From gaming to becoming the richest man, it all started with his counterattack against XunTeng.

Yang Yi arrived at the company at 10 a.m.

The company was in a mess, with a depressing atmosphere. The seven remaining employees in the small company, which was only about 100 square meters, sat at their workstations with worried faces. They wanted to do something but didn't know where to start. With their leader gone, what could they possibly do?

Because of the original owner's passion for games, the company's system was not strict, and it could be said to be more humane than 90% of the companies on the market.

Even if such a company is about to go bankrupt, its employees will still talk about how good the company is.

Yang Yi looked at the remaining employees: art director, technical artists, special effects artists, operations planners, HR, finance, and a front-end developer. The staff was fairly evenly distributed, and there was potential for a turnaround.

Yang Yi was quite surprised that the lead artist, Shen Xiao, didn't leave. After all, it would be difficult for her small, nearly bankrupt company to retain such a talented person, let alone a top-tier beauty like her.

Having been with the company for less than five months, she has no need to be bound to it through thick and thin.

Yang Yi shook her head, trying to gather her scattered thoughts. Why think so much? What if the other person likes her company? She should think about how to get through this difficult time first.

As a newcomer to the game industry, there are too many low-cost masterpieces to choose from, but before developing, I still need to look at the popular games online, just in case there is a conflict?

As Lu Xun once said, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle."

Even if you have countless powerful weapons at your disposal, you still need to conduct thorough market research.

Yang Yi returned to her assigned workstation and began playing mainstream games on the market.

The first game was the most popular MMORPG on the market, "King of Legends." Yang Yi showed him great respect and played it for a full hour.

How to describe it?

An hour was wasted.

At level 1, you're using a [broken wooden stick] to fight [crayfish].

At level 20, I used the [Refined Staff] to fight the [Mutant Crawfish].

At level 40, I was using the [Demon-Slaying Six-Harmony Staff] to fight the [Thunderbolt Lobster].

At level 80, I was using a [+12 Spirit-Crushing Heaven-Shattering Prajna Staff] to fight the [True Overlord Sunset Lobster].

People can actually laugh when they're speechless.

In order to reach level 80 and experience the full game, Yang Yi even made a first-time recharge!

This game has an 83% positive review rate and generates 1.3 billion RMB in revenue per month!

I'm afraid they're washing something!

Stop making your brother Yang laugh, can't we refund minors?!

Unable to find the refund button, Yang Yi slumped into her office chair, feeling a bit frustrated; half a portion of braised pork trotter rice was gone.

Forget it, let's switch to another game and take a look at XunTeng's plagiarized game, "Crossfire".

After a while, Yang Yi released the mouse and stared blankly at the game interface. What does it mean to unlock the grenade bar with the first recharge? What does it mean to unlock the bulletproof vest with a monthly card? Is this a game for humans?

Isn't the advertising all about fair competition? This is just blatant selling of stats!

It's even more of a money pit than the early days of CrossFire. The only things worth praising are the graphics and the blatant 16vs16 rip-off!

Was its predecessor forced to its death by this thing?

No prospects!

However, Dungeon Fighter Online, which is distributed by XunTeng, is quite fun, even more so than the original DNF. It just goes to show that games in this world still have their merits.

Just to be on the safe side, Yang Yi also tried out several single-player games on the Steam gaming platform that were marked "highly rated," and became more and more unrestrained in his jokes.

There are good games, but not many, and the logic behind attracting players is normal.

In this gaming market, Yang Yi doesn't even know how he can lose.

It's a pure, unadulterated blue ocean!

------

When the employees arrived at work in the afternoon, they saw Yang Yi, who had first appeared dejected and then burst into laughter. They wanted to offer some words of comfort, but when the words reached their lips, they didn't know what to say.

After whispering among themselves, Shen Xiao finally approached Yang Yi and spoke in a soft voice to comfort him: "Brother Yang, last night I discovered that Xun Teng's 'Crossing the Line of Fire' secretly used a lot of our art assets. They were even too lazy to modify them, and there's even our company logo hidden in it. Should we sue them?"

