Chapter 30: Chapter 30: House Flipping Simulator
Although Qian Duoduo was very angry and annoyed, feeling like he’d been totally duped, there was no way around it; he’d already taken their grain.
Since he’d accepted it, the video had to be released!
Once he put out the latest episode, the comnt section, gaming community, and official fan groups collectively exploded, countless players were dumbstruck.
"Absolutely loved a comnt in the section: Ah?!"
"Hilarious! Is this what’s called a loan lasting three generations? The person moves on, but the loan stays?"
"Mortgage not paid off in the previous life... is this even sothing a human can say? Ba, is your mother well?"
"Why didn’t you say this earlier? My real-life mortgage isn’t finished, and now I’m saddled with a ten-year mortgage in the ga? Boohoo! Ba, you truly deserve to die..."
"Folks, buying property carries risks, be cautious with loans!"
The new loan chanism in the ga was originally sothing that delighted countless players, even thinking a slight increase in property prices was acceptable.
After all, hoarding Ga Coins is really hard.
Unless you’re like Guo Mo, who doesn’t care about ga content and focuses entirely on scrubbing plates in the restaurant, scrubbing for a thousand days and nights, hoping to save enough money to buy a house.
But now, with loans, you don’t have to grind that hard.
Players can experience the ga’s regular content while saving up for a down paynt, then purchase that house of their aunt’s to achieve the hidden achievent of "turning the tables as a guest."
But Qian Duoduo used his personal experience to tell everyone, this ga is a real scam!
Who would have thought that an unpaid loan from a previous save has to be continued in a new save? Is this a chanism a carbon-based lifeform can co up with?
Chen Ba also saw how the players reacted.
To his surprise, despite all his changes, the players would finally give up, stop resorting to crooked paths, and actually focus on playing the ga properly?
What’s the use of buying a house in the ga?
Working hard for dozens of hours, only to fulfill the warped sense of achievent of "being a son-in-law overpowering the lord"? Not worth it!
Co on! Listen to your bro’s advice!
This ga has a lot of fun aspects, no point in obsessing over buying houses, why not explore other features, or just spend a night at the internet café...
But he never imagined that even though the ga had been changed this way, players still wanted to buy houses, even if it ant taking on loans that required three saves to pay off.
Too ridiculous!
Unwilling to give up, Chen Ba, after discussion with Yang Dong and Lu Jing, decided to continue raising house prices, increasing them in-ga from 5000/square ter to 5500/square ter.
Kids, this is called macro control!
Once the new ga patch was released, there were indeed fewer players buying houses.
Because in the ga, even though the protagonist earns a high salary, it’s still unbearable with such a shocking increase in property prices!
Although there were fewer people, it didn’t affect the vast majority of players who remained determined to buy houses in-ga.
And so, a week later, house prices reached 6000.
Two months later...
After 12 updates, the house prices in Living Under Soone’s Roof Simulator soared to a terrifying 10000 yuan/square ter, even more than the real-life prices in Jiangning.
A well-known ga blogger accidentally screenshotted the update log of Living Under Soone’s Roof Simulator and posted it on Weibo.
The screenshot showed that the ga’s update note always had one line: This update optimized abnormal ga data, house prices updated to XXXX yuan/square ter...
That’s right!
For over a dozen patch updates, the text remained the sa, with only the house price changing.
Once the screenshot was out, the comnt section burst into laughter.
"What a strange ga, so abstract!"
"Is this ga about real estate by any chance?"
"No, if I say this ga has nothing to do with the real estate industry at all, would you believe ?"
"How surreal! The house prices are higher in the ga than in reality. Is it easy to make money in this ga?"
"Not at all! Players work hard scrubbing dishes, spend years to save up for a down paynt, and need several saves to pay off the loans..."
When a Living Under Soone’s Roof Simulator player appeared in the comnt section to explain, other netizens sent a string of question marks.
Several saves to pay off the loans?
Do you even know what you’re saying? Even though they’re all Chinese characters, why can’t everyone understand?
Until this player explained the unique house mortgage repaynt chanism in Living Under Soone’s Roof Simulator, everyone finally understood.
So, that’s how it is.
There’s actually sothing like starting a new save to pay off a mortgage from an old save, truly enlightening!
But everyone was still puzzled, since the house prices in this ga had risen so high, why do players still insist on buying houses? Wouldn’t it be fine not to buy?
"Veteran players basically all bought houses when prices were 4500~6000/square ter, and can now make quite a bit selling them second-hand based on the ga’s pricing. New players see that veteran players all have houses, think the prices can still rise, so feel they must buy a house themselves..."
So, is this ga actually House Flipping Simulator?
Such a surreal ga not only amazed passersby in the Weibo comnt section, but also left the ga creator Chen Ba feeling utterly at loss.
Really, Sir?
House prices have broken through the tens of thousands, yet you folks are still here buying, buying, buying, have you forgotten what this ga is called?
"Forget it, not doing this anymore!"
After changing house prices for two months and seeing player enthusiasm never waning, instead turning it into House Flipping Simulator, Chen Ba decided to let it go.
Whatever will be, will be!
After all, it’s just buying houses, fine then! Open it up for purchases, adjust the house prices back to the original 4500/square ter, buy however you wish.
But he didn’t expect that once the prices were adjusted back, the new batch of players were not happy.
In their words, we bought our houses at high prices, can you just drop the price whenever you want?
No way! It must continue to rise!
If not, at least maintain the original price, or else it’ll get bad reviews.
Chen Ba: "..."
Faced with a barrage of complaints from new players, he suddenly felt exhausted.
Good fellows, I beg you, could you please look up at the ga na? This ga wasn’t developed for you to play this way!
The ga is called Living Under Soone’s Roof Simulator, and its main the is, well, living under soone else’s roof.
Yet, it’s been two months since the ga’s official release, and each player has beco a "hoowner," so how does this reflect living under soone’s roof?
Guo Mo truly deserves to die!
If it weren’t for him opening this Pandora’s Box, the ga environnt probably wouldn’t have turned out like this, the most discussed topics should’ve been the ga plot and favorite universities...
In contrast, now the forum’s most discussed topics are whether housing prices will continue to rise, which apartnt layout is worth purchasing, when is Tianba Studio going to release new estates?
Plus, players have even suggested to him that Tianba Studio should develop a multiplayer online mode so that residential properties can circulate among players, forming a positive cycle.
Your positive cycle my foot!
Chen Ba wishes he could strangle the player who made this suggestion, what kind of rotten idea is this?
All they talk about is houses; are Living Under Soone’s Roof Simulator players all real estate agents in their past lives?
