Kapitel 14: Chapter 7: New Game Unlocked!_1
Translator: 549690339
Three days had passed like flowing water.
Staring at the system interface, which highlighted the earnings for the third day: 3000.00 yuan.
Ke Jin dried out his silence, remaining still for a long time.
He couldn't do it, no matter how he thought about it.
He had tried very hard, but there were still players who either gave into their curiosity or who supported him purely, and in the end, they spent money on him.
He had broken even for three consecutive days.
The first task, unsurprisingly, had failed.
Faced with such an outcome, Ke Jin should have been sad and upset.
But he tapped on his bank account, which had never exceeded four digits before.
"You don't say, I've actually earned quite a bit." The quiet 7000 yuan lying in the bank account almost tempted Ke Jin to turn into a Vampire himself.
Slaving away at work for a month only earned him four to five thousand.
To earn 7000 so easily in just three days through deception?
Why bother with tasks? After all, the system would release new games each period. Maybe he should just go along with Blue Star's worldview.
Those high-quality games from his former world, each one introduced on Blue Star would be like a dimension-shattering force, sold at ten times the price and still eagerly sought after by many.
He could still make money, and given time, he could become a rich tycoon. No need to match wits with the players every day.
If he couldn't fight it, might as well enjoy it.
But...
"Why do I resist?" Ke Jin calmly pondered this question.
Deep inside, there was always a voice telling him that games shouldn't be like this by nature.
On Blue Star, everyone firmly believed in buying happiness with money.
But fundamentally, this idea is flawed.
What about those players who have no money?
Don't they deserve happiness too?
Just like eating requires money.
That's true.
But what about those who can't afford to eat?
Should they just starve to death?
Ke Jin in his former world was also poor and didn't have much money for in-game purchases.
He often downloaded cracked versions online.
Those who made these cracked versions didn't earn any profits from him.
Yet, they tirelessly worked overtime whenever a new game was released, to crack, translate, patch, and then share with everyone. They also reminded people to support the original versions if they could afford it later.
Even some game companies were aware that pirated copies of their games were widespread, but they turned a blind eye.
Without them, Ke Jin as a poor student wouldn't have been able to experience so many touching, interesting, fun, and unforgettable classic games.
Did these people not realize the importance of making money?
But they didn't just focus on earning money and lock away others' right to happiness.
Perhaps, it was because he too had drunk from the sweet well water laboriously dug by his predecessors.
Therefore, deep inside, he felt a profound resistance to the unreasonable charges for this well water.
Now, you want me to join the ranks of selling this well water, unable to resist so should just become a Vampire like them?
Sorry.
This time, I choose to refuse!
After deeply massaging his face, Ke Jin smiled with relief.
He had a dream.
He wanted every player on Blue Star to experience the wondrous symphonies of Ninth Art from his previous life!
Even though the entire environment of Blue Star was pretty bad.
But.
Struggling against the gods brings endless joy, right?
And to look on the bright side, maybe he could get the hang of the players in the next game?
Once freed from system restrictions, he could work on any game he wanted, set any price he liked!
I want to stand tall and earn money with integrity!
Just as Ke Jin had finished severing his inner Vampire self in his mind.
The system alert resounded fiercely in his mind.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations on completing the A task for 'Origin of Species'!]
[Task Requirement: Achieve 1000 downloads and gameplay experiences within three days.]
[Your Progress: 3497/1000]
[Reward Received: Random C-grade Game Loot Box*1, System Experience +100]
[Additional: Due to your failure in Task B, you are not eligible for additional rewards.]
...
Since Ke Jin had already prepared himself mentally, the rewards distributed by the system were not that hard to accept.
A new game represents new hope.
With a thought, he summoned the system.
The initial system interface was so simple it had nothing but a brief description of the ultimate task.
After completing the task this time, a level panel was added to the system.
At this moment, the level interface displayed: 100/100
Beside it, highlighted subtitles prompted, [Would you like to upgrade the system?]
"Oh? I can upgrade?"
Without hesitation, he clicked the upgrade button.
Soon, accompanied by a burst of brilliant light,
The whole system interface was completely transformed.
On the panel, besides the original level and transaction recorder, there was now something new.
[Level: LV2]
[Kryptonite Ratio: 0/10000]
[Transactions: 0]
[EXP Needed for Next Level: 500]
...
Ke Jin carefully read the explanation of the Kryptonite Ratio and his eyes lit up.
This thing was actually the same as the system's previous zero Kryptonite.
Only now, with the system upgraded, the requirements had relaxed.
Before, players had to maintain zero recharges to meet the conditions of the ultimate task.
But now, as long as the player's transaction flow does not exceed ten thousand yuan, it's considered a success!
"There's a margin for error now," Ke Jin smacked his lips, as if he saw hope.
As for the transactions column, it should reset to zero after every round of tasks, used to tally the flow for the next set of tasks.
Understanding the upgraded functions, Ke Jin's gaze moved to the random game loot box lying in the item storage.
Its exquisite silver packaging was densely printed with a complete collection of character images from countless games of a previous life.
"Open." He thought to himself.
On the system interface, the loot box hovered in the air, and after a violent shake, it emitted a soft blue glow.
[Congratulations! You have obtained the side-scrolling game - I wanna Collection Edition (C-grade)]
[Companion Task is Being Issued!]
[Task A: Please achieve 10,000 popularity within seven days of the game's launch!]
[Task B: Under the condition of completing Task A, the game's sales transactions must be below ten thousand yuan within seven days!]
[Reward for Task A: Receive a Random Shiny Silver-grade Game Loot Box (may contain C-, C, C+ grade finished games, with an extremely low chance to contain a B-grade game plan), System Experience +500 EXP!]
[Reward for Task B: Unlock the Ultimate Reward!]
...
"I wanna?" Ke Jin's expression gradually changed from clueless to dark and scheming.
There's a catch!
Bros, there's a catch to this game!
Its core selling point is torturing players.
In his past life, Ke Jin had been tormented to death and back by this game.
He was well aware of how perverse the game was.
Once it reached insane levels, the fury of a player on the brink of madness could rival that of the Illusion God from ancient times, Germany boy.
In this world, while it's not strictly accurate to say money buys happiness, it holds true in the eyes of most Blue Star citizens.
But, players never enjoyed spending money just to suffer, did they?
Even if there were some in his previous life, pressured Blue Star citizens of this life wouldn't be gluttons for punishment, right?
Moreover, there was the bonus of a low spend of ten thousand yuan to cushion the fall.
"This is solid, definitely solid," Ke Jin beamed.
Heh, system, I'm standing right before you, do I look anything like I used to?
