The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 102 Undercover on the rooftop (asking for monthly ticket)

Fei Zhiyuan had previously thought of placing an undercover agent in the Dream Building Game.

Finally, considering that there were not many reliable people and there seemed no need to plant undercover agents at that time, he just bribed two Dream Builder employees to get information.

But after Dream Building took off, the two of them were no longer willing to pay attention to him.

Unfortunately, the speed at which "Frost and Snow Project" took off was too exaggerated. It not only threatened the new game "Mirror World Story", but even suppressed the mainstay of Konjac Games' revenue - "Divine Bird".

"Mirror World Story" is no longer just an attempt to add icing on the cake, but a key project to surpass "Bird of Legends" and "Frost and Snow Project" and regain its position in the industry.

The importance has been greatly increased.

The importance of intelligence has also increased!
Therefore, the undercover plan was put on the agenda again.

Fortunately, DreamBuilder is eager to expand and is hiring people on a large scale.

In order to ensure success, the undercover agents sent by Fei Zhiyuan are also elites with extraordinary abilities.

In the end, without much effort, undercover Chen Peng successfully passed the interview and joined Dream Building.

Then I kept waiting, until now, when I arrived at my new office.

When Chen Peng received the notice "Because of your outstanding personal abilities, the boss is optimistic about you and you can also attend this important meeting", he was very excited and thought he was about to get important intelligence.

——Fei Zhiyuan promised that every time he had important information about the "Frost and Snow Plan", he would be given a generous bonus.

but now……

Chen Peng sat in the crowded conference room, feeling completely dazed.

Is the new project of Dream Building considered important information?

If it’s the second game, then it definitely counts!
But a one-time purchase game...

There is no direct conflict with Konjac Games - no, to be more precise, there is no direct conflict with all our friendly second-game companies.

This is probably not important information.

But the problem is...

He is already in this project team, and it is not easy to transfer to "Frost and Snow Project".

And looking at the passionate expressions of these people, they might work overtime until they vomit...

Chen Peng has already begun to think about quitting.

But I had no choice but to sit in the conference room and watch a group of people discussing a new game. Their voices were getting louder and louder, and their tones were getting more and more excited.

The content of the conversation gradually became outrageous to Chen Peng.

"If you can throw grenades, can you also throw the guns in your hands, the magazines, and the rocks on the road?"

"Since we want to pursue realism, can we climb trees? FPS players often don't look up when playing games. I think we can help them change this habit."

"In that case, why not add some climbing props? Don't just climb trees, climb buildings too!"

"If you say that, then when tanks and troop carriers pass by, can we just climb on top?"

"Teammate damage is possible, right? The battlefield is so chaotic, it's reasonable to accidentally kill one or two teammates!"

"Should we add the weight and hunger value? It's unreasonable that a person carrying heavy weapons and a person with light weapons run at the same speed, right?"

"If you say so, then do you still need to poop after eating?"

"Poop! How hard is it to add a poop function?"

"What a good idea! It can also be used as a game! If you poop in the trenches, it will cause negative effects such as lower morale and more illness. If you want to poop outside, you will be more likely to be killed by the enemy!"

"Then can I pick up shit from the ground and throw it at the enemy's face?"

"Who the hell would do something so disgusting?"

"I can!" Several people raised their hands at the same time and admitted loudly without any shame.

Chen Peng, who had been observing calmly, even saw Xu Meng secretly raise his hand.

"Should we add seasonal factors? And weather factors? Especially rain, snow and fog."

"There seems to be no competitive game on the market where weather factors significantly affect the game."

"It would be better if it affects more than just the player's speed and field of view. Shouldn't we also include details like vehicle slippage, airdrop deflection, and cannon fire?"

"In that case, do we need to take into account the probability of gun jams and artillery shell duds in wet weather?"

"Wait a moment! I'm already having stomach and liver pains."

Xu Meng couldn't help but guide loudly: "Pursue truth, not disgust! Don't just focus on the details that disgust the players! Think about other things!"

“Then invest more budget in sound effects! If the sound effects are good enough, it will significantly improve the immersion!”

"Yes, it's better to use real stuff! Pull out the tanks and cannons from World War II to record the sound effects!"

