At this moment, Jane also yawned and walked into the living room.
After she built the Sea Moth last night, the style of gameplay completely deviated. Later, she focused on sailing the ship, with various hairpin bends, 360-degree rotations in place, tricks, and flying.
So much fun that she forgot to advance the plot.
The two sat down and ate breakfast together again.
"Ethan, I realized you really are a genius. How did you develop this game? It's amazing!!!"
While chewing her breakfast, Jane expressed her sincere admiration to Ethan.
She had thought Ethan was impressive before, but after playing yesterday, she found that she still underestimated her younger brother.
Ethan smiled slightly and pointed to his forehead: "I'm sorry, mortals don't understand the wisdom of geniuses."
"Cut!" Jane rolled her eyes and suddenly remembered another thing: "Hey, by the way, Ethan, how many Leviathans are there in this game? Where are they all located?"
"Have you encountered a Leviathan?" Ethan asked in return.
"Yes," Jane nodded. "I met the island Leviathan! Wow, that thing is really big, I even played on its back for a while..."
"Oh, reefback fish, that should be the most common Leviathan in this game," Ethan smiled. "There are quite a lot of Leviathans in this game, but where they are distributed is completely random."
"It's random..." Jane suddenly frowned, realizing it was more difficult to avoid them suddenly.
"Then... how many of these Leviathans are ferocious carnivores?" Jane asked anxiously again.
Ethan smiled and raised a finger.
"Only one?" Jane's eyes lit up.
"Except for reefback fish," Ethan replied.
Jane:
"I find that you really want players to die," she said with a faint voice.
"What do you mean by die? Since you're looking for excitement, you have to go all the way!" Ethan spread his hands.
"You are so cheeky!!!" Jane also understood the reference to "The Temptation of Returning to the Village" and responded immediately.
The two chatted while eating breakfast, and Jane also took out her phone and browsed social media, only to find that there were many mentions and some special netizens among them.
"Sisters, can you ask [New World] if the woman in cabin 2 can be saved? I restarted several times, just to save her, but haven't been able to. Is it my problem or the game's design? It's driving me crazy!!"
There was also a picture below, showing the in-game screen with the player in a seaweed vine, Escape Pod 2 at the bottom, and a hideous sea crocodile next to it.
And this post was released by a user named "Fengwei," who everyone is familiar with... It's David Xie.
The bottom of this post was also very lively:
Hang Li: "David, I also tried to save that woman a few times, but it doesn't work!"
Mia Yang: "I feel that this is the malicious intent of the developer, and it can't be saved. Just want to make players feel guilty."
"Also, ask if this game can be played online. It's too scary to play alone, but the scenery of the alien planet is too beautiful, and I don't want to give up!!!"
Chris Chen: "Based on the developer's last game 'Silent Hill,' it's impossible for you to connect online, just to scare you!"
In addition to these few popular comments, there were also tens of thousands of netizens commenting below, with a large number of netizens who are both fans and players of "Deep Sea Trek" expressing their excitement!!!
"Ethan, Ethan, David Xie is tagging me, asking about the game's situation!!!" Seeing this post, Jane also shouted: "There are messages from Mia Yang and Chris Chen below..."
"Wait a minute, how many stars are playing Deep Sea Trek..."
Jane hurriedly searched using star names and "Deep Sea Trek" as keywords.
After some searching, she suddenly found that quite a few people were playing!
Kai Wang, Charlie Deng, Kun Kun, Tiffany Yang, etc., all posted screenshots of themselves playing the game, and each of them raved about "Deep Sea Trek"!!!
"Oh my God, so many celebrities..." Jane muttered to herself, really not expecting it.
"Calm down," Ethan still looked calm. "Celebrities are people too, so is it weird that they play games?"
The game developed by Ethan is already considered a next-generation product. The quality of the graphics and the sense of interaction really surpass other games. It's not uncommon to attract stars to play.
After all, who wouldn't want to go to an alien planet to have a good time!
However, when it comes to celebrities, Ethan suddenly thought of a creative idea.
If his current game engine is used in TV movies, it seems very feasible.
Anyway, there are so many green-screen dramas now, and the special effects are still fake.
With his Unreal Engine, these things would never happen. The actors could perform casually on the green screen, and everything else, including backgrounds and props, would rely on post-production images to ensure that the audience couldn't see it.
The main thing is realism.
Of course, it's just an idea, and right now Ethan still wants to focus on the game.
"Then Ethan, with David Xie tagging me, should I answer it?" Jane asked again. "I think I can respond. Under his leadership, many netizens are now leaving messages on my social media asking this question."
Ethan nodded: "Then respond."
"How should I respond?"
"You say it could be saved."
"Okay!" Jane was about to type, but she suddenly paused: "Wait a minute, Ethan, you mean... the woman in cabin 2 can really be rescued?!"
Ethan nodded.
