We Promised To Make A Bad Game, But What The Hell Is Titanfall?

Chapter 81 A little rebate shock

Fast forward to Monday night.

Golden Wind Games, Game Director's Office.

Gu Sheng was holding the controller and playing the game with concentration.

In fact, according to regulations, Golden Wind's off-duty time is five o'clock.

But Gu Sheng is still more accustomed to staying in the office until seven or eight o'clock.

Not working, just to stay in the company for a while, check the phone, make a cup of tea and watch videos, or even just plug in the controller and play two games of Vampire Survivor like today.

Anyway, he is the only one who has enough food to keep the whole family from being hungry.

Instead of going home and facing an empty room, feeling overwhelmed and alone, it is better to spend more time in the company.

At least, since I was the only one in the office, it seemed reasonable.

Whoosh whoosh——

bass!

As the Death Scythe cut the small skeleton on the screen in half, Gu Sheng also put down the controller.

He raised his hand and looked at his Mickey watch. It was almost eight o'clock.

"Let's go home."

After muttering, Gu Sheng put away the handle, stood up and walked out of the office.

But it just came out!

Gu Sheng couldn't help but exclaimed softly: "Damn, I'm so excited...Did I fucking see the Palace of Hell?"

But see you!

In the conference room at the end of the corridor, there was light shining out at this moment.

To know!

Their Golden Wind conference room is usually just a decoration and is rarely used every two to three months.

It is not even an exaggeration to say that Little Nezha used it as a private theater more times than it held meetings.

Therefore, the lights in the conference room are usually not turned on and are vacant most of the time.

But today!

It’s almost eight o’clock in the evening!

The lights in the conference room are still on?

The most important thing is, why is the color of the light red?

In the office shrouded in darkness, at the end of the deserted corridor, there is a scary conference room with red light flashing.

Gulu.

Even though Gu Sheng was brave, he couldn't help but swallow at this moment.

Thinking that Qingming Festival had just passed a week ago, Gu Sheng couldn't help but feel a little doubtful:

"What? This is...the first seven commendation meeting?"

Thinking about it, Gu Sheng took steps and tiptoed to the door of the conference room that was glowing with red light.

Gently push the door open a crack and take a peek.

Just then, there was an iPad poking on the conference table, and a red candle plugged into the left and right sides.

In front of the iPad, there was a disposable paper cup with three thin cigarettes inserted in it.

The little Nezha, who was highlighted by the red light and looked extremely weird, was standing in front of the iPad, clasping his hands together and mumbling something as if he was mumbling something.

For a moment, Gu Sheng was a little at a loss.

But just as he was hesitating whether to turn around and leave or open the door and ask.

Little Nezha finished mumbling, bowed three times to the iPad, and then opened his eyes.

For a moment, their eyes met.

A brief moment of dead silence.

“Ahhhhhh——!!!”

Like a cat whose tail was stepped on, Shen Miaomiao screamed and her whole body jumped up:

"Gu Sheng, why are you acting like a ghost?!"

"Me? Like a ghost?"

Gu Sheng couldn't believe his ears, pushed the door open, turned on the front camera of his phone, and pointed the screen towards Shen Miaomiao:

"Come here and let me show you a baby——"

"Mom!"

Seeing the 'female ghost' with a distorted face and a strange red light in her eyes on the screen, Shen Miaomiao stepped back and fell on the sofa with a thud:

"ghost!"

"Then it's your own fucking self."

Gu Sheng's head was full of black lines, and he turned on the lights in the conference room.

He looked at the disposable paper cup incense burner on the conference table, and then at Shen Miaomiao who was in shock and gasping as she patted her chest.

"so……"

Gu Sheng was really a little confused about the situation in front of him:

"Are you summoning something?"

"What words! What kind of words are these!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Miaomiao was not happy. She stood up from the sofa and put her hands on her hips. She reached out and gestured to the iPad on the table:

"My Majesty Wu Caishen, I don't dare to say anything nonsense!"

Hearing this, Gu Sheng turned around and saw a picture of Master Guan's statue on his iPad.

"……Wow."

Gu Sheng was silent for a long time before he sighed in admiration:

"What a fucking cybernetic way to incense."

"The conditions... are limited,"

Shen Miaomiao was also a little embarrassed and scratched her head:

"The main thing is to be sincere and spiritual."

"Then I'll say goodbye too,"

Seeing Shen Miaomiao's sarcastic look, Gu Sheng found it funny and stood in front of Master Saiboguan, clasping his hands:

"Master Guan, please bless our golden wind to make a lot of money and make all our works sell well..."

"Hey - shut up!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Miaomiao's scalp went numb and she jumped up and pulled Gu Sheng.

Then I took the tablet and locked the screen with a snap!

Why is your mouth so weak?

Shen Miaomiao wrinkled her little nose and glared at Gu Sheng!

How can you make such a wish! How unlucky!

Gu Sheng was stunned!

"You locked Wu Caishen in the tablet...?"

"Because this is my Martial God of Fortune!"

Shen Miaomiao hugged the tablet tightly, fearing that Gu Sheng would make some unlucky wish:

"You can't use my Martial God of Wealth to make a wish!"

