Chapter 346: First Encounter with Chiling
The members of the Chiling project team drew closer to each other and improved the team's cohesion by madly diss-ing the big leader.

After blaming each other, the group became harmonious again and several members took turns to toast the producer, Tu Tuzi.

However, the difficulties faced by the project team were not resolved. After three rounds of drinks, Baldy brought up the old matter again and asked everyone to brainstorm and think about how to increase the players' online rate.

This is also the top priority of the project team right now. Unfortunately, although the people in Chiling all have cute names, they have no experience in making games.

After discussing for a long time, they still couldn't come up with any useful solutions. The marketing department even suggested kidnapping people and killing one or two disobedient ones, so that the rest would play the game obediently.

Baldy shook his head and said, "No, I have an agreement with the city manager. I promised not to use violence or cause a big commotion. Only then did he agree to let the project team work here. And you guys should stop thinking about fighting and killing all day long.

"Times have changed. We are now a game project team. We must actively adapt to our new identity and let games speak for us."

“But producer…the problem is that we have never made a game before.” Today Mengmeng spread his hands.

"That's true." The bald man frowned even deeper, and the others around him fell silent.

Since no one was talking in the hall anymore, the surrounding sounds became particularly clear.

Malu had already served the rest of the dishes and was now sitting at the counter, busy playing a skin-changing, pay-to-win mobile game he had just found in the afternoon to kill time.

Suddenly I felt the light above my head dim. I looked up and found that there were people standing around me without me noticing.

Being surrounded by a group of muscular men full of murderous intent gave Malu goose bumps all over his body.

Perhaps he noticed Malu's discomfort, so Baldy quickly dismissed his subordinates and put on a smile again, saying, "Boss Ma, we're playing games."

"Uh...is there something wrong with today's food?" Malu put down the phone in his hand.

"No, no, no, we eat very well," said Baldy.

"As expected of a restaurant with a chef from the universe, the food is delicious. And after eating the food from your restaurant, everyone has put aside their grudges and the team has become more united. Thank you so much."

"You're welcome. As long as you're satisfied."

After Malu finished speaking, he found that Tutuzi and others had not left.

"Anything else?"

"Does Boss Ma often play games?" Baldy rubbed his hands.

"Well... it's okay. I play various types of games on consoles, mobile games, and switch, but I can't be considered an expert. I just play for fun." Malu said.

"Oh, so Boss Ma, you have a wide range of interests." Baldy gave a thumbs up.

"Ah, I just get excited about every game I see, but usually the excitement fades after two or three days. Also, Baldy Producer, just say whatever you want to say, there's no need to keep beating around the bush."

"Okay, Boss Ma is worthy of being a boss, he is straightforward! You should have heard the situation. Brother, I recently developed a new game, but the online rate has been not very good.

"To be honest, my subordinates are actually quite capable, but like me, they are all novices in this field and have little experience. So we want to find someone who knows the business to help us figure out where the problem lies. I wonder if you are interested? Don't worry, the reward will definitely not be small."

Malu wanted to say "I'm not a professional either", but after hearing the last sentence, he changed his words and said, "Okay, I do like games, and I've been a bit out of games lately, so it's a good opportunity to try out a new game."

"Great!" Baldy was overjoyed when he heard that. He waved his hand and an employee from the marketing department immediately took out a CD from his bag. "Ah." Malu was stunned when he saw the CD, "Is it so retro? Is this a PS5 or Xbox game?"

"It's all right. Our game is multi-platform and can be played on a computer as well." said Baldy.

"But the problem is that few computers are equipped with CD-ROM drives nowadays. Oh, you have a website, don't you?" Malu thought of the website address on the business card. "Can't we just download it from the website?"

"No, the website is just a promotional page, but it has the phone number of our marketing department. If you want to play, you can contact us. Our colleagues in the marketing department will deliver the CD to your door." Baldy replied.

Malu was a little dizzy by his strange move, and spoke after a while.

"But... you still need a console or a computer with a CD drive to play it. This threshold alone will screen out a lot of people. Besides, most people can't accept the idea of ​​delivering CDs to their homes. Can't you just package the contents of the CD and put it online?"

"No." Baldy insisted, "Because the disc is necessary to start the game."

"Well, there's only one laptop in my store," Malu thought for a moment, "Wait a minute, I'll go borrow a game console first."

After that, he used QQ on his mobile phone to contact Zhen Ye upstairs and asked to borrow her PS5.

Unexpectedly, Zhen Ye also became interested when he heard about trying a new game. After obtaining Zhen Ye's consent, Malu and the members of the Chiling project team simply went to the second floor together.

Soon, the living room was filled with people.

Zhen Ye put the CD into the CD-ROM drive, and a new game icon appeared on the TV - Chiling.

The background is the picture of skeletons fighting passionately behind Baldy’s business card.

The installation was completed in less than a second, which is a good thing, but it makes people wonder whether the size of the new game is only a few dozen MB.

Zhen Ye sat cross-legged on the floor, picked up the controller, and clicked to play the game.

Then the screen went black and a cutscene began.

Not to mention, the cutscene is quite exquisite, and it looks like a real shot. People who don’t know much about it can’t tell that it was made by a small studio with only a dozen people.

The first shot is a minotaur sitting on a throne with flames all over his body, looking very majestic and powerful.

Then there was a voice-over.

The great immortal king, the lord of the City of Eternal Night, the future ruler of the Endless Abyss - the Furious Barbarian King Isagan calls on you.

Humble human, today is your lucky day. You will have the honor to join Lord Isagan's expeditionary force and become the pioneer of Chiling Town.

Contribute all your strength to Lord Isagan!
"Stop!" Malu said.

Zhen Ye immediately pressed the pause button.

"Who is this Isagun and why does he speak so arrogantly?" asked Malu.

The employees of the Chiling project team looked at each other. Coconut Milk Jelly then made a throat-cutting gesture to Baldy, who signaled her to stay calm.
