Top game producer

"Pokémon" is in the initial stages of development.

Warm and pleasant sunlight streamed onto the desk, casting a gentle glow on the Nai Xi figurine. Her elegant礼裙 (lǐ qún - ceremonial dress) was bathed in soft, warm hues, making her playful smile seem even more lively, cheerful, and inspiring.

Wang Jian gazed intently at the screen, his fingers flying across the keyboard as he refined some of the settings for "Pokémon."

The secretary, a tool person in a black skirt, noticed Wang Jian's absorption in his work and quietly placed a cup of hot tea beside him.

A little while passed.

A fluffy white figure appeared in the doorway, cautiously peeking in—it was Cotton Candy.

The small head scanned the studio, hesitation flickering in its beautiful blue eyes.

Then, it tiptoed forward, taking small steps, constantly glancing around as if wary of something.

Above the cat climbing frame near the door, a black shadow crouched low, its eyes fixed intently on the scene below, motionless, with only the faintest rise and fall of its body.

Wang Jian was typing away when he suddenly sensed something and looked towards the doorway, a delighted smile spreading across his face. His cat radar had keenly detected Cotton Candy's presence.

Upon seeing Wang Jian look over, Cotton Candy let out a soft, sugary "Meow" and started to come over.

But at that moment, Black Rice, who had been lying in wait on the cat climbing frame for so long, struck!

It pushed off the climbing frame with all its might, shooting down like a black arrow, emitting a fierce "RUA" sound!

Cotton Candy immediately sensed the danger, arching its back and leaping up from the ground, dodging Black Rice's pounce and attempted block, while simultaneously swinging its kitty-cat fists in retaliation and quickly dashing towards Wang Jian!

Wang Jian quickly reached out, catching Cotton Candy in his arms as it gracefully jumped!

Cotton Candy looked at Wang Jian with a wronged expression, meowing weakly. Wang Jian gently stroked it from head to tail, comforting it with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid~".

Black Rice paced back and forth on the ground, looking very disgruntled, wanting to jump up as well, but Wang Jian nudged it twice with his foot: "Cotton Candy is just visiting occasionally, don't bully it. You two should get along!"

On the other side, Tong Ke noticed the scene and waved at Black Rice with a grin: "Black Rice is jealous, wanting you all to itself. It's okay, Black Rice, come to me, let me give you a loving hug!"

Black Rice twitched its whiskers, glared at Wang Jian resentfully, and jumped into Tong Ke's arms, burying its head deeply.

Hmph, you stinky human, now I'm someone else's cat!

It secretly glanced back again, that darned biped, not even coming to comfort me.

Wang Jian was also helpless. Black Rice was usually quite well-behaved and obedient, but every time Cotton Candy came, it would act like a different cat, determined to make a scene.

But its little fits came and went quickly; as long as he offered it two small dried fish later, it would become affectionate again.【】

Though the two cats were noisy, and the scene looked fierce for a moment, all the attacks were dodged.

And they had their claws trimmed, so even if they hit each other, they wouldn't cause any harm, which was why Wang Jian wasn't afraid of them fighting.

Wang Jian stroked Cotton Candy's small head: "I even wanted to set you two up as a CP! How about calling you Black and White Impermanence?"

"Meow~"

Cotton Candy was really great to pet; its long fur was as smooth and soft as fine silk, and it felt very substantial to the touch.

Wang Jian couldn't help but reveal a wicked smile, his fingers like the tentacles of a small octopus, kneading and rubbing in the soft fur, quickly causing Cotton Candy to purr and roll over, exposing its white belly, looking dazed and intoxicated.

Just as Wang Jian was petting the cat, Ye Meng, her eyes sparkling with excitement, came over and bent down to gently stroke it a couple of times!

As she stroked, she couldn't help but praise, "Cotton Candy's fur is so soft and smooth!"

The beauties of the art team unconsciously gathered behind Wang Jian!

"Really, it's so cute!"

"Its blue eyes are so beautiful!"

"It's like a plush toy."

"That's why it's called a Ragdoll cat!"

"I want to touch it too!"

Wang Jian was petting the cat when he suddenly smelled a faint fragrance. He looked up in surprise to find himself surrounded by a group of girls!

Amidst the giggles, slender hands reached out, and Wang Jian sensed something, becoming alarmed!

Were they just petting the cat? Why did it feel like someone was taking advantage of him?

Cotton Candy also hid in Wang Jian's arms, too scared to lift its head.

Wang Jian quickly put on a stern face and waved his hand, shooing them away: "What are you all doing? Have you finished your work that you're running over here to tease the cat? Be careful, or I'll deduct your wages!"

The girls from the art team dispersed with regret, and Wang Jian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he thought with some displeasure, who was the one taking advantage of him just now?

It's really too hateful; if he catches such an employee, they'll definitely have a hard time!

He quickly petted Cotton Candy a couple of times to soothe his mood.

As if thinking of something, he took out his giraffe notebook and recorded the scene of Black Rice ambushing Cotton Candy on the cat climbing frame.

Because he was constantly using experience books to make up for his shortcomings, Wang Jian's drawing skills had improved considerably compared to when he first started.

At least now, his efficiency and ability to capture scenes were much stronger when sketching.

He recorded the scene in two parts, one part was the scene of Black Rice's agile pounce, and the other part was the scene of Cotton Candy's nimble dodge.

In the past, he would record any interesting material on his computer, but now that he had the giraffe notebook that increased inspiration by 3%, it was naturally more appropriate to record it in the notebook.

As he was drawing, another figure appeared at the studio door, it was Huang Xing.

Like Cotton Candy, she was also very familiar with the place, with two dimples appearing as she smiled: "I knew Cotton Candy ran over here! Am I disturbing your work?"

Wang Jian quickly waved his hand: "You're welcome anytime."

However, thinking about how he had been taken advantage of for no reason just now, he felt a bit of a gnawing feeling of resentment!

The two chatted casually.

Wang Jian said: "By the way, have you played 'Lightspeed'? What do you think?"

Huang Xing covered her mouth, laughing a bit guiltily: "Well… it feels pretty fun, but the controls are a bit troublesome…"

Actually, after she downloaded 'Lightspeed,' she played it for ten minutes and couldn't figure out the controls. The visual style wasn't very appealing to her, so she uninstalled it and got a refund!

She preferred 'Kingdom Rush,' with its cartoonish, cute style, easy and relaxing gameplay, where you could poke the sheep on the map and find Easter eggs.

"By the way, what game are you developing now? It looks pretty interesting!"

Huang Xing had actually noticed the Pokémon concept art on Wang Jian's desk as soon as she sat down.

She was curious, why was there a garlic bulb on the turtle's back?

Wang Jian smiled and introduced: "This game is called 'Pokémon'…"
