To ascend, I had no choice but to create games

Huang Ping returned to his seat speechlessly, only to discover that Mysterious Mirror was still laughing.

But unlike before, Monkey was also laughing this time.

Leaning over, he saw that the screen displayed several Goblins clumped together, completely clueless as to why it was funny.

When Monkey had almost laughed himself out, Huang Ping asked in bewilderment, “Where’s the funny part?”

Wiping away the tears from his laughter, Monkey pointed at the screen and said, “I was teaching these Goblins how to get dressed, but they had no idea what clothes were. So I told them to find something to cover themselves with, and they ended up calling other Goblins to hide themselves.”

Huang Ping: …What an Easter egg! Stupid AI, right!

Upon further thought, it seemed amusing.

This world, though absurd and unrestrained, has its own logic and rules. Playing the role of a teacher here is undoubtedly full of challenges, with no way to predict what will happen next.

Adjusting his mood, Huang Ping set aside his existing gaming experience and entered this world like a child. He soon discovered that abandoning logic and playing this game was truly joyful.

The whole game was a collection of problems. Though it could generally run, the occasional issues made it irresistible to exclaim, “You can do that too!”

Inside the studio, peals of laughter rose and fell, making Fang Cheng wonder if he had got the method wrong again.

Teaching should be a joyful affair, but not this joyful, surely.

Fortunately, as colleagues gradually unlocked the main storyline, things finally improved.

The educational aspects of the Law were bolstered by the God of Education, who had already patched its relevant flaws.

To reduce the difficulty for players, education was broken down into various rituals. As long as players performed the rituals, the corresponding effects would be produced, causing a continuous educational impact based on the players’ skill levels and attribute bonuses.

Furthermore, the game had many secrets to uncover. The overall worldview was vast and logically rich, leaving Huang Ping and others declaring, after playing, that they hadn’t encountered such a rebellious yet fascinating game in quite a while.

Although not entirely in agreement with the rebellious part, Fang Cheng felt that minor issues were inconsequential, especially after noticing that Dustfire had turned green.

The studio had passed this milestone, and the next step was to repair the blanks inside to make it even more interesting.

By the time it was fully developed, Huang Ping dared to say it might not be the studio’s best game, but it would definitely be the most joyful.

All sorts of crazy plots could be found in the game, with character motivations so outlandish they’d leave people dumbfounded. Just thinking about the players’ reactions to the game made Huang Ping chuckle uncontrollably, and he couldn’t wait to see it go live.

After a simple warm-up, the new game “New World” went online.

The popularity of “Remember Me” still lingered, and the release of “New World” immediately leveraged this momentum to storm the top of the sales charts on Steam and various platforms, quickly dominating.

The digital version of the game was priced at 98, while the physical version was 128. In addition to the digital copy, the physical edition also came with a “New World” blind box containing various in-game dolls or weapons. After drawing one, players could register it at the Game Inn forum, and the prize would be sent shortly after.

Since Gong Gong took over the Spirit Grass Factory, the massive facility had finally been put to good use. The organic combination of physical and digital allowed Fang Cheng Studio to accumulate a large following of die-hard fans and further expand its influence.

Meanwhile, Gong Gong started streaming “New World” in her live broadcast room. Every fifteen minutes, the white-haired loli would burst into laughter, her stream filled with memorable catchphrases and emoticons, which further ignited the fervor for “New World.”

This promotional method left other game developers green with envy.

After all, even good wine needs to be sold down the alley in this day and age. To push their products, game developers stopped at nothing, and the cost of buying traffic had soared to two hundred yuan per user.

In other words, if a player didn’t spend at least two hundred yuan in the game, it would be operating at a loss.

The distorted gaming ecosystem forced developers to shift their focus to mobile games, while Fang Cheng Studio thrived on single-player and online games. Its sales volume grew naturally, achieving enviable figures, making everyone else jealous.
