Chapter 1 I Want to Make a Game

Warning! Data corruption!

At that very moment, Chen Tiancai, astonished and enraged, clenched his fist in his pocket, and his thumb effortlessly slid the black gold ring onto the base of his index finger

Indeed

I never expected that this woman would directly demand to deduct one-tenth of her salary, a few hundred yuan may not be much, but it is still the fruit of her labor.

Dreams may sound naive, but Chen Tiancai understands that without the courage to take a step forward, today's abandonment and hesitation will transform into endless regrets in the future

After a long while, Liu Cheng set down the planning document in his hands, leaned back against the chair, and looked at Chen Tiancai with a smile.

Preparing to initiate emergency protocol, warning! If conditions are insufficient, self-destruct mode will be activated...

In its early years, Chaoyang Network did not pay attention to these issues, focusing solely on quick profits, with most of its products being imitations of others' popular items. In the past two years, the focus has unfortunately shifted to acquiring major intellectual properties to create reskinned mobile games. The lack of quality has made the operation of these projects difficult, and with expenses exceeding income, the company urgently needs to adjust its strategy

Expansion successful, reading preset data...

At the same time, General Zhao crossed his arms, raised an eyebrow at the Korean semi-permanent makeup, and with lips painted in deathly Barbie pink slightly parted, was about to say something

Boss! I... I..." As the moment approached, Chen Tiancai could not help but feel nervous, especially when he saw that shiny bald head in his line of sight

Upon returning to hetushu.com, Chen Tiancai dug out the proposal he had prepared for over six months from a pile of documents. Gritting his teeth, he stood up and walked to the office door of the chief planner, Liu Cheng, and then knocked on the door

Originally, Chen Tiancai intended to smooth things over and simply apologize to this troublesome Zhao for the sake of peace, after all, it is said that this woman has a significant background, and as a mere employee, there is no need to contend for any pride

Staying in the gaming industry, Chen Tiancai's dream is to create his own game

Although Liu Cheng's words were commendatory, a hint of bitterness still arose in Chen Tiancai's heart

Detected host IQ exceeds Mensa 120, initiating data extraction plan

After all, it must sound like a fantasy to anyone knowledgeable in the field that a writer with almost no understanding of coding wants to create a game

Where have you been during working hours! The company is at a critical juncture of survival, yet you remain so carefree! One-tenth of your salary for this month will be deducted!

To take a step back, which person of Chen Tiancai's generation was not raised in pampered conditions? Who is afraid of whom

These two characters seemed to possess a magical power, instantly jolting the drowsy Chen Tiancai awake. He glanced at the darkened sky outside and began to tidy up the documents on his desk

Specifically, those leaders with increasingly thinning hair are the main players. As for individuals like Chen Tiancai, who are merely text planners, they are just embellishments, playing the role of supporting characters.

Although Chaoyang Network attracted considerable investment during the industry's boom a few years ago, with the integration of the domestic gaming industry and the maturation of players, the quality of games has gradually become the most important criterion

Chen Tiancai hurriedly jogged to his workstation, but before he could steady himself, the harsh sound of reprimand had already pierced his ears

Extraction successful! Please activate the data!

In fact, he need not worry so much, as the intern's position is somewhat distant from the boss, and the smoky environment in the conference room provides him with an additional layer of protection

Chen Tiancai is twenty-three years old this year, a recent graduate who has just entered the workforce. He is currently an intern at Chaoyang Network, where his specific role involves text planning.

The speed at which human brain neurons transmit information is approximately one hundred meters per second, and Chen Tiancai quickly heard this information emerging in his mind.

Liu Cheng extended his index finger to tap the file bag, not in a hurry to open it, and said: "You really can hold back, can't you? Those who joined at the same time as you have already submitted their ideas to me long ago. This internship period is almost over, and I thought you hadn't come up with anything at all!"

