This is a new story, telling what happened after Lin Xiao traveled through time.
Yangcheng, an ordinary apartment.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Lin Xiao was sitting in front of the computer desktop, looking blank.
Originally, he was playing games at home, but suddenly he became dizzy and lost consciousness.
When he woke up again, he appeared in this strange apartment.
After being in a daze for a while, Lin Xiao slowly came back to his senses, and there happened to be a computer in front of him.
He took a quick look and saw a pop-up web page news on the screen.
"Yanhua Country will celebrate its 300th anniversary this year."
"The official game platform is holding a flight shooting mini-game competition. The first prize is 30,000 yuan. Game designers with dreams are welcome to participate."
"What the hell is this?" Lin Xiao couldn't calm down and couldn't help but guess, "Is it possible that I encountered the legendary time travel?"
Immediately afterwards, many memories emerged in his mind.
Lin Xiao discovered that he had really traveled through time, and that he had traveled through time to a parallel world.
This world is 90% similar to the earth Lin Xiao is familiar with.
It's just that the Chinese dynasty here, called Yanhua Kingdom, is so powerful that basically the entire Asia is its territory.
As for Lin Xiao herself, after graduating from college, she worked for a year and then joined the entrepreneurial army with great fanfare.
He chose the gaming industry and made an independent game, but lost everything.
It seems that he didn't think too well, he didn't sleep all night, and he died suddenly under great pressure.
Lin Xiao could only express his condolences.
In addition, Lin Xiao's parents are still alive and his friends in his previous life are also well, which makes him relieved.
After all, most time travelers have two curses on them.
Article 1: Automatically join the orphanage.
The second point is that the appearance should be ordinary like that of Gu Wu, otherwise it will affect the reader's mood.
Fortunately, Lin Xiao broke the convention and only got the second curse.
After calming down, Lin Xiao quickly accepted the matter of time travel.
In his previous life, he lived to the age of 26 and worked nine to five at work every day, living a very peaceful life.
If nothing else, there should be few disturbances in my life from now on.
But now that we have encountered time travel, this is a great thing.
Experience life again, maybe you can make up for your regrets.
"So, what should I do now?" Lin Xiao was thinking about it, when suddenly a voice sounded in his mind.
"Ding, the system is on."
Lin Xiao was stunned at first, then overjoyed.
Sure enough, there are benefits to traveling through time. He has read this thousands of times in novels.
Then, Lin Xiao saw a blue light curtain appear in front of him, with many messages appearing on it, and the fonts were very clear.
"It seems that I am also going to join the Youka clan."
Lin Xiao complained and looked carefully
[Name: Super money-losing system].
[Function: Lin Xiao Every once in a while, the system will provide the host with a certain amount of funds.
2Based on the host’s interest detection, the funds can only be used for commercial activities in the ACG field such as games and animations, and cannot be squandered at will.”
3Settlement will be carried out after a period of time, and every penny the host loses in business activities within the rules will be returned to the personal property according to the ratio of Lin Xiao: Lin Xiao.
Every penny of surplus can only be converted into the host’s personal property at a ratio of Lin Xiao to Lin Xiao 00.”
[Current profit: 0]
[Current loss: 0]
[The surplus conversion ratio is Lin Xiao00:Lin Xiao, and the loss conversion ratio is Lin Xiao:Lin Xiao]
[System funds: 80000]
[Personal property: 500]
[Click next to view detailed rules]"
"Losing money is equal to making money, and there is this kind of operation"
Lin Xiao's eyes shone with excitement, he already understood the function of this system.
Personal property, of course, is money that he can use freely, and he can spend it however he wants.
The system funds are equivalent to the system's investment in Lin Xiao. He can only use this funds for commercial activities in the CG field such as making games and animations.
For example, Lin Xiao spent 80,000 yuan of system funds to create a game, but it failed and only earned 10,000 yuan.
Then the loss of 70,000 yuan can be used as a reward and converted into his personal property.
The only fly in the ointment is that if you make money, it will be the conversion of Lin Xiao00 to Lin Xiao.
After Lin Xiao's w block surplus is converted, the reward Lin Xiao will receive is Lin Xiao's 00 block.
However, this is not a problem. As we all know, it is too difficult to make money by starting a business, but there are countless people who have failed and lost money.
"The conscience system has nothing to say."
Lin Xiao gave a thumbs up and looked at the detailed rules happily. [Rule Lin Xiao: Don’t be passive and slack in work, you must create a project that has a certain value and meets the investment price. 】
[Rule 2: It is not allowed to recruit employees, purchase company office supplies, rent space, etc. at prices much higher than the market price.]
