#298 - I just want to pick up girls, go away, damn success (2 in 1 please order)
Soon, Daji released her early access review video of the game "Gunfight Girls 2" across the entire internet.
At the beginning of the video, Daji was wearing a fox-ear cosplay outfit, appearing like a charming fox spirit.
Her oval face featured lively eyes and a sexy smile.
She waved gently and greeted:
"Hello, everyone, Daji is here again! I'm especially excited and honored today because I've been invited by Blast Network to participate in the internal testing of the highly anticipated new game 'Gunfight Girls 2'!"
With the transition of the game's BGM, Daji entered Blast Network's office area to begin her tour.
Even with the video's filters, many viewers noticed that the company's employees seemed to have been pulling all-nighters recently, looking quite ethereal.
Blast Network's CEO, Huang Zhong, personally received Daji.
Daji smiled and said, "Director Huang, today I'm here with the mission of the commanders to grill you."
"No problem. The success of Gunfight Girls 1 has overwhelmed us with the players' love. At the same time, we've been treading on thin ice in the development of the second generation, striving to provide players with a satisfying gaming experience.
The story of the second generation takes place 10 years after the first. During these 10 years, tactical dolls have left Griffin for various reasons. Therefore, we want to tell a story about growth and maturity."
Afterward, Daji personally put on the VR equipment and started playing the game.
Her eyes widened as she played and raved:
"Wow, the graphics are gorgeous! How should I put it? The girls are unbelievably beautiful! And although it's an American-style strategy game, the action is smooth and the combat feels great. Daji really loves it."
These game scenes had already been revealed in previous gameplay demonstrations.
So, after a period of awkward praise, Daji quickly moved on to the main topic. After all, she was here to criticize others today.
Using the game's graphics as a starting point, she casually smiled and said:
"To be honest, I've not only played Blast's VR game recently, but also two VR games launched by other companies.
How should I put it? Although they're okay on their own, when placed alongside our game, they're technically slightly inferior."
This was Daji's first point of attack: technical prowess!
Huang Zhong smiled and took over the conversation:
"Longteng Group has been deeply involved in the graphics computing industry for many years, and its technical prowess in art modeling is very strong. Naturally, it's not on the same level as some competitors."
Afterward, Daji talked about the company environment:
"I see that your company's employees are very serious about developing games. Content production speed shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Huang Zhong confidently nodded and said:
"Of course. Longteng Group has many game companies under its umbrella, which can work together, so the production capacity is very fast. This way, the version content can be iterated quickly."
Daji said in a playful tone, "That's great. Unlike some competitors, I don't know if they're treating game development as a game. It feels like a hobby. Until now, that real masterpiece is still hidden, making people a little worried about the quality."
This was Daji's second point of attack: production capacity.
Huang Zhong continued to smile and interject:
"The reason why we can achieve such efficiency is because of one thing—focus!"
Daji said admiringly:
"Indeed, Blast Network has only focused on developing one IP over the years. And what about a certain competitor? Within the short VR release cycle, they've already made two completely unrelated games. Doing things without focus will make people worry that they can't grasp the key points."
In the video's comments section, many people commented:
"Anchor, you have big boobs, so you're right."
"I think Teacher Daji is right."
"This game is so white, oh no, I mean this VR equipment is so big."
"Huang Zhong is really touching, I'm crying. He's truly the creator of the 'weak protection' theory! I'll never regret joining Gunfight Girls."
Of course, there were also fans of Peach Garden Village in the comments who noticed the clues:
"Why don't you just say it clearly? Is it interesting to criticize Peach Garden Village like this?"
"That's right, don't let the boomerang hit you back."
Daji's fans immediately retorted:
"Ah yes yes yes, your Peach Garden Village is awesome, so why haven't you released the price of the VR and the real masterpiece yet? Don't tell me you're hoping to defeat Gunfight Girls with two small games?"
"LOL, Peach Garden defenders, calm down."
"Clicked on the homepage, recently shared all Peach Garden Village's updates, left satisfied."
……
Shenzhen City, the apartment of Thomas, the Southern Editor, one of the Central Plains Five Editors.
Seeing that Daji's video had successfully stirred up the rhythm of criticism, he smiled slightly.
As expected of the leader of the "Central Plains Five Editors," after introducing her to Longteng Group, her actions are truly extraordinary!
Peach Garden Village has now become Thomas's lifelong enemy. He has brought in three teammates, and they have all fallen in.
The Eastern Editor, "Wan Wuyai," has completely disappeared, not even appearing on the show. God knows what that old man is doing every day.
Facts have proven that the big sister has to take action.