Looking at Shen Xiao's sincere eyes and the six silent people at their workstations, Yang Yi knew in her heart that even if there was evidence in everyone's minds, it would be difficult for the company to win. They were the undisputed champions! They had never lost a battle in the past.

The reason they were willing to give it their all one last time was just to comfort themselves; when it came to actually fighting, they had no confidence whatsoever.

However, Yang Yi has the confidence that they lack!

Others might not know how to deal with Xun Teng, but Yang Yi did; he had the correct answer in his past life.

The emergence of Unreal Engine gave Yang Yi a huge boost.

Yang Yi stood up and walked to Shen Xiao's side, patted her on the shoulder, and said something shocking: "Brothers, to be honest, our 'Gunfire Monologue' is dead. Even if we have conclusive evidence, Xun Teng can drag it out for years. Even if I can wait, the Beehive can't."

Seeing the dejected and numb crowd, Yang Yi changed the subject, "But I have a brilliant idea that can make a quick buck and disgust XunTeng. What do you all think?"

Seeing the silent crowd, Yang Yi didn't keep them in suspense.

"Let's make a mobile game based on Dungeon Fighter Online."

Yang Yi's words were quite a bombshell for everyone. After a long silence, Shen Xiao tentatively spoke first: "Brother Yang, you got the mobile game rights for Dungeon Fighter Online? Will Tencent let this go?"

Amidst the puzzled looks of the crowd, Yang Yi smiled mysteriously: "There's no copyright involved. We just want to use XunTeng's methods to make them reap what they sow."

"Hasn't XunTeng been subtly hinting to players that they're making a dungeon mobile game?"

"However, the emergence of mobile games will inevitably divert traffic from PC games. Players are eager to play Dungeon Fighter Online on mobile, but Tencent is reluctant to give up PC game traffic, so it can only neither admit nor refuse, keeping players hanging on from a distance."

"What we need to do is switch the game with a fake one, directly promote ourselves as the genuine mobile game, and quickly harvest the users accumulated by Tencent."

Everyone was stunned after hearing this: "You can do it like that?"

Shen Xiao: "Brother Yang, aren't you afraid of XunTeng's legal department? Isn't this a sure-fire infringement that we're going to lose?"

"We're bound to lose, but don't forget, XunTeng also copied our game."

"The size difference between us and XunTeng is too great, which means that our revenue is far less than XunTeng's. The amount of compensation paid by the two parties is also different. As long as the court rules against us, we will sue XunTeng on the spot and use the money earned from Dungeon Mobile to hire the best legal department. No matter what the outcome is, we will not lose money."

"Tencent has to choose between Dungeon Fighter Online and Crossfire Mobile."

"At that time, XunTeng will be stuck in two directions instead of being single-minded, and we can even stand on the moral high ground to condemn XunTeng."

Who can keep this up?!

While everyone is still struggling to keep up with XunTeng's combined attacks, the boss has already figured out how to counterattack.

This was the first time Shen Xiao had ever heard of such a fighting style in his life. Brother Yang was simply a genius!

This method may seem a bit outrageous, but upon closer inspection, it actually works.

Looking at the shocked crowd, Yang Yi shook his head regretfully. The employees were too honest. Who said you can't make money if you lose a lawsuit? You can just stall for time and change the issuing company. You can still make money even if you lose a lawsuit. If all else fails, you can sell the source code to make private servers. Making money is nothing to be ashamed of!

In Yang Yi's view, the game companies in this world are still too immature and not shameless enough. How can they deal with a company of this size without resorting to thuggish tactics?

Besides, the world has suffered under Xunteng for too long. Making Xunteng suffer is a skill in itself. Maybe I'm a brave person?

Looking at the enthusiastic crowd, Yang Yi silently gave the system a thumbs up. The system's ability to greatly enhance the persuasiveness of speeches is truly a wonderful thing!
