A City of Infinite Winners in One's Life

"18... [-]?! It's amazing!" Sawamura Yingri looked at Shiyu of Kasumigaoka next to her, with a mixture of envy and jealousy in her eyes, she felt strange.Xiazhiqiu Shiyu is not much older than her, but she has achieved such achievements now, but she is still a fanartist who draws [-] ban workkoufu/libenzi, and she is still not famous.The gap is so huge that she feels powerless. It is not very difficult to catch up with Shiyu of Xiazhiqiu, but she will not give up, because her teacher is a master like Li Wei, and she believes that she will sooner or later. One day she can become popular, and by then she will also become a national-level comic book master.

"It's beyond my expectations, but the result is good. Now there are [-] sales during the peak period. With the subsequent sales, the result of the first volume should not be lower than [-] copies. This result is very important for many veterans. As a writer, it’s not bad, congratulations, Shiyu.” Li Wei sighed, although he provided an outline, it is not as simple as an outline to tell the story well, if the outline is like the skeleton of a work , determine the direction and structure of the work, then the talent of Kasumigaoka Shiyu is the magic pen that attaches the flesh and blood to this skeleton.No matter how good the outline is, if the author's skill is not enough, then only this skeleton will be attached with ugly fat and fat, and Kasumigaoka Shiyu has made this skeleton into a peerless beauty.

[-] copies is the most conservative speculation, and sales of more than [-] copies cannot be ruled out. The most popular light novel is half a month after it is released, and then it will gradually decline.

"Look at the feedback on the Internet, how the readers responded." Li Wei opened a new webpage, entered the address, and entered the country's largest forum for light novel enthusiasts.When he entered the forum, he saw the news that the headline was the novel "My Family Has a God-Lord" by Xiazhiqiu Shiyu, and Li Wei saw at a glance the forum's new section for "God-sama", which is a popular novel The only treatment is that it is difficult for ordinary writers to reach the sales volume of [-] copies of a single volume. [-] copies is a watershed and a threshold for identifying the strength of light novelists. Just koi.

Li Wei began to browse various information posts, and I have to say that Shiyu of Xiazhiqiu is really a rhythm this time. This majestic work has swept away the decadence of the entire market and injected into this already shrinking market. With fresh blood, Li Wei has been able to foresee that many writers will follow suit and write works of this atmospheric style in the near future.

"It feels incredible to have so many people supporting me. I didn't even know I would have so many supporters." Xiazhiqiu Shiyu felt a little surprised, but the expectations and urging of so many readers still made her feel The pressure is gone, but for her, the pressure is the driving force. With the guidance of perfecting the outline and Li Wei, and her own efforts, her update speed is almost as fast as the hippo who wrote "Magic Forbidden". The new generation The human flesh typewriter is already online.

"Since Kasumigaoka-senpai has become a light novelist, then I have to work hard to become a manga artist, and strive to draw works as successful as senpai's." Holding a small fist, Eri Sawamura cheered for herself.Although she is envious of Xiazhiqiu Shiyu's achievements, she is not the kind of person who can only watch other people's efforts and then talk sarcastically, especially when she has a good teacher, she has a very rare opportunity to learn now.

Li Wei is satisfied with Eri Sawamura's attitude. Envy and jealousy alone cannot make him move forward. Since he can't change the world, he must change himself. For Eri Sawamura, who is willing to do so, success is only a matter of time. It's just that her talent is also quite terrifying.

chapter 086. preparations for the winter holy war

"In order to celebrate, how about going out for a meal? The three of you together." Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu said with a smile, such a result has to be celebrated. The first book broke the sales of [-] copies, and the money she could get was also With a considerable amount of money, she suddenly became a little rich woman from an ordinary student.

But even so, Xiazhiqiu Shiyu will not give up her studies. She is not the kind of person who is easy to swell, and this book is likely to be her first and last book. She plans to carefully craft it, Bring the best content to your readers.Because Shiyu of the Hill of Xia is already preparing, if he leaves, what will his family do.Fortunately, Shiyu of Xiazhiqiu still has a younger brother and two younger sisters, and there is no shortage of people in the family. She wants to rely on her own strength to save a little more for her family, even if she leaves, she can leave with peace of mind.

It takes a lot of courage to make this determination, but she doesn't want to live by it in this life. When there is no choice, people will only follow their instincts and continue to climb to the heights of society, but there is really one that can make people jump out of this. Opportunities in the strange circle, many people will make the same choice as her, one side is the same day-to-day routine, and the other side is a brand new unknown world, endless wonderful life is waiting for you, as long as you are not stupid , most people will choose the second one.

