During the game, Xiao Mu felt the inconvenience of the game.
The first problem was with the night. As soon as night fell, he became blind, and had to use the in-game item, a candle, otherwise he could only rely on sound to locate.
Xiao Mu turned his head and thought, what was he doing? He was an engineer. Writing code was his profession. Based on the game, writing a piece of code to solve this problem was not a big deal.
Moreover, Xiao Mu had a good friend who studied law, and he specifically consulted his lawyer friend.
"Xiao Wang, I have a question. If I create a small program to solve my in-game problems and implement some features, is it illegal?"
Xiao Mu's question completely baffled Xiao Wang. What was going on?
"Xiao Mu, don't rush. Speak slowly. I don't understand what you mean."
"It's like this. Do you play Legend?" Xiao Mu asked directly.
"Yeah, I play when I'm feeling annoyed. I feel much better after playing. It's just that you have to fight for everything in the game, and the night vision is too poor. I often make mistakes at night," Xiao Wang complained endlessly. The game was fun, but he often died, creating a vicious cycle.
Hearing Xiao Wang's complaints, Xiao Mu smiled. "I can solve these problems by writing a small program, like no need for candles or automatic pickup functions. We can do all of that."
"Holy cow! Are you kidding me? Is that possible? I didn't study much, don't fool me," Xiao Wang was a little disbelieving.
"No problem. Trust our technology. We are outstanding technical talents!" Xiao Mu said confidently.
"Then hurry up and make one, brother. My gaming happiness depends on you!" Xiao Wang said with great anticipation.
"Wait a minute, I mainly want to ask if this is illegal? We can't do illegal things. I feel this is a bit unfair to the game development company!" Xiao Mu expressed his concerns.
Mainly, Xiao Mu had considered it from the perspective of the game developers. If he were a game developer, he certainly wouldn't want such small programs to appear, as it would lead to extreme unfairness in the game.
But he desperately needed it now, so he wanted to ask his good friend, the lawyer Xiao Wang.
Lawyer Xiao Wang was taken aback: "This doesn't seem illegal. The law has no provisions for game aids, and besides, this is a civil act. What is not prohibited by law is permitted. Trust me, I'm a professional in this area. Just saying, brother, make one for me when you're done, so I can try it out!"
Hearing Lawyer Xiao Wang's answer, Xiao Mu felt at ease. Since that was the case, he would make one to make his gaming experience more relaxed.
Out of consideration for game fairness, Xiao Mu did not add too many features, only the no-candle and automatic pickup functions.
For Xiao Mu, this small program was as easy as Zhang Fei eating mung beans, a piece of cake.
He finished it in just one evening and tried it at the internet café. It was absolutely amazing!
People watching behind him were extremely surprised by Xiao Mu's Legend game screen.
"Buddy, what's going on with you? Everyone else's game screen is dark at night, why aren't you using candles?"
"Buddy, this is awesome. The dropped equipment is automatically picked up. This is very useful."
"Buddy, what is this? Let me use it, I'll pay you."
"Yeah, how much is this? I want one too!"
"Give me one."
Xiao Mu was stunned. He was just a technical engineer and had never experienced such a sales scene.
Besides, he wrote this small program only for the convenience of himself and Lawyer Xiao Wang, and had no intention of selling it.
He never expected people at the internet café to offer money to buy his small program. Life is full of unexpected events, and he never thought he would encounter something like this.
"Everyone, please wait a moment. I need to ask my friend a question!"
Xiao Mu quickly contacted Lawyer Xiao Wang: "Wang, it's an emergency! Someone wants to buy my auxiliary small program. Should I sell it? How much should I sell it for?"
Lawyer Xiao Wang replied at lightning speed: "Not making money when you can is being a scoundrel. Besides, the criminal law doesn't prohibit you, and civil law doesn't explicitly prohibit it. You absolutely can, though it's a bit unethical."
Hearing Lawyer Xiao Wang's reply, Xiao Mu felt confident.
"Take your time, don't rush. Twenty yuan per copy!" Get the money first. This is an era where people judge success by wealth, not by how it's earned. Selling a small program is not illegal, as Lawyer Xiao Wang said.
When people heard Xiao Mu's words, they rushed forward.
The internet café owner was stunned. Good heavens, this young man was getting rich! He was even richer than the owner.
The owner roughly calculated. He had eighty machines, and there were about a hundred people in the internet café. More than eighty of them went to Xiao Mu to buy the small program.
This means that in this short period, the young man earned nearly two thousand yuan. This money came in too fast.
It felt easier than robbing a bank. No, he had to get involved in this business.
"Brother, you're doing quite well now, aren't you?" The owner smiled and handed Xiao Mu a cigarette. Xiao Mu took it and took a deep drag.
"Boss, what's up?"
"This kind of brother, I see you work. You only come here to play games in the evening. I see your auxiliary small program is selling well. Why don't I help you sell it?" The owner said with a smile, making a suggestion.
Xiao Mu was completely stunned. He hadn't even recovered from the thrill of making money when he didn't expect the boss to come over and ask for cooperation.
"Boss, how do you want to sell it?"
"How long can this be used?"
"Forever. If the game updates, I can also update it."
"How about this, brother? You're selling it for twenty yuan per copy, right? I plan to sell it for thirty yuan per copy, and I'll still give you twenty yuan. How about it?" The owner directly stated his plan, seeing if Xiao Mu would agree.
Xiao Mu hesitated. He couldn't resist the temptation of money. Xiao Mu had never thought of making money by selling small programs.
But the nearly two thousand yuan in his hand clearly reminded him that this was real, not a dream. People were actually paying money for his small program.
If that was the case, then letting the boss sell it wouldn't be bad, and he could make money while lying down.
"Boss, okay, I agree. But I require a detailed list. How can I be sure how many you sell per day?" Xiao Mu was hesitant. This was a good thing, but he was afraid the boss would sell a hundred copies and tell him he only sold one.
"Little brother, are you looking down on me? My Legend Internet Café is here, would I lie to you? We can sign a contract, is that okay?" The owner saw the hesitation in Xiao Mu's eyes.
Strike while the iron is hot. If he could secure Xiao Mu today, his path to riches would begin. The owner was still financially savvy, while Xiao Mu was just a novice who hadn't seen the business opportunity of auxiliary small programs.
