#213 - Mr. Lu is popular again? (2 in 1 please order)
The day's outing finally ended with some excitement.
Lu Yu checked the latest system interface.
The income of Leisure Points was good. Recently, this group of try-hards finally didn't have time to grind, which is great!
Although there was a small accident during the trip, it wasn't a big deal.
Moreover, this enjoyment trip has only been going on for a little over a week, so the therapeutic effect must be further increased!
To some extent, Lu Yu was slowly testing the system's limits. As long as the system didn't pop up a warning, he would continue to increase the benefits of team-building.
Until he completely triggered the warning.
Heh heh heh, all according to plan!
However, since the employees had just been frightened, Lu Yu specially comforted them, saying:
"In short, this little episode is not important, ah, not important.
What's important is that everyone should learn about the beautiful aspects of life from this trip.
Like, getting up close and personal with nature in the rainforest, completely abandoning the worries of the world, and so on."
"…"
Although they didn't know what President Lu was up to, the employees silently kept his words in mind.
...
In the evening, the group returned to the hotel in Xishuangbanna city by tour bus.
At the hotel, the employees began to excitedly discuss the day's thrilling experiences in the development group chat.
Many employees @'ed Zhang Qiqi in the group:
"Damn, Sister Qiqi, you're too awesome, you're practically the king of the beasts."
"Um… is that term appropriate to describe a girl?"
Another group of employees sighed: "How should I put it? I think the chase between President Lu and the elephant was more exciting."
Ye Kun, a new level designer from the Hyperdimensional Moe Girls team, said:
"I once heard President Liu say that a mature Peach Garden employee should learn to understand President Lu's intentions on their own.
President Lu told us today to 'learn about the beautiful aspects of life'.
This sentence must have a deeper meaning."
Ma Yanyu, the team's system planner, said: "Does President Lu mean that we should see through the appearance to the essence and add new gameplay to the game from today's experience?"
The others in the group sent approving emoticons.
Ma Yanyu smiled and said:
"Ahem, then I'll start by throwing out a brick to attract jade.
President Lu used bananas as a weapon to lure the elephant away from President Liu. This bunch of bananas was picked by President Lu from a tree next to him.
Isn't President Lu hinting to us that anything can be a weapon!
Therefore, I plan to add a 'randomly generated equipment' system to our project.
The specific principle is the same as the randomly generated principle of the moe girls.
Players can use any item generated in the open world as a weapon, such as a headband, bread, or a cat,
instead of being limited to those medieval weapons in the traditional sword and magic worldview."
After Ma Yanyu finished speaking, the chat in the group began to be spammed:
"Wow, that sounds a bit cool. The birth of moe girls is already a very random gameplay. If you add the randomness of equipment, the randomness of each player account's world will be maxed out."
Du Biao, the server developer of the project team, complained:
"Good lord, you planners have really opened your minds. Does no one feel sorry for this old bone of mine?"
Technical Director Chu Xiong:
"Brother Biao, don't worry, have you forgotten that we have the 'Peach Garden Creation' self-developed engine?
Open-world games with rich randomness are definitely the future trend of the game industry. Our Peach Garden must not give up eating for fear of choking, so Yao Jun, Zhang Fan, and I have strengthened the relevant features in the game engine to try to preserve your hair volume."
Du Biao: "That sounds good. Okay, in that case, you can just open your minds and do whatever you want. I'll accompany you to the end!"
In fact, Du Biao's words just now were just a complaint.
The project team members knew very well that "Hyperdimensional Moe Girls Appraisal Guide" was Peach Garden's next-generation flagship project, and it was also Peach Garden's first cross-platform open-world game, and it was also the face of Peach Garden to participate in the "Celestial Venerable Cup".
Although President Lu didn't say it, he must be extremely concerned and value this project in his heart.
This also made the new members of the project team feel a lot of pressure.
The results of this new work must exceed "Carefree Trash Talk Life" by an order of magnitude, otherwise it will give the outside world the impression that Peach Garden is still standing still.
President Lu must have organized this trip for this reason, to encourage everyone to regain their confidence and develop works that they can proudly face the players.
He really, I'm moved to tears!
With Ma Yanyu taking the lead, everyone opened their minds like crazy with gratitude to President Lu.
Xu Qin, the exclusive translator of the project team's copywriter and producer Wan Xiaotong, said:
"The game's worldview is a story that spans three eras: ancient, modern, and future.
Then in ancient times, there must be primitive jungles. We can completely design a lot of primitive tribal styles, as well as fierce beasts like mammoths.
Even, we can add an 'Animal Crossing' mode to the game:
The moe girls cultivated by players can interact with various dangerous or cute animals to complete some limited-time levels together."
Wang Feifei, another level designer girl in the project team:
"I got it, I thought of an idea. Let's take President Lu's encounter today and make an 'Elephant Collision Challenge'.
This is a special parkour gameplay. Players need to cleverly avoid the collision of the elephant behind them, but also need to constantly avoid the interference of various bushes and flying birds and animals in front of them, and complete the task within the specified time."
