A few numbers flickered inside Chen Mos mind, becoming part of his mory. He could feel that his coding skills did improve a tiny bit.
Thats not so bad! Wouldnt consuming a hundred of these books an that my coding skills would be maxed out? A hundred of those just adds up to a hundred thousand RMB, what a great deal of rubbish! Thats just plain robbery!
Ten thousand to buy one point of Attribute! What am I, stupid?
Relax, relax
Its just small money. If I make a hot trendy ga, it could be raking in millions a month. Enough for to be spinning this wheel for a while.
Chen Mo consoled himself, continuously pressing the spin button at the sa ti.
Clack, green.
Clack, green!
Clack, green!!
Chen Mo was ready to throw a fit.
Four spins, four hundred thousand credits, 4 Designer Skill Books!
That was equivalent to four hundred thousand cash!
With only a hundred and ninety thousand credits left, he had enough for one last spin.
Of course, next to the wheel was a thoughtful top up web portal. Chen Mo opened it and closed it after looking at it for half a second.
Cash to credit ratio was 1:10. There werent any discounts, not even a first ti double credit bonus!
Just my luck, huh. Even QQ gas[1] have better luck.
If Chen Mo wanted to spend all his points, hed have to top-up another three thousand points, aning three hundred RMB. Currently, he was struggling to fill his stomach for another few days. Chen Mo was struggling to justify the three hundred RMB.
Last ti, Im giving up if nothing cos up. Worst case scenario, Ill just opt out of this competition, and design another one next month. Ill still get my D-grade certification
Gritting his teeth, Chen Mo hit spin one last ti.
Though he kept saying no, his body behaved otherwise. He could feel his heart jumping out of his chest and his hands trembling.
At this mont he understood what went through the hearts of n with gambling addictions. If it happened to be another green book, he was ready to jump off the balcony.
Clack, the wheel had stopped once again.
Purple area! Special Equipnt!
Chen Mo was shocked. Finally, hed been given a lifeline!
A chest had appeared on the screen. Chen Mo tried tapping it with his finger. The chest opened with a click, rays of golden light coming out of it.
Chen Mo glanced at the screen, which read Special Equipnt: Super Focuser.
It even had a description!
Super Focuser, one ti use. Duration: 10 minutes. After using, gather the attention of 500 people to any local. The effect starts imdiately after use and cannot be moved.
Chen Mo scratched his head, not quite understanding the current circumstances, reading the description again.
-I kind of understand, but this thing doesnt seem to have anything to do with video gas?-
Chen Mo thought for half a day, scratching his chin. The only use he had for this was during the competition, attracting the audience and the judges attention to his ga.
But then what?
The effect only lasts for ten minutes. Furthermore, it only attracted attention, it didnt change their opinions on his ga.
Forcing others to play his ga, especially when its not good, might make the situation worse!
Keep thinking, there has to be so way.
Chen Mo wasnt giving up. Wouldnt it be a great prank if he couldnt use his purple equipnt after trying so hard to get it?
Chen Mo now required a ga like this:
Not too complicated.
Resources are within 6MB.
The audience will love it after playing it for ten minutes.
Even if they dont love it, it should at least make a long-lasting impression.
There has to be sothing special to get people to talk about. It was the only way to win first place in the video ga design competition!
It seems like this impossible task wasnt so impossible for after all. Luckily, Ive had a lot of experience in my previous life, and seen all types of gas.
Alright, lets get to work!
With a new target in mind, Chen Mo once again sat in front of his laptop and launched the video ga engine.
Originally an impossible task, but now with the Super Focuser, this task now had a sliver of hope. Furthermore, it was a rather big sliver.
Of course, before starting, Chen Mo consud the rest of the green tech books first: three Coding books and one Level Design book.
It probably wasnt doing much, but better have it than not!
The video ga engine wasnt hard to use at all. It took Chen Mo no ti to get used to it.
After downloading the remaining 6MB of resources, Chen Mo started writing the design docunt. As the ga wasnt big, the docunt only required a few hundred words.
Resource usage was minimal, mostly utilizing the free shared resources on the engine, which were usable after a few small tweaks.
The foundation of the ga was finished within the night. The next day, after he woke up, Chen Mo added so simple networking and leaderboards to the ga, and considered it done.
After finishing, Chen Mo did so testing. The ga felt similar to his work in his previous life.
After making an installation package, Chen Mo submitted the ga to the competition officials. As to whether the ga would gain any recognition, hed only find out on the day of the competition.
On the day of the competition
Chen Mo put on his only suit, readying himself to attend the video ga design competition
The Imperial Capital was usually quite hot in August. Chen Mo felt stupid in formal wear. Fortunately the venue was air-conditioned, cooling him down after a short ti.
Under the guidance of the officials, the judges, competitors, and audience were led to their seats in an orderly manner. The preparations for the competition were underway, all that was left was for the competition to start.
It wasnt a small audience, with at least six hundred people.
This competition was no ordinary competition: not only was there a live broadcast and full recording of the event, but they had also managed to invite three fairly famous video ga designers as the judges.
The prizes for the competition werent small, either. The first place would receive three hundred thousand RMB for video ga research and developnt, a D-grade video ga designer certificate, and a personal video ga experience store.
Not much needed to be said about the three hundred thousand RMB. The most attractive part was the last prize, a personal video ga experience store!
Video ga experience stores were places where video ga designers displayed their works: a gallery. Video ga experience stores ca in various sizes; SSS-grade video ga designers had entire towers for their video ga experience store. Sotis it beca a cca of gars, sowhere they must visit once in their lives.
In terms of layout, video ga experience stores were like internet cafes, but served a different function.
Experience stores werent for profit. First, they mainly served as a workplace for designers. Second, they were a platform for the ga designers to interact with the gars..
Gars who co to experience stores have opportunities to speak with the designers, to give suggestions and test out their latest creations. Once the designer thinks the ga is about done, the ga will then be released.
Of course, testing can be done online in the form of alphas, but the designers in this world preferred using experience stores. As everyone in their store was a tangible, personable human, it filled the designers with ideas.
As such, experience stores had slowly beco the symbols of a video ga designer. A video ga designer without their own experience store was a designer that was looked down on.
Chen Mo also knew the value of an experience store. If he wanted to open a store on his own, the money he would spend on rent wouldnt be small, not to ntion equipnt, none of which he could afford as of now.
Therefore, Chen Mo had to grab hold of the opportunity when it ca!
