my english is not good enough hope you guys enjoyed it. /ᐠ｡ꞈ｡ᐟ\

"I am Mo, the best "pro" player on Earth. 

I played games since I was 7 years old. 

Be it online or offline games, RPG, Puzzle, Simulation or any genre of games, I am always the best when I play it. 

For 20 years, I was crowned as the greatest "immortal" gamer. 

Even the World Government built a museum for my achievements on all the games my IGN was a part of. Until that fated day..."

Author's Notes: My practice novel renewed after a long hiatus! Please support and add some reviews. 

P.S. Please go easy on me!

Games are things you play. Harmless entertainment. But when the hunger games- THE COMPUTER GAME comes out and over population becomes a problem with the districts in your country. Will the hunger game the Computer games help? or not?


In my spare time I like to play video games. I play them because they are fun and it's a good boredom buster. The games that I play the most are Halo, Driver and Candy Crush. I play these on my Xbox and tablet.
There are lots of different types of consoles that you can play video games on. These include Xbox, Play Station, DS, Wii, and also computers, iPads, tablets and also phones. There are also many genres of video games. Some of these include strategy, puzzle, arcade, racing and fighting. Some all-time classic video games include Mario, Donkey Kong, Tetris, Pinball, Pac man and Solitaire, just to name a few. These are very famous and have been played over 50 million times as more than half of the world's population play video games.
Video games can be used not only for recreational purposes but also educational purposes. Some schools use computer games to teach things such as maths and spelling in a fun way. Games such as Study Ladder, Reading Eggs and Math letics are played by students at school. Although they may not be actually classified as video games they seem as if they are as students/children have fun trying to beat their own or their friends' high scores while they are learning new things or practising the things that they have learnt in class.
Video games can also make people money. People who work in the video game business have a great job. When I am older I would like to have a job either making or testing video games. This would be a great job for me as it would be what I enjoy the most and I would really like to get paid for doing the thing I love the most and make video games for other people to enjoy.
These are the reasons why video games are my favourite things.
Thanks for reading

