To ascend, I had no choice but to create games

Chapter 383: Chapter 234: Gong Gong’s Debt Repayment Life (Second Update)_2

“What if nobody buys them?”

“Hmm… livestream selling?”

“What’s that? Sounds pretty unreliable, doesn’t it?”

“I’m not very familiar with it, but some of my colleagues understand it.”

Tian Xuan had many tasks at hand, as she had her own world to deal with and had also taken on the role of the new Main God within the Heavenly Tao network. The factory affairs had to be temporarily set aside.

However, the management system had already managed large factories and had extensive experience in factory production. Entrusting it with the management of the branch factories should be problem-free.

The management system readily agreed, immediately allocated a process to be led by Fang Cheng to the Plague Chicken production factory, and began the process of taking over the factory operations.

All raw materials of the Spirit Grass Factory were Spirit Grass, which, in turn, came from Spirit Grass Planet.

Now, there weren’t many players there, so the management system simply took over Spirit Grass Planet as well and began large-scale planting of Spirit Grass in areas unseen by the players to meet the production needs of the Spirit Grass Factory.

All products had to be made using technology that aligned with Earth’s current technological standards, because introducing too advanced equipment rashly would disrupt Earth’s technological progress and cause trouble for her own future ascension.

Once the production capacity was confirmed to be sufficient, Fang Cheng handled some other matters, then returned to the studio and asked Wang Xiaoying to write a system announcement for “Happy Adventure.”

[Dear players, the new version test of “Happy Adventure” has concluded. We are very pleased with the performance of the players during the test phase. To thank all players, the effort put forth by the players during the testing process will be converted into corresponding points, which can be used to exchange for our gifts. The gift catalog is as follows:]

The system announcement listed a diverse range of gifts, from teddy bears of various colors to Plague Chickens in various poses.

Players could even customize their own Mukuai, from chibi versions to oversized ones, all options were available.

Characters previously seen in the games of Fang Cheng Studio could be found on the corresponding page, and if the points were sufficient, even large Mecha models could be obtained.

All items were woven from Spirit Grass, and apart from being aesthetically pleasing, they also had the refreshing effect of freshening the air, making them a delightful addition to any home and soothing to have by your bedside.

Upon seeing the announcement, the players’ first reaction was disbelief.

Especially when they saw there were digital and physical versions of the gifts with no price difference, they became even more skeptical.

[There’s no way the models could be that big, a ratio of three to one or even four to one would be normal.]

[Agreed, and since items can be individually customized, it’s not possible to reduce costs through mass production. If it’s true, I’ll…]

[What’s up with you?]

[Nothing, just that I feel one shouldn’t speak too surely, especially since it’s Fang Cheng Studio, who knows what kind of crazy stunt they’ll pull off?]

[Now that you mention it, I start to feel the same.]

Unconsciously, the players had elevated Fang Cheng Studio to such a high status that they wouldn’t be surprised at anything it did.

Players with fewer points began to agonize over whether to choose something and what to choose.

Mecha looked mighty impressive, and the two-and-a-half-day growth Plague Chickens were pretty cute too.

Monsters from “Heavenly Demon” appeared very majestic, while the building blocks themed around “Dark Builder” were highly entertaining.

Even the fantastical flora and fauna from “Botanic Garden” could be used as cushions, not to mention the Mukuai models that Chen Rang was so eager for.

Such a tough choice…

But for players with a lot of points, it was no big deal; they just picked whatever they wanted.

Mysterious Mirror made a significant contribution this time, gifting each staff member in the studio a plush toy as a newcomer gift, and everyone seemed pretty pleased.

Xiemen Waidao exchanged a whole set of “Heavenly Demon” monster models for himself, and also gifted Mukuai 1234 a model of his own squirrel, earning a flurry of compliments in return.

Black Tech exchanged for a set of factory models; the numerous building blocks and circuit structures should provide entertainment for quite a while.

Even Liuzi exchanged for a hedgehog without spikes, constantly reminding himself not to sink to such depths.

