Started as a comics editor

Chapter 10 Beautiful Girl Game

In fact, Tang Yao doesn’t have many choices at the moment.

Although there seemed to be many opportunities to make money, considering her current situation, most of them were not very reliable...

The main reason is that she doesn't have the confidence to take risks, and is limited by her knowledge from her previous life and the deviations in the parallel world, so there are too many variables.

She personally feels that there are not many reliable directions. The conservative way is to draw serials and become a cartoonist, while the adventurous way is to try mobile games.

If she were alone, she wouldn't mind being conservative and drawing comics for two years first.

But she is not alone. The conservative approach is too slow. Even if she quits her job immediately, gets a novice award, and then prepares for serialization immediately, trying to compress the early docking and preparation work and get through the subsequent ten chapters of life and death, if she really wants to get considerable money, she will probably have to wait until the single volume starts selling.

By that time, Xun would probably have graduated.

It would be impossible for her to work during this period, and the two sisters would have a hard time relying on their savings alone.

In addition, by the time she completes the above process, the mobile Internet will also begin to explode.

Therefore, Tang Yao prefers the risky path - to make a mobile game before most people react, use the first-mover advantage, and make a lot of money as quickly as possible.

In this way, all problems were solved. Regardless of whether he liked it or not, this was the easiest way he could think of to make quick money... She really needed money.

In fact, after accepting her identity, Tang Yao began to think about the possibilities, otherwise she would not have a deep understanding of the technological development of this world.

This was why she valued the year-end bonus so much before. With an extra deposit, she would have more confidence to take risks.

It's just that the plan can't keep up with the changes.

She heard about the cloud server from Kang Ming... Such opportunities are rare, because once the cloud service is really on track, it will not be so easy to rent computing power.

Because cloud services are on track, it means that Changli Group, which invested in research and development, will give priority to iterative use by its internal departments.

Want to rent by then?
Wait till there is a surplus!
The cloud has been built and is still in the testing phase. For some reason, the Changli Group, which paid for it, is unwilling to be the guinea pigs and has to rely on providing services to the outside world for testing. This can be said to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

This means that if Tang Yao really wants to make a mobile game, she won’t have to worry about setting up offline servers. Moreover, considering that Kang Ming’s crappy battle platform can rent servers, the price is estimated to be very affordable. With an affordable price and without the cost of offline servers...are the bugs and loopholes in the early stages of cloud services still a problem?
Not a problem at all.

This is also the reason why Tang Yao suddenly told Li Xue today that she wanted to start a business.

of course.

Although the idea is good, there are still many problems in its actual implementation.

For example...it's quite difficult to convince others that mobile games can make money.

The reason why Tang Yao thought this way and believed that mobile games could make money was mainly due to her experience in her previous life. However, for the natives of this world, it was indeed difficult to suddenly let them accept that mobile games could make a lot of money.

Just like Miss Li in front of me.

After all, there are only a few true pioneers, and considering those who died halfway, there are even fewer.

In fact, even in Tang Yao’s previous life, most people who made money using mobile devices were people with a keen sense of smell and who followed the trend and happened to choose to enter the market during the bonus period.

Although this is very, very powerful...

"Knew it……"

"As expected."

Li Xue looked at Tang Yao, who was lost in thought and suddenly sighed, and gently grabbed her arm and shook it.

She was a little worried that Tang Yao was getting too obsessed with something.

After all, she also knew that Tang Yao was really short of money.

But no matter how short of money you are, you can't just do whatever you want.

"Ms. Li Xue, I'm fine...but don't you realize it?"

Tang Yao took out her phone from her pocket and gently waved it in front of Li Xue. Although her phone was not the latest model, except for the screen-to-body ratio, it was already a complete smartphone. "Currently, the performance of mobile phones is getting better and better, and it is foreseeable that it will be even better in the future. Isn't it a bit too extravagant to just use it for making calls and running social apps?"
And most importantly, everyone has a mobile phone. Unlike a PC, a mobile phone can be taken out anytime and anywhere, on the way to work, before bed, or occasionally taking a break... If we can provide users with some applications that can help them kill these fragmented time, don’t you think the potential is huge? "

"..."

