#316 - Succubus Aura just took effect, the system is messing up again, a new cycle to make a FPS mas
A prompt continued to pop up in front of Lu Yu:
[Congratulations on completing the extra cycle task: Releasing a VR game, reward a random surprise effect lottery]
Subsequently, the lottery turntable began to spin, and burst out with purple light:
[Spring Gathering Lv2: In the next 120 days, when company employees go out to participate in recreational activities, the probability of critical hits and combos increases by 60% after the host obtains leisure points from employees.]
Lu Yu was overjoyed when he saw this.
Another good buff for earning points!
Go out to participate in recreational activities? That's exactly what I have in mind!
Lu Yu felt that the company's various systems for earning points had currently reached a bottleneck.
If he takes the employees out to enjoy themselves next time, it might have miraculous effects!
He has to pick and choose from the entertainment projects and figure out what kind of fun things to do.
The system continued to prompt:
[A new extra task for this cycle has been received]
[Extra Task: Before the cycle settlement, release a new VR game made by Taoyuan Township Company. The theme of the game needs to be first-person shooter, and the budget invested in the project needs to be no less than 300 million.]
[Task Reward: Random Surprise Effect]
Lu Yu felt a little relieved when he saw this new task.
First-person shooter?
That's fine!
To put it bluntly, it is not easy to make this type of game a hit. It requires requirements for the feel of gun operation and level design.
However, if you want to make it mediocre and rotten, there are too many bad works to refer to. There are countless ready-made examples from his previous life alone that he can refer to.
[Congratulations, the leisure points for the previous cycle have reached the standard, triggering the surprise task for this cycle]
[Surprise Task 2: Era of Play]
[Acquire or establish a new subsidiary to expand the new trendy toy business line, and accumulate 35,000 leisure points from the employees of the new company]
[Task Success Reward: Leisure Master]
[Reward Description: This buff lasts for 120 days. During this period, the host's own leisure points are X3, and the company employees' leisure points are X1.5.]
[Task Failure Penalty: Male Succubus]
[Reward Description: This debuff lasts for 120 days. When the host is alone with a romantic partner, the probability of attracting the other party to take the initiative to start a battle greatly increases, and applies the combat state to the combatant: "Guts Lv1"
Guts Lv1: During combat, even if exhausted and mentally confused, will continue to maintain combat posture until the end of the battle (this skill upgrades with the number of battles)]
[This task has been automatically accepted and cannot be abandoned]
Lu Yu was dumbfounded when he saw this task.
Toys?
What toys?
Are they the kind of toys he understands?
Moreover, what the heck is the male succubus as a task failure penalty!
Why does the Leisurely Lay-Win System trigger such strange task rewards?
If he becomes a male succubus...
Lu Yu glanced at Liu Mengyuan beside him.
Recently, this girl has been desperately stewing turtle soup for him. These days, she even used her feet when he was lying on the sofa pretending to be asleep...
Good heavens, if he gets this debuff, who knows what methods this girl will use on him?
Therefore, for this cycle, he must complete this task!
No, it should be said that he has no way out!
......
At the same time, a system light curtain continued to pop up in front of Liu Mengyuan:
[Congratulations, the proficiency points obtained by the host in the previous cycle have reached the standard, and the system has opened a new function]
[Talent scrolls in the system store will be open to company employees]
[Note: If the host uses talent scrolls on employees, the proficiency points required will be 10 times the host's own consumption]
Liu Mengyuan was pleasantly surprised to see the newly unlocked function!
Because "talent" exists independently of the skill tree and cannot be upgraded through acquired training. Talent is something you either have from birth, or you can't get it for the rest of your life.
Therefore, opening this permission is equivalent to allowing her to open new cheats for more company employees!
However, when she opened the system store and saw the price of talents for employees, she was immediately dumbfounded.
Good heavens!
Usually, she spends at most 1,000 points to buy a talent in the system store, but unexpectedly, the price of talents for employees is easily several thousand points, or even tens of thousands of points.
Originally, through the accumulation of the previous few cycles, she had accumulated nearly 50,000 proficiency points and was worried about how to spend them.
As a result, now, these 50,000 points can be spent by buying talents for a few employees.
Although the price is very high, Liu Mengyuan decided to grit her teeth and buy a few anyway.
There's no way, you can't catch wolves without letting go of your children!