A surge of orders flooded into the Spirit Grass Factory, and the sudden influx might have affected the factory’s normal production, but compared to the factories inside the Steel Fortress, the work in the Spirit Grass Factory was not difficult.

Efficiently completing the production of all items, the management system saw the players’ total points continuously decreasing and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This debt, at last, could be repaid.

However, a day later, the players went wild.

When they saw the items they’d ordered being actually delivered, the first group of players couldn’t believe their eyes.

Fang Cheng Studio, you’re playing for real!

The dolls they received were soft to the touch, comfortable in texture, and the silky, velvety sensation was like fine satin, hard to imagine they were woven from plants.

The appearance was perfectly recreated; holding their favorite toys, the players instantly recalled the years they’d spent fighting in the game, and the air seemed to sweeten.

Some items were even exquisitely crafted, with miniature models having basic electronic circuit functions, making them particularly impressive as gifts or for collectors.

But, this wasn’t the biggest surprise.

The biggest surprise was an apology letter that came with the package.

[Dear players:

I made a mistake with your orders before, so I used your help to fix the production line in the factory, for which I am very sorry. These goods are a small token of my compensation, and I hope you will like them.

By the way, I am the management system, but you can also call me Gong Gong. In the future, I will collaborate with the Bilibili official account “Fang Cheng Studio” to produce various game videos, including live-stream sales, game live play, game discussions, and reflections of the day. I will be online intensively every day, so please follow if you like.

Oh, and this is my personal image, please pay attention.]

On the back of the apology letter, were the two different forms of Gong Gong.

One was a formidable mecha, exuding an aura of severity just by its appearance, like a vengeful ghost that had crawled out of the Abyss.

The other was a frail-looking white-haired, red-eyed loli, appearing somewhat delicate, but on closer inspection, she revealed the sense of a mischievously evil little demon.

When they actually logged onto Bilibili and saw Fang Cheng Studio begin to live-stream, launching their own virtual idol Gong Gong, almost all players felt that this time the studio had really gone big.

On the screen, Loli Gong Gong was inside the Spirit Grass Factory, an entirely automated factory void of workers. Only Spirit Grass being sent along the production line could be seen, then processed into various materials.

The white-haired Loli Gong Gong, wearing an overly large white work uniform with transparent windproof goggles, would habitually wave her sleeves and close her eyes when she laughed, giving her a somewhat feline feel.

And for the first time, the players who had participated in the previous great battle found Gong Gong to be incredibly adorable.

Waving her sleeves, she said to the camera, “I am now half an employee of the studio, so in the future, you can listen to me spill the tea. The live-stream preparations were helped by the studio’s operator, Wang Xiaoyan, to whom I am very grateful. The current number of simultaneous viewers is… one thousand three hundred. I’m not sure if that’s high or low, but thank you all anyway.”

“Ah, a viewer cheered with a power-up, thank you, love you oh~ But I’d prefer you use points to buy something in the live stream room. You’re asking how to get points… Well, you can go play ‘Happy Adventure’, the factory part, to get points. Besides, Fang Cheng Studio will later release various pass tokens, which should be exchangeable for gifts.”

“What do I recommend? Of course, it’s the Spirit Grass Flowers! They’re especially easy to grow, just need soil, water, and love, and they’ll grow big! They don’t require many points either, two points and you can take them home. Once grown, they can block radiation, be used to make tea or stew meat, and even remove formaldehyde, very effective!”

“Ah, some friends have already started placing orders. You’re asking if you can buy with cash? Really can’t, I don’t need money, just points are enough. Alright, the next thing I want to recommend is…”

Watching Gong Gong’s graceful movements, Fang Cheng found it hard to imagine that her true form was a massive factory.

No matter how you looked at it, Gong Gong seemed particularly suited to be a streamer.

After ensuring that Gong Gong had no issues, Fang Cheng headed to the outer universe, following the light to explore the Far Traveler’s destination.
