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

"Speak quickly." Everyone couldn't wait.

Shao Peng analyzed with a serious expression:

"Think about it carefully, why would CEO Lu say such a thing while making instant noodles?

That's because instant noodles, in many people's eyes, are the most inconspicuous and cheap ingredients. But as long as you use gorgeous and high-end ingredients, the taste of instant noodles can be made extraordinary.

But those seasonings didn't overshadow the main ingredient; the instant noodles are still instant noodles.

This shows that when we develop games, we must be like making instant noodles. We must not be blinded by various gorgeous and dazzling ingredients, but we must grasp the original intention—what is the staple food of our game?"

Guided by Shao Peng, Mo Xiaoxuan recalled his original intention when planning this game:

"To use trash talk and freely say whatever you want in any corner of the city?"

Shao Peng nodded: "Yes, 'city life where you can say whatever you want' is the core experience of our game, which is the noodle cake of instant noodles. Other fancy things like jet buses, trendy brand stores, fashion shows, and trash talk arena towers are just icing on the cake."

Sun Rou echoed: "So, we should just go ahead and build the game scene based on the most realistic city block—Phantom Fashion Street—and then build a relatively complete experience route inside."

Yao Jun nodded approvingly: "Sun Rou's idea is right. Our game has many blocks, so let's first create a demo of one block and then expand the design based on this block."

Everyone discussed, and their thoughts quickly became clear.

Zhang Fan exclaimed: "CEO Lu is indeed amazing. He not only provided us with inspiration through strolling around but even anticipated the difficulties we would encounter in the game development process and gave us hints through trivial matters in life."

Everyone nodded in excitement, and CEO Lu's image became increasingly lofty in their eyes.

Worthy of being an old layered cake, his reputation is well-deserved!

Copywriter Hao Shuwen said: "I'll first try to write a task line in this scene demo. What kind of main storyline do you guys like?"

Xie Ying, the UI artist who rarely speaks, said delicately:

"Think about it, since this world has super-energy substances like spirit particles, then there might be people who want to use spirit particles to do bad things, such as mind or public opinion manipulation. In that case, there must be a villain, preferably a large technology company that exploits innocent citizens with spirit particles."

Many people in the project were former interns at Frostwolf Studio.

When it came to the word "exploitation," they were all too familiar with it. It could be said that they had been exploited by Youyi Company in terms of time, youth, and even health.

So, someone muttered:

"In that case, why not just use Youyi Company as the prototype for the villain?"

But everyone quickly dispelled the idea, because the daughter of the Liu Group was still in the conference room.

Unexpectedly, Liu Mengyuan's eyes suddenly lit up. Wasn't this a good opportunity to issue a declaration of independence to her mother!

She nodded and said:

"Your idea is good. Just use Youyi Company as the prototype for the villain, and the big villain BOSS should be called 'Liu Lan'."

Everyone was instantly shocked!

Goodness, Miss Liu, you are a rich heiress and can do whatever you want, but our small Peach Garden Company can't withstand the bombardment of the Liu Group's legal team.

Hao Shuwen rubbed his eyebrows and said, "CEO Liu, to avoid suspicion, how about naming the villain BOSS 'Liu Xia Fifty-Arashi'?"

"Um... that's fine too," she nodded reluctantly.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. This small game company was finally saved.

After that, Hao Shuwen began to tap on the keyboard of his laptop and shared his design ideas with everyone:

The fictional city of New Alphaka was accidentally filled with spirit particles due to the landing of a mysterious extraterrestrial meteorite.

Businesswoman 'Liu Xia Fifty-Arashi' leads her family's 'Shenyi Company' and monopolizes many businesses related to spirit particles in the New Alphaka market, such as—

Spirit Potion Manufacturing: The company produces various spirit potions that can improve citizens' trash-talking abilities, but they have potential side effects after use.

Spirit Energy Development: The company provides energy storage, compression, and trading services for spirit particles, and various jet-powered vehicles are the company's masterpieces.

Spirit Research Laboratory: The company has multiple research laboratories dedicated to developing new spirit technologies and applications to benefit mankind.

Igarashi, the chairman of Shenyi Company, has repeatedly stated in public that spirit particles will lead mankind to achieve the evolution of civilization.

