An enterprising Animal Crossing player from China has found a way to make real-world monies from within the game.

As shared by Daniel Ahmad on Twitter, the player in question set up a store on their island, which sells custom-made in-game items. The money-making aspect comes from the WeChat Pay and AliPay QR codes which the player also designed in-game.

As noted by Ahmad, these codes allow people to pay the player with real-world cash.

Well, that’s certainly a creative way of making a profit from a game. Guess we should all take notes.

If you’re wondering about Animal Crossing‘s intended activities, we made note of its features here. No review though, because we’re more into ripping and tearing.
