#140 - The decisive battle initiated by Youyi (order required)
In the development footage, players saw developers debugging numerous interactive combat scenarios.
The character on the screen knocked down a pillar in the scene to disrupt the opponent's trash talk.
Another character turned on a crosstalk performance on the indoor television.
Guo Degang: God, I hope for world peace, that the people live in peace and prosperity, that the country is prosperous and the people are safe, and that there is no war, is that okay?
Yu Qian: Your request is quite high.
Guo Degang: Can you change it to something else? Let's discuss something else. I happen to have a photo of Yu Qian on me. God, take a look at this. He's quite ugly and can't find a partner. Can you make him a bit more handsome?
God (looks at the photo and tears it up): Let's talk about world peace.
I said, this is outrageous! If you don't agree, you don't agree, why tear it up? I was keeping it to ward off evil.
“Hahahahahaha!”
The NPC on the opposite side immediately burst out laughing, losing their combat ability.
On another computer, everyone saw that when the NPC launched trash talk at the player, it turned back like a boomerang and hit their own face.
Comment: "What? It seems like a lot of interesting new gameplay has been added to the trash talk combat."
After that, players saw 'Don't Laugh Challenge' and famous scene recreations on the new computer.
There was even dialect-based trash talk between player characters!
At the same time, many new interactive elements were added to the city blocks of New Alpha Card:
Love fortune tellers, dragon and lion dances, arcade game halls…
After seeing these features, the comments section was full of exclamations:
“It's so awesome!”
“The interview documentary even included new personal stuff. Tell me, what the heck is this surprise!”
“Dialect trash talk is so real! Our Greater Guangdong will definitely not lose!”
“Upstairs, where are you putting our Fujian people?”
“Putting crosstalk on the TV is hilarious!”
In the midst of the excitement, players quickly realized:
“So, they accidentally filmed the computer screen?”
“Do you think they did it on purpose or by accident?”
“Now you know why the official didn't respond to the video that 'Lingering Years' released before, right?
Because… the official doesn't bother to respond!
The problems mentioned in Lingering Years' video were already in the official development plan.
“The official was already waiting for this! After all, nothing slaps harder than the truth!”
At this time, Liu Mengyuan, who was reading the comments in front of the company computer, chuckled.
These leaked development progress shots were all edited in by her.
Trying to outmaneuver this lady? Too early!
And the comments from online players further invigorated the members of the Trash Talk Life project team.
This time, they must come up with a good enough work to live up to the players' expectations!
Everyone started working like crazy!
Even Zhang Fan and the others were secretly discussing in the development group chat about taking their computers home to continue development during Friday's holiday.
…
At this time, Thomas, the Southern Editor of the Central Five Editors,'s Weibo was once again overrun by fans of Paradise Town.
“Thomas, stop messing around. Watch the Paradise Town documentary. What nonsense are you talking about!”
“We know you and Paradise Town are old enemies. What's up? You think you can turn things around by calling on Lingering Years?”
“Gold medal editor is this all you got? Go find a factory job!”
“Your slander is too amateurish. Did your head get caught in a door?”
“These days, people will do anything to get attention and traffic. There's no bottom line!”
…
Shenzhen City.
Thomas sat in a dimly lit room, moving the mouse numbly.
He was being flamed badly,
But fortunately, he was used to it…
But wait!
“Crap, why should I be used to being flamed!”
Come to think of it, how good were things before Paradise Town entered the game industry and stirred things up? He could manipulate any small factory he wanted.
That's right, it's not my fault!
Thomas slammed the table and dialed Wuya's number.
This time, he had to drag this old geezer back into the water.
But on the other end of the phone was endless hold music.
He couldn't help but be stunned. Wuya hadn't resumed his show recently, nor had he opened any training classes. What exactly was he doing?
…
Youyi Company Headquarters, General Manager Shi Yi's office.
He was listening to Wang Su's call with an embarrassed expression.
Wang Su's cold laughter came from the other end:
“Manager Shi, you're really something. A game exhibition actually turned my subordinates into a bunch of mental wrecks.”
Shi Yi sighed and said, “Director Wang, I've used the group's resources before and never failed. This time, it was all Paradise Town…”
“I don't care. I will report this matter to the chairman in person when I go to Shenzhen next time.”
