Why Can’t I Make Games C73
by MarineTLChapter 73: Heavens, How Could He Do This! (2)
After a period of loading, the game finally displayed an opening cinematic accompanied by a soft, melodic piece of music.
“The year 2012…”
“The gates of hell swing wide. To escape capture by the underworld messengers, ghosts possess human bodies, feeding on negative emotions…”
“Mr. Sun, as an ordinary office worker, you have always been a nobody at work. You work hard, striving to earn enough money to buy a house, but your poor social skills have left you with no hope of promotion. On the surface, you remain calm, but deep down, you crave recognition. Life, however, rarely goes as planned. You struggle, feeling the pressure of existence weighing down on you until you can barely breathe…”
“You feel as though your life is destined to amount to nothing. However, by a stroke of luck, you receive information from hell. You have been chosen as the Savior!”
“And the first person you must save is your boss, Hu Bingqing…”
“…”
When he saw these words…
Sun Jian’s heart skipped a beat. He nearly cried out that he had seen a ghost!
Damn it!
How is the protagonist’s background so similar to mine? Even his personality is just like mine in real life!
The only difference was that in reality, his boss was a balding middle-aged man, while in the game…
In the game…
His eyes went wide!
Her skin was as white as snow, and her exquisitely beautiful face bore an expression of cold indifference that warned others to stay away. Behind her black-rimmed glasses, she exuded an air of maturity and elegance. Her long hair draped over her shoulders, seemingly swaying gently in the wind; every strand was rendered with meticulous detail. After staring for a moment, he even had the faint, illusory sensation that he could smell the fragrance of her hair. Looking further down, her black professional suit was not particularly tight, yet she still could not fasten the top button, revealing a white shirt underneath. And the reason she could not fasten that button was…
Directly below that was a slender, professional miniskirt, where he could faintly see…
Holy crap!
Holy crap!
Holy crap!
Sun Jian felt the blood in his entire body rush to his head!
This game was cursed. It was the middle of the night—how was he supposed to get any sleep now!
He clenched his fists!
Damn it!
Why did you make her so detailed? What the hell are you people trying to do!
Is there any need for a game to be this exquisite!
Who could possibly resist this!
Sun Jian had fantasized about scenarios that most men dreamed of, and his favorite fantasies usually involved various experiences with a beautiful female boss!
Of course, he had never actually visualized the specific features of such a boss in great detail.
But now!
When this beautiful, mature boss wearing glasses appeared, he was shocked to find that the game had fulfilled every single one of his fantasies!
He wished he could dive right into the screen.
“Xiao Sun, just leave your documents here. I will look at them when I have time…”
Sun Jian must have moved his character, triggering a story event.
The female CEO glanced up at him as she spoke.
Though her voice was as cold as ice, it was incredibly pleasant to the ear…
Damn it!
That voice pierced straight through Sun Jian’s heart as well.
“Option 1: Greet her with your most sincere voice. ‘Boss, you have been working hard lately. Is there anything else I can do to help lighten your load?'”
“Option 2: Put down the documents and leave…”
Seeing the choices…
Sun Jian naturally clicked the first option.
After selecting it, a quest to buy milk tea appeared!
When Sun Jian controlled his character to leave the office and step onto the street, he stared blankly at the strangely familiar scene!
“Ice and Snow World1 Pearl Milk Tea.”
“Great World Cinema.”
“Bluebird Computer.”
“A-Wei Mobile Store.”
“Forest Internet Cafe.”
“…”
What was going on!
He realized that every shop on this street existed in real life. Even the prices of the items, down to a single cup of milk tea, were exactly the same as in reality.
By making the game like this, was he not afraid of copyright infringement?
My god!
This was incredibly bold!
When he entered the milk tea shop, Sun Jian was even more stunned!
He found that the layout of the shop was identical to the one in real life!
And then…
“You love me, I love you, Ice and Snow World is sweet as honey!2“
“…”
A snippet of background music suddenly started playing.
It was just that one line, over and over…
The melody was a total earworm. After hearing it once or twice, he actually started humming along…
After spending one yuan to buy the milk tea, his character’s savings decreased by one yuan. His total assets went from 5200 to 5199.
He immediately returned to the company.
“Thank you!”
Then…
After returning to the office and handing the milk tea to the female CEO, Hu Bingqing, Sun Jian found that her favorability toward him remained at the “Ordinary Employee” level. It had not increased at all.
Did I mess something up?
That is not right!
There should have been a boost…
“Is there anything else?”
Because he was lost in confusion over why the favorability had not increased, Sun Jian did not move his character away.
Then…
Hu Bingqing looked up at him with a strange expression.
This time, there were no options.
Sun Jian discovered that for some reason, his favorability as an ordinary employee had actually dropped a bit. He saw the CEO’s expression change slightly.
It was not quite disgust, but she seemed even colder.
“Xiao Sun, I think it would be best if you straightened up your clothes. In my view, a qualified employee should always pay attention to their image…”
“I will give you a business card. Go to Amayi3 and buy something. Let the clerk help you pick out a suit…”
“…”
Amayi?
Wasn’t that a clothing brand that had just been established?
It was another damn real-world brand!
This Zhang Yang was truly bold. Was he really not afraid of being sued?
Even if it was a newly established brand…
Using someone else’s brand so blatantly in a game was practically begging for a lawsuit!
Sun Jian was utterly bewildered…
……………………….
On the other side.
Upon entering the game, Liu Ruohan finally saw her knight!
She had entered a fairy tale world!
However…
The moment she saw the knight’s face…
She was utterly stunned!
“What is going on? Why does this guy on the white horse look so much like Zhang Yang?”
“Is this really not an illusion?”
“…”

- You love me, I love you, Ice and Snow World is sweet as honey!: A parody of the viral theme song for the Mixue Bingcheng milk tea chain. The real song became a massive internet meme in China due to its repetitive melody and simple lyrics, which the text describes as “brainwashing” and instantly recognizable. ↩
