Chapter 125: Love Cultivation? Business War!

Martin is a poor man.

Because of his ugly appearance and lack of education, he always had difficulties finding a job. He almost avoided taking decades of detours and became a residential security guard in one step.

He is an insurance salesman.

On his first day at work, he met Wen Rou, which was the source of all the mistakes.

Wenrou was very beautiful and cute. He was attracted by her at first sight and vowed to marry her and make her the happiest woman.

But because of his appearance, he always failed in his attempts to strike up conversations.

Martin, in distress, decided to seek help from his good brother, Uncle Ku, a handsome man with a monthly salary of 8,000 yuan. He felt that with Uncle Ku's help, he would definitely be able to win Wenrou.

As it turned out, he was right! With the help of Uncle Ku, Miss Wenrou was indeed captured, but it was a pity that it was not him who captured her.

"Thanks to Uncle Ku for the spaceship!"

"Thank you, Uncle Ku, for the renewal of the Governor's contract. Thank you, Uncle Ku..."

It hurts! It hurts so much! While Guo Mo was thanking him for the gift, he had already cursed Brother Ba's family tree in his heart.

What is Love Staff?

He thought that the game should be renamed as Love Minotaur! The uncle Ku who came to help him successfully captured the gentle lady he loved but could not have. What the hell is going on?

Well, Guo Mo also knew that this was not Brother Ba’s fault.

If he disagrees, he can actually kick Ku Shu out of the team and not allow him to enter the game world. The game protection mechanism can prevent this from happening.

But...Ku Shu is number one on his list!

What should I do then?

Of course, I wish them a happy marriage and a son soon! Could it be that for a game, he would turn against his top brother? Not really! To say that Guo Mo likes Wenrou so much is pure nonsense, after all, it's just a game character.

On the contrary, Uncle Ku, a middle-aged man who is successful in his career and wealthy in real life, has become a little obsessed with playing "Love Advisers".

He really likes gentleness! This is the motivation for his crazy gift giving, and it is also something Guo Mo never expected.

"Not really?"

After trying the game for almost a week, Guo Mo felt that the character creation in "Love Advisers" was very good, but he was not too addicted to it.

Ku Shu's reaction was somewhat beyond his expectations. He also asked Ku Shu if he couldn't tell the difference between a game and reality at his age. "I can tell the difference!"

Uncle Ku told Guo Mo that he could tell the difference between games and reality, but the character Wenrou was different. She looked very much like an old friend from that era.

Although he said he was an old friend, Guo Mo could tell that Uncle Ku found the shadow of his first love in the game, so he was addicted to it and didn't want to wake up.

First love...

Guo Mo had never been in a relationship, so he didn't understand why Uncle Ku was so obsessed with a game character. He even approached Tianba Studio, hoping to keep the data of the demo version.

Not only him, Chen Ba also didn't understand.

The Demo version of "Love Staff" is, after all, just a Demo. We will have to delete the data and go back to work to make a new Early Access version.

But in this process, "Love Cullinan" contacted them through Guo Mo's channels.

He made a request.

Don't delete the data, keep the current demo version! If it doesn't work, you have to keep a data backup of "Gentleness".

For this, he is willing to sponsor.

He spent seven figures just to preserve the data and archives of a game character. His obsession and generosity shocked the entire studio.

In fact, it’s not just him.

There are still many players in the Tianba community who, during the demo version trial period, are reluctant to part with their game characters and hope to keep their data and archives.

Why do we need to apply for retention? On the one hand, the demo version of Love Adviser is not complete. To put it bluntly, it is just a small-scale internal test, and the data will be deleted after the test.

On the other hand, even if the official does not delete the data, because this game has rogue elements and is highly random, other characters may appear randomly next time you experience it first.

Players are calling for it.

Through a questionnaire survey, Chen Ba obtained a set of data, the results of which showed that more than 370 test players wanted to keep the trial version data.

Only more than 400 players were invited to this small-scale internal test.

Based on this premise, Chen Ba made a decision, which was to follow the players' wishes and retain some characters in the trial phase.

The data will still be rolled back.

