Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, Handong University branch …
Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong sat in the coffee area, silently drinking coffee and looking at each other.
Both of them looked at each other in confusion.
Their experiences were not too different.
On Tuesday, both of them were still working hard. They were in charge of GOG and Be Quiet respectively.
They were seriously revising the design plan.
Today, both of them had been kicked out of the company. They looked at each other speechlessly in Fish-Catching Internet Cafe.
When they first heard the news of the transfer, both of them were equally shocked and baffled.
Did they do something wrong?
It didn't seem like it. It was obviously a promotion. Both the rank and the salary had been raised.
However, they should be happy about it?
Neither of them could be happy.
That was because Boss Pei only said that he wanted to build a haunted house in the old industrial zone of Jingzhou City and invest ten million yuan in it.
However, they had no clue about anything else!
How much land to rent, which factories to renovate, what kind of plan to use, how many employees to hire …
All of these progress points were zero.
In other words, Boss Pei might have said that he would invest ten million yuan in a haunted house, but so far, there was nothing but ten million yuan and Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong.
That … was very confusing.
Both of them decided to meet at Fish-Catching Internet Cafe to discuss their next plans after knowing that they were the only colleagues on this project.
Both of them thought that the other party had more information than they did and had received special instructions from Boss Pei.
However, they realized that both of them were at a loss when they met.
Boss Pei did not say anything!
Therefore, they could only drink their coffee silently.
After a long silence, Chen Kangtuo decided to break the deadlock.
After all, Boss Pei placed so much importance on this project and handed it over to him just like that. He could not let Boss Pei down no matter what.
Chen Kangtuo thought for a moment and said, "From tomorrow onwards, I'll post a recruitment notice online to recruit some people with relevant experience. I'll also contact the construction team at the same time. We have to come up with the design plan no matter what."
Hao Qiong nodded. "Yes, Be Quiet has some ready-made art materials.
There are also materials that we collected from the horror games we played previously. We can consider using them in the design of the haunted house … "
Both of them discussed the various details of this project while drinking coffee.
Needless to say, with the discussion between the two of them, the haunted house project came to a conclusion.
However, even though they thought of all kinds of problems, both of them felt that something was missing.
Somehow, he felt that the conversation wasn't that solid.
Chen Kangtuo frowned and thought hard. "What exactly is missing?"
Hao Qiong thought for a long time. Suddenly, he smacked his forehead. "I got it!"
"Without Boss Pei's guidance!"
"We can do without everything else, but we cannot do without Boss Pei's guidance!"
"I don't know if you remember, but most of the successes of Tengda's projects were within Boss Pei's plans.
"Most of the time, Boss Pei would only point out a few simple directions. But as long as we continue to deduce in this direction, we will be able to find the correct path! "
"Boss Pei has yet to issue any guidance for the haunted house project.
"We have to figure out Boss Pei's attitude towards this project before we can decide on a concrete plan!"
Realization dawned on Chen Kangtuo. "I see!"
He had never been in charge before. Boss Pei had given him tasks directly to Li Yada. Thus, Chen Kangtuo had not considered these problems.
Fortunately, Hao Qiong had heard from Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin about the standardized process of understanding Boss Pei's spirit. That was why he had acutely discovered this blind spot.
"All in all, we have to make preparations first, recruit more people, or ask Boss Pei for more manpower."
"Then, we have to find a chance to ask Boss Pei for his opinion on this project."
"Only by understanding Boss Pei's intentions can we greatly increase the success rate of this project!"
After the discussion between the two of them, they seemed to see a vague general direction for the project that was originally a little confusing.
This general direction was Boss Pei's guidance.
Both of them firmly believed that as long as they could obtain Boss Pei's guidance, all these problems would be easily solved!

December 10th, Friday …
Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd …
"Brother Bao, GOG has released a new version. Take a look."
Bao Xu sighed silently when he saw Li Yada's message.
Ai, it was difficult.
At this point, GOG had a rough prototype. Although the game was still a mess in all aspects, at least it could run.
After all, there was a ready-made game like Gods Rising that could be used as a reference. It would not be too difficult for GOG to build a framework in a short period of time.
However, the current completion rate was too low.
Bao Xu secretly played GOG when no one was paying attention. Then, he found a lot of flaws.
There were too many bugs.
There was poor balance.
There was nothing new in the gameplay.
There were too few heroes …
All in all, it was worlds apart from Gods Rising.
Bao Xu was in a dilemma.
