Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 837: Going All Out


Solving his family issues, Lu Xiaobu left his home and started wandering.

Sister Lan had company matters to handle, and the three women were actively discussing some topics, so they had no time to accompany him for now.

He was happy to take a break!

Well, don't ask where the break is happening.

Where's the break happening? Do you have no clue?!

Walking down the street, he suddenly felt quite bored.

"Are there any games out lately?"

Lu Xiaobu posted a Weibo, speaking idly.

Quickly, a flood of comments came in, recommending various games.

Among them were recommendations from game companies, as well as individuals.

After all, everyone knew Lu Xiaobu was very generous.

Especially game companies were eager to recommend their games.

Everyone knew Lu Xiaobu naturally brought traffic.

As long as Lu Xiaobu entered the game, it would attract tons of traffic!

However, as Lu Xiaobu looked through them, they were all traditional monster-fighting, level-up, and faction war games with no novelty.

Completely uninteresting.

But he didn't stop collecting suggestions, reading one comment after another.

Anyway, he was just killing time.

As for developing a game, it was just too exhausting, and he didn't know what to develop anyway.

...

Taizhou City.

In a small, almost-hidden room within the city.

Trash was everywhere on the floor, with just two young men inside, drinking.

"Do you think we chose the wrong path?!"

The boy with a face full of beard said painfully.

"No! I don't think so! Clearly, it's them who lack vision!"

The other guy, relatively cleaner-looking, shouted angrily, raising his glass.

At this moment, a voice came over.

"What are you yelling for?! If you have the energy to yell, why not put it into paying rent! Two grown lads wasting their days playing with some crappy game, still have the nerve to shout?!"

A jarring voice came over, filled with scorn!

Hearing this voice, the two guys shrank their necks like quails.

This was their landlord and also their creditor; they really couldn't afford to offend her.

Slowly, once they guessed the landlord had left, they started sighing again.

"This is our last bit of funds left; once we finish this bottle, we can dissolve our partnership!"

The bearded guy sighed, opening the last bottle of beer!

"I'm not reconciled! I'm really not reconciled!"

The guy who was arrogant before suddenly seemed on the verge of tears, striking the sofa hard!

"I'm not reconciled either!"

The bearded guy sighed, also wiping away tears!

The two were game designers, kindred spirits who ventured out together as independent game developers.

They had designed a parkour game with high hopes for success.

Yet, reality struck hard!

No game company was willing to invest in them; no platform was willing to take them in!

They felt the world's profound malice, and such malice drove them to despair!

After countless struggles, still with no result, they decided to use their remaining funds to drink, then dissolve the partnership!

What a helpless choice!

But that was reality!

"Why? Why does fate treat us this way?!"

The arrogant guy let out a low, unwilling roar.

At that moment, a Weibo notification popped up on his phone.

It was Lu Xiaobu's post.

Lu Xiaobu was someone he followed, so his notifications would pop up.

"Looking for fun games?" The arrogant guy rubbed his eyes, looking at Weibo carefully, then suddenly started typing furiously on his phone.

"What are you doing?"

"Recommending our game to Lu Xiaobu!"

"Don't be foolish! Would Lu Xiaobu fancy our game?! Didn't see those big productions all got turned down?!"

"Let's give it a shot! Try again! A last-ditch effort! Anyway, we are already dissolving the partnership!"

"That's right, I'm going to post too."

So the two, filled with dreams yet facing despair, posted on Weibo.

Afterwards, the two of them fell asleep drunk on the sofa.

When you're despairingly drunk, despair is the strongest brew!

...

On Lu Xiaobu's side, he was still tirelessly going through comments.

Soon, these two new comments appeared in his view.

"Parkour game?"

Lu Xiaobu raised his brows, a bit interesting!

Actually, this type of game was a style from many years ago.

However, seeing it again now, a little nostalgia could be good, and if well made, even better!

After all, with games, it's hard to say exactly what's in or out of trend!

Take parkour, for instance. Back then, that "Running Every Day" game was popular throughout the land!

So, this game did hold some appeal for Lu Xiaobu.

Thus, he sent a direct message to the commenters: "What kind of game exactly?"

However, his message seemed to disappear into a deep ocean without a response.

This made Lu Xiaobu roll his eyes. Were these two messing with him?!

He didn't mind it and continued searching through comments.

...

The time flew by, and it was already seven or eight in the evening.

The two, who spent all remaining funds on liquor, awoke with their stomachs growling.

They exchanged a look and offered a bitter smile.

"Goodbye?!"

"Goodbye!"

The two sighed, said their goodbyes, and began getting up to pack their things.

At that moment.

"Oh my God!"

The bearded guy suddenly jumped up.

"What is it? A pie just hit you on the head?!"

"More than a pie! It's a gold bar! A gold bar!"

"What gold bar?!"

"Lu Xiaobu replied! He's interested in our game!"

"You're dreaming! A reply? Why didn't he reply to me?! I posted even earlier than you!"

Then!

Three seconds later!

"Holy crap! A real reply?!"

"I told you so!"

"Hurry, hurry, reply quickly!"

"Right, right, right!"

The two hurriedly replied to Lu Xiaobu's message, but like before, it was swallowed by the sea!

After all, Lu Xiaobu couldn't be checking his phone nonstop!

Now, it was their turn to panic!

"Lu Xiaobu isn't messing with us, is he?!"

"Probably not! Who is Lu Xiaobu? He's Young Master Bu!"

"Then what do we do?! Wait?!"

"Wait for what?! My train leaves at midnight, you know that!"

"Then what?!"

"Um…" The arrogant guy gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, and looked at the bearded guy: "I've decided to change my ticket! I'm going to Shimen!"

"You're crazy?! Your family has already given you the final ultimatum! If you don't go back, you know what will happen!" The bearded guy was shocked.

Their train tickets weren't bought by themselves but by their families.

This was the final ultimatum!

If he didn't return, it would mean cutting off the father-son relationship!

"I don't care, anyway, I'm just a madman, I'll go crazy one more time! If worst comes to worst, I'll beg on the street to gather money for a ticket!"

The arrogant guy's eyes were filled with boundless madness!

He was all in!
