Rebirth 86: I use games to kick open the door to the world

Now the person in charge can only criticize Akira Nakamura's good luck in his heart.

However, when it comes to the specific production of cassettes, he still controls it, so Contra will not be able to make any waves.

And...he will have the opportunity to be promoted to a higher level in the future, so that he may have the opportunity to control Akira Nakamura.

Thinking of this, the person in charge had an unconcealable smile on his lips.

…

After more than ten days, Zuo Zhen returned to school.

Zuo Zhen's state this time was obviously different from before.

Because this time he can finally fully demonstrate his talents without having to fiddle with Sosou.

The game contract for Squirrel Wars has been signed, and the contract for Mega Man has also been signed. However, the cassette production share has not yet been determined. This will need to wait for some time.

If Mega Man wants to be released, it will probably have to wait until the end of the year, November or December.

During this period, game development has to continue, and I can finally start thinking about making some larger-scale games.

For example, role-playing games.

It's just a pity that several well-known IPs have either been released or have taken prototypes, and it is obviously impossible for me to produce them again.

If it doesn't work, just take it upon yourself to provide enough food and clothing.

Create your own IP series.

He was going to think about it during this time.

But before that, he still had things to do first.

That is to find your No. 2 employee, and consider recruiting new employees.

At this time, Zuo Zhen finally remembered his system.

When he came back, he specifically looked at the data in his system and found that there were three thousand extra points in the system.

This made him happy for a while.

At this point, Zuo Zhen finally understood one of the ways to obtain system points.

Earn points based on the percentage of sales of the games you develop.

The sales volume of Contra is 300,000. Based on the 3,000 points obtained, then one percent of the sales volume will be converted into points.

However, what if we develop Internet-type games ourselves in the future? How to get points for this?

This Zuo Zhen is not clear yet, and we can only study it at that time.

This time Zuo Zhen was not in a hurry to spend all three thousand points.

If you really want to use these 3,000 points, they won't be enough to fill your teeth.

Wait and see first, and use it to help yourself find some talents in the future.

In addition to points, Zuo Zhen also received other rewards this time.

This is a reward for completing system achievements.

"Game Rising Star" title.

Effect: Increases the chance of the game being liked by 1%. Another effect is that when players play games created by Zuo Zhen, they will be willing to play for longer, increasing the playing time by 10%.

In other words, if you play your own game, you will usually only play this game for ten hours, but with the blessing of this title effect, players are willing to play for one more hour.

This effect... can only be said to be a little bit, but not strong.

But it seemed to be easier to use than the previous title, so Zuo Zhen didn't hesitate much and directly used the new title.

Then this time, an additional prop was awarded, which was the physical fitness enhancement potion that required 5,000 points to redeem.

If Zuo Zhen were asked to redeem it himself, he would definitely be reluctant to give it up, but since it was given for free, Zuo Zhen would not be polite.

It’s just that you probably won’t need it now, let’s talk about it later. It’s not yet time to rush to develop the game.

When Zuo Zhen returned to school, the first thing he did was naturally report to his teacher.

Zhan Weishan didn't say much. He always felt that it was really pointless for Zuo Zhen to waste time and go abroad.

And it's a waste of money.

He knew that Zuo Zhen had made a few thousand dollars, but this could only last about half a month abroad at most.

How can I stay well in China and then work comfortably in a computer research institute?

However, because Zuo Zhen made an optimized spreadsheet processing software for Zhan Weishan, and the work was quite good, he was praised for it, so he turned a blind eye to Zuo Zhen's behavior and did not blame him. What.

He felt that when Zuo Zhen hit the wall, he would naturally look back. After all, he was still young and still fantasized about making a lot of money from video games.

After reporting to the teacher, Zuo Zhen went straight to the computer room.

It was past nine o'clock in the morning. If there were no accidents, Yu Mengchen, who had no class, should be in the computer room.

Before arriving at the computer room, Zuo Zhen said hello to Uncle Ma. Uncle Ma responded with a smile. At the same time, he also said that his little grandson had been waiting for Zuo Zhen's elder brother for a long time. When he got home in the evening, he told his little grandson about Zuo Zhen. Really come back thing.

Zuo Zhen entered the computer room in a good mood, and then looked around for Yu Mengchen.

However, what surprised him slightly was that Yu Mengchen was not there.

There are other people in the computer room. They gather together in twos and threes, some playing games, and some studying the latest programming knowledge.

"Classmate Zuo Zhen, you are back. I haven't seen you for more than ten days. Where have you been?"

A classmate of Zuo Zhen came over to say hello enthusiastically when he saw Zuo Zhen coming in.

"I just went out for a while and didn't do much."

"Oh, I heard from the teacher that you seem to be doing business. You must have made a lot of money, right?"

Zuo Zhen shook his head: "No, that's not enough. At most, it's just a small profit."

"Haha, I am so humble. When you were here before, we knew that you earned a few thousand yuan in more than a month. Now that you have been out for half a month, you have earned another few thousand yuan, right?"

This classmate couldn't help but look envious when he was talking.

Zuo Zhen's life is indeed enviable.

I can make money while in college, and I am so respected by teachers that I can even negotiate not to attend classes.

Zuo Zhen replied: "Just a little bit, not much."

After saying that, Zuo Zhen looked around and then asked, "Isn't classmate Yu Mengchen here today?"

"Ah, well, she hasn't been here the day before yesterday. We are also surprised."

Didn't come the day before yesterday?

This time Zuo Zhen was even more curious.

Based on his understanding of Mengchen during this period, she didn't seem like someone who would give up suddenly.

Then go to her dormitory or her usual classroom and look for it.

Zuo Zhen didn't take this too seriously. He came to Yu Mengchen mainly to send gifts. Since he was not here, he would send them another day.

At this time, this classmate looked at Zuo Zhen expectantly and asked, "By the way, Zuo Zhen, are you planning to play games again in the near future?"

Zuo Zhen looked at him: "What? Do you want to play the latest game?"

"Hey, it's a bit. In fact, I have recently become interested in your game development, so I also want to study it."

"Okay, if you're interested, I can show you the game development process."

Zuo Zhen is very happy to have someone who is willing to take the initiative to learn to develop games. No matter how talented such people are, it is good to have this mentality of wanting to learn.

"So, do you have a new game plan next?"

"Of course it does, and it's a completely new game type. It's different from Contra, Squirrel Wars, and Mega Man."

"Ah, is it true? Is that fun?" the classmate asked happily.

"Well, let's talk about it after you play."

"So does this game have a name?"

"Yes." Zuo Zhen nodded, "Its name is Fire Emblem."
