The game is only half finished, and the entire internet is begging for an update!
Chapter 43 That was probably... love?
? ? ? ? ?
[Holy crap! This scene looks familiar; I feel like I just saw this scene before!]
A different ending, yet, it seems like the same ending nonetheless!
The paths of humans and gods differ, yet they lead to the same destination!
Fang Yan sat in front of his computer, watching this familiar scene in Chi Cheng's live stream, and burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha! Old Chi, Old Chi! I thought you had some kind of destined protagonist script, but after all this time, you only watched three seconds more of CG animation than me!"
Chi Cheng, on the other hand, finally recovered from the huge shock and astonishment.
His hunch was right!
The decisive battle is to slay the dragon; let's see how it ends!
"This...this is it?"
At this moment, the viewers in both live streams fell silent.
Aren't they the same?
That's definitely different.
On Fang Yan's side, forty-nine ancestors appeared together, severing the true dragon with a final strike, and the world was free of dragons from then on.
Chi Cheng diligently practiced the "Dragon Slaying Technique" and defeated a real dragon on his own. In the end, he discovered that the "Dragon Slaying Technique" was only the first volume, and there were still "Dragon Transformation" and "Dragon Taming" to follow.
One is that the dragon is gone.
One saw an even bigger dragon.
But the problem is...
Why are they starting to roll out the production team list?!
The live chat exploded with comments.
[Teacher Fang: My world is devoid of dragons.]
[Chi Cheng: My world has become bigger.]
[Result: It's all over.]
To be honest, Chaoxi Games really does have a knack for pulling the chair away just as someone is about to stand up.
[ChaoXi Games: You two, stop arguing. Everyone on the production team list has a copy.]
[Day and Night Games: This is what you call achieving the same goal through different means.]
Is this still considered a double ending? It's more like double the heartbreak!
[But this is already quite complete! Any more expectations would only lead to DLC. Aren't you asking for too much?!]
Fang Yan laughed so hard his shoulders were shaking.
He had just felt miserable, as if his forty-nine ancestors had just finished warming up, when the game popped up the production team list for him.
Seeing that Chi Cheng was also stuck here, he suddenly felt a sense of balance.
"That feels good."
"I admit, I had a moment of darkness in my mind just now."
"But when Lao Chi was also placed at the top of the production team list by Chaoxi Games, I immediately felt relieved."
"That's life, isn't it? I just want a Porsche, but I don't want friends who own one!"
Chi Cheng's lips twitched as he listened.
He glanced at the list of special thanks, and surprisingly, his name was on it.
At this moment, he felt increasingly mocked.
He wanted it, and he got it!
But the scene was indeed quite comical.
At this moment, the comments in both live streams became one.
You think the official response was perfunctory? They absolutely weren't!
They even created two completely different storylines just for you!
If you choose the shortcut, you'll be met with a tragic fate of being shattered by a blade and destroyed by a dragon!
If you choose the hardcore approach, you'll get an epic opening chapter where your bloodline awakens and your sword points overseas.
Two ways to play, two choices, what more do you want?
In the live stream, some viewers had already started writing announcements for Chaoxi Games in advance.
Dear player, there are two complete experience routes in "I've Seen Dragons".
One path is the path of divine intervention; the other is the path of arduous practice.
The spirit-revealing route allows players to experience the passion and desolation of their ancestors' legacy.
[The rigorous training path allows players to discover a wider world beyond dragon slaying.]
[As for why they didn't do it later?]
[Because it's only thirty-eight yuan, that's all the emotional value I can offer! Any more would be impolite!]
At this moment, the players seemed to have all matured.
……
A few days later
Chaoxi Games Studio.
The atmosphere in the office has been anything but quiet since morning.
Ma Shangfei held his iced tea, his eyes fixed on the backend data, unable to suppress the smirk on his face.
"President Jiang! It's gone up! It's gone up again!"
"I've Seen Dragons" saw the fastest sales growth across all platforms this week!
Zhou Guangqi was practically floating on air.
"I knew this game would be a success!"
"Dragon Slayer! Miracle! Two Endings!"
"This price, this size, it's incredible! I really feel it's great value for money!"
Pei Qianqian also rarely showed a smile.
She opened the comments section and saw a bunch of players arguing fiercely.
[A true man is one who can summon spirits! Why wouldn't he summon people if he could? They're all my family!]
[Only through rigorous practice can one achieve lasting success. What you're doing is like having someone else play for you, or relying on your parents for support—we don't encourage that!]
What do you know? Getting a bunch of tyrants to raise me is a skill in itself.
Relying on oneself is the only true protagonist's path!
[Legitimate my foot! We have connections, why don't we use them? Families without human relationships are doomed to fail!]
On the other side, Shen Zhaozhao looked at the backstage messages and almost laughed herself silly.
This time, the players didn't have many opinions, and, just as President Jiang said, some people actually started to debate the merits of Chaoxi Games.
This greatly reduced the pressure on her in managing the business.
Experienced players are great!
The office was filled with joy.
However, in this sea of joy, a frosted glass door remains tightly shut.
Inside the door, Jiang Bo sat in his seat, his face showing little joy.
He looked at the ever-increasing sales data in the background, and then at the system interface that only he could see.
His brows furrowed even more deeply.
Rapid growth?
