Start with the script killing shop

In order to support Principal Peggy's board game promotion strategy, Jiang Qi made a stroke of his pen and contacted Jiang Jun (JC boss's wife), who had not spoken to her for a long time and only maintained a "like" relationship in the circle of friends, and asked her for a copy. List of popular board games in the past two years, I ordered them all in one go.

It didn't cost much.

Except for a few extremely well-made board games, most of them are very cheap compared to the scripts. The cheap ones cost 20 or 30 yuan a set, and the expensive ones cost two to three hundred yuan.

Because Jiang Qi didn't know the situation and couldn't tell the difference between these board games with a price gap of ten times, he planned to play them all with Principal Peggy, and then watch the board games in the Magic Academy series after playing them. At what price should it be set?

Then the employees of the amusement park were surprised to find that their boss seemed to be a little too addicted to board games recently.

I stay in the tavern in Snow Village every day, and play various board games with the bored guests with the rich old foreign lady in Snow Village. Sometimes a set of board games requires too many players for the guests to gather, so Jiang Qi just invites the waiters in the tavern to play together.

Not only can you get paid to play board games, but you can also get up close and personal with your boss, becoming familiar with him and building a closer relationship, which will facilitate your future promotion and salary increase, and lead you to the top of your life.

I play board games for a month.

No way, this stuff is too addictive.

At the amusement park in August, it was not only Jiang Qi who was addicted to board games, but also his sister Jiang Bing and cousin Wen Luo.

As the saying goes, it is not easy to learn well, but it is easy to learn bad things. Under the leadership of Jiang Qi, Jiang Bing, who was originally addicted to mahjong, quickly became addicted to board games.

Now that Jiang Bing is no longer at Vocational High School, the agency and B\u0026B can be safely handed over to the employees below. Like Jiang Qi, he has become a hands-off boss who reads reports regularly.

If it weren't for Qiao Huifang still living at the Vocational High School, she would help Jiang Bing keep an eye on the project every day, check on the rental situation of the house, help manage the personnel, and play a role in supervision and supervision. Bingbing Agency and Bingbing B\u0026B would have been paid by their employees long ago. Sora is bankrupt.

As for Wenluo...

I can only say that the summer vacation of my freshman year without having to look for a job or take exams is quite relaxing and enjoyable.

When Wen Luo was in his senior year of high school, he envied Jiang Wanwan, who was already in college, being able to eat, drink, and play scripts in Jiang Qi's script shop in the name of working as a summer job to help out, and still get a meager monthly salary. Now that Wen Luo has also upgraded to a college student, Jiang Qi's store has been directly upgraded from a script store to an amusement park, with a wider range of entertainment options and more options.

Although he plays board games that are closely related to the script shop every day, and playing board games for 7 hours a day is quite tiring. After the board games are over, he has no energy to play other items in the amusement park, but Wen Luo still expressed that he is very happy.

After all, it costs nothing.

These days, it costs at least thirty or forty to go out to play a board game, not to mention that the venue for playing board games is a tavern in a snow village, so the added value is extremely high.

.

Inside the wooden house No. 1 in Snow Village——

After going to college for a year, Wen Luo lost a lot of weight because the living expenses were not too high and he could not eat, drink and have fun unscrupulously. His round face became so thin that he could gradually see some outlines. He was grabbing a handful of melon seeds like a hamster. Half lying on the sofa in cabin No. 1, I kept eating melon seeds.

"Sister Bing, why are we playing board games in the wooden house today? Didn't we play in the tavern before?" Wen Luo asked curiously.

Jiang Bing grabbed a handful of bulk snacks from the fruit plate containing snacks and fruits that were theoretically only placed on the dining table during the Chinese New Year. He picked out a pack of his favorite spicy dried tofu and said, "It seems to be because of the fun we had today." It’s the last board game set.”