“Being realistic isn’t enough, it’s better to be a little exaggerated and blend it with music!”

“We have to find the best composer!”

……

The atmosphere in the conference room gradually became more intense.

Chen Peng was fidgeting. He felt that if he didn't say something outrageous, it would be difficult to fit in with the atmosphere, so he shouted in order to fit in: "Find a military expert as a consultant, preferably one who fought in World War II!"

In his opinion, this was an outrageous suggestion.

After all, World War II happened more than half a century ago.

The veterans who participated in World War II were now very old and were enjoying their retirement.

It is not realistic to ask them to come out as consultants.

But as soon as he said this, Xu Meng in the crowd suddenly paused, turned his head instantly and locked his eyes on him!

Chen Peng saw obvious surprise in his eyes.

Then Xu Meng gave him a thumbs up, with approval on her face!

Chen Peng blinked, feeling a strong sense of unease in his heart.

But Xu Meng retracted his gaze the next moment and continued to join the passionate discussion of other employees.

This gave him a small sigh of relief.

After that, Chen Peng didn't dare to shout anymore. He just sat there obediently and waited for the meeting to end.

After the meeting, Xu Meng once again released a piece of news that was beyond everyone's expectations:

Before the project was officially launched, DreamZhu organized a team of 20 people to do preliminary work.

A mini demo of Lord of War has already been made.

It has little to do with the game itself and is mainly used for simulator testing in a few days. It can also support the most basic gameplay.

"After you go back, you can find it in the DreamWorks office software. You can try it out first and give us your opinions."

"In the next meeting, we will discuss refining this rough demo for next month's Cologne Games Show."

"Well, today's meeting will end here. Everyone should go get familiar with their workstations and colleagues."

……

The meeting is over.

But many people were reluctant to leave and were still enthusiastically chatting about various topics.

Several big guys including Chen Junyi, Zu Rongyao, Li Xingyun, etc., also gathered around Xu Meng and chatted about something.

Chen Peng couldn't wait any longer and left the meeting room in a hurry.

He first wanted to run to the bathroom to make a phone call, but was afraid that someone might accidentally overhear him, so he took some effort to run to the rooftop of the office building.

——He was surprised to find that the door to the rooftop was not locked.

As far as he knows, after a number of people jumped off buildings at major Internet companies, including gaming companies, in the past two years, many companies’ rooftops have been locked and employees are not allowed to go up at all.

The rooftop of Konjac Game's headquarters building is locked with thick iron chains.

After closing the door and running a little further away, Chen Peng hurriedly called Fei Zhiyuan.

"Hello?" Fei Zhiyuan's unhurried voice sounded on the other end of the phone, "What's the matter?"

"Boss, something is wrong!" Chen Peng was anxious.

"Wrong? What's wrong?" Fei Zhiyuan didn't understand.

"Today, the boss of Dream Building held a meeting in the new office building. He invited many people and I was also called over."

"Isn't this a good thing? Did you say anything important?"

"Yes, it's a very important event!" Chen Peng said solemnly, "Zhumeng is going to start a new project, and the investment is very large! We have also recruited many great people to join us!"

"A new project? So soon? Project Frost just became popular, and they're planning to make a second one?"

Fei Zhiyuan immediately became extremely nervous.

Just as he was about to ask further questions, Chen Peng suddenly raised his voice and interrupted him:
"Who's there?!"

He stared straight at the entrance to the rooftop.

Although the door did not move at all, Chen Peng felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

Fei Zhiyuan on the other end of the phone immediately quieted down to avoid causing trouble for his own undercover agent.

But after he almost held his breath and remained quiet for a while, there was still no response from Chen Peng.

Fei Zhiyuan blinked, came back to his senses from the tension, and said the key words:

"Thank you for your hard work. You will get no less bonus."

Chen Peng immediately responded: "Boss, what are you talking about? This is what I should do! But I've been doing this job for a long time, and I'm always nervous. I'm a little suspicious. Sorry, sorry."

He apologized briefly, quickly moved on from the incident, and gave the key information:

"We're not going to make a second game, we're going to make a one-time purchase game!"

"Buyout system?"

Fei Zhiyuan's brain short-circuited for a moment.

　Last day for double bonus, please give me your monthly ticket!