Now, the company's scale is getting bigger and bigger, and her personal talent accounts for a smaller and smaller proportion of project contributions. From a long-term investment perspective, these proficiency points are worth spending!
She opened the system store, and a brand new interface unfolded in front of her.
The left side of the interface is the product list, and the right side of the interface is the Q version of the cartoon avatars of all current employees of the company, which can be sorted according to gender, age, type of work, and management level.
Clicking on each Q version of the little person can also view the employee's current exclusive skill tree and the proficiency points of various skills.
Liu Mengyuan only needs to slide her finger across the screen to drag the scroll onto the head of the corresponding Q version of the little person to complete the purchase.
Her eyes sparkled.
Interesting!
It has the feel of a simulation management game!
After that, she began to browse the scrolls in the store with relish, thinking about cultivation strategies.
After a little thought, she decided to give priority to buying talents for the two employees, Xia Shangyu and Li Hongmei.
The reason is very simple,
Game companies are all light-asset IT companies. What is the most important wealth for such companies?
Of course, it's people!
And Xia Shangyu and Li Hongmei are the headhunting director and human resources director, respectively, which directly determines the quality of the company's talent.
Liu Mengyuan paid 15,000 proficiency points to purchase a talent for Xia Shangyu:
[Singularity Discovery: Naturally has the characteristic of discovering more unconventional and maverick strange teams.]
In fact, Liu Mengyuan hesitated before buying this talent.
No one can guarantee whether the people Xia Shangyu recruits with this talent will be geniuses or freaks,
But after picking and choosing for a long time, this is the most suitable talent for her.
Moreover, how should I put it, there are already many weird people in the company, so it doesn't matter if there are more.
She paid another 15,000 points to purchase a talent for Li Hongmei:
[Network Topologist: Naturally has high sensitivity to interpersonal relationship networks, and can conduct viral dissemination of recruitment information through employees' acquaintance networks, and more quickly discover potential unique individuals.]
This talent is actually a more advanced "internal referral" and is very suitable for Li Hongmei.
After that, Liu Mengyuan used the remaining 20,000 points in her hand to purchase a talent for the technical director, Chu Xiong:
[Mutated Hacker: Naturally has a talent for code, and is more likely to make technological breakthroughs in the fields of computer graphics and artificial intelligence, but the direction of technological breakthroughs is uncontrollable and it is easy to mutate strange technologies, so be careful.]
After purchasing this talent, Liu Mengyuan discovered a problem.
These talents in the store basically have both risks and opportunities, and are quite uncontrollable.
But after thinking for a while, she was relieved.
What is talent?
That is naturally the unique characteristic that is inherent.
Whether it is Van Gogh or Nietzsche, in the eyes of others, they are all eccentric freaks, but they are all people who have left their names in history.
Why is there a saying that geniuses are always lonely?
......
After closing the system store, the system continued to prompt her:
[Congratulations, you have reached the trigger conditions for a new surprise task, the task has been automatically accepted]
[Surprise Task 2: Playing with Things Without Losing Ambition]
[Acquire or establish a new subsidiary to expand the new trendy toy business line, and accumulate 35,000 proficiency points related to career from the employees of the new company]
[Task Success Reward: 35,000 Proficiency Points]
[Task Failure Penalty: Deduct 35,000 Proficiency Points from the Host]
[Need to remind the host to pay attention, if the task fails, and the proficiency points balance in the host's account is not enough to offset the deduction, then as an additional penalty, the "Dark Succubus" state on the host will automatically continue for 120 days.]
[This task has been automatically accepted and cannot be abandoned]
Liu Mengyuan was dumbfounded.
What the heck is the debuff automatically continuing for 120 days?!
Good heavens, system, you are tricking me!
First unlock the new functions of the store, induce me to spend all my proficiency points, and then tell me the task penalty for the new cycle?!
After being tricked, Liu Mengyuan sighed silently.
There's no way, I have to go all out in this cycle and earn enough points no matter what!
She silently turned to Lu Yu and silently recited in her heart:
Especially need to pay attention to the company's various perverted welfare plans, as well as werewolf killing, the little point-earning king I have painstakingly cultivated can no longer become a waste!
......
In the evening, Lu Yu and Liu Mengyuan sat on the sofa in the rental house watching TV as usual.