That's because the starting point was low!
Downloads are plentiful?
That's because the price is low!
At thirty-eight yuan, players don't feel much pressure placing an order.
Furthermore, with Fang Yan and Chi Cheng causing a ruckus during their respective live streams, the conflict between the "manifestation style" and the "hard training style" naturally boosted the show's popularity.
The problem is that this time, the expectations did not meet Jiang Bo's expectations.
His original intention was to create an atmosphere of intense anticipation and suspense for the players.
But now?
Players were certainly disappointed, but they also enjoyed themselves.
My ancestors have blessed me; I feel so good!
I practiced hard to beat Ao Cang, and it felt great!
Both endings taught them a lot.
Even those who only care about the plot think this item was neatly finished and can be considered complete.
The more Jiang Bo thought about it, the heavier his heart became.
It was a mistake.
These players still managed to stir things up!
As the saying goes, what you can't have always seems more alluring.
Jiang Bo felt that his carefully designed dual endings had not met his expectations!
This time, it seems he gave a bit too much.
He underestimated players' tolerance for action games.
Two endings might sound like they're trying to whet the appetite, but for the players, it's like getting two substantial meals, which is enough to satisfy them!
Although players lamented their dissatisfaction online, after the lamentation subsided, they continued to try it, recommend it, and then... satisfy their desires.
It's like a buffet restaurant where the owner originally wanted customers to think about the next meal after finishing their meal, but ended up stuffing them to the point of bursting.
We're full, but when will they come back again?
You can't eat buffets every day!
Jiang Bo reflected for a long time and realized that he still needed to learn.
He still has a lot of room for improvement in creating high player anticipation.
"Knock knock knock".
Just then, there was a knock on the glass door of the office, and Shen Zhaozhao poked half her body in.
Shen Zhaozhao sounded excited, holding a tablet in her hand, half of her body leaning into the doorway, and she couldn't suppress the smile on her face.
Jiang Bo looked up at her.
"Come in."
Shen Zhaozhao immediately walked in.
She placed the tablet in front of Jiang Bo, speaking much faster than usual.
"President Jiang, this is a quick overview of public opinion regarding our game this week."
Overall, the comments section is in a positive direction. Although many people are still expressing their dissatisfaction, most of them are discussing two different paths.
"..."
Jiang Bo glanced at the data compiled by Shen Zhaozhao.
Basically, it's about the same as what he knows.
This generation of players certainly has a strong understanding of the game.
It was stronger than he had expected.
Looking at Jiang Bo's expression, Shen Zhaozhao's initially happy tone gradually softened.
"President Jiang, is there something wrong with the data?"
Jiang Bo snapped out of his daze and looked at her.
"The data is very good."
Shen Zhaozhao was stunned for a moment.
"Then why do you seem a little unhappy?"
Jiang Bo pushed the tablet back, his tone calm.
"I'm very happy."
"I just feel we can do better."
Shen Zhaozhao blinked.
No, are there really people this self-disciplined? If this were in college, she would definitely think the person who said this was a blabbermouth.
However, this is happening at the company, and the person who said this is Jiang Bo.
Shen Zhaozhao suddenly felt it made sense, so she could only tentatively ask.
"Boss, these figures are already very impressive. If this isn't good, then what is? Your standards are too high."
Jiang Bo glanced at her.
From the perspective of a normal game company, "I've Seen Dragons" was indeed a success.
Low price, small size, high popularity, and high level of discussion among players.
But even as Jiang Bo watched the still-rising expectation value, he still felt uneasy.
He paused for a moment, then simply changed his wording.
"If players feel it's worth it and the game generates discussion, that's certainly a good thing."
"But you see, most of what players are discussing right now is the exciting moments and the ending, but I wish they were discussing more possibilities."
"The sense of anticipation should be more focused and purer."
Hearing this, Shen Zhaozhao nodded as if she understood, though she didn't quite understand what the boss was struggling with, but she was sure there was a reason behind what the boss said.
She was about to turn around and leave with her tablet.
Jiang Bo suddenly called out to her.
"Um... Zhao Zhao, I have a question for you."
Jiang Bo looked at her, his gaze deep.
"What do you think is the most anticipated thing in this world?"
Shen Zhaozhao stopped and began to think seriously.
This question came too suddenly and too abruptly; she was completely unprepared.
But... what makes people most excited?
The word that popped into Shen Zhaozhao's mind subconsciously was: money.
Nonsense, who doesn't dream of getting rich overnight?
She spends her sleepless nights fantasizing about being reborn, becoming rich, and reaching the pinnacle of life.
But then she thought about it again.
Then I thought of power, status, or the flowers and applause that come with success.
She stood there for a while, her brows furrowing slightly.
She always felt that these things were missing something, that something was lacking.
These are more like naked desires and utilitarianism, lacking the pure charm that captivates and lingers in the heart.
Money is certainly something to look forward to.
Power and status are also something to look forward to.
But these things are more like a very clear goal.
She has aspirations, but even without them, she can live a good life.
She stood there for a long time, her brows slightly furrowed, countless words flashing through her mind.
Finally, Shen Zhaozhao took a deep breath and met Jiang Bo's gaze.
She gave an answer that even she herself found somewhat cliché, yet incredibly genuine.
"That's probably..."
"Is it love?"
