Let you make a game, what the hell is Pokemon?.

Chapter 47 Moving and Promotion (5k)

Ling Feng, after a morning of travel, had successfully moved into his new home.

Although he wanted to visit other areas to see the scenery, he finally chose to stay in the Kanto area.

On the one hand, he was more familiar with the situation in the Kanto region, and on the other hand, if you were not a professional trainer, you would need a visa to travel to other regions.

Although it is not very difficult to obtain this type of certificate, it often takes 1 to 2 months to obtain.

However, even if he continued to stay in the Kanto region, Ling Feng was quite satisfied with his new home.

This is a single-family villa located next to the Agate River, the largest river in Hualan City.

The natural environment around here is quite good, with flowers everywhere and several streams flowing not far from the door. You can even see rare water-type Pokémon such as Slither and Wooper in the streams.

In addition, the villa has its own exquisite small garden. Even Zhuguangling, who had just arrived, couldn't help but have her eyes light up when she saw such an environment, and looked around curiously.

At this moment, he was standing in the backyard looking at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh.

"It's really nice to have money."

"The last day of summer, the last day of summer!"

Although Zhuguangling didn't understand what Lingfeng was sighing about, she raised her head and called out twice in response.

Ling Feng stretched.

A single-family villa like this would be equipped with a team of housekeepers. They had just helped Ling Feng clean up the villa, and had also arranged for water, electricity, internet and other things.

Back in the study, he reopened his laptop.

To be honest, the configuration of this computer is quite average. When I was making small games, it would often freeze, resulting in data deletion. It was a common occurrence for Ling Feng to lose his temper.

If it weren't for the support of the system, it would be basically impossible to use this computer to complete the workload of the past few days.

"I'll buy a top-of-the-line computer soon to replace this old thing."

He muttered and opened the largest forum on the Internet, 'Pokémon Net'.

When I was moving today, I suddenly received a notification and gained more than 600 emotional points from an online forum.

He knew that there should be new news about emeralds on the forum.

Sure enough, as he expected, the number of posts about emeralds on the forum had exploded.

Posts about the CG of Regirock, the God of Rock, are flying all over the place.

[Shocking! A mysterious legendary Pokémon appeared in a cave?!]

[How can a game's CG be this good? ]

Is the revolution of the gaming era coming?

These posts naturally included the video of the Rock Pillar CG during the live broadcast of Qishu and Shirona.

Ling Feng once asked the system and learned that if the CG segment about the Rock God Pillar was presented to the audience through live broadcast, the audience would also be able to feel the true pressure of Reggie Rock.

But if you download this video, this feeling of oppression will be greatly reduced.

But even so, the number of replies under these posts has quickly reached thousands or even tens of thousands.

[Huh? It's so big, is this really a Pokémon and not a sculpture? ?]

[Your sculpture's eyes glow, and its aura can scare people to death through the screen?]

Is this a game CG? Is this really not a real shot?

After taking a quick look at the comments, Ling Feng went back to look at his game background.

As of now, the game sales have successfully reached 5 copies and are even approaching the 6 copy mark.

And at this moment, the system prompt also popped up.

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have completed the new S-rank side quest "Wild Sales"!]

[Task Requirements: Within this week, the total sales volume of the game must reach 50,000 copies!]

[Mission Reward: Random Intermediate Module, 1000 Emotion Points, Special Item "Magic Candy Gift Box" x5! Already distributed!]

As usual, a card for extracting the module immediately appeared in front of Ling Feng.

He selected it with ease and the card disappeared instantly.

However, the new module that appeared this time was unprecedented, with a burst of colorful light!

Ling Feng was slightly stunned by this situation.
Colorful fonts also appeared before his eyes!
[Congratulations host, you have obtained the [Special] Intermediate Module "Easter Egg Button"! ]

[Introduction: This module can be enabled for any game you create. Once enabled, thousands of different Easter eggs will be randomly added to the game, and you will not be able to directly know the content of the Easter eggs.]

[Special module bonus: When any character generates emotion points from game Easter eggs, the points gained increase by 100%!]

