At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

Gu Yu and his elder brothers gathered around two computers.

"This is the project development report. Laosan and I studied it all morning and finally decided on the development plan. We decided to use Python and Selenium testing tools to develop this Life Restart Simulator," said Yu Shutong as he opened a Word document on Qin Shan's laptop and handed it over to Gu Yu.

He then opened a web application on his own computer, which displayed the already created Demo (prototype).

Gu Yu glanced over the development ideas in the report, then shifted his focus to the Demo.

It was a text-based program interface with a dark cyan background, featuring ten text selection boxes, each labeled with a corresponding attribute.

Please choose three from the following attributes

[Oath (You shall not deal with drugs and gambling)]

[Red Fate (+3 charisma, -2 constitution)]

[Anti-fraud Elite (You will not be deceived)]

[Premature Birth (-3 constitution)]

[Rich Second Generation (+1 intelligence, +2 constitution, +1 charisma, +5 family background)]

[Heavenly System (+10 to all attributes)]

[Place Holder]

[...]

Ten attributes were listed, with a button below them [Selection Complete]

Gu Yu chose Oath, Rich Second Generation, and Heavenly System, then clicked the button.

He was immediately taken to the attribute distribution page, with four attributes available—charisma, intelligence, constitution, family background—and 20 initial attribute points to distribute freely.

Another button [Restart Life Now!] was below.

Evenly distributing five attribute points, Gu Yu clicked to restart, and the first message automatically generated:

[Age 0: You were born, a boy, a Rich Second Generation]

[Age 1: You were killed by your elder brother fighting for the family property]

"..."

Gu Yu's hand froze on the mouse, a vein throbbing on his forehead.

For a moment, seeing "himself" die so young, he wanted to smash the computer in front of him!

"Damn! How could such a good start end up like this?"

Gu Yu decided to try again and clicked refresh, but the interface crashed. He looked puzzledly towards Yu Laoer.

Yu Shutong scratched his head awkwardly and quickly explained, "Don't worry, this is just a test Demo, many codes and tests have not been deployed!"

Gu Yu reluctantly released the mouse.

Indeed, the development report was just written, the program couldn't possibly be ready so quickly.

However, through this experience, he had roughly understood the core of this game.

It involved selecting three initial random conditions, then distributing initial attributes, and based on these conditions, randomly matching corresponding plots from the database.

Of course, this random wasn't about senseless distribution.

Instead, there was a general mainline algorithm that could give players a relatively reasonable growth process and ending.

Writing the program was not difficult, but designing the plot was the hardest part.

To ensure high playability of the game, lots of event plots needed to be written!

Otherwise, it was very easy to encounter a bug where everyone chose different starts but experienced the same events and outcomes!

The workload of coding was not large, and actually deploying online was not difficult, but writing events was troublesome!

"I can write the program in at most three days, but I really don't know where to start with the game's plot design!"

Yu Laoer took on the task of programming, then tossed the task of game planning to Gu Yu and Qin Shan.

Gu Yu also shook his head; he really didn't know how to solve this aspect!

As for story structure and creation, he had never learned about it before.

There was also no such skill available for him to use in the system.

Just as Gu Yu and Yu Shutong had both fallen silent, Qin Shan suddenly started speaking hesitantly.

"That... about the plot design, how about I take care of it? Actually... there's something I've never told you guys, I'm also an online novel author... so I do have some experience in this area!"

"???"

Gu Yu and Yu Laoer were full of question marks.

"No way! Laosan, you actually have such a hidden identity?"

The two immediately became interested and wanted to take a peek at Qin Shan's great work.

"What's the name of the book?"

"What genre is your writing?"

Qin Shan was awkwardly scratching his head, didn't even bother explaining, and just pulled out his phone and opened an app called Writer's Assistant.

Gu Yu leaned over to see and spotted a book in the backend called "I Really Want to Hit the Streets," a city-themed novel first published on the Qidian Website!

The backend was continuously popping up with various messages of votes, rewards, and comments.

"Epic! Laosan, 'Ice and Fire Six Realms! Just by the name, you sound like a great author! And these backend messages keep popping up non-stop!"

"Let me see what they're commenting on?"

Just as Gu Yu opened the comments, Qin Shan quickly snatched the phone back. Read now on m_vl_em_p_yr

But he had already seen them.

[The author is too weak! Can't even last three minutes!]

"Hahahaha! Laosan, why do all your readers say you're short! Aren't your updates powerful enough?"

Gu Yu laughed his head off, while Qin Shan stood there embarrassed, stammering, "I work hard every day to squeeze in time for writing! And they still keep rushing me! It's really annoying!"

"So how much do you update each day?"

Yu Laoer asked out of curiosity.

"2000!"

As the topic turned to updates, Qin Shan's embarrassment disappeared, replaced by a face full of pride!

Gu Yu: "..."

Qin Shan: "..."

The conversation moved on, and since Qin Laosan had revealed his identity, they decided to let him handle the game's plot planning.

"Three thousand different event segments in one week's time!? Are you guys pure evil, wanting my life?"

"Each segment about twenty words, three thousand! That's sixty thousand words! Wuuuu, I can't even write that many words in a month for my book!"

Qin Shan wanted to cry without tears, somewhat regretting he had revealed his identity as an online novel author.

Gu Yu patted his shoulder and offered some consolation, "Laosan! Believe in yourself! You can do it! I'll reward your book!"

Yu Laoer also nodded, "That's right! Laosan! No rest for the competent!"

Seeing both of them saying so, Qin Shan had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept.

"What about you? Laoer and I will handle the coding and planning, what will Laosi do?"

He suddenly realized that all tasks were assigned, and Laosi hadn't picked up any tasks yet!?

Seeing Laosan eager to assign him tasks, Gu Yu's expression immediately turned serious.

He seriously said, "Laosan, this is my company, right? I'm the boss, right? Have you ever seen a boss do the work? So you understand, right!?"

"Underst... wait, no! I understand nothing! You just want to be a hands-off manager!"

Qin Shan instinctively responded, but immediately realized something was off.

Yu Shutong also strongly nodded his head!

Laosi brought them in to do the work while he played the hands-off manager, which he couldn't accept!

"Wuuuu! Laosan! Laoer! You actually think I'm that kind of person! It seems, I don't even need to pay a salary! Wuuuu~"

Gu Yu clasped his chest, looking utterly heartbroken.

"There's a salary!??"

Qin Shan and Yu Shutong's eyes both lit up at once.
