"In this way, the contract is completed!"
Lilith took the quill and contract from Gu Fan with joy on her face.
The contract was very long. It was dragged from mid-air to the ground and rolled up several times. It was a bit like a receipt at a convenience store cashier that had not been torn for a long time.
As for Lilith, this powerful demon's human image is that of a delinquent girl.
She wears gray twin tails and two golden reverse cross hairpins. She wears a black T-shirt with a red bloody pattern on her upper body, and denim shorts with damaged edges and silver and white pendants on her lower body. She wears two colors on her feet. over-the-knee socks and thick-soled leather boots with a black and white skull pattern.
Although she may give people a "cute" illusion when faced with French fries and Coke, Gu Fan knows very well that her true identity is a cunning, cunning, and extremely terrifying devil from hell!
"I didn't expect that my life as a time traveler has just begun and is about to end..."
Gu Fan looked at the "game design draft" provided by Lilith and sighed in his heart.
Yes, he is a time traveler.
This is a parallel world similar to the previous life, the time is the Imperial Capital in 2024. As a programmer with strong technical skills, Gu Fan was eager to make a career.
But before the time travel was completed, his soul was cut off by Lilith.
"Hello, time traveler, you don't want others to know about your time travel, right?"
Gu Fan's time traveler soul could not enter the body of the aboriginal people, so he was forced to sign this devil's contract.
The content of the contract is that Lilith will provide him with a life span of fifty years, and he will work for Lilith, writing code and developing games.
As for why Hell has kept pace with the times and started a side job? Lilith explained it this way.
“Oh, it’s annoying to talk about it!
“We were doing well and our traditional business was doing well, but the situation has changed in the past two years.
"A number of senior executives from your big factory died. After going to hell, they somehow deceived that old guy Lucifer and made him confused.
"What fission, gripper, coupling, alignment granularity, empowerment, etc...
"In the end, Lao Lu really thought that there was a big problem with the organizational structure in hell. He insisted on engaging in "flat management" and "developing new business models." Not only senior executives like me had to personally handle the business, but all the demons There are also a lot of indicators pressed on!
"These indicators rely on traditional business to be impossible to complete as scheduled. I can only keep pace with the times and try to use games to harvest people's negative emotions on a large scale!"
Thus, this magical company "Inverse Heaven Games" was established.
Gu Fan appears to be the legal representative of this company, but in fact he is a hard-working programmer who has been kidnapped by a devil's contract and has no freedom at all.
He must strictly follow Lilith's requirements to make the game. If he violates it, his lifespan will be revoked immediately!
On the surface, the benefits in this contract seem pretty good.
As the president and chief designer of "Nitiantian Games", Gu Fan not only gets a basic salary of 8,000 per month and 5% of the game's profits as a bonus, but also gets corresponding fame and social status.
If "Nitiantian Games" is lucky enough to become the most valuable game company in the world, Gu Fan can immediately terminate the contract and regain his freedom.
But how could the contract signed by the devil not be a trap?
This contract is full of pitfalls, and the biggest pitfall is: if the game cannot make money, then except for the basic salary of 8,000 per month, everything else is a blank check!
The first game Lilith wants to make is called "Hell Tracks".
The main content of the game is: the seal of the Gate of Hell is loosened, and various powerful demons emerge from Hell. Players need to play the role of soldiers with live ammunition, proceed from the human city to the Gate of Hell, track the trajectory of the invasion of Hell, and eliminate them along the way. All kinds of demons, and finally sealed the gate of hell.
In terms of content, this is a very standard FPS (first-person shooter) game.
But if you look closely, you will find that there is a serious disparity between the humans played by the players and the demons played by the AI!
The firearms on the player's side are all common guns in FPS games, such as Desert Eagle, AK47, sniper rifles, etc.
On the other hand, the firearms equipped by the devil can be described as "outrageous". For example, "Hellfire Gatling", "Apocalypse Heavy Cannon", "Plague Smoke Bomb" and so on.
The properties of these firearms have been comprehensively enhanced. The fire rate, lethality, attack range and other properties all completely crush the players' conventional weapons!
Not only that, the AI on the demon side is also outrageous.
In the design plan, Lilith set the AI of all these demons to the highest level, which means that their reaction speed and shooting accuracy can completely crush most humans, and even professional players will have to take a beating!
Gu Fan has no doubt that if the plan is strictly followed, the vast majority of players will probably be persuaded to quit in front of the first demon mob in the first level.
The charging model of this game is also incredible: the price is only 18 yuan, and you have to try it for 2 hours before paying.
Obviously, Lilith has no intention of making money from this game at all. She has only one purpose, and that is to trick players into it as much as possible and harvest negative emotions as quickly as possible!
These games can neither make money nor gain reputation.
Nitiantian Games can only become a garbage game production factory, and Gu Fan will be despised by thousands of people and become a Class A war criminal in the gaming industry!
As for the condition for terminating the contract that "Nittian Games becomes the most valuable game company in the world", it will never be achieved.
That's why Gu Fancai said that his life as a time traveler has just begun and is already coming to an end!
