You said you were going to make games, how did you become the richest man without doing anything?

Chapter 96: Where is the Husband? (Please Subscribe)
Yes, not only should we combine work and rest, but we can even do it once and for all.

Smart programmers should not reinvent the wheel. Mr. Lu is reminding us to encapsulate the reused client functions into interfaces.

Wait! If we have a lot of self-packaged interface tools and kits, sooner or later we can completely break away from the constraints of Youyi Workshop and develop our own in-house game engine!
The more He Chuming thought about it, the more excited he became. He decided to discuss this matter with Brother Xiong later.

As he watched himself gradually become enlightened, he felt a sense of emotion.

I didn't expect that President Lu would care so much about us dull and backward employees.

……

On Tuesday, the members of the Island Owner Life Group gathered together for a meeting to discuss the latest production progress of Land Feather Demon.

Because everyone already had a preliminary design draft in mind, Vice President Liu Mengyuan and two directors were also invited to the meeting.

Lü Rui summarized the team's design proposals and displayed the BOSS's four main skills on the big screen:
Skill 1: "I seek the pearl of life."

The Land Feather Demon summoned a bunch of earth orbs in the venue, each orb had a different color and pattern.

Every time a skill is cast, a correct answer will appear in front of the Land Feather Demon. Players need to quickly find the correct gem among the gems on the ground and explode it, otherwise the Land Feather Demon's ultimate move will be triggered and the player will suffer huge damage.

This skill requires players to keep their eyes open and tests their judgment and observation.

Skill 2: "Livelihood is one aspect of career; career is one aspect of livelihood."

After the skill is activated, the "Demon's Library" containing tens of thousands of books will appear behind the Land Feather Demon.

The books in the library are all ancient classics related to enjoying life: there are pictorials of ancient beauties, ancient food pictorials, pictorials of various landscapes in the game world, pictorials of classical clothing, and so on.

Land Feather Demon waved his hand, the library opened, and thousands of books came out.

Ancient books will smash into the ground, forming a swirling storm that covers a certain area. Players must quickly avoid these falling books, otherwise they will enter a "bewitched" state and be unable to move independently.

Skill 3: "Imperfection is also the true meaning of life"

Land Feather Demon summoned a huge and ancient gashapon machine in the venue, which would release a large number of gashapon machines at regular intervals.

Each player needs to open a capsule toy, which will randomly release effects. Some effects are combat buffs or rare game items, while some are debuffs or health penalties.

Skill 4: "All things in the universe obey my orders. Only by balancing labor and rest can we achieve victory."

The Land Feather Demon will summon a clock-shaped space-time vortex at a random location within the venue, sucking players in. Players need to follow the prompts within the vortex and complete designated rest actions, such as sleeping, sitting quietly, eating, stretching, etc.

Only by completing the rest before the vortex disappears can you survive safely. Otherwise, you will be bound by the time vortex and will not be free until the next time the Land Feather Demon releases the same skill.

……

The more they designed, the more excited they became, and the self-confidence that had gradually disappeared came back.

After everyone's design plan was made public, the team members communicated with each other and unexpectedly discovered that they all got inspiration from Lu Yu's suggestions inadvertently.

Lu Rui said, "It seems that President Lu has always kept our team in mind and has hinted to us throughout the process."

He Chuming also sighed: "Boss Lu is worthy of being the leader and pioneer of the company. He has planned every step perfectly. It's really awesome.

Wu Siling also echoed, "Boss Lu's chicken soup jokes about life are simply an inexhaustible guide to development. He not only cares about our lives but also teaches us step by step. You won't find such a boss even if you search with a lantern!"

The others also nodded, their hearts filled with excitement!

Besides being moved, everyone felt like their blood was pumped up. No matter what, they had to design the battle against Lu Di Yu Mo to a higher level this time and not let Mr. Lu down for his good intentions.

Lü Rui and eight other employees are grateful for your suggestions, and their joy and support are shared. Leisure Points +8.

At this time, Lu Yu was drinking a cocktail at the bar on the third floor. He smiled slightly when he saw the system light screen prompt.

"Very good, you finally realized my original intention. Boss design and all that is fine. Just continue to focus on having fun and being a pure fun person, hehehe."