After hanging up the phone, Shi Yi fell into deep thought.
《Boss Simulator》 is about to be launched in a week, and 《Trash Talk Life》's schedule is about the same.
He must find a way to make his own game a top hit during this period.
Liu Lan is a results-oriented person. As long as his performance explodes, Wang Su's little report will not affect his promotion at all.
Originally, until EASTJOY started, the game promotion plan was quite smooth, but suddenly, 《Trash Talk Life》 popped up and became the biggest obstacle to his promotion.
Shi Yi opened his computer and looked at the soaring number of online users on Island Life, as well as the heated public opinion ignited by the development interview documentary, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
“This Paradise Town… is really stubborn.”
He had tried the show of force at the previous exhibition many times, and it always worked.
Most small manufacturers would back down when faced with difficulties, but Paradise Town didn't give him any face at all, and instead, fought more and more bravely.
But now, facing Paradise Town's offensive, Shi Yi instead regained his composure.
Before, he thought that Paradise Town was just a small fry that couldn't be taken seriously, so his moves were relatively casual, mainly focusing on intimidation.
But now, he has decided to treat the other party as a real competitor who is qualified to play at the table.
And the next week will be the strategic decisive battle between the two games!
Now that he completely valued the other party, Shi Yi's moves would have to be upgraded.
He wanted to let the other party understand that Youyi Company was able to achieve its current position, and that he, Shi, was not just a pushover.
Shi Yi rested his chin and thought.
Should he refuse to put 《Trash Talk Life》 on the Youyi platform?
He almost immediately rejected this idea.
There are more than just Paradise Town on Youyi Workshop. Thousands of small and medium-sized manufacturers in China rely on this platform to survive.
After all, the commission rate as low as 20% can be said to be quite attractive. This is also the biggest reason why Youyi was able to defeat Tenghui's ME-GAME in the two-player battle for game platforms.
If there is no legitimate reason to rashly ban Paradise Town's game, it will make the other small and medium-sized manufacturers on the platform unstable and switch to other platforms.
That would be driving his own wealth gods away.
What he needs is just to kill the chicken to warn the monkey, not to burn down the monkey mountain with a fire.
Looking at the development content deliberately displayed in the Land Feather Demon development documentary, Shi Yi smiled:
“Oh? Playing mind games with me, huh? Then let's fight a psychological war.”
…
September 10th, Saturday.
《Boss Simulator》's official Weibo suddenly released a blockbuster message!
The game is about to sign the popular film and television star Su Yufan as its global spokesperson.
The Weibo post enthusiastically introduced Su Yufan's acting career:
「Born in 1990, Su Yufan showed extraordinary acting talent from a young age.
During his university years, he joined a talent show called 《The Birth of an Actor》, attracting the attention of many directors.
After graduating, Su Yufan entered the film and television industry, and with his domineering temperament, he became a top-tier new generation actor.
He has starred in the campus youth drama 《Youth Confession》, the workplace drama 《City Lights》, and the business war suspense drama 《Blazing Inferno》.
And in these three TV series, he has invariably played the role of a domineering president of different ages, and has been highly praised.
Subsequently, Su Yufan also began to dabble in the big screen. The film 《Counterattack Star Road》, in which he participated, was a double success at the box office and in terms of word-of-mouth.
In the film, he made his first self-breakthrough, playing a sinister, cunning, and scheming but also tough and tender villainous CEO, making this character surpass all the positive characters and become the most eye-catching character in the entire film.
He also won the Golden Rooster Award and the Thousand Flower Award for Best Actor that year.
As a professional president, Su Yufan becoming the spokesperson for 《Boss Simulator》 can be said to be a match made in heaven, and he deserves it.
What surprises will his joining bring to the game? Please look forward to it!」
This message, like a blockbuster bomb, detonated the entire Saturday's Weibo hot search.
Su Yufan's fans went to the game's Weibo to leave messages:
“Congratulations, baby, for getting a new endorsement. Play, must play!”
“A match made in heaven, support Brother Yufan!”
“Those who are willing to play with Brother Yufan are all good manufacturers. I'll support a few 648s at least!”