"A set of children's board games for 4 people. It's called The Adventures of Little Bee Buzz. It sounds very childish." Jiang Bing looked disgusted. "Then I say children's board games should not be played at all. Do you remember That children's board game I played last week? Oh my god, it's a nightmare. That's not childish, that's just retarded! Can this kind of board game really be sold? I lost and the game actually asked me to Bark like a puppy!”

"The key thing is that I actually lost 6 times in a row and called 6 times in a row. What a broken game!" Jiang Bing was so angry that he wanted to go out and curse.

Wen Luo said very honestly: "It's very interesting. We think it sounds good."

Jiang Bing:......

Destroy it.

Wen Luo cracked melon seeds quietly for a while, maybe because he was a little full from eating too much, he couldn't sit still and started looking around.

Jiang Bing still maintained his old posture, with his legs on the coffee table and his body lying on the sofa, playing with his mobile phone leisurely. He raised his eyes and asked, "What are you looking at? If you want to eat, go get it from the refrigerator, but you can't order takeout, and you can't." Spend your money."

"No, I'm just surprised that Brother Jiang Qi lets us stay in the cabin. Where are the others?"

Jiang Bing's face was calm: "It's just something that happened at the last minute. Grandma Peggy didn't come either. My brother initially said that he would go out and call Grandma Peggy, but now that neither of them has come, it must be that he has something to deal with at the last minute, etc. Hey, do you want to cast the screen to watch TV?"

"Yes!" Wen Luo nodded excitedly, "There is a TV series my classmates have been recommending me to watch recently. I heard it is very good. Sister Bing, do you want some juice? I'll get it for you!"

"Bring me a coconut, and a bag of potato chips, plain."

"Okay Sister Bing!"

Wen Luo happily became an errand boy.

Two minutes later, the two of them happily watched TV.

On the other side, Jiang Qi did have serious business to attend to.

It's just that the place where he gets down to business is a bit strange.

It's on the wind chime Ferris wheel.

As a ferris wheel with a stacked appearance that can definitely become a place for the male and female protagonists to express their love and confess their love in an idol drama, as if it came out of a fairy tale, the Wind Chime Ferris Wheel has been lined up since its placement.

Queuing is what every popular project should have.

There were only two places left for Jiang Qi to place the wind chime Ferris wheel. One was a corner far away from the original Ferris wheel, and the other was an open space almost adjacent to the Ferris wheel.

Since he had no choice, Jiang Qi simply chose the open space next to the Ferris wheel, so that Fang Jing's favorite Ferris wheel would not be left alone, so he specially found a friend to put next to it to keep him company.

The consequence of having a friend who is 10 times prettier than you is that the original Ferris wheel becomes even more lonely.

There are no customers anymore. I drive around every day, but the carriage is not full. How can I not feel lonely?

The most important thing is that Fang Jing, who once loved him most, also ruthlessly abandoned him.

I want to ask how Jiang Qi knew about this...

When he just jumped in line, he saw Fang Jing waiting in line.

According to Jiang Qi's estimation, Fang Jing would have to wait for half an hour to get on the Wind Chime Ferris Wheel.

As Fang Jing's friend, Jiang Qi originally wanted to open a back door for him and use the green channel to jump in line directly. After all, on this hot day, Fang Jing is still a domineering president. It would be too miserable to secretly come to the amusement park and queue up to ride the Ferris wheel.

Jiang Qi said that riding the Ferris wheel is easy. As long as Fang Jing books a room in Xuecun, Jiang Bing will take Fang Jing with him when he goes to have breakfast on the Wind Chime Ferris wheel tomorrow morning, so that he can enjoy the ride on the Ferris wheel all at once.

Fang Jing wanted to go around as many times as he wanted, and Jiang Qi didn't mind if he wanted to switch from breakfast to lunch.

But Fang Jing has the burden of being the CEO.

Sitting in the Ferris wheel and wind chime-shaped carriage, Jiang Qi thoughtfully sent a message to Fang Jing to ask if he was busy recently and if he was interested in visiting the amusement park. The amusement park recently introduced a super beautiful Ferris wheel. He is sincerely invited. Mr. Fang came to experience it.