"Eh? I'm going too, wouldn't that be inappropriate?" Sawamura Eiri said in surprise when she heard that the three of them were together, pointing her finger at herself.

"Of course, because you are also a part of this studio. If you don't consider yourself a part of this place, then just pretend I didn't say it." Looking at Sawamura Eiri's surprised appearance, Kasumigaoka Shiyu It felt a little funny. At the beginning, she was not used to the existence of Sawamura Yingli, but she finally found out that Sawamura Yingli was actually a very simple girl, and it could even be said that she lacked the most basic changes. , everything is put on the face.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu is not saying that the situation of Sawamura Eri is not good, it is just that simple words like this are easy to suffer in society. After all, not everyone treats others with kindness, and she knows that Sawamura Eri's father is a diplomat. official.It stands to reason that the daughter of a diplomat should be very good at communication, but Eili Sawamura is not only a housekeeper, but also is not good at communication. If you talk to people, it is easy to get caught.

"Cough cough...Then I won't refuse..." Although she was still a little embarrassed, Sawamura Yingri also no longer refused. After all, she always felt that Shiyu of Kasumigaoka seemed to have some kind of special prejudice against her, but Now that attitude has changed, and that's for the better.She studied with Li Wei, but Li Wei is also Shiyu's partner. She is a generation shorter in terms of "generation", so she will always be at an absolute disadvantage when facing Shiyu of the Hill of Xia. Externally, it is also a spontaneous psychological weakness within her.

"Then where to go... But I don't feel like moving. It's really too comfortable in this studio, so I don't want to go out..." Li Wei found that it was not only himself, but also Kasumigaoka Shiyu and Sawamura Eiri. A lazy expression on his face that doesn't want to move. "I said, is it really okay for girls to be as lazy as you?"

"Small slack is a girl's patent, but you, is it really okay to be so lazy?" Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu asked rhetorically.The environment in the studio is completely set up according to the home style, but there are so many trivial things at home, which is a good thing for people who don't like housework.However, the only downside is that it is too troublesome to clean. Unlike the activity rooms of other departments, the staff can clean it directly. This small activity department has only three people, and when they are in the activity room, they are quite busy. I don't have time to clean, so I have to hire someone to do it for me.In this way, the three of them have developed the habit of being lazy, and now it has become serious to this point.

"Now for the winter comicmarket, I have put down some other work, and the time can only be said to be barely enough. How can I run around under such circumstances. Since you have decided to release your own independent game in the winter comicmarket, how can you delay the ticket?” Li Wei closed the webpage and jumped back to his work interface. Now the development of the game is not bad, and the test version will be released again. It will be released soon.It is simply that Li Wei has enough material, otherwise this work will not be able to catch up with the progress at all.

Li Wei's independent game "Titan Journey: Kuroshio" was originally intended to be released on TGS, but because TGS does not accept independent games to participate in the exhibition, it can only be released in places like CM where amateurs gather.

The first "Titan Journey: Immortal Throne" was released by IronLore Entertainment (THQ) in 2006. THQ, as the third largest game maker in North America, used to have a great reputation, but now it is bankrupt.You read that right, THQ went bankrupt. Whether it is the world where Li Wei lives or this world, THQ is so unlucky.However, in Li Wei's world, THQ filed for bankruptcy protection in 2012, and officially went bankrupt in 2013, and THQ in this world is even more unlucky, and it was finished in 09.Now all the game production studios and copyrights under THQ have been transferred to new buyers, who have been acquired by Sega and Ubisoft Games.

Li Wei bought the IP of "Titan Journey" from Ubisoft, because Ubisoft has been very busy recently. "Assassin's Creed" and the latest "For Honor" have become the new year's goods. Ubisoft's All the energy has been dragged on, and there is no time to care about the "Titan Journey" that has already hit the street.

"Titan Journey" is a typical traditional ARPG mode. To put it bluntly, it is similar in style to Blizzard's "Diablo". If Ubisoft makes this IP, it will directly compete with Blizzard's "Diablo". It was thankless, so this IP was sold to Li Wei, who paid a high price. All the copyrights of 470 million US dollars were all packaged to Li Wei. Now Li Wei has toss this IP with his personal freedom.

Chapter 087. Rejection of tgs

But also thanks to that stupid CEO of THQ, Brian J. Farrell.Because of this idiot's mess, THQ went directly from the third largest game manufacturer in North America to a rotten building, and the stock price plummeted from $30 per share to $0.7 per share. In the later stage, the sales staff were more motivated to sell studios than games. , THQ was tossed into bankruptcy by the wrong decision of this product, and as a result, it was eaten by other large manufacturers. The CEO of THQ is an idiot, but all the employees under him are elites. This is simply the rhythm of the Eight-Power Allied Forces grabbing the Yuanmingyuan. THQ was directly dismembered by other large manufacturers.

