Poverty makes me capable of anything.

"Fine, I'll go! Humph!"

Zhou Jieyu opened the door and went out.

According to Li Zhuying, because she "fell ill," she became "Zhou Shuren"; because she recently upgraded and added a few points to her agility, and ran faster than Li Zhuying, she became "Zhou Xun"; because she draws illustrations very quickly and smoothly, she is "Z Bichang". Li Zhuying always manages to associate her name with famous people in history. In short, she is not called Zhou Jieyu.

However, I'm in a good mood lately, so I won't bother arguing with a skinny guy like you.

She was praised by her mother just yesterday.

tread.

Ok?

Tap tap.

Yes……

Huh?

Seeing the two figures emerge from around the corner, Zhou Jieyu paused for a moment, then quickly shouted, "An Ran!"

Although my hairstyle and hair color have changed.

But isn't this a common occurrence? What's the big deal?

An Ran wore brown ankle boots that were longer than a fist, and a white long skirt that just covered the edge of the boots. She wore a light blue plaid thin shirt on top, and her black bun looked inexplicably cute, even making Zhou Jieyu think she was cuter than Ella.

The big deal is here.

Zhou Jieyu beamed with joy.

Although she was annoyed by being called a "leg-hugging queen" on the forum, she still clung tightly to any powerful figure she could find.

Slurp...

I'm third on the rankings and I want to climb back up.

When Zhou Jieyu looked at An Ran with great excitement, An Ran, in turn, was also experiencing a great deal of inner turmoil.

A money tree.

There's only one money tree in front of us; we need to lure in the other two.

She just checked the sales figures again; they've already reached 421 million, and that's only been five days.

"What, An Ran?"

boom!

Upon hearing the commotion, Li Zhuying rushed out.

As expected, An Ran!

Hmm, um, ah, um...

Li Zhuying hesitated, wondering how to speak to An Ran.

Let's get straight to the point.

An Ran said directly, "I'm planning to start a media company. I wonder if any of you would be interested in joining me."

“(⊙_⊙)”

I was completely dumbfounded.

Zhou Jieyu and Li Zhuying were stunned on the spot; the opening remarks were quite abrupt.

……

The interview with Mo Yuzhu Studio appeared on the homepage of a well-known media website the day after it was published. With the addition of related reports from other media, "Beyond the Deep Space" quickly went from being a hit in the "Night of Stars" to becoming a hit in the real world.

This is a golden egg.

Due to the official's special attitude towards fan works related to the game, "Night of the Stars" has now become a golden goose.

Writing novels and making movies about games is not unprecedented; there's already an industry for it. But this is the first time people have realized that uncovering hidden storylines in games can be so lucrative.

Although the development company of "Night of the Stars" will take a 30% cut as per industry practice, the low-cost promotional channels still allow entertainment companies and individuals to earn a considerable amount.

"I never thought you could make money like this. You need to hire a group of people right away to dig out hidden storylines like the Pirate Princess."

"It's here, it's here, my inspiration has arrived!"

"Hmm... I was still debating, but I'll release a doujinshi of the Pirate Princess at this year's anime convention."

"Damn it, get everyone back here right now! I need to work overtime to finish filming this movie!"

For a time, many people in the game became "plot excavators".

Many large companies are spending money to buy valuable "plots," whether for adaptation or to enrich their script library—it's a worthwhile investment.

[It's done! I've decided to become an expert at uncovering the secrets of the imperial princess. In a while, I'll write a book called "The Princess's Secret That She's Ashamed to See."]

Well, I think that besides the hidden storylines involving NPCs, the game's own storyline could also be expanded upon.

[Everyone, wait a minute, "The War of 1886" is already being written.]

……

"emmm..."

"emmm..."

【Night of Stars】In the development company's conference room, the seated people looked at each other in bewilderment.

"This is quite unexpected."

"Even though I knew this game had infinite possibilities, I never imagined it would develop to this point in such a short time."

Someone frowned: "Although this is a very good positive publicity for the game, there is still less than a month before the competition. Won't this affect the promotion of the competition? For [Night of the Stars], the official competition is one of the two basic things."

"I don't think it's a big problem. There are still more than 20 days left, and the hype will eventually die down. Besides, novels, comics, and TV series can also be used to promote the competition."

Oh, and sports novels and sports movies!

The others' eyes lit up.

"There's still a bit of a headache. Don't forget, this pirate princess is the final boss of version 2.0." Someone coughed lightly.

Well.

"This novel was originally supposed to be released by us, in version 3.0."

"Overall, the current situation is more advantageous than disadvantageous, and its commercial value is very high."

“That’s not what I meant. What I meant was, if players knew that the Pirate Princess was the final boss of version 2.0, this…”

This will cause a huge upheaval.

Everyone's expression turned serious.

Customer service representatives might get so frustrated they become withdrawn.

"This setting has already been entered into the host, and it can't be changed now."

The host computer is autonomously deduced, but there are also a few pre-input "lines". If you want to change them, it will be an extremely huge project.

"..."

"..."

"You ask me why the Pirate Princess is the final boss of version 2.0? Of course I don't know! Isn't this all deduced by the console itself?"

Ok?

"That's right! Isn't the plot all deduced by the host itself? What does it have to do with us!"

Oh!

You guys are really little geniuses.

The meeting room erupted in enthusiastic applause.

……

8103 9 Month 19 Day.

An Ran used a fake identity to register a new company on Planet Kleber, named Aian Media.

Chapter 43 The Painful Yet Joyful Path to Wealth

Registering a company on Kleber is not a complicated matter; all you need is money.

Creating a fake identity isn't difficult; all you need is money.

Although Anran isn't particularly wealthy right now, she still has more than enough money to buy a fake identity and start a company.

Aian Media now only has five people, including An Ran.

But that's not a problem. Right now, all they have to do is promote the book "Beyond Deep Space". With a player forum, they don't need much manpower.

Once you have more employees, you can consider pushing these things to NPCs, since the number of players is still far less than that of NPCs.

It seems like we could play out a cultural invasion of another world plot...

Thirty percent of the sales revenue from "Beyond the Deep Space" will be taken by the official "Night of the Stars" team, and according to the previously agreed agreement, Anran can also take thirty percent of that.

But the remaining two-fifths were enough to make Zhou Jieyu and the others happy.

With sales reaching 507 million units to date, they can earn 4056 million pence.

However, since the sales revenue is only deposited into their accounts on the 1st of each month during game time, they haven't seen the money yet.

"With just a little more, we could buy a small spaceship!" Zhou Jieyu said happily.

Li Zhuying shook her head: "That spaceship is too small, less than twenty meters long. Why don't we save up the money first and buy a bigger one?"

Lin Yumo nodded vigorously.

I think this will work!

“That’s true.” It was rare for Zhou Jieyu and Li Zhuying not to argue while shopping. “If you’re going to buy something, buy something big, preferably like that EUS mothership Starhawk mentioned in the news, over 7 meters long, hehehe…”

As she spoke, Zhou Jieyu drifted into a daydream.
