"And there are transmog effects! Players will do anything to make their weapons glow."
"Hehehe..."
When it comes to robbing, oh no, tricking people into spending money, oh no, encouraging them to spend money, the designers at the Dragon Slayer Studio have reached a level of mastery.
Why is today's meeting about slaying dragons in this style?
"Ahhhhh, my idol is so handsome! His full-body red carpet look is trending on social media."
"Hey, are you trying out XO perfume? I heard it's really suitable for everyday work, we're considering having the female lead use it."
"Oh dear, they're getting a divorce again. That green tea bitch is no good enough for my husband."
"That ox is a flop in the industry, yet he still has the nerve to come to my area and try to promote himself in a sarcastic way."
...
Mingyan sat silently in the head seat, looking at the group of burly men, and slowly typed a "?".
205. Love Across Time and Space
The new game featuring the Dragon Slayer Sword already has a name ready: "Love Across Time".
—Hmm, it has the feel of a beautiful, crystal-clear romantic soap opera.
Mingyan flipped through their plot proposal while revealing an expression of unbearable disapproval.
The story background of "Love Across Time and Space" is as follows:
The female protagonist, Xiao Wei, was originally a fashion model (inherited from the plot of "Cloud Dreams of Clothes"). She is pretty and charming, with a quirky personality and a strong sense of curiosity.
One day, she was hit on the head by a time-space correction system that fell from the sky, binding her with the identity of a "time-space corrector" and from then on she began to travel through different points in time to save mission targets.
The way to save them is as follows:
The female protagonist has an ability to condense her interactions with mission targets into cards called "longing".
When faced with a crisis, the female protagonist can summon the "Longing Card." As long as the card score is high enough, she can defeat the crisis and return to a point in time before the crisis occurred.
So, this is still a gacha game.
Yes, it's a gacha game that takes place across various time periods.
Of course, while it's called "various time and space," it actually only refers to four worlds: ancient, modern, future, and fantasy.
In every world, the designers have prepared a "royal" handsome man.
In the ancient world: He is a cold and ruthless handsome prince, whose immense power is attracted to a courtesan.
In the modern world: He is a domineering and devoted billionaire CEO who wakes up every day in an 800-square-meter bed, but cannot fill the emptiness in his heart.
In the future world: He is the only five-star general in the entire universe. He was seriously injured in an accident and was saved by a mysterious woman.
Fantasy World: He is an incomparably handsome elf prince, who is detached from worldly affairs, yet he is drawn into the mortal realm by a mortal woman.

At this moment, Mingyan almost thought he was the only straight man in the entire conference room.
Because the other male designers actually understood exactly what made this kind of storyline so appealing.
The designers excitedly raised their fists:
"Every world has its own adorable moments, tsk tsk tsk..."
"After the final mission is completed, let them all travel to the female lead's world and create a chaotic battlefield!"
"A battlefield of carnage!"
"Strive hard for a battlefield of carnage!"
Mingyan always felt that he was out of place among them because he wasn't twisted enough...
Mingyan continued flipping through the design drafts and quickly finished reading the main storyline.
Um……
The main plot of "Love Across Time" can be summarized as follows: getting to know each other, falling in love, having conflicts, making up, falling in love again, having conflicts again, making up, falling in love again, breaking up again, making up, falling in love again, falling in love again...
An automaton that loops indefinitely.
After putting down the main storyline, Mingyan asked, "Can this model be expanded indefinitely?"
The muscular male designers: "Yeah, yeah, writing two million words is no problem."
Ming Yan: "...Would female gamers really enjoy watching this kind of storyline? Wouldn't they find it too repetitive?"
The designers smiled and said, "No, they won't. We just need to use a different kind of sweetness every time they're in a relationship."
"Yes. This time it was a confession in a hot air balloon 500 miles in the sky, next time we can arrange it in a submarine 500 miles underwater, and the time after that we can arrange it in a space station."
"You have to understand that female gamers and sleazy men have different needs. All this fighting and killing is too inelegant. What we want is a feeling, an experience, a thrilling experience."
"Yes, yes, this time it's 'I like you,' next time it's 'I love you.'"
"As long as our husbands are handsome enough, we absolutely don't mind being confessed to a few more times. It would be even better if we could get more CG images with different backgrounds and angles, hehehehe..."
