040 Cuteness is justice!

Soon, Chen Chen came out of the discussion room with his two followers, and saw Ye Xiao who had already prepared and was about to enter.

Although he failed to attract investment, Chen Chen's face did not show any frustration.

One of the followers said with frustration: "Should we lower our requirements? 1 million US dollars is too risky for those companies. We have visited so many investment companies, but none of them believed in us.

"They all seemed quite impressed just now. If the funding was set lower, like 10 or 20 million US dollars, maybe it would work."

"No, for our team, it would be a blessing to get a few million. A few million is enough for us to stay in the basement and develop games for 10 years."

The two followers started talking to each other.

Chen Chen said seriously, "How can that be possible? If I can't achieve a profit of 1 billion within a year, why would I continue to make games? If I just want to make a few million, I can just write a few books and a few songs. Why bother with all this?"

Ye Xiao stood behind him for a while with her arms folded, thinking to herself, what a fellow, he is so arrogant. However, as a child of destiny, if he was not so arrogant, Ye Xiao would look down on him.

However, Ye Xiao did not want to miss the opportunity to taunt the enemy. She showed her signature female devil smile on her face, picked up the prepared materials with her other hand and hit the opponent hard.

Ye Xiao didn't want to have any physical contact with the man in front of her, so she could only use this method to attract his attention.

"Hey!"

At this moment, Chen Chen happened to turn around and was hit on the chest by a thick stack of information. His eyes moved downwards and he saw Ye Xiao with a teasing look on her face.

Ye Xiao smiled and said, "Uncle Trash, you were so confident before you came into the discussion room, why are you running out in disgrace now? Could it be that the project you are so confident in cannot even get angel round investment?"

"It's you, little friend~ And this lady, I don't know what to call her yet?"

When Chen Chen saw that it was Ye Xiao and Su Ruoxue who followed Ye Xiao, his face immediately changed into a smile again. He did not seem to be angry at all because of Ye Xiao's words. Instead, the two followers behind him were very angry with Ye Xiao.

This smile is so fake!

Ye Xiao couldn't help but complain in her heart.

After looking Chen Chen up and down, Ye Xiao suddenly discovered that the hearty smile on his handsome face seemed to be a mask he had deliberately cultivated. In his daily life, he had a superior and disgusting expression.

He was a bit like herself, which made Ye Xiao feel like she deserved a beating.

Once again, she felt that she really hated the man in front of her.

But to be honest, if he wears this mask and runs to the university campus with that smile on his face, he will definitely charm a lot of innocent girls.

"Uncle Trash, I advise you not to go after Sister Lu. Try your luck somewhere else. Maybe someone will throw a few million at you just to play with you. As for Sister Lu, do you think a piece of trash like you is worthy of her?"

"you..."

Chen Chen's followers couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to rush forward with clenched fists, but were stopped by Chen Chen.

"Next person!"

At this time, a summons was heard in the discussion room.

Ye Xiao no longer bothered with Chen Chen, took Su Ruoxue's hand, and walked straight into the discussion room.

After Ye Xiao's figure completely disappeared, suddenly, a petite arm stretched out from the discussion room and made a sarcastic gesture that is used all over the world. Ye Xiao raised her middle finger.

"Brother Chen! Look at her, look at her!"

One of the followers was so angry that his face turned red and he became incoherent.

However, Chen Chen raised his lips and said, "It's quite interesting. Let's wait and see who will win!"

"Hello everyone, hello~"

After despising Chen Chen, Ye Xiao turned around and greeted everyone in the discussion room.

Originally, Su Ruoxue shouldn't have come in with Ye Xiao, but there was an annoying guy outside, and Ye Xiao was not at ease leaving Su Ruoxue alone outside.

Lu Shiqing crossed her arms and pretended not to know Ye Xiao and Su Ruoxue, "You two are the entrepreneurial team?"

"Yes, hello Sister Lu, my name is Ye Xiao." Ye Xiao winked at Lu Shiqing.

But Lu Shiqing simply ignored it.

Ye Xiao generously pulled out a chair, jumped on it and sat down, swinging her shoes around, and distributed the information in her hand to the people in front of her one by one.

Lu Shiqing's fingers, painted with exquisite nail polish, played with a thin fountain pen. She lowered her head to look at the materials in her hand and asked step by step, "Briefly introduce your project."

"We are a game company, and our first project is to make a multi-platform one-time purchase game."

