The innocent first meeting between the boy and the girl makes everyone who starts playing this game smile knowingly, even though this scene seems to have nothing to do with the old man's wish to go to the moon.
As the plot progresses, more and more secrets are revealed, and players finally understand the mysteries that they had previously been unable to understand.
"Will you come back later?"
"Of course I will."
"What if you forget or get lost?"
"Silly boy, we'll meet on the moon someday."
After this conversation occurred, all those who were experiencing it personally or witnessing this story through live broadcast had only one thought in their minds, which was to help them.
But the old man's condition in the real world is getting worse and worse, and he has no more time and opportunities. Eva, another staff member who travels with the protagonist, tries to force the old man to forget the girl, ruin their first meeting, and then fulfill the old man's wish to go to the moon.
This plot made everyone feel disgusted, but under the delicate writing of Kasumigaoka Utaha, everyone had an emotional resonance with the old man.
But there is no way, the authority of the character controlled by the player is lower than that of Eva, and he can only watch the other party "delete" the girl from the old man's memory.
So from the first encounter, the girl who impressed the old man the most disappeared, and after that, all his memories of the girl disappeared.
The characters controlled by the players tried to stop it, but in the end they could only watch the story unfold helplessly until the old man joined the space agency, became an astronaut, and prepared to go to the moon.
But no one thought the story would really end here, they were all looking forward to the final twist.
So...the girl who was "deleted" by Eva appears again!
The character controlled by the player asked Eva in shock why this happened. Didn’t the other party delete the girl?
Everyone then understood that Eva had not deleted the other person from the beginning, but had simply moved the other person away from the place where she first met the old man.
While the old man was working towards his dream of becoming an astronaut, the girl was also deciding the trajectory of her own life.
Then at this moment, the two met again, no, it should be said that it was a belated first meeting.
Love will find its own way, just like life.
Afterwards, the two men boarded a manned spacecraft, the rocket ignited and took off. On the way to the moon, the two held each other's hands, and the old man's electrocardiogram in the real world finally turned into a straight line.
The old man's life finally came to an end, and his last wish was probably fulfilled.
Chapter 109: A lottery that makes your wish come true?
"That's a really nice story."
PA-san's voice sounded again in the live broadcast room, but everyone could hear the obvious sob in his voice.
Apparently, this mature lady was so moved by the story that she choked up.
As the first batch of netizens who have experienced or watched the game through live broadcasts began to speak out, various game testing organizations also gave their own evaluations, and the praise on Steam continued to be overwhelming.
Alpha Studio has also made a name for itself and become a rising star in the gaming industry.
Even though this is just a small studio with only four people including Yuya Muto, no one in the gaming industry would underestimate this studio.
Not for any other reason, but because Kayaba Akihiko is the leader of this studio.
The first-hour sales figures of "To the Moon" were quickly released. Without the media's help in recording them, the girls in the group kept an eye on the data changes in the background, and took screenshots immediately after the time came.
The sales volume in the first hour was 30,000 copies. Although most of the buyers bought the book because of Kayaba Akihiko's reputation, it should not be a problem to exceed 100,000 copies on the first day.
After some anchors passed the test, many netizens who had the means also chose to pay for tickets. If the situation is good, the number of tickets sold on the first day might exceed 150,000.
Muto: "Everyone's first work has come to a perfect end. Next, everyone will face more severe challenges, especially in terms of copywriting and art. @Xiazhiqiu @Zecun, are you mentally prepared?"
Kasumigaoka: "Of course!"
Sawamura: "As for the art matters, just leave it to me. I promise I'll take care of it!"
On the other side of the phone, Sawamura Eriri had a confident smile on her face, while Sawamura Sayuri, who was helping her stare at the Steam background data, shook her head helplessly.
Because of the success of "To the Moon", my daughter seems to be a little arrogant, but it won't be long before she hits a wall.
When Sayuri Sawamura thought of this, she couldn't help but recall the memory of Yu Muto, whom she had met once at the comic convention.
"Eri, you've finally made it to the surface, right? Do you still need the pen name Kashiwagi Eri?"
After hearing her mother's words, Eriri put down her phone and fell into deep thought. Normally, she could seal this pen name and completely leave the world of comics.
but……
"If Kashiwagi Eri stops writing right after she's achieved some success in the game, will that lead to all sorts of speculation from those with ulterior motives?"
