I! Game Designer! Ultimate Tormentor Section 13

"Old Zhang, Old Second, you two go into Zhiyou's client and find some songs. I need pure electronic music without vocals, with a distinct rhythm and a strong sense of groove."

Buying music copyrights is too expensive, and Wu Wei couldn't afford it right now.

"Got it."

"Understood."

The two agreed.

"Then what about me?"

Lu Bian asked.

"You have a very important task,"

Wu Wei said mysteriously, patting Old Third on the shoulder and pulling him aside.

The two whispered a few words, and then Old Third burst into laughter, filled with ambition!

"You really need to find me for this! I wouldn't dare to say much about other things, but for this matter!"

"I am willing to offer my utmost service to Boss Wu!"

On the side, Old Zhang and Liu He were full of questions:

"What's going on, so secretive?"

Lu Bian's expression was full of teasing:

"It's not that our Boss Wu wants to... Mmph!"

Before he could finish, Wu Wei clamped his hand over Lu Bian's mouth.

As he dragged Old Third out of the dorm, he gave an awkward smile back to the two inside:

"It's nothing, it's nothing, you guys get back to work, bye!"

(Support! Votes! Flowers! I bow to you, my esteemed readers!)

"You're such a little brat!"

After they were outside, Wu Wei knocked Lu Bian on the head!

"I pulled you aside specifically to keep it from Old Zhang. If he finds out about this, he'll start making snide remarks again!"

"Old Second is also a big mouth. If he knows something, the whole school will know by tomorrow!"

"But it's not like it's anything shameful,"

Old Third said, rubbing his head, a little wronged.

"A beautiful woman is a prize for a gentleman."

"If you keep talking, I'll dunk you into the basketball hoop and make LeBron James shout 'Good shot!'"

Wu Wei warned Old Third fiercely.

"Hehehe, I won't say anymore, I won't say anymore. Heaven knows, earth knows, you know, I know, Shen Yunshi knows, my girlfriend knows, the people in the library know..."

The more Lu Bian rambled, the more Wu Wei felt something was off.

It felt like the whole world knew, except for the two unfortunate brothers in the dorm?

That's right, Wu Wei was going to talk to the campus belle, Shen Yunshi, through Lu Bian's connection.

It wasn't purely to pick up girls.

Wu Wei had a serious purpose.

Everyone at Binhai University knew that Shen Yunshi was not only beautiful and lovely but also incredibly talented.

As the most gifted talent in the Art Department, Shen Yunshi's illustration skills were renowned throughout Binhai University.

Her drawing skills were exquisite!

Even the Provincial Audio-Visual Publishing House had commissioned her work before.

Wu Wei's reason for seeking out Shen Yunshi this time was to have her help him draw character illustrations.

And Old Third's current girlfriend happened to be Shen Yunshi's best friend.

So, this matter required Old Third to act as a go-between.

As everyone knows, the game "Dance of Ice and Fire" is, in simple terms, about tapping out different variations of a melody on the keyboard to complete the entire song.

It's very simple and very engaging.

However, it's not without its drawbacks.

The main one is that it can become a bit monotonous if played for too long.

And most importantly, the game's objectives aren't very clear.

Beyond the sense of accomplishment after clearing a level, there's no further sense of reward.

Wu Wei wanted to make a few small changes.

He planned to commission Shen Yunshi for some exquisite illustrations.

In the game, every time a player cleared a rhythm block, that block would turn into a piece of the illustration puzzle.

Once players completed an entire song, they would be able to see the full background art for that song.

Furthermore, this background illustration could be downloaded locally and used as a desktop wallpaper.

This way, the game could provide players with a substantial sense of accomplishment!

Doesn't that sound simple enough?

But when combined with the game's notoriously hellish difficulty, everything would become much more interesting!

Just think about it, who wouldn't want to show off a cool illustration to their friends, bragging that they'd beaten a rhythm game with hellish difficulty?

At that point, the illustration would be more than just a picture.

It would be imbued with new meaning!

It would be a badge!

A symbol of honor!

The sweat from countless days and nights of effort!

Proof of burning the midnight oil day after day!

And even a reflection of a player's superb gaming skill!

Wu Wei understood players' collector instincts all too well!

Do you know how many players would grind for a month for an Onmyoji skin?

Do you know how many players would spend a fortune for a Dragon Sniper skin?

Do you know how many console users would replay a game over and over just to get a platinum trophy?

Never underestimate players' collector instincts!

Even just a sticker or a pattern could drive players crazy!

Add to that the psychological drive of scarcity making things more valuable.

Who knows how many keyboards players would break trying to get the most exquisite final illustration!

Just thinking about it was thrilling.

Wu Wei flashed a terrifying smile.

Damn, if I get rich, I'm definitely opening a keyboard factory. Vertical integration, wouldn't that be beautiful?

While he was contemplating, he noticed Old Third suddenly stop.

Wu Wei looked up and saw they had arrived at the library.

Old Third carefully turned around and adjusted Wu Wei's collar:

"You need to look sharp when meeting your goddess. Look, your collar is still tucked in."

Wu Wei frowned and pouted:

"You saying that makes us look so gay."

"Bro, I'm just trying to help you tidy up your appearance!"

Old Third exclaimed in surprise.