If he ignored it, Li Yada would probably not be able to solve these problems.
If he ignored it, he could almost see the African savannah and the Sahara Desert waving at him.
After weighing the pros and cons, Bao Xu sighed and opened the game editor again to secretly make changes.
"Forget it, I can't just stand by and watch.
"Help me one last time?
"However, I can't go on like this. I can't be the one to solve all the problems, can I?"
Bao Xu was helpless. Even though the other designers in the design team had been playing games to enrich their gaming experience, gaming IQ wasn't something that could be cultivated in a short period of time.
As a veteran gamer, Bao Xu's sensitivity to games was incomparable to others.
Thus, only Bao Xu could be responsible for some very high-end tasks such as adjusting the game's balance.
Of course, the systems designer could do this as well, but Bao Xu was often the final check.
It would be fine for standalone games that did not require so much balance, but GOG was a multiplayer game. Balance was very important.
Bao Xu thought about it and felt that he could not go on like this.
It was too dangerous!
He had to think of a way to distribute this work and let someone else take it on for him.
If he could not find such people in the company, where could he find them?
Suddenly, he had a brainwave and thought of an idea.
Fish-Catching Internet Cafe was Tengda's business. Could he make use of it?
He could put the test version of GOG in Fish-Catching Internet Cafe. That way, Fish-Catching Internet Cafe's customers could act as test players of the game. After experiencing the game, they could leave their opinions and suggestions.
Of course, this would also bring certain problems. For example, the game information might be leaked in advance, causing spoilers.
However, it was not a big problem for a game like GOG.
To put it bluntly, it was to create a special game test server in Fish-Catching Internet Cafe to collect player data and modify the game through this data.
Bao Xu immediately sent a message to Li Yada.
Bao Xu felt that even if he could not completely liberate Fish-Catching Internet Cafe's players, at least eighty percent could be liberated!

At Dream Realization Ventures …
Ma Yang did not come today. He had classes.
What's more, ever since Ma Yang threw all his money into Finger Games without hesitation, Dream Realization Ventures had no money to invest in other projects.
Everyone's daily work was to accompany Boss Ma in playing games.
Boss Ma might be carrying crazily in every game and killing all kinds of gods, but he would get tired of such 'high-end games'.
Recently, Ma Yang had been a little tired, so he did not come to Dream Realization Ventures often.
He Desheng and the other high-scoring gods were gathered together at this time, discussing the problem with serious expressions.
"Boss Ma's happiness threshold is getting higher and higher.
"After a while, I'm afraid he will lose interest in our nine to protect one.
"What should we do?"
He Desheng raised a very sharp question.
One of the important jobs of these high-scoring gods was to accompany Boss Ma to play games, so that he could maintain a relaxed and happy mood and maintain the best working state.
In the beginning, Boss Ma could kill more than ten high-scoring gods in every game. Of course, he was very happy to carry the game alone.
However, slowly, the happiness threshold was getting higher and higher.
Simply killing people could no longer satisfy Boss Ma.
The frequent victories had also become dull and tasteless.
After all, in Ma Yang's opinion, the experience of each game was becoming more and more similar.
Even if the other nine people in the game had arranged the script in advance and tried their best to act according to the script, trying their best to give Boss Ma a different gaming experience each game …
However, after a long time, he would still get tired of it.
Now, everyone was gathered together to discuss the solution to this problem.
"I think we can't blame this on our lack of imagination, nor can we blame Boss Ma's level.
"If you want to blame someone, you can only blame the game mechanism!
"The current game mechanism is a little complicated, and the opponent is quite unfriendly to disabled players.
"Boss Ma is being targeted by the game, and it is very difficult for him to exert 100% of his strength.
"In order to cooperate with Boss Ma, we can only lower our level to the same level as him. Naturally, our acting is very fake.
"If this continues, Boss Ma will see through it sooner or later. It is only a matter of time."
Another brother next to him nodded. "That's right, I agree! I also think that Boss Ma is being targeted by the game. "
"As long as we change the game mechanism, Boss Ma's strength will definitely be better displayed!"
"What should we do then? We are not designers; we can't change the game mechanism, "someone said.
Someone raised his hand and suggested. "We really can't change Gods Rising, but … we should be able to change IOI, right?"
He Desheng thought about it. "It's hard to say. We only bought the shares of Finger Games; we can't interfere with their research and development and operations.
"We can make some suggestions to them as shareholders and domestic agents. As for whether they will listen … it's really not certain.
"Let's try."
