You said you would make games by yourself, but how did you become the richest man by doing nothing?

After the meeting, the verbal sparring team continued to work overtime.

And Liu Mengyuan, as the art director, was pleasantly surprised to find that all kinds of skills she had picked up while enjoying life before,

such as gourmet food tasting and fashion appreciation, could be used in the design of New Alpha City.

Because the game 'Verbal Sparring Life' is inherently closely related to modern urban life.

And after Liu Mengyuan used her various guaranteed skills and talents, the game's art style once again showed visible evolution.

This was truly an unexpected surprise!

Liu Mengyuan suddenly had a jolt of inspiration.

No, thinking about it carefully, whatever Lu Yu took me to enjoy always seemed to perfectly complement the game.

It's impossible for things to be such a coincidence. Lu Yu must have considered this when the game was first conceptualized, and then encouraged me to develop these skills.

I used to think he was always taking me out to eat, drink, and have fun, neglecting his work. But it turns out this man was constantly guiding me through life, helping me improve.

Liu Mengyuan covered her cherry lips, her beautiful eyes shimmering with tears.

He really is, I'm so touched!

[Employee Liu Mengyuan feels sweet and happy about your guidance, her mood is joyful, triggering a critical hit, Leisure Points +10]

Lu Yu, who had just finished soaking in the hot spring and was wiping his body, was startled again.

No, not again?

To make sure you guys don't feel pressured, I've completely stopped interfering with the development.

How did I guide you?

Lu Yu was dumbfounded, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Well, whatever, it's still great to keep earning points.

Maybe these guys are just touched by the random inspirational quotes I found online.

As long as they give up their self-inflicted internal competition and focus on eating, drinking, and having fun, it's all good.

The downward trend of points on the verbal sparring team finally stopped. Lu Yu checked the points of other teams, and the smile on his face froze again.

Because he saw that the 20 employees on the Peach Blossom Dream team were experiencing a straight-line decline in Leisure Points.

Good heavens, did you all get carried away after the EASTJOY exhibition? You're backstabbing me with points one after another!

Without saying a word, Lu Yu picked up his phone, called a taxi, and headed to Peach Blossom Dream.

...

At the same time.

The conference room on the third floor of Peach Blossom Dream was filled with a tense atmosphere.

Gong Qijun and other employees were looking at a new post from a self-media account called "Dimensional Observation Room" with grim faces.

This UP host has more than 3 million fans.

In this video, the UP host, wearing a Kamen Rider mask, stood in front of the camera.

"Hello everyone, this is your old friend, Xiao Guan.

Recently, the animation industry has been cheering for the emergence of 'Cat Paradise Adventure'. To this end, I, as an animation enthusiast, interviewed many industry leaders. Let's listen to their opinions."

The screen switched to the interview segment.

Someone who identified himself as the art director of an animation company spoke first:

"I think the background details of the Cat Paradise animation can't stand scrutiny. In the promotional video, you can clearly feel the emptiness of the screen and the lack of layers."

Another character artist from an animation company added:

"From the promotional video, the interaction between the characters seems a bit superficial, and the emotional expression is not rich enough. It's difficult for the audience to empathize."

The third interviewee was a fashion designer, who smiled and said:

"I think the clothing design of many catgirls is too pandering and lacks logic. Have you ever seen a catgirl wear such fancy clothes to go to war? I'm afraid they'll be defeated in a flash..."

When the video was broadcast here, the barrage laughed, and many people were commenting "I advise you not to interfere."

In the second half of the video, the host continued to smile and said: "After reading these experts' comments, I instantly woke up. So, is this promotional video just drawing a big cake?

Let's further investigate the predecessor of Peach Blossom Dream—Black Horse Animation...

Black Horse Animation has won the following bad awards:

[Animation Golden Raspberry Award: Annual Worst Animation Award Gold Award.]

[Annual Brain Platinum Award: The most brainless and least in-depth animation production.]

[Golden Broom Award: Annual Worst Animation Technology.]

Moreover, as a subcontractor, Black Horse Animation's reputation among Party A was also very bad.

Can such a group of weirdos with no past achievements really carry the hope of the rise of domestic animation?

I think this needs a big question mark.

On the contrary, the Dog Paradise Adventure, blessed by genuine Japanese masters, may be the most suitable animation for us at the moment.

I understand everyone's excitement when they see domestic animation breaking through, but we must learn to think independently with our brains and not follow the crowd blindly..."

This video caused a new storm of public opinion, and netizens began to argue in various post bars, animation forums, and D station comment areas:

"Domestic animation is indeed a bit rubbish, don't blindly favor it, Japanese anime is the orthodox anime!"

