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

At the same time.

Star City, Chaoxi Game Studio.

The development of "Love Requires Talking to People" is still ongoing, but this morning, almost everyone had their live stream on the bottom right corner of their computer screen.

After all, President Jiang took Shen Zhaozhao to participate in the National Mini-Game Competition.

Who wouldn't watch something like this?

Especially Ma Shangfei.

He projected the live stream onto the secondary screen.

The code is on the left, and the competition venue is on the right.

At first glance, it looks like they are working seriously.

In reality, the code on the left hasn't been touched for ten minutes.

Ma Shangfei held an iced tea bottle in his hand, his lips pressed against the rim, maintaining a very stiff posture.

Looking at the densely packed participating teams on the live stream, it would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous.

There are too many people, really too many people!

The programmers sat in a row, wearing the simplest plaid shirts and carrying matching backpacks, but their shiny hair revealed their formidable technical prowess!

In the world of programmers, the degree of hair thinning is a direct reflection of combat power. Those guys from big companies are obviously capable of going in and out of the code world seven times over.

Then look at your own boss.

He was unassuming, with thick hair and a handsome face. Next to him sat Shen Zhaozhao, who was lost in thought.

Isn't this player a bit too calm?

Can President Jiang really handle this?

He certainly believed in President Jiang's idea.

Several hit works in a row are enough to prove that President Jiang is indeed a man of substance.

The problem is... this competition isn't just about creativity, it's also about implementation!

You have to make something fun to play with within a week!

How good is Mr. Jiang's coding skills?

Ma Shangfei had his doubts about this issue.

When he learned that Jiang Bo was planning to participate in the competition, he immediately knocked on Jiang Bo's office door.

"President Jiang, how about... I go too?"

"You see, when developing something like this on-site, you still need at least one programmer."

"I wouldn't dare say I'm incredibly strong, but at least I can step in when help is needed!"

Jiang Bo merely glanced up at him at that moment.

Then he said something that Ma Shangfei still can't refute to this day.

"I'm handing over the family's code to you."

"You still don't believe in my abilities?"

Ma Shangfei fell silent on the spot.

The ancestral code, that fish behavior logic model!

Without a doubt, that code was the best and most neatly written code Ma Shangfei had ever encountered.

How could someone who can produce ancestral code not know how to code?

Thinking of this, Ma Shangfei could only feel awe and chose to believe without reservation!

He even felt that asking President Jiang if he should come was somewhat offensive.

So he stayed and chose to continue working on the "Love Requires Talking to People" project.

but! !! !!

At this moment, upon seeing the two blind box entries obtained from Chaoxi Games on the live stream screen...

Ma Shangfei's anxiety resurfaced.

[The Heavens]?!

【customer service】?!

Ordinary viewers and judges might only find these two terms funny and abstract, creating a sense of contrast.

But Ma Shangfei is different!

He's not just a programmer, he's a total bookworm!

"It's over...it's all over, it's all over..."

"What does 'multiverse' mean? It means you have to cram countless completely different worldviews into the same game!"

"If it's a martial arts world, you need to design light-footed movement techniques; if it's a science fiction world, you need to design mechs!"

This is what's known as the "infinite flow" genre in online novels!

Countless worlds, countless missions.

Across countless realms, traversing dungeons, exploring the God Realm, issuing quests, incurring death penalties, and redeeming rewards…

There's just too much to show!

Ma Shangfei felt like he was about to have difficulty breathing.

But what's even more terrifying is yet to come.

customer service?

These two words don't really go together!

This is practically like trying to cram Liu Bei into Hogwarts; how could he possibly adapt?

If... Chaoxi Games is fielding its entire team this time, Ma Shangfei isn't entirely without confidence.

With so many people involved in Chaoxi Games, if everyone puts in the effort, we might just be able to create something small yet exquisite.

But now?

Of all the developers from Chaoxi Games, only CEO Jiang is currently on-site!

one person!

168 hours!

We want to create a customer service game with an infinite multiverse!

"What do we do? What are we going to do?!"

The more Ma Shangfei thought about it, the more anxious he became.

There's no way around it; he's the oldest person in the entire company right now, and he's also the most caring.

If only I hadn't begged President Jiang to take me along, now look what's happened.

Even if President Jiang has the support of his family's inherited code, he's likely to crash and burn this time!

……

The scene returns to the competition venue.