……

In the conference room, He Chuming said to Chu Xiong:
"Brother Xiong, I want to combine the many functional components we have developed during our life as an island owner so that they can be easily used in the future."

Chu Xiong nodded and said, "That's a good sentiment. Actually, when I was developing Mouth Cannon Life, I found that the crappy Youyi Workshop engine hadn't been updated for a long time. I wanted to render some rougher stockings, but it took a lot of effort. I even had to build the rendering pipeline myself."

He Chuming probed, "Why don't we start developing our own game engine?"

"Indeed, with our own engine, we won't be constrained by Youyi Workshop, but it probably won't be done in a short while. So, I'll call Zhang Fan from the Mouth Cannon team, and we'll explore while developing the game. We'll try to build an engine framework within two months." Zhang Qiqi looked at Zhou Lei, the copywriter and planner from the Island Owner team. "What kind of music do you want for atmosphere?"

Zhou Lei pondered for a moment and said tentatively, "After all, the Land Feather Demon is a demigod-level BOSS and the ruler of the central island of the region, so I want its battle background music to have a strong sense of oppression."

"understood."

Zhang Qiqi nodded, "I will use the most aggressive power."

As soon as she finished speaking, the expressions of the people in the room suddenly changed drastically and they waved their hands frantically.

My goodness, the number of registered players of Island Owner Life has exceeded 100 million. If Kiki is allowed to add the funeral song of torture, I am afraid that a large-scale massacre will occur.

Liu Mengyuan quickly said, "Hey, Qiqi, there's no need to make the background music too aggressive. Just put in some normal background music."

"Why?" Zhang Qiqi tilted her head. Didn't you say you wanted a sense of oppression?

Liu Mengyuan continued to coax him, "Because... Land Feather Demon isn't the final boss of the game. Look, there's still a bunch of monster background music for you to unleash on the World Central Island. If you unleash your full power now, then the players later on won't have anything to look forward to."

"Well, okay." Zhang Qiqi looked regretful.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had just walked away from the brink of the end of the world.

"Boss Liu, I'd like to discuss with you the image of the Land Feather Demon."

Monster artist Tang Yan took out her tablet, displayed the draft of the Land Feather Demon she had just designed, and explained:

"The body and soul of the Land Feather Demon are incomplete, so it is half god and half beast.

It has two forms: flying and ground. When flying, its feathers will fall off, and when players enter the battle, they will find that one of its wings is missing..."

Liu Mengyuan nodded as he looked at it. Tang Yan did not copy the previous version of the design draft, but added some of her own thoughts and designs into it, which was very good.

"I have no objection. It's well done. Let's follow this version."

Tang Yan didn't expect it to be so smooth, and was stunned:

"I was worried at first, Mr. Liu, would you have any objections?"

"Why would I object?" Liu Mengyuan was confused.

"Because the Land Feather Demon you designed was very cool and handsome when it first appeared, but its battle form turned out to be a winged demon god, which is not so cool anymore. President Liu, you must hope that your husband's avatar will always be handsome in the game..."

"But I think it's pretty cool this way, and paired with the skills, it makes him look even more like him."

Liu Mengyuan answered subconsciously, and found that everyone was looking at him. He immediately reacted and blushed to his ears.

"No, no, no, no, no, what husband or no husband? The Land Feather Demon is just a random drawing I made on Dongming Island. It's not based on anyone in the real world. Don't get me wrong."

"It's okay, it's okay. We understand, we understand."

Everyone had an expression of seeing through everything, with a smile on their face.

……

After the development meeting, the BOSS design problem that had troubled the Island Owner Life Project Team for many days was finally completely solved, and everyone returned to the fast lane of development.

Liu Mengyuan happily flipped through the system screen:

[Employee Lu Rui's "Level Design" skill has been upgraded to Level 3]

[Employee He Chuming's "Client Development" skill has been upgraded to Level 3]

[Employee Tang Yan's "Monster Design" skill has been upgraded to Level 2]

[Employee Zhou Lei's "Story Design" skill has been upgraded to Level 2]

Very good, everything is going in the right direction.

Liu Mengyuan then opened the proficiency points statistics interface.
