I Make Games in the Interstellar Era

Xu Piao died and was reborn, transmigrating in a blink of an eye into an interstellar online game sweet romance novel, becoming a cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name.

Chapter 59

Hewlett had some guesses in his mind that the mysterious ch might be behind this account.

However, although he vaguely guessed this and received the words from CH that he could ask him if he had any questions, Hewlett rarely asked in the process of collecting information and making the collection, because he enjoyed the process of playing the invisible game with CH more.

Unless it's something you have to ask.

For example, when he was naming this collection, he couldn't decide on a name, so he asked ch, "What are the names of these stories?"

The other party answered him, [Huaxia]

——It is the name that was mentioned in the interview about the innovation plan.

Time passed by little by little.

"Shan Hai Lu" started this month's activities according to the announcement. Players of "Shan Hai Lu" can continue to work hard. Some people are curious about the progress of the internal test of "Taohuayuan" and go to the discussion area to find some news. What they see are all pictures of a peaceful life. There are either screenshots of leisurely going to the sea, or screenshots of picking mushrooms after the rain, and also screenshots of farming and cooking.

The years are as peaceful as if there were no travelers.

There were some people in the discussion forum who couldn't help but complain about why so-and-so died, and that it was too sudden, but as soon as such comments appeared, they were quickly covered up by other beta testers.

[We can't make this up. He actually faked his death and will come back to life later. Please don't make up nonsense...]

It makes people who have never played "Peach Blossom Spring" not know which one to believe, after all, they all sound quite true.

This event of "Shan Hai Lu" was much more stable than the previous two events. There were no problems and the plot was very interesting, which fully aroused the players' interest in the expansion pack [Lich War].

After the "Shan Hai Lu" event is successfully completed, "Taohuayuan" will be opened on time.

Countless players flocked into "Taohuayuan".

Not all of these players have watched the live broadcast related to "Taohuayuan". Many new players come here simply for the fun and easy game without having to fight.

Another reason was that I was deceived by the pictures of peaceful times circulated by beta testers.

Meanwhile, Hewlett's compilation was nearing completion.

Although it cannot be said to cover all of history, this collection has explored all the plots that can be explored of the travelers that the producer has carefully portrayed, making it into an extra-long collection similar to a mashup.

Now we just have to wait for the right time to send it out.

"What's going on with this 'Peach Blossom Spring'?" Meanwhile, one of the leading game production companies, Star, finally took notice of this new game that had suddenly appeared. "Is the producer of this game the same new producer who appeared earlier?"

"Yes, the winner of that innovation program."

The Star Chief Producer frowned. "Didn't that producer join our company? Did he go to Universe Ocean or another company?"

“…No, he didn’t join any company…”

"What??"

——When "Record of Mountains and Seas" became popular, the chief producer of Star heard about it, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. He just saw that the producer seemed to be an independent producer and had not joined any company, so he asked his subordinates to send him an invitation and left it alone.

As for the innovation plan, there will be one every once in a while. It is normal for one or two games to become popular due to exposure and promotion. Therefore, they did not care too much about the decline in revenue of their company's games in the past two months. At least the basic market is still there.

In the opinion of the chief producer of Star, the worldview of "Shan Hai Lu" started out too big. Without the help of a large company like Star, "Shan Hai Lu" would not last for more than a few months and would definitely collapse.

...Then more than two months later, "Shan Hai Lu" not only did not collapse, but also released "Peach Blossom Spring".

"Peach Blossom Spring" even jumped to the second place on the recharge list in just ten days after its opening.

——The first place is "Records of Mountains and Seas".

The head producer of Stellar Games noticed a certain degree of player churn in many of their company's games. Even if some players didn't quit, the time they spent playing their company's games was significantly reduced.

Not to mention the recharge amount.

After all, every player has a fixed amount of time. If they spend more time on one game, they will naturally spend less time on other games. Similarly, the amount of money most players are willing to spend on games is also fixed. If they spend more on other games, they will naturally spend less on their own games.

The general producer of Stellar read the content related to "Taohuayuan" for a long time, but he couldn't understand why such a boring and time-killing game could attract players to spend money.

Naturally, other companies have also encountered this situation, but because of the previous unicorn company incident, CH has a good reputation among many small producers and small companies.

Some companies in the central region that have ideas are afraid to act rashly because of the lessons learned from the unicorns. Universe Ocean, a large company of the same level as Stellar, has always been low-key and rarely shows up.

So when "Shan Hai Lu" and "Taohuayuan" took the first and second place on the recharge list respectively, the industry was still calm.

"What is all this?" After seeing that the names of all the real things in "Peach Blossom Spring" were changed one by one, Hengxing couldn't stand it anymore and concluded that this was just a low-level game that was randomly modified and edited.

"Xiao Ou, try to find a way to reduce the popularity of "Peach Blossom Spring". If it continues like this, the company's recharge volume report this month will not look good." Finally, the chief producer of Star made the final decision and handed all the matters over to his assistant.

