A night is actually very short, so short that it ends in a dream.

But a lot can happen in one night.

For example, a once respected leader of an entertainment company fell into disgrace overnight, or a once famous queen-level singer's image collapsed in an instant and she became a mistress who was reviled by everyone, and it was difficult for her to turn over a new leaf...

Of course, for Lu Yuan, that night was just a one thousand dollar recharge for "Magic World" and then he enjoyed the pleasure of slaughtering all night long. It was not until his eyelids became sore and he heard chickens crowing outside that he realized how ridiculous he had done.

He actually wanted to compile a book based on the literary and artistic film scripts in his mind.

But his mind suddenly became a mess and he didn't know which script to write for a moment. The more he forced himself to think, the less he could come up with.

Unable to think of it, Lu Yuan chose not to think about it for the time being.

What can you do if you don’t want the script?

sleep?

No!

The night was long and Lu Yuan had no mood to sleep. He didn't have the habit of watching Japanese educational films and then exercising...

He was also prepared to wait for a sudden inspiration to come and write something sooner.

Then...

Play a game for an hour to kill time.

So I finally chose the game he had deleted and downloaded it again.

At first he just wanted to click and play for an hour or so, but after playing for an hour or so, he began to realize that something was wrong.

This game seems to be getting more and more fun. The more you play, the more exciting it is. The drop rate seems to be getting higher and higher. He has obtained many top-quality equipment.

Eventually he became addicted and even spent a thousand dollars on it.

This is a sad story.

When the roosters crowed in the early morning, Lu Yuan looked out the window and saw a hint of pale sky in the east. He was instantly startled!

What the hell did I do all night?

Not only did they fail to finish the script, but they also lost a thousand dollars?

What the hell!

Games harm people, games harm people!

No matter how upset he was, he couldn't eliminate the guilt in Lu Yuan's heart. When Lu Yuan really calmed down and wanted to write something, he found that his mind was even more confused than last night. As soon as he picked up the pen, he heard the voices of "fireball", "thunder", "big boss", "golden robe" and so on in his mind...

When he thought of this sound, Lu Yuan couldn't help but want to log into the game again and have a good fight.

Damn it!

I can't concentrate on writing the script at all!

Lu Yuan threw the pen away and almost cried.

Why did I click in? Why did I have to play games when I could do something else? Why did I agree to write the script for Director Li? If I didn't write the script, I wouldn't stay up late, and if I didn't stay up late, I wouldn't play games, and if I didn't play games, I wouldn't spend money...

One thousand dollars, damn it.

Forehead……

etc!

Lu Yuan suddenly felt that there was something wrong with his thinking.

Is there any connection between playing games yourself and writing scripts?

I write scripts to make money!

Afterwards, Lu Yuan criticized himself for a long time, and condemned himself morally countless times. Only then did the game voice in Lu Yuan's mind become much less.

As the sun rose, more and more people appeared on the streets, and Lu Yuan shook his head.

Then a gust of wind blew up the plastic bags on the ground.

Lu Yuan's eyes lit up!

"Hello……"

"Director Li, you may not believe this, but the script was already written. But this morning when I was checking the script, a strong wind suddenly blew in from the window. I wasn't paying attention and the script was blown away. I'll give you the script tomorrow."

“…”

Li You on the other end of the phone expressed his understanding and comforted Lu Yuan, saying that there are many unexpected things in this world and he should not take them too seriously and just take it slow.

After the call, Lu Yuan stretched himself and suddenly felt much more relaxed. He looked at the time and felt that he still had plenty of time. So he simply logged on to "Magic World" and prepared to fight again. All the moral condemnation and self-criticism he had just had were thrown aside by Lu Yuan...

But when I climbed up again.

Lu Yuan discovered that "Magic World" had been shut down.

"???"

"The game is closed?"

When Lu Yuan saw the farewell news on the official website, his face turned blue with anger. They cheated me out of a thousand dollars and then shut down the server?

What the hell, the game was killed halfway through, how could this happen?

Lu Yuan was speechless as he looked through the information of this game company. When he searched for this game company on Soudu, he found that this company had announced its bankruptcy in the early hours of this morning...

"You're going to go bankrupt and you're still trying to cheat me out of my money? What do you mean by that?" Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes and finally found the company's phone number and called...

…

"This cup is a toast to our youth!"

“This cup is a toast to our lost ideals!”

"drink!"

"Amu, where are you going next?"

"Me?"

"Yeah, I'm going to find a programming job at another game company. What about you, Da Liu?"

"Find a way to pay off the company's three million debt, and then find a way to sell this game..."

"It's a shame. This should have been a popular game. The number of online users has exceeded 30,000."

"What's the point of spending more than 30,000? The money I recharged is not enough to cover the rent, water and electricity bills, living expenses, and the operating costs of the game itself..."

"Is there any way to borrow money? I think if we can get through this, we can be profitable."

"Haha, this level? What else can we do? A few of us scraped together 5 million to make this game, but 5 million can't even guarantee the basic operating costs..."

"Do you regret it?"

“No regrets!”

"Yes, I don't regret it either. Come, drink, one last drink. There are two more. This game is not dead. I will find new investors or sell it to those game companies. Wasn't Tianxin quite interested in us before?"

