Hearing Ruan Ningxue's words, Chen Xu couldn't help but blush.

However, in an instant, Chen Xu adjusted himself, coughed slightly to resolve the awkward atmosphere, and then began to think of excuses.

"Well, there are mainly multiple reasons..."

Ruan Ningxue, who was sitting across the table, couldn't help but curl her lips.

A man’s mouth is a liar!

"But I can accept all the conditions you mentioned, but I also have a requirement!"

Ruan Ningxue looked at Chen Xu with a smile and said.

Hearing this, Chen Xu was stunned for a moment.

He was still thinking about how to convince the other party.

When he found the other party, Chen Xu was actually not very sure at first and just wanted to give it a try.

After all, I know the situation well, take the money

It’s definitely not something you can take out now. If you do take it out, then you won’t be able to play any subsequent games.

After all, there are still some urgently needed resources that need to be purchased.

Relying on the relationship between junior and senior students

But the other party is not yours, and has no obligation to help you. Besides, it looks like trying to spread the pie.

But now, is there any drama

"What do you want, senior sister?" Chen Xu asked Ruan Ningxue.

"It will take a month, and if your game sales are not good in the future, then you have to come and work for me!"

"Sign at least two contracts! Of course, in terms of remuneration, I will definitely not think about using my labor for free like you, my junior."

Ruan Ningxue said with a smile.

Hearing Ruan Ningxue's words, Chen Xu was stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses.

Chen Xu didn't have much idea about notebooks. After all, there were quite a few female notebook painters in his previous life.

For example, what's 'Teak N' Nishizawa 5?', ahem... In fact, Chen Xu doesn't know any of these painters or their works, let alone seen them. He only heard about them from his friends.

"Then what kind of sales volume is considered poor?" Chen Xu came to his senses and asked Ruan Ningxue.

If the other party talks about sales of several million copies, then Chen Xu really doesn't have much confidence.

After all, this is a parallel world, which is very different from the game environment in the previous life.

Although the factor of piracy is gone, the market itself is different from the previous life.

Without capital for promotion operations, it can be said to be quite difficult to rely solely on tap water recommendations from players.

Including independent games that were well-received in previous lives and sold millions or even tens of millions of copies.

But if you look carefully, you will find that many of these games only became popular half a year ago.

It was all unknown at first.

Films such as "The Binding of Isaac" and others were basically unknown in the early days.

After all, the aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys.

So if Ruan Ningxue talks about sales of one million copies, then Chen Xu thinks it's better to go it alone.

Because if he agrees, with the game he currently plans to make, there is a high probability that he will become a book artist.

"Eh... 100,000, um, 50,000 is fine!"

"If the sales volume does not exceed 50,000 within 1 month after the release, then you lose!"

Ruan Ningxue took out her mobile phone and seemed to be sending some message.

After about a minute, Ruan Ningxue raised her head and said a number.

Hearing Ruan Ningxue's words, Chen Xu couldn't help but show a confident smile.

50,000 sales a month

Although the game environment is a little different from the previous life, and there is not much start-up capital on hand.

But Chen Xu can only say that this figure is completely free.

"No problem." Chen Xu agreed directly.

"Then senior sister, let's officially start tomorrow! I'll go back and make preparations first. See you tomorrow morning!"

After saying that, he said hello to Ruan Ningxue without giving the other party time to react.

Chen Xu turned around and left the coffee shop.

Only Ruan Ningxue, who was still a little dazed, was left.

Myself... Could it be that there is less

Thinking of this, Ruan Ningxue quickly opened her communication, found a phone number and dialed it.

After two seconds, the other party connected.

"Sister Xin, didn't you lie to me just now? Is 50,000 sales per month really a high sales volume?" Ruan Ningxue was a little confused when she thought of Chen Xu's confident look just now.

A crisp female voice came from the phone: "It's not high, but it's relative. Aren't you asking if a person makes a game for the first time and doesn't have much money, how many sales are considered high?"

"I have no money, this is my first time making a game, and the engine resources that are not available to game designers are all gone. This is simply a hellish difficulty start. 50,000 sales is an S-level difficulty. How many people can I make in a month?" A sales volume of 1,000 copies is considered a pass.”

"Is it true?" Ruan Ningxue was doubtful.

"Of course it's true. This is the judgment of a professional game practitioner!"

"By the way, Xiaoxue, are you planning to make a game? Have you figured it out? I just told you that you can help me with the original painting design and vertical painting. We will definitely be able to make a big career!"

Yang Xin on the other end of the phone was very excited.

"Sister Xin, Sister Xin? What did you say? The signal here is not good, we can talk later!"

Hearing the excited voice on the other end of the phone, Ruan Ningxue's expression changed slightly, she took the phone farther away, said a few words and hung up the phone, and then let out a sigh of relief.

Then thinking of what Yang Xin said on the phone, Ruan Ningxue couldn't help but smile.

It was the first time I made a game, I had no money, it was hell-level difficulty, and Chen Xu had already filled it up.

So the problem of my assistant is finally solved!

The only regret is that it will take two months for this assistant to officially take up his post.

After saying goodbye to Ruan Ningxue, Chen Xu returned to his apartment.

After simply tidying up the room, Chen Xu sat in front of the table and looked at his laptop.

As a development machine, the computer's configuration is quite satisfactory, at least enough for the "Magic Mirror" project.

Of course, Chen Xu cannot develop some larger games at all now.

Because there is no money at all, and the resource authority of the official engine is not enough.

As for resource permissions, there are basically two modes for improving them.

The first game designer to obtain official certification and have his professional title promoted.

As for how to mention it

Game sales and awards received are all factors that can be included in the evaluation.

The second option is much simpler and more direct. If you use your money ability directly, how much resources you can use depends on how strong your money ability is.

But these things are completely unimportant to Chen Xu now.

And a game like "Mirror" doesn't require much.

At least the resources currently available to Chen Xu are absolutely sufficient.

Sitting in front of the computer, Chen Xu was writing the first draft of "Magic Mirror", which is the game design document.

Although there is only one developer, Chen Xu, Ruan Ningxue only does illustrations.

But that doesn’t mean you don’t need a concept draft.

Just like writing an outline, it can greatly improve efficiency.