As a result, Fang Jing replied to Jiang Qi that he was on a business trip and might not be available during this period. He would definitely accept the invitation and come over after a while.

Coming to an amusement park for a business trip is no different than being the CEO of a media company, and he knows how to make up excuses.

Jiang Qi could only watch Fang Jing lining up under the bright sun in the wind chime carriage.

"The president's burden is killing people." Jiang Qi shook his head and sighed.

"Dingling bell~"

As if to echo Jiang Qi's words, the wind chimes outside the carriage made a clear and pleasant sound.

Principal Peggy sat opposite Jiang Qi with squinted eyes, looking like she was enjoying herself. A gust of breeze blew by, and the wind chimes outside the carriage made a crisp sound again. Principal Peggy looked outside and took out two sets of magic tea sets from her magic pocket, handing one set to Jiang Qi and keeping the other for herself.

The hot black tea slowly emerged from the bottom of the cup, and Jiang Qi took a sip.

Very good, with added sugar.

"This is freshly brewed black tea this morning, not the leftovers from yesterday." Peggy explained with a smile.

Jiang Qi:?

So he drank leftover black tea before?

"Principal Peggy, you said you wanted to talk about board games, why did you want to talk specifically on the Wind Chime Ferris Wheel? Couldn't we just talk in your wooden house?" Jiang Qi asked.

Peggy finished a cup of tea in small sips, put the tea set back into the magic pocket, and said, "Because I want to ride the Ferris wheel today."

“The Wind Chime Ferris Wheel is so popular, there are queues every day, from morning to night. Although I have been to the Wind Chime Ferris Wheel during breakfast time specially opened for Miss Jiang Bing several times, I have never experienced it during business hours. .”

"It's really extraordinary. It feels completely different when there are people lining up below and when there is no one queuing up below."

Jiang Qi held the teacup and didn't know what to say for a while.

It can only be said that Principal Peggy really doesn’t care about the art of language when she is not facing investors.

Jiang Qi also quickly drank the black tea, returned the tea set to Principal Peggy, and sat upright: "So what is the board game you are talking about about?"

Principal Peggy also put on a serious expression and said, "After experiencing different types of board games for so long, Mr. Jiang Qi, haven't you discovered some of the characteristics of board games?"

"Characteristics?" Jiang Qi thought for a while, "I can feel some of them."

"You must get started quickly and the gameplay must be simple. If you have to study for more than ten minutes and half an hour just to read the rules, you will be tired before you even start playing."

Principal Peggy nodded in agreement.

"Then... although the gameplay needs to be simple, it only looks simple, and the content must be rich."

"It's like Monopoly. It's very easy to get started, and the gameplay seems very simple, just roll the dice and buy land. But in fact it has a lot of content, you can borrow money, you can trade with each other, and you can go to jail. There will be an updated version later. Although more rich content has been added, I feel that many versions are not as fun as the original version.”

"Yes, as a board game from the last century, there is a reason why Monopoly has remained popular for so long." Principal Peggy agreed.

"The rest... are my personal opinions." Jiang Qi smiled sheepishly, "Of all the board games, my favorite is Monopoly, which is mainly about throwing dice and is slightly less social. board game."

"I don't really like werewolf killings, which are very social. When I was a villager, I couldn't tell who was a werewolf. When I was a werewolf, I couldn't think of what lies to make up. Things can suddenly pop into my head. There are several versions of lies, but each version will be quickly rejected by me, always feeling unsatisfactory."

"War strategy board games are too big. I don't know if it's because of the problems with the two I bought. They feel a bit difficult, and the time is too long. It's too tiring."

"Puzzle-type games, especially those that test logical thinking and calculation skills, are too tiring to play. I think Teacher John may prefer this type."

"Anyway, after playing so much, I still like games like Monopoly. When I'm lucky, I rely on luck, and when I'm not, I rely on my brain. It's more entertaining, less social, and more about trading, auctioning, and construction. I I think it's okay." Jiang Qi finished.