"Not bad, aside from the invisible artistry, music, and programming aspects, your story is quite outstanding." Before Chen and Tushitian Cai could ask, Liu Cheng had already provided the answer

As Liu Cheng began to flip through his planning document, Chen Tiancai felt his heart racing faster and faster. His fingers, inserted into his pants pocket, started to unconsciously fiddle with a black gold ring inside, with his thumb continuously making his index finger go in and out of the ring's hole

Chen Tiancai does not think so; if it were not for his love of games, he could easily seek another job

Beep

Taking advantage of the tidying up, Chen Tiancai surveyed his colleagues around him, who were frowning, as well as the boss in the distance, whose expression was unreadable. After confirming that his earlier dazed behavior had gone unnoticed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief

Liu Cheng looked at the document bag in Chen Tiancai's hand and immediately understood what was going on. He touched the well-textured stubble on his head and made a joke to lighten the mood

This heavy burden naturally fell on the shoulders of Liu Cheng, the elder statesman, but how could a ship that has already collided with an iceberg easily change its course

Just say what you want to say! It's surprising that you have such a handsome face, yet you get nervous talking to an old man like me. How will you face those young ladies in the future?

General Zhao widened her eyes in surprise; she did not expect that this intern would dare to confront her. However, by this time, the commotion had escalated, and the surrounding gazes had gathered. She could no longer continue to exert her authority, so she directly snatched the game design document that Chen Tiancai had just placed on the table and began to read it, preparing to buy some time with the book.

It is also possible that this game company, which holds considerable strength in the industry, has grown indifferent to a mere intern at such a critical juncture of survival.

The soul frequency has been matched, and the main program is being initiated

In the gaming industry, technology is paramount

Chen Tiancai frowned slightly and looked at the woman, who was wearing high heels yet was still shorter than him, with a composed demeanor. He said, "General Manager Zhao, I went to discuss work with the boss. If you don't believe me, you can check the surveillance footage; otherwise, you should not deduct my salary."

After looking at it for a while, General Zhao directly threw the proposal onto Chen Tiancai's workstation, causing the entire plan to scatter under the force.

The two large options of "Yes" and "No" above began to sway slightly with his rapid breathing

Enter

This attitude must be contested, even if one does not wish to engage in conflict

Saying this, Liu Cheng returned Chen Tiancai's proposal to him, patted Chen Tiancai on the shoulder, and then turned back to his desk

After coming to this realization, Chen Tiancai shook his head and prepared to return to his workstation to diligently perform his duties, striving to repay Liu Cheng for the care he had received over the past six months

As Chen Tiancai stepped out, he immediately spotted his workstation, and his heart sank, for there stood a woman he least wanted to see, arms crossed and wearing an expression of anger.

Before Chen Tiancai could comprehend this information, a blue light curtain indicating the height of the middle finger appeared before his eyes, resembling a VR game experience with the diagram and text.

Hehe, I am planning before taking action, please take a look! After handing over the items, Chen Tiancai felt a great weight lifted off his shoulders, and although Liu Cheng was the chief planner, he was always approachable, which gradually eased Chen Tiancai's sense of tension

Chen Tiancai was responding to the concerned gazes of his colleagues around him, but he did not expect that General Zhao would pull such a move. However, he had not done anything wrong, so he naturally was not afraid of what she might say

Chen Tiancai took a deep breath, sensing the increasingly strong smell of smoke in the office, and realized that Liu Cheng was also having a difficult time.

Bang

The meeting is adjourned

It ends up all over the ground

Chen Tiancai's desolation was noticed by Liu Cheng, prompting this industry strongman to reminisce about his own youthful experiences. He then approached Chen Tiancai and comforted him, saying: "Your ideas and stories are indeed good, but you are aware of the difficulties in bringing them to fruition. The company is currently trying to overcome a financial crisis; otherwise, your plan could certainly be tested within the team."

Ultimately, programming, art, and music are the core components of a game. My proposal is merely an idea, a concept. Until it transforms into a playable game, it remains nothing more than a figment of textual planning.

Chen Tiancai felt a rush of warmth on his face and quickly stepped forward to place the proposal in front of Liu Cheng, saying: "This is my idea, Boss, please take a look!"
