Chapter 309 Black Myth: Wukong
".Now you finally have the conditions to do something big, have you thought about what to do next?"

“I want to make a game of AAA quality in China!”

"What's the subject matter?"

"Journey to the West, Wukong!"

“Why choose this?”

"In the hearts of the Chinese people, he will always be the Monkey King who caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace!
But in the eyes of foreigners, Goku is the Super Saiyan who shouts "Ha-mei-ha-mei-ha" with his hands waving, transforms every time the moon is full, and his hair turns yellow. "

"And because the God of War was constrained by various rules and regulations, and ultimately failed, his unwillingness to succeed was similar to that of the Great Sage?"

"Well, this is also a plot that I can't get over!"

"This journey is bound to be bumpy and full of hardships."

"Then we will level the bumps and make a road, fight through the difficulties and set off again!"

"Well said! Then I wish you a smooth journey to obtain the scriptures. If you see any monsters, fight them or kill them. Don't worry about any background. The other side will be your greatest supporter!"

The above is a conversation between Chen Mo and Feng Ji before they parted.
A few days ago, Quantum Studio, Tencent Headquarters, Shenzhen.

"Are you really planning to quit? Don't think about it anymore." Yang Qi asked Feng Ji.

"It would be painful to stay here any longer. It's better to be out of sight and out of mind than to be powerless. I want to take a break for a while. What about you?"

Yang Qi laughed so hard that he almost cried. "Brother Wen Yong has been transferred to another position, and you are leaving too. I have discussed with the village chief and plan to leave once I find a new job. It doesn't matter if I stay in Department B. Mr. Ka, if you find a new job, please let us know and we will come to join you."

Feng Ji smiled bitterly, "Why, haven't you learned enough of your lesson yet?"

"Fighting God, it's not my fault, but we think it's more reliable and exciting to work with you!"

"Okay, then it's a deal. I'll tell you when the time comes." The two of them high-fived in pledge.

Ever since the sudden thunderbolt struck the Douzhanshen project team three months ago, he, the game planner, has become a decoration and a tool for capital to reap players' money.

Why did you want to create a 3A-level online game? Why did you want to develop an authentic Journey to the West?
Now it seems that all the hard work over the years has resulted in nothing but a joke.

They can only watch helplessly as their children, who have grown up little by little, gradually become bad, and even help the evil. It would be better for them to part ways with each other than to let this happen.

This is also the reason why Feng Ji was determined to resign despite his leader's repeated attempts to retain him.

As for the rest, it was just an excuse. He actually wanted to calm down for a while, reflect on his previous experience in Fighting God of War, and then plan to start a business.

After working for a few years, I have saved up hundreds of thousands of dollars. Now that mobile games in China are booming, Bi'an has gathered a group of people and started with mobile games to create a project that can make money.

Then when I had money, I continued to work on Journey to the West!
In fact, in the early days of Douzhanshen, he wanted to make a stand-alone game, but unfortunately after communicating with the company, he compromised and turned it into an online game.

As for compromise, just like domestic violence, there are only 0 times and countless times.

This is how the God of War looks like now.

Since capital is unreliable, then I have the final say in this game!
On the other side, after arriving at the hotel near the Shenzhen Bi'an base, Chen Mo did not take action right away, but first looked at the information sorted out by his subordinates. After all, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you succeed in every digging!
Feng Ji (core): Because of his online name yocar (尤卡), he is also known as Mr. Ka. He graduated from Huazhong University of Science and Technology with a degree in biomedical engineering. In May 2004, when he encountered the public beta of "World of Warcraft" under Blizzard Games, he decisively gave up the postgraduate entrance examination. Later, he was addicted to the game and spent a long time in Internet cafes. He even spent all the money he had intended for the postgraduate entrance examination and was so poor that he had to borrow money from his classmates to live. (Wow, he is actually a Sanhe god).

Later, in order to make a living, Feng Ji joined a game company as a game planner. In 08, he joined Tencent and is currently the chief planner of the PC online game "Douluo Dalu" project.