It is impossible not to roll back the game. When the early access version and the official version are released, other players will start from scratch. How many hours will it take for the trial version players to complete the game? "The game progress, including the player's data, will definitely be reset. There is no way around it."

Chen Ba explained: "But we can't just ignore the players' demands. Let's do this... the other data will be reset, but the characters they met can be kept."

For example.

Player A conquered character B while playing the demo version. A liked B very much and didn't want B to disappear.

Then in the early access version released later, character B will be retained, and player A can see B as long as he logs in to his account.

The only drawback is that after the data is reset, player A may need to conquer character B all over again, just like the first time they played the demo.

“That’s no problem!”

Yang Dong thought about it and decided to reset the game progress but keep the characters from the demo version. This is indeed a best of both worlds solution.

But he still had a question.

“Is there really someone who loves a virtual character in a game so much?”

"some."

Before Chen Ba could speak, Xiao Lu nodded and said, "When I attended the Neon Game Show before, I met a player in a similar situation."

"He claimed to be an old fan of a Galgame and liked a certain female character in it very much. He is 34 years old and unmarried..."

The virtual world is so beautiful.

Especially this kind of illusory bubble-like love satisfies many people's needs and desires for love on the spiritual level.

It’s not surprising that some people would become addicted to it and even feel hopeless about the real world! “How should I put it…”

When Chen Ba heard Dong Ge's question, he smiled bitterly and said, "If you are not the person involved, you may not know what he is thinking."

From an outsider's perspective, hearing this would certainly surprise one, wondering how there could be such a fool in the world? How could someone be so obsessed with playing games that he actually took a paper man as his wife?

But only the person involved knows what he really thinks.

"It's like they're in love with each other."

Zhong Shengwei came over to join the discussion and said: "It may be just a line, or just a moment, that I suddenly fell in love with the virtual character."

"Of course, the greater possibility is that they feel hopeless about the real world, so they run to the virtual game world to numb themselves..."

“It shouldn’t be like this!”

After listening to the explanations of several people and understanding the situation, Yang Dong couldn't help but complain.

"You said that I can understand other people, but you said that this player named "Love to Drive Cullinan" is not happy in real life?"

Are you kidding me? How could a middle-aged man with a successful career and millions of dollars, who lives a wonderful life in real life and has no shortage of women around him, be obsessed with a game character?

"I know that!"

Xiao Lu had watched Guo Mo's live broadcast and knew some of the inside story, so he explained: "It is said that it was because of a failed relationship when he was young. Do you understand why the first love Bai Yueguang blessed him?"

"ha?"

Yang Dong didn't understand, but he was shocked.

What happened? Did he find the feeling of first love in the game? Or did he meet a female character in the game who looked like his first love? "He said that he earned a few thousand yuan a month, and after work he would ask his beloved girl out to watch movies, eat, and go shopping. He racked his brains to save money to buy her a gift. He hadn't felt that feeling for many years."

Xiao Lu touched the back of his head and said, "The main reason is that the characters in the game are not after his money. It's all pure love, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Tianba studio was in a state of panic where one could hear a pin drop.

Everyone's defense was broken.

Good god! People are addicted to games because they miss the feeling of a poor boy chasing a girl and doing everything for love.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

It sounded fine, but when everyone thought about the role he played, which seemed to be a reflection of their real life, their expressions immediately became tense.

“Ahem!”

Even Chen Ba was convinced by this powerful reason.

I have to say that although they are rich, this kind of pure love, love that is not tainted by any money or material things, can only be experienced in games.

Let him experience it in reality?

What a fart experience! With his status and identity, how could he find such a feeling? All the beauties around him were attracted by his money.

“This is a special case.”

"Let's not discuss this kind of trouble that only rich people have, and let's talk about the game itself. During the demo trial, I also found a few problems..."

Chen Ba frowned and said, "We are playing a dating simulation, how come it turned into Business War?"

He discovered this by watching the video.

A Pili Pili UP host, I don’t know what he does in real life, but he should be very knowledgeable and talented.

