Chapter 27: Failure to Make a Loss!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Congratulations! Your ga, Ghost General, has reached the most popular new ga of the month recomndation spot. Please do not update the ga’s version in the near future or any unknown bugs may affect the ga experience...”
Pei Qian felt his heart die at the sight of the ssage.
Again! Yet again!
Trouble always ca in pairs – it was a chain reaction!
In reality, be it for The Lonely Desert Road or Ghost General, their popularity all stemd from unassumingly small actions.
The Lonely Desert Road got popular because Teacher Qiao made a dissing video while Ghost General was because Ruan Guangjian had posted his original arts within the circle of artists.
If it was just that, the consequences would not have been so dire.
After all, the people affected by those actions were only a minority.
The gas would have continued disappearing into oblivion if their popularities had not continued on.
However, the main reason why Pei Qian suffered so badly was due to ESRO’s automatic recomndation system!
ESRO’s official platform would compare the figures between gas that were uploaded at the sa ti period and those with better results would obtain better recomndation spots.
It was the sa case for both gas – the small unassuming actions had caused the figures to blow up such that the platform recognized them as concrete figures before pushing the gas up the recomndation spots.
From there on, due to the gas’ intrinsic qualities, they climbed even further after being pushed up the recomndation spots...
That way, the entire status quo blew out of proportion!
Right now, Ghost General was at a crazy spot in the gas section – most popular new ga of the month. With that title claid, the download figures were imnse!
Coupled with the high ratings of Ghost General and the acclaid comnts in the reviews section...
It was an unimaginable outco!
Pei Qian did not even dare to check out the figures on the back end out of fear that he might be further despaired.
In fact, he wished that he could beg the platform to stop pushing his ga up the recomndation spot!
However, he could not do that.
The platform’s recomndations worked automatically based on figures and besides, if he did that, it would be considered a violation and he would be warned by the system.
It was then that Pei Qian truly understood the aning of the statent...
At tis, a man may have no choice at all!
...
Standing alone at the rooftop of the dormitory, Pei Qian was filled with emotions.
He did not want to daze around the dormitory because it was almost ti for settlent and he was afraid Ma Yang may end up hearing his sobs.
The screen of the system appeared in front of Pei Qian and once again, it was ti for the Wealth Conversion System’s settlent.
Looking at those figures, Pei Qian felt a little suicidal.
He had not imagined that card gas would be so profitable!
Amongst the 500,000 a portion of it was the ongoing inco from The Lonely Desert Road. After all, that ga was still operating and the accumulated inco from its 1 yuan price was rather impressive still.
However, it was still only a small portion.
Most of the inco ca from Ghost General!
Pei Qian made a rough calculation using his rudintary mathematical skills.
Within a week, Ghost General’s net profit was around 500,000 – that ant that the gross was around 1,000,000.
Co the following week, the inco would only surge higher as gars continued gushing in while the ga’s popularity climbed even further.
Even if the ga would not earn much in the future since there wasn’t any paywalls within it, it was a huge market that they were dealing with and it would take around three months at least for the ga’s popularity to die off!
Based on the figures, it was extrely likely for the ga’s month gross to hit above 5,000,000!
Even though that was a normal figure for a mobile ga, it would still be a rather handso profit for a small company with less than 30 employees.
However, it was different for Pei Qian – he was the only one working on the ga from the very beginning!
Ma Yang was only drawing a 3,000 monthly salary and had only helped with the requirent form. Pei Qian was the one who had purchased all the templates and art resources which rely added up to 300,000.
Not only would the ga recoup all its cost in its first week, it would even net in a profit of 200,000!
The figures weren’t extrely exaggerated but they still had Pei Qian feeling despondent!
And the worst thing was that Ghost General would continue to generate inco for Pei Qian in the future!
After all, Qute Three Kingdoms was still popular after running for an entire year...
‘What would that imply?’
It ant that even if Pei Qian were to try with his might to lose money in the future, he might not be able to lose everything completely!
In the months to co, the System Funds would receive a stable monthly deposit. However, the system determined losses based on the initial System Funds!
Take the settlent this ti round for example, the system had an extrely simple way of calculating profit loss – it would just make a comparison between the final System Funds and the initial 300,000 where anything above it would be considered a profit and vice versa.
If Pei Qian were to obtain an additional deposit monthly which was higher than the starting sum of the System Funds, the system would determine that he was making a profit forever!
Tragic! It was extrely tragic news!
Pei Qian truly wanted to die.
“How is it so pitiful?”
“I earned 200,000 but it was converted to 2,000!”
“And what’s worse, I’m going to be earning money without doing anything from now on and I’ll have no way of losing it away?”
“No, sothing must be wrong! Calm down, calm down!”
“Let
think about it. Things should not be so terrible...”
Pei Qian composed himself as new ssages appeared on the system’s screen.
“Indeed...!”
“I’m honestly dying!”
Pei Qian had confird his suspicions!
The system would conduct a topping up of the System Funds with each settlent.
That top-up amount and the settlent date would always vary.
Because the top-up limit was 500,000 and Pei Qian’s current System Funds had already exceeded 500,000, no additional top-ups would be made.
Whereas if Pei Qian had managed to lose the 300,000 entirely, he would be injected with a fresh 500,000...
He was completely suicidal at the mont.
That 300,000 that was almost confird to be his had turned into 2,000!
Who could accept that?
At the sa ti, the System Funds had increased by over a thousand yuan within the span of a few minutes.
That was because Ghost General was still generating inco.
Pei Qian was despaired and was even having doubts about himself.
“Could it be that I should change my mindset? Should I start thinking about how to make money in the future?”
“No, it’s too late for that...”
“Besides, I can’t possibly have such good luck in the future.”
In that instant, Pei Qian’s thought of whether he should change to the path of profits disappeared from his mind entirely.
The reason was simple – the payoff was way too low and it wasn’t really possible as well!
Be it The Lonely Desert Road or Ghost General, a large part of their success was based on luck!
Would Pei Qian continue to have such amazing luck? That’s not for sure!
What if he tried to earn money legitimately and ended up earning nothing much while failing to make a loss either. Wouldn’t that be an awkward situation?
The key was in sticking to his original plans!
The Profit Conversion Ratio was a re 100:1. Even if he earned 1,000,000, he would only earn 10,000! That would be a lousy trade!
