Chapter 1: How could a struggling writer like me possibly make games?
"Shameless scoundrel! Dare to expose your IP address?! I'll send you razor blades!"
"What a piece of trash game! It's just pure torture for players!"
"Ha! How dare he mock us players for being bad at the game? Brothers, let's take him down on Weibo!"
In the first chapter, the male protagonist, Xiao Chunan, wakes up from his sleep.
Looking at the messages on Weibo, his arrogant face was exposed.
It even gave a very vivid description.
His lips curled up, resembling a crooked-mouthed dragon king.
"Tsk! That's how it should be, our lazy protagonist!"
As Shen Huaizhou frantically typed out the details on WPS, he sighed with emotion:
"In this era of rampant entertainment, if I wrote an essay on game development, I should be able to win one of the 'Twelve Heavenly Kings,' right?"
"These games don't exist in this world."
Ever since I started thinking about becoming a plagiarist.
Then inspiration suddenly came rushing into my mind.
Shen Huaizhou's hands never stopped moving.
Xiao Chunan woke up, urged on by private messages on Weibo.
Also a transmigrator, he inherited the identity of the former owner of the game studio.
"But all he was thinking about was going bankrupt and going home to inherit his status as a second-generation coal mine owner."
So, they released a small game called "Getting Over It".
Unexpectedly, within just one day, this game became a viral sensation in a small circle.
"My Weibo private messages are full of people angrily denouncing the author as heartless."
Brush your teeth, wash your face, and eat breakfast.
After reaching the third stage, Xiao Chunan opened Weibo to check the comments.
"You shameless scoundrel! What do you mean?! Are you saying I'm too clumsy to play your game?"
"You scoundrel! Report your IP address right now!"
"Old dog Xiao, I have never seen such a shameless person!"
The male lead, Xiao Chunan, sports the classic crooked-mouthed dragon king's smiling face.
I quickly replied to each and every private message.
"Can't even beat such a simple game? You should reflect on your own performance."
"Isn't this game so easy that anyone with hands can play?"
"Too easy, I could pass it with my feet!"
Chapter One, finished.
I neglected the keyboard for a moment and admired the contents of my first chapter.
Only then was this chapter uploaded to the author assistant's backend.
Today is the seventh day since Shen Huaizhou was reborn and transmigrated.
After a whole week, he finally accepted that he had become a time traveler.
I, Shen Huaizhou, a struggling writer on Qidian.com, how could something like time travel happen to me?
If I remember correctly, it happened when I was changing the water in the fish tank. The filter was leaking electricity, but then it was fixed in a flash.
Other transmigrators were at least transported here by mass transport, so why am I so miserable?
For the past week, Shen Huaizhou has been doing one thing.
That was to conduct a small survey of the surrounding environment and current world culture.
The result is—
This is a world where entertainment reigns supreme.
Aside from some music I hadn't heard before.
Even games are similar but different things.
In this world, I am a producer at a low-level independent game studio.
Based on his observations of his two partners over the past few days.
Unsurprisingly, the studio is already experiencing a cash shortage.
This immediately put Shen Huaizhou in a crisis.
Or, we could just sell the studio.
The three partners each took a sum of money and then went home to work as security guards.
I continued writing two chapters until I had written a total of 6,000 words.
You can directly send the content to the editor through the writer's assistant.
Commonly known as internal projection.
The editor will determine within a working day whether your book is worth writing, and if so, they will sign it.
Upload successful!
Upon seeing the notification from the author assistant's backend, Shen Huaizhou was about to close the page.
Suddenly, a deep blue curtain appeared before my eyes.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have been bound to the Online Novel Transmigrator Gift Pack!]
[The Gaming and Entertainment Master System is now activated.]
[Host: Shen Huaizhou.]
[Published novel: "I'm just giving up, but I want to drive the players crazy!"]
[No works mentioned in the novel.]
[Novel Popularity: 0]
As this page appeared, a dark annotation was also placed in front of me.
[Note: Novel popularity is calculated based on collections, subscriptions, and monthly tickets, which can be redeemed for games and abilities within the novel.]
[The work must be a game that has already existed on Earth, and it must be completely unrelated to the current world.]
The higher the popularity of a work, the more likely it is to spark the ninth art revolution in the world.
"Huh? What's going on?"
The system knew that it was not cut out for making games at all, and that even if it transmigrated, it could only write novels.
So, he gave himself a big gift?
Wow! This system is in the atmosphere.
Shen Huaizhou carefully considered the functions of the [Game and Entertainment Master System].
In other words, popularity points are equivalent to currency; the more people know about your novels, the more popular they become.
Can you extract it from the novel yourself?
but--
On the Penguin Reading platform, where I just published my novel, I'm just a newbie at level 1.
How long will it take me to accumulate enough popularity points to redeem a work?
However, I should submit the novel to the editor as soon as possible.
What if the editor has a keen eye and recognizes its talent?
……
Penguin Reading is a novel reading platform under Donghuang Penguin Technology.
This platform aggregates several websites, including those targeting male and female audiences.
There are countless novels in various sections, especially entertainment novels!
You can't write entertainment articles if you've never been a celebrity.
There are professional League of Legends players who also write League of Legends-related articles.
There are also anime fans who write anime fanfiction, comic artists who create comic fanfiction, and so on.
As for game development! Because the gaming industry in this world is still in its early, burgeoning stages.
There are quite a few writers, most of whom are works that exist in this world, and I don't recognize any of them.
But—these guys, updating 10,000 words a day is one thing, but there are even 30,000 words a day!
"No—there are amazing people in this world too?"
Shen Huaizhou casually glanced at the list and was immediately stunned by the tentacle monster who updated tens of thousands of words a day.
Suddenly, he sat up straight!
"I'm writing 8,000 words a day, will I get completely crushed by these big shots?"
Thinking that he was at least a Level 2 author before he came here, Shen Huaizhou instantly felt confident in himself.
then--
I yawned and decided to take a nap.
Then, a familiar voice came from outside the office:
"Old Su, do we really not have much money left in our account? Why don't we just listen to Old Shen and send everyone home?"
"But isn't making games our lifelong dream? What would we do if we went back?"
"If you ask me, I'd rather go back to being a security guard."
