Chapter 306: Chapter 306 Gravure idols

After getting “Star Map”, Gao Shu was so shocked that he felt dizzy for the entire afternoon. Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by this Hu Tu studio

This game was completely different from some previous casual games. This masterpiece was so well-made that it was jaw-dropping. No wonder this production team would be named by the emperor, Zhou Yu, and also had its own logo in the game.

From the list of staff, although there was no big change, there were some people who he hadn’t seen before. It seemed that because of the arrival of these people, the production ability of the Taoist team has increased to another level. But how did Zhou Yu find those talented people so quickly?

Seeing this kind of game, other companies would only be envious and want to hire the people in Hu Tu studio even more.

However, even if they were envious and wanted to hire them, it was still useless. Because until now, no one was able to find those people, whoever joined Zhou Yu’s studio, would disappear without a trace as if they had never appeared in this world before. Such a strange phenomenon has now become a well-known urban legend.

Well, there was also one exception to this, that was, the people in the Qin Zhuan studio, and recently they made an animation called Zhenbian Bedtime Stories. However, people online said that this studio was a dummy studio, a fake studio, and the reason why they said that was the gap between their production levels was too big.

It made Gao Shu wonder if Zhou Yu would open up a fake Hu Tu studio too. But if he really did, probably many people would sign up for it. Once Star Map was released, the reputation of Zhou Yu would definitely be off the chart. At that time, his emperor title definitely wouldn’t be questioned by anyone anymore. But most importantly, Gao Shu heard that the benefit of Qin Zhuan studio was quite high, so the benefit that the people in Hu Tu studio get would definitely not be bad as well.

Zhou Yu was not interested in Gao Shu’s evaluation of “Star Map”. The main purpose of making this game was to fulfill his childhood dream. In terms of other reasons such as making money and fame, to be honest, they were actually not as important as fulfilling his dream.

After the game was cleared, Zhou Yu wanted to try to produce the cards in Star Map.

Then he encountered a problem.

The owner of the electrical appliance factory did not accept the order and shook his head and said, “my lord, the requirements for producing those cards are very high, and the card needs to be enchanted, otherwise, it cannot be produced.”

It turned out that the previous Water Margin cards weren’t that difficult to make. After all, they were just some holographic pictures, so it could be easily produced. But this star card contained various data such as expressions, actions, damage stats, injuries stats, etc., so it was not so easy to make.

The so-called enchantment was that each card needed an idol to perform various actions for it, so the cards would store that information and gain enough intelligence. To put it bluntly, Zhou Yu needed to produce something like idol photobooks.

This was also an important job for idols. With the help of a makeup artist, each idol could take photo shoots for ten cards a day. If they worked too much, their mood would become worse, affecting their five attributes, so it could not exceed this amount.

If it was just for fun, the idols of Luhua City were sufficient for this job, but if Zhou Yu wanted to make this game popular, he would need to gather a large number of wandering idols to take photoshoots. The requirement for this job was not high, so even if it was the wandering idols had poor attributes, they could also do it.

But at the moment, Zhou Yu just wanted to have some fun for himself. After all, he still could not produce any relevant “tools” at the moment. And even if he was able to create all the relevant tools, he also did not plan to sell them. At most, he would keep it inside the amusement park and so the visitors of the amusement park could also play it.

Even if Zhou Yu was stupid, he could also tell that this kind of card game was definitely a black technology in the real world. In fact, it was not that he did not have the technology to produce it. It was actually that he hadn’t reached a level that he could commercialize it. If he relied on the electrical appliance factory to produce Star Map Cards so he could sell them, it would require too many materials. It was not something that Luhua city was able to provide at the moment.

Unless he could give the game to other technology companies in real life to study it and then reproduce this technology in real life.

But this method had two major drawbacks. First of all, Zhou Yu did not know whether the technology contained in the Star Map could be reproduced. Maybe it was like the projector “Nightmare”, which was mainly powered by something from the ACG world, then it would be useless to study it.

And another drawback was that even if this technology could be reverse engineered, where could he find the technology company that he could trust? If the technology was leaked or stolen, the consequence would be unimaginable.

Based on the above considerations, Zhou Yu felt that games like Star Map were better to be kept in the amusement park. It was also very interesting to have a card battleground or something like a card battle kingdom in the park in the future.

Anyway, it was time to start taking photos.

With the help of the black magic makeup artist Sato Yuna, the makeup work was still very easy, and the young cameraman Qi Yulin was temporarily used as the photographer for the shooting. Originally, this work required a professional photographer, but because the enchanted photo was not that technical, the young cameraman could also do it. But in the future, if he needed to produce some good photo books, he would need to find a real professional photographer.

Before the backdrop, little Muli and other idols were transformed into various star fairies after makeup and struck many different poses for shooting. The scene looked like the real photoshoot.

Gathering the idols of Luhua City, in one day, Zhou Yu could get fifty Star Map cards, which was actually not bad. With this speed, after a week or two, he would be able to produce a good deck of cards.

However, what Zhou Yu did not expect was that the probability of producing the high-level card was really low. Even though he could get fifty cards a day, he still could not get a single one high-level card after two weeks! The best one he got was a six-star fantasy butterfly, and the rest of the cards he had ranged from one to four stars, and a small number of trap cards and magic cards.

When Zhou Yu played other people’s games in the past, he would always be tricked by the probability mechanism in other people’s games. But now he had his own game, he was still tricked by the damn probably mechanism. Probably, he would never be able to get rid of this thing.

Anyway, he could only play with those low-level cards first.

After selecting fifty cards from several hundreds of cards that had been produced, Zhou Yu found another tragic reality.

Without Star Map Disc, this game couldn’t be played at all.

Although the monsters in the cards could indeed be summoned, and he just needed to swipe the card with his hand, and then a lifelike holographic projection of the monster would appear.

The holographic projection this time was obviously much better than the Water Margin cards. The fairies and monsters’ movements and expressions were much richer. Although they still could not talk to the player, they would still react if Zhou Yu reached out his hand. If the intimacy was high, the fairies would act cute in front of players, and if it was low, they would show cold faces and be wary of the players.

However, Zhou Yu didn’t understand this intimacy setting and didn’t know how to increase it.