Li Xue frowned slightly upon hearing this, then said, "Are you saying that mobile will rise? I remember someone told me something similar, that mobile will be the future, but as for games... isn't that a bit too much of a leap? After all, PCs are so big."

Speaking of which.

The lady raised her arms, making a "that big" gesture, then pointed at Tang Yao's phone. "If a phone is so small and can only run small games, players won't want to open it again after playing it once. In this case, only a few people can make money..."

"Who said we should make a mini-game that can only be opened once?"

Tang Yao smiled and said, "Isn't it possible to make online games mobile?"

Li Xue subconsciously denied it: "No way? The scale of an online game..."

Tang Yao patted Li Xue's shoulder and interrupted, "Then make a game specifically for mobile phones, for example... a beautiful girl card drawing game."

Li Xue was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously asked, "...Is it a game that uses you as the selling point?" "...No! How could it use me as the selling point?"

Tang Yao was startled, then her face blushed slightly as she explained, "The beautiful girl game I'm talking about is the game that collects beautiful girls."

"Collecting beautiful girls...how do I collect them?"

"This has to do with the damned gacha system, and that damned Square Enix."

Tang Yao seemed to remember something interesting, shook her head slightly, and then briefly explained to Li Xue about the two-dimensional card drawing game, which was completely different from the online game that encouraged players to compete with each other and had a ranking model.

This was the type she had been considering for a long time.

As for why this is...

As luck would have it, Tang Yao was an artist in her previous life who drew beautiful girls for a rubbish card-drawing game.

Moreover, this type of product is relatively low in cost.

"..."

As Tang Yao spoke, Li Xue felt as if the door to a new world had opened, and she was stunned.

After Tang Yao finished speaking, she seemed to understand and immediately said, "No! Isn't this just asking players to pay for love? How could anyone spend money on a paper man? I don't think anyone would be optimistic about this..."

“It’s exactly the same.”

Tang Yao was not surprised when she heard what Li Xue said, but she felt a little emotional.

At that time, when Square Enix launched Million Arthur, the originator of the two-dimensional card-drawing game, no one was optimistic about it.

Because this completely went against the operational thinking of online games at the time.

But when the game flow came out, everyone was shocked.

This immediately triggered a wave of card-drawing game craze.

During that period, so-called mobile game companies sprang up like mushrooms after a rain, and all kinds of shoddy mobile games were produced crazily, and everyone wanted to get a piece of the pie.

However, Tang Yao did not intend to refute, because it is indeed difficult to accept new things.

She also didn't want Li Xue to continue to have wild thoughts.

"Well, so at this time, the popular original works are needed to make a difference."

Tang Yao didn't continue the topic. Instead, she looked at the file bag she had brought and changed the subject, "For example, a fascinating comic book..."

Yes.

The reason why she chose the card drawing game is also related to her job as a comic editor.

If she could draw a popular and captivating manga from her past life, perhaps it would help drum up momentum for the game. Previously, she'd thought of using her connections to get someone else to draw it, but now maybe she couldn't do it herself. After all, she'd already tried...

This is expected to bring a lot of popularity to the card-drawing game that uses characters as a selling point.

As for what to draw... there are quite a lot of choices.

"Charming comics..."

to be frank.

Li Xue was already having trouble following Tang Yao's train of thought. She sighed, looked at Tang Yao, who was completely serious, and gently held her arm, trying to persuade her again, "Are you asking the comic book readers to pay for it? Tang Yao, that's impossible. It's too risky, too outrageous..."

"I know."

Tang Yao looked at Li Xue, who was still worried, and said helplessly, "Actually, this is just a plan. For now, I can only think about it because I have no money and no investment. Although I can draw most of the beautiful girls myself, even comics, I can draw them all by myself, but without enough money, it will definitely not work."

Yes.

Although it's a good idea.

But the problem is that there is no start-up capital.

Tang Yao looked at the worried Yu Jie in front of her and said half-jokingly: "To be honest, Miss Li, it would be great if you could introduce me to someone in the venture capital fund."

originally.

Tang Yao was just joking.

But I didn't expect it.

After hearing this, Li Xue was silent for a moment, then said softly, "I do know someone from the venture capital fund."