Launch day.
It was still an hour away from launch.
In the morning, Zhang Ye held in his hands the documents that Fat Sis had sent to him. He went through it several times in earnest, analyzing the information for domestic sales of puzzle games in recent years. In the data, it not only included the domestically produced casual puzzle games, but also an abundance of foreign puzzle game titles.
Flying Leopard.
Casual domestic puzzle game.
Price: Free.
Sales numbers: 800 downloads on launch day.
Kamikaze.
Japanese turn-based strategy puzzle game.
Price: 9 RMB for mobile version. Not available for PC at the moment.
Sales numbers: 16,000 downloads on launch day.
Fishing Master 2.
Country of origin: America.
Price: 19 RMB for PC version, 6 RMB for mobile version.
Sales numbers: 95,000 downloads on launch day.
And so on.
This was the current distribution of numbers for the casual domestic puzzle games in China. It could clearly be seen from the data of the 27 titles of games the disparity of the domestically made games to the foreign-made ones. The domestically made game, Flying Leopard, had apparently taken a year's time and a cost of 10 million RMB to develop—and was temporarily free to play—only managed a figure of 800 downloads on launch day. Describing it as a miserable result was already a nice way to put it. Then, looking at the foreign-made games, most of the titles had downloads crossing 10,000 on their release days, with the best performer being Fishing Master 2, which built on the success of Fishing Master 1. Its popularity showed with their market share in addition to receiving close to 100,000 downloads on launch day. With this momentum, Fishing Master 2's sales figures would cross 1 million downloads in only a matter of time, and shouldn't be difficult to achieve either.
Of course, the results of Fishing Master 2 still couldn't be compared with those large-scale, famous RPG series, among other popular titles. Nor should they be mentioned in the same breath, since how could you compare a game that was measured in megabytes to one that was measured in gigabytes? And that was the status of puzzle games. The Fishing Master series had an absolute dominance in the puzzle games genre, and was also one of the most popular puzzle games as well!
After reading through the document, Zhang Ye had a heavy heart.
The situation was grim!
The domestic games market did not have much hope!
Now, it just depended on how Plants vs. Zombies would perform. Not only did he want to make a stand for himself, he also wanted to help domestically made games make a stand for themselves…Uh, although it was true that Plants vs. Zombies itself was a foreign-made game to begin with, but then who would know about that in this world?
Hmph!
If this bro says that it is a domestically made game, then it is a domestically made game!
You gonna bite me??
... 
The countdown toward the release began!
Three minutes.
Two minutes.
One minute.
At 8 AM, Plants vs. Zombies was officially launched as the resources were made available for download in this world, done in accordance to this world's market conditions with a new method of distribution!
Zhang Ye clicked to download the game. The internet speed was quite slow and the game that was only several hundred megabytes actually took five minutes to download and even got stuck at 90% downloaded. Sitting at his computer, Zhang Ye did not feel like there was any progress at all. But unknown to him, at this moment, many other people were experiencing the same issue!
At a game download website, an uproar kicked up in the comments section!
"Why can't Plants vs. Zombies be downloaded!? My gosh!"
"Why don't you try a different downloader? I can download the game!"
"Me too, but it's really slow!"
"It's slower than a glacier! What's going on!?"
"Same for me, and I have a fucking 100 Mbps connection! But why does it feel like I am back in the era of dial-up? 5 kilobytes per second? Just how slow can it get!"
"Fuck, there are too many people downloading this!"
"Let's switch to a mirror and try! There should be many other servers providing this game for download!"
"Don't bother, it's all the same. I came over from a different server, but the speed over there is about the same. Hai, let's just wait a while!"
"Hahaha, my download is done! I'll go ahead and play first!"
"Fuck you, previous poster!"
"*flips table*!"
"What dogshit server is this!"
"Who the hell is causing this internet slowdown in my home?"
"It's so slow that I'm crying!"
There were countless comments!
The swearing from tens of thousands of people was a very shocking sight!
... 
At Beijing Television Station.
In the program team office of Do You Remember.
A loud shout of surprise rang out in the office. "I succeeded in downloading it!"
It was Hou Ge. After his exclamation, he quickly proceeded to install the game. It didn't take long for the game to be installed. Within thirty seconds, he was at the game's menu.
In that moment, Dafei, Hou Di, Xiao Lu, and a few others all surrounded him immediately.
Xiao Lu said in frustration, "We're all on the same network! Why is my download taking so long?"
Hou Ge chuckled, "It's down to character, our character!"
Dafei urged, "Hurry up and start the game!"
Hou Di said, "I can't wait any longer. Since this game was produced by Teacher Zhang, it definitely has to be fun! I've even resisted playing the demo!"
Hou Ge clicked his mouse with a swagger. "It's starting, it's starting!"
The game commenced!
Unlike the demo, this full version of Plants vs. Zombies did not bring the player directly into the game mode. Instead, there was a tutorial mode to help players become familiarized with game, and the game character that appeared to guide the player made Xiao Lu, Dafei, and everyone else freeze!
Was this Zhang Ye?
An NPC?
Crazy Zhang Ye?
Looking at that 2D cartoon character that vaguely resembled like Zhang Ye, everyone suddenly didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Why is Teacher Zhang also appearing in the game as a guest character!"
"Seems like this video game company really respects Teacher Zhang a lot."
"No duh. This game was designed by Zhang Ye in the first place. Do you think it would be difficult for him to make an appearance in it?"
"Hehehe, Teacher Zhang's pretty smart about it, even endorsing himself all the way into the game. Can you imagine if this game really blows up? How much would Teacher Zhang's popularity increase by? This is goddamn equivalent to pervasive soft advertising for him. You can't shut him out even if you wanted to!"
"I was still wondering why Teacher Zhang crossed over to making games. So it was because he had ulterior motives instead. Who says that Teacher Zhang is being too much of a jack of all trades? In fact, I think that rather than a jack of all trades, he knows exactly what he is doing. Even though taking the bar exam and making games do not seem like logical moves, all those activities actually affect his popularity and exposure to the media!"
