“It’s so dark~~”

Looking at the only one hundred yuan left in the bank card, Wang Chuan only felt a gust of bleak wind blowing.

Not only did it bring him sadness, it also took away his money.

After careful selection, he finally found a public account and self-media with 800,000 followers and a good reputation.

The price offered by the other party was already quite reasonable, 9,000 yuan for a soft advertising promotion.

But it was because of the free 100,000 keyword searches that Wang Chuan chose this company.

However, the other party also asked him to transfer the game before advertising.

They have to play the game once and confirm the content before they can promote it.

Well, although on the surface it is to have a reason to rely on, in reality it is to ensure that the game does not contain any illegal content.

"Hey, stomach, stomach, just bear with it for a few days. When the money comes in at the end of the month, you can have a big meal."

Wang Chuan looked at his stomach with a hint of bitterness and sighed in his heart.

There was no other way. All his savings were used to make games, leaving only a hundred yuan for food.

This thought, what can I eat with a hundred yuan? I don’t know if I can stick to it for ten days.

It would be nice to have a cheap place to eat.

"Hey, wait a minute, it seems there really is such a place!"

Suddenly Wang Chuan's eyes lit up. How could he forget about the school cafeteria!

Thinking of this, he put his computer away, tidied up and prepared to eat.

School cafeteria, this is good news for students!

Three meat dishes only cost eight or nine yuan, and rice is free. This is a benefit only available in school.

As for vegetarian dishes? I can’t afford them. I can’t afford them.

Just as Wang Chuan was looking at the food with deep emotion, in an office in Shanghai, Xia Xiao was sitting in front of the computer with a tired look on his face. He looked at the interface in front of him and couldn't help yawning.

"This game is obviously a flop. So boring~~"

She is an employee of this public account media, specializing in testing the quality of promoted games.

And after playing, write soft articles.

Don’t think this job is easy, you just play games every day.

But when it comes to writing promotional articles, you have to rack your brains to think of advantages to lure players in.

"Xia Xiao, what's wrong with you? Are you tired? How about I help you? Are you thirsty? I'll buy you a drink."

When Xiao Chen, who was standing by, saw the goddess' unusual movements, he quickly approached her with a licking face, asking her all kinds of questions about her well-being.

Well, ever since he saw Xia Xiao for the first time, he resolutely embarked on the path of being a dog licker.

Unfortunately, in the end, there was nothing left!

"No, it's this game. Even though I haven't played it yet, I have a feeling he's not good enough."

Xia Xiao glanced at Xiao Chen and complained casually.

Although she doesn't like to be licked by a dog, she does feel comfortable having one around.

"oh?"

"Because this game was made by an ordinary person, and the buyout price is a bargain-basement five dollars, there's an 80% chance you won't be able to beat it."

Xia Xiao leaned lazily in the chair and explained in detail.

After hearing her explanation, Xiao Chen also understood why the other party said that.

Their job is to play games, so they have some understanding of this industry.

To become a formal game producer, ranking and recognition are both essential.

Not to mention the ranking, just gaining recognition from players and having 10,000 paying users is very difficult.

Even if the game is set at a very low price, it is still the same. There may not be 10,000 people playing it for free, let alone at a very low price.

Therefore, you can become a formal game producer through this path.

All of them have become hot cakes, after all, they have already proven their strength in the market.

Although he couldn't stop complaining, Xia Xiao was still very conscientious.

Download the game to your computer, take a deep breath to block out distracting thoughts, and make sure you won't be disturbed by prejudice.

Directly entered the game.

The game starts directly into the game screen without any cutscenes.

This did not surprise Xia Xiao, after all, it was an independent game.

But the subsequent scene piqued her interest.

Unlike the scene she imagined, the graphics of this game are quite exquisite.

Appearing on the screen was a man in a suit, sitting in front of a computer, just like her.

The narration on the side tells the background of the story.

It turns out that the man's name is Stanley, and the game is actually named after him.

Stanley's story? What's his story?

This aroused Xia Xiao's interest.

After entering the official interface, the screen rotates like a comic strip, and at the same time a BGM sounds, which is simple yet inexplicably terrifying.

"This is the story of a man named Stanley."

"Stanley works for a company in a building. He is employee number 427."

"Employee 427's job is simple: sit at a desk and push buttons on a keyboard."

"The display will tell him the instructions..."

"But one day, something strange happened."

"This incident changed Stanley forever..."

"But when he regained his senses and consciousness, he got up from his desk and walked out of his office."

With a brief background introduction by the narrator, the game officially begins.

The God's perspective suddenly disappeared and became the first-person form.

Although there were no prompts, Xia Xiao understood how to operate it without any instruction.

Just like other games, use the up, down, left, and right keys, and shake the mouse to change direction.

"This game seems interesting! What on earth happened to this Stanley?"

After adapting a little, Xia Xiao decided to go out and explore.

The previous narration background made her confused, but a kind of curiosity that comes from human nature pushed her to decipher the mystery.

"Xia Xiao? How is it? Is this game fun?"

At this time, a mean voice came from the lickspittle Xiao Chen next to him.

Well, as a bootlicker, the essential skill is to care about the goddess all the time and find common topics.

"Go away. I want to play games and I don't have time to deal with you."

Glancing to the side, Xia Xiao said expressionlessly.

As a qualified employee, she doesn't like others to get close to her when she's reviewing games, as it might affect her judgment.

"Okay, okay, I'll come back later."

Xiao Chen touched his nose awkwardly, then turned and left.

Well, a day as a bootlicker is always filled with countless rejections and embarrassing situations.

But so what? I'm used to it anyway~~

Without paying any more attention to Xiao Chen, Xia Xiao immersed himself in the game.

She controlled the character Stanley and left the office, passing through a corridor and a conference room.

No one was found during this period.

The narrator's lines also sounded, accompanied by the music from the underworld, creating a vaguely desolate atmosphere.
