Chapter 4 The number one in the city turned out to be

Chapter 4 The number one in the city turned out to be...

Two days later.

With little savings left, Chen Ba tried to submit his resume several times, hoping to find a job for a temporary transition.

But unfortunately, his career was in darkness, and the resume he sent out was just like the love letters he sent out in high school, sinking into the sea without any movement.

“It’s hard to make money and hard to eat shit!”

After taking a bite of the big white and fat steamed bun, Chen Ba seemed to feel that his mouth was tasteless, so he dipped it in some old lady's hot sauce.

This is his lunch.

He calls himself an independent game producer, but he is actually half-unemployed. Currently, he is seriously lacking a source of income. If he is not frugal, he may not even be able to pay the rent.

Yesterday Wang Kun told him that the game area UP owner had promised to make a video for [Hanchuang Kudu Simulator].

"Brother, you are going to be popular!"

Wang Kun was very excited. He seemed to think that with the promotion of Amway by such a game zone UP owner, the games produced by Chen Ba would soon become popular.

But Chen Ba didn’t think so.

He is just a gaming video blogger with 170,000 fans. Even if his videos are really popular, it may be difficult to convert them into game sales.

This is especially true for games like [Hanchuang Kushu Simulator], which you may find boring if you watch others play it once.

"Thank God if I can sell 100 copies! My goal is not high. If the total sales exceed 1,000, I will treat you to a feast..."

Chen Ba, who pays attention to game sales every day, knows very well that the current sales of the game are only seven copies in total.

That’s right!

In the past two days, only two "real" gamers have been added.

There were a few more comments.

The originally empty comment section suddenly had two positive reviews. Looking at the game duration, they were all core players who had played the game for more than 10 hours.

One of the users named "Sing and Dance Rap", Chen Ba knew without guessing that it was Wang Kun, and the praise he wrote was meaningless.

Another player who gave the game a perfect score and recommended it was nicknamed "Qian Duoduo", who happened to have the same name as the UP owner of the game area that Wang Kun mentioned.

Chen Ba has been paying attention to him.

Since Wang Kun helped recommend [Han Chuang Kudu Simulator] to this UP host, he would check out the latest updates of this UP host every day.

After waiting for two days, nothing happened.

"You won't be fooled..."

Chen Ba muttered to himself, didn't he agree to make a video for [Han Chuang Kudu Simulator]? Why has it been two days and it still hasn’t been sent out?

Just when he was wondering whether the UP owner had played the game and felt there was no need to make a video specifically about it, a push message suddenly popped up on the notification bar of his phone.

"The UP owner you follow @Qian Duoduo has released a new video, come and check it out at Pili Pili!"

Huh?

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!

After finishing the steamed buns in three licks and taking a gulp of Fat House Happy Water, Chen Ba quickly clicked on Pili Pili on his mobile phone to see if the video was what he thought.

[After three years of herding cattle, I finally got into the high school of my choice. Dad, I have a future! 】

Yo?

You're pretty good at picking out titles!

When he saw this title, Chen Ba didn't realize the seriousness of the problem. He just thought it was interesting that the UP owner could come up with such a "catchy" video title.

As the saying goes, if the title is good, the number of views is inevitable.

Putting aside everything else, just because of the title of the video, Chen Ba felt that the number of views would not be less than 200,000. If the cover was slightly changed to be more magical, it would not be impossible to reach 500,000 or even 1 million.

It’s a perfect grasp of the audience!

"Hello, friends, I am Qian Duoduo! Today we are going to play a super, super, super, super realistic pixel style simulation game - Hanchuang Kushu Simulator!"

As soon as the video started, Qian Duoduo's highly recognizable voice came from the loudspeaker.

I saw him skillfully naming the character "Qian Duoduo", then entering the game, and explaining the game content to the audience while playing.

"This game, despite its abstract and rough graphics, is actually quite positive at its core. It should be regarded as an inspirational game to encourage learning."

"At the beginning of the game, we will play the role of a freshman in junior high school who comes from a poor family and is frail and sick..."

The video was edited, and the progress of the game was very fast. As a game producer, Chen Ba knew very well that some irrelevant content had been cut out by the UP owner.

But this is normal.

