Chapter 76 Inspiration from the game
Shicheng, Shuiyun Lanting Community.
Liang Xiaodong was leaning on the sofa, browsing the 3C digital hardware section of an e-commerce shopping platform on his mobile phone.
He plans to assemble a computer.
As a full-time online writer, Liang Xiaodong's daily life is inseparable from computers. Without a computer, he even has difficulty eating.
The laptop he used to write was bought by his father when he first entered college. After so many years of use, not only did its performance not keep up with the times, but it also had many minor problems.
Just yesterday, he was too excited while typing and accidentally knocked over a teacup, causing water to enter the computer and burn the motherboard.
I definitely won’t repair it.
Instead of spending money to repair this broken computer, it is better to spend a little more money to assemble a new desktop computer! Laptops are convenient, but the typing feel is too bad, and the screen is small, so I often miss typos when checking.
Of course, this is not the main reason.
The reason why Liang Xiaodong was so obsessed with the new computer was mainly because he liked playing games, and the performance of the old computer... was okay, but not fun.
"Don't rush me, don't rush me. Once I finish assembling the new computer, I will immediately update the 100th chapter!"
After calming down the restless readers in the book club, Liang Xiaodong started to select a suitable graphics card based on the configuration list given by his friend.
"The Immortal Emperor's Choice? The Immortal King's Choice?"
Liang Xiaodong, who accidentally saw a product description, was suddenly stunned.
Wasn't he searching for "graphics card"? Why did this weird thing pop up?
Other people's graphics cards are introduced with terms like "e-sports grade", "dedicated for playing PUBG", "enjoy 3A gaming", etc., but how come yours has become "the Immortal Emperor's choice", "the Immortal King's choice", and "a must-have for becoming an immortal"?
As an online writer, and one who happens to write fantasy online novels, Liang Xiaodong is very familiar with these words.
His interest was piqued, and he clicked on the product details page without thinking, wanting to see what tricks the merchant was playing.
"Xianyu Digital?"
When he saw the name of this store, he couldn't help but nodded. It seemed right! No wonder he was so arrogant, talking about the Immortal Emperor and the Immortal King. It turned out to be the Immortal Domain Digital Store! Stores in the Immortal Domain are different.
Liang Xiaodong took a quick glance and found that this store should have just opened not long ago, and it only sells graphics card hardware. The products displayed in the window are all kinds of graphics cards, including A cards and N cards.
“The goods are not complete!”
"Why are there only high-end flagship graphics cards? Aren't there any mid- or low-end ones? The lowest one is 3070." He was a little surprised.
This store has something special. It only sells high-end graphics cards. It doesn't sell mid- or low-end ones at all. The cheapest one is only the 3070.
but……
Although it only sells high-end cards, the prices are still quite attractive, nearly 500 yuan cheaper than other third-party stores and nearly 300 yuan cheaper than the brand's direct stores.
I just don't know what the reputation of this store is like. Will it sell mining cards or refurbished cards? Out of curiosity, Liang Xiaodong clicked on the product review area.
"Brother Ba, you are amazing! How come you have stock of the new cards that the official Darenshuo has not yet put on the shelves?"
"Today, I will take the Immortal Emperor's weapon given by Brother Ba and sacrifice my blood to become an immortal..."
"Five-star praise! Brother Ba's products are impeccable, even the official flagship store is not as wild as his! "Tilt head and smile""
"The customer service Xiao Xin is very considerate. Once you place an order, she will join you in scolding Brother Ba. I will definitely buy from you again next time! "Thumbs up""
What?
What are these reviews? Liang Xiaodong was confused. He didn't understand what these good reviews were talking about. The pictures attached had nothing to do with graphics cards. They were all screenshots of various "game performances".
Forget it, just look at the bad reviews.
Liang Xiaodong decided to change his mindset and take a look at the negative reviews of the store. He soon saw comments that made him even more confused.
"The goods are fine, but Brother Ba deserves to die. Why didn't he strengthen the Black Turtle Supreme?"
"Why can't Tianshu Star herd cattle?"
"What about the second phase of Tianba Haoyuan? It's been so long, why haven't they announced any progress on the second phase yet?"
Liang Xiaodong: “…”
I feel there is no need to continue watching.
He couldn't understand any of the reviews, whether they were good or bad, and could only guess that this was a store that only did "business with acquaintances".
After all, the person who made the comment is obviously an acquaintance, otherwise he wouldn’t say things that outsiders can’t understand.
"The price is right, the reviews are bad... nothing wrong with it, so I just bought it here."
Liang Xiaodong has always disliked trouble, so this store, whether it was the product introduction, the store name, or the incomprehensible good and bad reviews, all suited his taste.
So he placed an order for a 4080 graphics card in a store called "Xianyu Digital".
When confirming the delivery address, customer service Xiaoxin sent a Cdkey.
"What's this?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Liang Xiaodong was very confused, so he asked the customer service what this meant.
Customer service Xiaoxin told him that every user who purchases a graphics card in this store will receive a "Star Emperor" game activation Cdkey as a gift.
"By the way, dear, 'Star Emperor' is a game developed by our family. If you are interested, you can go and play it..."
The games you developed?
Liang Xiaodong immediately became interested in the answer from customer service representative Xiaoxin.
He thought that this online store was not simple, but he never imagined that there was a game studio behind it.
Is the path so wild?
A game studio has opened an online store to sell graphics cards in order to make money. Wouldn't it be faster and more convenient to make money through in-app purchases and DLC?
Liang Xiaodong, who was extremely curious, did not think much about it and just regarded it as an interesting online shopping experience.
But just a few days later, when he received the graphics card, assembled the new computer and was about to try out the power of the new computer, he suddenly thought of the "Star Emperor" game Cdkey given by the customer service.
It would be a shame not to play the free game!
After downloading and installing the software, Liang Xiaodong entered the online mode of "Star Emperor".
No one knows what he went through.
Anyway, after playing the game, not only did he get a burst of inspiration and turned into an octopus to update two hundred chapters in one go, he also crazily recommended the game "Star Emperor" to book clubs and author groups.
"Brothers who write fantasy novels, I recommend you to play this game. It will greatly improve your description of fighting details..."
Liang Xiaodong shared his experience in the author group: "Readers used to say that my fighting scenes were just like playing house, and that a great immortal didn't have any aura. Now the comments are all praising me!"
“Is this true or false?”
The other authors were a little skeptical, but seeing Liang Xiaodong was so confident, they decided to give it a try and bought a copy of "Star Emperor".
This is so fun...
The author with a good graphics card has realized the true meaning of "genius flow", and his wonderful fighting, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and pretending to be cool and slapping people in the face plots have been well received.
The author of "Garbage Graphics Card" has realized the true meaning of "the good-for-nothing son-in-law genre". The protagonist in his novel suffers all kinds of humiliation, which makes people's fists clenched and they want to punch the villain in the book.
Don’t despise the poor youngsters! All of a sudden, everyone found inspiration.
The game "Star Emperor" was recommended by Liang Xiaodong and many authors of fairy tales and fantasy novels, and it quickly became popular in the online literature circle...