Of course, these superficially legal civilian businesses are just Shenyi Company's disguise.

Shenyi Company is secretly engaged in unknown evil deeds:

They use spirit particle technology to manipulate human thoughts and emotions to turn citizens into puppets who obey the company.

They use the built spirit particle network to extract and deprive people of their positive emotions and life energy.

After their power is completely established, they directly control the city's citizens and use threats to put pressure on the city's senior managers, thereby indirectly gaining control of the city.

All of this is to satisfy Igarashi's ambition for power expansion and wealth accumulation.

……

After typing out the setting draft, Hao Shuwen looked at Liu Mengyuan cautiously:

"CEO Liu, do you think this is appropriate?"

Liu Mengyuan nodded excitedly: "Appropriate, appropriate, more than appropriate."

What else could the others say? As long as the boss's wife is happy.

Soon, through heated discussions, everyone initially determined the preliminary concepts, story background settings, game mechanism design, story process planning, game menus, etc., for this Phantom Street demo.

Moreover, during the specific design process, they were pleasantly surprised to find that the various street-bum experiences they had learned while shopping could be so perfectly used in game planning.

If CEO Lu hadn't taken them to be street bums for a while, they wouldn't have been able to write such a down-to-earth city design proposal.

Yao Jun couldn't help but sigh:

"Before, when I heard you guys say that our CEO Lu is an old layered cake, I didn't have much of a concept, but now I see that he is indeed worthy of the name.

Zhang Fan also sighed:

"Indeed, from the initial project establishment to every subsequent design step, CEO Lu, although he didn't directly participate, was constantly giving us hints in various ways.

In Peach Garden, we are not miserable working people whose creativity is squeezed dry and then abandoned. CEO Lu truly treats us as partners."

The corners of everyone's eyes were slightly moist.

The newest novels are first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

With such good benefits and a boss who cares so much about the growth of employees, where can you find such a fairy company?

At this time, Lu Yu, who was sweating profusely in the gym on the second floor, suddenly had a light curtain pop up in front of him:

[13 employees are happy and grateful for your guidance and help, producing resonance and connection, Leisure Points +18]

Lu Yu stopped the treadmill, wiped his sweat with a towel, and looked around the empty gym.

He was confused and dumbfounded.

Damn it? What the hell did I do again?

……

The ten members of the Trash Talk Life project team continued to develop according to the design plan finalized at the meeting until Thursday.

They even felt a little unsatisfied. The sense of accomplishment of watching the virtual world they built gradually take shape was simply unparalleled.

Unfortunately, tomorrow is Friday and a holiday, and CEO Lu is determined not to allow overtime, so they can only come back next Monday to continue working hard.

Zhang Fan rubbed his fists at this time and said:

"Anyway, I have an alien notebook. How about I take the design proposal I have on hand home to work on Friday?

Of course, this is voluntary on my part. Don't imitate me, after all, the company's rules are here. I'm just doing it for fun."

Yao Jun smiled and said: "I'll also work on it at home on Friday. I'm bored anyway."

Sun Rou also nodded and said:

"The saying 'doing it for fun' is well used. Before in Youyi Company, I worked overtime 007 every day, which made me want to vomit whenever I saw any game after get off work. I just wanted to wash up and sleep.

Until I came to Peach Garden, I realized that developing games itself can also make people happy from the bottom of their hearts."

Shao Peng couldn't agree more:

"Indeed, now I think that the company's facilities and conditions are so good, and it also takes care of three meals a day and hot springs. It's simply like a home, and the broken house I rent is purely a doghouse. Now, every day I open my eyes, the thing I look forward to most is going to work. I don't want to go back and stay there at all."

Sister Xie Ying said softly:

"And the company's atmosphere is so good. Everyone is like friends. Everyone here is talented and speaks so nicely. I really like staying here."

In this way, many members of the Trash Talk team chose to voluntarily stay at home on Friday to develop the game, and the Phantom Street demo gradually took shape.

……

Next Monday.

Lu Yu sat at his workstation, flipping through the system light curtain with a complicated mood.

The statistical trend chart of Leisure Points showed that since last Friday, the point income has shown a slight downward trend.

What the hell is going on?