Lu Yu wiped the remaining thick soup from the corner of his mouth with a tissue.
For today's dinner, Liu Mengyuan specially cooked a large table of nourishing meals.
In addition to the increased turtle soup, there was also wolfberry mutton soup, stir-fried kidney, Rehmannia glutinosa ginseng soup...
He burped and said to Liu Mengyuan:
I'm thinking, our family's recipe doesn't need to be so nourishing, right?
Liu Mengyuan whispered:
I think you should nourish yourself, otherwise you may be in danger in the next 120 days.
??????????
Lu Yu was shocked: "What?"
Oh, I'm talking to myself, it's nothing...
Liu Mengyuan took the remote control and changed the channel guiltily.
Her saying this is by no means alarmist.
At this time, the system's status bar shows that since the "Dark Succubus" state was activated, the probability of triggering those buff auras accumulated in the previous pampered wife skill tree has greatly increased!
Now, she and Lu Yu have a long list of passive skills and buffs:
[Massage Technique Lv3]
[Equipment Maintenance·Domain Lv1]
[Atmosphere Mobilization Lv1]
[War Maiden Unparalleled Lv1]
[Equipment Maintenance·Finger Fragrance Lv1]
[Talent 1: Charming Smile]
[Talent 2: Rebirth from Fire]
[Talent 3: Epic Battle]
[Talent 4: Rain After a Long Drought]
[Dark Succubus (120 days)]
......
Speechlessly looking at this long list of dense buffs, Liu Mengyuan doubted her life a little.
Not to mention the other skills on her body, the number of upgrades in eating skills and cat-stroking skills is simply unparalleled.
She even had the illusion that in the previous few cycles, she had mastered more of these weird skills than serious career skills?!
Is this reasonable?
While Liu Mengyuan was doubting her life, Lu Yu also opened his mobile phone bank.
The bank card balance is more than 8 million,
This is the wool he has accumulated from the Leisurely Lay-Win System in the past year.
Is 8 million a lot?
He remembered that in his previous life, his initial internship monthly salary was at most three thousand, and the rent and prices in Jianghai City were so expensive,
So in the first month of his internship, he survived on egg noodles and Lao Gan Ma.
Even according to his producer status that he finally managed to achieve in his previous life, this 8 million would take him ten years of not eating or drinking to save.
What's more, after being reborn, he can not only get wool from the system, but also lying down!
Enjoying leisure every day, the quality of life is so high that it cannot be compared with the miserable involution life of the previous life.
In addition, he confessed to Liu Mengyuan, started a business with his good brothers in college, met many interesting new friends, made up for many regrets in the past, and the system also included a company with a monthly revenue of over 100 million.
From these perspectives, he has nothing to be dissatisfied with.
However, from another perspective, is 8 million really a lot?
He pondered for a moment and asked Liu Mengyuan:
Well, should we move out of the current rental house and I'll buy a house in the city?
Liu Mengyuan was stroking Da Bai in her arms and looked up in a slightly daze:
Why are you suddenly saying this?
Lu Yu smiled: "Look, this is still an old and broken house after all, not as good as a good house in the city, and renting a house is always inconvenient."
Liu Mengyuan:
I don't think it's necessary, we live here quite comfortably,
And the neighbors are very nice, and I can't bear to part with Da Bai.
Lu Yu scratched his head. The company's villa has everything he wants to enjoy. Apart from spending some more money to buy some new home appliances for his parents, he really doesn't know how to spend this money.
After he said his thoughts, Liu Mengyuan smiled:
Then save it, wait until you buy something more satisfactory in the future.
Lu Yu nodded suddenly:
That's right!
Whether 8 million is enough to spend depends on what kind of life you pursue,
When you reach a higher level of life, there will be higher consumption to match it. If you really want to spend it, it's like sprinkling water, and it will be spent immediately.
Not to mention anything else, just talking about houses, he understands that there is a world of difference between houses!
He had previously watched a Bilibili content creator called "Uncle Xiao Ai." The houses he visited were all top-tier large apartments and villas, costing tens of millions at every turn.
The episode that impressed him the most was a visit to a villa in the outskirts of the Imperial Capital. The area of the private library alone was larger than many residences themselves.
Wanting this, Lu Yu had the motivation to continue exploiting the system's resources.