The assistant nodded, "I see. We're still going to use the PR team, right?"

"Yeah, just take it and tinker with it. What kind of meaningless stuff is this? What kind of poetry and songs are these? Ha, it's just a bunch of random sentences piled together to pretend to be profound." The Star's chief producer sneered, then thought for a moment and added, "By the way, when we talk about history, you can mention our "Meteor Sword". If you want to see the depth of the game, you still have to look at the heroic epic hymns and the historical background of the divine struggle in our game."

The assistant almost couldn't help but say: What's the difference between this and blackmailing someone with their real name?

But the assistant finally agreed, thinking that at least when the time comes, the online crowd won't praise "Meteor Sword" too obviously, and can just pretend that it was just a casual mention by passersby when criticizing "Peach Blossom Spring".

So, just like that, amidst some undercurrents, "Taohuayuan", which had received mostly positive reviews in the first few days after the server was launched, suddenly had a very long critical comment on this day.

This comment was posted by a well-known producer, and it quickly became popular after it was posted.

[Yeah, I've been wanting to say this for a while now. Many of the words in those so-called 'poems' have absolutely no connection to each other. It's so uncomfortable to look at them forced together!]

This producer wanted to create a legendary game in one go, but he took a big step and ended up with nothing.

I was so optimistic about Shanhailu before, but when this Peach Blossom Spring came out... I've turned against it. I'll never play a game made by this developer again. Bye!

[Does anyone really think that traveler thing is good? No way, no way? I feel like any NPC in Meteor Sword is more profound than this.]

These netizens disguised themselves as players and criticized "Peach Blossom Spring" in this critical comment and various topics related to "Peach Blossom Spring", saying that the book has no content and nutrition at all, and not only did they make random changes, but they couldn't even write a good story.

People are sometimes easily influenced by other people's opinions, especially when most people have the same opinion. They will gradually lose confidence in their own judgment and think:

Huh? Is that how it is?

If you look at the original thing with this idea at this time, your view may be distorted, and you may think that this thing may not be very good.

I had never paid attention to "Taohuayuan" before, and some new players who joined the game during the public beta were led astray in this way.

However, those who have experienced several crises of "Shan Hai Lu" and Meihe fans who have become loyal players of "Shan Hai Lu" and "Taohuayuan" because of the "tribute" incident, all tacitly remained calm when seeing this situation.

Even Yu Mao no longer lamented "what a disaster", but "I'm used to it, who is it this time?"

[Those who say that "Taohuayuan" has no connotation and no nutrition must not have played it] Even though "Taohuayuan" has been publicly tested, the internal test chat channel has not been disbanded, and some people are still mumbling in it.

[I dreamt directly back to "Record of Mountains and Seas" and paid tribute to "Quicksand Vortex"]

【Hello! 】

[I'm so pissed! I'm so pissed! I try to reason with them, but they just keep repeating, 'The Peach Blossom Spring has no substance and no nutrition.' I'm...!]

[What are you arguing with the troll army for? By the way, whose game is "Meteor Sword"?]

[It's from Stellar. I played it for a few days when it was first launched and then gave up. But I heard the flow was pretty good.]

[Could it be that the name of the game "Headband" was deliberately framed? ]

Didn't Mr. Hewlett say the Traveler Collection is ready? Why not release it now? I'm so pissed! I can't stand them slandering the poetry of Li Bai, Su Shi, Du Fu, Xin Qiji, and Wang Wei...it's so beautiful!

Xiao Baicai, who was also in the chat channel at the time and had participated in the compilation of Hewlett, saw the player's suggestion and took the initiative to say, "How about I ask the control first? Maybe the control has some plans of his own?"

When saying this, Xiao Baicai was secretly a little happy.

Because among so many players and anchors, he is the only one who can communicate with CH frequently, he is CH's official anchor!

However, before Xiao Baicai could be happy for long...

Hewlett then said, "No need, I've already spoken to ch, and he said to post it."

[Yay!]

【Finally, I can post this! I'm about to shut myself up!】

I've waited too long for this moment.

【Let the knife strike harder! 】

The beta test players responded one after another, while Xiaobaicai was full of question marks.

Xiaobaicai: ...???

Where's the promised CH anchor? When did Hewlett...

Did he make a mistake after all? QAQ

Well, but at this time no one noticed Xiao Baicai’s sadness.

With this, when the criticism of "Peach Blossom Spring" by the Star Internet water army reached a peak, many accounts simultaneously released a very long video collection.

The owners of these accounts are all beta testers of "Taohuayuan", including many anchors with large numbers of fans, as well as many people who are active in other places.

The video collection they released at the same time has the same name:

——【When China’s Stars Shine】

——This is the name that Hewlett finally came up with based on the "Huaxia" given by CH.

The author has something to say:

Unicorn: Hello, big brother, you are here too