"We can't rule out this possibility."
Sayuri maliciously followed Eriri's lead and said, "How could such a coincidence happen in real life?"
"Well... let's finish writing after I finish a few more books."
After hesitating for a moment, Eriri finally made this decision. For Sayuri, this was the result she most wanted to see, because...
"Come to think of it, the fact that Eriri is Kashiwagi Eri, the other people in your studio don't know, right?"
"Of course I don't know. How could I possibly tell them something so socially detrimental... Wait, Mom, you're not going to have any more evil ideas, are you?!"
"Hehehe, don't worry, you are my most beloved daughter!"
"But it seems like I'm your only daughter, right? Then isn't I the one you love the most and the one you love the least?!"
Having been teased so many times, Eriri has seen through Sayuri's words at this moment, but there is no point in worrying too much. Even if she knows that the other party wants to tease her, she has no idea what specific method she will use.
..............................
On the other side, Yu Muto was looking at the translucent panel in front of him with shining eyes. The settlement of "To the Moon" had come out.
"Ding! 'To the Moon' has been released, settlement in progress..."
"Ding! Settlement completed! 'To the Moon' final settlement points reward of ten!"
The settlement reward was not much, but Yu Muto hardly participated in the development of this game. He only managed the progress and quality, and occasionally provided some technical guidance.
These ten points are like free gifts, with minimal cost, but you get the lion's share of the points and game revenue.
Otherwise, why do we say that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer?
If Muto Yu was a black-hearted capitalist, he could have given Kato Megumi and the others the industry's average salary, or even reduced their wages further to the lowest level in the industry on the pretext that they were not yet adults and had no work experience.
Unfortunately, although Muto Yu is not a good person, he is not a bad person either. In addition, he is willing to give better treatment to the girls he has intentions towards.
There are now eleven points left (one point left after settling the consumption in "Stardew Valley"). Muto Yu looked at the skill extraction button, then the halo extraction button, and finally the button to add points to the basic attribute constitution.
After hesitating for a moment, Muto Yu chose to draw one each from the halo and skill. If he wanted to upgrade the ordinary skill to Lv8, he needed to have a physical fitness of 50 points, which means he needed 40 points.
But the problem is that 30 points of physical fitness are enough for Yu Muto for the time being, and his Lv7 skills are already invincible among his peers, so it is more cost-effective to further strengthen his subordinates.
After all, for large-scale games of qualified quality, the points calculation starts at fifty or sixty points. For some games that will have a profound impact on the world, it is easy to get hundreds of points.
"It would be great if I could draw a halo that would increase employee productivity."
As he talked to himself, the system's electronic synthesized sound appeared in his mind.
"Ding! Skill extraction completed. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Health Massage skill level 1!"
"Ding! Aura extraction completed. Congratulations to the host for obtaining Energetic Aura Level 1!"
The points balance became zero again. Muto Yu looked at his newly acquired skills and aura, and a subtle expression appeared on his face.
This system seems to have a targeted extraction function? Whatever you think of, you get it!
Previously, because he went out on a date with Kato Megumi, Muto Yu became concerned about the health of the girls around him. At that time, he had the thought, "It would be great if I had medical skills." Unexpectedly, he actually acquired the relevant skills today.
Although health massage is somewhat different from formal medical skills, it is effective in treating common minor illnesses and ailments, and eliminating fatigue and other adverse conditions.
At least for daily life, it is completely sufficient.
Chapter 110: Eriri: You fat bitch!
The Lv1 health massage skill has a general effect and can relieve muscle fatigue. After all, it is only the level achieved by those without talent after years of systematic learning and practice.
When you have more points in the future, you can upgrade this skill. After all, massage can not only be given to others, but also to yourself, but the latter is not as convenient as the former.
Then your eyes will be focused on the new aura, the energetic aura!
The potential enhancement halo has a good effect, but it enhances the beneficiary's potential in the corresponding professional field, as well as the efficiency of converting potential into strength through practice and learning.
This is a halo that allows them to improve their professional qualities faster. The improvement in work efficiency is mainly reflected in the fact that after the improvement of professional qualities, they can complete the original work faster and easier, which is an indirect improvement in work efficiency.
The energetic aura directly improves work efficiency and learning efficiency.
"Energetic Aura": It is effective for people who meet the screening criteria set by the host. When they work for the host, the energy consumed in processing work is slightly reduced, the efficiency of processing work is slightly improved, and the time they can continuously concentrate their attention and energy on work is slightly extended.