[The rewards provided by these Easter eggs may slightly affect the balance of the game, but they will be consistent with the game's worldview, content, and style, and will enhance the fun of the game.]

[Do you want to activate this module for the game "Pokémon: Emerald"? ]

Looking at the prompt in front of him, Ling Feng hesitated for a moment.

For a mature game, the existence of Easter eggs is indeed indispensable
But if you can't know the specific content of these Easter eggs, and it will also affect the balance of the game...
If you want to increase it, you really need to think carefully about it.

However, after a brief thought, Ling Feng made a decision.

Since the modules are already guaranteed, it will only slightly affect the balance of the game.

Considering the difficulty of making emeralds now, it shouldn't have much of an impact, right?
Moreover, the emotion points obtained through Easter eggs are directly doubled!

With this thought in mind, he chose to activate the Easter Egg module on the Emerald. Suddenly, a colorful data stream appeared above the folder, turned into a hidden document, and disappeared into the folder.

Ling Feng didn't plan to look for this folder.

The system said that it couldn’t get the information, so it probably couldn’t find it.

Anyway, there will be more and more players of this game in the future, and once they find interesting Easter eggs, they will naturally share them.

With this thought in mind, Ling Feng set his sights on another reward for this mission.

There were 10 small pink gift boxes, each containing 5 blue candies, but half were dark blue and half were light blue.

This is the legendary item - "Magic Candy".

Ling Feng picked up a gift box containing dark blue candies, and a prompt immediately popped up in front of his eyes.

【Please select the character you want to give as a gift】

He glanced at the boxes, looking thoughtful.

Ling Feng's plan is to distribute these magical candies as gifts to the top-ranked players when the rankings are settled this weekend.

At the current rate of progress, the first place will be either Du or Shirona.

To be honest, he was a little curious.
How much of a boost can these candies bring to these champion Pokémon?
Among the gift boxes of these magical candies, half can only be given as gifts, while Ling Feng can keep the other half for himself.

He opened the locker next to him and divided it up, placing it in two different compartments.

Just when he was about to put the last box of candies he could use in, Zhuguangling came over shaking his little head, staring at the gift box in his hand, with visibly drooling from the corners of his mouth.

"Motofu? Motofu!"

[What is this? It smells so good!] Clearly, the Candlelight Spirit smelled the candy and was craving it.

Ling Feng couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He didn't expect that this little guy actually liked sweets?

He had thought these ghost-type Pokémon were only interested in special foods and souls.

He lowered his head and touched Zhu Guangling's head, explaining:

"These are candies, but they have other uses. They can make you instantly stronger."

"It's a bit of a waste to use it on you now. We can use it when you grow up a little bit to maximize the benefits."

"Be good, if you want some candy, just tell me and I'll buy it for you."

Zhuguangling had no choice but to nod reluctantly.

Ling Feng did what he said and opened his phone to order several different Pokémon candies online.

Just after paying the money, a series of information prompts appeared in front of his eyes.

[Ding! Congratulations host, you have obtained a new side quest! ]

[S-level side quest: Sales King]

[Task requirements: Sales of any game you create must reach 15 within 30 days!]

[Mission Reward: A-level Special Item Box x1, Invitation Card x1, 2000 Emotion Points]

After taking a quick glance at the task requirements and rewards, Ling Feng's gaze fell directly on the black card.

—Invitation card? What is this?
Amidst the confusion, the information about this card also directly emerged.

[Special System Item: Invitation Card]

[Once you have this card, you can invite any being to play all your games and use your products out of thin air through spiritual thoughts.]

[Note: This item is consumable. It lasts indefinitely after a successful invitation. However, after using this item, the player still needs to pay to purchase the game and software before playing.]

What is the use of this thing?

To be honest, after reading these prompts, Ling Feng was a little slow to react.

The next moment, he suddenly realized something. Since this card said it could invite "any being"...

Does that mean Pokémon can do it too?
Ling Feng felt his breathing stagnate, as if he had opened the door to a new world at that moment!
He immediately confirmed with the system:
"System, if Pokémon play the game, can they also gain points through the emotions they generate?"

The system immediately gave a positive response.

