C95 A Game of Waste of Money
C95 A Game of Waste of Money
Previously, she believed that the Zhou Cheng Mobile Game was an amazing video game — to possess the ability to cause their players to fall into a trap and preventing them from escaping the cycle of video game addiction.
And now, another game like it has appeared. However, this one was even more amazing than the Zhou Cheng Mobile Game, able to make tycoons sink into its trap of spending money like there's no tomorrow.
She felt that this game was like a mousetrap. All the tycoons jumped in happily, willing to spend money without being aware of the potential consequences.
"To be able to develop such a money-draining game, the creator must be an industry tycoon." Liu Jun gradually became interested in this game.
To be precise, he was interested in the boss behind the game development.
To be able to think of such a lucrative game, he must be a genius.
"Dad, can you find out the developer behind the game?"
"Alright," Liu Jun replied, already intending to find out the boss behind this game.
He also wanted to meet this game mogul.
Just as he took out his cell phone to make a call, Wu Tian reached out and stopped him: "Uncle Liu, there's no need to check."
"Xiao Tian, don't you want to know who developed such a great game?"
"No need to check, I already know."
"You know who developed this game?"
"Correct."
"Who is it?"
"Tianmu Technology."
Liu Jun's eyes widened in disbelief, "Could it be that you got someone from the company to develop this game?"
"Yes, I indeed developed it." Wu Tian nodded sincerely.
Wu Tian intended to tell Uncle Liu about this matter from the beginning but was interrupted by Liu Mengyao. Thus, he could not find the chance to tell him.
"You…"
Liu Jun's eyes gawked wide open as he looked at Wu Tian in disbelief. After a long while, he finally managed to say: "Good boy, you really did it. You actually made such a profitable game."
Previously, when Wu Tian invested in Tianmu Technology, he had been opposed to it and was worried that Wu Tian would end up losing money.
He never thought that in such a short time, Wu Tian would be able to lead Tianmu Technology into developing such an exceptional mobile game.
To be honest, even he could not help but admire Wu Tian, for the kid was too smart.
"I just happened to receive inspiration and ended up developing this Warlord game. Step by step, I improved my marketing plan and found better ways to promote my game, which is why it has this kind of effect." Wu Tian scratched his head awkwardly.
For a video game to arrive at such a successful stage, it required a competent team of developers, step by step in optimizing the game, and, of course, a bit of luck as a cherry on top.
"Kid, this is not just a game anymore. You are clearly draining money from the tycoons." Seeing the total in-game currency increasing rapidly, even Liu Jun could not help but feel somewhat jealous.
This brat really had good wits. To actually come up with such a cunning scheme to easily drain the wealth of a tycoon into his own pocket.
"Uncle Liu, you've gone too far."
"My words do speak of the truth." Liu Jun held Wu Tian's arm tightly and praised, "You're the only one who can play around with those tycoons and rich second generations."
"I'm simply trying to please them."
"I've never admired any young man in my life, but you are worthy of my admiration," Liu Jun patted Wu Tian's arm and said with a gratified smile.
"Uncle Liu is too kind." Wu Tian scratched his head in embarrassment.
Being praised so unrestrainedly by Uncle Liu really made him feel embarrassed.
Liu Mengyao listened for a long time, but could not understand anything. She asked with a puzzled expression, "Dad, what are you guys talking about? Why can't I understand a single word?"
"Mengyao, didn't you want to know who developed the game? I can tell you now." Liu Jun retracted his gaze and looked at his daughter.
"Who developed it?"
"Wu Tian."
"What?" Liu Mengyao opened her eyes in shock and looked at Wu Tian with a confused expression.
She thought her father was joking.
But seeing that her father had a very serious look on his face, he did not seem to be joking at all.
Liu Mengyao stood petrified for a while before regaining her senses. She asked in shock, "Dad, you said that the game, Warlord, was developed by Wu Tian?"
"Absolutely!"
"Oh my god…" Liu Mengyao was so dumbfounded that her eyeballs nearly rolled out of their sockets.
She never dreamed that Warlord was a game developed by Wu Tian.
The game interface looked grand, and the animation was flawless. Furthermore, it had become a very popular game for tycoons.
But most importantly, this game attracted the attention of the tycoons and rich second generations, motivating them to spending an excessive amount of money on the game.
She did not think that such a well thought out game would be developed by a young man like Wu Tian.
After staring at Wu Tian blankly for quite a while, she couldn't help but exclaim, "How did you manage to create such a perfect game?"
"Don't misunderstand me, but this was only made possible because of my capable game development team. All the credit lies with the people from that team," Wu Tian quickly explained.
The worshipful gaze from the father and daughter made him feel uneasy.
"For you to be able to lead your team into developing such an amazing game, you are truly a genius." Liu Mengyao's admiration for Wu Tian remained undiminished.
"Maybe it's just luck."
"Wu Tian, you are truly not simple. No wonder my dad appreciates you so much," Liu Mengyao could not resist speaking out her inner thoughts.
Previously, her father had continuously praised Wu Tian's excellence in front of her. At that time, she had even doubted her father.
Only now did she realize that her father was not mistaken. Wu Tian was indeed very outstanding and was much more capable than she had imagined.
"Xiao Tian."
Liu Jun looked at the time and said to Wu Tian, "I have some urgent matters to attend to, so I won't be able to accompany you."
"Uncle Liu, if you have something to do, then go ahead."
"Alright, I'll leave Mengyao to you." Liu Jun patted Wu Tian's shoulder purposefully and said, "Take good care of Mengyao for me."
"Alright."
"Mengyao, Dad will be leaving first." Liu Jun stood up from the chair, winked at his daughter, and then left in a hurry.
Liu Mengyao seemed to understand her father's intentions, so her face suddenly blushed as she unconsciously lowered her head.
At this time, the host on stage announced the results again: "Congratulations to N9 for taking the lead, surpassing L1, and ascending to the throne."
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd instantly burst into an uproar.
The N9 player was originally at the bottom, but who would have thought that they would directly spend tens of millions to get first place in an instant.
However, no one knew that N9 was actually hired by Wu Tian to specifically provoke the other tycoons.
After they reached the top of the rankings, they would taunt the tycoons in the competition area, clamoring and provoking them.
These actions infuriated the other tycoons. Further prompting them to spend more money to upgrade their characters — vowing to teach N9 a lesson and kicking him off the throne.
With that, they spent millions to upgrade their equipment and level up their characters. At this point, the war to see who would waste the most money had truly begun, pushing the competition to its climax.
At this moment, the rankings on the screen changed extremely quickly. There were people constantly taking the throne and quickly being kicked off the throne.
For a time, the atmosphere at the scene sudddenly became tense to the extreme. With the area turning into a battlefield, the competition had reached the peak of its ferocity.
The audience also watched the match with relish. Having all been attracted by the game, even some of the tycoons who had not known of the game prior started to join in on the fun.
