I am the savior, but I am being asked by Alicia and the others to pay me back.

Ye Ming said confidently: "Well, I feel like my thoughts are flowing like a spring."

···········

When Ms.'s new work "The Last Days: Dawn" was first released, it did not cause much waves in the gaming circle.

It has been less than a week since the release of Everburned, and the popularity of the game is at its peak. Apart from Honkai Impact 3rd, there are basically no topics discussed in major gaming communities.

What’s worse is that “The Last Days: Dawn” has so many similarities with Tencent’s “The Last Days of Girls” that it has been labeled a bad game before anyone has even played it.

After all, the most popular thing Tencent did for "The Last Days of Girls" was to sing the theme song called "Little Dragon".

Both the MV and the song itself are so bad that they are shocking, and people hate them, and they are also being used as memes all over the internet.

Even if you haven't played the game itself, you can tell how bad the original game is just by listening to this theme song.

“Can you help spread the word?”

The lady who was worried about sales had to find Ye Ming. In the office, the two sat face to face.

She was wearing sunglasses and looking very cool as she crossed her long white legs.

But this was not because the lady was insincere, but because she was a little afraid to look directly at Ye Ming, fearing that she would fall in love with him.

"That's fine with me, but...why don't you release a promotional PV?"

"I listened to the song, it's great, and I've written the lyrics for you, so could it be that I can't write it?"

Ye Ming was quite curious. After all, promotional PV was the best way to increase the popularity of a new game.

"No, your lyrics are very good, but... because they are too good, I want to make the accompanying animation the best it can be, so I have to postpone it."

"Why bother?"

"Because I don't accept it."

The lady said unhappily:

“Although the previous Xiao Zhalong incident was not a project I led, it is still the biggest stain on my career!”

“In fact, I don’t want this new work to be associated with The Last Days of the Maiden, but the story framework is indeed very similar, so it’s inevitable that they will be compared.”

"So I have to come up with a work that can change the public opinion! Drive the damn little dragon out of the players' minds!"

The lady became more and more excited as she spoke, and before she knew it, she was pressing down on Ye Ming's desk with great force.

The huge treasure chest in front of his chest kept shaking because of anger, and the pink color made Ye Ming dizzy.

"Besides... because the lyrics you wrote are very consistent with the content of the game, it is better to play the game first and then watch the PV."

"I always feel like you're selling games as works of art."

If you think about it carefully, this is how the lady was when she was at Tencent, wanting to produce gorgeous results regardless of the cost.

But now as an independent studio, we don’t have the financial resources, so we are stretched to the limit.

"Anyway, help promote it and I'll give you dividends later."

"I'll help you promote it on your social media account, but you don't need to share the profits."

"no!"

The lady said very firmly:

"5% dividend, don't even think about taking a penny less!"

"Um...what are you trying to do..."

How can you force someone to give you money when you don't want it?

"I don't want to owe you any more favors."

The lady said bluntly:

"If I accept your help for no reason, I will definitely think of you involuntarily, which would be terrible."

"Am I some indescribable thing? The kind that makes you lose your sanity just by thinking about it?"

354. Helping competitors promote their products? The boomerang has been thrown

"It's not just my problem. Look at the employees under you."

The lady pointed to the people who were eavesdropping outside the office door.

"If our relationship is too close, I'm worried I won't be able to walk out of this building alive."

"You are exaggerating..."

"Exaggeration?"

The lady pointed to her plump chest and made a gesture as if drawing a sword.

"I want to criticize the violent girl named Ying without naming her."

"Aren't you calling the roll?"

Ye Ming complained:

"And wasn't the general puppet that cut you down..."

"Do you think I, as a victim, care about this?"

The lady said with a PTSD look:

"She chopped me to death, why should I care who was in charge when she chopped me to death?"

"Ah ha ha……"

"In short! Just treat today's matter as a deal. It's settled. Goodbye."

···········

That evening, Ye Ming used his official account to repost the promotion of the lady’s new work.

As soon as the news came out, countless players came to watch.

[Good fellow, you are using the public account for personal purposes, right? ]

[They are all privately used. Can you please show me some beautiful pictures of Ye Ming?]