[Replying to the host, as long as the game you create allows any being to feel the fluctuations and changes in emotions, it can generate emotional points!]

[However, the emotion points generated by ordinary Pokémon will be the same as those of ordinary players, which will be relatively small. After playing with special Pokémon, the points generated will increase significantly and far exceed those of special characters.]

Looking at this line of prompts, Ling Feng was stunned.

Special characters refer to top Pokémon trainers like Sirona and Du, scientific research masters like Professor Oak, and live-streaming star gym leaders like Qishu.
So what are special Pokémon?
Could it be... a legendary Pokémon?
Let Legendary Pokémon play their own game?

Ling Feng felt sweat running down his forehead.

This... doesn't seem to be impossible though.

But... in reality, let alone whether you can find those Pokémon that have disappeared for hundreds of years.

Even if they were found, they would be powerful figures who could easily slap a champion away or destroy a mountain with a single move of their hands...
According to the historical records of this world, the legendary Pokémon in the real world are not as easy to get along with as those in the animation.
Some of them even hate humanity.
Do I have to go up to these guys and say - Hey, I have a new game, do you want to try it?
If you encounter some bad-tempered legendary Pokémon, you might not even be able to get anything left.
Thinking of this, Ling Feng shook his head slightly.

This idea is still too dangerous, let's take it slow for now.

But if we take a step back and talk about special Pokémon, they don’t necessarily have to be legendary Pokémon, right?
Would the mythical Pokémon and those champion Pokémon all be considered "special"?
It’s a pity that there is only one invitation card, and Ling Feng doesn’t have any extra opportunities to try.

With this thought in mind, he turned his attention back to the task itself.

The requirement of the mission is actually an upgraded version of the previous side mission, which is to increase the sales of the game to 30 copies within two weeks!

Although the rewards for the mission are quite good and generous, its difficulty is also quite high.

Even though Emerald's reputation on the Internet has spread, if we want to achieve sales of 30 copies so quickly, it is probably not enough to just wait for the online traffic to grow naturally.

You have to spend some money on promotion.

Ling Feng stretched.

The good news is that the last thing he lacks now is money.

After nearly 60,000 copies of the game were sold, more than 10 million yuan was earned.

Even this villa only cost him more than four million.

With this thought in mind, Ling Feng opened the webpage and searched for an advertising company for game promotion. He chose one with good reputation and sales, went directly to the other party's official website, and opened the chat window.

"Hello, I have a pixel game that needs to be promoted."

The other party responded very quickly.

[Morning Promotion: Hello, what type of game is yours? Is it currently in beta or official version?]

[Wind: This is a battle game, a test version.]

Ling Feng answered truthfully.

Upon hearing this, the other party seemed a little embarrassed.

[Morning Promotion: Okay, but I have to tell you in advance that if it's a beta version, the promotion fee will be higher... and the promotion effect will actually be worse for pixel-based games. Are you sure you need it?]

【Wind: Confirm】

[Morning Promotion: Well, we have a 150,000 yuan package here, which is very cost-effective. We also have 200,000 yuan and 300,000 yuan packages.]

Thousands of miles away, a customer manager of Morning Promotion Media Company, sitting at his computer desk, couldn't help but adjust his glasses and sighed slightly.

I originally thought it was a big order, but I didn't expect it was from a pixel game developer who wanted to promote it.

According to his experience, companies that choose this type of game usually have insufficient budgets and naturally do not have much money to spend on publicity.

But as the saying goes, if you have the chance to make money, you are a fool. After a brief thought, he typed another line of information into the chat box.

[Of course, if you think it's expensive, we have a special promotion of 100,000, but the effect will be less.]

However, before he could send the message, a message came from the other side.

That’s a huge transfer tip.

[Feng: 200 million yuan has been transferred]

Feng: Promotional expenses are not a problem. The more people see it, the better.

Feng: Also, I've already made the ad myself, so just use mine.

Before the man could come to his senses, the other party sent him another video.

He subconsciously clicked on the window, and a magnetic, magical male voice, accompanied by exquisite pictures, suddenly appeared before his eyes.

"Have you ever thought about becoming a Pokémon trainer?"
