We humans are so awesome.

Justin pushed the reluctant Lisa into the portal, then waited for a moment until the access light came on again and stepped in himself.

After the dazzling white light, the scene before him was beyond his expectations.

There are rolling mountains and dense rivers. In the distance, there is an endless expanse of prairie, where all kinds of wild animals are leisurely walking, including buffaloes, zebras, coyotes...

This is not Goblin Country!

Justin finally confirmed this after seeing two native demons holding spears.

"Bitch!" He greeted Lisa affectionately in his heart.

The portal could not be wrong, Lisa must have tampered with it. This lazy, good-for-nothing woman betrayed him and took away all his property.

But Justin was not discouraged, as he also had a portable magic storage mobile terminal. If he couldn't be "our goblin", he could still be "our devil".

Justin took out a portable magic power storage mobile terminal and tried to find out how to pronounce "We Demons" in demon language. However, the mobile terminal, which can meet almost any needs of users, did not respond to his request this time.

There is no internet in the prairie.

....................................

The conference hall that was previously used to hold the award ceremony for the ninety-nine publishers of "Breath of Lightning" once again hung up welcome banners to greet the demons who came from afar.

The first Masonic meeting was officially held.

It was the first time for many devils to meet their peers. They exchanged publishing experiences and discussed development directions together. Some diligent devils even hid in a corner and recited the common language alone.

When Don Juan came onto the stage, all the demons stopped what they were doing and gave him a long and warm applause.

"The main theme of our meeting today is how to make more money."

Don Juan's first words made the demons go crazy. Isn't this the purpose of their coming to the world?

"In order to make more money, we have to manage our image."

Don Juan projected the rules and regulations prepared by Sylvia onto the big screen. There were hundreds of pages of densely packed rules, covering more than ten categories including standardized civilized language, manners and appearance, public welfare activities, and nearly a thousand articles.

The devils gasped at the same time, and the air in the entire conference hall dropped several degrees in an instant.

They don't like to study, and there is no need for them to do this. They also love freedom, and how can they be bound by rules and regulations?

Of course, they love money more, so they can only endure it silently.

"I will send the materials to everyone. Those who violate the rules and regulations are the black sheep of Freemasonry. Those with minor offenses will be fined, and those with serious offenses will be expelled directly!"

Don Juan's attitude was very firm. He spent a full 100 million to build up his glorious image, and he would never allow any member to destroy it, even if they paid for it.

Freemasonry serves Don Juan, not him serving Freemasonry. Otherwise, wouldn't he have organized this organization in vain?

Noticing the unhappy looks of the demons, Don Juan didn't care and continued to talk about his second plan.

"Of course, following rules and regulations is only the basis. If we want to manage our image, we must take multiple measures and advance them simultaneously."

He pulled out a portable magic power storage mobile terminal from his dimensional bag and held it high above his head.

"The next task for Freemasonry is to develop a groundbreaking mobile game."

Chapter 35 Strange Story

Currently, there are two main types of entertainment activities for young people: one is short videos and the other is mobile games.

Short videos have a wider audience, but in terms of money-making ability, mobile games are better.

Don Juan was eating what was in his bowl and thinking about what was in the pot. While working on short videos, he had been eyeing the fat piece of meat in mobile games for a long time. However, he had not obtained a work permit before, so he had to give up.

Now that I have become famous, I have been approved for work permit through special procedures. It is a good opportunity for me to set up a company and explore new business areas.

However, his emotional declaration was not greeted with applause as before. The devils in the audience whispered to each other and talked a lot, expressing cautious pessimism about Don Juan's behavior.

Wolves should eat meat and dogs should eat shit.

Freemasonry is a publisher association, not a programmer association. Publishers may play mobile games and promote mobile games, but developing mobile games? Where does the confidence come from?

The top mobile games have indeed made a lot of money, but most of them died silently without even a splash. Don Juan forced himself to cross professional boundaries, perhaps because he was dazzled by his recent victory!

Brandon stood up first.

He shares the same opinion as others, but no matter how pessimistic he is, he still has to show his loyalty at critical moments.

"Please rest assured, President, I will do my best to cooperate with the publicity!" Brandon thought about it and this was the only thing he could use from them.

"Publicity, no, not publicity." Don Juan shook his head and looked at the audience with an extremely earnest look, "I need your support now!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the devils turned pale and covered their wallets.

The landlord’s family has no surplus food!

Not only did they pay a large sum of redemption silver, but 30% of their future income will also be taken by the Freemasons. Now even game development requires financial sponsorship from members?

Brandon also didn't bother to show his courtesy anymore, and begged for mercy with a bitter face: "Not much left, President, I don't have much left!"

"Mr. Don Juan wants to use your image. We are planning to develop a pay-to-win card-drawing mobile game, and the prototypes of the cards are you." Sylvia told Don Juan what he intended.

