I Just Want Players to Save Money, They Insist on Giving Me!

Chapter 331: Chapter 124: The Ultimate Gift Pack Revolution! A Battle with One’s Back to the River? The Electric Meter Reverses!_2

But now there’s a remedy!

I can just activate ’Back to the River,’ then take the 9,500 turnover I’ve already earned and reinvest it into various aspects of ’Pubg.’

I could spend the money to continue optimizing the game.

Or I could spend the money to produce some merchandise to give away to players for free.

In any case, as long as I push the turnover down, once I’ve spent down to 5,000,

the System’s real-time turnover display will only show 5,000.

"Holy shit! Major power-up!" Ke Jin, having clarified the situation, immediately got stars in his eyes.

This isn’t just pie in the sky anymore.

This wave is like Brother Tong Zi serving up a delicious meat-filled pie right in front of me and, worried about me choking, has thoughtfully prepared a big bottle of water on the side.

There’s nothing more to say.

Brother Tong Zi, I am rich, but I will not forget!

After I take off from here, boldly give me the coordinates of your System Nebula!

Sending a brain is too hilarious, I don’t have the capability for that, but getting someone to brush thousands of five-star reviews for you, and then taking a leisurely stroll to your old home from the third Blue Star is definitely not a problem!

Thinking back to how he had just mentally pressured Brother Tong Zi, even intending to pen a little essay mocking Brother Tong Zi’s inaction for the rest of System Village to laugh at,

Ke Jin was filled with remorse.

I’m such an asshole, I really should die!

However, after getting excited briefly, Ke Jin quickly calmed down again.

It’s not the first time he’s benefited from a system’s favor as a young man.

Knowing oneself and the enemy ensures victory in every battle.

The ’Back to the River’ buff, though fierce,

made Ke Jin, who had failed too many times before, carefully analyze its possible downsides, to avoid missing out on a good situation due to blind confidence.

According to the supplemental explanation when the buff was described,

Firstly, the secondary investment must be rational.

Doing something like "taking a ten million turnover as a reward for players to draw from" would be clearly absurd.

The degree of what’s rational is something Ke Jin still had to figure out.

Given Brother Tong Zi’s temperament, even if you occasionally go overboard, it would probably turn a blind eye and prompt you, instead of outright declaring the task failed.

Secondly, this turnover can only be used for game-related investments.

This ruled out Ke Jin’s plan to use the turnover by giving his staff huge pay raises.

You can say it’s reasonable to ask your staff to work overtime to optimize the game and give them triple overtime pay.

But to say each person gets a one million bonus for their dedicated effort in optimizing the game,

that’s plainly treating Brother Tong Zi like a fool.

Therefore, what counts as game-related investment is something else to figure out slowly through trial and error.

The last point in the hint, and the most crucial to treat with caution,

is that the task’s limit may change after activating the ’Back to the River’ buff.

What does that mean?

It means that the turnover needs to be no more than ten million originally, but after activating ’Back to the River,’ it might fluctuate to below eight million, or even six million, increasing the difficulty of the task.

Ke Jin could understand this restriction.

After all, without this layer, one could just intentionally wait until the last few hours of the last day,

find a way to spend a large amount of turnover all at once on the players.

Guarantee a hundred percent task completion.

But doing that would be akin to Brother Tong Zi practically giving away the ultimate gift package for free.

If it were so easy to give away, it would have been done so already, without the subsequent need for so much effort to repeatedly help optimize the ultimate gift package.

It seems Brother Tong Zi has tough scriptures at home to chant as well.

"Brother Tong Zi, trust me! This time I will most definitely..." Ke Jin started to say but swallowed the rest of his words.

Ke Jin, who had learned from many past mistakes, now had to be extra careful even when saying words meant to boost morale at the start.

worried about setting up a flag only to be punished by some unfathomable fate.

I’m keeping my mouth shut!

I can at least think it in my heart, right?

’Back to the River’?

Watch my electricity meter spin backward!

"We common folk~are genuinely happy today."

Early in the morning, Ke Jun got up bright and early, humming a tune as he cleaned the house spotlessly.

He didn’t have any courses scheduled for the entire day.

However, the rascal texted last night saying he would be home today, so he couldn’t go fishing either.

In accordance with Mrs. Ke’s instructions, he planned to go to the market to buy some groceries, looking forward to making a sumptuous feast at midday for the rascal and his darling daughter.

"Talk about this rascal, mixing so well without making a sound, why keep hiding it from us. Using such a lame excuse as a company team-building trip to go out and play for a few days, he doesn’t even dare to tell us the truth," while adjusting his appearance in the mirror, Ke Jun opened his mouth to say.

Mrs. Ke, who was watering the flowers, gave him an annoyed look: "You’re the chief culprit for that day’s events, and you still have the nerve to ask."

"I was just afraid he would... go down the wrong path. After all... never mind, let’s not talk about that," Ke Jun trailed off, shook his head, put down the comb, and said, "I’m off."

Just as he pushed the door open, he saw the neighbor Zhang also coming out, dressed in sportswear, ready to go for a run in the park.

The two exchanged a glance.

"Yo, good morning, Ke," Zhang greeted him with a smile.

Ke Jun smiled back, "How do you also know about my son getting the Huaxia Nation’s Best Artist of the Year award?"

Zhang was taken aback, "Huh?"

"Didn’t you watch the art award ceremony yesterday?" Ke Jun put his arm around Zhang’s shoulder, "Come on, since we’re headed the same way, let me tell you all about it, it went like this..."
