I Just Want Players to Save Money, They Insist on Giving Me!-Chapter 65 - 39 No One Has Recharged Such a Wonderful

One after another.

At first, Wang Laoju still tried reflexively clicking on the red “X” that popped up, attempting to close the ads.

But later he realized, he didn’t need to.

Mature ads had learned to play on their own.

The audience was dumbfounded as well.

“This is the first time I’ve ever watched half an hour of ads in a live stream… It’s like making up for all the ads I’ve skipped from childhood till now, all in one go. Who understands this feeling, my folks?”

“I’m baffled, isn’t he afraid of driving players away with this tactic? If players get mad and stop recharging, how is he going to survive?”

“Your first day playing Baby Ke’s game? His recharge interface has always been like this crap. It’s like he can go without living, but he can’t survive without hustle.”

“Is there a bro who can analyze the psyche of this designer? I’m not even curious about the recharge page anymore, I’m purely curious about him as a person.”

“What’s there to analyze? It’s obvious it’s all about ad revenue. Isn’t it common now with a lot of software? Depending on how many people click, that’s how much the advertisers pay him. It’s just that in the gaming industry, it seems he’s the first to try this.”

“Ah? But I remember there are regulations in the gaming industry to prevent manufacturers from undercutting each other. They have to set up reasonable payment pages, right?”

“Just talk about whether he has set it up… We just can’t recharge, that’s all.”

“That’s true…”

“I’ve got a question though. He earns ad revenue, sure—the players watch, he earns. Then on the advertiser’s side, the ads go out, and they earn too. So what about us players? Where is our experience?”

“Exactly! I want to spend money for a better experience. Where do I go to argue that now?”

“Baby Ke’s games have always been different from other companies. Not recharging doesn’t mean you can’t play…”

“Mind your own business, am I using your money to top up? I just want to spend a little on some cyber pleasure, how come even this right is taken away by the game designer? Isn’t that outrageous?”

“No, I have to try it out myself! This is a challenge to my dignity as a tycoon. I refuse to believe this evil! As long as there’s a recharge interface, there must be a way to get money in!”

…

WWgame was dumbfounded as well.

Especially Liu Tianding.

He had confidently promised the boss that this move would definitely rake in a fortune.

Particularly after seeing the popularity of “Skyline” skyrocket in various live streams that night, he was secretly pleased with himself, thinking he had exceptional foresight!

In a single night, by wee hours, the game had achieved a push of thirty thousand downloads!

Based on this gentleman’s previous average payment conversion rate,

it was definitely more than 50%.

Even if every person only spent a few tens of dollars,

that would instantly generate nearly a million in revenue!

Splitting half with WWgame, that’s a quick three to four hundred thousand in the pocket!

Keep in mind, this was only one night’s revenue.

He had signed a full 14-day promotion contract with the Number One Player Company.

The big bucks were yet to come!

“Aren’t we looking at earning millions, maybe even tens of millions?” Liu Tianding was ecstatic.

He could at least pocket a few percent of that.

With so much money, he didn’t even know how he’d spend it all!

“Good thing I stood firm against the pressure and outright rejected per-head charging cooperations!”

“Otherwise, at most we’d make a few million in profit. Now at least we’ll make tens of millions, more than double!”

“This darn kid, he’s got such convenient fleece. Heh heh.”

“Youthful, but it’s not like I’m not shrewd. Just consider this payback, nephew, for the promotion expenses you owe WWgame from last time.”

He was well aware that WWgame’s future journey wouldn’t intersect much with this exceptionally talented young designer.

Especially since the fellow had now established his own game company and even set up an official website.

It was clear he intended to go solo.

If he couldn’t profit, he would grab one last handful of fleece before they parted ways!

“It’s gotta be me. If it were someone else, they probably couldn’t make this money, heh heh.”

Just as Liu Tianding grinned, teeth bared in glee,

suddenly, his smile froze on his face.