Besides, after getting the copyright from Ubisoft, Li Wei started the production of the game non-stop. The first generation of "Titan Journey: Immortal Throne" is a typical 2.5D adventure action game, although the quality is also very good. , even if Li Wei directly develops a so-called second generation on this basis, there is no problem. Just like Diablo 3 is just an upgraded version of Diablo 2, Li Wei can also cheat money like Blizzard.

But this is really boring. If you really do it, it will be really unscrupulous, and there are not many ARPG games now. It is not easy to kill a bloody path in a large number of similar games. thing.As a result, Li Wei directly transformed "Titan Journey" into 3D, and the style was a mixture of "The Elder Scrolls 5" and "Devil May Cry 5" plus the "Three Kingdoms Warriors" series, taking into account the large-scale sandbox world view, super With large, seamless maps and the crisp, mowing feel of an unparalleled game, it's a massive project.Li Wei has only completed a demo version for testing. The completion of the world map is less than 5%, and there are only forty copies of fixed monsters, which is just for testing.

And this time Li Wei is not making games for money at all, just to promote this game, the trial version is free.Now the map size of this game is about 5% of that of The Elder Scrolls 40. Although it is relatively large, it is only a small part of the finished product. The overall game duration is the most important for clearing all the existing plots. It only takes 8 hours.But after all, it is an unfinished beta version, and it can't be too demanding, right?

Li Wei also has his own ideas, because he actually applied for the TGS (Tokyo Game Show) booth, but was rejected by the organizer. There are two reasons. First, he is from China, and was rejected by the organizer's corporate legal person Neon. The Computer Entertainment Association "sanctioned" it because of nationality. The second is that Li Wei's "Throne of Titans: Kuroshio" was too high-quality, and it directly confronted Sony.Because of the TGS this time, Sony will release the long-delayed "Cavalry on the Dragon's Back 3" on its own home computer.

Although Li Wei's "Titan Journey: Kuroshio" belongs to the PC-side stand-alone, it seems that there is no direct conflict with "Cavaliers on the Dragon's Back 3" on the home machine, but you must know that TGS is Sony's home, and Sony cannot let it go. A Chinese independent game slapped "Cavalry on the Dragon's Back 3", which is equivalent to directly hitting Sony in the face, an independent game can be so sophisticated, doesn't that mean "Cavalry on the Dragon's Back 3" The money has no effect, where did the money go?How do you explain this to the people above?

So because of these two points, Li Wei's application for a booth was rejected directly. Sony put pressure on the corporate legal person Neon Computer Entertainment Association, and the organizer did it directly. Li Wei said that it was really huh. Small movements, neon companies are often like this.But it is precisely because of this that Li Wei directly cast "Titan Journey: Kuroshio" to comicmarket. This is a dead house exhibition where fan books and fan games get together, and the organizers of comicmarket are very happy to accept Li Wei's proposal. I applied for the exhibition, and directly gave a "big hand" booth. Even the booth of Shiyu Kasumigaoka's fan fiction and the booth of Eri Sawamura's book painting can be moved to both sides of Li Wei's game booth. The three people's main club this time. The name "Toyozaki High School ACGN Division" is the name of a student club, but this kind of contrast is also what the main board official is happy to see, because it is easy to create a topic.

Originally, comicmarket belongs to the kind of exhibition that is very popular but has little money. ComicMarket preparation meeting is not so rich, so in order to continue to increase his influence and small money, Li Wei talked about his own affairs, ComicMarket preparation meeting said, If you can slap TGS in the face, why not do it, after all, your peers are enemies (funny laugh).So Li Wei won the big-hand booth. Although it is not a super-hand, the position is quite good. After all, it is not convincing to take a super-hand seat for the first time at the exhibition, and the organizer and Li Wei also have an indescribable PY. It's not good to be known for trading.

The organizer still treats Li Wei's three-person club very favorably. They can bring the big screen showing the game into the venue, and also allow to bring audio equipment, and there are special staff to help with the transportation. Li Wei and the three only need to play empty-handed. Now, this privilege is not enjoyed by other societies.