Yang Qi: Studied at the Oil Painting Department of the China Academy of Fine Arts, lived in Hangzhou for a long time, worked at Hangzhou Tianchang Technology, participated in the development of 3D online games, and served as the original character and scene designer.

He graduated in June 07 and formed a team in the same year. He co-founded Shanghai Aosheng Technology Yunzhou Studio with colleagues from his original department and tried the independent development of large-scale client games.

In September 08, he joined Tencent Games and devoted himself to the development of "Douluo Dalu", serving as the chief concept designer. His highly constructive art style also won strong market response and wide acclaim from players.

Zhao Wenyong: Graduated from the Software Engineering Department of Sun Yat-sen University, he interned at Tencent in 09. After graduation, he joined the Douzhanshen project team where Feng Ji was. Now he is the lead programmer of the Douzhanshen project team. According to internal sources, his technical capabilities are very comprehensive, including programming, architecture, page design, and even participating in planning discussions, etc., which can be called hexagonal technology.

Jiang Baicun: "Village Chief" is Jiang Baicun's stage name in the team. He studied "Information Science" - Information Management and Information Systems in college. After graduation, he joined Tencent through campus recruitment and began his career as a game planner. He has a special liking for monster planning.

There was information about some other people at the end, and Chen Mo spent nearly an hour reading it all.

Finally, Chen Mo put a check mark next to the name Feng Ji at the beginning.

To solve a problem, one must learn to grasp the key points, and this person is the focus of this trip. As long as Feng Ji is dealt with, it is equivalent to dealing with an entire project team.

Just like the previous negotiations with Baidu, Chen Mo was thinking about the rhetoric and strategy.

At around 10 o'clock the next evening, Feng Ji and a dozen of his colleagues had their last farewell dinner in a restaurant near the Tencent building. During the meal, everyone drank to drown their sorrows, scolded their leaders for being unable to cope with the crisis, scolded the capital for being short-sighted, and scolded themselves for not holding their ground.

Several people cried afterward.
As the eldest brother, Feng Ji was comforted. Although he drank a lot, he was still conscious.

The party will eventually end, sooner or later.

After Feng Ji sent everyone to the car, he walked out to the intersection, enjoying the evening breeze and looking at the bright lights and people coming and going around him. However, he stood at the intersection like a lost child.

He took off his glasses and wiped off the water vapor that was accidentally splashed on them. Unexpectedly, he still fell in love with them in the end.

Just then he heard a voice coming from the side, "Hello, is this Feng Ji? I see you..."

So annoying!
Feng Ji was obviously annoyed when he heard this familiar opening line. "Don't be so weird. I said you guys on the other side can't change your words? I've already said that I'm not interested in going to the other side now."

In the past, he was often harassed by Bi'an's team on his way to and from get off work. Normally, he could still politely refuse them, but now it was late at night. Although he admired Bi'an's professionalism, it was obviously not the right time.

"Excuse me, let me introduce myself to you, Chen Mo from the other side!"

"Even if you bring up your boss, it won't work." Feng Ji realized something was wrong, so he quickly put on his glasses and focused on the guy next to him who was a few points more handsome than him. "Hello, Mr. Chen!"

He actually met the head of Bian'an Technology at the intersection of Tencent's headquarters in Shenzhen. How could he have deserved this? This magical scene made Feng Ji's brain freeze for a moment.

Feng Ji then reacted and quickly looked around the surroundings, then dragged Chen Mo to a shady place, just like meeting with an underground party member, "Mr. Chen, why are you here? This is too dangerous. Aren't you afraid?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the brightly lit top floor of Tencent's headquarters building, and his meaning was self-evident.

Bi'an is stationed on the opposite side every day like a sticky candy, and you can't get rid of him even if you sue him. You know, if their boss knows that Chen Mo is here, he will really arrest him.

Chen Mo put on his mask and sunglasses again. He was touched and amused by the other party's behavior. "Boss Ma and I don't have any irreconcilable hatred. It's not that serious. Let's find a place to have tea and chat."

You are not wearing a mask and sunglasses, who are you trying to fool? Feng Ji secretly complained, but he still agreed to the other party's invitation.
"okay!"

Chen Mo raised his left hand and waved, and then a black Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle drove up from the side of the road, and the two men got in and left.

