My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 84 Earning Tens of Millions (Vote for Monthly Ticket!)

Chapter 84: Chapter 84 Earning Tens of Millions (Vote for Monthly Ticket!)

Thinking about this, Chen Yan couldn’t help but feel a bit lost.

How should he count this favor from Lu Man? And how should he repay it?

He fiddled with his pen, pondering.

And it was just then that his gaze fell involuntarily on a photo stuck in the middle of his notebook.

Chen Yan pulled it out to look, it was a used sheet of "Xiao Ha’s Instant Camera" film.

It was this sheet of film that had forecasted the game’s potential.

Although there was a certain margin of error, but now it seemed that the difference shouldn’t be big.

Thinking this, Chen Yan flipped the film over, wanting to see the initial evaluation.

But... just when he saw the back of the film, he was stunned.

"Eh? The evaluation on the back of this film has changed?"

"Does this thing even update automatically?"

Thinking this, Chen Yan curiously reviewed the notes on the back of the film again.

[Hidden Guardian]

Development cost: about 2.1 million (including Virtual Girlfriend segment).

Promotion cost: 200,000.

Projected revenue: 21 million. (Celebrity promotion & subsequent chain reaction +9 million)

Remark: Due to the sudden promotion by the celebrity and the enhancement of the game’s quality, game revenue has increased significantly.

Seeing the new evaluation on the film, Chen Yan was surprised for a moment.

Although he had long known that the surprise from Lu Man, along with the subsequent chain reaction, had increased the game sales by a lot, he really hadn’t expected it to increase by so much.

9 million?!

This favor was really a big one owed.

But looking at the film’s concretization of Lu Man’s role, Chen Yan did have a rough idea in his heart.

He wasn’t someone who didn’t know to repay a kindness; since Lu Man’s help with the game was so substantial, he would certainly share a portion of the profits with her.

However... how to distribute it to her, that was a question.

Giving her a share of the profit directly, official to official, would mean the agency would get a cut.

So... it would be best to give her a private share, or invest in another project of hers.

Chen Yan thought about it, "Qiao Qiao and Lu Man get along well. I’ll have Qiao Qiao talk to her about it when the time comes."

Having settled matters regarding Lu Man, Chen Yan tidied up, washed up, went to bed, and slept.

The following days were days of harvest, he wanted to face this moment with his best appearance!

...

[Yu Qiao Qiao Affection: 73] (Hesitation -1)

[Wealth: 68,888]

[Assets: 195,000+] (Promotion -200,000, Lu Man final payment -400,000)

...

The second day, Sunday.

As "Xiao Ha’s Instant Camera" had predicted, the game sales remained incredibly strong.

A 70,000 sales increase in one day netted Chen Yan a revenue of over 1.5 million.

The third day, Monday.

As it was a weekday, game sales slipped a bit but still steadily exceeded 50,000. Income was a million.

The fourth day, Tuesday.

Game sales hit 40,000, netting over 900,000 in revenue.

The fifth day, Wednesday.

Game sales saw a slight rebound. Sales reached 60,000. The total sales came to 400,000! This meant that Chen Yan’s revenue from this game had reached 9 million!

A blazing success of an indie game rose quietly.

The sixth day, Thursday. The last day of the month.

The latter part of the game, completed through overtime work, was released free as DLC.

This kind of conscientious practice led to another surge in the game’s reputation.

Within hundred thousands of sales, the positive rate reached 98%. The game was awarded the "Overwhelmingly Positive" tag by official platforms.

This week passed, and "Invisible Guardian" successfully became the top-selling game of the week, topping the national sales chart for domestic games!

And with this game, Chen Yan, Lu Man, Yu Qiao Qiao, and many actors who participated, all gained numerous fans.

Lu Man’s online reputation underwent a miraculous turnaround.

Previously she was a traffic Celebrity, but actually didn’t have any representative works.

But with the release of this game, she amazingly had a representative work, a role that left a deep impression on people!

And not only that, as she promoted the game and got many drama fans to play this interactive video game, many game fans also started to follow her, this gorgeous bad woman, because of the game.

Her follower count saw a modest increase, successfully breaking out of the circle and accumulating the favor of passersby.

This led many gossip and entertainment influencers to believe that it was Lu Man’s inadvertent stroke of genius.

Aside from Lu Man, Chen Yan also gained a certain level of fame.

His Weibo inexplicably gained quite a few followers, all fans of his looks.

Only... these fans of his looks kept calling out "Chen Jun, Chen Jun," leaving Chen Yan perplexed for a moment, not knowing if these were his fans or Qiao Qiao’s...

Because... in the game, Chunzi, played by Qiao Qiao, called herself that.

Amongst them all, the only one whose life hadn’t changed much was probably Yu Qiao Qiao.

It was unknown whether it was because her in-game appearance was too different, or because Yu Qiao Qiao wasn’t well-known in school at all, but based on Chen Yan’s "stalking observation" over the past few days, there were no classmates or fans bothering Yu Qiao Qiao.

This was completely different from the widespread "Chunzi Party" online, which actually relieved Chen Yan...

And with the success of the game, this week, Chen Yan and Yu Qiao Qiao together went shopping for a batch of raffle prizes.

There were six people in the company, one first prize, two second prizes, and three third prizes.

The third prize was a laptop, of which the company already had some in stock: the batch that Yu Qiao Qiao had bought but hadn’t been reimbursed for yet.

Chen Yan and Yu Qiao Qiao went on to purchase two high-end desktop computers, each valued at around 40,000, as the second tier of the raffle prizes.

The first prize, of course, was Chen Yan’s rose-red Porsche... freēwēbnovel.com

It’s just that, every time this was mentioned, Yu Qiao Qiao’s expression always seemed a bit odd.

After all, among the company, there were only two women, herself and Fat Phoenix.

This determination of the first prize was really "an open secret that everyone knows"...

Yu Qiao Qiao’s expression, Chen Yan saw it in his eyes, felt urgent about it in his heart, but didn’t show it on his face....

He really was at a bit of an impasse now.

He couldn’t possibly force it on Yu Qiao Qiao...

He could only hope for a surprise from the happiness points and the shop refresh at the beginning of the month.

After purchasing the prizes, the time for the raffle was also set. It was scheduled for next week’s Monday.

Chen Yan had the weekend to think of a way, to deal with this issue of "rigged drawing"...

...

On Saturday, a plane flew to Qin Island.

The plane landed, and a beautiful woman, dressed in a leather jacket and pants, wearing sunglasses and a mouth mask, and fashionably attired, alighted from the plane with her luggage.

Through the corridor, walking out of the airport exit, a girl with a first-love face, sweet smile, not very tall, but very cute, was waiting outside.

Seeing the beautiful woman, the cute girl waved happily and called out, "Sister Man Man! I’m over here!"

Hearing the girl’s voice, Lu Man smiled from behind her sunglasses.

She walked out of the exit, hastened her steps, then let go of her luggage, and hugged the girl, saying, "Qiao Qiao. I didn’t expect you’d actually come to pick me up. I thought you would be waiting for me at the hotel."

Yu Qiao Qiao smiled sweetly within Lu Man’s embrace, "How could I not? How could I not come to pick up Sister Man Man when she comes to Qin Island?"

Saying that, she took over the suitcase from Lu Man’s hand, and said, "I’ve already hailed a taxi, let’s head to the parking lot now."

Lu Man nodded and replied, "Alright. It just so happens, I have something I want to discuss with you too."
