Lin Wan sat in the guest room, sipping on the tea served by Assistant Xin.
Ah, how nostalgic.
This was the taste of home …
How long had it been since she had tasted such delicious tea? About half a year, right …?
Lin Wan was in her fourth year of university this year and there was still half a year before she graduated. However, she had already interned at Sun Strike Studios for half a year.
During her university days, Lin Wan had made the decision to enter the gaming industry. Due to that, she had many arguments with her father, especially during the summer holidays of her third year of university.
Therefore, in a fit of anger, Lin Wan decided not to return home and went to Sun Strike Studios for her internship.
Ever since then, Lin Wan had been living a hard life. The branded bags and clothes that she would buy whenever she wanted in the past had to be thrifty now.
The tea that she often drank at home, she didn't drink much of it outside.
This was the first time that Lin Wan felt as though she was back at home.
That was the reason why her impression of Tengda skyrocketed!
This was Lin Wan's first time in Jingzhou City. When she alighted from the plane, she was slightly disappointed.
After all, it was only a second-tier city. In terms of prosperity, it could not compare to a first-tier city like Guangzhou.
However, the moment she entered Shenhua View, that disappointment vanished and was replaced with joy and admiration!
Looking at the office environment and the working attitude of all the employees, Lin Wan was certain that this was the feeling!
The light of idealism that she had seen in Pei Qian was vividly reflected here!
Assistant Xin knocked on the door and entered with a contract in her hands.
"Congratulations, Boss Pei has agreed to it. Once you sign this contract, you'll be an official employee of Tengda! The salary will be 4,000 a month. Is that alright? "
Lin Wan stood up hurriedly. "Yes, yes!"
She took the contract, skimmed through it, and signed her name on it.
"So, what's my job?" Lin Wan's eyes were filled with anticipation.
Assistant Xin thought for a moment. "Your job … hmm, come for a team building activity at 2pm tomorrow. Watch a movie, have a meal and sing karaoke."
"Huh?" Lin Wan was stumped.
…
…
Friday afternoon.
Pei Qian, who had not appeared for a long time due to his exams, arrived at his own company. According to the original plan, Ocean Stronghold's development was to be completed this week and officially released on the official games platform.
Settlement would take place in two weeks. That was because Pei Qian had left some advance.
When he was deciding on the development plan, Pei Qian was worried that the slackers would be too slow and cause the release of the game to be delayed. Thus, he intentionally brought the deadline forward by a week. That way, they would have enough buffer time.
Today, it was time to check on the results.
When he arrived at the office, he went straight to Huang Sibo.
"Boss Pei!" Huang Sibo looked energetic and he seemed to have become more handsome.
In the two months that he had been in Tengda, Huang Sibo's income had increased, and he had more time to rest. His mood had improved as well.
Therefore, his mental state was no longer as miserable as before. Instead, he was brimming with energy!
Now that it was winter, Huang Sibo had just gone out to buy some winter clothes last week.
Considering that he was well off now and that he was working at a place like Shenhua View, Huang Sibo decided to get himself a decent outfit. Hence, he spent more than a thousand to buy a casual suit, looking more like a successful person now.
"How's the progress of Ocean Stronghold? Do we need to delay it by a week?"
Huang Sibo shook his head furiously. "No need! Don't worry, Boss Pei. We've already tested it multiple times. All the bugs that we found have been fixed. The game can be released anytime! "
"En, not bad." Pei Qian nodded his head. However, there wasn't much joy on his face.
Huang Sibo's confident attitude made Pei Qian feel a little guilty!
The game couldn't have been completed with the highest quality, could it?
However, thinking about Huang Sibo and Bao Xu's qualifications and the three rules that he had set for the game …
Pei Qian felt that even if the game was successfully developed, it would not be able to make money.
"Do you want to try it out?" Huang Sibo asked.
"There's no need for that." Pei Qian thought for a moment. "Show me the story mode and epic weapons."
Pei Qian knew that Ocean Stronghold was most likely a rubbish game and there was nothing much to try out.
It didn't make sense for him to have to eat the sh * t that he had created himself.
However, to ensure that the game would incur losses, Pei Qian decided to see if his ideas had been implemented.
Did they spend a lot of effort on the story mode?
Was there an 888 Red Kilin in the game?
Pei Qian was quite concerned about these things.
Huang Sibo nodded his head. "Alright, Boss Pei. I'll show you now."
Huang Sibo opened Ocean Stronghold on his computer and started to introduce it to Pei Qian.
"This is our story mode. Players have to fight from the lowest level of the sea base to the highest level. The story mode takes about six hours and is split into three different scenarios. The main content of the game is to fight zombies, mercenaries and some simple puzzles …"
"This is the system of the shopping mall."
"This is the epic weapon that we are planning to release the month we go live. According to what you said, the permanent usage price is 888. More epic weapons have been included in the development plan. We intend to release a new epic weapon every two to three months. "
As Pei Qian listened to Huang Sibo's explanation, he frowned and nodded at times.
He frowned because he saw the actual game footage of Ocean Stronghold.
It was a little different from what he had imagined!
Initially, he thought that the game would look similar to Cross the Line of Fire. However, after seeing the actual footage, he realized that it was much more intricate and beautiful!
Be it the characters, guns, sceneries or the game's UI, they were all brand new. Although they could not be said to be as top-notch as overseas AAA games, they were not that far off.
Pei Qian was initially a little angry and wanted to question Huang Sibo. Who told you to make the game so beautiful?
Did you know that it was so beautiful that it could kill someone?
However, on second thought, wasn't it just me …?
Oh, that's all.
At that time, Huang Sibo came to Pei Qian with a 600,000 yuan budget for art purchases. Without even looking at it, Pei Qian doubled it to 1.2 million yuan.
Indeed, the money was spent.
However, the quality of the art resources that he had bought had been raised by several levels!
Looking at the beautiful game footage, Pei Qian suddenly felt a little guilty.
The key was that he could not fly into a rage because he was the one who had asked Huang Sibo to buy the beautiful art resources …
However, after listening to Huang Sibo's explanation, Pei Qian felt a little more at ease.
Fortunately, the time-consuming, laborious, and unrewarding story mode was created. Things like fighting zombies and mercenaries didn't sound interesting at all.
The 888-yuan Red Kilin had also been created. What's more, there was only one gun in the shop; there were no other cheap guns.
He was most likely going to be scolded by players. However, Pei Qian was already mentally prepared. If he was scolded, so be it. As long as he could lose money, it was fine!
For example, Old Ma was scolded by players every day. That didn't affect him taking the bus, right?
Furthermore, Pei Qian had already done his research. Sun Strike Studios' Bullet Hole was scheduled to be released soon. Pei Qian had decided that Ocean Stronghold would clash with Bullet Hole. It would be best if it was smashed into smithereens!
With such a strong competitor, what was the use of Ocean Stronghold's graphics being better?
The data would definitely be crushed and beaten up!
"Boss Pei, there are other modes in the game. Do you want me to explain them to you?" Huang Sibo asked.
