Fish-Catching Internet Cafe’s losses had reassured Pei Qian greatly. As for Boss Pei’s Daily Life and Game Designer, they both had signs of losing steam as well. If something else happened with Fish-Catching Internet Cafe again, Pei Qian’s heart might not be able to take it anymore.

Fortunately, Ma Yang would never let him down! Pei Qian settled down a little.

He was still most concerned now with Game Designer. The internet cafe continued to incur losses. Although three hundred thousand seemed like a lot, it was the icing on the cake and wasn’t that substantial.

As for Boss Pei’s Daily Life… Pei Qian’s only wish was for it not to engage in sponsored partnerships.

“Next, I have to continue paying attention to Game Designer; I can’t allow anyone to pull any stunts! I must learn my lesson from Ocean Stronghold the previous time.

“Previously, I had not delved into Ocean Stronghold and played it for long; I had only seen the story mode and the 888 Red Kilin and thought that all was good. In the end, it wasn’t that case at all!

“This time, I must play the game through from start to end!”

Thinking of this, Pei Qian was a little anxious.

Everyone said that it was hard to make money.

For me—why was it that it was so hard to make a loss?!

…

March 25th…

Game Designer was finally officially completed. It was in late-stage modification and bug fixing now.

Pei Qian asked for the latest version of the game from the developing team and installed it on his computer. He was going to have a go at it from the start! Although he knew every choice and result like the back of his hand, Pei Qian still wanted to complete the entire gameplay once.

The release date for the game was April 1st.

To release a game on April Fool’s Day; yes, he was that reckless! If Pei Qian really found something in the game now that might result in it being popular, there still was time to fix and rectify it by April 1st.

As for publicity…

Pei Qian had given up on struggling.

Different from the past two times, Tengda Games now was rather well-known. With Ghost General and Ocean Stronghold’s reputations, Tengda had gained in popularity.

To date, all of Tengda’s games had been released through the official games platform. Once Game Designer was released, some Ghost General and Ocean Stronghold players would definitely come to try it out!

Under these circumstances—regardless of whether he did advertising or not, it would not affect Game Designer that much.

The crux was the game itself.

Pei Qian had done so many things in the game to mock gamers; that was where his confidence was at! Pei Qian started the game from the very beginning. Every segment, every result, every voice-over; he paid much attention to them.

“…Lu Mingliang’s dubbing is actually not bad? How did he make out this irritating and cheapskate voice? It’s so boring. There’s no point in running, really. This voice-over keeps on mocking me; can I just go and beat Lu Mingliang up now…”

“How long more do I have to run…? Hang in there…”

Pei Qian felt that he was in a trance; Game Designer had created the ultimate urge in him to quit playing. Although Ruan Guangjian had personally created the animation and concept designs and the entire game’s artistic style was rather unique—to Pei Qian, these were tasteless.

Why?

Every single choice, every voice-over… had been written by Pei Qian!

Walking in a room, he was faced with an umpteenth number of choices. For a gamer, after every door and every decision, an unknown awaited them. However, for Pei Qian, he knew clearly what was going to happen.

Knowing what was going to happen well; would this game be fun?

Just like if one was watching a detective drama, and he already knew who the killer was—what the ending was like. No matter how good or splendid the process was, it would not have that good an effect.
