Starting with Genshin Impact, the whole world is going crazy for it.

So what's the point of all the hard work I put into achieving this through the system, just to buy a big house?

However, Zhou Tiankuo found their suggestions quite feasible.

There is another crucial point.

The system does not take a cut of the revenue from the experience center.

This is because it's a reward from Starlight to Zhou Tiankuo, and it has nothing to do with the production points given by the system.

Moreover, the rental fees for the experience center and the various equipment used in the early stages were all provided by Starlight Rewards.

In other words, if Zhou Tiankuo were to actually turn his internet cafe into a business, aside from the initial costs of hiring staff, the other costs would be approximately zero.

However, the revenue generated by the internet cafe goes directly into his pocket, without being shared with the system or Starlight.

That sounds incredibly tempting!

Chapter 120: Deciding to open an internet cafe, starting with selling a batch of figurines.

Before long, Zhou Tiankuo made up his mind.

"I've decided to listen to you and treat this experience center as an internet cafe."

It's just that it's a bit more upscale than a regular internet cafe.

He also specifically set up a VR experience room, etc.

“Okay, boss, I support you…” Xia Tian smiled and suggested, “Didn’t we say before that we were going to put some figurines in the experience center? I found out today that they’re not displayed yet. We need to get this arranged as soon as possible.”

Reminded by Xia Tian, ​​Zhou Tiankuo slapped his forehead!

He's been so busy lately that he'd completely forgotten about this!

However, it's clear that many players have forgotten about this pie, and there hasn't been anyone online specifically criticizing Zhou Tiankuo.

Fortunately, the system is working on the figures quickly. Zhou Tiankuo said, "The figures are already finished, but I've been so busy lately that I forgot about them. I'll set them up at the experience center tomorrow."

Xia Tian nodded.

She is still looking forward to the experience center becoming an internet cafe.

The group finished their barbecue on the roadside and didn't run into the drunk fan again.

When Zhou Tiankuo came over after paying the bill, the young people were still chatting and laughing.

"Boss, what are we going to do tomorrow?" Xia Tian asked with a smile, clearly in a good mood.

She was happy that her game studio had an experience center.

Chu Zichen, who was standing next to him, said, "Shouldn't we do the same thing tomorrow as today?"

When players arrive, we process all the paperwork for them and then let them go play.

In just one day, Pokémon has already gained a number of loyal players.

Some of the players who came today will probably come again tomorrow.

Zhou Tiankuo made a simple estimate of tomorrow's passenger flow, "There should still be quite a lot of people tomorrow, so get a good rest tonight."

Chu Zichen's other three roommates said, "Don't worry, except for Chen Yu who is going home tomorrow, the other two of us can come and help."

Zhou Tiankuo smiled and said, "Okay, thank you."

He would settle the fees they received for their help according to the part-time standard.

The first day was fine, because they spent almost the entire day playing games at the experience center.

"Okay, then hurry home...you guys should also hurry back to your dorms."

Chu Zichen nodded and left, chatting and laughing with his roommate.

Xia Tian and Mu Yining, the only two girls present, said goodbye to Zhou Tiankuo hand in hand.

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

Mu Yining's house was quite far away, so she and Xia Tian went to her house to stay for the night.

Zhou Tiankuo originally wanted to send them back, but Xia Tian said that her home was not far away, and with Mu Yining going back, the two of them wouldn't be afraid.

"Okay. Remember to send me a message when you get back."

Zhou Tiankuo waved his hand.

As he watched the two girls disappear into the distance, he took out his phone and created a group chat for them.

[@All members, please let me know when you get home.]

Zhou Tiankuo sent a message before taking a taxi home.

Although it wasn't far, he didn't want to walk back even though it was two or three kilometers away.

Along the way, he was still thinking about what he would need if he turned the experience center into an internet cafe.

The basic configuration is all there.

It seems that in addition to the necessary staff, we will need to hire baristas and pastry chefs?

Zhou Tiankuo casually jotted down his thoughts on his phone.

First, as the staff member in charge of scheduling, I separated myself and Xia Tian and others from the work, and there were dedicated people to come to work and take charge of the operation of the internet cafe.

If you want to operate continuously from morning to night, you need to divide it into day shifts and night shifts.

It should at least be a 4-day work week with 1 day off.

Zhou Tiankuo currently plans to hire three or four, or at most five, shop assistants, so that the scheduling can be more flexible.

Cleaning and other chores also need to be specially arranged.

As for beverages, Zhou Tiankuo originally planned to make them high-end and professional, but he quickly abandoned the idea of ​​hiring someone specifically for that purpose.

He decided to hire just one employee who could prepare simple drinks, while other desserts could be bought ready-made.

After all, an internet cafe is still essentially an internet cafe; anything too fancy or extravagant would overshadow its purpose.

While it's possible to attract customers with unique drinks or food, Zhou Tiankuo's original intention was to promote his game.

The shortest distance between two points is a straight line, and Zhou Tiankuo still intends to develop steadily.

In this process, as long as the experience center (internet cafe) can bring in some income, that's enough.

So no matter what new tricks this infuriating system comes up with to torment him, he can remain calm and composed!

Having made up his mind, Zhou Tiankuo brought the thousand figurines he had worked on overnight to the experience center for sale the next day.

They were all the same kind that I gave to Xia Tian before; I made fifty of each kind.

Most of them are Plants vs. Zombies.

Because the figurines for this game are the easiest to make; you just need to make them exactly like the characters in the game!

And it caused a brief sensation when Xia Tian first received the gift.

It's fair to say that the figurines from this game are quite popular.

Wow, so many... Were they just piled up at home all this time?

As everyone helped Zhou Tiankuo set up the figurines on the table, they marveled at how well the owner could hide them.

Zhou Tiankuo felt ashamed.

If he says that he installed DingTalk on the system overnight, using up his last few production points...!

I doubt anyone would believe that!

In terms of pricing, Zhou Tiankuo is also taking a people-friendly approach to reward players.

A smaller figure costs only 49 yuan and is about 30 centimeters tall.

The larger one is 89, which is almost a meter tall.

Zhou Tiankuo wasn't looking to make money; he just wanted to recoup some of his losses.

Because right now, it seems he only has one or two thousand production points left!

This also confirms what Zhou Tiankuo said back then.

The better the system treats him, the more complete and feature-rich the game will be.

Later on, he will realize more and more that there is no such thing as a free lunch!

Zhou Tiankuo sighed secretly.

A dazzling array of figurines were displayed on the stage, instantly making the experience center more adorable.

"These figurines are so cute, some of them are ones I don't even own, I want to buy them myself..."

Xia Tian was the first person I wanted to place an order with.

Zhou Tiankuo said, "Just tell me what you want, and I'll have the factory make it for you. Today, these figurines are mainly for collectors."

Zhou Tiankuo was afraid that if these figurines were sold to internal employees in advance after they had already been online for a day, his reputation would be ruined if word got out.

Xia Tian nodded.

Soon the experience center officially opened.

There weren't long queues outside the experience center today.

Knowing the capacity and the time limit for disembarking, many players won't waste their time outside.

Xia Tian smiled sweetly, just as her name suggests: "Today we have limited edition figurines available for everyone to purchase!"

Chapter 121 Put aside your pride and experience the game.

What? You have figurines?

Upon hearing this news, the previously listless players outside immediately widened their eyes!

They've almost forgotten that Tiankuo Studio once said that figurines would be available for sale after the experience center officially launches!

"I'm here! I'm here! I'm determined to buy that cute sunflower!"

"Ahhh, nobody get in my way, I want to buy five!"
