying a huge cross on his back.

Judging from his attire, it's easy to tell that he is a religious practitioner.

After carefully observing the surroundings, Bao Ge, drawing on his years of experience as a gamer, easily figured out the trick:

"Brothers, if I'm not mistaken, these five people should be five characters from Dungeon Fighter Online."

"When the game comes out, we should choose one of these five characters to experience."

"Then they each possessed their own abilities."

"For example, the one with the greatsword and the woman who's boxing should be the melee core members."

"And the one with the gun is a ranged damage dealer."

"As for the one carrying the cross, I guess he's a support character, providing buffs and healing to the team."

"As for the one with the broom..."

"Um……"

"She must be a cleaner!"

"Hahahaha! Just kidding."

At this point, Bao Ge laughed at himself, but quickly put on a serious expression again:

"The one with the broom should also be a support character, since she doesn't seem to have the characteristics of a damage dealer."

Actually, Bao Ge doesn't need to explain this; many viewers can see it themselves.

Although this poster reveals very little, the characteristics of each character are very clear.

You can easily tell the difference between damage dealers and support characters.

Are there role-playing games with a wide variety of characters to choose from? That would be interesting!

[Fengyun Games is really going all out this time! This kind of multi-role-playing game definitely needs a large map and a complete storyline.]

[Leaving aside the game development, just constructing this setting and crafting a complete storyline requires a huge investment of time and money.]

Developing a storyline for a game like this is no less demanding than writing a full-length novel!

Holy crap! This looks like a really big production.

Now I understand why Mr. Chen is going to make this cartoonish art style again. If you want to make this game with AAA-level graphics, it probably wouldn't be possible without spending at least a billion yuan! Even with this level of graphics, it would probably cost at least a hundred million yuan to make!

[One hundred million? If he can make a game like this for one hundred million, I'll call him daddy!]

[Brother Bao, hurry up and go to the official website, there's a promotional video there! It looks kind of interesting!]

I've already seen it, and it's really awesome! The storyline is fantastic!

……

After seeing the reminders from the viewers in the live stream, Bao Ge realized what was happening.

I clicked the URL at the bottom of the poster and was quickly taken to the official website of Dungeon & Fighter.

The first thing that catches the eye is the promotional video that the viewers have been talking about.

Bao Ge clicked play again, then switched to full screen, turned the volume up to the maximum, and then took his hands off the keyboard to begin experiencing the promotional video in an immersive way.

Next, a melodious and gentle voice entered the ears of Brother Bao and the more than 80,000 fans in the live broadcast room:

"In the year 977 of the Arad calendar, a mysterious and powerful figure named Sirocco suddenly appeared in the Howling Cave."

"The appearance of Sirocco brought about earth-shattering changes to the entire continent."

"Originally docile animals and ordinary plants have all mutated and become ferocious."

"Animal and plant creatures, as well as various monsters, are attacking humans all over the continent."

"Finally, in the year 981 of the Arad calendar, the Empire launched a campaign against Sirocco."

"With the Empire's invitation, four renowned sword masters on the continent—Agamemnon, Barn, Buwanga, and Xilan—along with a host of other powerful figures, responded and joined the campaign to defeat Sirocco."

"Although the army that was sent to subdue the enemy was incredibly powerful, everyone ultimately underestimated Sirocco's strength."

"Before even seeing Sirocco, the expeditionary force has already suffered more than half its losses..."

The narration abruptly stopped here.

After the screen went black, the image reappeared on the screen.

In the scene, the four sword masters, Agamemnon, Xilan, Barn, and Buwanga, are already seriously injured and lying on the ground, unable to fight any longer.

As for Sirocco on the other side, although he was injured, he was still in good condition.

"Agamemnon! My love! Live on..."

Just then, the camera suddenly focused on a woman.

Amidst the bewildered and confused expressions of all the viewers in the live stream.

This woman, with her long ears and elven-like appearance, suddenly broke some kind of seal.

The next second, a burst of bright red blood energy shot out from the woman's body, and then her entire body began to be enveloped in blood energy, her eyes turning completely blood red...

"Lukeshi! No!!!"