Half an hour later, we found a private room in a teahouse.

After the young lady in cheongsam made the tea, Chen Mo waved his hand and left sensibly.

Chen Mo directly stated his intentions and got straight to the point.
"I have heard about what happened to the Dou Zhan Shen project team. If I say that the Other Side will set up a studio, you will be the person in charge, and you will have enough R&D funds and full say. The group will not be involved, and there will be no time limit or various assessments,"

Feng Ji took a sip of sobering tea and said nothing. After all, he had heard this familiar rhetoric at Tencent.

Chen Mo looked at the other person's expression and understood. "Then how about this? You set up a game company on your own. I will invest the money in my personal name, 1 million RMB upfront, and I will invest more if it's not enough. As for the rights, I will not hold the controlling stake, I will just invest, and you will have full autonomy. How about this? Is that sincere enough?"

Feng Ji looked calm on the surface, but the hand holding the teacup couldn't help shaking slightly.

This is not some charlatan, this is Chen Mo from the other side. A man's reputation is like the shadow of a tree. He just sold more than 10 billion yuan two days ago. A few hundred million yuan is really a drizzle to Chen Mo.

To be honest, Chen Mo's proposal was exactly what he wanted to do but did not have the conditions to do. Moreover, he started a business in mobile games to make money, but he was not sure whether the money was so easy to make.

Agreeing to it means taking a few years less detours and getting it done in one step. To be honest, he is really tempted.
Perhaps the alcohol makes it easy for people to make impulsive choices. Feng Ji drank the tea in the cup, forced himself to calm down, and asked,

“After investing, will you interfere with product decisions and the company’s daily operations?”

"will not!"

"After it's done, will you or the other side jump out to grab the fruits of victory?"

Chen Mo laughed, "We are not penguins~"

"We may develop stand-alone games next. As you know, stand-alone piracy is rampant in China. This is bound to be a losing business!"

"It's okay. Just focus on making the game. Everyone will share the profits, and I'll pay for the losses. It's not like I can't afford to play." Chen Mo's answer was very cool. In Feng Ji's eyes, it was full of personal charm. A boss is a boss!

"Mr. Chen, why don't you do something else? I can't feel at ease with you like this~"

Ah? I don't need this little money, I just want to make some contribution to domestic 3A, why doesn't anyone believe it?

In this case, "Well, before the game is released, how about Bi'an Games investing a symbolic amount of money and adding the Bi'an Games logo to the back?"

Hearing this, Feng Ji felt more at ease. "Okay, uh, my mind is a little unclear now. What happened in the past hour was like a dream. I need to go back and think about it."

"Well, don't worry. I'll ask the driver to take you home. Think about it carefully. We'll stay here again tomorrow night. I'll wait for your reply!"

The next night, same place, same but different people.

It is said that it is because of the presence of Chen Mo and Feng Ji, but there are three more people, Yang Qi, Zhao Wenyong and Jiang Baicun.

This time Chen Mo answered various questions raised by the four of them.

"I can write down what I just said and promised before into the agreement. Now you should be able to rest assured!"

The four young men opposite were very excited.

"Have you thought of a name for the new company?"

Yang Qi spoke first and said, "Game Science!" It was obvious that they had already discussed it.

Chen Mo asked the question that concerned him the most, "So do you think the theme of a game is more important, or the mechanism and gameplay?"

Feng Ji did not hesitate at all. "First of all, it has to be fun. Only when the game itself is fun can we talk about everything else!"

Then there was the conversation at the beginning.

Finally, Chen Mo personally sent the four young men out the door and watched them walk away, arm in arm, happily chatting about games and the future.

Under the starlight, Chen Mo looked at the receding backs of Feng Ji and the others, as if the four masters and apprentices had embarked on the journey westward again.

When Chen Mo was thinking about signing the agreement, a conversation between the two of them occurred to him.
"Now I ask you, what are you trying to do?"

"I just want to spend the rest of my life making a AAA quality game that is completely our own. Maybe it will be realized today, several years later?"

"Have you thought of a name for the game?"

"It's called Black Myth"
