The game is only half finished, and the entire internet is begging for an update!

Ma Shangfei's smile gradually froze.

Zhao Zhibai slowly turned his head as well.

The entire office fell silent.

What?

It's a family heirloom?

Jiang Bo ignored their expressions and continued talking to himself.

"This system should be able to solve many of the problems you just mentioned."

"Virtual motion mapping, environmental interaction, and some device adaptation logic can all be used directly."

"Take this and study it. Try to make the virtual version of 'World's End: Dust' as soon as possible."

"Furthermore, our game doesn't actually utilize virtual elements very much, because ultimately, it's not an immersive racing game; it's a management and development game..."

"..."

Jiang Bo's words rang out from the side, but Old Ma stood there, completely numb.

At this moment, he had no doubt whatsoever about the relationship between his boss's family and the Trisolarans!

It's highly likely that President Jiang's ancestors were the forward outposts of the Trisolaran invasion of Earth; they've already unlocked the entire technology tree!

"Mr. Jiang... Mr. Jiang..."

Old Ma's voice trembled, his eyes twitched violently, and he felt his materialistic worldview collapsing.

"What did you just say this thing was?"

"It's a family heirloom."

Faced with Lao Ma's breakdown, Jiang Bo simply smiled slightly.

"What's wrong?"

"Another family heirloom?!"

Old Ma was starting to lose his composure. "You old man, are you some kind of reclusive geek?"

According to this theory, the first person in President Jiang's family tree could very well be an Alpha alien!

"Alright, there's nothing to worry about regarding ancestral heritage; it's all part of our foundation!"

Heritage?

What family could have such a strong foundation?

Zhao Zhibai stood behind, not saying a word. "Go ahead and go into President Jiang's office. Every time you go in, you'll gain something!"

As the boss of Chaoxi, if President Jiang didn't possess some special qualities that would make Newton and Turing turn their coffins upside down, how could he have led us to become so big and strong? Boss, boss! He must have some special qualities. If he were to open his eyes a little, he could understand.

But now... we have the technology, we have the direction, and the framework of World's End: Dust is almost complete.

Since we've already come this far...

Jiang Bo emphasized it again.

"Starting today, Chaoxi Games is officially establishing a virtual game department. Initially, we will draw people from the existing team, transferring some from technology, gameplay, and art. Once the framework is stable, we will recruit more people to expand the department."

Upon hearing this, the people in the office immediately exchanged glances.

Ma Shangfei is in good spirits again.

"Is it really going to be a separate department?"

"Absolutely."

Jiang Bo glanced at him. "Since we've decided to go in this direction, we can't just temporarily pull a few people from the programming team every time we make a virtual game."

Sheng Tinglan had already instinctively turned on her tablet and started taking notes.

"Then I need to prepare a recruitment plan in advance. I need to recruit virtual interaction programmers, motion designers, device adapters, and testers separately."

As she said this, she looked up at Jiang Bo again.

"President Jiang, where is the department head?"

"Then let's go with Old Ma!"

Since you've already asked this question...

"Old Ma will also serve as the Chief Technology Officer, overseeing the entire restructuring of the underlying architecture!"

"I?"

Ma Shangfei was stunned for a full two seconds.

He really didn't expect it.

I started out as a programmer in the company, and after working with Jiang Bo on so many projects, I'm now in charge of a new department all by myself.

Moreover, this is the first time that Chaoxi has truly stepped into the field of virtual games.

Old Ma instinctively straightened his back. This was the person in charge! Following General Manager Jiang's usual practice, that meant a significant salary increase!

comfortable!

"President Jiang, don't worry."

"I'll definitely make this virtual game a success!"

Jiang Bo nodded.

"If you need more people, just tell Xiaolan; if you need more equipment, just buy it."

"Now that the department has been established, let's not make it an empty shell."

Old Ma got even more excited after hearing this.

If I still can't do this, I'll have no face to meet the ancestors of the Jiang family.

"OK!"

"Alright, now that the direction is set, and this game is our pioneering work in the virtual gaming arena, we absolutely have to promote it aggressively!"

Jiang Bo looked at everyone.

"Everyone, don't hold back! Do you have any good marketing suggestions for our first virtual game?"

As soon as the boss spoke, the imaginations in the meeting room couldn't be contained any longer.

"President Jiang, I think we could do a cross-industry collaboration! Partner with McDonald's, and give away a custom-designed racing car from the game when you buy a meal deal!"

"The idea is good, but this will drive up the marketing and promotion costs!"

"How about we sponsor offline rally races? Focus on a hardcore, contrasting approach!"

"The direction is right, but the cost is still an issue, and are there any suitable rally races available in the short term?"

"How about we collaborate with car manufacturers?"

"Get a few themed cars with special paint jobs, and then set them up in a few shopping malls. Players will see them as they pass by, and the visual effect should be pretty good."

"..."

The more the group talked, the more their conversation veered off-topic.

Jiang Bo was also slowly thinking about it in his heart.

Actually, all the solutions that everyone just mentioned can be used.

But after listening to it again and again, it still felt a bit too conventional.

"President Jiang, I have some different suggestions."

Just then, Shen Zhaozhao, who had been sitting silently taking notes, spoke up.

Everyone has said so much, but as someone who has always been on the front lines of operations, she has some different opinions.

"President Jiang, traditional collaborations and sponsorships have too low a conversion rate and do not conform to the consistent style of Chaoxi Games."

"I believe that for a company like ours that focuses on gameplay and experience, game promotion should ideally focus on the game itself!"

Jiang Bo immediately became interested.

"How should we land?"

"For example, we could organize a: Player Ghost Challenge!"

"The Ghost Challenge?" Jiang Bo raised an eyebrow. "Tell me more."

"It's very simple!"

"We certainly won't have a full virtual version ready anytime soon, but creating a simple, small demo shouldn't take too long, right?"

Ma Shangfei thought about it.

"If it's just a track, a car, and you're only doing basic driving and timing, it's very fast."

"That's enough."

Shen Zhaozhao continued, "We're just making this trial version; we won't include a storyline, a racing team, or the official content."

"Once players enter, their only task is to run in circles."

Zhao Zhibai frowned.

"Wouldn't just running laps not be enough to make it appealing?"

"So someone has to chase after them."

As Shen Zhaozhao finished speaking, her gaze slowly fell on Jiang Bo's face.

"In this mini-game demo, we'll be introducing the classic ghost car system from racing games!"

"And this ghost, challenged by players across the internet, will be played by you, Mr. Jiang!"

"You record a best time on the track beforehand, and it becomes an uncollisionable, semi-transparent ghost car. Then, we release a normal challenge announcement..."

Shen Zhaozhao took a deep breath, her tone highly persuasive:

"During the demo's release, all players who manage to overtake Mr. Jiang's ghost car on the track, regardless of how much faster, will automatically receive a free copy of 'World's End: Dust of Despair' upon its official release!"