"Stop rambling and just play the game!"
... 
Peking University.
School had reopened, but on this day, the campus was quieter than usual. The people who would usually take a stroll beside the artificial lake were nowhere to be seen.
Some students who were passing by the area were surprised at this.
"Eh, why is it so quiet around here today?"
"Everyone's in their dorms."
"In their dorms? Aren't they going to get breakfast?"
"Don't you know? Today is the launch day of Plants vs. Zombies!"
"Aiyo! It's today?"
"So do you understand now? Teacher Zhang has always been good to us in the past, teaching us his knowledge and leading us to scold the foreign dignitaries. Even during the recent student recruitment, he helped Peking University stop Tsinghua University's antics. Knowing this, who among us do not appreciate him? Who wouldn't be moved? We don't know when Teacher Zhang can come back to teach us. Since he's releasing a new product now, we must support him even if it kills us! The Vice Chairman of the Student Council of Peking University and a few other officers of the council have already started calling on everyone to show their support for Plants vs. Zombies!"
"That's right! I won't acknowledge any teachers in the school except Zhang Ye!"
"We must give our support! No two ways about it!"
"Fuck, I better get back to my room then! I have to download the game and purchase a serial code as well!"
... 
At one of the female dormitories.
Crosstalk actor Yao Jiancai's daughter, Yao Mi, had already started playing Plants vs. Zombies with a few of her friends. All that could be heard coming from the dorm room were exclamations, laughter, and excited voices. 
"Aiya, the zombie is approaching, it's approaching!"
"Are you stupid! Plant the Peashooter!"
"Haha, you got the zombie! Ah, another wave is coming!"
"Ah, I don't have enough 'sun' anymore! I have no resources!"
"Why are you guys so terrible? I've already passed the third level!"
Yao Mi was the first to pass the first three levels of the game. After she had completed the third level, a popup appeared and prompted her to enter a serial code. She needed to buy a serial code before she could continue playing. Without even hesitating, Yao Mi immediately made the payment online. It was only a few yuan, an amount that not too many people would care about. Afterwards, she continued clicking her mouse excitedly as she began the fourth level. The more she played, the more addicted and excited she got!
"This is so fun!"
"I can't stop at all!"
"Mimi, tell us why our Teacher Zhang Ye is so awesome!"
... 
A video game company in Beijing.
The Gaming Research Department employees had arrived early for work today. No one was idle as all of them were here to do the same thing: download Plants vs. Zombies! Other people might play games for entertainment and leisure, but for them, it was for work, in order to learn from the experience of others.
In the office, the game's soundtrack reverberated.
"Hai, the full version of the game is quite different from the demo!"
"You've only just realized? There are so many game modes, but they're still grayed out at the moment!"
"The levels are also different. They're much richer than in the demo. I was just mentioning that if the levels are just going to continue on so monotonously, the repetitive levels will surely cause gameplay fatigue. But after I said that, the next level immediately went into night mode. There's a difference in the strategy of fighting and the type of plants that can be planted in night mode as compared to day mode? How interesting!"
"The person who designed this game must definitely be an expert! If you go on further in the game, there's even a pool mode. Reading from the introduction, there's also a roof mode. There are different strategies for fighting in each mode, so not only does that increase the playability of the game, it also does not cause gameplay fatigue to the player! Is…is this really a creation of Zhang Ye's? Without seven or eight years of experience in game design, how can he possibly have grasped the mind of a player so well? The demo was already amazing, but this full version is even better. After completing a level, I want to go on to the next one immediately. I think that after this level, it's be enough. But then somehow, I still go ahead and click to start the next level!"
"If this game doesn't go viral, I could never justify that!"
"Zhang Ye is indeed just like his reputation!"
"Who knows, Plants vs. Zombies could really lead the charge for our domestically developed video games!"
"This is such a godly game! It's really too goddamn godly! There's actually a day when our domestically made games could come up with such a godly work!? How encouraging!"
The industry insiders were exploding with excitement!
The Internet also exploded with comments from the netizens!
"This is so fun!"
"So the demo really was just the tip of the iceberg!"
"Is this really a game made by a domestic video game company? Did Zhang Ye really come up with the entire design of this game? This is too incredible! I can't believe this!"
"A boost for our domestically made games!"
"I've already recommended it to friends and relatives!"
"This game truly is constantly full of surprises! The more I play it, the more fun I have!"
There were also celebrities who posted on Weibo.
A C-list singer named Wang Qiqi posted a link to Plants vs. Zombies with the accompanying words: "It's so good I'm crying!"
A movie star named Chen Qi posted: "Recommending a good game my friend recommended to me. It's called Plants vs. Zombies. Please support domestically made games!"
Zhang Ye did not know those two people, neither had he come across them before. The reason for their recommendation posts was clearly because this game had truly touched them.
Naturally, Zhang Ye's friends did not idle around either.
Chen Guang and Fan Wenli highly recommended it!
Yao Jiancai highly recommended it!
Dong Shanshan highly recommended it!
At the same time, the media was also making its moves!
A few video game websites had already published their analyses and review of the full version of Plants vs. Zombies. The reviews were very good, just like how the industry insiders rated it! Websites, newspapers, and other entertainment media's reporters did not idle around either. A puzzle game that clearly had nothing to do with the entertainment circle had actually been pushed to the front page or into the headlines as the topic generated massive interest! It was like a wildfire!
"An amazing, classic domestically created puzzle game! "
"Can Zhang Ye continue writing his cross-industry legend?"
"Some industry insiders frank opinions: Not optimistic of Plants vs. Zombies' sale figures!"
"Good but unable to attract an audience?"
"A legend of a domestically made puzzle video game might have begun! "
"Possibility of poor sales? Don't be too pessimistic, don't speak too soon, just remember! The creator of this game is—Zhang, Zhang Ye! "
"The turnaround of domestically made video games? "


