NFBE Chapter 22 What does it mean to advance again?
Chapter 22 What does it mean to advance again?
The National Day holiday, which included the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, came to an end quickly.
The Plants vs. Zombies livestream event is still in the preliminary stages.
As for Tang She, aside from dealing with his senior's affairs on Mid-Autumn Festival and during the day the following day, he spent all his remaining time at the orphanage with the children.
However, happy times are always short-lived, and Tang She will have to go back to work tomorrow.
But Tang She was in a good mood, after all, he had lost a lot of money in the game.
Both Plants vs. Zombies and Three Kingdoms Kill look like they're about to die.
Because Plants vs. Zombies has a shorter development cycle, its settlement time is also shorter than that of Three Kingdoms Kill.
Two weeks have passed in the blink of an eye, including the week before the holiday and the week of the National Day holiday.
Tang She originally planned to go to the company the next morning to watch it, but the children at the orphanage insisted that he tell them a story. By the time he had put the children to sleep, it was almost midnight.
He decided to wait until the bill was settled before going to sleep, since it wouldn't make a difference if he didn't go to sleep a little longer.
The last time he checked the data, Plants vs. Zombies had sold a little over 12,000 copies, generating a revenue of just over 700,000 yuan. After deducting the platform's share, the amount that should have reached Tangren Company's account was a little over 350,000 yuan, but less than 370,000 yuan. Tang She would only receive 120,000 to 130,000 yuan.
It's not a small amount by any measure.
Time passed slowly, and as the hour and minute hands overlapped once more, the text on the system's light screen changed.
[Congratulations, host, on your successful advancement.]
What kind of thing advanced?
Didn't you only sell 12,000 copies? How did you advance?
As if sensing Tang She's doubts, the text changed again, and the system listed the income details.
Online sales: 12,069 units (700,000.02 yuan).
[Livestream event copyright fee: 300,000 yuan.]
Total: One million and two yuan.
[Estimated sales amount for this transaction: One million.]
[Actual sales amount: One million and two yuan.]
[Congratulations, host, on your successful advancement.]
No, I've been set up by capital?
Where did the 300,000 yuan in copyright fees for the live streaming event come from?
Tang She originally wanted to call his senior to ask, but it was too late now, so he decided to check out what was going on with the live streaming platform first.
When you open the CatShark app, the original splash screen GG has been replaced by a very familiar flag-raising zombie in the mini-game.
Without a doubt, this was that live-streaming event. Tang She clicked on it, the screen switched, and then two more options appeared.
The upper half of the screen is occupied by a regular zombie, while the lower half is occupied by a regular pea shooter.
Tang She clicked on the icon, and the event information appeared before his eyes.
Dr. Zombie King's mission.
活动时间20xx年10月08日0时至20xx年10月22日20时。
After a prolonged and unsuccessful siege of the garden, Dr. Zombie King was exhausted and had no choice but to decide to utilize the wisdom of the zombies and put you in charge of the attack!
Event Rules: During the event, use the Plants vs. Zombies level generator to create a map and upload it to the game. Players will vote on your map.
The eight maps with the most votes will be used in the second phase of the event, and the creators of these eight maps will receive a cash prize of 100,000 yuan per map.
Tang She subconsciously scrolled down, and a new activity appeared before his eyes.
Crazy Dave's warning.
活动时间：20xx年10月23日0时至20xx年10月31日22时。
Dave sensed the danger and warned you. How did he sense it? Probably because the dish on his head could act as an antenna.
Event Rules: Challenge yourself with the highest difficulty levels. The ten players with the highest scores at the end of the event will receive a total cash prize of one million yuan.
Click to view the event level scoring rules.
Tang She felt a sudden dizziness.
When did the young lady assign him this task?
How come he knew nothing about it?
However, there is some good news as well.
Tang She began to "comfort himself" again.
Although we received 300,000 yuan in live streaming rights fees, the company still has to pay out 1.8 million yuan in bonuses.
If only a game that's expensive enough comes along at this time...
It definitely can!
Come on, system! Let me see what you're capable of!
[Game draw in progress...]
Kill the Spire Rating: 9.8
[Darkest Dungeon 2 Rating: 8.4]
[Pokémon Bright Pearl Rating: 7.0]
No, why are the ratings getting higher and higher?
From two points at the beginning, to four points, to now seven points.
So you're not even going to act anymore, huh?
Tang She was really on the verge of a breakdown.
The soaring blood pressure made his vision blur and his head spin. Luckily, he was lying in bed, or he would have definitely collapsed to the ground.
After taking a few deep breaths to alleviate his discomfort, Tang She opened his eyes and began to analyze the three games in front of him.
First of all, Slay the Spire sounds like a hack-and-slash game. Such games have a high skill floor and a low skill ceiling, so achieving a score of 9.8 proves that this game is a groundbreaking masterpiece.
Then there's Darkest Dungeon 2.
Plants vs. Zombies: Replant Edition taught Tang She a lesson.
It's supposed to be a remake, but they're releasing the original content.
Tang She reasonably suspects that the design proposal has been beautified by the system and is not the original design proposal for the game.
Therefore, blindly choosing the second generation will only result in a game that is pieced together from all the advantages of the first and second generations.
Now we can only choose Pokémon.
Although this game sounds like it's a multi-generational game.
But this is clearly a game for children.
All we need to do is set the price high enough that even children can't afford it.
After going over his decision in his mind again and finding no problems, Tang She finally chose Pokémon Bright Pearl.
Current development team: 30 people. Estimated investment: 35-37 million. Currently under evaluation...
[Pokémon Bright Pearl Development Period: 100 days. Estimated Sales Revenue: 120 million. System Settlement Time: 30 days.]
Upon seeing this data, Tang She, who had been looking sickly, instantly perked up.
This game is expensive enough and requires a lot of manpower!
As for Three Kingdoms Kill and Plants vs. Zombies, they can't really just ignore it. When the company is short-staffed, they'll definitely have to recruit more people.
This will definitely accelerate the collapse of the company's financial chain.
With the disappearance of the system, a brand new project proposal, twice as thick as the previous two proposals stacked together, was dumped on Tang She's head.
This hurts way more than any phone taking a picture of your face.
However, he didn't complain. Instead, he decided to open the proposal and see what its features were.
The very first sentence left him speechless.
"Pokémon is the world's number one IP."
What does it mean to have the world's number one IP?
How can a game with the world's number one IP only have a 7.0 rating?!