"...Okay, okay, okay, your Wu Caishen,"

Seeing Shen Miaomiao's tender and angry look, Gu Sheng smiled, raised his hands in surrender, and then asked:

"Then can I ask you about your thoughts on visiting Mr. Guan in the conference room so late at night? I just came out of the office and thought I saw the first seven parties getting together."

"Because the first week sales results of Road to Survival are about to be released!"

Shen Miaomiao raised her neck:

"I'll let Mr. Guan protect us, can't I?"

"Ah... don't bother me about this matter..."

Gu Sheng shrugged:

"Our current sales volume is already among the best, and our profitability is certain. What else is there to do?"

Gu Sheng's words are correct.

From the perspective of the company and the market, there is no doubt about success in today's road to survival.

After all, among the FPS works released at the same time as them, the most powerful one is Guangyao Studio's Fearless Sniper.

But now, through a creative workshop module, the fearless sniper who has been chasing them madly has also been stepped on by them.

It can be said that they have no rivals in the domestic FPS market at the same time.

It is precisely because of this that this time, everyone at Golden Wind did not pay much attention to the sales volume in the first week, and they all went home from get off work on the settlement day.

But Shen Miaomiao's words were astonishing!

"You're too small! You're too small!"

Little Nezha put his hands on his hips and said with awe-inspiring righteousness:

“What I care about is whether we can achieve our first week’s return!”

In a way, she wasn't talking nonsense.

After all, with a 100-fold rebate card in her hand, as long as she loses one yuan in the game, she will receive one hundred yuan in her small coffers.

So, she asked Mr. Guan to bless her and let her lose more or less. Even if it was ten thousand, she would still get one million.

But in Gu Sheng’s eyes!

Her image instantly grew taller and more dazzling!

"hiss--"

Hearing this, Gu Sheng couldn't help but take a breath!

He really deserves to be from a noble family!

Just when they are still satisfied with their current achievements in the road of survival!

Mr. Shen has already begun to expect the game to create a miracle of making money back in a single week!

have a look! have a look!

This is my position! This concept! Such a pattern!

high! hard! High and hard!

Gu Sheng is even more grateful that he has joined the Golden Wind!

Here, he not only has enough money to spend, make the games he likes, but even upgrade those classic games!

Moreover, the company environment is favorable, with enough food and drink, enough wages, and you can work and fish!

Even the boss couldn't bear to add KPIs to them. If he had any expectations, he would just make wishes through the metaphysical method of burning incense and worshiping Buddha!

Where can I find a company like this? !

Gu Sheng asked himself.

Even if I start my own company, I can't be as friendly and open-minded as Mr. Shen!

What a good boss...

Just as he was thinking about it, Shen Miaomiao asked cautiously: "Lao Gu, do you think this work of ours...can pay for itself in the first week?"

"Um--"

Hearing this, Gu Sheng looked serious and pondered for a moment:

"If there is no fearless sniper to disrupt the situation, it shouldn't be difficult to return to the original point in the first week,"

"But their publicity at the time of their debut, coupled with their subsequent pursuit and interception of us, still affected our sales to a certain extent,"

"But don't worry, even if you can't achieve the first week's return, it probably won't be much different."

Gu Sheng's words made Shen Miaomiao happy and worried at the same time!

To know!

Lao Gu's judgment on the market has always been very accurate.

He said it would be difficult to make back the money in the first week, so it should be impossible to make back the money.

However, he also said that even if he doesn't get his money back, it won't be much different...

So how much is this?

But damn, don’t be like that time with the vampire, losing $80 to her and getting a hundred and eighty cents back!

If the final settlement result comes out, she will lose one yuan and give her a one hundred yuan rebate. She is afraid that she will have to open the window and go downstairs on the spot!

Just talking!

Didi didi - didi didi -

Just then, the alarm clock that Shen Miaomiao had set before rang!

Gu Sheng raised his hand and looked at Mickey's watch: "There is only one last minute, let's take a look together?"

"Um!"

Shen Miaomiao took a deep breath and nodded heavily.

Then, the two of them turned their heads at the same time and looked at the large projection screen in front of the conference room!

There, is the developer backend page of Yiyou!

Ten, nine, eight, seven...

Shen Miaomiao swallowed nervously, her heart beating rapidly, and she closed her eyes: "Lao Gu Lao Gu, please report the data to me."

"OK,"

Gu Sheng nodded, and then counted down the last three numbers softly:

"Three, two, one..."

Click!

The background page refreshes data on the hour!

Looking at the final weekly data summary, Gu Sheng pursed his lips, and then said in a deep voice:

"The cost of the road to survival is 10.85 million yuan, the unit price is 85 per copy, and the final sales data in the first week are:"

"158,088 copies, total sales turnover of 13,437,480 yuan, deducting commission, the final profit is -"

"10.75 million yuan,"

"...It's a pity that I'm only one hundred thousand short of getting my money back."

Five full seconds!

There was dead silence in the conference room!

then!