[Rule 3: The host shall not reveal the existence of this system and settlement tasks in any way, nor may it cause others to suspect it. 】
[Rule 4: All interpretation rights belong to the system. If the host takes any illegal actions in the future, it will be reminded. 】
After reading these rules, Lin Xiao did not panic at all. Although there were restrictions, it was not a big problem. He only needed to lose money within the rules.
Then, the last message was displayed on the light screen: "Ding, the initial settlement task has started. [The host is invited to participate in the flying shooting mini-game competition held on the official platform.]
[Profit and loss settlement time: two weeks later.].”
"It's not difficult at all." Looking at the tasks issued by the system, Lin Xiao felt a little inflated.
Because others participate in the competition to win, but he participates in the competition to lose money. Starting with the goal of losing from the beginning is equivalent to becoming invincible.
Moreover, I have experience in my previous life. I know that games that are popular and lose money can be regarded as some ac numbers. Don’t be too easy to avoid games that can make money perfectly.
Lin Xiao is full of confidence. He feels that it is time to make a lot of money so that he can live a happy salty life.
For example, if you want to play games and spend 80,000 kryptons, you can become a strong player.
If you like any anime figure peripherals, buy them.
You can travel wherever you want, freely.
"Well, I will first understand the game environment in this world so that I can design a money-losing game."
Taking a deep breath to calm down her mood, Lin Xiao opened the Creation Editor on her computer.
This is a software commonly used in this parallel world, and its main function is to design games.
As long as game designers use the Genesis Editor according to certain rules, they can create the game they want without programming.
In addition, the Yanhua Kingdom in this world is quite supportive of the development of entertainment industries such as games.
The official has a rating system and game platform, as well as the most important game resource station, which collects all kinds of necessary materials needed to design games.
For example, art resources, program templates, character models, music and sound effects, action modules, game dubbing, etc.
What is very convenient is that you can also contact industry experts here to communicate, discuss business, and customize various resources.
From the Genesis Editor, you can click on the official platform and game resource site
Lin Xiao directly logged into the official game platform and checked it a little. He found that although it was a parallel world, the game was almost up to par with the level of the previous life.
It's just that the popular games are different, there are not those that I am familiar with.
But there are many games similar to CS and multi-towers. However, there are no popular and best-selling flight shooting games on the entire homepage, and even the competition area only has dozens of games.
"So that's it. Flight shooting games are an unpopular project and there aren't many players at all. It's really great."
Lin Xiao's thinking is very strange. Others design games hoping to have a large audience of players, but he thinks it is best to have no players at all.
"The situation is clear. I just need to make a flight shooting game that is incredibly difficult and will drive players away to the AX level.
As a result, the original player base is not large, and very few people buy this game. Even if someone is lucky enough to buy my game, they will be so difficult that they will get a refund."
"If everything goes well, all 80,000 yuan will be converted into my personal property, that's it!"
Following this line of thinking, Lin Xiao thought for a while and finally made a decision.
He opened the design draft document in the Creation Editor and entered the name of the game he wanted to make: "Eastern Monster Dream".
Yes, this is the famous Touhou series of fan games. It can also be regarded as a flight shooting game.
It’s just that the game is notoriously difficult and is known as barrage hell.
In the game, players have to face a screen full of light bombs, and can only operate the character to dodge through small gaps.
Generally speaking, the most correct operation for players with disabled hands to play this game is to take their hands off the keyboard.
Of course, players in previous lives had another option, which was to lower the difficulty and play the easiest difficulty directly, and they could still enjoy the game.
Lin Xiao knew this very well. He was prepared to lose money, so how could he let players play the game easily?
Therefore, he wanted to design "Eastern Demon Dream" to have an EX level of difficulty from the beginning, and the difficulty could never be lowered.
At this difficulty level, the projectiles of mobs and bosses are extremely fast, the gaps for dodging are very small, and the operation difficulty is extremely high.
In the previous life, most players couldn't even get past the miscellaneous soldiers.
It doesn't matter if there are more powerful players in this world who insist on seeing the boss.
After the player defeats one of them after all the hard work, there are four more powerful bosses waiting for him.
I believe that once the gorgeous spell cards of the oriental girls are released, the players will definitely fall into despair.
Maybe, some grumpy old guys will pop up, give the game a Lin Xiaoxing name, and at the same time make waves in the comment area, and sales will naturally drop.
"Well, as long as this game tortures them to the point of doubting their lives, I believe players will never buy the second game I designed in the future.
The foundation for losing money in the future has been laid.”
"Maybe, I'm very talented at losing money."
After writing down the core design concept, Lin Xiao showed a bright smile on his face, "Perfect, 80,000 yuan, I will definitely lose!"
