Task Complete

After the news broke, a whole host of media outlets reported on it online.

But within gaming circles, compared to the record itself, developers were more interested in the performance of The Stanley Parable.

If its previous numbers had looked like it was about to soar, then after a round of promotion, it truly took off.

Especially as the game's content was gradually uncovered, not only players and the media, but even developers from the Three Factories could not help but feel astonished.

A genius-level figure, with revolutionary design concepts.

As things developed, many players even began recommending the game to their friends and family on their own.

Because this game was simply too profound.

Every ending had its own meaning and made people reflect deeply.

For example, in the Normal Ending, Stanley followed the Narrator's instructions all the way and finally gained freedom.

But in the end, the player lost their freedom.

And in the Madness Ending, Stanley encountered the most terrifying thing imaginable.

It was a punishment, punishment for the player defying the Narrator's instructions.

Although the game's many endings and excellent plot dialogue attracted players,

what truly made The Stanley Parable soar was not those things.

It was the meaning behind those endings.

No matter how people tried to escape fate, they ultimately could only lose this game.

In The Stanley Parable, the Freedom Ending, where Stanley seemed to constantly follow the Narrator, appeared to be the best one.

Stanley did not need to obey anyone. Every action he took was entirely under his own control.

But the moment the Narrator finished saying that, he immediately added, "Then this bastard stepped out the door."

Seen this way, even after gaining freedom, Stanley would still live beneath the Narrator's shadow.

After experiencing it, countless players came away with different feelings.

And those feelings, reflections, and explorations made the game unforgettable.

While developers within gaming circles continued exploring The Stanley Parable,

Wang Chuan was far more relaxed.

Once The Stanley Parable surpassed ten thousand paying players and claimed the top spot on the new game rankings,

he immediately submitted an application to the Official Game Platform.

Well, an application to become an official Game Producer.

Perhaps it was because of the incredible results achieved by The Stanley Parable, or perhaps because he had broken the fastest record.

In any case, less than half an hour after submitting it, he received approval.

Within the Pangu Editor, he found the game forum and the official Weibo page.

Both accounts now had a verified badge after his name.

The information following it read: Game Producer of The Stanley Parable.

And after receiving the official response, the Side Quest on the system was successfully completed.

"Ding! Congratulations, Master, on becoming an official Game Producer. You have received the mission reward: five to ten Big Wheel chances."

"Ding! Random draw in progress. Please wait."

"Ding! Congratulations, Master. Your luck has exploded. You have received ten Big Wheel chances."

Sitting in his chair, Wang Chuan saw the panel visible only to him change for the first time.

His Fan Points, which had originally been at zero, rose directly to more than thirty-seven thousand.

However, Wang Chuan had long understood where those Fan Points came from.

After people experienced the games he made, the joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, and all sorts of emotions they produced

would be converted into Fan Points and stored in the system panel.

Naturally, different emotions yielded different amounts of Fan Points.

And for now, the purpose of Fan Points seemed to be drawing prizes from the Big Wheel.

Perhaps new functions would appear in the future.

Now that there was nothing else to do, how about a pull?

Ahem. There was no dirty joke here.

Looking at the ten chances on the panel, Wang Chuan could not resist and went straight for a Ten-Pull.

After being tempered by all sorts of games, he had long since reached a conclusion: Ten-Pulls were the only way to get good stuff.

Single Pulls only brought tears of regret.

Once the Ten-Pull began,

the Big Wheel started spinning continuously, blooming with flashes of light.

Then, system notifications rang out one after another.

"Ding! Congratulations, Master. You have obtained an Art Skill Book: Attribute +1."

"Ding! Congratulations, Master. You have obtained a Numerical Skill Book: Attribute +1."

"Ding! Congratulations, Master. You have obtained one Memory Searcher."

Once the Ten-Pull was over, Wang Chuan took stock of his rewards.

He had obtained two Memory Searchers in total, along with eight different Skill Books.

Art, music, numerical values, and more—he had one of each.

Without hesitation, he kept the Memory Searchers and used everything else.

There was no point saving them. He might as well use them to improve his abilities.

The eight different Skill Books suddenly transformed into specks of light. After circling around him once, they all surged into Wang Chuan's body.

It seemed like I've improved quite a bit at making games again.

After feeling things out, Wang Chuan discovered that his knowledge of music, art, numerical values, and other areas had become far richer.

But I still have over thirty-seven thousand Fan Points left. That's enough for three more Big Wheel draws. Should I save them?

Wang Chuan hesitated, but then looked at his Fan Points, which were still steadily rising.

Forget it. I'll just draw them and see whether Single Pulls can produce a miracle.

They would keep increasing anyway, and there was no use in saving them.

He might as well spend them.

With that in mind, Wang Chuan readily spent thirty thousand Fan Points.

"Ding! Congratulations, Master. You have obtained one Memory Searcher."

"Ding! Congratulations, Master. You have obtained a Music Skill Book: Attribute +1."

"Ding! Congratulations, Master. You have obtained a Directing Skill Book: Attribute +1."

???

Seeing the Skill Books he had drawn, Wang Chuan was completely baffled.

What was this supposed to be?

Looking at the Directing Skill Book he had obtained last, he was a little stunned.

A Directing Skill Book? Was this trying to make him shoot movies and become a director?

That was not even his field!

But after being stunned for a moment, Wang Chuan came to his senses.

After all, games and movies had quite a lot in common in some ways.

A director made movies, using elements such as actors, camera work, visuals, music, and scripts to construct a cinematic world.

A Game Producer did the same, using elements such as art, music, level design, and plot to construct a game world.

One immersed audiences in movies, while the other drew players into games.

They had much the same underlying principle.

Speaking of that, Wang Chuan remembered Blizzard before his transmigration.

Weren't they jokingly called "Blizzard Studios/Blizzard Film Studio" by players because their CG was even better than movies?

He could learn from Blizzard too!

A producer who did not want to make good movies was not a good director~~~