After all, if there is no editing, how many hours will this video take based on the length of the entire game?

"...Okay, the first semester is over, and we are entering the winter vacation ranked fourth in the grade."

"In order to improve results as much as possible, we need to make up for the English subject experience that has been lagging behind during the winter vacation."

"I recommend everyone to arrange it like me. First go cut pig grass to accumulate motivation for learning, and then do side tasks to get buffs..."

As the video progresses, many game plots are also presented to the audience, such as the most classic reading under the moon, father and son talking, etc.

Since the video was uploaded not long ago, the number of comments is not very large.

But in these few barrages, most of the audience, like Qian Xin, was impressed by the perseverance and great character of the game protagonist.

"Come on, big brother who herds cattle!"

"It's really hard reading in the cold window. No matter it's windy or raining outside, I always hold a book and read it. I seem to see the shadow of myself."

"The people in the village are so vicious..."

"It's too vicious, but the gossiping and sarcastic remarks are real. I've been through this before."

The video is still playing.

As Qian Duoduo explained, the audience saw a protagonist who always remained optimistic no matter what difficulties he encountered.

This also moved everyone very much.

Knowledge alters your fate!

After seeing the protagonist in the game working so hard to get into the high school of his choice, the audience in front of the screen suddenly understood this sentence better.

"732 points, third in the city!"

As a barrage of "We are the champions" and a string of flower emoticons floated in front of the screen, this video seemed to have come to an end.

Chen Ba thought so too.

The 25-minute video has almost shown the audience all the more critical plots and core gameplay content in the game process.

If nothing else, this video should end here.

But Chen Ba discovered that the progress bar of the video was still so long? Could it be that he guessed wrong and there is still room to finish the game?

"...Seeing that Qian Duoduo was admitted to his favorite high school as he wished, I think you, like me, are happy and proud of his achievements."

"Han Chuang studied these four words hard. It's easy to say, but if you don't experience it yourself, you will never understand the hardship."

"I think Qian Duoduo deserves a better ending! So I chose to delete this save and start over..."

ah?

Are you not satisfied with ranking third in the city?

After seeing Qian Duoduo delete the archive and open a new one, Chen Ba in front of the screen was stunned.

What is this for?

The third place in the city is already considered an excellent result among the many endings of the game.

As for being number one in the city...

It’s not impossible, it’s just too difficult!

You must grasp every event buff in the game and make no mistakes at the same time, in order to achieve the first achievement in the city.

It's not necessary!

As the producer of the game, Chen Ba knows better than anyone how difficult it is to achieve a perfect ending. It can be said that the purpose of a perfect ending is just to earn game achievements for those bored players.

It’s just a video, there’s no need to spend so much time trying to get a perfect ending, right?

"After my keen observation, I found that there is a bug in the game, that is, the cattle herding event conflicts with the school event."

"That is, during school hours, if you are in the state of herding cattle, the bug will be triggered, blocking the school event that should be executed, and the cattle herding event will continue to loop indefinitely."

"And the most important thing is that learning motivation can be superimposed, infinitely! Learning motivation can improve the efficiency of acquiring subject experience, so here's the problem..."

"What will happen if I herd cattle for three years and start studying the day before the exam?"

ah? !

This time Chen Ba was really shocked.

Looking at the video, Qian Duoduo controls the character to take advantage of this loophole, and herds the cows with unlimited bugs. He has been herding the cows for three years. In addition to sleeping, he herds the cows every day until his physical strength is completely exhausted...

What does it mean to herd cattle for three years?

This means that the superimposed "learning motivation" value reaches an extremely terrifying seven digits.

The seven-digit learning motivation directly created a miracle.

The protagonist of the game, "Qian Duoduo," has been herding cattle for three years without going to school for a single day. He studied intensively the day before the high school entrance examination, and then scored 748 points, ranking first in the city.

"???"

"Give me back my touch!"

"Laughing so hard, how could there be such a ridiculous bug..."

"Compared to the outrageousness of this bug, I think UP is even more outrageous because it can actually trigger this bug!"

"Is he really a genius?"

A series of question marks and shocked expressions floated across the barrage. After all, even Chen Ba was confused by this incredible bug, let alone the audience in front of the screen.

Is this...this special meow okay?