At the very least, he had to fleece it for a few small goals first, to achieve true leisure and freedom!
...
Seeing that Lu Yu was still in deep thought, Liu Mengyuan said softly:
"Actually, I think the most important aspect of the concept of 'home' isn't a pile of reinforced concrete, but the 'people' themselves. As long as you live with people you care about, wherever you go, that's home."
Lu Yu was clearly deeply touched by these words, his body slightly trembling.
Suddenly!
The look in his eyes as he gazed at Liu Mengyuan became unusually fervent, filled with deep affection.
His throat also gradually became dry, and he blurted out subconsciously:
"Yuanyuan..."
"Eh?"
Suddenly being called by her affectionate nickname, Liu Mengyuan couldn't help but blush and her heart race, shyly playing with the remote control.
The atmosphere between the two began to heat up, and the entire atmosphere of the living room gradually became ambiguous, as if the air had turned pink.
Dabai watched for a moment, broke free from Liu Mengyuan's arms, jumped onto the windowsill, and left.
Before leaving, a knowing smile appeared on its chubby cat face.
After the two gazed at each other affectionately for a moment, Liu Mengyuan suddenly became alert!
That's not right!
Lu Yu's eyes were dazed and unfocused, completely different from his usual state.
Could it be that the 'Dark Charm Succubus' aura had begun to take effect?!
Liu Mengyuan looked at the long string of buffs in the system status bar, her expression complex.
She could tell that Lu Yu didn't have much dating experience either.
If the two of them started the ultimate showdown directly, someone would probably die.
For the sake of safety and stability, Liu Mengyuan decided to proceed gradually, allowing both parties to slowly adapt to each other...
She walked to Lu Yu's side, leaned over, and whispered in his ear:
"You should go to sleep."
This voice was sweet, as if it had a unique magic to it.
Lying on the sofa, Lu Yu obediently listened and quietly covered himself with a blanket.
Liu Mengyuan gently stroked Lu Yu's cheek.
At first, she was very afraid of the unknown existence and only dared to probe with her toes.
And now, it was time to take it a step further...
She silently put her little hand into the blanket.
...
Sleeping Lu Yu had another dream.
The content of the dream was still related to the Greek mythology storybook he had read before.
There was no other way, he had loved mythology since he was a child.
Since he came to the fairy forest in the northern part of Mount Olympus and defeated the Mushroom Brave, the goddess Aphrodite had been thinking about this interesting fairy tribe.
This time, during her morning trip to relax, she encountered the brave she had met before for the third time.
The brave saw Aphrodite from afar, turned around and ran away.
While running, he shouted:
"Great Zeus, your devout people beg you, take this crazy goddess back to Mount Olympus!
Every time you catch me, you don't kill me, you don't cut me, you make people vomit their breakfast, and then you slowly let people go.
What, is the milk I drink in the morning free?"
Aphrodite smiled and said, "Don't even think about escaping!"
The giant's feet stomped down, but this time the brave learned to be smart and dodged the giant's stomping attacks several times.
The giant smiled slightly, and a big hand struck swiftly, firmly grasping the brave in his hand.
"Damn it, why don't you play by the rules?"
The brave, who was firmly held by the giant, couldn't move.
He wanted to exert his muscles to break free, but the giant's palm was soft and dissipated all the force.
The giant's fingers playfully patted the brave's face:
"Try escaping again?"
Then, huge fingers stroked the brave's firm back.
"Damn it, don't insult me, uh ah ah ah ah ah!"
The brave was furious, his veins bulged all over his body, and the muscles on his body bulged again.
However, the body of a mortal is ultimately unable to resist the supreme existence.
After a long struggle, the brave was unable to break free from the palm of the god, and his stomach began to churn again...
...
Lu Yu woke up from his dream, sat up from the sofa, and glanced at the time on the TV.
He had slept for another hour this time.
He stretched and felt refreshed all over.
I have to say, this lazy sofa is worth the money!
He turned his head and glanced at Liu Mengyuan, and was stunned.
I saw that this girl was holding a yogurt box in her hand and was looking at the TV guiltily.
But she was obviously too absorbed in watching TV, and the yogurt drink in the box accidentally spilled all over her hands, constantly dripping onto the floor.
Lu Yu said helplessly: "Is there still enough yogurt at home? Should I buy a few more boxes?"
