Chapter 59: Chapter 58: An Abnormal Design Docunt!
Translated by Coldtaco

What was interesting was that the less a player wanted to spend on a ga, the more they cared about the free resources the ga gave!
-You can’t make any progress? Don’t worry, I’ll give you so diamonds. Just log in today, and I’ll give you a hundred diamonds. After you beat N number of levels, I’ll give you another five hundred, and when you get to level thirty, I’ll give...-
These players would attempt to convert the resources into actual currency.
You wanna give up? That ans you’re losing money every day!
At that point, a large portion of players would continue playing just because of the potential money lost.
Many people would think that the players would only do that if they were poor. If they were wealthy, they wouldn’t be enticed by small amounts of money like that.
That was completely wrong!
The willingness of a player to spend money only had to do with their personality, and a large amount of players cared about their earnings in gas.
Chen Mo had seen wealthy people like that first hand in his previous life. They could’ve spent hundreds of thousands in the ga, but they still cared about the few hundred daily bonus diamonds.
When these players were only playing the ga because of the free resources the ga provided, they had subconsciously accepted that it was pay to win, and the relationship between the in-ga equipnt, diamonds, and real currency.
After that, this batch of players who didn’t want to spend any money might turn into spending players when a promotional period ca.
From the first top-up, to monthly mbership, to lifeti mbership, to the first large top-up, they would start to spend more and more money.
It wasn’t a problem if they didn’t convert imdiately, and even if certain players insisted on never spending money, at least they could play alongside paying players, which would also be good for the ga.
The company also welcod those players who don’t spend a single cent. If you can’t support financially, morally works too!
Of course, the third type of joy was built on the previous two. The player must recognize the ga and its contents before they were willing to beco a slave to Ivan Pavlov’s thods and spend money on virtual cards and winning virtual battles.

Planning the foundation of the ga took Chen Mo two days. Afterwards, he started working on the docunt for the rules. Including the refinents, the whole process took a week.
This was similar to the amount of ti Plants vs Zombies took. Although Chinese mobile card gas might seem simple, they had a lot of minute details, which took a lot of ti.
Of course, he had also been working on the original artwork for the cards at the sa ti. There were a large number of cards, but Chen Mo didn’t need to finish them all at once. He would just work alongside the art company, so it wouldn’t take up too much of his ti.
Other than that, Chen Mo had also spent so ti checking on the progress for the art and animation production. Guo Feng would be sending the first episode of the series to Chen Mo by the coming weekend.

After finishing all the design docunts, Chen Mo asked Su Jinyu to enter everything into the video ga engine to produce the starting product for I Am MT.
Su Jinyu and Wen Lingwei had finished four drawings each. Chen Mo could tell that their artistic skills were quite good, as the details were comparable to the originals.
Of course, so details weren’t exactly the sa with the ones from his previous life, but that didn’t matter, as minute details like that didn’t play a big part.
Su Jinyu downloaded the design docunt sent over by Chen Mo.
Chen Mo said, “All the design docunts are there, all that’s left are the numbers and level design, as well as the attributes of cards and the overall construction. Enter the rules into the ga engine for now; we can add the rest at a later ti.”
Su Jinyu was shocked, “All the design docunts? You finished it in a week?!”
Of course she was surprised, it took her two weeks to finish the two features Chen Mo assigned her for the update for Plants vs Zombies, but he managed to write out the design docunt for a ga in a week!
This work efficiency was superhuman!
Chen Mo continued blandly, “Take a look at the design docunt and ask if there’s anything you don’t understand. I’ll be working on the numbers and level design.”
—
After giving her another few pointers, Chen Mo retreated back to his office.
Su Jinyu was very curious as she opened Chen Mo’s design docunt. What type of ga would he be using for such an important wager?
Chen Mo had previously ordered so cards to be drawn and had contacted an animation company. What was he planning? What did an animation company have to do with ga production?
So far, Su Jinyu had no clue what Chen Mo was planning to do.
Wen Lingwei, Jia Peng, and the others gathered around to take a look.
Wen Lingwei leaned onto the bar table and said, “I’m actually quite curious as to what the manager has planned for his next ga.”
Jia Peng said, “Ahem, senior, do you really understand what the design docunt is saying?”
Wen Lingwei gave him a cold glance, “So what if I don’t understand? Goldfish, explain it to .”
Su Jinyu was speechless...
—
They went through one design docunt after another.
UI.
Basic combat.
Daily quests....
Su Jinyu’s uncertainty didn’t decrease at all during this process. In reality, it actually went up.
After closing the last design docunt, Su Jinyu was completely confused.
“That’s it? That’s all? Isn’t that a bit too simple? The contents of this ga don’t even co close to Plants vs Zombies!” Su Jinyu exclaid.
Wen Lingwei scowled, “What’s wrong? Can you explain what the ga looks like?”
Jia Peng wiped his sweat off his forehead, “Although I don’t really understand what’s going on, but... I feel that the design docunt doesn’t have much in it. Isn’t the content on the lower side?”
Su Jinyu opened the design docunt for combat and looked through the combat rules again.
On the vertical mobile screen, the player and the enemy will take up six tiles each (might be slightly different on boss rounds), attacking in order...
Su Jinyu read over the combat rules again.
“Yeah, that’s it! Isn’t this too simple? This doesn’t compare to Plants vs Zombies!”
Su Jinyu couldn’t believe her eyes, and found it hard to believe that Chen Mo would give her such a lacking design docunt.
Plants vs Zombies was a real-ti ga, but the new ga sohow devolved back into turn-based!
Furthermore, combat could be summarized as a bunch of cards fighting. Other than moving around the cards, the player didn’t need to perform any other actions!
Such a simple ga...
Su Jinyu couldn’t imagine what the combat would look like, but felt like she needed to unsee it. A bunch of cards brawling? Could the idea be any dumber?
Moreover, what is this VIP system?
V12 required five million runes?
The exchange rate was one RMB for ten runes, that ant that V12 required fifty thousand RMB?!
Five zero zero zero zero RMB!
Su Jinyu didn’t understand what the aning of that was; who would spend fifty thousand RMB in a ga?
How many nice als could you afford with that amount of money?!
How many articles of clothing?!
How many movies?!
How many gadgets?!
How could there be anyone who would be willing to spend fifty thousand RMB on a ga like this?!
Moreover, look at the VIP privileges!
Increase the limit of daily purchases, improve leadership, increase the number of tis you can play in various ga modes! There was even a VIP gift package!
And what was this top-up bonus, why would there be cards in the top-up bonus? Topping-up twenty thousand runes for an exclusive Elder Sister card!
Two thousand RMB, that was just robbery!
Su Jinyu only had one thought in her mind looking through the design docunts: WTF?
“Manager, although you’re betting on inco, but... this ploy to make money is too obvious!
“No... I must ask him and find out what’s going on!”
Su Jinyu went upstairs.
Jia Peng looked at Wen Lingwei, and she looked back at him.
“What do we do, senior?” asked Jia Peng.
Wen Lingwei replied, “Who knows? Let’s just pretend nothing happened and go back to our own lives. Don’t ddle with sothing if you don’t know it’s full extent, let Goldfish do the arguing with the manager.”
Jia Peng was speechless.
How can you be so content with this?!