To put it bluntly, Jiang Qi just doesn’t like social games very much, which is why he has been running a script killing shop for so long but has never played a few serious games——

He doesn't like playing with strangers.

Yan Huaiyou is actually the same, so Xuncheng cast them as two completely amateur script-killing shop owners who never wrote a script.

Principal Peggy nodded: "I also discovered that Mr. Jiang Qi, although you are very good at lying, you don't like unsatisfactory lies."

"But your sister, Miss Jiang Bing, likes role-playing social deception games very much. Mr. Wenluo feels that he likes all kinds of games."

"He didn't play much. He failed the English class last semester and my aunt reduced his living expenses. Now one month's living expenses are probably enough for his daily life. He can only charge a monthly card at most. He can't even think about going out to play board games. , the child is so suffocated." Jiang Qi complained.

The Ferris wheel rises to its highest point.

The bright sunlight shines into the Ferris wheel through the window, and because of the angle, Principal Peggy's head of silver hair shines like shining silverware.

Principal Peggy said slowly: "So Mr. Jiang Qi, you have actually discovered that although there are many different types of board games, none of them are suitable for all players."

"Of course, nothing can win everyone's love, not even money. There are still people who think that some currencies have low face values ​​and prefer those with higher face values."

"Mr. Jiang Qi, what do you think is the biggest feature of the Incredible Magic Academy if it is developed into a board game?"

The biggest feature?

Jiang Qi was confused by this question. The board game had not yet been developed. He didn't even know what type of board game it was, so how could he know its biggest features.

Principal Peggy asked this question a little too early.

Jiang Qi looked at Principal Peggy's sparkling hair and her confident smile, and felt that she seemed sure that she must know.

Suddenly, an idea came to me.

Jiang Qi seems to have realized it.

"You mean... the background of the story?"

"That's right." Principal Peggy smiled slightly, "Not every board game has a unique story background, but a complete story background is undoubtedly a bonus. A complete and unique story background can allow players to better lead the game. Participation can make the game more special and diverse."

"The magical background itself is fascinating."

"So have you decided which direction you want to design the board game?" Jiang Qi asked.

"Why do we have to choose a direction?" Principal Peggy asked back. "The script of The Incredible Magic Academy only mentions the school, but Lillian, Zero, and I are all from the Magic Continent."

"We know everything about the Magic Continent, its history, its culture, all the countries, and all the races."

"Why can't we design all types of board games with the Magic Academy as the starting point and center?"

Jiang Qi was stunned.

"We can't design a board game that everyone likes, but we can design all types of board games that everyone likes!" Principal Peggy said with a smile, "Anyway, Zero and Lily and I An doesn’t have to sleep. After playing so many board games, I found that the gameplay and core are almost the same.”

"Copy it everywhere, and a month will be enough for us to figure it out."

"As long as the quantity is large enough, there will always be a product that will be popular." Principal Peggy said that if you can't compete in terms of quality, then compare quantity.

Released 20 board games in one go, all the way to the death.

"This copy..." Jiang Qi hesitated.

"Don't worry." Principal Peggy said, "I'm a professional in this area. I definitely won't break the law. Even if I break the law, the other party won't win."

Jiang Qi:......

Principal Peggy is like this even if there are legal constraints. It is hard for Jiang Qi to imagine what else Principal Peggy can do if the society he lives in is a disorderly society without legal constraints.

"Is one month enough?" Jiang Qi could only choose to care about this. "It's only the end of August. This year's Autumn Exhibition is said to be very late and won't start until the end of October. There's no need to rush for two months."

"Don't worry." Principal Peggy said confidently, "One month is enough time. Zero is good at plagiarism without being discovered. Many of his magic products are plagiarisms from other companies, but the magic he discovered There are very few factories, so just copy the core and change something else.”

"Zero is very professional."

"Ha." A familiar snort came from the window.

Jiang Qi turned around and found that it was Teacher Ling.

Jiang Qi stretched out his hand and awkwardly greeted Teacher Ling.

"Teacher Zero..."

"You're flying so high today."
