Chapter 244: Chapter 163 The First Deal (Second Update)_1
This was a covert festivity.
The Mukuais received the task of promoting “Space Navigator” to players after they logged into the game.
All they needed to know was that a new game had debuted; whether to buy it was up to them.
If a player showed interest, then a simple introduction to the gameplay was sufficient, letting them know it was a game primarily about making money.
There was no lavish advertising, yet this game still silently sold five hundred thousand copies.
In just one night.
This figure gave Wang Xiaoying a basic understanding of Passport World’s sales capability, which she could factor into future operational plans.
Beyond that, Passport World would become her next major project. Promoting a single Passport World was essentially like promoting all the studio’s games at once, resulting in extremely high cost-effectiveness.
Liuzi began resting during the day.
As a manga artist, he studied abroad in Sakura Country at the age of eighteen and learned painting there.
At twenty, he made his debut, winning an award for his short story “With Your Sewer,” which was judged to be a horror manga combining mystery and morbidity. The judges advised him to develop his horror talent.
However, when it came time for serialization, he instead produced a romantic manga like “The Beautiful Girl Next to Me Keeps Sticking to Me,” with delicate strokes and dialogue that hit the mark and stirred hearts. The naive and beautiful romance between teenagers was irresistible, even allowing him to storm into the top three rankings of a passionate youth magazine like “JUMP.”
Subsequently, a dialogue box appeared before his eyes with the words: “Fang Cheng Studio’s new game ‘Space Navigator’ is now available!”
After reading the introduction carefully, Liuzi found himself very interested in the content of this game.
He had really enjoyed “Squirrel Spaceship” previously; after all, the ethereal sky is every man’s dream. Every time he looked up at the starry sky, it inspired a desire to fly into it and soar freely.
“Squirrel Spaceship” was already excellent, but it was, after all, a flight shooting game, and he wanted something more like interstellar travel, hard science fiction. He aimed to try contacting alien civilizations and learn about their cultures and stories.
After learning about the content of this game, Liuzi felt that since he had nothing better to do, he might as well buy the game and log in.
He logged into the game with a VR all-in-one machine and, after passing through the Teleportation Array, found the surroundings grow dark.
But quickly, the lights came back on, and he found himself inside his own spaceship.
Just when he wondered if he’d entered the wrong game, a maintenance worker beside him said, “Mr. Liuzi, we meet again. Come here, I need to show you around.”
In “Squirrel Spaceship,” players had limited mobility, restricted to the interior of their spaceships.
But now, Liuzi discovered he could leave his spaceship and step outside.
He was about the same height as the maintenance worker beside him, and he also had a fluffy tail. Looking in the hallway mirror, he realized he had transformed into a chipmunk, clearly indicating that the world view here was consistent with “Squirrel Spaceship.”
That meant Lady Tragedy, whom they had previously beaten up, might also be here, and the world was still composed of seventeen rings.
The universe would expand further, and players would learn more about the Shadow World, developing further within it.
