Chapter 422 What does he look like at work?

"That's true, but my car isn't really suitable for guys, is it? I saw you driving it before, and there wasn't enough room for your legs."

Qin Ce drove the car out, and once they were on the right road, he said, "There are so many cars in the garage, just pick one and drive it."

"That won't do. Your cars are too expensive. I'm worried if I drive them there..."

Qin Ce glanced at her briefly; with just one look, he could read all her thoughts.

Are you worried that they'll keep demanding more money once they find out you have it, or are you worried that they'll distance themselves from you once you're rich?

Qiao Xing looked at him suspiciously, "How did you know?"

Actually, what he said was what Qiao Xing was worried about. After all, she had just joined the company and didn't know them well enough. In addition, Qin Ce's words last night made her wary of the three of them.

The three of them were classmates, and she was the only outsider. How should I put it? Anyway, their relationship was definitely not as good as theirs.

Qin Ce chuckled but didn't say anything.

Qiao Xing didn't discuss this with him, as she was still thinking about the project proposal.

She wanted to finish the game as soon as possible, and if it could make money, it would help ease the company's burden.

With less than two hours left before she was supposed to leave work, she went straight home. Once home, Qiao Xing took out her computer and started playing games, trying to find some inspiration by playing all the games she had downloaded.

This game is indeed addictive, but most of the gameplay is the same, and she gets a little tired of it after playing it a lot.

It's all about making money, making money in every way. Seeing the money you earn in the game gives you a sense of accomplishment.

The core of the game is making money, and the gameplay is secondary.

Qiao Xing rested his chin on his hand, staring at the game screen on the computer. He had completed all the tasks and was just waiting for the crops to ripen and the tavern and other places to start making money. Once he had enough money, he could open up new areas.

It gets quite boring after a while.

Suddenly, a pop-up ad appeared in the lower right corner, and an idea struck her.

She excitedly opened the document and quickly typed on the keyboard, writing down the core gameplay.

She was so engrossed in writing that she didn't even notice Qin Ce had returned.

Qin Ce stood next to her for a full ten minutes before he suddenly spoke up, "This way of playing looks interesting."

Qiao Xing was startled and turned around abruptly, "When did you get back?"

"Just got back."

"Oh dear, I forgot to cook. Please sit down for a while, I'll go make some food."

Just as she was about to stand up, Qin Ce pressed her shoulder down and made her sit back down. "You keep writing, I'll order takeout."

As he spoke, Qin Ce sat down next to her.

"Are you interested?" Qiao Xing asked him.

Qin Ce stroked his chin, rested his right hand on the sofa behind her, stared at her computer screen, and pondered, "It's alright. With some management, it can make money."

Hearing his evaluation, Qiao Xing was even happier. "Really? I'm relieved to hear that. When the game comes out, could your company handle its distribution?"

"Yes, as long as there are no quality issues, we can follow the normal procedures."

"Great, I'll continue writing then."

Qin Ce said, "Your task is a bit messy. If you could add a main storyline, it would greatly increase the retention rate."

Qiao Xing explained, "There is a main plot. The main plot is just spending money and paying off debts. What else do we need a main plot for?"

That's right, her game is an unconventional simulation management game called "The Tycoon". At the start, the player is 100 million yuan in debt, but at the same time, he will get a system that will give him a rebate on the money he spends, and this rebate can be used to pay off his debts.

This creates a reasonable cycle for money in the game, preventing players from getting bored once they accumulate a certain amount of money.

Qin Ce said, "What I mean is, with your setting, players can freely spend the money they receive as rebates. Then there's no need for them to do these small tasks and daily tasks. They just need to keep spending money to get rebates and repeating the process. After a certain point, they'll get bored, and it might even be worse than the common management games on the market."

Qiao Xing nodded thoughtfully, "What you said seems to make sense."

"Therefore, you'd better set it up so that the money players receive as a rebate can only be used to pay off debts, and cannot be used for task consumption or spending as rewards."

"Let me think about how to solve this problem."

Qin Ce said, "It's simple. Just set up different currencies. The money from rebates, the money from tasks, and the money given by the system can be divided into different currencies."

"The rebate money will definitely be deducted immediately to pay off debts. The money from tasks can be used at will. The amount given by the system has a daily limit, so players need to do tasks to increase the system's money limit."

"Your approach is basically to prevent players from accumulating too much money. You can add more quests for NPCs and improve the affinity system..."

Qiao Xing listened attentively to his analysis, and Qiao Xing was somewhat stunned by his serious expression.

Is this what he looks like at work?

After Qin Ce finished speaking, he looked up and found her staring straight at him. He suddenly leaned closer to Qiao Xing and asked, "Did you understand?"

Qiao Xing snapped out of her daze and realized that the two of them were very close. She guiltily looked away and typed on the keyboard, "I understand, I'll change it."

Just then, the takeout arrived. He answered the phone, stood up, and said, "I'll go get the takeout."

After he left, Qiao Xing breathed a sigh of relief and quickly wrote down what he had said. After further optimization, the plan should be considered complete.

Add a hotel on the verge of bankruptcy for players, an NPC affinity system, and hidden NPC quests...

Qin Ce brought the takeout back, and after she finished eating, she continued writing.

It wasn't until around 10 p.m. that I finished writing the detailed plan.

The next morning, she went to the company and showed the three of them the proposal.

After reading it, Shen Boyan nodded. "Not bad, but according to your character settings, Sun Miao's workload will be huge."

Sun Miao was completely distraught after looking at all the original character drawings. Excluding the unimportant characters, there were a total of thirty character illustrations for the main male and female characters. She might as well just kill her.

Qiao Xing explained, "Anyway, we're not in a rush. Let's take it slow. We don't need to draw so many diagrams in the early stages. If the data is good after the game is launched, we can gradually add more characters."

Sun Miao let out a breath, "That's more like it. I thought you wanted them all at once."

Qiao Xing joked, "How could that be? You're all alone, I wouldn't dare let you die suddenly."

Tao Yang said, "Your game is 2.5D, that's quite large. How long do you plan to develop it?"

Qiao Xing thought for a moment and estimated, "If you can help, it will probably take about half a year. If I do it myself, it might take a year."

A year is actually not bad. The development cycle is not short, but it's not long either, considering the limited manpower. The only concern is that the company might not last a year, and whether the game can make money is still unknown.

Now the question is, if this game is developed independently by her and Sun Miao, and they make money from it, how will it be accounted for?

Qin Ce said this game could make money, and if we go through their channels, we'll definitely earn a lot.

So Qiao Xing asked, "If you don't develop it separately, how will the profits be split after the game is released?"