As the giant countdown clock in the center of the stadium beeped a long time.

The closed-loop development phase has officially begun!

All participating teams have been assigned to their respective development zones.

Rows of long tables were neatly arranged, and computers, monitors, whiteboards, timers, basic resource libraries, and temporary network environments were all ready.

The atmosphere instantly shifted from the lively interview to something resembling a large-scale exam.

Those in meetings are in meetings, and those wearing headphones are wearing headphones.

Everyone was eager to get started and sprang into action.

However, in this bustling arena, there is a corner with an extremely bizarre atmosphere.

Area C.

The dedicated workstation for Chaoxi Games.

Jiang Bo and Shen Zhaozhao sat in the same row, each with a computer in front of them.

Jiang Bo remained calm.

Since the start of the competition, the expectation panel in his mind has been jumping faster and faster!

This is exactly the effect he wanted; the game hasn't even been made yet, but the anticipation is already high.

That's the benefit of big competitions!

Shen Zhaozhao's expression was solemn.

At this moment, only one sentence was on Shen Zhaozhao's mind.

Who am I? Where am I? What should I do now?

She looked at the computer.

He glanced at Jiang Bo, then at the other teams around him.

Why is everyone so busy?

Meanwhile, on her side...

After sitting down, President Jiang first flexed his fingers.

Then, open the development tools.

Then... crackling sounds!

The sound of the keyboard immediately started.

Shen Zhaozhao was stunned on the spot.

So fast?

Why don't we discuss it? Why don't we brainstorm?

Shouldn't we provide a more in-depth analysis of the term?

Other teams will need at least ten minutes to discuss what we should actually do.

Why does it seem like President Jiang already knew the answers? Did you pull some strings? You're playing it on fast forward!

Shen Zhaozhao peeked at Jiang Bo's screen.

Then she was even more confused.

Code, densely packed code.

Although she couldn't understand it at all, she could tell that the boss wasn't just putting on an act.

He was really writing, and he typed very fast!

Shen Zhaozhao swallowed hard, looked down at her empty hands, and fell into deep anxiety.

I'm starting to feel anxious again... What should I do? Where should I even begin?

Everyone else is busy as bees, but I, an operations manager, am sitting here and feel like a street urchin who's just here to mooch off Wi-Fi!

Shen Zhaozhao felt extremely uneasy. "President Jiang, how can I help you?"

Should I get him a glass of water? But the game has just started, and the glass is still full.

Go get a boxed lunch?

She checked the time on her phone.

10:30 a.m.

The competition has only just begun.

Despair, utter despair!

It's not even lunchtime yet!

She couldn't even carry out the only pre-shift preparation work where she could shine and contribute, which was taking charge of lunch!

She simply couldn't stand this suffocating feeling of being idle.

Shen Zhaozhao took a deep breath and cautiously moved closer to Jiang Bo.

"Um... Mr. Jiang?"

"What can I do now?"

Jiang Bo stared at the screen without looking up.

"You should rest first."

Shen Zhaozhao was taken aback.

"what?"

Jiang Bo continued coding.

"Do you know what 'nourishing essence and conserving marrow' means? It's not your turn yet."

Shen Zhaozhao: "..."

Here we go again, turn-based, huh?

She tried to keep smiling, but she was still a little unwilling.

"But I can't just do nothing, can I?"

"Give me some tasks, even just let me help you check for typos!"

Jiang Bo thought for a moment.

"Zhaozhao, don't overthink it. Anxiety is a physiological reaction of the weak to a situation they can't control!"

"what?"

"But I really don't know how I can help!" Shen Zhaozhao was almost in tears.

"This is a game development competition! I'm an operations person, what am I doing here? Just a mere bystander!"

"Who said you were just a decoration?"

"In a perfect team fight, when the ADC is dealing massive damage, what should the support do? Maintain their own level and be ready to respond to any unexpected situations!"

Jiang Bo corrected her in a serious tone.

He reached out and pushed a tablet computer next to his computer in front of Shen Zhaozhao.

"Now, open the video channel on the DeepBlue platform."

Jiang Bo issued his first official instruction in this competition.

Shen Zhaozhao was taken aback, but subconsciously did as she was told and opened the video area.

"And then...?"

"And then, you..."

"Just pick any current news story, plug in your headphones, and take your time reading it."

"Remember to analyze the situation in Iran with me later, okay..."

"ah?!"