Zhang Ye was originally a mundane college graduate with aspiring dreams to become a star, but unfortunately has below average looks and height. However one day, he woke up and suddenly found himself in a parallel world! 
It’s like the same world, but wait a minute…many brands, celebrities and even famous works from his world changed and are gone in this new world! Armed with the profound literary knowledge of his previous world and a heaven-defying Game Ring that gives him magical items, stats and skills, Zhang Ye embarks on a journey to pursue his life-long dream of becoming famous!
Follow Zhang Ye as he takes the new world by storm, one plagiarized piece at a time, to hilarious reactions!

He looked around, nothing could be seen in this darkness. He extended his hand outward and used his magic staff to try to feel obstacles, like a blind man feeling his way. In a way, he really was blind here. He moved around several steps in random directions, his staff didn't bump into anything. It felt like this space was really spacious. He was considering maybe he should just go back the way he came from, how could he find any clue in such a dark place? Then he realized he didn't know which way the door was. Once the door was shut, it blended into the darkness. He didn't memorize its direction so he was completely lost now. He thought to himself that he should have prepared something like a flashlight or at least a makeshift torch before he came.
He was not afraid of the dark, but being lost in the dark without knowing what's inside the room and which way to go could be very unsettling. When he thought about casting either Mana Bullet or Energy Bolts, as they both emit a brief light that might allow him a glimpse to the room, a hum sounded. He tensed up. It was like the sound of a machine starting up. He casted Magic Shield instead and took out his sword.
Bright light flashed abruptly around him, completely illuminated the room. Jack shut his eyes as they could not cope with such drastic change. He opened them slightly and let them gradually adjusted to the bright light. When he could finally see things, he realized he was in a large room with oval shape. The curved wall was covered with metallic sheet that reflected light. The source of the bright light itself was from the floor. The entire floor was a series of glazed panes that radiated light from underneath. The ceiling was over ten meters height with a dark background and small dots of light crowded around it. It created the feeling of outdoor setting under a starry night sky. Yet the most astonishing sight was at the center of the room. A series of random blocks were floating over a round pedestal. He could feel a strange aura from those floating blocks.
He looked back and saw the door which he had come from. He inspected the surrounding walls and noticed that it was the only door. That meant there was no more stage after this. Whatever the Lizardman was guarding, it was in this place. But he could not see anything resembling a clue in this place. So he was mistaken, there was no trace in this place as to what had caused the changes to the world. He told himself not to be somber, if following game world rules, there should at least be a treasure here, otherwise there was no need for a guard. The only thing out of place were the floating blocks, so he approached the pedestal.
The whole setup was rather big once he was near. The pedestal height was half way to his chest. Its circumference couldn't be covered even if he used two hands to hug it. Each of the floating blocks above was larger than a basketball, and they were irregular boxy shapes. None of the blocks were identical. There was a panel on one side of the pedestal. There was no button to press so he assumed the panel was touchscreen. He touched it with his finger. No response. Upon closer inspection, he saw a thin slit beside the panel. The width was the size of a card. He looked at the card that was still being held in his hand. Maybe this card could also be used here? He slid the card inside. When it was halfway, a force suddenly sucked the card in. It slipped from his fingers and went all the way inside the panel.
"Crap! I can't take it out anymore," he lamented.
Some undeciphered voice suddenly sounded out. It was like the sound of a broken computer. The panel lit up, then a holographic image appeared in front of the panel. It was an image of multiple blocks. He looked at the floating blocks above and then looked at the image. They were the same. Fascinated, he moved his finger to touch the hologram. The block image which he touched was moved following the motion of his finger. He heard a sound and looked up and saw one of the floating blocks moved.
So the hologram from the panel was a control panel to move the floating blocks. But what's the point? He studied the holographic blocks. It was much easier compared to the floating blocks above, they were too big and so it was difficult to see the whole picture. After observing for a while, he thought he might have grasped the secret. The blocks were some sort of puzzle. They looked disconnected to each other but some pieces he noticed had edges that might fit with each other if brought together.
Excited, he started to work on the blocks. He moved the blocks around and tried different combinations. It was not easy, as the blocks were not able to move freely, there were some invisible patterns that he needed to follow in order for them to move, which made the effort harder. But he enjoyed the process. One other hobby he had other than playing VR games was playing puzzle games. Whether it was computer game puzzles or traditional block or jigsaw puzzles, he played them frequently during his free time.
There were more than a hundred blocks in the holographic constellation in front of him, solving it would take a long time. Without realizing it, time flew by. It took him around two hours to complete half of the blocks. There was now a colossal half cube floating above the pedestal, the remaining blocks scattered around it. It took him another two hours to complete another one quarter. Strange, he assumed it would be easier when the blocks became fewer, instead he used more time to complete fewer blocks as it became more completed. He realized it was due to invisible link that allowed the block's movements. At the start, there was more freedom to move the blocks around. As more were completed, the links decreased. He could only move them in a limited way now, which increased the difficulty.
After being aware of this rule, he decided not to rashly connect the blocks anymore. If the final block was left with a link that cannot fix with the rest of the cube, he might end up failing the puzzle. He was not sure if he could have a redo if he failed.
It was around twenty blocks left now. He studied them all and visualize their possible movement patterns. Like a chess player figuring out several moves ahead. Good thing he brought a pen and paper in his inventory. It didn't provide any effect but he was used to carrying them around. He used them to write notes and draw maps on important landmarks when he travelled. He jotted down the possible movements of the blocks onto the paper, and imagined several simulations. He tried several configurations on paper to make sure he could complete the entire blocks. He met several dead ends when arriving at the last few pieces and had to redo them again on new paper.
He was glad that he realized this early, or else he would have failed the puzzle. But as each configuration failed, he was worried that maybe he had made a mistake prior, so the remaining blocks might no longer be possible to be completed. He drove away the pessimistic thought and continued to work on the puzzle. On his forty-sixth tries, he finally reached the last piece and got the completed configurations.
"Yes!" He screamed out. A sense of achievement was always there whenever he completed a puzzle, that's why he enjoyed them so much.
He followed the configurations recorded in the last paper. He carefully moved the blocks. If he made the wrong move, then it would waste all his simulation efforts just now. When the last piece was inserted into the cube, the hologram vanished. He saw the floating cube started to hum and glowed. It began to revolve, slowly at first but then the rotation was so fast that he could no longer saw the cube shape, it looked more like a round object now. Several electrical discharges shot out from the cube.
Jack moved away, afraid that the electrical discharges might cause him damage.
Suddenly there was a bright flash followed by a loud explosion.

He was about to join the beta test on the newest VR games, Second World.

But an anomaly threw him into a world with familiar rules, a rule he usually only experienced in a game.

Now he must use his past gaming experience in this new world.

It was no longer a game, it was survival! A strive to reach the highest level possible.

Equipped with dual-class of melee and magic user, Jack was set on the path to become the strongest character in this brave new world.