Lu Shiqing nodded and asked directly, "Buyout games are an industry that is almost sunset. What are your characteristics? How do you attract players?"

"Characteristics, Sister Lu, how do you know my characteristics?" After Ye Xiao finished speaking, Lu Shiqing was obviously stunned for a moment.

"Hey, I'm just here to lighten the atmosphere for all the uncles here. Our specialty is that we are cute and adorable~ Cuteness is justice!"

Lu Shiqing rolled her eyes at Ye Xiao. Others didn't hear the dirty joke he just told, but she did.

Although she didn't care, no one had ever dared to make such a joke in front of her before, so she complained about Ye Xiao in her heart.

If it were someone else, she would definitely criticize him harshly in person until he couldn't even stand up straight.

However, facing Ye Xiao's words, it seemed that the other party knew how to hurt others and provoke others' anger better than her.

Lu Shiqing couldn't help but recall the scene in the morning when she was forced into a corner by such a little girl. A hint of annoyance flashed between her eyebrows and her cheeks began to turn slightly red.

Ye Xiao is really unique. She is a little loli who looks cute and adorable, but unexpectedly appears to be very astringent.

The strange thing is that she didn't feel disgusted by Ye Xiao's behavior.

"Very cute? Very adorable? A gaming company describing itself like this? I've never heard of it."

Lu Shiqing crossed her arms and raised her long legs.

The current market environment in this world tends to favor greasy senior sister-type role-playing games. Whether it is a stand-alone game or an online game, almost all of them sell character portraits, and they are all skirting the line.

As for games with more complex gameplay, such as RTS and MOBA, which have complex operations and high entry barriers, they do exist.

It's just that the production process is complicated and the cycle is long, and in the end the revenue is not as much as the income brought by a few dull illustrations. This has completely changed the gaming industry in this world.

This world is truly a real entertainment desert.

For game companies, as long as they can make a profit, it doesn’t matter if what they make is actually garbage. As long as someone is willing to pay for it, they are successful.

Using cuteness and adorableness as selling points in the market is very novel, but it is also very uncertain and risky.

It is possible that the company may be extremely unadaptable to the market environment and fail.

It is also possible that long-term homogeneous works lead to aesthetic fatigue, and something different appears in the market and becomes popular overnight.

According to her experience, out of ten people in the gaming industry who want to open up new areas, nine are unreliable, and the other one is probably already sitting on the rooftop and getting some fresh air.

The Ye Xiao in front of him didn't look reliable at all. She was directly contrary to the public aesthetic that had already become somewhat distorted as a result of the evolution of most games in the current market environment over the past decade.

041 Not approved!

"Explain it?"

"The aesthetics of game graphics on the market are currently highly homogenized. Over time, everyone has become aesthetically fatigued. Almost everyone is competing to see who can make the characters and portraits look more awkward under the watchful eyes of the reviewers. Under such circumstances, we should find another way." Ye Xiao said.

She is not against the awkward game characters in this world, but she thinks that games should not only use awkward characters to attract people but lack the core. Pure awkwardness will not last long.

"I understand the logic, but the previous game that said the same thing as you has been submerged under the tide of the times." A sarcastic smile appeared on Lu Shiqing's lips.

There is a saying that goes, cuteness is worthless in the face of sexiness.

Anyone who works in the industry knows that the current market environment is very distorted, but why is no one trying to change it? Do they not want to? Of course not.

"The main users of SeSe are adult males, but we target people of all ages. The cute things in our products are not characters, but little elves." Ye Xiao said with a smile on her face.

"For details, you can look at the information in your hand!"

"This is a one-time purchase game with a free-world setting, allowing players to explore freely in the game. They can challenge bosses, build their own strongholds, or satisfy their personal collecting habits and cultivate their own perfect Paloo. In the future, we plan to launch new DLC expansion content, add player Paloo battles, and increase the size of the game."

Hearing this, the male consultant sitting next to him couldn't help it. He turned around and asked Lu Shiqing for her opinion. After getting her consent, he asked Ye Xiao bluntly, "Just like what Mr. Lu said just now, buyout games are almost a sunset industry. The gameplay of catching Palu with the Palu Ball is indeed very novel, but isn't your thing just a stitched monster?"

No matter from which perspective, according to the documents provided by Ye Xiao, this game definitely stitches together a lot of gameplay in the history of games.

