"Xiao Lu, there's still a problem with the functions here. Make some changes. You can ask Brother Bao about the feel of it. He's a god, "Huang Sibo pointed at the design manuscript and explained patiently.
Xiao Lu was one of the members of the design team and was currently in charge of the design and production of the ghost mode.
His experience was even lower than Huang Sibo's and he was originally an intern in a game company. However, he was not in charge of any core work and was mostly filled in forms and errands. While his experience wasn't exactly zero, it was close to it.
In most companies, one would look at the position and the other would be experience (ability). Even though both of them had the same experience, Huang Sibo was naturally the leader.
"Alright, Brother Huang, I'll change it right now!"
Xiao Lu opened up the game editor immediately and followed Huang Sibo's instructions.
Ocean Stronghold was already in the production phase and all the templates and functions that Pei Qian had spent a huge sum of money on were already in the game editor. The designers were already using the game editor to create the game.
It wasn't difficult to use the game editor and all the designers had experience with it. Their production speed would definitely be much faster than a layman like Pei Qian.
"Focus on your work and don't let your mind wander off to Guangzhou. Focus on your own work first," Huang Sibo reminded Xiao Lu when he saw that she was getting carried away.
Xiao Lu scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. "Hey, Brother Huang, I've never been to Guangzhou before and I'm getting excited about going to the famous Sun Strike Studios. But don't worry, I'll definitely complete the work with quality and quantity! "
Huang Sibo nodded and returned to his desk to continue working.
To be honest, he had never been to Guangzhou either.
It wasn't just him – most of the people in the company had never been there.
A plane ticket to Feiyang City in Jingzhou cost a few thousand yuan and these people were all poor before joining Tengda – where would they have the money to go …
When they heard that they were going to Guangzhou for a learning exchange, everyone cheered except for Huang Sibo and Bao Xu.
Bao Xu was a homebody to begin with and was not interested in going out at all – he would rather stay in the company and play games for five days straight.
On the other hand, Huang Sibo was worried that the progress of the game would be affected.
After estimating the workload, Huang Sibo realized that this trip would not affect the progress of the game much and Ocean Stronghold should still be completed on time. That was when he was relieved.
Right now, Huang Sibo could ignore everything else except for the progress of the game. That was something he was extremely concerned about!
Boss Pei appreciated them so much, entrusted them with heavy responsibilities, rewarded them handsomely, and even brought them to Guangzhou for an exchange and a team-building activity. There was no way they could ever repay such kindness!
He had to create this game beautifully. Otherwise, how could he be worthy of Boss Pei's efforts?
Furthermore, he did want to visit Sun Strike Studios as well.
That was because it was a renowned gaming studio in the country. Before Huang Sibo entered the industry, he had set Sun Strike Studios as his ultimate goal in the industry!
After he started working, he had heard many rumors about Sun Strike Studios.
Someone said that Sun Strike Studios had once given them five months of salary as a bonus.
Others said that the monthly bonuses of Sun Strike Studios' design team were higher than their base salary.
Someone even said that Sun Strike Studios had once given a sports car as the highest prize during the annual meeting.
Huang Sibo had not verified any of that. However, it was clear that Sun Strike Studios was the dream of many people in the gaming industry.
Being able to visit and learn from such a place would definitely be of great help to his future career!
…
…
A month passed by quickly.
December 27th, Friday.
The employees of Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd. arrived at the hotel they were staying at and entered their respective rooms to put down their luggage.
For Handong Province, it was already winter and it was extremely cold. However, the temperature in Guangzhou was much higher. After noon, the warm rays of the sun shone down on everyone, giving them a warm feeling.
Huang Sibo could not help but feel a little dazed.
This atmosphere … it felt like they were here for a holiday!
A few girls from the administrative team were checking their itineraries on their phones, planning which attractions and shopping malls they were going to visit the next morning.
A few lads from the design team were looking for a nearby supermarket to buy a box of beer and bring it to their hotel room so that they could drink and play cards at night.
There were a total of 27 of them this time round. Bao Xu did not come as well – he had no interest in such things and would rather stay in the company.
As for Boss Pei …
Boss Pei did not mingle with the crowd as he returned to his room early in the morning, probably tired from the flight and wanting to rest.
The entire itinerary was arranged by Assistant Xin and Pei Qian could not care less about it.
Huang Sibo and Xiao Lu stayed in the same room. After putting down their luggage, Huang Sibo took out his laptop from his luggage and continued checking the design drafts and modifying the plot of the game.
At this point, the framework of Ocean Stronghold had been completed. However, Bao Xu felt that there was still a lot of room for improvement be it in terms of the feel of the game or some of the details.
Huang Sibo was worried about these things as well – he wanted to work hard to make the game perfect.
When even a hardcore gamer like Bao Xu could not find any flaws, the game would then be up to standard!
"Brother Huang, I'm going out to play with the others. You can rest if you're tired," Xiao Lu greeted Huang Sibo and happily followed the others out to have fun.
…
In Pei Qian's room …
"Brother Qian, I'm so tired from acting … the distance between us has grown because of work …" Ma Yang looked exhausted.
At this point, no one in the company knew of Ma Yang's relationship with Pei Qian other than Assistant Xin.
Therefore, whenever there were company employees around, Ma Yang had to act as though he did not know Pei Qian at all. Calling him 'Boss Pei' was tiring.
Even though they were clearly brothers who slept together, there was now an unbridgeable gulf between them …
"For the sake of the company, you have to make a sacrifice." Pei Qian patted Ma Yang on the shoulders. "You're my important informant in the company. If you discover anything, you have to inform me as soon as possible!"
If Pei Qian were to reveal their relationship, the others might be wary of Ma Yang.
At that time, it would be difficult for him to grasp the company's situation.
Pei Qian had to ensure that he knew the company's situation like the back of his hand. Otherwise, if something were to go wrong and he failed to incur losses, wouldn't that be way too awkward?
Ma Yang's face grew even longer. "You make it sound like I'm an underground worker. Nothing much has happened recently. Everything's normal and everyone's working on the game according to the design draft. "
Pei Qian nodded his head. That's good!
He had taken a quick look at the design draft previously and did not understand how it was written. However, all three of his requirements had been met.
As long as the design draft wasn't changed, the game would most likely fail and there was nothing for him to worry about.
"Oh, and everyone seems to be interested in Sun Strike Studios. Is it really something?" Ma Yang asked.
"How would I know?" Pei Qian did not know much about the game industry and neither did he know what sort of studio Sun Strike Studios was.
All he did was slap his head and tell Assistant Xin to come to Guangzhou to spend money. Thereafter, Assistant Xin casually contacted a few famous local games companies and coincidentally, Sun Strike Studios.
The other employees thought that it was Pei Qian's intentional arrangement. However, that was not the case at all – Pei Qian did not even know the name of the producer of Sun Strike Studios …
"The first game company we're going to tomorrow is Sun Strike Studios. Ask a few more questions then and don't leave them cold. Since they're welcoming us warmly, we've got to be more friendly, "Pei Qian reminded.
As the boss, it was inconvenient for Pei Qian to approach them personally or ask all sorts of questions. That would lower his status.
Therefore, this task was left to Ma Yang.
