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

Meanwhile, Yang Yi is still buying a house and going on vacation with her secretary.

The media outlets that discovered Beehive Games had changed its name to Beehive Technology are going crazy. What a top-tier hype generator! One minute they were reported to be participating in Gamescom, and the next minute observant players noticed the company had changed its name, causing related topics to spiral upwards.

Do not check, I don’t know, I’m scared.

In just six months, how did the bee colony quietly accomplish so much?

Most importantly, while doing something big, they also casually released a game that sold a staggering 720 million copies in a single week.

Countless media outlets flocked to the area downstairs at Beehive Company, but they couldn't get an interview with the person in question, and they were almost in tears.

Who goes on vacation before Gamescom?! That's so relaxing!

On a beach chair in Shuangyue Bay, Yang Yi hung up the phone at the company's front desk. After being so busy for so long, couldn't she at least enjoy herself?

Do you think you can get him back based on just a few media interviews? Don't even think about it!

Before long, Shen Xiao walked over slowly, carrying two glasses of chilled watermelon juice.

As Yang Yi gazed at her graceful figure, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart—a vacation is wonderful, this is such a wonderful time!

If you don't come out and relax, how can you see such a beautiful scene?

This size... If I were to become boyfriend and girlfriend with Shen Xiao, and we ever had a fight, burying myself in it would really make all my anger disappear.

No, even if there's no arguing, it should still be buried.

That's not right either. If you're arguing, you should bury your head in your hands. If you're not allowed to bury your head in your hands, you'll start arguing!

If I'm this relaxed, I wonder if my competitors are still working day and night to figure out how to deal with me.

Inside XunTeng J1 Studio, a bustling scene unfolds – the sound of keyboards clicking fills the air, game development interfaces and lines of code flash across screens, and developers are all engrossed in their workstations, focused on advancing their projects.

Li Xiaoguang pushed open the door and walked in. His gaze slowly swept across the office area. Seeing that the team was in good order, he nodded in satisfaction.

Ji Feng, the head of the studio, quickly noticed that Li Xiaoguang had come to inspect the place. He immediately put down his work and hurried to greet him.

After a brief greeting, the two walked into Ji Feng's office together. Ji Feng casually closed the door and was about to invite the other man to sit down when Li Xiaoguang cut to the chase.

"How is the development of Tactical Squad progressing?"

His tone turned slightly somber, and he quickly added, "The Swarm is on the exhibitor list for Gamescom this year. Could you perhaps finish a playable demo and promotional video for our game before Gamescom?"

Li Xiaoguang leaned against his desk, his fingertips lightly tapping the surface, his face full of confident determination, and his tone brimming with self-assurance.

"Our game has such outstanding gameplay, and both the level design and the graphics quality are top-notch in the industry. This time, I plan to go straight for the swarm."

He was full of confidence in his game, but Ji Feng, the game's lead creator, frowned slightly, his face full of hesitation.

"Mr. Li, both of Hive's games have become wildly popular worldwide, and they're riding high right now. Wouldn't it be a bit unwise for us to go head-to-head with them?"

Li Xiaoguang patted Ji Feng on the shoulder and encouraged him with a determined expression: "Don't boost others' morale while diminishing your own."

"There's no such thing as a third time. Phenomenal games aren't made so easily. Yang Yi isn't some kind of god. He was just an unknown nobody before. I don't believe he can make three hit games in a row."

With that said, it seems the leader's decision is set in stone and brooks no argument.

Even though Ji Feng still had many concerns, he could only suppress all his entanglements and anxieties.

No matter how difficult or dangerous the task, Ji Feng, as the game's main creator, could not shirk his responsibility.

It seems that the days ahead will be filled with endless, unpaid overtime.

Coincidentally, on the other side, the atmosphere was tense at Radiant Studio, a subsidiary of Pig Farm.

Ding Sanshi sat behind his desk, his gaze sweeping over the group of developers in front of him. His tone was somewhat nonchalant, yet it exuded an undeniable authority.

"I think our current project, 'Operation Terrorist Hunt,' might just be able to go head-to-head with The Hive's new game."

He paused, tapping his fingertips lightly on the table, and continued:

"This month, you guys should put more effort into coming up with some eye-catching new gameplay and features. As for the pace... we can totally promote it first and then develop it."

The main creators present exchanged glances, all somewhat hesitant, but none dared to interrupt.

Ding Sanshi seemed to have already seen through their thoughts, and casually waved his hand:

"Don't worry, as long as we rush to get all these things made and included before the game's official release, there's plenty of time."

The problem isn't time; it's creativity!

A new gameplay mode designed in just one month to fight Yang Yi? Really?

If they really had the ability to create ideas out of thin air and develop high-quality gameplay in a short time, they would have already jumped ship to XunTeng for high salaries, instead of staying here.

Do you really think everyone can be like Brother San, wrapping themselves in insulating tape and daring to twist electrical wires with their bare hands?

This isn't a fair competition; it's practically handing yourself over to your death! You're doomed!

At the end of July, Yang Yi, who had been on vacation for a week, finally returned to the company with his mistress.

"How did the final test of the game go?"

"I need to keep a close eye on the finishing touches on the CG for the exhibition and all the game merchandise. Also, I need to pack my favorite snacks to take to Cologne for the players to try. Don't forget the drinks either; I'm really fed up with the six-euro Coca-Cola cans at the exhibition hall."

These instructions had already been reviewed by Xia He during his vacation. As a professional assistant who had previously worked at Xun Teng, she had naturally checked everything in order. When answering, she was clear, composed, and showed no sign of panic.

"All four games have completed full final testing, and there are currently no residual bugs in the background, and they are running stably."

"The first cinematic for Overwatch has been completed and finalized. Several project managers in the company gave it very high praise after reviewing the sample footage."

"Various game peripherals and exhibition gifts have been packed in batches and shipped to Cologne, Germany. The custom mousepad with the female character's buttocks theme that you specifically requested has completed its final quality inspection today and will also be shipped to Germany at the same time."

She paused slightly before relaying the compliance reminder from the person in charge at the front:

"However, Victor, the general manager stationed in Germany, reported that Gamescom has strict exhibition regulations and cannot directly distribute unapproved snacks and drinks to ordinary visitors in public booth areas. They can only be provided in limited quantities in the backstage media reception area and the exclusive area for core gamers."

"Therefore, the snacks you sent over this time cannot be distributed to the tourists."

"However, he has already complied with the exhibition's compliance requirements by purchasing individually packaged chocolates, hard candies, and small bottles of drinking water in advance for visitors and players to consume."

"In addition, he also contacted and invited a group of professional cosplayers from Europe and America in advance to supplement and improve the cosplayer lineup of this exhibition, in conjunction with the booth interaction and promotion."

"Ugh!!!" Upon hearing this, Yang Yi was so angry that she slammed her rice bowl down on the table (not really).

Tourist, please forgive me!

Gamescom was despicable for its food monopoly; I tried my best!!!

"By the way, are the Western cosplayers Victor found good-looking?"

It's not that Yang Yi is lecherous; he simply doesn't want to ruin the female characters in the game!

"Judging from the pictures sent back by General Manager Victor, she has a great figure, and you could even say that she fits the body type of a female character in a game very well."

"However, this is just my personal opinion. Do you need to review it yourself?"

Yang Yi touched his nose, hesitated for a moment but still couldn't resist the temptation—"Okay."