Lu Wu and Bei Li exchanged smiles after they left the artifact.
Needless to say, they made a huge return this time.
They had found a very talented young successor.
The 258-level puzzle was set up by Bei Li a few months ago.
The purpose was to search for a person with excellent IQ and talent for their unified army strategy in Battle Online.
Even though the current number of players using Battle Online was massive, there was a huge flaw. They needed a talented military leader.
Although Liu Chai, Wu Guoyi, and the others had the ability to command, they were still lacking in skills for a large-scale war.
Now that Lu Wu was preparing for Beiqi to start the expansion conquest, he had become more desperate for such a talent.
Although he was able to discover many strong players from the forum, they were still far from what he sought.
Lu Wu had been rather distressed. However, to his pleasant surprise, Bei Li informed him that someone managed to solve the puzzle that she posted three months ago and entered the final stage.
That last stage of the tough puzzle required Bei Li herself to go into action. Thus, she changed her appearance using artifacts and transformed into a white-haired old man to face Yin Xiaoqi, who came to solve the puzzle.
After all, her existence could not be revealed.
Truthfully, Yin Xiaoqi failed as she was unable to explain the assumptions made by Bei Li.
However, that was not what Bei Li was looking for. Instead, she wanted to know Yin Xiaoqi's flow of thoughts when bombarded with questions like these.
Even though Yin Xiaoqi could not prove her points in the end, Bei Li lauded her adamant persistence on her viewpoint.
Therefore, Bei Li chose to be lenient on Yin Xiaoqi and let her pass the test when she brought out the line from Descartes' idealism.
After all, Yin Xiaoqi had already proven her talent as well as fulfilled both Bei Li and Lu Wu's expectations.
The 258 puzzles ranged from astronomy and geography to various unified army strategies, which then extended to different types of knowledge and research.
Although Yin Xiaoqi did rely on the convenience of the modern Internet in this cyber era and had sought plenty of answers from it, she had still proven her talent.
She may not have any experience in commanding, but Lu Wu was only seeking her intellect. Her skills in commanding could be nurtured from the game later.
Hence, Lu Wu jotted her name down in his small list of gifted players.
The next step would be getting her into Battle Online.
... 
The virtual interface in front of her emerged slowly...
Yin Xiaoqi took down her virtual reality headset without any hesitation, as her expression was marred with fear.
What happened was too real. It even made her think that she was really just a lump of brains.
Reality? Illusion?
Yin Xiaoqi touched her cheeks and fell into a state of suspicion, questioning everything that had been in her life.
Other than how such a real virtual scene was created with just a link, how did he control my virtual device and confuse my brain?
If it was a hacking technique, Yin Xiaoqi would have definitely sniffed it out because she was one of the world's top hackers. However, that was impossible.
Perhaps it is a technique beyond the current technological development?
Supernatural powers?
Alien technology?
Yin Xiaoqi's mind was in complete disarray. 
However, the person who called himself Bei Li left too few clues, so she could not uncover any traces.
Suddenly, she remembered the last sentence that Bei Li uttered before she left that unusual world.
"I too cannot confirm whether you are real or not because it is just my personal guess!"
"Ah, stop thinking! I'm going crazy!" Yin Xiaoqi threw the virtual reality headset away angrily and turned around to look at the screen.
Let me see what exactly is the final reward!
An envelope engulfed in purple flames was displayed on the screen.
Yin Xiaoqi moved the cursor to the envelope with a conflicted expression.
She had to admit that she was traumatized by what she just experienced. She feared that the treasure within this letter would be something that would make her question her life again.
To open or not to open?
After struggling for some time, Yin Xiaoqi clenched her teeth and clicked on the envelope.
The flames looked like it was about to spew out from the screen at any moment. The envelope opened slowly as the flames continued crackling.
[Congratulations on passing all the stages successfully! The reward is in the link below…
Enter the world to retrieve your reward!
P.S.: There is no need to doubt nor verify anything, like what you experienced in the final stage. What is reality? What is virtual? It is what you think it is!]
Yin Xiaoqi was stunned as she read the content of the envelope.
Why does it sound exactly like spam?
Yin Xiaoqi hesitated and clicked on the link anyway to check it out.
Before that, she took off her virtual suit and kicked the virtual reality headset away to prevent herself from falling into a trap again.
After all, the experience she just had made her lose all her trust. She was afraid that this link would also be a trap.
However, Yin Xiaoqi became even more dumbfounded after clicking the link.
Smash!
She slammed her keyboard with force as her face was flushed with anger.
She felt like she was fooled again.
After wasting a few months of effort, the treasure turned out to just be this.
To her dismay, the screen displayed the download link for Battle Online.
There was also a line of text below the game.
[This game has been developed for ten years to reach the simulation of almost 100 percent reality. Also, we hereby declare that there is no top-up path for the game.]
If possible, Yin Xiaoqi would like to meet that awful old man who called himself Bei Li again to give him a set of tormenting attacks - choking him, stabbing his eyes, and scissors kicks!
I have been working so hard for an advertisement promoting a game?
Millions of consolation fees would be fine! This reward is just too perfunctory and out of line!
Yin Xiaoqi was so mad that her teeth hurt, but she had nowhere to vent. Her weak, little heart felt greatly provoked.
"Ding! The download is complete!"
Then, her computer's notification system rang. Yin Xiaoqi raised her head and noticed that her computer had downloaded the game automatically.
Is this a virus? That was Yin Xiaoqi's first thought.
She quickly proceeded to clean up her computer files to find the hidden virus.
However, no matter how thorough she searched, she couldn't locate any computer virus.
In the end, Yin Xiaoqi had no other choice than to format her entire computer.
However, Yin Xiaoqi was again stunned to see the game icon sitting on her computer desktop after restarting.
Is this caused by another unusual technique?
After a long silence, Yin Xiaoqi laid her eyes on the Battle Online icon on her computer desktop.
She never liked video games and had never really cared about the gaming industry.
However, she had to admit that the game had suddenly piqued her curiosity now.
"Do you see me, Yin Xiaoqi, as a coward?"
Baring her canine tooth slightly, Yin Xiaoqi hastily stood up. She picked up her virtual suit and virtual reality headset from the floor.
After putting them on, Yin Xiaoqi clicked into the interface, clicked on Battle Online, and started the game.
A sense of weightlessness transmitted over her. A character selection interface appeared in front of Yin Xiaoqi as the display became clear. However, the scene changed again before she could see anything clearly.
She then realized that she was in an unfamiliar world.
Blood-colored rain was drizzling as a gust of cool breeze brushed against her. Meanwhile, there were some pedestrians strolling on the street…
Everything felt so real. It was similar to what she just experienced.
Am I thrown into a new paradox world again?
Damn it! Bei Li, you awful old man!


