You said you were going to make games, how did you become the richest man without doing anything?

Chapter 383: The game exploded, and the entire network set off a wave of antiques. President Lu was shocked again (2 in 1 order required)

After watching the live broadcast, the audience left messages under this dynamic:

"This game is a perfect simulation tool for those who have no money but still want to collect antiques. Playing it feels like being in a real treasure appraisal scene!"

"The scene of the live audience browsing the street stalls brought back many memories of my childhood. It was so interesting!"

"It is indeed good news for antique lovers. It completely satisfies my collecting desire!"

"Brothers, let me tell you, the beautiful woman I met while appraising treasures in the game, her long legs were so tempting, I couldn't even blink!"

"I've recently become addicted to jadeite cutting. The process of gambling on jade is so exciting. Even though it's a VR game, doing it myself is much more exciting than watching others cut it. One cut can make you feel down, but another can change your fate. It's more exciting than riding a roller coaster!"

"I'm really addicted to catching tomb robbers in the game. Many times, the tomb robbers have led the zongzi to me. It makes me laugh to death."

"By the way, this game has a lot of hidden achievements that are quite tempting to discover. I'm really looking forward to finding new ones!"

After the live broadcast ended that day, Wang Fanqie's treasure appraisal live broadcast quickly became popular, and many game-related videos broke the circle on major video websites:

"Treasure Appraisal Live Simulator": Diverse artificial intelligence NPCs usher in a new era
This game has won unanimous praise from players for its unique treasure appraisal gameplay and unique gambling experience. However, I am more interested in the game's diverse artificial intelligence NPCs, which will undoubtedly further restore the live broadcast scene. I look forward to Taoyuanxiang providing more similar good games!

……

In the Taoyuan Township player community, many players have begun to organize offline activities, such as antique appraisal competitions and game strategy sharing sessions.

Some antique industry experts and professional media began to conduct in-depth reviews and reports on the game, further enhancing the game's popularity and influence.

The most-viewed article was: "Expert Opinion: How does 'Live Treasure Appraisal Simulator' bring antique culture to life?"

Even some cultural institutions and museums have begun to pay attention to the craze brought about by this game, and are spreading the charm and history of antique culture to the public through exhibitions and lectures.

The antique Cosplay activities related to "Treasure Appraisal Live Simulator" have also become a highlight at major anime exhibitions, attracting the participation of many Cosers!
……

At this time, Liu Mengyuan, who was filming a movie in Hengdian, saw:
The game is so popular, so the surrounding cultural and creative toys must keep up!

After all, this theme is very suitable for peripheral products, and it also serves as a channel warm-up for the subsequent launch of "Taoyuan Township Battle Card"!
After obtaining Liu Mengyuan's authorization to "go ahead", Hu Tu directly began to lay out his plans in the toy market.

Xiaohutuxian Company invited a group of ancient style artists and designers, and began to produce a large number of mini antique blind boxes based on the antiques that appeared in the game.

Once these blind boxes were launched, they immediately became best-sellers. Even with a price of up to 69 yuan per box, it still couldn't stop players' enthusiasm for buying!
Soon, a large number of antique blind box shopping posts began to emerge on major trendy toy forums:

Unboxing the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup, I was so lucky to get it right away!

Unboxing "The Goddess of Luo River", the exquisite design amazed the entire network!

"Friends show off: Unboxing the "Sword of Goujian, King of Yue" and find a surprise inside!"

Unveiling the Secret: Unboxing "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" and Recalling the Beautiful Scenery of Jiangnan Thousands of Years Ago

《Wow! Preview of the "Tang Sancai Series Mini Blind Box" on sale!》

In major shopping malls and toy stores, antique mini blind boxes were sold out as soon as they were launched and became a hot commodity in an instant!

Not only blind box players, but even some real antique collectors have started to get into it.

Many antique fans began to share their collected antique mini blind boxes with each other through exchange and trading, and for a time, a nationwide antique craze was set off!

……

At the same time, before the launch of "Treasure Appraisal Live Simulator", the life of "Fengyue Jianbao", a millionaire treasure appraiser blogger who had hacked this game, was no longer so easy.

Many fun players rushed to the comment section of Fengyue Jianbao's video and started to mock:
"Hey, bro, since you're such an expert, why don't you make a game to teach us how to distinguish real antiques from fake ones?" "Hey, antique expert, you're here! I can't believe that the little game you called trash has become a phenomenal hit. Aren't you a little disappointed?"

"I heard you don't like Taoyuan Township's exaggerated publicity? So, how good are those shattered antique blind boxes you sell during your own livestreams? Isn't it time to put away those so-called "unparalleled rares"?"

"To be honest, your antique appraisal skills are not as good as the games in Taoyuan Township. At least they can bring me joy."

"I heard you disapprove of games damaging the image of the antiques industry. Then shouldn't you also condemn those false boasts you made during your livestreams?"

