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

Chapter 443: Chapter 154: Humph, Tycoons Are Always One Step Behind Me!_3

The key lies in this fact:

Low-cost Chess pieces were almost unwanted by the players.

Who could have guessed that such an unremarkable one-cost card could burst into such dazzling sparks?

Therefore, God Nick acquired these Chess pieces almost effortlessly.

This lineup appeared out of nowhere and almost killed the game at the start of the fifth round.

Once again, it refreshed players’ understanding of the unfathomable upper limits of "Cloud Top"!

The top player was still consistently performing!

There are still new strategies in "Cloud Top" waiting to be explored by players!

The game they designed, after hundreds of thousands of players frantically tested it online, is still filled with a continuous stream of fresh and updated ideas!

All kinds of out-of-this-world tactics!

All kinds of ingenious strategies!

Even revolving around a mere Hex, or even items, or even one-cost Chess pieces, they could instantly develop a set of strategies astonishingly gratifying!

The grand stage of Cloud Top, come if you dream!

He Xi, unable to control his feelings, started one game after another.

Although there were times he lost.

But after secretly learning God Nick’s management strategies, and taking advantage of the fact that others hadn’t learned them yet, He Xi’s overall gaming experience...

Was mainly dominating; watching as 3-star low-costs were rapidly combined, witnessing player after player get desperate and curse, "Are you **** kidding me?", and looking at one winner’s screen after another as he climbed the ranks.

He Xi’s lips were always curling upward!

Exciting!

Too exciting!

How could there be such an exhilarating chess game in this world?

Once I surge to Silver in Cloud Top overnight and pummel Ke Jie, who can tell me apart from the eight-time champion?

After another round of four-star wrecking havoc across the board, He Xi had just poured himself a Coke to celebrate.

Tired from ranking up! Time for a break!

Suddenly, he heard noises from the bunk above.

Liu Feng wasn’t asleep either; he climbed down from the bed, swaying on the ladder.

The Coke in He Xi’s hand wasn’t steady, spilling all over his crotch.

"Ah, damn it, I..." He Xi didn’t finish his sentence.

Liu Feng, by the light of the screen, glanced at He Xi’s moist crotch area.

And a meaningful smile crossed his face.

"Dude, not bad, getting excited over "Cloud Top" too?"

"I ****... I did not!"

"Let me see, which character is your XP?" Liu Feng leaned closer to the screen, curious.

If "Cloud Top" really had hot babes, he wouldn’t mind playing a bit of Cloud Top himself.

After all, his bottom bunk roommate has been playing Cloud Top all night.

This roommate of his was a game enthusiast, who had a wide range of gaming experiences, and if a game could keep him hooked all night...

It must not be bad.

Means the game must have some merit to it.

As he leaned in for a closer look.

The game screen displayed the prominent message, "Congratulations on getting first place!"

Next to it, a translucent, chubby Little River Sprite was jumping for joy.

Liu Feng was momentarily baffled.

"Good lord, this is your XP? You can get social with this thing, too?"

"... Go the **** away!"

While some people couldn’t sleep because they were too caught up playing Cloud Top at midnight.

Others couldn’t sleep as they looked at their own backend settlement interface.

Please guess who couldn’t sleep looking at the backend revenue and explain why it is Ke Jin.

"****..."

At midnight, Ke Jin stared at the unsettling system interface with mixed emotions.

Just moments ago, he was secretly enjoying himself by scoring points with the underdeveloped Windmill Garen strategy used by Blue Star players.

Then, out of the blue, he received a WeChat message from Gou Chehua.

It started with the question,

"Mr. Ke, are you asleep?"

After replying with, ’Not asleep, what’s up?’,

Gou Chehua immediately called, his voice filled with excitement as he said to Ke Jin, "Mr. Ke, our game is bursting with sales!"

Ke Jin was baffled upon hearing this.

On the first day online, he hadn’t paid much attention to the backend revenue.

Anyway, with a system limitation of one month and more lenient conditions given by the system for the online game, only if the revenue surpassed 300 million within a month would it be considered a task failure.

Regular tasks were to hit one billion in topic heat in a month.

Everything seemed easy-going, so Ke Jin hadn’t paid much attention.

When he asked Gou Chehua how much money they had made,

He was given a number that suddenly scared him.

million!

Before this,

Except for Arknights, which made 47 million on its first day of release,

No other top player’s game had ever sold so much in one day.

Even for games like Eternity and Pubg, which were a slow build-up,

The big sales came after the launch, not on the first day.

You’re going full force right out of the gate?

If you dare sell 30 million on the first day, are you going to bring in a billion for me in a month?

Earning so much money disgusts me indeed!

And what made Ke Jin feel even worse was,

Gou Chehua, oblivious to the implications, shared the great news: "And on the hotness list, we went straight to number one! Everything is stable and improving! Mr. Ke, your revenue from "Cloud Top" has far exceeded expectations! Such a wonderful start has never happened before!"

Stable and improving?

That was a sign of impending doom!

How can I continue if the players don’t crush the server with their spending?

After hanging up, Ke Jin scratched his head, utterly puzzled.

It just didn’t make sense.

The in-game store server should crash when there are 1000 users.

Why are so many players crazily rushing in to spend their money?

He checked the detailed data.

And found out.

****...

From the moment "Cloud Top" launched until this early morning, the store server had crashed only once.