Lu Wu, an aimless video game developer, had been feeling perturbed ever since he found out he was the direct descendant of a king from the underworld. Other than the title, His Excellency, his ancestor hadn't passed down anything else to him. On top of that, all of his ancestor’s subordinates had rebelled against him and completely usurped his inherited territory.
Under the circumstances, Lu Wu built a battle game server with the help of his new mysterious friend and transported gamers from the real world straight to the underworld using virtual reality. They then created the main quest, the character classes, the Instance Dungeon, the storyline, and the non-player characters for the game.
Relying solely on these video gamers’ strengths, Lu Wu began his expedition to reclaim his rightful inheritance. What could possibly go wrong?

Just for fun so I won't get bored

English isn't my first language so expect bad grammar

Tih spent the next couple of days indirectly working for Maddox and Phillip by helping Instructor Henri with his game. 

While Tih was busy with that, Kai and the rest took four days to map out the colosseum. The location of each game, it's rounds and difficulty, type, and rewards were all noted down. 

The reason it took so long was mainly due to the extent of the information they wanted. They managed to write down all three rounds of each game. To do so, they had to wait for someone to reach the third round for each game. 

They then take another day to use the complete comprehensive map to design a game plan, but first they had to decide on a goal. 

After a discussion, they ended with aiming for largest amount of points, earning them the first place prize and few other prizes along the way. Winning first place will give them the notoriety they need for future business collaborations. They're already well-known among their own generation after winning the newcomers tournament, but to island veterans, they're just newbies still wet behind the ear. 

Now that they have the capital they needed, they need to status to effectively use that money, but also to protect themselves. If they're reputable figures on the island, people will have to think twice before trying to mess with him. Though, it's a given that the larger players will want to test the waters. They'll need to be fully prepared for that. They still haven't decided whether to play weak or overpower the test.  

It's been five days since the carnival first opened. They only have two days to execute the plan. They're not sure exactly how long the course they planned out will take. 

After all, calculating the time for the waiting lines of each game depends on how many people are in line at that specific moment, which makes it hard to come up with a clear estimate. 

Kai's rough estimates put them at two days, but who knows how large the crowd is going to be on the last two days. 

They actually finished preparations the day before, and were waiting for Tih, this important chess piece for the physical games, to come back. Henri's ankle only healed the day before and Tih was finally set free. 

They set out the morning of the second to last day. The plan is to go through the games as quickly as possible. What's more frustrating about their time crunch is the need to move as a group because points aren't transferable. They need to collectively use a single ID card when playing all the games and can't spread out to cover different areas. 

The plan they made uses the shortest route possible, hits all of the easiest games considering their strengths, and will earn them enough points to top the leaderboard. The current highest score is just under [6,000 points] and is still increasing. That's equivalent to beating the first round of one-thousand, two-hundred game or beating the second round of four-hundred games.

If they really want to beat it in the fastest time possible, they would need to beat the third round of two-hundred games, which would rake in two-hundred prizes, but this is a bad idea for one main reason. Animosity. Winning that many things without the power to hold onto them is asking for trouble. They'd be targeted constantly, by many. 

So, although it will take more time, they plan on depending on the second rounds and very few third round games. The ones that have prizes that they deemed useful. 

The start with a game close to the entrance of the colosseum and make their way through the carnival, winning round after round before moving on to the next game at top speed. Each game take them a couple minutes at most. The main annoyance is the time it takes to wait in line. 

Sherlock solves the puzzle type problems, Kai solves the information type games, Kai solves all the physical related games, and Lucien takes care of the few tech related puzzles. 

One game asked them to untie different types of knots, with each knot becoming increasingly more complicated each round. Each person receives a random knot out of over one hundred knots, making it impossible To cheat or copy the person before them. If a knot reverts into its final form, a circle, it's solved and that will no longer be used in future games. Sherlock was the one that solves this. 

Another game used an extreme version of the cup and ball game. In the original version, a ball would be placed under a cup and you would have to follow that cup with your eyes as three cups are moved around. 

In this new version, instead of cups, the ball is placed in one of the many spherical containers. In the first round, ten containers are spun around at high speed inside a clear, wash basin-shaped tub. The second round added twenty more containers and the third round used fifty in total. Tih relies on his hawk-like eyesight to beat all three rounds. 

Eventually, Lucien got a problem of his own. The game was simply to [Does P=NP]. This simple-looking question has never been answered by anyone. 

One of the pits Maddox and Phillip used when designing each game was putting in unsolved problems or questions. For example, the unknotting game used knots that even computers haven't been able to untangle yet. That game actually involves the equation P=NP. 

