I just want players to save money, but I was made the richest man

After confirming the project.

The employees of Ready Player One were extremely motivated.

For this new type of game, it is also a new level of challenge for them.

If Kejin hadn't driven them back to bed at 10pm, they would have wished to live in the company.

Although the overall project volume of Stardew Valley is not large, the seven-day period is still somewhat tight, requiring employees to focus on their jobs almost all day long, and even work overtime from early morning to late at night.

Faced with such hard-working employees, Ke Jin saw it all and was not stingy.

Overtime pay is directly calculated as three times that of holidays, and he will personally order lunch + afternoon tea + dinner + after-dinner fruits + midnight snacks for employees in advance and deliver them to each employee's workstation for free.

In addition, the cost of taking the night shift home will also be reimbursed!

In addition, the hot summer season is approaching.

Kejin also contacted a decoration master in the past two days to renovate the tea room and put in two upright refrigerators filled with purified water and various beverages.

There is also a large refrigerator filled with all kinds of ice cream.

From cheap old popsicles to bitter coffee, to cute ones, and even Haagen-Dazs, Magnum series, etc., they all have it.

Let employees choose.

Such benefits make employees who are already very loyal to Ready Player One almost moved to tears.

A game company, the greatest inspiration and creativity, the most detailed planning, all without the boss.

They just need to follow the plan and complete it.

But in this case, the company benefits of the number one player are still considered to be beyond the standard in the industry.

Many employees uploaded photos of company benefits throughout the day to their WeChat Moments.

It instantly aroused the jealousy of many other colleagues.

"I'm super? Are you here to work or on vacation?"

"Is Ready Player One still hiring? Although I am the department head of another A-level company, the treatment offered by Ready Player One even makes me want to clean up their company..."

"There is no harm without comparison, Zhuo!"

"You should forward this to our boss to take a look! We are all CEOs, so why is the boss so outstanding?"

"Ahem, I hope Xiao Ke won't do this again. Our employees have already gone to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to report me... In the conscience of heaven and earth, I only give them 997 every day, which is really not much."

Facing the envy of other colleagues that is about to overflow the screen, and the anger of fellow bosses that overflows the screen.

It also made the employees of Ready Player One appreciate their work even more.

Just after graduating from college, I joined a company where "the boss is not only extremely talented, but also very generous, and the future is very bright." Is there anything more fortunate than this?

Do it until you die! Did you hear me? I'm going to do it until I die!

Ever since, under the frenzied rush of the employees.

"Stardew Valley" passed the second internal test in the evening of the sixth day, not even on the seventh day.

Let the programming department work overtime at night to modify and fine-tune some bugs, and then it can be released at any time.

In this process.

Kejin also asked the programming department to make a small jump link and embed it into the game on the method he had already thought about to help farmers.

And a section on the topic of helping farmers has been opened on the official website of No. 1 Player.

As long as the player can get through a specific node he set and unlocks an achievement, this jump dialog box will pop up. Click to jump to the official website.

Ke Jin has full confidence and confidence in "Stardew Valley".

He is not shy about inserting additional content into the game's opening screen or popping up ads during game play.

The benefits brought by that are too low.

It’s possible that the players are having a great time, but if you play an advertisement to help farmers out of the blue, it will only make the players frown and click ×.

It has no effect at all.

If we want to recruit, we must recruit high-quality buyers!

Let your peers experience what it means to be a "buyer who is slow to sell, please help us!" ’

Wait until early morning on the seventh day.

When Chang Detai faced an email from Ready Player One about the finished product of "Stardew Valley".

I almost spit out all the wolfberry tea I just took a sip of.

"Damn it, is this kid serious??" Chang Detai wiped his mouth and stared at the mailbox with eyes wide open, his face full of disbelief.

It will definitely be done.

The number one company is not too small now, and every spit is like a nail. Chang Detai naturally has no worries about being left behind.

But he has been immersed in the gaming industry for so many years. He doesn’t know how to make games, but he also knows that there is usually a well-known word in the gaming industry-jumping.

The time given by the Huaguang Bureau is quite generous, and it will be effective until the Golden Autumn Festival. It can be regarded as a small and long-term public welfare activity.

Therefore, Kejin said that it would only take seven days.

Chang Detai didn't care.

Can a game without bounced tickets still be called a game?

So what if I give him ten days and a half to polish it carefully?

Not less than a day or two!

Who knows the outcome.

This kid didn't even finish the seventh day...

I couldn't wait to send it over early in the morning.

In other words, their actual completion time was only six days...

"This..." Faced with this development speed of the Kazakh people, Chang Detai couldn't help but feel worried.

Isn't this a shoddy game made just to complete a mission...

"Let me take a look first."

While talking, Chang Detai clicked on the installation package.

The game is not large in size and will be downloaded in a short time.

Can’t wait to click run.