So that’s it!

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and no longer worried. After thinking about it carefully, their eyes became eager again.

This game does seem to have a lot of potential!

Their fans combined, there are at least 30 to 50 million people. Even if only one tenth of them download it, and only one tenth of them pay for it, that's still hundreds of thousands of people, so the popularity is definitely huge.

Moreover, game players can easily empathize with characters, as many of them fall in love with voice actors, not to mention the prototypes. This is indeed beneficial for managing their own image.

Not to mention that the popularity of the game will definitely attract people outside the circle, and the number of fans and influence that they value most will also increase.

Brandon also breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and agreed: "No problem, you can use it as you like, President, I can fully authorize it, as for the price..."

"Just give as you see fit," Don Juan said generously.

"Okay, then... eh?" Brandon was stunned, staring at Don Juan for a long while, and then asked with a stammer, "You mean, I still need to pay for using my image?"

Is there such a reason in the world? Even if you are the president, you can't do this!

He would rather believe that he had heard it wrong, but Don Juan had no intention of concealing it and admitted it directly.

"Of course, there are only 20 to 30 characters in the game at the beginning, and at most 10 more will be released in a month. But there are 433 members in the Freemasons. How to distribute them? It's reasonable to use money to talk, right?"

"In addition, the character's portrait, personal storyline, and voice actor are all decided by you. We will set the character's star rating based on the price." Sylvia added a few words.

"This is also for your own good. Just set the image you want to create. By the way, if you want to appear in the main storyline, you have to pay extra!" Don Juan said again.

Not only do you have to compete for the job, but you also have to pay out of your own pocket to design the cards, plots, and hire voice actors. Is this reasonable?

The members were filled with indignation, and after Don Juan left the venue, they erupted in a massive protest that almost lifted the roof of the auditorium.

When the devils calmed down, they found that many seats were empty and many famous publishers had already left the venue.

"They must have gone to find the painter!" A devil suddenly had an idea and shouted in panic.

The star rating in mobile games represents popularity. Five stars are inherently more valued than four stars, and the benefits they bring are naturally greater.

Although it requires a comprehensive judgment, anyone who has played mobile games knows that the importance of character portraits far outweighs other aspects. It is not easy to find excellent painters on the market nowadays, so whoever starts first will have an advantage.

The demons no longer cared to vent their emotions and swarmed towards the exit.

....................................

Folga did not join in the fun. After the meeting, he went backstage and went straight to Don Juan.

"Mr. President, I also want to appear. The price is negotiable!"

Don Juan frowned, looking embarrassed: "It's not easy. You know that your situation is too special. If you make it into a card, it will pollute the card pool..."

"I'll offer one hundred thousand!" Folga directly stated the price.

"How about you be the villain, appear in the main storyline, and live to the third chapter."

Folga was very dissatisfied with this: "Villain? I don't want to be a villain!"

"What's wrong with being a villain? Villains are an important part of the main plot. If you don't want one, I'll give it to Brandon. He just sent me a message, crying and shouting that he wanted to be a villain."

Folga gritted his teeth and said, "I'll pay two hundred thousand!"

"I'll give you another chapter about your family's misfortunes and the abuse you suffered in your childhood. Under your dirty exterior, you still have a soft and sincere heart."

"Three hundred thousand!"

"Although your original body is dead, due to some special reasons, you from another world appeared in the card pool. He didn't eat shit!"

"Five hundred and thirty-eight thousand!" Folga opened the access rights of his account to Don Juan. "I really mean it, I really don't have a penny left!"

"Your counterpart is a female."

"...200,000 dollars will change your personality?"

"As a publisher, you are so ignorant?" Don Juan looked at Folga with disdain, "Don't you know that gender reassignment is the mainstream now? Besides, who would draw a male character?"

This is true!

Folga thought about it carefully and realized that it was true. He was satisfied and was about to say goodbye when he suddenly thought of an important question.

"By the way, Mr. President, what is the name of our game?"

"Original Demon: Become a human being tomorrow!"

Chapter 36 Our Heart

Folga left, although his purse had been emptied, but his heart was full of hope. With his keen sense of smell, he would have a place in the new world again.

Don Juan was not entirely satisfied.

Among all the devil publishers, Folga can be regarded as the number one devil after Don Juan. Even so, he can only squeeze out more than 500,000, and the rest is estimated to be even worse.

This damn Wilson has such a dark heart!

"How much money can we raise?" he asked his female assistant.

Sylvia reported the information she knew without hesitation.

"There is a total of 63 million in the account at present. Within a week, we should be able to collect another 10 to 20 million, which is enough for game development. The highest offer from several development teams I have contacted was only 30 to 50 million."
