After being away for a few months, Ji Xing needs to go to various places to make his presence felt.
The first thing is school. He needs to cancel his leave and then ask for leave. He doesn't want to be stuck in the senior year of high school endlessly, doing endless exercises. The teacher also understands that after all, Ji Xing is now 'President Ji Xing', so it is natural for him to be busy.
I just told him not to delay his studies as much as possible. As long as he maintains his current grades, he can basically choose from the best universities in Japan.
Well, take the college entrance examination...
The second is his club.
After a "short development", the card game "I am Detective" has unknowingly become a national game in Japan, replacing the status of traditional card games such as flower cards and Waka Solitaire.
With "I Am Detective" and two other board games, the company's annual revenue is tens of billions of yen. Of course, it is far inferior to the major consortiums that control the Japanese economy, but it can still be among the top 100 companies in Japan.
Already.
Compared with "a few months ago", the appearance has changed drastically.
The rented two-story office building has been replaced by a purchased five-story building, and the number of employees has grown from a few dozen to nearly a thousand. Of course, if it is just the headquarters, it does not need so many people. The nearly a thousand here are responsible for the direct board games that have been blooming all over Japan recently.
Counting the store.
When the club expands to this level, it is natural that the club will be formalized and divided into departments, with large and small section chiefs, deputy chiefs, and many ministers.
As the director of R&D, Kuroki Kumaoshi feels that he is the most embarrassing senior executive in the club.
Now 42 years old, he has a strong man's hair. He was once a senior executive of a game company. Because he was interested in this emerging card game, and of course, more importantly, Ji Xingzhengji gave him too much, so he was hired by the Board Game Co., Ltd.
company.
Originally, he wanted to show off his talents. After carefully studying the three board games created by Ji Xing, he led others to design and develop two new board games.
The results were all rejected by Ji Xing.
Or on the phone?
As the director of research and development, all he can do is to investigate players' gaming conditions, fine-tune the rules of three released tabletop games, and balance the games?
Today I learned that the president, who had been missing for several months, had finally arrived at the club. He immediately rushed to the president's office and knocked on the door.
"Please come in!"
Opening the door, he saw the young man sitting behind the desk playing with two cards.
‘You are so young.’ Although he had been prepared for it, he still felt this way when he saw Ji Xing for the first time, and then he bowed deeply to the end.
"President!"
This is a very hierarchical society.
"Well, take a seat." Ji Xing placed the two cards in his hand on the table, "Minister Kuroki?"
"Yes! President!" Kuroki Xiongzhi glanced at the cards on the table and saw Ji Xing again.
Well, the quarter star printed on the card.
The name of this card is 'Fighter', and its effect is: 'The fighter masters powerful karate. If the prisoner chooses to kill the fighter at night, it will cause huge noise and lead to his arrest.'
A mine card.
This will greatly increase the difficulty of the game for the prisoner player, so accordingly, there is another card that is beneficial to the prisoner player.
Confused Detective: 'A detective with unreliable reasoning ability can identify a prisoner based on his inner thoughts. If the identification is wrong, the good person identified will also be arrested. If the identification is correct, the prisoner will be immune to one arrest.
Killed.'
These are two cards in the "I Am Detective" supplementary card pack that will be released by the club.
Regarding Ji Xing's use of his own image to make fighter cards, Kuroki Xiongzhi actually feels a little bad. Isn't it a little bit arrogant for a young man to make a popular game by chance? Is he going to change careers?
Be a star?
Of course, he only dared to criticize these contents in his heart and did not dare to express them.
"I have carefully studied the two card games designed by Minister Kuroki before, and they are very playable." At this time, Ji Xing said.
Heimu Xiongzhi was startled. He didn't expect Ji Xing's opening remarks: "Then why, President..."
"We have to think about it from everyone's perspective. Board games are card games, which are different from traditional cards. The price is slightly higher, and the three board games are enough for most people to have fun at gatherings. If you play them one after another, you won't feel uncomfortable for a long time.
Bored.
In this case, players who have collected three types of board games will definitely consider it more when our fourth and fifth board games are released, causing us to fight with ourselves, and the club’s revenue will not be affected by this.
And surged.”
Kuroki Bearzhi cannot understand.