Ding Wenping, the numerical planner of the project team, continued:
"I have a gut feeling suggestion, this Animal Crossing mode, in the primitive ancient stage, there are still many gameplay to explore.
For example, we can design a large number of rainforest adventures. Players can interact with various primitive beasts to unlock hidden missions and treasures.
And can get various special props rewards, after triggering through 'Moe God Crystal', you can cultivate exclusive rare moe girls."
Copywriter Xu Qin continued:
"I can construct a special plot branch - 'Heart of the Rainforest'.
This series of epic missions tells the story of the Griffin, an elf tribe that has lived in this primeval forest for generations.
Depending on the player's choice, the plot in the game will have different developments, and dungeons centered on the rainforest will also be unlocked.
For example, the mammoth defense battle - the plot will trigger a large-scale epic battle, players need to fight against the elephants to protect the peace of the rainforest.
At the climax of the story, players and Griffin's fairies are driven away and forced to carry out extreme survival challenges in the rainforest.
For this reason, a survival mode can be designed, players need to survive in the rainforest, facing the test of resources such as food and water."
Ye Kun continued:
"Since the scene of President Lu dealing with the elephant has been made into the game, then Sister Qiqi's songstress ability naturally cannot be absent."
Speaking of Zhang Qiqi, the new employees of Peach Garden couldn't help but admire her.
Many of them had watched the EASTJOY exhibition live recording before and were deeply attracted by Zhang Qiqi's Death Song ult.
At this moment, Wan Xiaotong, who had been diving in the group for a long time, suddenly popped up:
"In the depths of the tree sea under the protection of the World Tree, compose a dreamy movement."
"??????"
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what Wan Xiaotong was up to.
Exclusive translator Xu Qin typed a long string of words in the group chat:
"Miss Wan means that since our game is sword and magic, why not make this rainforest into a wide tree sea, in the center of the tree sea, stands a towering World Tree,
and the story of the Griffin tribe is about the fairy family guarding the World Tree for generations.
Then, in this Animal Crossing, players can unlock a limited gameplay called 'Lost Movement', by collecting melody note fragments hidden in nature, to obtain extra skill bonuses."
The more they designed, the more excited they became!
Many planner girls who were very unconfident in their hearts were overjoyed!
Until now, the members of the project team understood President Lu's good intentions.
Why did the project team fall into a bottleneck of design and creativity before?
There is only one reason - working behind closed doors!
And now, President Lu tells them through personal practice, what is art derived from life!
They finally understand why the seniors of Peach Garden say that President Lu often has the word "life" on his lips.
In fact, this real world is an inexhaustible source of inspiration.
In order to let them experience this, President Lu did not hesitate to spend a month and a large amount of budget to take the whole company across most of China to travel to the primeval forest.
For our growth, he actually went to this extent!
Many employees of the Hyperdimensional Moe Girls team couldn't help but have tears in their eyes.
[The 30 employees of Peach Garden are grateful for your guidance, feel happy, resonate and critically strike, Leisure Points +500!]
Lu Yu, who was lying on the bed with his legs crossed, planning his next itinerary, was so shocked that he jumped up.
What the heck?
What's the situation?
Why did the newcomers of the Hyperdimensional Moe Girls team burst out with so many points?
After thinking about it for a while, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.
On closer thought, that's right, he had already hinted to this extent, even the most dull idiot would know the profound meaning he wanted to convey against internal competition.
Very good, it was not in vain for me to put in so much effort.
Keep it up, the company will have a lot of benefits in the future!
Lu Yu hummed a little tune happily and opened the DiliDili barrage website out of boredom.
When he opened the D station software, a term on the hot search list caught his eye.
#A young man fights an elephant in the Xishuangbanna rainforest#
The first video on the hot search was the scene of Lu Yu taking the bananas and leading the elephant away from Liu Mengyuan, which was filmed by tourists at the time.
This video broke 3 million views in less than half a day.
The barrage was frantically spammed:
"What the hell, how can elephants be so fierce?!"
The latest novels are first published on Liu Jiu Jiu Shu Ba!
"Did anyone notice that he's holding a banana? Laughing to death!"
"What kind of divine operation is this? He can actually play with elephants so happily?"
"Elephant: If you dare to guide me, I'll chase you, chase you until you hehehe!"
"Rainforest adventure, I also want to participate, the previous ones were all shopping tours, not interesting at all!"
"Newbie here, is this the rainforest version of 'Zootopia'?"
Next, the screen showed Zhang Qiqi's Death Song ult, which was really a "All the birds have vanished, and all human tracks have disappeared."
The barrage was spammed even harder:
"What the hell? Are you sure this isn't a doomsday movie?"
"Damn, seeing the elephants falling down in pieces, this scene is too shocking?"
"Wait a minute, hey wait a minute, why does this girl look a bit familiar? Isn't this the girl who used Death Song ult at the last EASTJOY?"
"Looking closely, it's true, the faces are exactly the same, both are kawaii!"
"So, the employees of Peach Garden are out for team building again?"
"Wow, the benefits of this company are too good, someone photographed them strolling around the ancient city of Gusu last month."