After being bombarded by netizens, Fengyue Jianbao, who could no longer bear it, finally issued an apology letter on Weibo:

Dear netizens,
I'm Fengyue Jianbao. First of all, I want to apologize to everyone.

Recently, I made some comments on Weibo, criticizing the game "Treasure Appraisal Live Simulator".

However, I did not expect that my remarks would cause such a big response and misunderstanding, and I felt very panicked.

I admit that my remarks may be too extreme and emotional, and I have not considered the game's target audience and market demand. This is a very good game.

As a practitioner who has been working in the antique industry for many years, I am well aware of the rigor and professionalism of the antique industry.

However, I didn't realize that games are entertainment products, and their purpose is to bring happiness and fun to players, not to replace the real antique identification process.

I would like to express my sincere apologies to the development team and all players of "Treasure Appraisal Live Simulator".

Finally, I will seriously reflect on my words and attitude, and be more careful with what I say and do in the future."

However, Feng Yue's apology letter still attracted a lot of attention and ridicule, and many people did not buy it:

"Heh, if the game hadn't become popular and you hadn't realized you'd offended so many people, how could you have thought of apologizing?"

"Why don't you stop being so stubborn and stop arguing with the players? Put away your hypocritical face."

"Hahaha, Taoyuan Township specializes in curing all kinds of dissatisfaction. Every KOL who crosses the line with Taoyuan Township will eventually have a clear look in their eyes!"

……

In my apartment,

Qin Ming, the boss behind Fengyue, sat on the sofa, rubbing his temples helplessly, his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about what went wrong.

Fengyue has always been a relatively capable vertical KOL in his MCN, but this is the first time he has seen the other party apologize so awkwardly!
He picked up the teacup, but found that the tea was already cold, and sighed helplessly.

Afterwards, he checked his phone.

As the boss of Fengyue, many players also went to Qin Ming's Weibo to criticize him crazily. Every comment was like a needle piercing his heart.

He couldn't figure out who Mr. Lu from Taoyuan Township was and why he could be so successful in making niche games in a vertical field?
His eyes were wandering, as if he was looking for some answer, but he couldn't find it.

suddenly!

A sudden thought came to his mind!
Could it be that all this was done intentionally by Mr. Lu?

Is the development of this project a provocation to him and a declaration of war from Taoyuan Township?

He believed that his relationship with his junior schoolmate Daji had always been an open secret.

As the president of Taoyuan Township, it was easy for Lu Yu to find out this relationship. Could it be that he deliberately arranged all this just to attack him?

Qin Ming muttered to himself, and his mind couldn't help but start imagining Lu Yu's cunning face.

That’s right!
Having made so many enemies with the Five Branches of the Central Plains, it would be strange if Mr. Lu would let me go so easily!
He picked up the phone from the table and dialed the switchboard in the Longteng Group office.

"Hello, it's me, Qin Ming from Daqin Media. Please transfer me to President Pei's office."

His voice sounded a little nervous. "I want to talk to Mr. Pei about the Taoyuan Township situation."

……

at the same time.

In the studio office of Taoyuanxiang Film, Lu Yu frowned slightly, looking a little confused.

Recently, there should be a lot of film shooting going on, but the company employees seem to be addicted to some games and are distracted.

There were bursts of noisy sounds coming from outside the office. Lu Yu raised his head and looked through the glass window, and found some employees gathered together.

When he thought about it, he realized that something was wrong with the company's employees recently.
Many employees who were scheduled to attend the original film shooting meeting began to be late frequently, with the reason being that "they just missed out on a rare antique during the live broadcast."

When it was lunchtime, everyone was still watching game guide videos while eating.

Even during lunch break, many employees did not take a nap, but instead chattered with each other about something like "treasure appraisal".

Moreover, when he took a closer look, he discovered that many employees' desks were filled with antique-related peripheral products, such as blind box capsules, key chains, cups, posters, etc.

Even the office decoration has become more "ancient" in style, with many antique illustrations hanging on the walls.

By afternoon tea time, employees had set timer reminders on their phones, as if to book a spot in a limited-time event.

Unable to resist his curiosity, Lu Yu pulled up an employee of Taoyuanxiang Film Company next to him and asked.

"Mr. Lu, this... is a very popular game called "Treasure Appraisal Live Simulator". Many people in our company are playing it." The other party replied cautiously, fearing that Lu Yu would blame him for slacking off.

"No, no, no, I wish you guys were slacking off at work... Oh, I mean, I'm just curious."

After sending this employee away, Lu Yu felt a vague sense of unease.

Recently, Hua Wu's leisurely studio group just happened to have nothing to do, and it just so happened that "Taoyuan Township Battle Card" had a strong demand for various functions of the live broadcast scene. Could it be...

Could this be another masterpiece of the company's group of little curlers?