"But there will always be people who are willing to buy them all...and president, have you heard about it? Many board game clubs have popped up in Japan recently, and the several games they have designed and released are also good. Although we have the first-mover advantage, we also have many
"I am Detective" is difficult to reproduce, but it only sticks to three kinds of board games..."
"Do they have a total of 308 board game stores across various cities in Japan?" Ji Xing asked.
Kuroki Bearzhi was puzzled, of course not. Without "I Am Detective", the popularity of those games would not be able to support physical stores.
Ji Xing said: "Next, I will provide you with ten kinds of board games, together with the two board games designed by your R&D department, and fill them in our club's board game store for everyone to choose from."
"...Ten types?!"
Kuroki Xiongzhi was stunned.
After a long while, he came back to his senses and murmured: "This is to crush those small board game clubs at once..."
There is no popular game like "I am a Detective". Each imitation club basically only has one or two board games that sell well. But when our club's board game store can provide 15 kinds of board games and game venues, fools
Everyone knows how to choose.
This is a dimensionality reduction attack!
Unless...those clubs also put board games into our board game stores to promote them, acknowledge our club's dominant position, and make money on their knees.
You still have to give us most of the money you earn?
When he looked at Ji Xing again, his eyes had turned to sincere respect. Whether it was designing ten board games at once or his foresight, he was convinced by him who was more than twice his age.
But this would probably make the R&D department even more embarrassed. He didn't believe what Ji Xing said about the ten tabletop games being so bad. One department couldn't match the ability of the president alone. He really... should commit suicide.
"Leave this matter to the vice president." At this time, Ji Xing said again: "Minister Kuroki, the R&D department has more important things to do next."
"...More important things?" Kuroki Kumaoshi, who has a strong man's hairstyle, can't stand this kind of stimulation.
"Well, it's a new project, a new game - Script Killing." Ji Xing continued.
"It can also be regarded as an evolved version of "I am Detective". You have to cooperate with the sleeping famous detective Mouri Kogoro, and use the cases he has solved as a template to write scripts. Players respectively play the roles of the people in the script and use logical reasoning.
, to analyze the truth of the case and find the culprit."
Kuroki Bearzhi understood for a few seconds that his expression management was out of control. What a great idea this is!
Using a real case as a template, players can be involved in the case. The murderer must find a way to escape guilt, and the innocent must defend himself. Experience Kogoro Mouri's experience of solving the case immersively. Just thinking about it will make him try.
desire!
What's more, the number of cases Mouri Kogoro has solved is too many. How many "scripts" can he produce? How many copies can he sell?
With the president's idea, the club's annual revenue will exceed 100 billion, and now comes the opportunity!
The R&D director with a powerful hairstyle looked at Ji Xing again with a pious look in his eyes: "President, under your leadership, the name of our club will surely be resounding throughout the world!"
Ji Xing shook his head and said with a smile: "Go and prepare, contact Mouri Kogoro. Oh, also, be sure to note that the names of those who have actually experienced the case should not be used in the script, and the details must be changed to a certain extent.
.”
"Yes, I understand!"
Kuroki Xiongzhi left with high energy.
Ji Xing let out a long breath.
There were probably only so many things he could think of, thanks to the fact that he was an experienced board game and script killer player before time travel.
Next...it depends on the hard work of everyone in the club to help him achieve complete financial freedom. Aso has already gone to help him select the site for the laboratory. The laboratory will be established soon. Each of those cutting-edge equipment may cost hundreds of millions or more.
One billion.
He glanced out the window and saw a black Porsche 356A parked on the opposite side of the street.
He raised an eyebrow, ignored it, put the two card templates into his pocket, and casually did 1,000 one-finger push-ups in the open space of the office to warm up.
On the other side, the phone number of the Mori Detective Agency was easy to get. When I returned to the office, Kuroki Kuashi made a call.
"Hello Moses, Moses, this is..."
He carefully explained the need for cooperation, but was interrupted by a drunken voice mid-sentence.
"What? What kind of club, cooperation? Stop lying, I am the famous detective Mouri Kogoro! If you dare to lie to me, I will arrest you..."
Toot, toot, toot...
The phone was hung up.
Kuroki Xiongzhi was silent for a long time.
Suddenly I really want to print this famous detective’s appearance on that ‘Confused Detective’ card...
