Chapter 30 House Flipping Simulator
Although Qian Duoduo was very angry and felt that he had been cheated, he had no choice but to accept the money.
Now that I have received the money, I have to post the video!
When his latest video was released, the comment section, gaming community, and official fan base went wild, and countless players were dumbfounded.
“I really like this line in the comments section: Huh?!”
"It's so funny! Is this what they call a loan that can be passed down through three generations? The loan still exists even though the person is gone?"
"The unpaid mortgage from the previous life... Is this something a human can say? Brother Ba, where is your mother?"
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I haven't paid off my mortgage in real life yet, and now I have to bear another ten years of mortgage in the game? Wuuuu! Brother Ba, you really deserve to die..."
"Family members, buying a house is risky, so be careful when taking out a loan!"
The addition of a new loan mechanism into the game was originally a good thing that made countless players happy, and they even felt that a slight increase in housing prices was acceptable.
After all, it is really difficult to save game coins.
Unless you are like Guo Mo, who doesn't care about the content of the game at all and concentrates on washing dishes in a restaurant for a thousand days and nights, you will have the hope of saving enough money to buy a house.
But now that I have a loan, I don’t have to work so hard.
You can experience the normal content of the game while saving up for a down payment, and then buy the house from your aunt to achieve the hidden achievement of "turning the tables".
But Qian Duoduo told everyone from his own experience that this game is really a scam! Who would have thought that you would have to pay off the loan that you didn't pay off in the previous save file when you open a new save file? Is this a mechanism that a carbon-based creature could come up with? Chen Ba also saw the players' reactions.
To his surprise, he thought that after he made such a change, players would give up and stop taking shortcuts, and play the game seriously, right? What's the point of buying a house in the game? It's not worth it to work hard for more than ten hours just to satisfy the twisted sense of achievement of "son-in-law devouring the master"! Be good! Listen to my advice!
There are so many fun things in this game. We don't need to buy a house. It's better to play other things. If that doesn't work, we can go to an Internet cafe for the night...
But he never expected that even after the game had been changed to this extent, players still had to buy houses, even if they had to take out loans that would take three save files to pay off.
Too abstract!
Chen Ba, who refused to give up, decided to continue raising the housing price after consultation with Yang Dong and Lu Jing, raising the price in the game from 5,000 per square meter to 5,500 per square meter.
Boy, this is called macro-control! After the new game patch was released, the number of players buying houses has indeed decreased.
After all, in the game, although the protagonist’s salary is very high, it cannot withstand such an astonishing increase in housing prices!
However, the absence of some people does not affect the vast majority of players, who are still determined to buy a house in the game.
So, a week later the house price reached 6,000.
Two months later…
After 12 patch updates, the housing prices in "Living with Others Simulator" have risen to a terrifying 10,000 yuan per square meter, which is higher than the real housing prices in Jiangning.
A well-known game blogger accidentally came across the update log of "Living under Someone Else's Roof Simulator" and took a screenshot and posted it on Weibo.
In the screenshots, the game update description only has one line of text each time: This update optimizes the abnormal game data, and the housing price is raised to XXXX yuan/square meter...
That’s right!
There have been more than a dozen patch updates, all with the same words, the only thing that has changed is the housing price.
As soon as this screenshot came out, the comment section was instantly filled with laughter.
"What kind of sad game is this? It's so abstract!"
“Is this game about real estate?”
"Not really. If I said this game has nothing to do with the real estate industry, would you believe it?"
“How magical! The housing prices in the game are higher than in real life. Is it easy to make money in this game?”
"No way! Players work hard washing dishes and have to work hard for several years to save enough for the down payment. It takes several saves to pay off the loan..."
When a "Living with Others Simulator" player shared his experience in the comment section, other netizens sent a string of question marks.
How many archives do I need to pay off my loan? Do you want to see what you are saying? Although it is all Chinese characters, why can't everyone understand it? It was not until this player explained the unique mortgage repayment mechanism of "Living with Others Simulator" that everyone suddenly realized it.
So that's how it is.
There is actually such a thing as creating a new archive to repay the mortgage of the previous archive. It really broadens my horizons!
But people still have a lot of questions. Since the housing prices in this game have risen so high, why do players still want to buy houses? Why not just not buy one?
"Most of the old players have bought houses at a price of 4,500 to 6,000 per square meter. Now they can make a lot of money by selling second-hand houses according to the game's prices. New players see that the old players have houses and think that the housing prices will continue to rise, so they must buy one too..."
So, this game is actually called "House Flipping Simulator" right?
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Such a magical game not only shocked passers-by in the Weibo comment section, but also made the game producer Chen Ba feel hopeless.
No way, Sir?
The house prices have exceeded 10,000 yuan, and these idiots are still buying, have you forgotten the name of this game? "Forget it, I'm not doing it anymore!"
After two months of changing housing prices, Chen Ba became more open-minded as he saw that players' enthusiasm had not diminished at all and that they were playing the game like a "House Flipping Simulator".
Whatever you want! It's just buying a house, fine! We'll open it up to you, and the house price will be adjusted back to the original 4,500 per square meter, so you can buy whatever you want.
But he didn't expect that when the housing prices were changed back, the new players would be unhappy again.
In their words, we bought this house at a high price, so can you just lower the price?
No! It must continue to increase!
If it really doesn't work, maintain the original price, otherwise give a bad review.
Chen Ba: “…”
Faced with the criticism from new players, he suddenly felt very tired.
Good brother, can you please look up and look at the name of the game? We didn't develop this game for you to play like this!
The name of the game is "Living under Someone Else's Roof Simulator", and the main theme is living under someone else's roof.
But the official version of the game has been on sale for two months, and all the players are "homeowners". How can this be considered living under someone else's roof? Guo Mo really deserves to die!
If he hadn't opened this Pandora's box, the game environment probably wouldn't have become like this. The most discussed topics should be the game plot and the university of their dreams...
In contrast, the most discussed topics in the forums now are: Can housing prices continue to rise? Which apartment type in the community is worth buying? When will Tianba Studio start selling new properties?
Some players also suggested to him that Tianba Studio should develop a multiplayer online mode so that commercial housing can be circulated among players and form a virtuous circle.
Damn the virtuous cycle!
Chen Ba wanted to strangle the player who made this suggestion. What a stupid idea!
All they talk about is houses. Could it be that all the players of "Living with Others Simulator" were real estate agents in their previous lives? (End of this chapter)
