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

Ke Jin transmigrated into an era where gaming was in utter chaos. Everyone here deeply believed in the notion of buying happiness with money, as game companies ran wild with various schemes to trick and force players to spend. As a game enthusiast from his past life, Ke Jin felt like he was in a world without sunlight. Luckily, he obtained the Free Game Production System! Players could get the ultimate reward of the "Complete Collection of All Game Design Schemes" without spending a single cent! Not spending money? How hard could that be? Heap on the benefits! Give away 50 consecutive draws during the summer heatwave! Give away 100 draws on the second day after the server opens! Due to the game reaching 50 daily active users, we are issuing a cool skin set originally priced at 999! The planner's niece just turned 17 years and three months plus 7 days old, so we're giving away 50,000 crystals! My sincerity is almost flooding the players. Surely nobody will spend now, right? Secretary: Mr. Ke, good news! Our newly launched game has just reached over a hundred million in daily transaction volume on its first day! Ke Jin: Huh? How is that good news... No, what about the other game? The one where we give full 100-99 discount vouchers upon starting, isn't its sales terrible? Looking puzzled, the secretary said while anticipating the boss's reaction: They've been shouting things like 'what a conscientious company' and 'if we don't spend, they'll go bankrupt,' so they just topped up. That game sold a whopping one hundred million copies globally. Congratulations on making a billion! "......" At 3:30 a.m., lying in bed, Ke Jin was wide awake, unable to sleep. He posted a status: Please, I beg you, stop spending. You guys are really making it hard for me... Player: Understood, Mr. Ke is hinting life is hard, brothers, let's step up! Charge it!

Chapter 4: With a Sister Like This, Who Can Sleep at Night!_3

"Of course, there's no need to worry about wasting all the previous effort."

"Big Bang will produce a large amount of dark matter, and these dark energies can accelerate the production efficiency at the beginning of the game—double, even triple, five times, ten times. The more Big Bangs you trigger, the faster the game will progress. Like right now, I've only reached the Spore stage after streaming for an hour, but after one Big Bang, it may only take 20 minutes to get to Spore Element. And with two Big Bangs, it'll be even shorter."

"As for more game content and what the higher-level elements are, that's for you all to discover and experience. The game is available on WWgame, and I welcome everyone to download, try it out, and support~"

After Ke Jin finished speaking, the chat was silent for a few minutes.

Then it absolutely exploded!

Even though there were fewer than 500 viewers in the live stream, the level of chat activity was even more exaggerated than those streams with tens of thousands of online viewers!

The densely packed messages raced across the screen, covering it completely.

"OMG... This game looks so cheap, and with such toddler-like gameplay—yet it's logically consistent and forms a closed loop?"

"Who still remembers the opening line of the game? Born once from one, thrice from born, all beings emerge, in cycles reborn. So this is what it meant, huh?"

"It really fits the content of the game's title, Origin of Species. Whether it's the particle board evolving slowly from atoms to life-bearing spores, or the dust board upgrading from Fine Sand to entire planets—insignificant and massive, it provides infinite space for imagination."

"OMG! Hacks!"

"How can someone play a game with cheats on?"

"This is a newbie's first work? The core gameplay is just leveling up, but it's brought me an unprecedented sense of anticipation, always making me wonder and look forward to what the next level is."

"Uh oh, looks like he's got the gaming market figured out!"

"You don't need voiceovers or character sprites to be this engaging?"

"After everyone's said their piece, I'll add mine. Perhaps it's impressive for the host's first game to turn out like this, but this is Thunderbolt, and all I can say is, the host still needs practice! /Dog Head"

Ke Jin didn't bother to keep watching how the rolling chat appraised him; his promotional goal had been achieved.

After all, the task was to have at least 1000 people download and play the game. With three to five hundred people directed from his side and the promotions by WWgame, that should be sufficient.

So, he chose to end the stream at the speed of light.

Mainly because he was afraid that these viewers, with their expectations set so high, would come to his live stream to scold him after they discovered the excessively game-breaking recharge interface.

Time to make a quick exit in respect!

Meanwhile.

In the Thunderbolt administrator backend, the manager stared at the data of Ke Jin's live stream room and fell into deep thought.

At first, he thought Ke Jin was like other new streamers looking for shortcuts, a cheat.

That by buying some traffic early on, he was attempting to trick Thunderbolt into a contract, so he didn't pay much attention.

But then, the game stream room kept emitting high energy warning signals for the next hour.

Every few minutes, the chat would burst into a flurry of messages.

Just now, it even reached a B-level intense activity of over 300 messages per minute!

Many streamers with tens of thousands of viewers don't even have these stats.

Moreover, after taking a good look at the data, the manager found out.

This guy was not a cheat; all of the message senders came from normally used accounts.

At that moment, the manager began to take things seriously.

Opening Ke Jin's live stream and running through the details of the upcoming contract talks in his mind.

"This newbie looks pretty promising. I'll talk to him later, then offer him a B-level contract."

A B-level contract means a guaranteed base salary of 5,000 with a 55% share of gift revenue with the platform.

Mid-tier streamers have to grind hard to get this contract, and it's quite generous for a newbie to get this right off the bat.

"He must be grateful to me in his heart," the manager thought to himself, while opening Ke Jin's live stream room.

But as soon as he clicked.

The supervisor was stunned.

[The streamer has already gone offline. We will notify you in the activity feed when the streaming starts again—Last streaming duration: 1 hour 7 minutes]

"Gone offline???"

"No... With such high popularity, you just run away?" The supervisor's head filled with question marks.

If it were any other new streamer with an initial lucky streak, they'd yearn to stream continuously for three days and nights.

And this guy runs after just an hour of streaming?

"Maybe there's an emergency at home?" The supervisor considered and decided to send a private message to Ke Jin.

Since new streamers don't usually have a contract with the platform, they generally don't provide a phone number.

The only way to contact them is through internal private messages.

But when the manager had composed a long, sincere invitation to sign the contract.

As soon as he clicked send.

He was dumbfounded again.

[We're sorry, but your message couldn't be sent. The user hasn't enabled the private message feature yet.]

"This..." The supervisor stared at the bleak computer screen, sitting at the desk in disarray.

————

As Ke Jin had anticipated.

Right after he went offline, many viewers had already found the WWgame platform and started downloading "Origin of Species."

He logged in to his backend account to take a look.

The download speed was quite fast.

In just one hour, it had already reached over 400+.

Among these, besides the traffic brought by the live streaming on Thunderbolt.

WWgame must have also promoted him to some extent.

After all, the 5,000 yuan wasn't paid for nothing; it had some effect.

Passing the milestone of 1,000 downloads was just a matter of time.

Another comforting fact for him was.

From the time the game was launched until now, the income amount displayed on the system interface was still at 0.
