You said you would make games by yourself, but how did you become the richest man by doing nothing?

The DiliDili game rating, on a scale of 10, saw Garden of Hentai quickly plummet to 5.9.

However, each time it touched this 5.9 baseline, the rating would instantly rebound, and the comment section would flood with numerous generic accounts, refreshing five-star reviews.

Data from the ME-GAME and YouYi platforms showed that Garden of Hentai had 60,000 concurrent online players on its launch day, but now it had dwindled to only 30,000.

In stark contrast, Leisure Island Life was receiving rave reviews across various game review sections:

“This game is fun. I created a beautiful girl to raise as my daughter, haha.”

“I’m a casual farming player. I basically log in every day to harvest crops, fish, catch bugs, and decorate my house with various interesting furniture. It’s like reliving my childhood summer vacations.”

“I’m a story-driven player, and I really enjoy talking to the island’s elves and listening to their legends about Kiki.”

“This game is very comfortable to play. There’s no forced main storyline that requires you to do something immediately. I’m not in a hurry to leave the island. Instead, I’m addicted to hatching elf eggs. I won’t leave until I create a top-tier battle pet.”

“Over forty years old, I’ve rediscovered the passion for exploration in this game. I’m just waiting to build a ship so I can visit friends from the messages in bottles.”

Moreover, the atmosphere in the game’s comment section was very friendly. Because there was no PVP or leaderboards, and the game provided enough resources, there was no need for internal competition. So, players weren’t as toxic, and they even threw messages in bottles with coordinates to encourage each other.

Of course, there were also occasional players who were tilted:

“Who designed Zhengxiong the crab? Dev team, come out, I promise I won’t kill you.”

The game’s rating consistently stayed above 7, but each time it approached the 8-point threshold, the comment section would instantly flood with one-star reviews from numerous generic accounts, dragging the rating down.

……

On Friday morning, Zhang Qiqi popped up in the Leisure Island Life development discussion group:

She posted a screenshot of the game having 30,000 concurrent online players, followed by a “sprinkling flowers.jpg” emoji.

Liu Mengyuan: “Yay ヾ(▽)ノ”

After all, this was a game they had participated in developing from start to finish. This kind of result made everyone very excited and full of a sense of accomplishment.

Chu Xiong: “Brother Lu has been in the dorm these past few days, and he hasn’t reacted much. He’s very calm, probably busy with his graduation thesis every day. I don’t know if he knows about the data yet. I haven’t told him.”

Liu Mengyuan: “Really? I’ll give him a call later to share the good news.”

Chu Xiong: “OK, I’ll leave the opportunity to share the good news to Sister Liu, hehe.”

Liu Mengyuan: “Young man, you’re very sensible and have a promising future, pat on the shoulder.jpg.”

After that, she dialed Lu Yu’s number.

Lu Yu was sipping green tea while browsing his graduation thesis. When he received Liu Mengyuan’s call, he was a little dazed.

“Um… what have you been busy with these days?”

Liu Mengyuan’s gentle tone was like a spring rain, nourishing Lu Yu’s tired heart and making him feel comfortable all over.

“Rushing my graduation thesis. By the way, how’s our game doing?”

In order to revise his graduation thesis, he had set his system to Do Not Disturb mode and hadn’t checked the system light screen for several days.

Liu Mengyuan originally wanted to share the good news, but she remembered what Chu Xiong had said in the group, that Lu Yu had been quite calm during this period.

The internet was full of praise, he must have seen it, yet he was still so calm. Maybe the result of 30,000 concurrent online players was already within his expectations.

So, she tried her best to remain calm: “Um… it’s alright.”

Lu Yu breathed a sigh of relief. What Liu Mengyuan meant by “alright” probably meant that the game was still maintaining around 1,000 online players.

Thank goodness, it didn’t become a hit!

He wouldn’t have to deal with various bugs and operators in a frenzy.

The two of them chatted a few more words about the graduation thesis and encouraged each other before hanging up.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yu packed up his laptop and prepared to go to the cafeteria for breakfast.

The lower-grade students passing by him kept chattering about a certain game:

“Wow, the stats of the Pony Treasure you hatched are so good?”

“I’m short of blue crystal ore to upgrade my tech. When will your ship be ready? I’ll send you my coordinates, give me some support.”

“I used the tailoring skill to make a new skirt, do you think it’s pretty?”

In order to concentrate on his thesis, Lu Yu hadn’t paid attention to game circle news for several days.

He couldn’t help but mutter: “Huh? Which game is so popular?”

He became interested. It sounded like the gameplay complexity was much greater than his own farming game.

In this era, there was actually such a fresh and refined game company? It looked like a new dark horse in the game industry.

After his thesis was approved, he would have to take the time to inquire and play it.

……

At 8:30 AM on Friday, G-chan titled his stream “Let Me See the Legendary Kiki,” and started broadcasting on time.

Even before the broadcast started, over 100,000 viewers had already flooded into the stream.

This was likely the first player on the entire internet to see Kiki, so it naturally attracted a lot of attention.

Wearing the top-tier equipment and accessories he had made these past few days, G-chan and a group of elves stood in front of the sealed stone door.

“Everyone, we’re going in, what do I do, I’m a little nervous.”

Taking a deep breath, G-chan opened the seal on the stone door.

A violent hurricane blew out from the stone door, knocking everyone over.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

After the whirlwind stopped, G-chan walked into a spacious underground hall.

In the center of the hall filled with bizarre rocks, everyone finally saw the Dark Night Master, Kiki.

She had the physique of a human girl, slender and graceful, with skin as pale as snow. Moonlight fell upon her, as if weaving a layer of light gauze.

Black wings like bat wings in the night sky, the contrast between black and white, exuded a strange beauty. A head of long hair was like a waterfall in the night, silky and misty, dancing wildly in the wind.

Golden, deep, vertical pupils, flickered with a faint light in the dark night, seeming to be able to see through everything in the other party's heart.

She sat on a stone seat in the shadows, wearing a black dress, as if she was a part of the mystery itself.

Seeing the uninvited guests, her lips curled up slightly, the treacherous smile forming a sharp contrast with her indifferent appearance.

The barrage went crazy:

“Wow ah ah ah ah ah! So handsome!”

“I’m going, the aura is so strong!”

“So cute!”

“AWSL!”

“New wife?”

G-chan clicked on Kiki's attribute panel:

[Kiki]

Race: Dark Night

Gender: Female

Level: ???

Description:

A dark and ice dual-attribute elf, identity unknown, seems to have spent endless years in this mine.

Skills:

Frost Touch: Kiki's wings can release a cold breath, freezing the ground and restricting the opponent's movement.

Dark Realm: Kiki can create a dark realm, reducing the opponent's abilities within the realm and increasing the chance of injury.

Phantom Clone: Kiki creates phantom clones, making it difficult for opponents to distinguish between friend and foe, falling into chaos.

Annihilation Funeral Song (Ultimate): Kiki chants a melody from hell, causing large-scale area damage.

G-chan was stunned. Good fellow, control, easy to hurt, and AOE, no wonder she is the ultimate BOSS of this mine.

However, she was not fighting alone!

She waved her hand and summoned six elves in one breath.

Zhengxiong's pincers gleamed with cold light, like two giant sickles, ready to cut off all obstacles.

Behind it, the Ironclad Worm Pupa was majestic, the Lightning Rabbit darted nimbly, and electric lights flickered. The flames on the Flame Lion shot out in all directions, like sharp swords. The ice elf in the shape of a falcon circled in the air.

G-chan raised his leg and rode on the Pony Treasure in the shape of a rainbow pony, waved his small hand, and issued an attack order!