"Then why didn't you say so sooner!!!" Jane slapped her thigh. "If I had known, I would have started a new game to save her!!!"
The death of the woman in cabin 2 has always been a hurdle for Jane. She also thought it was a deliberate game setting by Ethan to shock the players.
After all, Ethan has been playing with players' emotions like this before.

But she didn't expect that her own brother even had a backup plan!
"Don't dream, it's very difficult to save that woman," Ethan replied with a smile. "It's a waste of time to start a new game; you can't succeed."
"Is that so, okay..." After hearing Ethan say this, Jane felt a little better.
After a while, Jane posted:
"Cough, just communicated with the [New World] studio, the woman in cabin 2 can be rescued, but it's very difficult, I advise all players who want to save her to give up."
As soon as the post was released, the bottom instantly exploded:
"Haha, those who said before that the game set the woman in cabin 2 to die are proven wrong, you can save her!!!"
"Hey... can she really be saved?"
"But I feel that time is so short that it can't be saved..."
"It's been said that it's very difficult!"
"Is it because we aren't skilled enough in swimming?"
"Cough, Jane, can [New World] reveal how to save her?"
For these comments, Ethan just smiled. Revealing it is impossible, as the woman in cabin 2 is actually an easter egg set by him, and it's not easy to decode this easter egg!
After breakfast, Ethan wondered if he should go back to his bedroom to catch up on some sleep. At this moment, he received a call from the bank.
Today is not only an exciting day for players but also an exciting day for a central bank in the capital city.
In the morning, just after the president came to work in the bank, the vice president rushed into the office with excitement and told him shocking news.
From eight o'clock last night, a large amount of funds suddenly poured into an ordinary account opened in their bank.
Moreover, the flow of funds came in waves, one after another, and it had never been interrupted. The current amount had exceeded 400 million!!!
You must know that this is not a plot from a fiction story. It's already very impressive to have tens of millions of transfers in an account.
These are typically public documents companies use to transfer money, stored today and transferred tomorrow.
And this person named Ethan is a personal account holder. He's not affiliated with any company, and if we check his turnover in previous years, they are all within 100,000. He's never had such an exaggerated amount.
The sudden transfer of such a large sum of money really surprised and delighted them.
The happy thing is that the bank's performance this year will likely improve significantly, but the surprise is that they fear what kind of dirty money this is, and their bank might not be able to keep it.
After all, this is too unreasonable. Bank accounts are completely different for public and private accounts. The interest rate alone varies greatly. Who would put so much money into a personal account?
Who is this mysterious boss?!
So much money in one personal account!
The president immediately and nervously checked the source of the funds himself.
When he discovered that the recipients of these funds were all from overseas steam platforms, the president immediately understood!
To be able to achieve the position of president, he naturally has to be well-informed.
What is the hottest news in the world these days? [New World] Studio's "Deep Sea Trek" is on the shelves!
Even his son played this game all night yesterday.
Thinking of this, he quickly took out his mobile phone and searched. The release date of "Deep Sea Trek" was at eight o'clock last night.
It is very close to the arrival date and time of the first money in this account.
"So that's the case, I'll say who's so powerful! It's the famous [New World] studio!"
The president suddenly realized.
[New World], currently a leader in the game industry, the games it produces have occupied the most popular searches for many days in a row.
It's said that major companies have been searching for clues about this studio, but haven't been able to find it.
Tsk tsk, I didn't expect to find it myself.
This is a super VIP customer!
Gotta catch it!!!
Thinking of this, he personally called Ethan.
"Hello, is this Mr. Ethan?"
"Yes," a short and powerful answer came from the other side, the voice clear and young.
"I'm from the Bank of China. I'm James Liang, President of the Bank of China. Where do you live now? We would like to visit and ask questions about the funds in your account."
James decided to visit Ethan in person, and by the way, he would send some gifts to this man, and keep the money in the bank before talking!!!
"It's not necessary," Ethan refused. "I know what you mean, you want me to keep the money in your bank and not move it away, right? Don't worry, I don't plan to move it for now."
"Thank you so much!!!" James said with a smile on his face when he heard this. "In order to show my intentions..."
.....
"Stop!" His words were interrupted by Ethan again: "You don't need to give me gifts, the only requirement is not to reveal my identity to anyone or any company. Okay?"
"Okay, okay! I promise not to tell anyone!!!" James naturally agreed in one breath, he knew very well that Ethan was talking about the [New World] studio.
"OK, that's it." After that, Ethan hung up the phone first.
Listening to the beeping sound in the receiver, James was stunned. Are all the masters today so self-willed?
In any case, he was still quite happy in his heart, and it seems that this gentleman should be kept.
As for the request made by Ethan... nonsense, what is such a request compared to the hundreds of millions in the bank!
He sure did!
Even if his own father came to ask, he would not say it!
