Reborn not to be a simp, the school beauty's whole family goes crazy

As these negative reviews spread among players, the reputation of "Luoyang Knights Inn" plummeted.

In stark contrast, the sales of "I Run an Inn in Chang'an 4" were unexpectedly boosted.

Many players who originally planned to try "Luoyang Knights Inn" turned their attention to "I Run an Inn in Chang'an 4" after hearing negative reviews.

In the game section of an electronics store, a salesperson is busy organizing the shelves.

He was quite surprised to find that sales of "I Run an Inn in Chang'an 4" had increased significantly.

Just then, a regular customer walked over. This customer was a game enthusiast who often came to buy game cartridges.

The salesperson asked curiously, "Brother, have you noticed that the sales of 'I Run an Inn in Chang'an 4' have suddenly improved recently? Do you know why?"

A regular customer said with a smile, "It's all because of that 'Luoyang Knights Inn' game. Everyone found out it was plagiarized and not fun, so they all came to buy 'I Run an Inn in Chang'an 4'."

"This comparison will show you which game is better."

The salesperson suddenly realized, "Oh, I see. I was wondering why it was selling so well all of a sudden. It seems that game quality is still the most important thing."

The regular customer nodded: "That's right. The 'I Run an Inn in Chang'an' series has always been very well-made, constantly improving both the graphics and gameplay."

"Unlike some games that just copy others and have no sincerity at all."

In the following period, the sales of "I Run an Inn in Chang'an 4" continued to rise, and within just a few days, it boosted sales by several hundred copies.

Meanwhile, "Luoyang Knights Inn" has been increasingly rejected by players, with its inventory piling up in the corners of various shops, attracting no customers.

In the game department of Alienware Technology Co., Ltd., the air seemed to freeze, and the oppressive atmosphere was like an invisible net, tightly enveloping everyone.

The cartridge game "Luoyang Knights Inn," which carries high expectations from many, has been out for two full months since its release.

Originally, everyone was full of expectations that it would create a huge wave in the market and achieve amazing sales.

However, reality delivered a devastating slap to everyone's face.

The game only sold 5,000 copies, although it still brought in a profit of more than 300,000 yuan for the company.

However, compared to the previously ambitious sales target of tens of thousands of cartridges, the difference is like heaven and earth, the gap is staggering.

What's even more troublesome is that there are still 5,000 sheets of inventory piled up in the warehouse.

Those game cartridges were like a heavy, cold mountain, weighing heavily on the hearts of every employee in the game department, making them feel incredibly oppressed and burdened.

The game department manager's face was contorted with rage, like a volcano about to erupt.

He paced back and forth in the cramped office, each step heavy, as if he wanted to stomp a hole in the floor.

His eyes seemed to be burning with two raging flames, as if they were about to burst out at any moment.

The ten programmers, artists, musicians, and planners under his command were like a group of children who had made a mistake.

They stood in a neat row, heads bowed, not daring to breathe, much less look directly into the manager's murderous gaze.

The manager suddenly stopped in his tracks, his movements as if frozen in time.

Then he extended his finger, like a sharp dagger, pointing it directly at the crowd.

He yelled at the top of his lungs, "You all need to tell me properly, have you actually been doing your jobs properly these past two months?"

"We've invested so much manpower, resources, time, and energy, and this is the result we've achieved?"

"Isn't the idea for 'Luoyang Knights Inn' good? Isn't there a strong demand for management simulation games in the market right now?"

"So why are sales so dismal? Ask yourselves honestly, do you deserve the salaries the company pays you every month?"

The voice, as loud as a bell, echoed continuously in the small office.

Each word was like a heavy hammer, striking everyone's hearts and causing them waves of pain.

Programmer Xiao Li trembled with fear, lowered his head even further, and murmured, "Manager, we really did it seriously."

"I have checked and debugged the code countless times, and there are absolutely no problems."

"The game runs very smoothly on various devices, with no lag or crashes."

The art team leader quickly stepped forward and eagerly added, "Yes, manager."

"In order to do a good job in art design, our entire team worked overtime, meticulously crafting the image of each character and the layout of each scene, striving for perfection."

“Look at the textures of the characters’ clothing, and every plant and tree in the scene; they were all carefully designed and drawn by us.”

Musician Xiao Zhang timidly raised his head and said in a soft voice, "As for the music, I racked my brains and revised it many times."

"From the opening theme song to the exciting melodies during battles, and then to the soothing music in everyday scenes."

"I hope to create the perfect atmosphere so that players feel like they are actually there."

Planner Xiao Wang sighed helplessly and said with a bitter face, "In terms of planning, we have referred to a lot of successful game cases on the market, and also closely combined them with the popular elements at present."

"For example, popular elements in the martial arts genre, and players' preference for management and development gameplay."

"We did a lot of market research, but for some reason, the game just wouldn't sell."

The manager scoffed dismissively, "Hmph, if everything you're saying is fine, then how do you explain the sales figures?"

"Don't give me these high-sounding excuses. There must be something you did wrong. Go back and reflect on it!"

"If you can't produce decent results next time, none of you are allowed to work here!"

After saying that, he flicked his sleeve, the movement filled with anger and dissatisfaction, and strode out of the office.

The group was left looking at each other, an awkward and oppressive atmosphere filling the office.

The manager, seething with anger, hurried to the chairman's office.

The chairman was sitting at his large, luxurious desk, intently reviewing the documents in his hands.

The manager cautiously pushed open the door, tiptoed in like a schoolchild who had made a mistake, and kept his voice extremely low.

He said in a low voice, "Chairman, I've come to report on the sales of 'Luoyang Knights Inn'."

The chairman slowly raised his head, his gaze sharp and piercing.
