Chapter 21 Adults naturally want it all
Now that this sect's holy son has "gone astray," how could they not be furious?
[He's obsessed with fame; in the end, he's just an unrealistic dreamer.]
[Does making one game make you think you can do anything?]
I don't have high expectations, but I'll give it a try.
The comments section was filled with angry remarks.
Just a second ago, they were full of admiration for Chu Xiao, who had created "Alice in Wonderland" and possessed amazing skills.
That's how furious they were in that instant.
However, despite their anger, they will still try out the new game released by Chu Xiao.
There's no way around it, in this era of a gaming wasteland.
Good games are as rare as ethereal immortals.
Players who can't find a substitute, no matter what they think, can't resist the urge to play.
As a result, the vast majority of players left the video website, logged onto STM, and downloaded "Persist to the End?", which had just passed the review not long ago.
……
Meanwhile, Chu Xiao was in his room, picking up his phone and making a call.
The phone rang briefly before the other party answered.
But after the call was connected, no one spoke on the other end.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Chu Xiao smiled. "Don't you like to talk?"
"...I don't understand what you're saying," Liu Qiqi said.
That's right, Chu Xiao dialed Liu Qiqi's number.
And the purpose... is naturally to settle the previous bets.
"Playing dumb won't work. I recorded the bet back then," Chu Xiao said bluntly.
"Recording?? You're despicable!" Liu Qiqi on the other end of the phone widened her eyes.
She originally wanted to pretend to be crazy and fool people to get away with it, but she didn't expect Chu Xiao to have a backup plan.
"It's just a measure to prevent you from cheating." Chu Xiao didn't think he was being despicable at all.
He recorded the conversation precisely because he knew that Liu Qiqi was the kind of person who would resort to despicable and shameless tactics.
"I..." Liu Qiqi tried to argue, but Chu Xiao remained unmoved and simply played the recording once.
Faced with overwhelming evidence, she had no choice but to concede defeat.
"Fine, I admit defeat. I watched the video, and your play was indeed amazing." Liu Qiqi had no choice but to admit it.
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
The wager between the two is that the loser must unconditionally grant the winner one request.
In other words, no matter what Chu Xiao's next request is, Liu Qiqi must agree to it.
Even things like "hehehe" are the same.
Thinking about this, Liu Qiqi couldn't help but feel a little expectant.
'If Ah Xiao asks me to…, how should I respond to him…' Liu Qiqi thought to herself.
With Liu Qiqi's expectation, Chu Xiao spoke up and stated his request.
"I need you to create a website. The website must have... functionality, be able to insert..., and be stable and not..., and finally..."
Chu Xiao spoke for several minutes straight, giving a complete list of requirements.
After hearing Chu Xiao's request, Liu Qiqi on the other end of the phone fell silent.
She went from initial shyness to bewilderment, then to considering the difficulty of implementation, and finally to numb silence.
Yes, it's numbness.
It wasn't because Chu Xiao didn't explain it clearly enough, but because... it was too clear.
Therefore, Liu Qiqi realized that Chu Xiao was serious, and also understood how difficult it was to create this website.
"Although I do often help others build websites, but..." After a long silence, Liu Qiqi finally spoke with a headache.
"But your request is still a bit too much."
"I know this is difficult, but it's an order," Chu Xiao said. "Don't forget our bet."
That's right, that's why Chu Xiao made the bet with Liu Qiqi.
—Because he had his eye on Liu Qiqi's "programming ability".
Saying it's programming ability isn't quite right, since websites in this world aren't made with code, but rather with formations, just like in games.
However, the types of formations used in website creation are different from those used in game development.
If we say that the formations used in game development are practical, then they require inspiration and mastery of formations.
The methods used to build websites are more theoretical, and you can directly use templates. All you need is some basic knowledge and the willingness to spend time.
From the moment he decided to pursue immortality through games, Chu Xiao had the idea of creating a website.
Simply focusing on making games, no matter how high the quality, will ultimately result in something lacking in promotion.
Even if players become enthusiastic advocates for the game because of its high quality, and spontaneously promote the game.
However, each circle has its own limitations. No matter how much players promote it, it can only be promoted to other players in the end.
For non-gamers, this kind of promotion is completely ineffective.
This means that the only group that can provide Chu Xiao with a soul will always be the small circle of players.
Although the number is already quite considerable, but...
Chu Xiao was not satisfied with this.
He's the kind of person who either doesn't do something at all, or he does it to the extreme.
In his past life, he was a player who always had to collect everything in the game to get the platinum trophy.
This spirit of "collecting everything" was also retained after the memories were awakened.
To put it simply—
Chu Xiao yearns for more souls.
He wanted not only the souls of gamers, but also the souls of people who didn't normally play games.
Children make choices; adults naturally want it all.
So, how can we achieve this step?
Chu Xiao already had a general plan in mind, and the first step of this plan was to create a website.
Since he can make games, he can certainly make websites as well.
However, people have limited energy. He's already too busy making games to have time to research how to make websites.
Secondly, because...
That's because Liu Qiqi is here.
Although Liu Qiqi was also a mortal without spiritual roots.
However, she has a very high talent for formations.
Although I can't set up a real formation because I can't cultivate, when I'm on the Spirit Network...
Isn't Liu Qiqi also a master of formations?
Knowing this, Chu Xiao made a bet with Liu Qiqi that he was sure to win, with the aim of getting Liu Qiqi to do him this favor.
Getting back to the point, after Chu Xiao emphasized that these were the conditions of the bet, Liu Qiqi had no choice but to surrender.
"I'll do it, I'll do it, okay?" Liu Qiqi agreed.
After saying that, she muttered softly, "Actually, even if you hadn't made the bet with me, if you had just told me, I would definitely have helped you with this..."
"What are you babbling about? Was there something wrong with my request?" Chu Xiao asked.
"...Sigh..." Liu Qiqi sighed, "It's very clear, I already have some ideas."
"Give me half a month, and I can create a prototype of the website."
"However, before we start, I'd like to play your new game first, and then we can get started... Is that okay?" Liu Qiqi asked softly.
After returning to the Immortal Path, Chu Xiao's hearing was excellent. After hearing clearly, he said, "No problem, then I'll leave it to you."