Although Daji looks like a bitch, she's first-class at setting the rhythm of criticism!
Peach Garden Village, feel my anger, hehehe...
……
After Peach Garden Village was caught in the war of words initiated by Blast Network, other manufacturers in the industry didn't sit idle. Many major manufacturers, including Tenghui and Youyi, began releasing numerous VR game trailers.
Tenghui's Dimi Studio Group released "Mysterious Island: Mystery of the Lost"
Tenghui's Photon Studio Group released "Air Combat Hero: Burning Medal"
Tenghui's Antarctic Light Studio Group released "VR Wuxia: Jin Yong World"
Youyi's Zen Studio released "Hyakki Yagyō Scroll"
Youyi's Naked Rain released the city sandbox VR game "Code: Infinity"
Beautiful World released the science fiction open-world game "Magic Tower"
Lingniu Interactive Entertainment released the Three Kingdoms war strategy game "VR Three Kingdoms: Unparalleled Ambition"
……
Regarding these dazzling trailers, there were many opinions on the internet and various game forums:
"Holy crap, the big manufacturers are really playing for real this time, releasing so many games?"
"Big manufacturers win in production capacity. In other words, they can completely continue the internal horse racing mechanism of the PC and mobile game era, launching a large string of backup games, and there will always be one that can blindly succeed."
"Come on, don't you know the tricks of these big manufacturers? The trailers are all trailer scams. They find an animation company to do an outsourced CG, but when you look at the actual gameplay, it's all reskinned card and turn-based games."
"I think a few of the promotional videos are actually pretty good. Maybe the big manufacturers have woken up?"
"Woken up my ass. These trial works are just testing the waters. Look, besides Longteng Group, Liu's Group, and Peach Garden Village, which other company has released game console hardware? They're all just waiting and watching."
……
The media storm set off by "Gunfight Girls 2" and the entry of other game companies into VR games put a lot of pressure on the employees of Peach Garden Village!
They vaguely knew that the company had invested a lot in VR hardware, and CEO Lu had bet a lot of his personal wealth!
Therefore, in the office, programmers stared intently at their computer screens, and the sound of their fingers tapping on the code was very rapid,
Female concept artists anxiously scribbled on their drawing boards, modifying character designs again and again.
Test engineers held a pile of bug reports, their brows furrowed. The pressure of the testing cycle increased, and they discovered new problems every day, becoming increasingly heavy-hearted.
And the operations and business people sorted out market competition analysis reports, looking at the overwhelming amount of marketing ads for "Gunfight Girls 2", racking their brains to make their own promotion strategies more creative.
If you had to find one person in the entire company who was quite calm, it would undoubtedly be—
CEO Lu!
Lu Yu continued to maintain his leisurely pace of life after transmigrating to this world.
Recently, the "Relaxed Daily Life King Plan" he promoted had collected a lot of relaxing music and humorous joke works contributed by employees.
Therefore, many employees who passed by Lu Yu's workstation would find him giggling from time to time.
This daily life king plan also included a yoga competition. Many male employees were in for a treat, being able to see the company's beautiful female employees doing various yoga poses. Lu Yu also gained a lot of leisurely points from these perverts.
Every time during afternoon tea, Lu Yu enjoyed the supreme pleasure of drinking milk tea while watching Liu Mengyuan doing yoga beside him.
According to the daily life king plan, the company also held a relaxed blanking competition,
Lu Yu became very interested and participated several times. As a result, after emptying himself, he really wanted to sleep,
And just like that, he lived a life of sleeping, eating, playing, and sleeping again, which could be said to be better than a living immortal.
Whenever employees passed by Lu Yu, they would feel admiration in their hearts:
As expected of CEO Lu, he is calm in the face of danger and is a person who can accomplish great things!
Of course, these god-like days had stopped in recent days.
Because Lu Yu was surprised to find that the income of leisurely points in recent days had shown a straight downward trend.
Compared to when the "Relaxed Daily Life King" plan had just been promoted, it had decreased by more than 50%!
What the hell is going on?
In order to ensure the quality of leisurely enjoyment, Lu Yu had developed a habit of not reading any industry news after coming to this parallel world.
Therefore, when he suspiciously saw the news of "A Night of Security" becoming popular, he looked blank.
After watching Chun Hei's live stream clips, he understood even less.
It was said that he was just making an ordinary security simulation game, so how did he make such a proper-tasting horror puzzle game?
Is this reasonable?
Does this mean that all the employees of Peach Garden Village are hexagonal warriors, epic-level small-scale kings?