Effectively, it asks whether NP problems, those with solutions that are hard to compute but easy to verify, are equivalent to P problems, those that can be solved quickly by a computer program. No one has been able to prove or un-prove this problem, that is, until just now. Lucien spent less than a minute to write out an answer. 

Those watching would think Lucien as a genius, a computer god. Only Lucien knows he's already spend a lot of time working on the problem previously, which is how he already had the answer in his head. That's not to say it's any less incredible. Most people could spend half their life trying to answer this question without a breakthrough. 

The computer scientist that was hired to work behind the booth and check the answers stared at Lucien's answer. Even if they can't answer it themselves, they have the knowledge to be able to tell if something is right or wrong. Lucien's answer...is correct. 

The man was so shocked and elated he wanted to call over all his other co-workers to talk with Lucien, but the group didn't have time to waste and immediately escaped to dominate their next game.

Most of the puzzles Kai played wanted lesser-known answers than no one would know. It would ask history questions that no one has ever heard of and wouldn't be able to read in history books because of how irrelevant it was. There were also well-known games like crossword puzzles that were so hard that no one over the past five day could solve them, at least until Kai cane along.

I’m sorry, but I can’t deal with this site anymore. I’m moving to a better place. Wattpad. Out of pure spite. I’ll be transferring and deleting chapters as I go.

