#191 - Mr. Lu's Marathon (Please Order)
Seeing Peach Blossom Village embroiled in turmoil, Wan Wuyanya was quite anxious.
Unfortunately, he didn't know who the producer of Peach Blossom Village's new work, "Codename: Moe," was; otherwise, he would definitely give them a thorough talking-to and guide them in person.
He lamented:
“Other manufacturers are like carps crossing the river, utterly boring.”
“But Peach Blossom Village's moe-style games, that's the eternal land of gentle dreams.”
Wan Jia was stunned: "Grandpa, how did you fall for Peach Blossom Village's tricks too?"
……
The next day.
Peach Blossom Village announced its cooperation plan with Tenghui on its official Weibo.
"Dear Peach Blossom Village players,
We are pleased to announce that Peach Blossom Village will officially land on the ME-GAME platform! This is our new starting point.
At Peach Blossom Village, we have always been committed to creating the most creative and appealing games, and now, our dream will bloom on a new stage. We will join hands with Tenghui to bring more captivating works to our players.
Sincerely,
The Peach Blossom Village Team"
Soon, more and more comments appeared below the Weibo post:
“ME-GAME's market share is too small. Can the subsequent R\u0026D funding for the works entering the Celestial Dignity Cup keep up?”
“Although it hurts, I'm not optimistic. Peach Blossom Village's games are interesting, but ME-GAME's user experience is terrible, so terrible that I uninstalled it years ago and forgot my account.”
“Tenghui's 40% cut is too high. Peach Blossom Village's new work will probably be unsustainable.”
“Looking at this market share, I'm a little worried that Peach Blossom Village has chosen the wrong platform. What can you do with 20%?”
“Upstairs, there's no other platform to choose from besides this one. Do you expect a small factory like Peach Blossom Village to make its own game platform?”
“So, Peach Blossom Village made a mistake the moment it decided to form a feud with Youyi. Sigh.”
“I thought this year's Celestial Dignity Cup would be interesting, but it seems that Mileride will have a monopoly in the ACG game field.”
……
Youyi Company, Platform Operations Department.
Fan Langtao sat in the luxurious swivel chair in his office, with a smug look on his face and a sly glint in his eyes. He fiddled with the coffee cup in his hand and took a sip of coffee.
Then, he picked up the phone on his desk, opened Weibo, and browsed Peach Blossom Village's announcement.
“Lu Yu, so this is your response?”
Fan Langtao sneered disdainfully.
He leaned back in his office chair, changed to a more comfortable posture, cocked his legs up with a smug look on his face.
In fact, he had already guessed that Peach Blossom Village might cooperate with Tenghui, but this kind of cooperation just sentenced Peach Blossom Village to a slow death.
After all, ME-GAME is struggling to survive now, and it is destined not to give Peach Blossom Village any development prospects.
He raised his coffee cup high, as if toasting to his wit and strategy.
Immediately, he recalled all kinds of things from his university days, raised the corners of his mouth triumphantly, and showed a sarcastic smile.
To be honest, Lu Yu's only response strategy really disappointed him. It seems that he had overestimated this kid before. That's all there is to it.
Before, when he learned that Lu Yu and Liu Mengyuan were living together, he was quite jealous, and he was almost grinding his back molars.
In fact, not only him, he believed that as long as those classmates back then learned this news, it would be like a bolt from the blue.
This is a very subtle emotion. Although they themselves could not climb up to this level of campus belle, they just hoped that "if we can't get it, you don't even think about getting it."
Therefore, this time, the blockade against Peach Blossom Village can not only achieve his small goal of breaking up Lu Yu and Liu Mengyuan, but also swallow Peach Blossom Village into Youyi's system, killing two birds with one stone!
With this record, why worry about promotion?
He even danced the tango happily in the office.
This feeling of smooth sailing is so simple, unadorned, and boring.
……
At this time, inside Peach Blossom Village, in the large group of the temporarily built platform R\u0026D project team, everyone was also discussing the online public opinion trends.
Zhang Fan sighed:
“Hey, it's so frustrating. Youyi only gave us a week to migrate. We can only make do with ME-GAME first. We are clearly making such an interesting platform and engine, but we can't share it with the players.”
Yao Jun said:
“Game platforms and game engines are products that are constantly accumulating and iterating technology, so don't be impetuous. Take one step at a time.”
Island owner server programmer Wu Yintao said:
“I think, what President Lu means now is to let us make a platform that is almost usable. The key is to solve the problem from scratch.”
Wu Siling shook her head and said: "However, according to President Lu's character and his past experiences of fighting Youyi head-on, President Lu may not swallow this breath."