He continued to check the news and found that Longteng Group had launched an industry melee targeting Peach Garden Village, and he was completely dumbfounded.
It's only been a few days, and the company's employees have already fought with friendly merchants like this?
And this Longteng Group, are you guys mentally ill?
I don't even know you!
I just want to quietly open a company and lie down to earn points, why can't you let me live in peace?
The "Useless Technology" I acquired was a freak ridiculed by the entire investment circle. Not only was the product project idea skewed, but for insurance purposes, I also launched two boring small games with strange styles for reverse escort.
You guys are so strong, if you want to fight, go find Liu's Group to fight, why are you using a cannon to kill mosquitoes?
I just want to slack off, flirt with girls while lying down, I really don't want to compete with you.
Although Lu Yu couldn't figure it out, he understood that the most important thing now was to resolutely prevent the project team's employees from working overtime and internal strife.
Because the leisurely point income curve was really too ugly, these were all white and shiny silver,
It's a sin!
The bosses of other companies can't wait for their employees to work to death, I'm taking you to lie down together, why are you still starting to work hard yourself?
I'm so tired.
……
Lu Yu rubbed his eyebrows, stabilized his thoughts, and began to plan:
Small Country of Oddities and A Night of Security have already been launched, and becoming a hit is inevitable, and it's too late to intervene.
Most ⊥ New ⊥ Small ⊥ Say ⊥ At ⊥ Six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ Book ⊥⊥ Bar ⊥⊥ First ⊥ Hair!
But, he can still intervene in this round of the cycle's real heavyweight work, "My Wife is a Savior"!
This game must not become a hit.
After only making two small games, he had already been rolled into this by Longteng Group. God knows how many bloodthirsty peers would drag him into internal strife if this main work became a hit.
Moreover, if the game console project became a big hit and market demand soared, the employees' workload would definitely soar if they didn't expand, and if they expanded, the company would become more and more difficult to control, falling into a new cycle of internal strife.
The key is that, according to the law of diminishing marginal returns at the bottom of the system, Lu Yu cannot obtain any leisurely points from the employees' work itself, but the deduction of points is very severe,
Therefore, getting everyone out of work as soon as possible is the right way!
He opened the system light curtain and checked the task list.
This round of the cycle's surprise task requires him to earn 100 points from each of the 300 employees. Currently, 220 employees meet this requirement, and there are 80 stubborn elements.
So, it's time to supervise the phased implementation results of the "Relaxed Daily Life King" plan and the "Werewolf Killing" plan!
After that, he immediately announced that the winners of the Relaxed Daily Life King plan would be rewarded.
Lu Yu assigned Li Hongmei's human resources and administration department to settle all the employees' competition points, find the five highest scorers, and award the following prizes:
A pure gold trophy worth 50,000 RMB, and—
The winner of the music project will receive a vacation voucher to travel to music capitals around the world to experience exotic customs and enjoy the beautiful integration of melodious music and nature.
The funniest person will receive a year-round package, allowing unlimited viewing of comedy movies, dramas, crosstalk, and stand-up comedy, all in the top VIP boxes.
The yoga winner will receive a yoga venue charter experience voucher, enjoying sunshine, beaches, and professional yoga courses to achieve physical and mental balance.
The most relaxed blanker will receive a blanking art creation device, including a full set of top-of-the-line SLR cameras and lenses, supporting them to carry out personal creation or participate in blanking art exhibitions, allowing unrestrained creativity to be displayed.
The winner of the sleeping position competition will receive a top-level customized luxury bedroom package, including a mattress, to provide them with a more comfortable sleeping experience, making every night relaxed and comfortable.
……
When Lu Yu started awarding the five selected 'King of Leisurely Daily Life' in front of all the company employees, everyone was dumbfounded.
This… Could President Lu really be encouraging everyone to slack off during work hours?
Seeing the confused expressions of the employees, if the system rules didn't forbid exposing the system, he really couldn't wait to tell them:
Yes, I am encouraging you to slack off!
Of course, that's not all, Lu Yu smiled slightly and continued:
"In addition, I announce that these five elected 'King of Leisurely Daily Life' for this month will join the 'Werewolf Tribunal'."
"Please, the five Kings of Leisurely Daily Life, gather secretly during afternoon tea. We will find the most 'involution' employee in the company through statements, logical analysis, and listing evidence, and give them a special reward."
A day later, in the mysterious atmosphere of the company conference room, the first Werewolf Tribunal opened.
Lu Yu had already found the five employees with the fewest Leisure Points from the system list.
He watched the interrogation process of several of them.
[Werewolf Candidate One]
King of Leisurely Daily Life: "Xiao Fan, please briefly introduce your usual work situation. Do you strictly implement the company's system?"