Li Wei's main feature is "Titan Journey: Kuroshio" with his unique God-optimized 3A/class large-scale PC, while Kasumigaoka Shiyu's main work is her "Spirit of God", which is regarded as the original author's unprofessional work. The series is over. Eri Sawamura is the most inconspicuous of the three, but she sells illustration collections. During this period of time, she has been rushing to draw illustrations and original paintings. The content involves the works of Li Wei and Xiazhiqiu Shiyu, and His own independent works, and because of Li Wei's good tuning/teaching, her painting skills have surpassed that of most mainstream painters. In comicmarket, a fan-based exhibition, her level has already beaten most painters. Now, even at the level of a professional painter, she can now be ranked in the middle, and with the blessings of Li Wei and Xiazhiqiu Shiyu, her performance in this comicmarket should not be too bad.

chapter 088. small celebration

There is still a period of time before the comicmarket, so the three of them still have enough time to complete their own works. Among them, Shiyu of Xiazhiqiu is the easiest. After all, the output efficiency of text is the fastest, so her side story In fact, it has been completed now, but it needs to be further polished.

The huge amount of engineering is actually Li Wei and Sawamura Yingli. Li Wei's games are now semi-finished even in the beta version. If you don't speed up the speed, you can't really come up with anything on the comicmarket, and Li Wei is still a "one-man army". From the characters of the game to the scenes to the animation and dubbing, he has to complete everything by himself. This huge amount of engineering is unimaginable for ordinary people. For such a huge game, even if it is the industry's top large-scale work It also takes two or three years to complete the room, and Li Wei's speed is already terrifyingly fast.

The three of them didn't want to move. Although school was over now, everyone had their own jobs. If they went out at this time, it would be a waste of time, but because of Kasumigaoka Shiyu's proposal, Li Wei and Sawamura Yingli were hooked. When I get up, even if I sit back again, I get distracted while working.

"Would you like to order takeout?" Li Wei asked.Takeaway can be said to be the savior of lazy people, but Neon's takeaway is a little bit expensive, and there is no Meituan or cloud shopping. In many cases, the delivery fee will be more expensive than the food.

"Since it's a celebration... how about a sushi platter at Harunodo, and two more bottles of sake?" Kasumigaoka Shiyu asked, since she was the guest, the decision was in her hands, but even so, other considerations had to be made. people's opinion.

"It doesn't matter if it's wine, I don't care, but the very small one here is underage, and the amount of alcohol should not be that much. If you want juice or cow/milk, just order her." Li Wei pointed to the side. Eri Sawamura said.Because the petite/small Ying Lili looks like a junior high school student, if she is not wearing Toyonozaki's uniform, it is estimated that most people will regard her as a junior high school student.

Sawamura Yingri felt that her dignity was violated/violated, and even her master couldn't laugh at her figure like this.Eri Sawamura knew that her stature was indeed very short. Standing with people of the same grade, she always felt that she was a year or two younger, but this was just a slow growth. She felt that she would grow taller one day. Yes, she absolutely cannot agree with such a statement.

"It's so rude, even if the master said that, it's not right for me, I'm already a high school student!" Sawamura Eiri protested. "Don't treat me like a child!"

"But...if I see you, the owner of the tobacco and alcohol shop will refuse to sell it. And you are a minor. Even if you are a master, you are not much older than me?" Because the age of the studio is Kasumigaoka Shiyu 17 years old, Li Wei is 16 years old, and Sawamura Yingli is 16 years old.Li Wei is not much older than her. Although he has an absolute advantage in height, Li Wei is only a few months older than her in terms of age. It is really hateful to speak in such an old-fashioned tone.

But at this time, Kasumigaoka Shiyu has quietly moved to the trial of Sawamura Yingri, with her delicate hand poking her face lightly, and then pinching the slightly sad flower/bud, and finally in the She gave her a little pat on her ass.

"Wow! What are you doing?!" Startled by the sudden attack, Eri Sawamura quickly broke free from the shackles of Shiyu of Kasumigaoka, hid aside, and stared fiercely at Shiyu of Kasumigaoka.

The hands made a virtual grasping action, as if recalling the previous touch, Shiyu Kasumigaoka suddenly gave Li Wei a thumbs up. "After the test, the middle school level! The gospel of Lolicon!"

Li Wei suddenly realized that, as expected, the old driver is skilled, and the old driver who can write the welfare/benefits chapter without a serious word is really different, and Li Wei expresses that he is a little envious of this manual mask/cup measurement.

"What are you doing! Even if it's a girl, I will never forgive you!" Holding her washboard-like mouth, Sawamura Eili took a few steps back vigilantly. In her opinion, Kasumi Qiu Shiyu is completely a hooligan.

"It's just a physical proof that you're still a minor, you don't need to make a fuss. And they're all girls, what does it matter." Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu smiled.
