[Game Development] [System] [Anti-Trope]

Exclusive Interview

Reporter: “President Mei, your latest game has once again gone explosively viral. Could you share with us the original inspiration behind making this game?”

Mei Caiyi, wearing a pained expression: “You might not believe this, but I actually have a system—every time the company loses money, I personally make a huge profit. So, the whole reason I made this game was to lose money. Same with the last one. And the one before that. All of them.”

Reporter: “Hahaha! President Mei, you’re truly hilarious. I understand now—you’re not in this for the money. You’re just sincerely making heartfelt, high-quality games for the players.”

He really wanted to say: “Understand my ass.”

How was he supposed to know all those games would blow up?

Now they call him things like “visionary,” “marketing genius,” “game development prodigy”—as if they weren’t just slandering him!

“Arbitrary Town”—a construction game with no gameplay, just mindless clicking.

“TombForce”—the protagonist is male, and all the enemies have bizarre, ridiculous designs.

“Cry”—deliberately made to provoke flame wars.

“Conscience-Free Game Platform”—created solely to deter people from registering.

“Escape”—designed to scare players so badly they wouldn’t want to buy it.

…He’s even gone online more than once begging for help: “Willing to pay handsomely for a large-scale, logically sound game idea that’s guaranteed to lose a ton of money!”

His boss is under investigation, his girlfriend cheats on him, he's ostracized by villains and forced to suspend his job. Yang Dong faces his darkest hour at the start, but he remains unfazed, having experienced it all before. Returning to 2008, he can handle it all with greater composure. But he never imagined that a single phone call would change the trajectory of his life. To save his boss, he's seconded to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection's investigation team, only to unintentionally unleash a devastating storm. To this, Yang Dong says, "Don't panic, I'll have a cigarette to calm down!" (No stud, no system, single female lead, serious official writing, just for a laugh)

Hu Feng traveled to a parallel world, watched a rubbish martial arts movie, posted a bad review, and was subjected to crazy online violence.

[You piece of shit, do you dare to slander my brother?]

[I advise you to be a good person. After all, it was someone else's hard-earned film. What right do you have to slander them?]

[I think your parents and sister all look quite human, why don't you do human things? ]

Just when he was so angry that he was about to call the police, the system came.

[The host has been detected to be facing a large amount of abuse, slander, and personal attacks. The tireless system of taunting has been activated! ]

[The martial arts film "Swordsman" project has started! ]

[Congratulations to the host for receiving the filming manual for the movie "Swordsman"]

[From now on, all comments, messages, and phone calls that insult, slander, or attack you and your family will be turned into your startup capital, 10,000 per message, and the amount will be settled in three days!]

[From now on, all comments, voice messages, and phone calls that insult, slander, or attack you and your family will be recorded by the system. If the movie reaches number one during its release, we will launch a counterattack! You can choose from 1,000 methods to counterattack, including deducting 100 yuan from the opponent, making them eat a green-headed fly, and making them pull their pants pockets!]

Hu Feng slapped his thigh and said, "Okay!"

He immediately started the live broadcast!

"This movie is shit! Come argue!"

"I'll stay online for seven days and fight you!"

"Whoever is a coward is a dog!"

One year later.

"Director Hu, stop arguing. No one is investing in our movie anymore!"

"It doesn't matter, I can spray it myself!"

As a top figure in the entertainment industry, Xiao Ran casually posted a Weibo post on his 20th birthday, and it instantly shot to the top of the internet's popularity rankings!

Seven of the top ten hot searches are related to him.

The reason why he was able to achieve so much success at such a young age.

There is no other reason.

Simply because he is here on this day.

The house collapsed!

"Super Plus enjoy!"

"Warmly congratulate another male star in the entertainment industry who has lost his house!"

“Teacher Wang Feng’s 29th headline-making failure!”

"Now there are only a few ways to rescue Xiao Ran from the whirlpool of public opinion and win the understanding of netizens across the country. 1. Lead the national football team to the World Cup and win the championship! 2. Liberate Taiwan, 3. Create a 2nm lithography machine, 4. Prove that Li Man guesses!”

...

Xiao Ran, who had just traveled through time, looked at the system that had just arrived and fell into deep thought, "Prove the Riemann Hypothesis... it's not impossible!"

[Campus entertainment single heroine, easy to complain about daily articles]

Pu Tong, a 18th-tier starlet, traveled through time and became a student. He was used to the entertainment industry's depths, and decided to stay away from it and study hard.

What? The original person was selected by a variety show and became an amateur student?

What the hell, a citizen’s daughter is sitting at the same table with him?

Why was I secretly photographed singing "My Deskmate" by myself?

This is not written for my deskmates, don’t get me wrong! I really don't have a crush on her.

…

Later, as a top student, Pu Tong did not choose drama and film schools, but quietly went to Beijing University...

Sorry fans, I really just want to study hard!

(The author is a dead nerd, his world view is more two-dimensional, and he doesn’t like to lightly criticize)

An unknown music producer promises a trip to a parallel world.

Appeared at the graduation ceremony and kindly helped the diva to save the day.

Then he acted as a firefighter and became popular all over the Internet.

The audience shouted for him to make a debut, but he turned to the background.

Just because the popular diva actually repaid kindness with hatred. She not only coveted his talent, but also coveted his body.

Promise: "Boys must protect themselves when they go out."

Queen of Heaven: "Stop making trouble and come into the house with me."

…

A song "Wishful" is sent to the Queen of Heaven to become a god.

The song "Relief of Sorrow" made the down-and-out singer sweep the entire Internet.

The song "Left Hand Finger" almost sent away a popular and powerful singer.

He made his personal debut with "Nocturne", and when he received the award, he felt weak and ran out of words in his acceptance speech.