Xiao Fan: "Well… I am in the Free Workshop group, responsible for the front-end development of the project team. I think I firmly abide by all regulations."
King of Leisurely Daily Life: "Oh, really? Then can you explain why you often suddenly disappear during lunch breaks, and then are found in the conference room typing on a laptop?"
Xiao Fan said proudly: "Hehe, you still found out. After all, the early bird catches the worm. I gave up my lunch break to better keep up with the project progress and improve work efficiency!"
King of Leisurely Daily Life slapped the table: "Guilty! You are guilty of involution, classified as a werewolf."
[Werewolf Candidate Two]
Second King of Leisurely Daily Life: "Nana, you are from our Human Resources Department, your work should be relatively easy, right?"
The employee named Nana, seeing the fate of the previous person, was a little nervous and said:
"Yes, I am mainly responsible for employee benefits and team building, very easy."
This King of Leisurely Daily Life adjusted his glasses: "But we noticed that you have recently often secretly run back to the HR office during the cat-stroking time stipulated by President Lu. Is there any ulterior secret?"
Nana turned pale with fright: "T-that's just me using this time to organize employee information forms, really."
The King of Leisurely Daily Life looked serious: "Do you know that you have betrayed someone's feelings and caused her deep harm!"
Nana was already at a loss: "Who?"
"The Persian cat 'Bichi'! You specified in the cat roster of Maao Zhi Ming to stroke her, but during the cat-stroking time, you were absent many times for no reason, causing Miss Bichi to not enjoy enough stroking, and her mood even showed mild depression!"
Another King of Leisurely Daily Life girl next to her opened her little fleshy hands and threatened: "Later, I was responsible for stroking Miss Bichi, and she also complained to me. Her evaluation of you is 'Damn two-legged beast, meow!'"
Nana: "I'm sorry!!!!!!!!!! QAQ, I will definitely turn over a new leaf."
……
Lu Yu watched the entire trial process of the five werewolves in the tribunal and was quite satisfied.
In fact, it is easy to find the 'involution kings' in the company, after all, the system screen has already displayed them.
However, he believes that this trial process is necessary.
The 'involution kings' must realize that their disorderly involution has a subversive destructive effect!
Moreover, it is not enough for these five people to simply admit their mistakes. Lu Yu, under the guise of vacation, arranged for these five werewolves to take the company's special car to a mysterious place.
That place was the 'Werewolf Transformation Training Camp' that Lu Yu had instructed Li Hongmei to arrange long ago.
A week later, the five people returned from the training camp, and their whole person had completely changed.
They were rosy-cheeked, radiant, and full of energy, and seemed to be full of enthusiasm for everything in life!
Only, when faced with occasions that required giving up rest time to work overtime, they retreated in horror, clutching their heads and shivering:
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I will never 'involute' again, never 'involute' again!"
As a result, the employees in the company began to discuss privately:
"What exactly is this 'Werewolf Transformation Training Camp'? Why are they so scared of working overtime?"
"I heard from the people in the administration department that the place was designed by President Lu himself, and it is the company's top secret?"
"Hiss… If I had to choose one of the two, I would rather be the King of Leisurely Daily Life."
Gradually, that training camp has become a kind of urban legend within the company.
……
At this time, Liu Mengyuan sat at her workstation, looking at the work schedule and the system screen, her eyebrows slightly frowned.
Originally, with the blessing of her system aura, the employees in the company were rapidly increasing their skill points.
However, the company's work rhythm was interrupted by Lu Yu's recent two enjoyment plans.
Liu Mengyuan's system surprise mission for this cycle requires her to earn skill points from 300 employees, otherwise she will degenerate into a succubus.
Currently, the task completion rate is 240 people, and there are still 60 people whose skill proficiency points have not reached the standard.
The most leisurely part of these 60 people are the awardees of Lu Yu's Leisurely Daily Life plan.
And the five people with the highest skill point acquisition efficiency, who were originally regarded by Liu Mengyuan as the five tiger generals, have all been transformed by Lu Yu as werewolves…
Liu Mengyuan patted her little face.
Is she… is she really going to become a succubus?
She recalled that night not long ago when she personally used her feet to receive yogurt, taking the opportunity to measure a certain weapon of war.
Such a terrifying existence, she might not be able to handle it in her normal state, let alone in the succubus state.
No, Liu Mengyuan, you can't admit defeat yet!
"My Wife is a Savior" is about to be launched. If this work rhythm is maintained, the project is destined to be full of holes, and her task will not be completed. She must use some means!
