94 The Troubles of Being Rich
The number of purchases and downloads for World War Z surpassed 10 million the day following its official release!
Meanwhile, the sales growth had slowed and increased at a uniform rate.
However, the sales growth was still beyond the reach of many games that its producer thought were good.
Moreover, games were available for long-term download, and new players could download them anytime.
Hence, nobody could predict the final result.
Meanwhile, Su Ping’s income from the past day was transferred to his account!
Usually, Steam would not pay the income daily. However, since Steam wanted to please Su Ping, they promised they would pay the income daily during the first week of the release of Su Ping’s new game.
Hence, Su Ping received 1.5 billion yuan in cash this afternoon!
Of course, the amount had already been deducted from the taxes.
Su Ping felt heartache when he saw his bank account balance.
It had directly deducted 600 million yuan as tax!
It was 600 million yuan!
In the past, he would not have been able to earn so much money even if he had worked his entire life.
Although Su Ping was rich now, his perception of money and spending remained the same as when he was poor.
Su Ping didn’t even know how to spend the money!
Buy a house?
Su Ping didn’t want to move to another place to live. However, the most expensive house in the city he was in cost only tens of millions of yuan.
Buy a car?
The price of a car couldn’t compare to the price of a house.
Furthermore, the 1.5 billion yuan he received today was only the first day’s income!
Even if the income gradually decreased later, the total income would still be astronomical.
“Sigh, I never thought there would be a day when I would have to worry about how to spend money!”
Su Ping looked at his bank account balance, feeling vexed.
He didn’t know how to spend the money, but to celebrate the huge amount of money he had earned, Su Ping decided to relax for a while.
Anyway, World War Z was already released, and his fans would not urge him to make a new game in the short term.
As for Zombie Apocalypse IV, he would release the news later.
“Are you free today?”
After much consideration, Su Ping decided to send Angelica a message to see if he could ask her out.
Su Ping was very nervous when he sent the message.
He had always been a reserved person. Since he was young, he had never dared to confess to girls. When he attended parties, he often stayed at the corner.
His personality didn’t change much, even after he had grown up.
“Will she reject me? What should I do if she rejects me?”
“Am I confessing my feelings to her?”
While waiting, Su Ping had a lot of questions in his mind. He became aware that his anxiety was higher now than when he was awaiting the data for his recently released game.
However, Angelica soon replied.
Su Ping was startled when he heard the notification. He grabbed his phone and opened the chat app.
“Yes, does our rich boss want to treat me to a restaurant?”
“Hehe! It’s not just treating you to a restaurant! Just tell me what you want to do since I have too much money to spend. Today, I’ll fulfill all your wishes!”
Su Ping sent the message, as he was delighted with the message he had written.
Su Ping felt he was so sincere.
However, Su Ping had no idea that Angelica was grinding her teeth in anger after reading the message.
Angelica thought, “What?! You have too much money to spend?!”
“Are you a pig? Are you deliberately showing off your wealth to me?”
On second thought, however, Angelica believed that Su Ping wasn’t that kind of exhibitionist. Hence, there could only be one possibility.
“Are you a pig!” Angelica quickly replied.
She even replied with an exaggerated emoji.
Su Ping was at a loss when he saw the message. He had no idea why she scolded him when he wanted to invite her to have fun.
“Sigh, women are the most difficult creatures to understand in the world!”
Su Ping and Angelica spent the whole day playing outside. They had visited high-end restaurants that they had never been to.
Afterward, they went to the street full of luxury stores and came out fully loaded.
In the end, they watched a movie together. During the movie, Su Ping wanted to grab the fair little hand beside him countless times.
But in the end, he still lacked a little bit of courage.
At the movie’s end, Su Ping could feel that Angelica looked at him with resentment.
“Next time! I’ll do it better next time, for sure!”
Su Ping whispered in his heart. On Angelica’s side, she was also disappointed.
Angelica thought, “Su Ping is talented at making games, but why is he so dense to love?”
However, the day’s date went well. In the end, Su Ping dropped Angelica off at her home before returning to his own.
He opened the back-office data to have a look. After half a day, World War Z had increased another two million downloads!
Su Ping estimated he would have an additional income of hundreds of millions of yuan tomorrow.
“The feeling of lying down and counting money is not bad… Hehe…”
World War Z continued to be a hot topic in the next few days.
Although Su Ping didn’t buy any traffic, World War Z was almost always at the top of the search list.
World War Z was just released less than a week ago, but the internet was filled with strategy videos about clearing the game.
Countless top streamers in the live stream industry were also playing the game non-stop, and they had almost mastered it.
Meanwhile, Steam and Youtube were also making a lot of money.
The situation made the other two social media applications envious. However, they could do nothing but be anxious since Su Ping didn’t want to join any of them.
Half a month passed quickly, and the popularity of World War Z finally began to decline gradually.
Su Ping’s Twitter account started to get flooded with requests for updates as the players’ enthusiasm for the game gradually waned.
[Su Ping, when will the new game be released?]
[I’ve already cleared World War Z several times. When will the new game be ready? I can’t wait to play it!]
[I’m ordering you to reveal the progress of the new game. It’s already been half a month. How can you be such a lazy game producer!]
Su Ping didn’t know how to describe his feelings when he saw the comments left by the players.
“How can they say I’m lazy?!”
Su Ping felt that he had fed his conscience to the dogs.
“Is there a more productive game producer than me?”
“Even those game development companies can’t release new games as fast as I do, right?”
“A bunch of ingrates!”