Note: ... (Basically the same as the previous one, except there is no talent restriction, and the effect is the same for all qualified people, so I won't add any more words here)
Muto Yu nodded with satisfaction. Even if it was only a small increase, when the number of people increased, for the development of a large-scale game, even a small increase in development efficiency could save several days or even dozens of days.
In the future, when Muto Yu raises the level of his halo, perhaps the efficiency of his employees can be tripled or quadrupled, and one person will be able to do the work of five or six people. This improvement is quite significant.
After releasing two large-scale games that proved that Akihiko Kayaba had sufficient gold content in the field of large-scale games, he established all the remaining Greek letter studios.
Offering high salaries to recruit people from all over the place, the final result will definitely not disappoint Muto Yu.
The reason why we don't recruit employees now and set up a company from scratch is because Akihiko Kayaba is truly worthy of being called the God of Games in the field of small-scale games.
However, no industry elite dared to give up their hard-earned position and gamble on an illusory future before Yu Muto produced a large-scale game.
After Yu Muto prepares to produce two large-scale games, he will conduct public recruitment in order to prove himself with the two games and directly recruit elites from the gaming industry to accompany him in overcoming difficulties and opening up the future.
After all, they are not heroines like Kato Megumi, and Muto Yu has no intention of recruiting a group of newcomers and training them from scratch.
Even if the Lost Soul Big Hand is really optimized, it will take a lot of time for Yu Muto, who has no achievements in large-scale games, to convince the other party.
Yu Muto was not interested in wasting his energy and time on these issues.
....................................
Muto: "Congratulations everyone! The sales of 'To the Moon' are still rising. It's not impossible to break 150,000 on the first day. Thank you all for your hard work during this period."
Kato: "This is all thanks to the planning provided by the president, the copywriting by Kasumigaoka-san, and the drawings by Sawamura-san."
The original work is all in pixel style, but they naturally did not follow the original version completely. When controlling the characters, it is in pixel style, but some cutscenes or short cutscenes are hand-drawn by Eriri and can be screenshotted and used as desktop images.
Sawamura: "No, it's all thanks to the code written by Kato-san. He must have put in a lot of effort to be able to teach himself from scratch and write the code for our game in such a short time."
Kasumigaoka: "Indeed, I should thank Kato very much."
Kasumigaoka Utaha frowned slightly at the fact that Eriri Sawamura didn't mention the copywriting, but she still followed her words and praised Kato Megumi.
Sawamura: "Also, Kasumigaoka-san's writing is very important. Without her delicate writing style, it wouldn't have resonated with so many people."
Seeing the message suddenly sent by Eriri Sawamura, the three people in front of the phone were stunned. Is this something that the tsundere Eriri could say?
Kasumigaoka: “You…”
Kasumigaoka: "Are you okay? Do you need me to call an ambulance for you?"
Sawamura: "What do you mean?! Just pretend I never said anything, you fat bitch!"
Eriri Sawamura didn't expect that after finally speaking frankly, she got this result. She was a little angry and directly scolded Kasumigaoka Utaha, and withdrew the message she had posted above praising her writing style.
only……
Muto: "Sorry, I took a screenshot."
Kato: "Um... I took a screenshot too."
Kasumigaoka: "Heh, I took a screenshot too."
Eriri Sawamura looked at the messages sent by the three people, her expression became a little unhappy, and then she saw the message sent by Utaha Kasumigaoka.
Kasumigaoka: "But I still want to thank Sawamura-san for the compliment. After all, it was really painful to revise the manuscript during this period."
Kasumigaoka: "Besides that, the pictures you drew, Sawamura-san, are also very important. You must have put a lot of effort into drawing those illustrations that fit the mood."
The unhappiness in her heart slowly dissipated, and Sawamura Eriri's mouth corners slightly curled up, revealing a smug smile on her face.
Sawamura: "It's a piece of cake for me. Who do you think I am?"
"I am the famous Kashiwagi Eri!"
But of course she couldn't let this sentence out, because if she did, Eriri would be doomed.
Muto: "Okay, enough with the commercial hype. 'To the Moon' is a sure thing, so what are you going to do? How are you going to celebrate?"
Sawamura: "Why don't we have a small celebration party at my house? My house is pretty big."
