I just want players to save money, but I was made the richest man

The employees of Ready Player One recently discovered that something was wrong with their boss.

The former boss had confidence in his eyes, spoke sonorously and forcefully, and exuded the aura of a strong man in every move he made.

And the current boss seems to have been chopped off urgently by Blue Star OL's plan to make a patch overnight for the sake of game balance.

"Stardew Valley" received explosive reviews. Although it didn't make much money, it was still considered a complete success.

The boss seemed to have changed.

I no longer lock myself in the office every day and work hard on plans for new games.

Instead, I would go out to the office area and take a walk every day when I had nothing to do.

Let's say he is inspecting the work of employees.

It's not like that either.

Because he often walks and then suddenly stands still.

He stares at a certain employee's computer from a distance, sometimes for half an hour.

This huge sense of invisible pressure often makes the targeted employees think that they have done something wrong, and they can only bite the bullet and find a job.

This keyboard is dirty. Let me clean it.

This table is a fucking table.

This line of coding seems wrong, I crtl+C, delete it, and then crtl+V

Employees are almost mentally ill.

As a result, I heard my boss say something lightly.

"Move this table and put it over there."

Then he left the messy employees in the wind and moved to another area to observe.

In less than a week, almost 80% of employees’ workstations have been transferred.

If it is just a transfer of workstations, this is normal. Many companies will also re-divide areas due to new groups or departments to make employees communicate more closely and efficiently.

But people say that they are all neat and tidy, with some distance between them.

But Ready Player One is a bit special.

The workstations are arranged with edges, corners and curvatures.

"What do I think and how do I feel? Why should I always set up the formation here?" After get off work one day, three or five employees gathered together to discuss the fine-tuning of their workstations during the recent period.

"I feel it too, but I can't say it."

"It seems like that sentence is true. Geniuses are always solitary, and it is difficult for ordinary people to understand their thoughts."

"By the way, what kind of formation is Mr. Ke setting up here?" An employee looked around, but since it was almost at the same level as the work station, he could only see the crooked formation, but could not feel the mystery behind it.

"I know this question, and I know a little bit about spatial abstract art. Judging from this formation, 80% of the time the carvings are not formations, but words." An employee wearing thick glasses calmly analyzed.

"Word? What word?"

The glasses man reached out and pushed the frame gently, crossed his chest and said coldly.

"Original."

"The plain where the grass grows."

"I am grass, original?"

"Yes, Hara."

"Why Hara?"

He added: "You can take a look. The row of workstations away from the general office is horizontally straight, and then the vertically facing workstations on the left are turned out. Doesn't it look like the original ones on the side? That one?"

"The work station in the middle is very complicated and difficult to identify, but it fits the strokes in the middle of the original character very well."

"Are the last few workstations similar to the points under the original words?"

After the words fell, several employees suddenly took a breath.

"Hiss... when you say it like that, it sounds a bit like ouch."

"Then what does this mean? Yuan...could it be a hint of the name of the next new game? The game contains the word Yuan?"

"Well, I feel like that's a bit like it. After all, Mr. Ke is always a maverick, so it's not unusual for him to do these fancy things."

"Okay, let's go, don't worry about it, just come up with a plan and we'll be done with it."

A group of employees walked away talking.

At this time, the door of the general manager's office was opened just a crack.

Just now, when Ke Jin was about to open the door, he heard them analyzing their motives.

I thought it was quite interesting, so I listened secretly for a while.

As a result, when he heard what they blurted out, Ke Jin couldn't hold back any longer.

Damn it!

It’s so obvious that I’m a winning person, okay?

You are the only one who knows a little bit about spatial abstract art. I’m afraid you only understand abstract art.

The reason why we need to move the work station a lot.

It was also the result of Ke Jin's careful consideration.

After many failures, Ke Jin seemed to have enlightened himself overnight.

Feng shui!

There is something very wrong with the feng shui of this company!

Just say it's not too far off. I've got double summons in this wave, full health and full skills. No matter how you look at it, it's a sure kill.

It's so boring that it makes people feel bored.

Prior to this, Kejin had always been a staunch scientist.

It wasn't until this time that his faith wavered slightly.

There are some problems that cannot be solved by science, so just turn to metaphysics!

Just put the work station in a winning position and destroy the original formation.

No matter where the monsters come from, back off!

I don’t know if it’s useful to engrave Jin.

Anyway, let’s build up the momentum first.

And wait until you go to work the next day.

Ke Jin discovered that things seemed to be turning for the better!

As soon as he arrived at the company, he saw the girl at the front desk blushing and being surrounded by all the employees.

Everyone said something to each other, although the tone was not blaming, they were just teaching her something.

But the girl at the front desk seemed a little sad, standing there helplessly, her eyes red.

Ke Jin took a closer look and realized it.

It turned out to be Wu Shi, the sister at the front desk, who passed by an aquarium specialty store when she was getting off work last night.

Seeing a very unique little guy swimming in the fish tank, she asked the shop owner.

The owner of the shop saw that Wu Shi was young and had probably never seen much of the world, so he told her that it was a lucky fish.

Wu Shi thought to herself.

The boss treats me well. Even if I am just an ordinary receptionist with no special talents, in addition to seven insurances and two funds, the benefits are sufficient.

She also likes the company's harmonious working atmosphere.

But there is nothing much that can be done for the company.

So I wanted to buy the lucky fish and put it on the rockery bonsai cabinet in front of the company.

Wish Mr. Ke good luck.

As a result, I felt stupid when I brought it to the company today.

Everyone's discussion came to a conclusion.

The scientific name of this fish is dorsal fin frogfish.

And it also has a more widely known name.

Sunfish.

They have a unique shape with a flat head, large eyes and an oval body.

Unlike deep sea sunfish.

This type of freshwater sunfish can roll quickly through the water, sometimes even to the surface.

"You're not trying to attract good fortune to the company. You're just trying to attract radiant energy."

"I……"

"Hurry and take it back, don't let Mr. Ke see it."

"That's right. Mr. Ke is a businessman after all, so he must be quite taboo about this kind of thing."

"If Mr. Ke looks at you like a sunfish, I'm afraid he will faint on the spot and fire you immediately."

"Ah?" Wu Shi was immediately frightened, tears almost fell, and she immediately choked up.

"I don't want to be expelled... Wuwuwu, I really didn't mean it... I didn't know it..."

At this moment, a slightly joyful voice suddenly came from the crowd.

"Keep it."

Everyone turned to look, only to find that Ke Jin was standing in the outer circle at some point, watching the little fish swimming up and down in the fish tank as if he were watching the fun.

"It's always better." Everyone greeted him one after another.

There is also humanity.

"Mr. Ke, this is a sunfish...doesn't the meaning be bad?"

"Yes, we are a game company and raising a sunfish doesn't mean that the new game will be overturned..."

Ke Jin insisted.

"Xiao Wu also means well, I don't blame her for this."

"Furthermore, I am a staunch scientist and I never believe in anything like metaphysics."

"Just keep it as a pet, it's not a big problem."

Seeing that their boss spoke like this, the employees couldn't say anything else.

Moreover, everyone found that Mr. Ke seemed to really like this fish.

He moved it directly to his office and got a small pearwood table stand for the little fish just to place it.

In the past few days, when employees knock on the door to report various matters, they can always see Mr. Ke standing next to the fish tank, holding a small handful of feed in his hand, and scattering a little from time to time.

He was still muttering something like, "Here, turn it over and let me see."

I always feel that this scene is a bit strange...but I can't put it into words.

Moreover, the only artist in the company who can be on an equal footing with Mr. Ke has gone back to school to study crazily because he has no new assignments in the recent period.

As a result, the employees had no way to find out what was going on, so they could only let Mr. Ji be happy.

What should we do? He is the boss.

The boss said not to be superstitious about metaphysics.

Then just call it Lucky Fish.

After changing his name, everyone seems to be less resistant to this little guy.

Occasionally when I enter the office, I can still see it blowing bubbles and spinning in circles on the water, which gives me a sense of déjà vu.

They all gradually accepted this little guy.

Such a small episode soon turned into a story.

The preview PV for the first hero of "League of Legends" was finally completed during this period.

Gou Chehua was planning to send it out while traveling in Kejin.

Who would have expected that Kejin would come back after playing for two days, and then asked all the staff to make "Stardew Valley" at the speed of light, so the refinement was repeatedly put on hold.

I just finished it now and showed it to Mr. Ke.

"Well, it's well done. You can send it." Ke Jin glanced through it briefly and nodded in agreement.

Moreover, after thinking about it.

A special production team of about 50 people was reassigned to League of Legends.

The requirement is to produce at least two heroes a month and equip each hero with an exclusive PV.

I was poor before and had to make other games to support my family. The development progress of LOL was also delayed again and again by Kejin.

Nowadays, the company's scale is slowly increasing, and its monthly turnover is 50 to 60 million.

Even if taxes and miscellaneous expenses are excluded, at least 20 to 30 million will fall into Kejin's pocket every month.

It is enough to support the research and development progress of this large-scale project of LOL.

Anyway, it is not required to be done in one go.

Two will be produced a month, and we will slowly add more people in the future.

After a year, there will be thirty or forty heroes, and it will be ready for launch.

After all, in the early days of the server opening, if one or two hundred heroes were thrown in at once.

The learning cost for players is too high, and they will stay away from this game.

As a game that had the largest e-sports event in the world in its previous life, Kejin did not want it to become a failure in this life, even at the risk of mission failure.

The reason why it was cast aside by many players in its last life was not the game itself.

It's about the poor gaming environment.

Moreover, maybe my ultimate mission will be unlocked a year later?

At that time, it might not be a bad idea to give the world a little bit of e-sports shock.

Ke Jin was quite looking forward to this moment.

As for the new game, Ke Jin holds the blind box reward issued by the system.

But I’m still thinking about what type to make.

After several overturns in the past, the number one player is now becoming more and more famous.

It is important to choose the type carefully and avoid market hot spots.

Anyway, the company is currently operating normally, and there is no rush to make games for a while.

And at the same time.

With the permission of Ke Jin.

The first character of "League of Legends" had a PV first, and finally logged into his own official account on major video platforms in the scorching heat of summer.

Due to its outstanding performance in recent times, Ready Player One has attracted much attention from players and peers.

Not even much publicity was spent.

Instead, Perak Station will actively push streams.

This video has quietly flowed into the recommendation lists of many gamers.

[Ready Player One is coming with the first promotional video of the new game "League of Legends"! 】

Not long after the video was posted, 10,000+ people gathered to watch it.

"First!"

"Front row!"

“I clicked on Ready Player One as soon as I saw it!”

"Guigui, why is this company releasing games so quickly... How long has it been since "Stardew Valley" and a new game has been released?"

"No, how many ideas does this guy like Gravograph have that he hasn't used up yet... I'm scared just looking at him."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuah, if you slow down the Gravograph, your mother will be afraid."

It was accompanied by many barrages sent out at the beginning of the promotional video.

The latest logo of Ready Player One also slowly appeared on the dark screen.

In a small piece of desert-like loess, there is a clear spring water. There is also a lush and towering coconut tree standing beside the spring water. The painting style tends to be cartoonish.

And soon, a coconut fell from the tree and fell straight into the spring. Amidst the splashing water, the two characters [Oasis] vaguely appeared.

"Oasis? Not Ready Player One?"

"Are we going to set up a branch? Logically speaking, the scale of Ready Player One's head office has already increased, and it will be promoted to an S-class company with the release of one or two masterpieces."

"possible."

"By the way, what type of game is this time?"

As the barrages scrolled, the PV pictures gradually emerged.

A pair of slender hands wearing fingerless black gloves was twisting a small clockwork monkey.

Wind up the clockwork fully, and then reach out and gently pat the clockwork monkey's head.

"Snapped."

"Snapped."

The clockwork monkey held the gong and started to run, and a dynamic theme music gradually appeared on the screen, accompanied by a lazy and naughty female voice.

Blah blah blablah

Wanna join me, come and play

But I might shoot you, in your face

Then, the video screen changed.

I saw a loli with twin ponytails with indigo braids, diving straight down from mid-air with a missile on her feet.

The camera zoomed in, and the seemingly cute girl opened her mouth and showed a crazy smile.

Behind her, followed a large swarm of missiles.

Vigorous and powerful drum beats are continuously output along with the BGM, every time the drum beats fall.

The scene will also quickly complete a stroboscopic transition between her and the clockwork monkey beating the gong.

As the missile flew at low altitude, the falling point in front of her gradually appeared in front of the audience.

It seemed to be a city with highly advanced technology, with various futuristic buildings filled with blue energy operating in an orderly manner.

And just when the girl opened her arms and was about to run headlong into the city, the smile on her face became extremely crazy at this moment, and the female voice in the background music opened her throat at the right time and sang wildly.

Do you ever wanna catch me?

Right now I'm feeling ignored!

In the next moment, there was no explosion scene that the audience expected.

The screen is switched again.

The girl seems to have been arrested and imprisoned in the city's underground prison.

But she sneaked out and wandered through the cell corridors wantonly.

The camera was slowed down, and she showed no fear as she hummed a song and clapped her hands lightly while jumping forward.

He immediately turned back and made a naughty yet provocative gesture towards the cell.

The song also reaches its climax at this moment, with the female singer's tone getting higher and higher, accompanied by cynical intensity.

Come on, shoot faster, Come on

Just a little bit of energy!

Then, it began to enter a visual feast of rapid strobing.

The girl was holding a heavy-duty Gatling weapon, laughing crazily and shooting at the robot in front of her.

The screen fades out.

Soon, she hugged the robot, which was already dilapidated and even leaking electricity, and danced wantonly under the spotlight.

After disappearing into darkness again.

She lay in the bathtub filled with bullets, and a handful of bullets in her hand kept slipping from her fingertips.

The next moment, she appeared on the blown-up aerostat, holding a hot-air balloon in her hand as she slowly landed.

The next moment, she was holding a large, strange-shaped grenade in her hand. Behind her were already collapsed high-rise buildings and ruins.

The continuous jumps of multiple scenes should have caused visual fragmentation in the audience.

However, it is perfectly connected by the rhythmic song drums and the clockwork monkey that constantly intersperses into the picture.

The PV, which lasted less than two minutes, came to an end quickly.

In the end, she stepped on the corpses of countless clockwork monkeys, jumped up with a shark rocket launcher, and jumped towards a huge clockwork monkey that appeared in front of her.

The song also ended abruptly at this moment.

The last scene showed her slowly waking up from the bar counter.

Everything seemed to have returned to calm.

Nothing seemed to have happened.

The girl stood up lazily and yawned.

Then he stared with interest at the motionless clockwork doll monkey at hand.

He gestured with a gun with his hand.

"boom~"

Accompanied by her naughty hum.

The four big characters "League of Legends" suddenly fell and hit the screen!

The promotional video ends here.

And the barrages were rolling in waves at this moment.

"Let me tell you, this promotional video is too cool, isn't it?"

"I couldn't understand it, but I was shocked."

"My editing skills are very strong. It's obviously just a fragmented picture, but because of the time and the rhythm of the drum, it doesn't make people feel separated. I'm so stunned!"

"The portrayal of this character in the promotional video is quite evident. He is crazy about beauties. But the question is, what type of game is this? I don't understand it. Can someone analyze it?"

"I don't understand it either. Anyway, as long as the song sounds good and the picture looks cool, that's it."

"Gravograph has also started to be the Riddler, right? Whose promotional video does this? It makes me bored..."

After this promotional video was played, the feeling it brought to everyone was just one word.

Cool!

But besides being cool, it also burned everyone's CPU.

Other people’s promotional videos are basically concise summaries of the entire game.

Just like the title of a novel or the title of a movie.

It will show the gameplay, content, and type of the game as much as possible.

The result is Ready Player One.

Everyone didn’t understand it after reading it once, and they didn’t even know what it was about.

In fact, it’s not just the players who don’t understand.

Even game manufacturers who learned that Ready Player One was suspected of releasing a new game set up a special research team overnight.

I also lost my way during some crazy analysis.

"Based on my ten years of experience in the industry, I don't see what this CG is trying to express."

"The songs are well produced, the editing is good, and the graphics budget is adequate."

"But what message does Ready Player One want it to convey?"

"No, according to this guy's urine, he must be hiding something inside!"

"If you look carefully and carefully and look at it ten times, I don't believe you can't find it!"

Don’t say it ten times.

Designers read it 20 times, 30 times in public.

Even in the conference room, people were still in the dead of night all the way from the evening, which made everyone feel numb, and they didn't analyze the reason.

And soon, someone finally discovered the problem.

"Wait a minute... everyone seems to be going in the wrong direction."

"If you think of it as a preview of the game, then it's obviously very strange."

"But what if you regard it as a character's preview PV?"

A word that wakes up the dreamer!

The designers all reacted.

But after that, they were replaced by even more shocked faces.

It seems that Ready Player One has not publicly stated whether this thing is a promotional video or a preview PV.

But here's the thing.

Whose game warm-up does not release a promotional video, but instead releases a character PV?

Isn’t this simply killing players’ expectations?

Things that even major manufacturers dare not do, you top players are doing nonsense, right?

And soon, half a month later.

When another preview PV of a new character was released.

Colleagues who were frantically studying the number one player, trying to find new types and seizing the time to follow suit, were completely numb.

Please! Let’s get some real promo footage!

If you press the PV and come out, how can we copy it?

Note: English is not included in the word count because the English at the starting point is not included in the word count.

This is Jinx’s CG. As one of Riot’s biological daughters, and with a relatively vivid personality, it shouldn’t be a big problem to put her first, and she will also be one of the protagonists in the subsequent Battle of Two Cities.

If you haven’t played LOL before, you can check out this CG. The songs are very nice and touching.
