The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 45 Games are a field for creating miracles
When people get drunk, their voices tend to get louder.

Xu Meng's voice gradually became higher, and more and more employees stopped talking.

Everyone at each table fell silent and listened attentively to the boss's speech.

Xu Meng glanced at each employee, and blurted out his lofty ambitions:

"For the next game, let's jump out of the small pond of second-hand games and step into the broader world of games!"

“No need to draw cards! No need to cheat for money!”

“Develop a game that can truly gain the respect of the entire industry through gameplay rather than profitability!”

“We no longer have to dance with shackles because of the performance limitations of our mobile phones.”

“No need to worry about the difficulty for players to get started, just keep playing weak and soft.”

"You don't have to lie down and be sucked blood by the termites."

“I won’t be criticized by others from the moral high ground!”

“Dream Builder will become a world-class game development company, recognized by players all over the world!”

……

After getting drunk, Xu Meng became like a completely different person.

Extremely ambitious.

Ambitious.

The employees were also very supportive. They raised their glasses, shouted "the boss is awesome" and drank it all in one gulp.

It seemed that everyone was moved by the prospects described by the boss and was ready to embrace the bright future.

But Xu Meng was a little frozen.

——He really couldn’t drink anymore.

But now everyone looked at him expectantly.

So he had to tilt his head back and drink the glass of wine.

This time, his terrible alcohol tolerance finally reached its limit and he fell down drunk.

The assistant hurried to help.

Finally, with the help of muscular man Xu Fang, Xu Meng was sent to the booked room on the third floor of the hotel to rest.

The remaining employees continued to eat and drink.

I even drank more happily because my boss was gone.

……

……

When Xu Meng woke up again, the sun had already set.

He slept the whole afternoon and the dinner was over long ago.

Some of the drunk employees were still sleeping soundly in the hotel, while more of them took taxis home and dispersed.

After waking up, Xu Meng realized what he had done.

So I can't help but feel some regret.

——He does not plan to continue making two-dimensional games for the new game, and he has a rough plan in mind as to what to do specifically.

But this matter should not be said now.

After all, even if it is a new game, "Frost and Snow Project" needs to retain enough development and operation personnel to ensure the long-term operation of the game.

If the upcoming [Dragon Palace] gameplay can meet expectations, "Frost and Snow Project" will be able to break its initial fate of "creating a large wave of revenue for a short period of time, and then the popularity quickly dissipates", and become a hen that lays golden eggs.

When the time comes, the funding for developing new games will all depend on it.

Even if a large number of new employees are recruited, at least half of these old employees must remain in the "Frost and Snow Project" project team.

This is the only way to ensure that the subsequent operation of "Frost and Snow Plan" remains consistent.

It’s not like some games, where once the veteran employees leave, the new team starts messing around.

In the end, a good game became a place of complaints, old players left in large numbers, internet reputation exploded, and revenue was cut in half again and again.

Xu Meng would never let this happen again in "Frost and Snow Project".

But if he makes such a bold statement today, what if the old employees all want to make awesome new games and don’t want to stay and continue to work on the subsequent updates of "Frost and Snow Project"?
If I put myself in his shoes, if he were faced with such a choice, he would definitely say he would make a new game no matter what.

This really gave him a headache.

"Well, it's all Chen Mengling's fault for asking nonsense questions." Xu Meng quickly pushed the blame away and began to wonder whether she should make things difficult for her.

But before he could think of any crooked ideas, the young assistant pushed the door open and walked in.

There was a glass of honey water in his hand.

"Boss, you're awake!" The assistant was very happy. "I prepared some honey water for you. It can help digest alcohol and speed up metabolism."

"You should feel better if you drink it soon."

After the assistant said this, Xu Meng immediately felt dry in the mouth and took the cup and drank from it in big gulps.

"No one expected that you have such a low alcohol tolerance. You start talking drunkenly after just a few drinks."

"I won't let you drink like this next time." After drinking the sweet honey water, Xu Meng felt much more comfortable in his head, and the thought of "making trouble for me" disappeared.

But then he felt something was wrong.

Xu Meng blinked: "Drunk talk?"

The assistant looked at him with some confusion in his eyes: "Boss, do you remember what you said?"

"I remember!" Xu Meng confirmed, "But that's not drunken talk, I'm serious!"

"Ah?" The assistant was surprised. "Everyone thought you were drunk and was… uh, talking nonsense."

Xu Meng held his forehead speechlessly.

So he was worrying for nothing?
When he was making bold statements, were those employees with excited faces acting like him???

So no one believes it at all?
"You all think I'm going crazy?"

This should be good news, but for some reason Xu Meng felt a little depressed.

The assistant keenly noticed Xu Meng's complicated emotions and comforted her, "Boss, don't be sad."

"It's not that everyone doesn't believe you, it's just that the gap is too big."

"We are a second-tier game company. We don't want to make second-tier games for our new games. We want to make world-class games directly. No company in the whole Xia country can do that."

"We have just escaped the crisis of bankruptcy. The goal you set is indeed a bit too high and too far. It is normal for everyone to think it is unrealistic."

Well, after the assistant’s comfort, Xu Meng felt even more upset.

He knew it was normal for employees to have such thoughts.

But he knew better—

The game world is where miracles are created!

In this field, some people spent four and a half years learning design, coding, animation, painting, composition, recording, and writing all the copywriting in the game.

Work 7 days a week, 12 hours a day.

It took four years to complete the development of an entire game single-handedly.

It became a huge hit as soon as it was put on the shelves and continued to sell well around the world.

6 million copies sold in 2000 years, 8 million copies sold in 3000 years!

Also in this field, someone relied on a team of only 140 people and took six years to develop the first 3A-level game in China from scratch.

It topped the global sales charts on the day of its release.

Ten million sales in 4 days, 1800 million copies sold in two weeks, and rave reviews!
That being the case...

Why can’t we build dreams?

Even if miracles are hard to replicate.

It is not impossible for Xu Meng to develop the game steadily and receive excellent reviews.

But whoever seeks the upper part will get it, and whoever seeks the upper part will get it.

Xu Meng also has two great aids: past life memories and the Game No Life development system. Either of them is something that others dare not even think about.

So why not set the wildest goal at the beginning?
None of your employees believe it?

Then lead them to make the game and make them believe in it!

……

Thinking about these things, Xu Meng went to the bathroom to wash her face, intending to sober up before going back home with the assistant.

But just as he was washing his face, the cell phone on the bedside table suddenly rang.

The assistant took a look and saw it was Song Zhicheng.

"Boss! It's Director Song's call!"

"Help me answer it first." Xu Meng said while wiping his face.

The assistant then picked up the phone and turned on the speaker.

"Boss, the contact person at Pili Pili called me just now."

"?" Xu Mengren had just woken up, his mind was still a little dull, his first reaction was -

"What do you mean? Pornhub is also planning to remove our game?"

If this is true, then Xu Meng would indeed have a headache.

As the home of domestic ACG users, P Station is indeed different from other channels...

Fortunately, Song Zhicheng immediately denied it:
"No, no, no, quite the opposite!"

“They came to apologize to us.”

"what?"

This sentence made Xu Meng confused.

Has P Station offended us?
　Please vote for me, please read my book, please recommend me!