——This account has been blocked and will not be able to comment within 30 days.

[Isn’t this the previous work of Tencent? ]

[It is said that this was made after the main creator ran away]

【I just remember Xiao Zhalong】

[I am a dragon, hehehe! I am super brave, you you you! You don’t understand, dong dong dong]

[Fuck, stop! My toes are clenched]

Seeing that the comments were not very friendly, Ye Ming added:

——I played it for a while and felt it was pretty good. It’s worth getting into.

【? ? ? ? 】

[Are you really promoting your competitors? ]

[How much advertising fee is this?]

[Have you started supporting independent studios?]

【Look at other people’s pattern】

Although there are many strange arguments, Ye Ming’s propaganda is still very effective.

The lady's new work reached a peak in a short period of time, and when this peak passed...

It actually reached a new peak.

The reputation of the game continued to rise, and Ye Ming's unilateral promotion gradually became word of mouth among players.

[Is this the spiritual sequel to The Last Days of the Girl? ]

[The background is almost the same, but the story is too rich]

[This performance is really strong, it's halfway to the level of Honkai Impact 3rd]

[How did Tencent mess up such a good trump card? ]

The story follows the background of The Last Days of the Girl. Under the brutal rule of the dragon, mankind's magical civilization was completely destroyed.

But different from the cool plot continued by Tencent, there are no people with Golden Immortal bloodline here, only ordinary people who are gritting their teeth to survive in the cracks.

Even though magic has been lost, humans' desire to resist fate has never stopped.

From steam to diesel to electronic components, every technological innovation is the result of countless pioneers' exploration in the dark and is accompanied by countless sacrifices.

The Mechanical War God Project was the most heroic resistance of mankind, but it resulted in the most tragic tragedy.

When the end comes, people who are called heroes choose to pass on hope to the next generation.

Even if they will perish in the flames or be branded as traitors, they must continue to preserve the fire that they have ignited with great difficulty.

And when the next generation carries this legacy, completes the transformation in the truth of the past, turns the ever-burning spark into a sharp blade, and finally pierces the body of the Tyrannosaurus Rex...

Almost all the players felt a shock that made their scalps tingle.

[This is simply another version of collapse, so shocking]

[The inheritance of faith and the ever-burning fire, this theme really touched me]

[During the final battle, all I could think of was the eternal burning of firewood]

[No wonder it was released when Honkai Impact 3rd was at its peak, it turns out that they complement each other]

[It is better to say that players who have experienced the Eternal Flame will feel better when playing this game]

Almost all players will unconsciously associate this game with Honkai Impact 3rd, but no one comes out to criticize it.

Although the technical strength is not as good as that of Honkai Impact 3rd, players can see that the creators have tried their best to do their best within their capabilities.

[I didn’t expect that besides Honkai Impact 3rd, there are other games that can make me cry]

[It would be perfect if there was music like MoonHalo]

[It would be better if there was another short film like "The Fire Will Always Burn"]

[After all, it is a small workshop and probably doesn’t have the financial resources]

[What a pity, I really want to see it]

[Forget it, what if it's another little drag queen...]

[Fuck! Don’t mention Xiao Zhalong! I already have a melody in my mind]

“It’s received rave reviews.”

After seeing the comments from the players, Ye Ming seemed to understand why the lady wanted to postpone the release of the PV.

The short film that she spent a lot of money on to change her reputation is probably not used for publicity and foresight, but a summary of the story like the eternal flame.

No wonder they want players to experience the plot first and then watch it.

"I'm really looking forward to what your short film will be like."

··········

At 11 o'clock in the evening, in the lady's studio, the staff who were working on the post-production of the animation stretched and said with relief:

"Finally done, come and see the finished film."

"Ah."

The lady walked to the computer and watched the animated short film from beginning to end. An expression of satisfaction first appeared on her face, and then she frowned.

"I want to change this part in the middle."

“Oh? Do you want to make more changes? But if you do, it won’t be ready for tomorrow’s release.”

After taking a look at the time, the staff member said with a look of grievance:

"And I really can't work overtime anymore."

"You go back first, and leave the rest of the work to me."

The lady pulled out the chair and sat down at her workstation:
