In the conference room, Lin Xingning sat next to Chief Xu, with an awkward smile. Sitting opposite him were Cao Gong, Liu Kewei, Duan Shanshan and She Jinshan. Just like the previous times, this game had already begun.

The planning meeting for more than half an hour was filled with a strange atmosphere.

The four people on the opposite side introduced their documents in turn. As soon as they finished speaking, each person was immediately ridiculed by Chief Xu, and then ordered to go back and rewrite, and asked to resubmit new planning ideas the next day.

Ling Xingning had no experience with the copywriting work and therefore had no say. However, at least in terms of system planning and level planning, Lin Xingning himself did not agree with Chief Xu's decision. Although he was confident that if those tasks were handed over to him,

He could produce something of at least the same level in his hands, but he also admitted that the work results of Cao Gong, Liu Kewei and She Jinshan were definitely not as bad as Xu Zhuce said. In fact, it was quite the opposite.

, most of the designs can give Lin Xingning a feeling of sadness, but for those parts where the views are inconsistent, Lin Xingning does not even dare to confirm that his own plan is more correct and appropriate. At most, it is just that everyone has different perspectives.

To put it simply, Lin Xingning felt that the documents produced by the four people opposite him could be used directly based on his game development experience. This had been the case since he first participated in the Holy Grail Studio planning meeting, but why was he allowed to be the chief planner?

What about rejecting revisions over and over again?

Is it because Director Xu’s requirements are too high and his expectations are too high? Or is it because of some other special reasons?

As a new arrival, he knew very well that he didn’t understand anything. In this environment, he should learn from Zhang Tingyu’s philosophy of life in the Qing Dynasty: “It is better to be silent than to speak a thousand words.” So in every planning meeting, he talked from beginning to end.

They all tried their best to maintain an implicit silence. Even if they were called out by Chief Xu to express their opinions, they would only say some simple judgments that were carefully chosen, and they would express themselves without any fanfare.

On the first day he entered this company, Director Xu told him that what valued him the most was the "want to find new challenges" written in the job-hopping motivation in his cover letter. Director Xu said that he valued him very much.

An ambition to pursue higher ideals.

But Xu Zhuce didn't know that these words were actually Ling Xingning's words that knocked out his teeth and swallowed them in his stomach against his will.

The actual situation is that Ling Xingning was squeezed out by the boss of the previous company. The reason is very simple. The product is expected to be a big seller. The former boss must either honor the previous contract and pay a large dividend to the R&D team in proportion to future profits;

For these reasons, most of the team members will be driven away, only a small number of people who enjoy dividends will be retained as the core, and a group of new people who are cheap and do not need to pay dividends will be recruited to keep the project running.

Unfortunately, Ling Xingning's former boss was a greedy and stingy person, so he chose the latter approach. Because most of the system planning work had been completed during the game's internal testing phase, and the level planning work increased with the game's upper limit.

The improvement and the opening of new scenes corresponding to the levels can also be of great use, so Ling Xingning and others were kicked out for some reasons, leaving only a few team members such as the level team leader.

Therefore, Lin Xingning's real motivation for changing jobs was not ambition, but necessity. He is just an ordinary IT guy who wants to go to work in peace and quiet.

What he didn't expect was that after finally changing a company, he would be thrown into such a complicated and weird working environment. Faced with the inexplicable tension between his boss and colleagues, he looked at the people around him who had a lot of meaning.

The look in his eyes made Ling Xingning feel deeply anxious and stressed.

The most depressing thing was that he didn't know who to talk to about all the pressures he felt after changing into a new environment. As soon as he entered the Holy Grail Studio, he was entrusted with the important task of deputy chief planner. It can be said that chief Xu had a favor for him.

I wonder if telling him all his troubles would disappoint him? As for the other colleagues around him, seeing how they kept secrets and were on guard against each other, Ling Xingning felt on pins and needles for no reason, let alone open his heart to them.

All of this can only be kept silently in my heart.

He could feel that Xu Zhuce might have regarded him as a sharp blade, and the target of his attack was probably one of the four people sitting across from him at the moment, or all of them. Fortunately, Xu Zhuce did not force him to express his position immediately. In recent times,

Just taking him to participate in the planning meeting in the name of "familiar with the business" has not pushed him to the front line of the struggle. However, that day is probably not far away.

After leaving the conference room, Ling Xingning went to inspect the testing work of the execution planners as usual. Recently, since Cao Gong and others have devoted all their time and energy to modifying documents, various testing tasks of the test server have been handed over to the execution team.

The planners were responsible for this, and this part of the work was assigned to Ling Xingning to take charge of it. Therefore, attending meetings every day, understanding the test situation, and taking time to familiarize himself with the production outline and various planning documents became Ling Xingning's main work content.

He reluctantly cheered up, walked to each executive planning desk one by one, bent down to take a look at their testing progress, and chatted a few words about testing work.

Suddenly, he noticed an abnormality in the game screen of an executive planner in the distance. Out of professional sensitivity, his attention was quickly attracted to it. However, before he could see the details clearly, he saw the executive planner pressing the button smoothly.

Remove the power button on the chassis and restart the machine...

"Wait a minute, what happened during your test just now? Why didn't you report it immediately? Why did you need to restart?" Ling Xingning couldn't help shouting. He walked quickly to the executive planner, attracting the side glances of everyone nearby.

.

Cao Gong, Liu Kewei and others who were originally sitting in their seats quickly came closer, and even Xu Zhuce couldn't help but look sideways.

"What happened?" Liu Kewei asked, "What did you see?"

"I restarted without seeing him clearly, but it feels like it's a serious bug. You can ask him about the specific situation." Ling Xingning pointed at the executive planner with a frown.

Cao Gong and Liu Kewei looked at Ling Xingning suspiciously, and the latter couldn't help but puff up his chest and look calm.

After not seeing any ulterior motives from Ling Xingning, Liu Kewei turned around and asked the executive planner: "What happened during your test just now? Why did you need to restart it?"

The execution plan suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention. For a moment, he couldn't react. He explained nonchalantly: "It's nothing. It's just that the character was running on the map and suddenly fell. Because I couldn't continue the test, I decided to

Go restart the machine."

"The character fell off the scene map?" Liu Kewei's eyes widened. He instinctively came to the same conclusion as Ling Xingning. This might be an extremely serious bug. "Why didn't you report the bug as soon as possible?"

"Is this considered a bug? There is no error warning in the game program!" The executive planner blinked blankly, "I thought only error warnings were considered bugs..."

Not in the mood to scold this inexperienced rookie, Liu Kewei quickly asked: "What operations did you just do that caused the character to fall? Can you remember it? Try to reproduce the bug quickly!

"

"I didn't do anything, I just ran around the scene map for a while, and then suddenly fell." The executive planner replied.

Tens of seconds later, with a group of people watching, the executive planner tried his best to repeat all the previous steps on the test server. Unfortunately, everything was normal this time and nothing happened.

Liu Kewei, Cao Gong and Ling Xingning exchanged worried glances with each other.

"Accidental bug?" Liu Kewei asked gently.

Cao Gong pursed his lips and nodded, and Ling Xingning also gave a soft "hmm" in agreement. However, Duan Shanshan, who had just come up to him, was a little confused about the situation and asked in confusion: "What is an 'occasional' bug?"

"Literally, it's a bug that was accidentally triggered." Liu Kewei replied angrily. He simply pushed away the execution plan, grabbed the keyboard and mouse and controlled the character, running around like a headless fly in the game scene.

Duan Shanshan still had a confused expression, but Liu Kewei was already focused on the testing work and had no time to explain. However, Ling Xingning beside him couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to explain to him.

Said: "Infrequent bugs cannot be reproduced according to the operating process and are highly concealed. It will increase the difficulty of planning and program processing at all stages of testing, submission, resolution and inspection."

"Oh, I understand if you put it like that." Duan Shanshan nodded as if he had just woken up from a dream.

Ten minutes later, Liu Kewei impatiently pushed away the keyboard and mouse and gave up trying his luck. He stood up and stared coldly at the executive who had restarted the plan without authorization, and spoke dissatisfiedly.

"I've said it so many times, if you encounter any abnormality during testing, take a screenshot as soon as possible and keep the scene, then submit a bug report, and then notify the program department to confirm the situation. Why not follow the workflow?"

The executive planner lowered his head with a blushing face. Of course he knew the rules and so on, but when he actually encountered them, he would inevitably find it troublesome and waste time. He was worried that it might delay the completion of his test tasks or even have to work overtime, so some people felt that "

"Insignificant small situation" is simply ignored.

"Have you encountered this bug before?" Ling Xingning, who was watching coldly, asked.

The executive planner nodded guiltily.

Cao Gong, who had been watching silently, also interjected at this time: "Has anyone else encountered this bug?"

To their surprise, two of the other three executive planners raised their hands hesitantly.