Shen Miaomiao, who had her eyes closed tightly, heard a trembling voice: "...you said...how much?"

"10.75 million."

"No, the latter sentence."

"I said - it's a pity, we are only 100,000 short of getting back our capital. If the bastard Guangyao hadn't messed up the situation, we would definitely have paid back our capital in the first week..."

Shen Miaomiao could no longer hear clearly what Gu Sheng said.

She carefully opened her eyes through a slit and peeked at the large projection screen.

Above is their first week's results, and Gu Sheng's report was accurate.

The next second.

Shen Miaomiao heard a beautiful crisp sound in her mind!

【Ding! time up! This round of investment settlement is completed! 】

Immediately afterwards, the system settlement interface appeared——

【Ding! Project loss detected! 】

[Project: Road to Survival]

[Project investment amount: 10.85 million yuan]

[Project loss amount: 100,000 yuan]

【Ding! Super guaranteed card takes effect! Use it with a hundredfold rebate bonus! 】

[Project rebate amount: 10 million yuan]

[Remaining time for settlement: 0]

【Ding! The loss settlement is completed and the rebate has been issued to the host’s personal bank card! 】

Then, the mobile phone in Shen Miaomiao's hand vibrated!

Buzz——

[Your debit card account 1118 deposited 10,000,016.00 yuan through mobile banking transfer on April 15th...]

Ten million! ! !

thick! present! crab!

Shen Miaomiao's head buzzed intuitively!

I checked the bank card arrival number twice!

Over there, Gu Sheng was still looking at the big screen and analyzing to himself:

"It's okay. Although it didn't reach the first week profit, after all, the total investment in the game is here,"

"The larger the investment project, the longer the profit cycle will be,"

"Besides, during this period, Guangyao Games has been obstructing us in publicity, which has resulted in our media publicity being insufficient. We basically rely solely on word of mouth among players,"

"In this case, during the subsequent publicity and distribution process, it is necessary to try as much as possible..."

"Lao Gu!!!"

Not finished yet!

Hearing Shen Miaomiao's voice interrupted his thoughts, her tone was filled with suppressed excitement!

"ah?"

Gu Sheng did not look back, but continued to look at the screen, analyzing in his mind, and replied casually:

"What's wrong?"

"This sales volume is exciting enough."

Behind her, Shen Miaomiao put away her mobile phone and looked at Gu Sheng with a pair of big watery eyes, her eyes flashed with bright light, her little mouth was slightly raised, as if she was about to laugh out loud in the next second.

"Yeah," Gu Sheng answered a little absent-mindedly, as if he was thinking about the future development direction: "Really excited?"

Shen Miaomiao nodded vigorously: "I'm really excited!"

"Oh, how excited are you?" Gu Sheng responded casually in order to prevent his words from falling to the floor.

Then, Shen Miaomiao answered from behind: "Yes -"

Talk!

Shen Miaomiao stepped back two steps, then slightly bent her knees and squatted down, as if she was about to jump long distance.

Then, he aimed at Gu Sheng, lunged out, and leaped with his light body!

"Hey! So excited! Hahahaha——!!!"

Shen Miaomiao succeeded in the sneak attack and found a mount for herself on the spot!

Ten million, ten million!

To know!

It has been almost a year since she obtained the system!

And during this year, the maximum rebate amount she received was only fifty yuan!

Therefore, how could she not be excited about a rebate of 10 million!

"Oh shit!"

Gu Sheng felt a peach-like fragrance coming from behind him!

Immediately afterwards, two delicate arms hugged his neck!

When he stabilized his body, he realized that Shen Miaomiao was already hanging on him!

"No? Why are you so excited to ride me?!"

"This is called the spring breeze and the horse's hooves are anxious! Please cooperate!"

Shen Miaomiao patted Gu Sheng on the shoulder:

"Forget it, I don't understand even if I tell you, drive!"

"You are a boss corporally punishing your employees!"

Gu Sheng was dissatisfied and protested.

"Corporal punishment is nothing!" Shen Miaomiao retorted: "I weigh less than ninety kilograms, not ninety kilograms!"

"But I am a director after all. I work with five or six people every day, and I am a senior executive outside. If people see this, it will have a lot of influence..."

"I'll treat you to a meal. You can order whatever you want."

"Then... I can carry you downstairs at most!"

"Can I request a song?"

"That's too much, Shen Miaomiao. Have you ever seen anyone's horse open its mouth to talk? I'm not a shaker!"

“Add a luxurious ice drink!”

"Dad's father's name is grandpa..."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

There's a fuss going on!

Just then, Gu Sheng's phone rang.

Amid Shen Miaomiao's excited laughter, Gu Sheng answered the phone:

"Hello, I'm Gu Sheng."

I heard a male voice coming from the other end of the phone: "Hello Mr. Gu, I'm sorry to bother you. I'm calling you today..."

"I do not need it, thank you."

When Gu Sheng heard that it was a sales call, he said sorry and hung up the phone.

Then he opened the door and walked out of the conference room with little Nezha...

——

PS: Little Nezha rode on his director’s mount and waved: Please give me a monthly pass! ! !