"The man who was holding bananas to lure the elephant just now looks a bit familiar, he should be President Lu of Peach Garden! He gave a speech on stage at the previous Game Industry Annual Meeting, definitely not wrong."
"So, what does Peach Garden do? It always feels like they are either playing or on the way to playing, I admit I'm jealous…"
...
At this time, Liu Mengyuan took a shower in the room,
Wearing a bathrobe, she took out her mobile phone to check, and saw the D station hot search at a glance, she couldn't help but chuckle.
However, in the video, Lu Yu was facing away from her, facing the tall back of the elephant, which made her a little lost again.
"Hmph, he's clearly a man who doesn't have the courage to confess to the girl he likes, what's he showing off here."
Liu Mengyuan muttered, but a happy blush appeared on her face.
Looking at Lu Yu's handsome back in the photo, Liu Mengyuan's expression was a little dazed.
She fell into a brief memory.
...
That was a rainy night when she was six years old.
At that time, she had a sudden illness of unknown cause, with a high fever,
The family doctor was unable to do anything, unable to find out the cause,
and the ambulance was stuck on the road,
The young Liu Lan was already frightened, Liu Mengyuan vaguely remembered,
her father, Pei Yu, carrying her, who was only six years old, ran madly towards the direction of the ambulance.
At that time, the weak Liu Mengyuan leaned on her father's thick back like this, looking at her father's back, she felt a sense of security in her heart.
In a trance, Lu Yu's back overlapped with the back at that time.
She took out the sachet that her father had left her before and gently placed it on her chest.
"Dad, you don't have to worry, I have found a very reliable person, we will definitely find you, no matter where you are in this world.
Then, our family of three can reunite."
However, as soon as she finished saying this, her head had another unexplained sting,
This sting seemed to be reminding her that she had forgotten something very important.
The girl's eyes fell into confusion again, and she fell asleep.
...
Not far from her room, Xia Shangyu also fell on the bed, looking at the chandelier on the ceiling in confusion.
Honestly, this headhunting job is much harder than she imagined. She never expected the employee benefits at Peach Blossom Valley to be so incredible, so incredible that she herself was a little tempted.
Moreover, it wasn't just the material benefits; the work atmosphere and the employees' morale at Peach Blossom Valley were unlike anything she had encountered when poaching from other companies before.
How should she put it? Although the saying "Don't treat colleagues as friends" is an iron rule in the workplace, the colleagues at Peach Blossom Valley really seemed to get along so naturally, like a family.
This made Xia Shangyu, who was used to the floating dust of the business world, feel a little moved inside…
But when she thought of Liu Lan's frosty queen face, she suddenly woke up and patted her cheeks.
Don't daydream, Xia Shangyu, you just need to complete your mission.
...
The following Monday, Lu Yu sent an email to all employees, asking them to pack their luggage and prepare to leave the rural area of Xishuangbanna for a nearby village.
Everyone carried their suitcases, looking confused, wondering what kind of medicine President Lu was selling in his gourd again.
Lu Yu smiled on the bus: "Actually, the tall buildings in the city are a kind of invisible shackles. You should go to farmhouses more often to experience the most simple and honest emotions."
In the evening, the bus arrived at the destination village.
From a distance, it looked like a beautiful painting, full of original ecological scenery and a leisurely and peaceful atmosphere.
The village is located at the foot of a lush green mountain, surrounded by layers of terraced fields.
The terraced fields are like a huge oil painting, changing into different colors with the seasons, from emerald green to golden yellow, like a palette of the earth. The sun shines on the terraced fields, emitting a faint golden light, like a golden ocean.
Everyone carried their suitcases and slowly walked up the narrow mountain road.
The village is surrounded by dense green trees, and a crystal clear stream meanders through it, with gurgling water and patches of tender green grass on the banks.
The houses in the village are built on the hillside, mainly with adobe and wood, simple and full of rural flavor.
In the center of the village, there is an ancient land temple, which is still solemn and sacred despite its age.
Everyone gathered in a square in the center of the village, observing the leisurely life of the people in the village.
The villagers mostly make a living by farming, working diligently in the fields, and looking up to see the blue sky, white clouds, birds, and flowers.
In the evening, the old people at the entrance of the village gather under the big tree to chat and gossip.
And around the village, there are also some original natural landscapes, such as canyons, waterfalls, and forests. There is no noisy city here, no complicated affairs, only fresh air and quiet mountains and rivers.
The employees of Peach Blossom Valley couldn't help but feel refreshed.
Seeing this change on the employees' faces, Lu Yu seized the opportunity and continued to teach earnestly in front of a group of employees, brainwashing them to lie flat:
"Actually, pursuing success is human nature, but it is not necessarily the only goal in life.
Even, you can completely define another kind of success from a different perspective.
For example, these small and ordinary rural lives, aren't they also joy and happiness?
Who dares to say that these health-preserving lives are not successful?
You are always lost in the big city, which is not good. Come here more often to enjoy the rural atmosphere. Moreover, this time, I will give you an important task here."
Everyone asked curiously, "What task?"
"Learn how to attend a feast." President Lu smiled slightly.