The UI interface at the start is simple and beautiful. There is only a wooden sign hanging above the screen with five large characters "Stardew Valley" written on it.

At the same time, the soft and beautiful chords of the guitar sounded in my ears at the right time.

Adds to the peaceful and relaxing atmosphere.

The game hadn't even started yet. The pleasant and friendly background sound effects made Chang Detai feel as if he had entered a pleasant world full of farm life.

Suddenly, the anxiety he had been feeling due to helping farmers and charity was gradually relieved little by little.

The game has pixel-style graphics, which makes Chang Detai even more fond of it.

Perhaps for many gamers, pixel-style games are outdated.

Nowadays, more players are pursuing excellent picture quality, exquisite modeling, and magnificent epic world view.

But in Chang Detai's eyes, it was just the opposite.

He lived through a real video game period.

When I was still in college, it was the late 1990s and the rise of red and white computers.

Games at that time were all made up of piles of pixel blocks, coupled with magical 8-bit electronic sound effects that could only be generated by 8-bit audio chips due to technological development limitations.

But I still had a lot of fun.

Chang Detai always feels that the pixel style is more representative of the gaming industry. It is a unique feature that is not found in other industries.

"It feels like I've put a lot of effort into the music, but I don't know what the content of the game is like." Chang Detai, whose heart was not yet fully in his stomach, clicked the [Create Game] button in the lower left corner.

Not long after, a CG popped up in the game.

In a Western-style house, candles flicker on the fireplace.

A gray-haired old man was lying on the bed with a letter in his hand.

"To my most special grandson:

Please accept this letter.

Don't open it yet, please be patient.

listen.

That moment when you feel overwhelmed by the burdens of real life.

The moment when your spirit fades away in the face of emptiness.

If there is such a day.

My grandson, you can open this gift.

So, let grandpa have a good rest now. "

Saw this narration.

Chang Detai's thoughts were inexplicably wandering.

Grandpa... This is a word that has not been mentioned for many years.

I still remember my first Famicom when I was young. My grandfather, an old farmer like me, collected vegetables from the garden and sold them at the market for a week, and then he saved up the money to buy it as a birthday gift for himself.

The old man has passed away many years ago, and he is now almost old enough to be a grandfather.

But every time I think of his old man, I can always feel the warmth and peace in my heart.

"I have to say, this cut-in has a good sense of immersion." Chang Detai sighed slightly.

We have just entered a short section of CG, the picture is not exquisite and the text is relatively short.

But he could feel the sincerity coming from the number one player.

Everyone has a grandfather, and everyone’s grandfather’s generation is almost all farmers.

This entry point is well chosen and goes well with the theme of helping farmers.

Chang Detai relaxed his brows slightly and clicked the [Continue] button again.

He also wanted to know what special gift the old man in the game wanted to give him?

After the brief narration process.

The scene changes.

What came into view was a company called Joja with a rather depressing atmosphere.

Employees are "imprisoned" in separate office rooms divided into four square grids like a prison.

It can be seen intuitively that there is a camera hanging on the top of each employee's office, as if they are always watching whether the employees are slacking off.

The desk was extremely messy and dirty.

As the camera goes on, it is not difficult to see that some employees fainted at their workstations from exhaustion.

Other employees continued to work hard with expressionless faces.

This scene was somewhat exaggerated, and Chang Detai couldn't help laughing.

Although it is a bit exaggerated, I think back on my work experience when I just graduated.

It can be considered relatively realistic and close to life.

At the same time, the protagonist, who was exhausted both physically and mentally, looked around and opened the drawer.

He dug out the letter that his grandfather had left for him.

"Dear grandson.

When you start reading this letter, it means you have an urgent need to change the status quo.

I have had times before where I have neglected the most important things in life, which are the connections between people and the relationship between people and nature.

So I gave up everything and came to where I truly belonged.

…

Now, I give you this place, which is located in the town of Stardew Valley on the coast. It will be the perfect place for you to start a new life.

Love you, grandpa. "

You can tell from the envelope.

The late grandfather left a farm with fertile soil to his beloved grandson.

After the protagonist packed his luggage and took a long-distance bus all the way to the small town of Stardew Valley, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers.

After many twists and turns, he stood in front of the farm left to him by his grandfather.

The game officially begins here.

to be honest.

When Chang Detai first saw the large farm in front of him, he felt disgusted and frowned slightly.

From the first sight, there is a dilapidated wooden house that has not been repaired for many years.

A messy farm, with weeds everywhere, trees growing wantonly, and large piles of rocks.

This constitutes a 'garbage dump'-like scene in front of the player's eyes.

It's just like an old house that has been abandoned for hundreds of years in the deep mountains and old forests.

Feeling stressed when you first come up?

This is neither relaxing nor leisurely...

Until he saw the interface showing the inventory at the bottom of the screen.