He first applied for a job with a monthly salary of 5K, and then ignored everything else. After accumulating work experience, he changed jobs several times.

I succeeded every time! This is not an easy task, because in the game "Love Advisor", high-paying jobs generally require answering questions.

And the higher the salary, the more professional the questions the system will give! As a result, this UP host successfully changed jobs one after another, and finally became the general manager of a chain restaurant company, and began to play business wars.

The resume is simply too luxurious.

According to the time in the game world, it only took him three short years to advance from a low-level worker to a working emperor, and he even started an "entrepreneurship" branch.

After watching his Demo trial process, Chen Ba had only one feeling, that is, is "getting a promotion and a raise" too easy?

It seems that it was so easy for him to get promoted! When Chen Ba designed the career path, he initially thought that players would have to work hard in the game world for at least ten years before they could hope to succeed in a career path.

Only after you succeed can you start a business.

Then another ten years of gaming time, including the time spent picking up girls, the entire gaming process was probably more than 20 hours.

But he didn't expect that the career path would be opened up so quickly.

Brother, don’t you want to have a love relationship?

You don't fall in love, you play Hammer's love game? If you don't look at the name of the game, do you think you are playing Monopoly? "It's not a problem of the difficulty of the career path. I looked at it and it should be a problem of the job-hopping mechanism."

After working as an insurance salesman for two years, he switched to become a surgeon? After working as a doctor for another two years, he switched to become a financial investment expert?

Don't laugh!

In the game "Love Staff", the design of job-hopping between different career paths is problematic.

Yang Dong feels that there are no restrictions for the first job, but once you have a job, the second job will be more difficult to "cross industries".

He was massaging people's feet in the bath city one second, and treating patients with a stethoscope the next. This scene was too strange and incongruous.

"really!"

Xiao Lu also echoed: "It's not that you can't change jobs, nor that you can't develop across industries. But you can't replace or promote."

To put it simply.

Players can switch from being a bathing technician to being a doctor. But it is not allowed to happen that a person earns 5,000 yuan a month before the job change and still earns 5,000 yuan a month after the job change, or even 6,000 or 7,000 yuan a month...

What?

You were massaging people's feet, and while doing that you also learned the Taiyi Shenzhen technique, right?

"Changing jobs across industries will result in a pay cut, or even a big pay cut! This is true even if you pass the test. There is no loophole that allows you to increase your salary by changing industries." Chen Ba made the decision.

There are such examples in reality.

But reality is reality, and games are games. In reality, some people have achieved huge success across industries, but games cannot be designed in this way, otherwise it will be a mess.

Can cross lines.

If players feel that being a waiter and being promoted step by step to store manager is too slow, and want to become a doctor or teacher, that is completely possible.

But the prerequisite is that you are willing to give up your accumulation and experience in your original career path and choose to start from the bottom.

According to the game mechanism, a back-scrubbing master changes his career to become a doctor. No matter what level he was at before and how much he earned, he has to start from the internship stage.

“Then the first job is very important.”

Zhong Shengwei said thoughtfully: "For your first job, you don't have to choose a high-paying job, but you must choose a job with a lot of room for promotion and a high ceiling."

“That’s right!”

Chen Ba nodded.

The first job in "Love Staff" is indeed very important. Otherwise, if you regret it and want to change to something else after playing for a while, it will be a waste of a lot of time.

Especially the security guards...

Many players were immediately attracted when they saw that the career threshold was very low and food and accommodation were provided.

It saves you decades of detours and having free food and accommodation is really great.

But the price may be that other players have become CEOs and married beautiful women, while you are still making 1800 yuan a month and laughing all day long! But then again.

In the game "Love Staff", career choice is not the most important thing. If you are too lazy to use your brain and plan your career path, it would be fine to just become a security guard in one go.

No problem.

Whether your salary is high or low, it does not affect your game character strategy. Anyway, there is no standard route to clear the game. Who says marrying a good wife and working as a security guard for decades does not count as clearing the game? What's wrong with a monthly salary of 1,800 yuan? Marry a wife with a monthly salary of 18,000 yuan and live a life of luxury!