After spending a while, Lin Le finished writing the game design draft.
After all, "Double Dream" was originally a game of less than 300b. Apart from modifying the difficulty, Lin Le basically copied it in other aspects.
With the goal clear, Lin Lezi entered the official resource site to purchase the necessary resources for making games.
In this world with advanced technology, game resources in all aspects are not only of better quality, but also much cheaper.
However, as the saying goes, nothing is as good as cheap, so Lin Le directly chose the cheapest grade for the program templates, UI interface, gameplay system and other basic programs of "Dream of the East", spending a total of 30,000 yuan.
Lin Le decided to spend the remaining 50,000 on important projects such as customizing the game’s art resources, character models, music and sound effects.
After searching on the resource site, Lin Le saw a game outsourcing company called Peiqian.
"Peiqian pays for it? What a wonderful name."
Lin Le happily went in and checked the other party's details.
"Well, it's a new company that has only been established for less than a month. It shouldn't be very reliable in its work. That's it."
Lin Le contacted the person in charge, Wang Yuan, through the chat software in the resource station and directly explained his purpose.
"Hello, I would like to customize some game resources in your company."
"Dear guest, thank you for choosing our company. Please provide us with your detailed requirements."
"Hold on."
Lin Le opened the document and wrote a list of requirements.
【Character Model】: Reimu.
Modeling requirements: The shrine maiden of Hakurei Shrine is dressed in a sleeveless shrine maiden costume that exposes her shoulders and armpits. The clothes are mainly red and white. She has black hair with a huge bow on her head and bows on her temples.
For convenience, Lin Le drew a simple line drawing based on memory.
His predecessor was an independent game producer. Although he failed in making games, he had good painting skills, which Lin Le also inherited.
There is no difficulty in drawing line drawings.
After drawing Reimu's line drawing, Lin Le continued to complete the other main characters, including the black and white witch Marisa, the foodie Yuyuko, the garden teacher Youmu, the idiot Cirno, etc.
There were less than ten characters in total. It took Lin Le more than an hour to prepare the demand list and immediately sent it to Wang Yuan.
"I only have a total of 50,000 yuan here. Please give me the most cost-effective one."
Lin Le went straight to the topic.
Wang Yuan on the other side was very enthusiastic: "No problem, our company's business skills are quite skilled and we guarantee your satisfaction."
Lin Le frowned when he saw this sentence, but he immediately realized that the other party was just selling melons and bragging, which is understandable.
Later, after a pleasant exchange, Lin Le negotiated with Wang Yuan.
Fifty thousand yuan, a simple resource package.
It includes scene art, music and sound effects, character models, game CG, etc., all of which will be completed according to Lin Le's design needs.
It takes three days for Peiqian Company to prepare the customized resources.
"The rest is just waiting for me to get customized resources so that I can make games."
Lin Le happily closed the creation editor, wrote design documents, and purchased game resources. He had been busy for less than three hours. He felt that because of his perfunctory attitude, the game would definitely be cooled at the speed of light after it was released.
When the settlement comes two weeks later and you get the 80,000 yuan, how will you spend it?
Huh? It turns out that this is the trouble of rich people.
Peiqian Game Outsourcing Company.
"Brothers, our company has been open for a week and we can finally start work."
"Customized game resources worth 50,000 yuan each."
Wang Yuan received the business, and his face turned red with excitement.
There is no way, there are really too many game outsourcing companies in the resource site, and the competition pressure is terrible.
Peiqian Company, including him, has a total of four employees.
They have no reputation and no money for advertising, except for their love for games.
But these have no effect, and few people come to customize resources.
These days, Wang Yuan was very worried.
After all, everything is difficult at the beginning.
But now, he feels that the situation has turned for the better.
“It’s only such a small amount of money.”
Employee Xiao Zhou muttered with disappointment.
The morale of the other two people was also low.
Seeing this, Wang Yuan encouraged him with excitement: "The money is not much, but as long as this first game resource is ready, if the customer's designed game becomes popular, our company's reputation will be established."
No matter how bad it is, we may have more confidence if we have some works and hang them on the company’s homepage.”
"That makes sense. If we, a small company, want to compete with big companies, we must seize every opportunity."
Everyone on Little Wednesday was ignited with enthusiasm.
"Okay, this time we must strive for excellence and maximize our resources."
Wang Yuan waved his hand and distributed the work with enthusiasm.
Three days passed by in a flash.
During this period of time, Lin Le, who was free, played games and chased after each other every day, and lived a very leisurely life.
"Mr. Lin, your customized game resources have been prepared. Please accept them."