"After watching this video, the UP host must have received money from Tenghui, he really doesn't understand the industry. Anyone who isn't blind knows how high the level of that promotional animation is."

"This UP host's Yan state map is also a bit short, in fact, I heard gossip from an insider at Tenghui that Dog Paradise is also going to be animated, and they will probably find a Japanese outsourcing team to do it."

...

Gong Qijun saw that among the joint contributors of the video, there was a person named Thomas.

He was directly stunned,

Isn't this Thomas a golden editor in the game field? Why is he so nosy, even meddling in the animation field?

At this time, Thomas, far away in Shenzhen City, looked at the rhythm of the screen full of comments and smiled quite proudly.

He shook the glass in his hand with satisfaction, his eyebrows almost raised to the sky.

Peach Blossom Village, didn't expect that.

Our Zhongyuan Five Editors' network can extend to other fields!

Now I am working with two million-fan UP masters to present a two-sided cheese sandwich to your company. I want to see how you can struggle?

You want to get away with offending the Zhongyuan Five Editors multiple times? Impossible.

...

An hour later, Lu Yu took a taxi to Peach Blossom Dream.

Seeing that President Lu came to inquire about the project in person, Gong Qijun did not dare to neglect it, and quickly led him to browse the studio while introducing the recent work progress.

"President Lu, after all, our project is an adaptation of an existing game, so we can directly skip the concept establishment stage in the early stage.

Currently, the scene original paintings are being designed and finalized according to the game's art style.

The screenwriter is formulating the animation's storyboard based on the game's original script, and planning the storyboard for each episode.

On the other hand, the color artists are determining the coloring scheme for various characters, including color matching and lighting effects. This time, we want to overcome technical difficulties and make the animation's battle performance more dazzling..."

Lu Yu nodded while listening, and casually smiled:

"I think the project is progressing well, why do you look so listless?"

Gong Qijun smiled, embarrassed to answer this question.

To be honest, the Dimensional Observation Room video on D station was indeed a bit of a killer.

Gong Qijun didn't expect that the other party could find out their black history of winning bad awards in the past and publicly execute them.

In addition, the team has spent so many years being denied and ridiculed, and finally there is a sign of success, everyone is also a little unconfident because of the online comments, afraid that they will not be able to grasp it.

Usually when they are down and out, everyone dares to challenge anything, but when they are about to live a good life, they start to worry about gains and losses.

People are so subtle...

But such a trivial matter is not worth telling President Lu.

Wouldn't it be a joke to President Lu if you said it...

...

Lu Yu saw that Gong Qijun was ashamed to speak, so he did not continue to ask.

"Have you spent that 1 million budget?" Lu Yu changed the topic.

"There's still a small part left."

Gong Qijun didn't dare to spend the 1 million that Lu Yu gave him before, and bought a lot of painting textbooks and professional animation photography equipment for the studio.

"I'll allocate another 1 million budget to you.

After all, if the head office lacks something, I'll let Li Hongmei buy it, but you may not be able to take care of it in time.

So, buy whatever you like to eat and play, you can figure it out yourselves."

Gong Qijun was stunned.

President Lu's tone was very similar to that of an elder who desperately stuffed pocket money into his pockets when he was a child.

He gives pocket money at every turn, where can you find such a conscientious boss?

His throat choked up and said: "President Lu, how can I be embarrassed..."

"What's so embarrassing, the corporate culture of Peach Blossom Village is leisure! Take the employees out to enjoy good food and drinks when you have time, don't work hard in the company all day, you know?"

There are so many people in the company now, Lu Yu really doesn't have the energy to study the reasons why everyone's Leisure Points are declining.

So, he directly adopted a simple and rude method, blindly throwing money, and blindly giving benefits!

"If the project needs any support from the head office, tell me at any time."

Hearing this, Gong Qijun hesitated slightly and said:

"President Lu, we do have a small problem here, which is about the catgirl's stockings.

Currently, the technical problems regarding the material of the stockings have been solved, but we can't adjust the gloss with our own technology, so please provide technical support from the head office."

"It doesn't matter, leave it to me."

...

Next Monday, Lu Yu called Mo Xiaoxuan to the conference room.

It had been a long time since President Lu had talked to him alone, and he felt a little uneasy and nervous.

"Xiaoxuan, Gong Qijun is having some technical problems, and he can't figure out the gloss of the catgirl's stockings. Think of a way to support him."

Mo Xiaoxuan was dumbfounded.

The catgirl's stockings have a problem, how is he going to support them...