"AH!"
Qiao Liang was taken aback. His eyes involuntarily looked at the black clothes that suddenly appeared but at the same time, the entire mirror broke with a loud bam—!
Qiao Liang was really scared this time. He even leaned back involuntarily and almost toppled onto the bed behind him with the chair.
The mirror inside was already broken when he looked at the screen again, revealing the darkness behind the mirror.
A line of numbers in bright blood-red appeared in the right corner. 10:00.
This line of words quickly became 9:59, which seemed to indicate that the game could only be played again in another 10 minutes.
Qiao Liang was slightly shocked, but he calmed down in no time.
"It seemed like this step is purely to test the psychological quality of a person. You must start at the center of the mirror without drifting away. Otherwise, you'll fail immediately…
"Alright, I'll train hard now and try to succeed in one shot 10 minutes later!"
Qiao Liang was full of motivation at that instant. He realized that all puzzles set by Boss Pei should be successfully solved as long as he passed this test!
… 
One hour later…
Qiao Liang stared at himself in the mirror, and a bloody ghost floating in the air had stretched out its bloody hand and was about to touch his neck…
Qiao Liang felt his heart thumping very loudly, but he still gritted his teeth and stared at his eyes in the mirror, using his will to force his eyes to remain motionless. 
That terrifying ghost, which was always wandering around the mirror, was constantly using all sorts of ways to attract Qiao Liang's attention.
Finally, it seemed to have completely lost his patience, came to the center of the screen, opened its huge mouth, and let out a shriek towards Qiao Liang!
Qiao Liang was pretty smart, he did not turn on the sound of the speaker so he could not hear the sound. However, the scene that appeared in front of him was enough to make his heart race like crazy!
However, a whirlpool suddenly appeared in the mirror, sucking the ghost in!
This ghost seemed to be constantly struggling. However, there was no avail as it quickly disappeared in the mirror.
A line of bloody words appeared in the mirror. "Congratulations, the first guest of Thriller Hostel!"
He clicked randomly with his mouse and exited this program. The invalid buy button lit up on the 'Be Quiet' page which meant that Qiao Liang could finally spend money buying the game!
Qiao Liang was so moved that he was nearly in tears.
That was tough! How could it be so tough to buy a game in this era?!
However, that was all worth it since he was the first player of Be Quiet!
"I have to share this news immediately with others!"
Qiao Liang opened his fan group and shared the solution to the last puzzle excitedly with his fans.
… 
At the same time, Pei Qian spat out two words slowly after sitting in the office for some time.
"The f*ck…" 
A chill ran down Pei Qian's back seeing the eye-catching number '1' on the backend of the Be Quiet purchase counter. It was still solved in the end. A puzzle he thought could last for one month only lasted until the 11th! Not even half a month! 
"Sigh, my previous estimate was still too optimistic. It is really impossible to trap players for a month with a puzzle of this difficulty. However, that did not mean there was no use at all. It's still alright."
Pei Qian knew very well that this puzzle had been completely solved since the first buyer showed up. As long as this person shared his experience, more people would be able to receive the invitation and purchase.
However, even so, there were still barriers to purchase!
Pei Qian set the price of The Lonely Desert Road and Game Designer as free and then silently followed the changes in sales. His mode of operating was the most optimal under the strict restrictions of the system.
In layman's terms, the difficulty in solving puzzles and the restrictions of everyone buying the game was different.
Finding clues, solving puzzles, etc., involved the players. Once someone solved the puzzle, everyone could continue to study the next step. The difficulty would naturally be set higher.
The game itself would have a purchase threshold even after knowing and understanding how to solve the puzzle.
The players must drive a car in The Lonely Desert Road for a while, personally reach the 'Game Designer' ending in Game Designer, then go to the TPDb website to search for 'Thriller Hostel', enter one's own account password, enter the dynamic code into the bloody handprint of the game, complete the eye-tracking mirror challenge before one could purchase the game. 
That was the highest threshold allowed by the system and could not be higher.
Of course, Pei Qian had nothing to be dissatisfied with. This threshold could help him to screen out numerous players.
There was also Pei Qian's attempt to make The Lonely Desert Road and Game Designer free. It seemed to be creating convenience for the players, but in fact, it was to make less money.
Pei Qian found that the system allowed the games to be completely free, but the requirements were more demanding.
It had to be a standalone game.
It must have been officially on sale for more than 10 months.
The revenue from last month must have fallen to one-fifth of the revenue when the game first went on sale.
The system would only allow the game to be free based on these three conditions. The Lonely Desert Road and Game Designer happened to meet this condition so Pei Qian was able to make them free.
He did not even need to consider web games like the Ocean Stronghold.
Repent and be Saved had been released for 10 months, but it was very difficult for its monthly revenue to drop to one-fifth of its starting revenue. This game was more durable, and there seemed to be an endless stream of newcomer players interested in masochism.
In short, the puzzle might be solved, but the purchase threshold was still there. It could help Pei Qian make a lot less money, at least in this settlement cycle.
Pei Qian turned off the platform and thought some time about the sales volume growth and what countermeasures to be taken.
The most important thing right now was…
He would first take a look at the pre-sales situation of the OTTO E1 cell phone before sending money to Lu Mingliang and Chang You!
Two days had passed from the opening of reservations on Thursday. The reservation for OTTO E1 cell phones increased to 4,728. It might still be increasing, but it has been extremely slow.
Pei Qian was very happy that the situation was not that much different from what he had previously estimated to be. The number would be capped at 5,000 by the time they had reached Sunday. It was absolutely impossible to go any higher.
Pei Qian decided to give 5 million yuan to Lu Mingliang to open up more Upwind Courier stations in Lincheng and the remaining 20 million yuan to Chang You to let him stock another 5,000 units from the original 4,000 units.
If the 5,000 cell phones could be sold, the remaining money would be used to stock up. There would then be a backlog of about 13,000 cell phones in the warehouse.
This money would then be staying happily in the warehouse until the next settlement cycle. Perfect!
… 
Pei Qian leaned on the chair and let Assistant Xin arrange everything. He could finally rest a little. He turned on the computer and casually looked at the comments of the netizens towards Be Quiet and the OTTO E1 phone.
The solution to the puzzle had been completely revealed. Posts on how to purchase the game had been spread everywhere. However, there was a clear polarization between players' comments. There were even quarrels online.
"Crazy, you can't even buy the game even if you solve the puzzles. Why did you have to make such a complicated pre-step? Are they crazy?"
"That is, that you even have to bear the brunt of the producers' emotions even though you are paying for the game! Tengda Games is really awesome, ah? They don't even give any face!"
"I still don't quite understand what the purpose of this ARG[1] is. I purely wanted to experience the game, no in solving the puzzle!"
"That's right, I definitely won't buy it. I'll just sit here and wait for this game to fail!"
"…who do you think you are? Do you think Tengda cares about this? They started this ARG and set the purchase threshold to screen out no-brainers like you."
"You can go and play a no-brainer shooting game like Ocean Stronghold. It's not like Tengda Games doesn't have any other games that do not suit you."
"This ARG is very interesting. I might not be able to solve it, but I'm so excited about watching the big boss solve them online every day!"
"This ARG, as well as the last step with the eye-tracking game, really amazed me. I feel that it's really worth it! This is equivalent to a large-scale, multiplayer free brain-burning game. It's equivalent to buy-one-get-free for the Be Quiet game. What's not enough?
"Moreover, Tengda made The Lonely Desert Road and Game Designer free, they have a conscience!"
People on both sides argued hard.
Pei Qian was not interested in the content of their argument. He only cared about how many people were dissatisfied with the game Be Quiet, which could reduce the game's revenue this month.
He then saw what the netizens said about the OTTO E1 phone. They were basically in a polarized state as well. However, the people who supported this phone were obviously in a weak position.
The reason was simple, there were too few quantities sold!
Only about 3,000 units of this phone had been sold so far. Even if they were satisfied with the cell phone, there were only 3,000 users. Some of them might not even discuss this online.
A larger proportion of users were actually questioning the brand, quality control, stocks, etc. Many believed that this cell phone was made by speculation and whether the specific value was worth buying or not.
Pei Qian was very satisfied with this. You just wait and see, you have to insist on your own judgment and don't buy it!
Finally, Pei Qian took out his cell phone and glanced at Gou Yan.
On the 18th day of Tomorrow is Beautiful with a box office of 4.184 million yuan today and an estimated box office of 225 million yuan!
Tomorrow is Beautiful ranked second in the box office. The first place was given to the domestic film that was released just two days ago.
Pei Qian held his forehead with this hand, his face full of pain.
Why did the estimated box office increase significantly?! That meant that the stamina of the movie was very strong. People probably went to watch it twice or thrice.
This was very bad news for Pei Qian. Pei Qian would earn a few million yuan more if the box office of this movie improved even a little.
What evil!
Pei Qian swiped to the right subconsciously, wanting to view the lineup tomorrow.
However, under the presale column, Tomorrow is Beautiful which originally occupied the second place, directly squeezed to the third place. The first place was an upcoming American blockbuster!
Pei Qian's eyes lit up.
My savior!
Great, the box office would definitely not reach 225 million yuan! Bro, why didn't you release half a month earlier?
[1] 'ARG' stands for Alternate Reality Game, a game that makes use of the real world as a platform to be altered by the player's choices.