At 9 o'clock in the morning, Lin Le opened the editor on his computer, and sure enough he received a message from Peiqian Company.
He clicked to receive the resource, and it was transmitted in less than ten seconds.
Lin Le opened the resource package and checked it at will.
The first CG picture of the game shows the foodie Yuyuko with a flawless smile on her face, playing under a cherry blossom tree with several cute white ghosts beside her.
Pink hair is blown by the wind, and cherry blossom petals are flying in the air. The simple painting style makes the picture refreshing and clean, naturally revealing a sense of aesthetics.
"Why is the CG quality so high?" Lin Le rubbed his eyes and looked back in disbelief, only to find that the next few pictures had their own merits, no less than the first CG.
Lin Le felt that his bright future with money was instantly cast into a shadow.
"The rhythm is wrong. Won't other resources also suffer?" Lin Le's heart trembled and he quickly clicked on the character model.
What comes into view is Reimu. Not only is it high-definition, but it is also full of details. It looks like a hand model with a price of up to 9999, which perfectly interprets the charming style of the red and white miko.
The subsequent models of Yuyuko, Youmu and others are also equally impressive.
Lin Le knew the results of the rest without looking at it. Lin Le was immediately furious and immediately contacted Peiqian Company. The keyboard clicked loudly: "Mr. Wang, didn't I buy a simple package?"
"Since you are our first guest, this is our surprise for you." Wang Yuan replied.
Damn, this is not a surprise, this is a shock!
Lin Le was speechless. Although he attacked aggressively, he was still calm.
Because the system rules prevent Lin Le from arousing anyone’s suspicion.
Therefore, he cannot lose his temper with Wang Yuan.
For a moment, Lin Le didn't know what to say to the other party.
Seeing that Lin Le didn't reply for a long time, Wang Yuan thought he was embarrassed.
"Mr. Lin, you don't have to think too much. This is the fate between us. I am here to wish your game a success."
Seeing this news, Lin Le gritted his teeth. Is this guy still doing last-ditch damage?
Resisting the thought of transforming into a Zuan, Lin Le typed out two words: "Thank you."
"Now that things have happened, we can only make mistakes if we make mistakes."
After calming down, Lin Le felt that there was still hope for rescue.
After all, the gameplay of "Touhou Youyoumu" is still very discouraging. Since the game's cg is very good-looking, all the adjustments can only be obtained after clearing the game.
As for the models, all characters can only be unlocked two weeks after clearing the level.
Players have been clearly arranged in the early stage, so there is no chance for them to experience this.
"Well, with this design, the problem is solved."
Lin Le breathed a sigh of relief immediately.
"K, let's start making games directly!"
The Genesis game editor is powerful. For example, "Eastern Demon Dream" is a small game. Lin Le only needs to insert the game resources, materials, and templates, arrange and modify the details, and basically it can be produced very quickly.
Finish.
So by noon, Lin Le's first game was designed.
For the first time, Lin Le opened the game and tested it.
They are obviously a group of miscellaneous soldiers, but they can fire out light bombs that fill the screen and chase the protagonist Reimu he controls.
After playing for less than 2 minutes, he was defeated.
Lin Le is satisfied with the incredible difficulty of "Dream of the East".
"Sure, such a torturous game is destined to be ignored by no one." "Maybe some players bought it. After being tortured, they will never buy the second game I made again. It seems that they have even laid the foundation for losing money in the future.
alright."
"Why didn't you realize that I'm talented at losing money before?" Lin Le showed a pleasant smile, directly put "Dream of the East" on the official game platform, and clicked to participate in the flight shooting game competition.
Suddenly the doorbell rang loudly outside the house.
Lin Le ran over to open the door, and what came into view was a beautiful girl. She was about twenty years old, with typical long straight black hair, and was wearing a white dress. She looked pure and cute.
The girl's name is Liu Li. She was Lin Le's schoolgirl in college and Lin Le's rare friend. The same was true in her previous life.
Seeing the familiar girl, Lin Le felt very cordial and said with a smile: "Junior sister, long time no see. Did you come to see me for something?"
"Well, I heard that your business was not going well. I happened to have some free time, so I came to check on the situation." Liu Li looked at Lin Le for a few times and said in a worried tone, "Are you okay with your mental state?"
Before she came here, she heard that Lin Le had lost all his pants by working on independent games. Now that she saw that he was not discouraged, but looked very proud, she couldn't help but feel even more worried.
"Hey, thank you for your concern. Failure is the mother of success. I'm doing very well now."
Lin Le raised his eyebrows, smiled, and greeted warmly: "Come on, let's talk in the house if you have anything to say."
