Chapter 158: Chapter 158 Waiting for Brother Tongzi to Make a Move

Wu Mu’s latest Weibo post naturally grabbed a lot of attention.

"What? Wu suddenly wants to make a game?"

"Out of the blue, an idol star doing video games?"

"Actually, when you think about Wu’s usual image, I’m not surprised he’s making a game. He did make one before, after all, but does he really need crowdfunding? Shouldn’t he have enough funds?"

"I checked out his crowdfunding page, and it seems like it’s sort of a preorder thing. He’s already made a game demo."

In Beijing, at the New Life Weekly editorial department, Han Yan, who was slacking off, also saw Wu Mu’s new Weibo post.

Well, she didn’t follow Wu’s Weibo, she heard about it from the Wu anti-fan group she had joined.

Right when Wu posted, the anti-fans had shared screenshots in the group.

Naturally, what followed was a wave of mockery.

"Ha, that’s dog’s back at it, scamming his fans."

"Disgusting, he pops up to shear his sheep every once in a while."

"He clearly isn’t short on money, but he still wants to crowdfund a game? Isn’t that just openly a money grab? Who the hell knows what junk he’ll end up making."

"Ha, he can make a game? He made some trash no one played before, but it sure inflated his confidence. He’s now making an indie game? This is just ridiculous."

"And there are actually idiots willing to pay him. I really don’t get where all these brain-dead fans come from, ready to support him in anything."

Everyone was just scoffing as usual, and although an idol star making a game seemed odd, based on Wu’s previous image, they really couldn’t pinpoint anything seriously wrong.

That was until someone posted Wu’s crowdfunding goal figures.

"Is it just me, or did this dog actually set his minimum crowdfunding goal to ten million?"

An anti-fan shared a screenshot of Wu’s crowdfunding tier goals.

Looking at the string of numbers on the screenshot, everyone was undoubtedly stunned.

What?

No way?

This dog’s so full of himself?

The top tier is fifty million?

Based on the post-release price of 35 Chinese Yuan each he mentioned, does he really think he can sell at least one point four million copies?

Just made a game demo and he thinks he can hit sales of one point four million?

Really, how many domestic single-player games even break the million mark?

Even if he can make a game, can he really sell a game with over a million in sales?

Thinks he’s some famous designer now?

Ridiculous.

Inflated ego to the point of absurdity!!

...

Absurd?

Wu Mu didn’t think so at all.

Vampire Survivor very well had the potential for tens of millions in sales.

Even coming to Blue Star, he couldn’t be guaranteed the same popularity as in his past life, but getting a third or a half of the sales figures should be no problem.

Moreover, he also had the system running a promotional campaign for him. With the system’s operational push, maybe the sales could even surpass those of his past life.

Yep, now he just had to wait for Tongzi’s move.

Wu leisurely sat in a shady spot at the convention center, waiting for the system to make its move.

Actually, he could conduct the crowdfunding online since the game demo could be downloaded from the internet, and the crowdfunding channel was a direct online payment system.

But how would that score him screen time?

Plus, when he did his live broadcast selling songs, he had already verified that the system would amplify his actions.

Just staying home and waiting for the system to take action, who knew how many days it would take to fulfill those Performance Cards.

But hitting up a major gaming convention was different. He guessed that the system should take advantage of the game show to help promote and fulfill his sales.

Although the place where Wu and others were staying was heavily trafficked, it was still outside the venue. Everyone was eager to get inside to see the show, so most people just glanced and kept walking without stopping.

But there’s never a shortage of people who are curious and love watching the commotion.

Soon, a well-built white guy who looked like an athlete stopped in his tracks.

...

Phil Sabins was the CEO of Weiying Group’s gaming division.

At the Paris Game Show, he also led a team to promote their newly released console.

He ran into a friend and got caught up in conversation, so he didn’t enter the exhibit with his team.

After finishing the chat with his friend, he was about to enter alone.

But before he could get in, at the entrance of the exhibit hall, he spotted a strange little booth.

Someone actually set up a private booth at the entrance, like a street vendor.

With no pressing matters at hand, he approached out of curiosity to see what the fuss was about.

Crowdfunding for their own game development?

He looked at the sign on the ground at the booth with interest.

This person sure had ideas, using a game exhibition for promotion.

His gaze swept over the contents on the sign on the ground.

When he reached the targeted fundraising amount, he didn’t pay much attention at first, just glancing over it.

But soon, feeling that something was off, he focused his attention back on the string of zeros.

Why did it feel like there were too many zeros?

Subconsciously, he, like Wang Xiaotian before him, counted the zeros behind the digits.

And then...

What the fuck?

Ten million for the first tier?

Fifty million for the fifth tier?

Phil Sabins had a look on his face like he’d seen a ghost.

Even as the CEO of the Weiying Group’s gaming division, he couldn’t consider fifty million a small sum.

If he didn’t recognize the symbol for the Chinese Yuan, he would have almost thought the person had written it in Zimbabwean dollars.

Way too outrageous, just how does someone who set up a private booth outside the venue manage to crowdfund such exaggerated capital?

He suspected that this overly handsome man, who didn’t look one bit like a game developer, was engaging in some sort of performance art.

But doubts aside, he couldn’t help but be curious deep down inside.

What kind of game instills this level of confidence in a person, allowing them to set their crowdfunding goal to fifty million?

He pointed to the computer in front of him and inquired, "Can I try playing it?"

Wu Mu readily nodded, "You can."

Phil stood in front of Wu Mu’s laptop, looking at the game demo on the screen, and his initial impression was undoubtedly one of disappointment.

Such poor graphics quality?

It looked like it was going to be a total flop.

But since he was there, it was only right to give it a try for himself.

He clicked to start the game.

And then a pixelated little character wielding a whip appeared on a green, mosaiced map, surrounded by black bat-like creatures attacking the character.

Huh, the character auto-attacks without needing his control?

A pretty novel design, but wouldn’t it be boring without needing to attack manually?

Phil instinctively used the arrow keys to maneuver the character, dodging the monsters’ assaults, while the on-screen character automatically whipped at the surrounding creatures.

After dodging for a while, he felt a sense of disappointment as the game screem seemed to just be repeating dodging and attacking. Is this all there is to the game?

That’s way too boring.

And as he was thinking this, the pixelated character he controlled stepped on a crystal dropped by a defeated monster.

Following a rousing sound effect, a shower of petals fell.

Leveled up.

A few weapons appeared below for him to choose from.

After a few seconds of thought, he chose the icon of a blue potion bottle.

Then, watching as every few seconds a potion would fall from the sky and kill the monsters below, his interest piqued.

Hmm, this game might be a bit interesting?

He was beginning to grasp the game’s mechanics.

Minimize the attack operation and enhance the player’s choice feedback?

A very innovative approach to gameplay. He hesitated to make a final judgment on whether it was enjoyable since he’d just started playing, but from these small details, it undoubtedly revealed that the creator had their own unique logic in game design.
