The System In My Head

The game Ben

As the professor prepares to speak in front of the class, Ben reaches into his pocket and rubs the white card. That was the key to reversing his dire university situation.

[Low Level Stat Growth Multiplier (Consumption, Good, Knowledge) x1 - After activating, get 10x results when practicing the activity associated with the specified stat. Also increases motivation and recovery for such activities. Lasted for 7 days]

This multiplier card means he can cram in 10 weeks of highly efficient study within 1 week. Since he had only missed two weeks, Ben believed this would not only help him bridge the gap, but also gain a big lead!

However, he released *******hard. 'It would be much easier if everyone in the world was more stupid than me... Since that's not the case, I guess I should make myself smarter.' He activated the multiplier card.

*Suara mending*

Ben closed his eyes as his dopamine receptors lit up like fireworks! He had forgotten how powerful these cards were! That feeling is high!

After a few seconds, he opened his eyes and looked at the professor with intense focus, his gaze like a ferocious beast stalking its prey.but what he wanted to eat.is knowledge! An intense drive hit him! To study! To study! Smarter!

Sitting next to her, Charlotte watched the beautiful female professor standing in front of the class preparing to speak. At that moment, he heard a loud breath next to him, and turned to Ben. He saw her reach into his pocket and started to move his hand, immediately after closing his eyes and making a strange expression...

...

He looked at her with disdain. 'Damn pervert. I know he's not good...'

Moments later, Professor Tremblay begins his explanation of the upcoming competition. The students will use the concepts they learned in the past month to engage in strategic marketing contests between media companies, with each of their groups representing companies that will be dealing with the other. Their core business model is to provide media-related services to other businesses: publicity, product marketing, advertising, etc.

The focal point of the competition is to choose a client niche to focus their services on. This segment includes music, movies, television, companies, and several others. Teams can adjust their tactics by focusing on one niche or diversifying among many. This is where tactics play a role. However, none of the answers are correct.

Their choice affects the results of other teams because it is a dynamic environment. Supply and demand are also here. So, if each team chooses one segment, it will dilute all their profits because too many media companies are competing for a small pool of clients.

Each day, the group will make two rounds of decisions on whether to maintain their tactics or change them based on everyone's results from the previous rounds. Being able to see the results of all the competitors, it was an open information game. Their score depends on the prey of the market, as well as some other unique aspects of each niche client.

The game will last 7 days, with each of 2 rounds for a total of 14 rounds, where each round equals one year in simulation. The students will decide one round during class, and one at the end of the day from their personal computer. Next Monday, the group with the highest score will win the contest. That will guarantee they get an A for this course. Other groups will also receive lower grades depending on their results, although they can still improve their course grades later through testing.

When Ben hears the specifics of the project, he understands that Miyuki cannot help him. It's all handled by software. There is no right answer and it all depends on what other competitors are doing. So, with regret, he sheathed his temptation...

With the multiplier effect, Ben absorbs all the information without disturbing him, even the sexy professor himself. Only when he finished talking did his spare brain get a turn to give an opinion-it would make a phenomenal cap ...'

After hesitating for a moment, he nodded.

Ben blinked. 'Why is he looking at me like I'm Harvey Weinstein?'

...

He did not understand why he was observing the look of disdain in his expression. Even after smelling his armpit, he still did not understand ...

All Charlotte thought about was Ben's happy face when she caught him touching her to the professor...

A minute later, the students entered the computer lab. It was a medium-sized beige room with a row of new black MacBook Pro and Apple Monitor, a modern setting. After sitting down and activating the software, they all parted into their group as they started the first round of the game.

Sitting next to Charlotte in front of the computer, Ben reads the software options. He verified what the professor said about everyone starting at 0. Now, the choice is which client segment to focus on. Reading through 8 possible niches, he noted that most are entertainment-related fields, which makes sense as a client for a media company.

However, he was not sure what the best move was because he had not learned any concepts from the past few weeks. He did understand the principles of the professor's explanation though. The key point is that their choice carries consequences, determining how clients perceive their media company brand.

For example, focusing on the same niche longer results in strengthening their brand in that niche, which causes clients in that segment to be more likely to choose them over competitors. In addition, their profits will grow because their stronger position allows them to raise prices. In other words, there are bonuses for veterans who stay in one segment.

The niche itself also has its differences. Some provide faster profits but less growth like print media, while others provide higher growth potential but it will take longer to gain acceptance from old-fashioned clients such as corporate niches.

Struggling over the options, Ben glanced at Charlotte. When they met his eyes, he turned his gaze down and leaned back. "Charlotte, do you have any ideas on how we should proceed?"

He just shook his head while looking at his feet. Charlotte has been paying attention to the lecture the past few weeks but she lacks the confidence to make good choices in this game. He doesn't want to be ridiculed again if he fails. Since Ben said he would take care of it, he was much more comfortable letting it decide.

Ben sighed. 'It looks like I'm going to be completely alone in this...' Glancing at all the options, he got lost, not knowing what to choose. Despite being an expert gamer, Ben thinks it won't help here because the software doesn't allow him to use his gaming skills: high-level mouth mechanics... 'There was no microphone attached. If I can only talk trash, I can rip up ****this ...'

As he shook his head, he realized something. 'Wait...'

Ben looked around the room, and saw all his opponents...

He gasps. Then, a few seconds later, he spread an evil grin. 'I see a lot of beginners with a lot of mothers ...'