Because he noticed in the WWgame backend data, where it connected with the Number One Player official website,

Revenue…

It’s 0.

Although there is a certain delay in the settlement of channel fees.

But the amount sold, this thing must give real-time feedback on both parties’ interfacing channels.

Otherwise, if I can’t see your data and you say whatever you say, what am I supposed to do?

“This can’t be happening, can it?” Liu Tianding rubbed his eyes, thinking he was too tired and seeing things in the middle of the night.

But upon closer inspection, the result was still 0.

“Could it be there’s a problem with the wireless internet connection on the laptop?” He hurried from the bedroom to the desktop computer in the living room, swiftly logging into the company’s backend account.

Truth be told, his fingers trembled while typing.

After several failed attempts, he finally managed to log in.

He couldn’t wait to click open the detailed data of the interfacing channel.

The cold 0 stung his eyes.

Liu Tianding had realized that something was very wrong.

But still, he gritted his teeth and, clinging to the last sliver of hope, opened the browser and found the NAA forum.

With trembling fingertips, he typed in “Urban Skyline,” “Payment,” “Recharge,” “Tycoon” as keywords for the search.

Read latest chapters at freёweɓnovel.com Only.

Quickly, the results came out.

There was already a small portion of players on the forum discussing this matter.

And the gist of it was that the game’s designer, Ke Jin, seemed to have exploited a legal loophole in the game, using an advertisement payment model to block the recharge interface.

Old players on the forum were fiercely debating this issue, with some feeling that the dignity of tycoons was being challenged, while others thought it could be a catalyst for major reforms in the game industry, not necessarily a bad thing. But Liu Tianding no longer had the energy to watch their debates.

He lay back in his chair like a fish dried of its water, opening and closing his mouth wanting to say something, yet unable to, looking even more like a fish out of water.

Then, the questions raised by his own audit department at noon resurfaced in his mind.

‘Manager Liu, it seems like he’s inserted advertisements into the recharge interface, should we contact him to inquire about this?’

And he, at the time, had confidently waved his hand and said there was no need, just wait and count the money.

Damn it!

I should’ve noticed something was off!

Liu Tianding regretted, slapping his thigh hard.

It was mainly because this brat’s tricks were just too unpredictable.

After all, before this, no game manufacturer had ever considered totally replacing the recharge interface with advertisements.

Because logically and emotionally, the direct method where players’ money immediately hits the account is the most straightforward; there’s no need for a middleman like an advertiser.

“Damn! You little brat! You damn, you seriously deserve to die! …uh-uh-uh, I deserve to die too!!”

The thought of having to offer 13 days of free service to this kid without charge and not knowing how to explain it to his boss had Liu Tianding almost turning green with regret.

Everyone is numb.

But Ke Jin isn’t numb.

Ke Jin is chuckling.

It’s already one in the morning, yet he’s still wide awake without a hint of sleepiness, eyes bright and focused on the system panel, getting more excited the more he looks.

0!

It’s 0!

No tricks!

No surprises!

A solid, resounding zero!

He’s never had such a wonderful start before!

At first, Ke Jin was a bit worried.

Although his plan was sound, after those few unexpected instances before, he now feels suspicious of everyone.

He even suspects his little sister of secretly spending money on him.

But then he thinks better of it.

That stingy gal would rather spend money on concert tickets than on him, silently saving up for her dowry day by day.

Just you wait until I marry off your best friend in minutes, and then we’ll see who you’ll marry!

However, when you get down to it, this plan could be so flawlessly executed thanks in large part to Ke Yu.

“Forget it, I won’t stoop to the level of a kid,” Ke Jin muttered, glancing at the system panel again.

Still 0!

All those streamers playing it tonight, such high exposure.

More than thirty thousand downloads, countless players trying it out.

And yet to this moment not a single player has charged even a penny.

How can I lose?

Ke Jin simply couldn’t think of any way he could fail the mission.

Steady, that’s the word, I’ll say it just once!