A row of agricultural tools has been placed inside.

Pickaxe, hoe, sickle, axe, and a small watering can.

"You mean, let us players take care of it ourselves?" Chang Detai started to take action while thinking.

Although he is not too young, he has been in and out of the gaming industry for more than ten years, so he still has a little understanding.

Furthermore, he did know that there was a well-known anchor Lao Yinzi in the anchor circle next door, who was over forty years old.

But the operation and game understanding are much better than some young people.

Hum, the veteran has not withered yet!

Chang Detai also quickly switched to the sickle and lightly clicked the left mouse button on the circle of weeds in front of him.

"歘!"

The sound of cutting grass was heard, and the character swung his knife out, directly cutting down a large area of ​​obstructing weeds in front of him!

A small circle of clean fertile soil was exposed.

Chang Detai's eyes couldn't help but become a little brighter!

this……

What's going on with this inexplicable decompression? !

Chang Detai thought that the cleaning process would be very cumbersome.

Chang Detai was so accustomed to the krypton gold games on the market that he subconsciously thought that a pop-up window would pop up later, [You can organize your farm with one click with the first deposit of X yuan]

It has to be said that he likes the feeling of cleaning up.

He continued to wave the sickle and walked towards another weed pile.

"歘!"

Another knife followed by relief.

within the next five minutes.

Chang Detai did almost nothing else.

I am just tidying up the yard in front of my house.

In the process of organizing, I also gradually figured out how to use various farm tools.

To clear weeds, use a sickle.

An ax is used to cut down trees, and a pickaxe is used to quarry rocks.

The hoe can plow the land, turning the bright yellow soil into a dark brown 'suitable for planting' state.

In addition, a kettle can be used to water the seeds.

Soon, he cleared the overgrown yard in front of his farmhouse.

Looking at the clean land in front of me.

Chang Detai suddenly felt that he had gained a different kind of pleasure that he had never experienced in other games.

An ‘orderly’ joy!

Usually, people feel better after finishing their housework and looking at the brand new floor and the neatly arranged furniture.

But this comes at the cost of hard labor.

But in the game, the designer obviously minimized this 'cost'.

All it takes is one click of the mouse.

You can gain a small area of ​​‘orderly’ state!

I have to say, this feels very good.

"But, what's next?" Chang Detai flipped through his task list.

One is to say hello to the residents of the town.

The other is to complete a sowing.

There are also 15 packs of rice seeds given away under the task box (Note: The novice gift pack in the original game is parsnips, but parsnips are basically not available in China, and some subsequent content will be subject to some reasonable fine-tuning, please forgive me.)

"You mean you want me to farm?" Chang Detai muttered while switching hoe.

15 packets of seeds correspond to 15 small squares of land.

After he quickly dug out a 3*5 piece of dark brown soil, he was able to bury the seeds on it.

Then water the pot in turn.

"Then we just need to wait for the harvest?" After the whole process was completed, Chang Detai looked at the seedlings moistened by water in front of him.

But there was a very strange feeling in my heart.

"This is really an out-and-out farming game..."

Good guy, the engraving designer is really not off topic at all!

If you say farming, just farm!

Come up and clean up the yard before starting work.

At first, Chang Detai himself was a little confused about the farming genre.

You can farm in reality, but how do you implement it in the game? Will players have the patience to wait for spring plowing and autumn harvest?

And now, Ready Player One has given him an answer.

simply put.

The engraving designer refined the originally complex and cumbersome content to the extreme.

Players only need to turn over the soil, sow seeds, and water to complete the farming steps.

Farmers plow in spring and harvest in autumn, and need to weed and remove insects, water and fertilize day after day, without taking a break under the scorching sun.

When the autumn harvest comes, it will be a process of all the hardships and joys.

But when it comes to players, there is almost no hard work, they just have to wait for the harvest.

Farming games reduce the difficulty of obtaining happiness to the minimum range!

Although the difficulty has been reduced, it does not mean that players have not put in their efforts.

The players also allowed these seeds to be sown through their own operations.

Therefore, you will also get a matching sense of accomplishment.

At least.

When Chang Detai sown rice seeds in his neatly organized 3*5 field.

There is a faint sense of satisfaction in my heart.

Because we just cleaned up a large circle of debris, sowing seeds, and watering, all of them require physical strength.

Only then did Chang Detai discover that there were physical limitations in the game.

At this time, his protagonist's physical strength has been exhausted, and the game system begins to prompt him to rest.

Returning to the dilapidated hut and having a good sleep can end the first day directly.

Moreover, there is a big recycling bin next to the house.

You can throw all your belongings except farm tools into it, and the income will be settled while you sleep.

Chang Detai threw in some plant fibers, tree seeds, and some stones that he had just collected during cleaning.

After entering the house, click to sleep.

The settlement interface on the first day is presented.