"Tianxin Company... asked us to sell the full version of the game to them for three million to operate?"

"yes."

"Damn it, this ungrateful wolf, we would rather starve to death than sell him!"

"right!"

"Come on, do it."

In Yanjing, in a not very big game company, several middle-aged men in their thirties were drinking beer and smoking silently.

The computers around were playing Lu Yuan's "Old Boy" on a loop.

They are the old boys.

Failed old boy.

Some of them cursed, some were angry, some were unwilling to accept...

But, in the end, they had no other choice.

Because, they are bankrupt.

They simply cannot afford the high running costs of this game.

When they first entered the school, they all had an ambitious mentality. They felt that they had talent and ability and could contribute to the future of China's gaming industry. They also felt that they could create a big company like Tianxin Games.

Dreams are indeed beautiful, but the reality is very cruel.

After seven or eight years of hard work, these high-spirited young men have become Mediterranean-looking. Their brains have become brighter and brighter, and they can even reflect light. However, their careers have become increasingly dull...

"Magic World" was profitable in the first few months, but because the maintenance fee was not paid in full, the server had a minor malfunction and was invaded by a virus. Thousands of players complained that their computers were hacked and suffered heavy losses. Major game forums even cursed this online game. As a result, the game was instantly unpopular. No matter what activities they launched, it was useless...

They know that these viruses may have been released by someone with ulterior motives, but...

They really don't have the money to defend themselves.

"The company phone is ringing!"

"Is this another complaint call from those players? Don't answer it."

"You'd better answer it. You have to finish your last shift no matter what." The middle-aged man named Da Liu shook his body, walked towards the phone and answered it silently.

"Hello? Hello, this is the Wizarding World."

"It's said on the Internet that your company has closed down. Is this true or false?"

"It's true. I'm sorry."

"I just recharged 1,000 yuan and you're bankrupting me? Aren't you clearly trying to scam me? Do you think this is fun?"

"I'm sorry, sir."

"What's the point of saying sorry? I played your game all night last night and haven't slept yet. Do you know how much it cost me? I have never spent so much money on a game. You are really going too far!"

"I'm sorry, sir. I'm really sorry. How about this? Send me your card number and I'll refund you the thousand dollars."

"I don't want that thousand dollars. Tell me when this game will be reopened."

"Our company has declared bankruptcy... We don't know when the server will be reopened. Maybe we are going to sell this game."

"So this "Magic World" is finished? Sold? How much do you plan to sell it for?"

"I'm sorry, sir, I can't tell you that."

“…”

Liu's voice sounded very uncomfortable.

He could tell the caller was from a loyal player.

Since the game was launched, there are very few players who actually recharge 1,000 yuan. Most of them recharge a few hundred yuan just to play.

Moreover, due to insufficient funds for game production, many aspects of this game have not been made very detailed, and many things have fatal loopholes. Some players even exploited the loopholes to directly earn a lot of game coins, and they were fully equipped with super-good equipment as soon as they left the novice village.

There are guides on how to use up game coins everywhere on Tieba.

There are very few conscientious players like this fool who recharged 1,000 yuan.

But to be honest, he really didn't want to disappoint this player.

If possible, he even wanted to give a player a set of magical equipment as soon as the server was opened so that he could dominate the entire server and enjoy himself for three days and three nights.

But there was nothing he could do.

Every minute the game is online is one minute of money.

They really can't bear it anymore.

"Is your game company in Yanjing now?"

"Yes."

"How can you avoid bankruptcy? How much money do you need?"

"Sorry, sir, I have to continue to be busy. I will hang up first. Thank you for your support of our game. Thank you."

“Beep, beep, beep.”

Liu thought that the player’s question was really stupid. If you had given me money, I wouldn’t have gone bankrupt!

Of course, it was not convenient for him to say these words.

Just two seconds after I hung up, the phone rang again.

"Hello!"

"I'm Lu Yuan. Have you seen 'The Wanderer'? I starred in it..."

"Sir, this joke is not funny at all. You are Lu Yuan and I am still Shen Lianjie!"

"I'm not kidding. I'm really Lu Yuan. If you have time, come to Hengdian and see me. I want to talk to you in person. As long as the amount is not too abnormal, I might really invest in your game."

“Beep.”

“…”

Da Liu shook his head, hung up the phone and unplugged the telephone line.

Are you Lu Yuan?

If you were Lu Yuan, the sky would fall!

"Who is it?"

"A liar claiming to be Lu Yuan... Hey, these days... it's really... You can impersonate anyone else, impersonate that person, who is busy making headlines all day pretending to be awesome and getting slapped in the face. Why would he come to play a game like ours?"

"Don't worry about it. These days, scammers don't have any technical skills at all... Only fools will fall for it!"

"yes."

…

In a "remote" company.

The morning sun shone on Lu Yuan's face, and Lu Yuan looked confused.

Lu Yuan found that he could no longer make phone calls.

This moment...

He was speechless.

Why does no one believe me when I tell the truth?

Do I look like a liar?

I am so sincere and I even want to spend money to support you, but you actually reject me like this?
