Chapter 191 "Unbelievable Maze" Doesn't Make Money!
"Unbelievable Labyrinth" has more than 100 different types of Gumballs to choose from.

But more than 100 is definitely not the end!
As the game progresses, different Gumballs will continue to join in the adventure of the incredible maze.

And Liu Xiong's idea is to allow players to join in Gumball's design by holding the Gumball Design Competition.

The most popular Gumball is selected through the competition, and adding the most popular Gumball to the game will definitely be a pleasing choice.

After discussing with the employees, everyone agreed that the Gumball Design Contest was a good idea.

As an offline event, it can not only give back to players, but also increase the popularity of the game.

So Liu Xiong released a shocking news through Weibo and official website.

The first "Unbelievable Labyrinth" Gumball Design Contest is about to start!
Players can download the Gumball Generator from the official website to make their favorite Gumballs conveniently and quickly.

Of course, you can also draw it yourself or use a computer to make it.

Excellent Gumball-designed products will be shortlisted for the offline finals and get rich rewards.

And the reward for the champion is an astonishing one-million-dollar prize!
After this news was sent out, countless netizens were eager to try it in an instant.

Because Gumball is so easy to make!

A grinning ball, a hat, a weapon and a shield, and a little more cosmetic items, and Gumball is done!
Even people with no background in art can use the Gumball Generator to make a simple and interesting Gumball.

And as long as Gumball can be selected, even if he doesn't win the championship, he can still get many props in the game.

If you are lucky enough to enter the offline competition, or even win the championship...

Million Dollar Jackpot!

That was an overnight fortune!

It is not surprising that this kind of design competition with almost zero threshold and rich rewards will attract many players to participate.

In just a few days, Liu Xiong received more than 10 entries!
I don't know if everyone is here for "Unbelievable Labyrinth" or for the 100 million...

Seeing the enthusiasm of the netizens, Liu Xiong couldn't help but regret the Gumball Generator he released.

Originally, it was for the convenience of everyone, even those with zero foundation can make Gumballs.

But now it seems that this tool is too convenient!

There are too many players participating!

As the organizer, works made with rough Gumball generators are basically invisible.

Those who can really be selected are probably the works of people with a certain foundation in art.

Seeing so many works, Liu Xiong couldn't help but feel a little pain in his head.

But there is no way, the B that I pretended to be, I can only swallow it with tears.

So Liu Xiong thought of a lazy method and asked Xiao Lin to make a software that automatically identifies which works are produced by the generator.

Then directly kicked out all the generator works.

This eliminated 98 percent of the entries.

The rest will be manually reviewed by Feimeng employees.

After some shameless slacking, the preliminary selection of entries continued.

Liu Xiong took the lead in exerting the spirit of hard work and led everyone to conduct a preliminary selection of entries.

At this time, a familiar female friend found Liu Xiong.

Xiaocai came to Feimeng's side and interviewed Liu Xiong wearing a set of World Cup commemorative T-shirts limited to the German team's elimination in the group stage.

Seeing Xiao Cai's "Germany's World Cup Commemorative T-shirt", Liu Xiong couldn't help but look at Xiao Cai's chest twice.

And boasted: "Xiao Cai, your suit is not bad, it is very commemorative."

Xiaocai nodded proudly, and said, "Hey, I heard from a Brazilian fan friend of mine that this is a souvenir he bought at a high price, and it was specially given to me!"

Liu Xiong understood, nodded, and began the interview.

Xiaocai first laughed lively: "According to the latest statistics, the daily activity of "Unbelievable Maze" has exceeded 2000 million!"

"For a mobile game, this is really a remarkable achievement. Congratulations to Mr. Liu!"

Liu Xiong replied modestly: "Where is it? I just did a little work and made a little achievement."

Xiaocai: "The sales of Feimeng's last game "Dead or Alive" are quite good, and the cumulative sales have reached 1.5 million sets."

"Can I say that Fei Meng made a lot of money on "Dead or Alive?"

It would be too hypocritical for Liu Xiong to say that he does not make money at this time, so Liu Xiong gave a confirmed answer.

After getting Liu Xiong's confirmation, Xiao Cai asked another question about "Unbelievable Labyrinth".

"Generally, there is a consensus that mobile games have limited monetization capabilities compared to the thriving and mature console PC games."

"The previous data also proves this point of view. There are very few mobile games with a monthly turnover of 1000 million."

"When Feimeng first said that he would devote himself to the mobile game market, many people, including our colleagues in the editorial team, were not optimistic about the profitability of Feimeng's mobile game."

"Everyone says that Feimeng's mobile game may be great, and may even subvert the mobile game market, reaching a monthly turnover of far more than 1000 million."

"I didn't expect that!"

Xiao Cai looked at Liu Xiong with admiration, and said, "Fei Meng's mobile game "Unbelievable Labyrinth" is indeed far more than 1000 million monthly streams, almost surpassing the Milky Way!"

"The profitability of "Unbelievable Labyrinth" is far ahead of other mobile games on the market, and even reached the level of Feimeng's own large-scale games!"

"It is said that more than 1000 million monthly cards have been sold? Is this true?"

Liu Xiong confirmed with a smile: "Yes, "Unbelievable Maze" has been on the market for nearly three weeks, and 1200 million monthly cards have been sold."

Xiao Cai smiled and shouted: "It's really amazing! Congratulations to Mr. Liu, he also achieved amazing commercial success in "Unbelievable Labyrinth", the game is a big hit!"

But Liu Xiong's reaction at this time was beyond Xiaocai's expectation.

Liu Xiong, who was smiling and chatting happily just now, and confirmed that "Unbelievable Labyrinth" is a big sale, his expression changed instantly!
With a bitter face, Liu Xiong said helplessly, "Hey, actually, "Unbelievable Labyrinth" doesn't make money!"

Xiaocai glanced at Liu Xiong in a daze, then turned her head in doubt and asked, "Selling 1200 million monthly cards in three weeks doesn't make any money, Mr. Liu is really good at joking..."

And Liu Xiong just said very seriously: "It's true that we don't make money. You see, we are also old friends, so I will settle the score for you."

"Look at our 6 yuan and 10 diamonds."

"118 yuan and 200 diamonds."

"How many diamonds we gave away, you must know Xiaocai, right?"

　Thanks to "Lady Banana" for tipping 10000 starting coins. I haven't received a tip for a long time. There is a little surprise at the beginning of July, thank you!
