How Come I Haven't Played This Game?

Crystals are facing a very serious problem.

After returning to Earth from the moon, she spent her time eating, drinking, and having fun, but she didn't have much money.

The main reason is that the Inhumans are isolated from humans, so naturally they don't have much currency for her.

Then she discovered that she had run out of money after playing for such a short time!

My wallet is empty.

Driven by hunger, she nearly punched the ATM on the street.

Fortunately, she met a good friend during this time.

The other party was a hacker on the internet, homeless, mainly living in her car, and her name was Skye.

Crystal was surprised to discover that the other party actually possessed Inhumans genes, but had not yet come into contact with the Terrigen Mist.

So she immediately forgot about her original task.

"Let's Awakening Skye first, then we can talk about other things."

Crystal muttered to herself, then asked, "Skye, do you know about Mutants?"

"Certainly."

Skye nodded and said, "Many people don't know about them anymore, but I can find this information online. If something existed, it will leave a trace."

"So... would you like to have a special ability?"

Crystal asked while eating the sandwich Skye had made.

Skye wasn't poor; it was just that because of the nature of her work, she had to keep moving to avoid being caught.

Therefore, making offerings to a Crystal is not a big problem.

The two squeezed onto the bed in the RV, and Skye, sitting cross-legged, replied, "Of course I want to, wouldn't that be so cool?"

She is different from ordinary girls.

They are not afraid of special abilities; on the contrary, they crave to possess them.

Of course, it could also be a case of loving dragons but fearing them in reality; in any case, one might yearn for them because they don't have them, but regret it if they actually had them.

But Crystal ignored all that, and simply smiled mysteriously, "That's good."

She planned to find time to tell her sister Medusa the good news.

But as soon as she turned her head, she saw Skye engaged in a tense battle on the computer screen.

A white-haired girl dressed in a black court dress is battling a monster in high-heeled boots.

Skye, engrossed in playing the game, held the controller while casually offering a few perfunctory replies.

Crystal wasn't angry, because she was immediately drawn to the game as well.

She already enjoyed playing games, and seeing that the game featured a female protagonist instantly made her feel completely immersed.

Others can't understand this sense of immersion; she truly has superpowers.

"What game is this? I've never played it before?"

Crystal's eyes widened.

She's been spending all her money on games lately, buying countless secondhand copies of various games.

There are games she hasn't played before?

Unforgivable!

"NieR: Automata, because it's newly released."

Skye said, "I saw some really good reviews online, so I decided to give it a try."

"The music is really good."

While NieR may have had his flaws in other areas, his music is undeniably impeccable.

It is precisely because of the excellent background music that the players are fully immersed in the game, as if they have really entered a world full of ruins, where the earth is on the verge of destruction.

In other aspects, it's not actually that perfect.

But there's no doubt that its IP is incredibly popular.

It's less about the NieR series being popular and more about 2B being incredibly popular.

Because later on, whenever a game could collaborate... who wouldn't want to collaborate with 2B?

For example, in the game "Naraka: Bladepoint" that Li Chen played in his previous life, Ning Hongye collaborated with 2B to create an outfit. However, since Li Chen's favorite character was Gu Qinghan, he used A2 the most.

Li Chen has a peculiar habit when playing games: he only likes to play female characters, and they must have good character models.

"I see."

Crystal stared intently at the screen. The NieR series was quite complex to play, with many mini-games.

This really attracted her; she's a pro at game controls!

Skye noticed her glued to the screen and chuckled, "Want to try it out?"

"OK!"

Crystal coughed twice. "You play first."

Skye twisted her neck. "I'm a little tired."

"Then I won't be polite!"

Crystal took the handle and began to familiarize herself with its operation.

"Holy crap, it can even rip clothes off!"

She quickly discovered the hidden mechanism that Skye had missed.

That is, once 2B self-destructs, she will be in a state of low health, and in this state, her skirt will 'explode', leaving her only in her bodysuit.

There's no doubt that PlatinumGames understands gamers.

They know what players want, and they give them that.

Unlike some games, which obviously know what players want but still enjoy being annoying and going against them.

For example, they might turn the female protagonist into an ugly middle-aged Big Mom, even though the face model they hired is very beautiful, they still want to make her ugly in the game.

Crystal quickly became engrossed in the story and forgot all about Skye.

As for the original task, it has long been forgotten.

It's not her fault; it's just that Earth's games are too addictive.

Li Chen did not immediately have Gwen Stacy come to work.

Instead, he took them to have a good two days in Los Angeles, and then started dealing with Mary Jane's matter.

There are many unions in America, and the one associated with Mary Jane is the Screen Actors Guild.

However, for Mary Jane, joining would be pointless and might even become a hindrance.

Li Chen skipped over that, and only arranged an agent for her.

With the rise of Starlight Pictures, many agents naturally came to curry favor with Li Chen.

For Hollywood, agents are like mosquitoes, clinging to Hollywood and sucking its blood.

However, this is not entirely objective, because agents are indeed useful.

For example, they help actors find film contracts and also handle public relations for celebrities.

The 1990s were perhaps the most active period for these agents, and also the time when they were at their most energetic.

At the time, CAA, under the leadership of Michael Ovitz, launched something called a package service.

The so-called "package service" means that everyone in a production crew, from ordinary employees to key figures in various departments, is a member of CAA. They directly package the services together, attempting to provide the production crew with a one-stop service.

However, it's clear that neither the director nor the producer would like this model.

How frustrating must a director feel if he doesn't have a single one of his own people on the crew?

However, Hollywood had no choice at that time, so as times changed, the package deal model was quickly abandoned, and CAA was no longer what it used to be.

But even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse; CAA remains one of the largest brokerage firms.

However, Li Chen has a specific collaborator.

A female agent named Renee founded her own agency, which is still relatively small.

The reason he got to know her was because she volunteered herself and wanted to show her loyalty to Li Chen.

For Renee, being able to meet a big shot like Li Chen is the greatest luck of her life.

Therefore, she even wanted to become one of Li Chen's own people.

However, she was already in her thirties and a white woman, so Li Chen politely declined her offer, but gave her a chance.