"I don't deny that our project is too stitched together, but isn't it enough that the game is fun? Players' motivation for playing should be love! Isn't this also the essence of those games that can make money just by selling illustrations and portraits, relying on players' love for the characters!"

Ye Xiao's voice couldn't help but rise a few notches.

“It is the duty of the game producer to design each elf to be extremely cute and handsome! The novel game mode creates topics, and coupled with the players’ ‘love’ for the cute Paloos, players will naturally choose to pay.”

The consultant rubbed his head with his hand and asked again: "I don't deny your argument of paying for love, but it's just a stand-alone buyout game. How many people are there in your team? In what period can you guarantee the completeness of the game? You said that creating topics is also fine, everyone understands, but how can you ensure that the topicality of the game breaks through the circle?"

Breaking the circle effect, like viral transmission, is easier said than done.

"I've already thought about this."

Ye Xiao said this and took out her cell phone.

There is a video in the phone.

Ye Xiao directly clicked on the video to play. The video was not long, only a few minutes. It was the Palu Bible that Ye Xiao begged for free from Sister Tongzi!

Several consultants, including Lu Shiqing, felt a blackout after watching the video.

The 'Palu' in the video is indeed as Ye Xiao said, cute and adorable, but the little girl in front of her is not very old and seems to be qualified to be hung on a street lamp.

If she succeeds, it is hard to believe what a storm of blood and gore it will cause in the industry.

"Here, this is our demo. It only took us a month to make this. Take a look."

Ye Xiao just made up a time. Of course, this simplified version of the fantasy beast Palu was also something Ye Xiao got for free from Sister Tongzi, and she had to return it afterwards.

Of course, Ye Xiao believed that with Sister Tongzi's level, it would not be easy for her to acquire the ability to make games.

Then hire more employees.

It's not difficult to make up for the lie later.

The consultant dragged the laptop over. As a professional consultant in gaming, he naturally got the hang of the game demo quickly. After just a few simple operations, his eyes widened.

"This... this was made by two people in a month?" The demo that Ye Xiao handed to him was infinitely close to a completed game.

Not only are the characters, actions, and maps very detailed, but there are also light and shadow, day and night, weapons, and most importantly, a capture system for capturing Palu.

But naturally, the original map bug of the phantom beast Palu was also inherited because it was directly exchanged.

He can play with this demo alone for a while.

Lu Shiqing asked from the side: "How is it?"

"It's... OK, although I don't know what the finished product will look like."

As he was talking, the consultant had already caught several Pokemon. This method of catching Pokemon didn't seem very good at first, but the moment when he threw the ball and failed was really a bit intimidating.

"I asked about the degree of completion?" Lu Shiqing emphasized.

"Oh, the degree of completion is very high. At least it proves that they have a certain level of technical ability."

The consultant reluctantly let go of the keyboard and mouse.

Ye Xiao didn't care about his attitude and said with a smile: "You are right, our technical level is very strong, so there is no need to worry too much about the production cycle of the game."

Lu Shiqing stared at Ye Xiao with her beautiful eyes and said, "Let me ask you a few questions."

"please say."

Lu Shiqing asked, "You said that your main monetization point is cute characters, but I noticed that the art style of your demo is more towards cute creatures. There aren't many people in China who like this group. Although your video just now is very interesting, are you sure it will break through in the end?"

"First of all, let me make one thing clear," Ye Xiao suddenly stood up, "I don't deny that se is the primary productive force."

“Modern society is a pluralistic society. In other words, it is a world without consensus. Any point of view will be refuted by the majority of people, but SeSe will not.

"SeSe can bring people together. Nothing can arouse people's desire to protect, conquer, and possess more than cute girls and boys. The same is true for SeSe's elves!"

These words coming from the mouth of Ye Xiao, a little loli with a cute appearance, make people feel an indescribable sense of disobedience.

Ye Xiao took out the fantasy beast that she had carefully prepared, the leader of Parushe, the Swift Weasel!

It is obviously an extremely cute elf, but its expression and demeanor appear very lifelike, and there is really a strange and astringent feeling.

"Puff." Lu Shiqing suddenly laughed, and her body shook with laughter.

It was hard for her to imagine that anyone would have such strange thoughts about these cute-looking elves.

"Okay, last question, how much investment do you want to get?"

"Fifty million! Chinese yuan!" Ye Xiao said, staring at everyone in front of her.