He Chuming tentatively asked: "Why don't we go and explore President Lu's intentions again?"
Everyone in the project team group collectively @Liu Mengyuan.
After all, what could be a more reliable information acquisition channel than the pillow talk between the young couple?
So Liu Mengyuan, carrying everyone's expectations, walked to Lu Yu's workstation.
“Recently, players are very worried about the prospects of our platform transition. Should we take any action?”
Lu Yu rolled his eyes. Good gracious, did you guys with thick eyebrows and big eyes want to make me work harder again?
He quickly comforted:
“Well, I think everyone can completely relax. Take the game platform thing slowly. It's like a marathon race. There's no need to rush to sprint.
It's good for everyone to enjoy the scenery along the way in life. Don't be so nervous.”
Lu Yu's meaning is very obvious. You just need to make this platform for me. I am more concerned about whether you are enjoying life and lying flat enough in this process.
When Liu Mengyuan repeated Lu Yu's words to the project team members, everyone whispered and said different things.
Suddenly!
Zhang Fan slammed his head, and his mohawk shook from side to side.
“I understand, I understand everything!”
“Speak quickly!” The others urged.
Zhang Fan: "President Lu wants us to launch our own game platform and engine as soon as possible and directly slap Youyi's platform department in the face."
Hao Shuwen: "But isn't a marathon a slow run?"
Zhang Fan: "Stupid, let me ask you, although a marathon is a slow running sport, what is the first step of this sport?"
Everyone's eyes lit up: "Start?"
“That's right!”
Zhang Fan continued to explain:
“Although our platform and engine need to be continuously iterated in the long term, we must first take the first step before talking about other things. And the starting position is very important. In other words, President Lu wants us to launch a new platform as soon as possible, the sooner the better!”
Everyone suddenly realized: "So that's it. Fortunately, we have Mr. Zhang's guidance, otherwise we would have almost missed the big event!"
Liu Mengyuan fell into deep thought at this time. Although she decided to launch it as soon as possible, according to Lu Yu's character of pursuing perfection in everything, the requirements for the newly launched platform would be very high.
How can we carry out development work that guarantees both quality and quantity?
Liu Mengyuan pondered for a moment, and suddenly thought of something, and opened Mo Xiaoxuan's skill tree on the system interface.
[Healing Sweet Girl: When Mo Xiaoxuan wears white silk healing girl clothes (such as nurse uniforms, maid costumes, pure white JK sailor suits, bubble skirts), the company's employees' fatigue during game development is reduced by 15%, and their concentration is increased by 15%. The effect lasts for 24 hours (can be upgraded).
Note: If used with white cream, the skill effect is doubled.
Skill cooldown time: 15 days (can be shortened by upgrading)]
White cream…
She looked at Mo Xiaoxuan and curled her lips.
It's time to try the aura effect of Mo Xiaoxuan's "cross-dressing大佬" skill tree!
Mo Xiaoxuan felt numb all over when Liu Mengyuan looked at him. He guessed that since President Lu and President Liu were a young couple, President Lu must have told her that he was the fourth sister milk candy.
In other words, the fourth sister should appear.
Mo Xiaoxuan silently closed his eyes and accepted his fate.
……
Fifteen minutes later, in everyone's stunned eyes, Fourth Sister Milk Candy refreshed in the office area.
This time, she COSed Neko Paradise's Niki, wearing a rainbow-colored suspender vest tutu skirt, with translucent white silk stockings flashing an attractive luster under the skirt,
Two soft cat ears drooped softly on her head, and a head of fluffy yellow hair was scattered over her shoulders,
Pink lips were slightly pouted, and her red pupils revealed playfulness. She lightly held a cotton candy stick in her hand, and syrup dripped between her fingertips, exuding an alluring sweet fragrance.
Behind her, followed a cotton candy machine, the sound of a portable speaker sounded, and Milk Candy spun lightly, her skirt fluttering.
She operated the machine with slender fingers, and the syrup was evenly wrapped on the thick wooden rod, forming a pink soft ball.
She lightly licked her lips with her small tongue, revealing a smile:
“Meow~ Be careful, don't let me sweeten your heart~”
Milk Candy's cat voice was gentle and charming, as if a cute kitten was acting coquettishly.
“Oh hoo!”
“Fourth sister is still so cute!”
“So sweet, so sweet!”
Many of the LSP present showed fierce wolf-like eyes.
Milk Candy hasn't refreshed in the office area for a long time, and the LSPs have been holding back for a long time.
Today, since she is here, then it is impossible to let her leave easily!