A series of crisp gold coin rolling sound effects emerged.

[Today’s income: 34 gold coins]

"Okay, can you make money so soon?" There was another small burst of secret joy in my heart.

Soon enough, when the next day comes.

Chang Detai opened the door.

He was shocked by the scene in front of him.

The seeds he had just sown yesterday.

Pieces of green seedlings have appeared today.

Looking at the greenery in front of my house, it is full of vitality.

Chang Detai felt a little happy again.

"This guy actually reduced the growth rate of his plants?"

"Indeed, if we follow the actual crop growth time, this process will be very slow. Even if a day can pass after a short sleep, players need to click more than ten times in a row to achieve it."

"He accurately captures the player's psychology, allowing the player to see changes every time he wakes up..."

This piqued Chang Detai's curiosity.

On the second day of the game, he simply did nothing. He only watered the seeds and then clicked to sleep.

When I got up on the third day.

Sure enough, I saw that the green seeds had grown again.

Click on it with the mouse, and a prompt will pop up [Estimated maturity time: 2 days].

Chang Detai's sense of expectation was completely aroused.

He wanted to see what the rice would look like when it was fully grown and how much it would cost after harvesting.

Water and sleep on!

The fourth day.

Water.

Sleep again!

Finally, when the fifth day came.

Chang Detai manipulated the protagonist to open the door of the cabin.

Immediately, my attention was attracted by the small 3*5 field plowed by myself at the door.

A bright yellow crop swayed in the wind, and the heavy ears of rice were bent under the weight of the full rice grains.

Mature!

Chang Detai's eyes were full of joy, as if he had turned into a farmer with loess in the sky at this moment, and he was full of joy when facing the harvest of crops.

He even felt like he hadn't been this excited for a long time.

Arriving at the wheat field excitedly.

Click the right mouse button to collect the mature crops.

The unique magical sound of "pop", "pop", "pop" when harvesting crops fills my mind.

In a short time, all 15 fields were wiped out.

And what made him even more happy was.

15 parts of seeds can theoretically only produce 15 parts of rice.

But in fact, there were 18 copies in his backpack!

Extra output!

"This guy actually added some factors that are not in reality."

"He applied the common crit flow settings in the game to the farming type?"

"Good boy...you are so good at catching players' minds." Chang Detai raised his brows slightly, feeling even more delighted!

This is an unexpected bonus!

Each more piece you harvest means you can earn more money by selling one piece.

Let me ask, which farmer doesn’t want to sell more of the crops he has worked so hard to grow, and then sell more?

And when Chang Detai looked carefully.

Once again I was shocked by the unconstrained ideas of this kid Ke Jin!

Of these 18 portions of rice, two are placed separately in the inventory.

A small silver star is also painted on the lower left corner of the rice pattern.

Click to view detailed description.

[Silver Star Crops: 20% additional selling price]

[Description: The higher the farmer level, the higher the probability of harvesting high-quality crops. Your current farmer level is level 1, and the high-quality critical hit bonus is 10%]

[You can continuously harvest crops to increase farmer experience and improve your level]

"Hiss..." Chang Detai's eyes widened.

What an unexpected surprise!

How long has it been?

Not even 15 minutes before and after.

At this moment, the designer gave himself so many surprises repeatedly in the early stages of the game?

Each one is unexpected!

And greater joy is yet to come.

After Chang Detai couldn't wait to throw the rice into the purchase box, he ran back to the house to sleep.

That night, the settlement screen popped up.

[Total earnings today: 661 gold coins]

I was busy just now, cleaning things for several minutes, and only sold it for less than 40 yuan.

Now after planting the land, watering and sleeping every day, you can directly earn more than 600? ?

at once! The joy of harvest almost filled Chang Detai's chest!

From clearing land, plowing, sowing, irrigating, and harvesting.

This game almost perfectly replicates the real-life farming process, allowing players to gain a sense of immersion while playing farmers.

However, this game is designed with a simple aesthetic.

Let players throw away the confusion during the game, leaving only expectations and joy!

The game lasted less than half an hour, but Chang Detai, who had never thought about how to play a farming game, felt his scalp tingling slightly.

"Fuck! This is how it feels! This is simply the most ideal farming game in my mind!" Chang Detai exclaimed almost uncontrollably, and Chang Detai even uttered a curse word out of control.

It's like a sentence that someone often said when describing science fiction before.

I don’t know what sci-fi is, but when I see it, I know it is.

Chang Detai was in the same mood at this moment.

I don't know how a farming game will be presented.

But when I started playing "Stardew Valley".

I knew that this game gave me a rich and colorful outline of my barren imagination about farming!

"What a boy! You are really the future light of our gaming industry!" Chang Detai took a deep breath and glanced at the game screen on the screen, his eyes full of joy.

Happy National Day to all my brothers~
