You said you were going to make games, how did you become the richest man without doing anything?

Chapter 273: About Being Raised into a Waste by Mr. Lu (2 in 1 Order)

"what happened?"

It has been five years since his second son married the eldest daughter of the Huang family, and Pei Shengnan has never seen his in-law so excited.

Huang Shiyi told Pei Shengnan all the grievances his little daughter had suffered.

"Liu Mengyuan? Is that Liu Lan and Pei Yu's daughter?"

Thinking of this cousin in the family, Pei Shengnan couldn't help but feel nervous.

Both the Pei and Liu families were business families that started out in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China.
For more than a century, the two companies have been in direct competition in many fields and have been at odds with each other in business for many years. During the Republic of China era, they were even so incompatible that a murder occurred.

So, at first, the elders in the family did not agree with the marriage between Liu Lan and Pei Yu.
But Pei Yu was extremely persistent. He even voluntarily gave up the opportunity to become the family heir and share the wealth with his brothers, and ran to the Liu family to become a son-in-law.

However, the two families were originally among the most prominent families and were well-matched. If they could take this opportunity to put aside a century of grievances and barriers and join hands in business, it would be a good thing.

Unexpectedly, only about five years after Liu Mengyuan was born, Pei Yu disappeared completely, and his life or death was unknown. Neither of the two families knew where he had gone. After that, the two families were engaged in a war of words accusing each other, which continues to this day.

"With Liu Lan's personality, it's no wonder Pei Yu ran away from home. No one knows what happened during the five years they were married..."

Pei Shengnan sighed.

There were already some old scores to be settled with the Liu family, and since Huang Shiyi was his relative, he had to redeem himself.

He then said in a deep voice: "Brother Huang, don't worry. Your Huang family's affairs are my affairs. I will find an opportunity to teach Liu Lan a lesson."

After the other party hung up the phone with tears of gratitude, Pei Shengnan sat in a chair and pondered for a moment, then called his secretary in:

"Go investigate the recent developments of the Liu Group and see what areas they plan to expand into."

The reason why Pei Shengnan started investigating the Liu Group was naturally not out of impulse.

Business competition is about interests, not emotions.

For a long time, the Pei family and the Liu family have been wary of each other's size and deliberately avoided each other in the new blue ocean field.

However, in recent years, Longteng Group has also touched the ceiling of development, and the development of many fields has encountered bottlenecks.

If they want to develop further, they can only snatch the meat from the Liu Group.

But since ancient times, any challenge must have a legitimate reason, and he was happy to use the Huang Shiyi incident as an excuse to start a war.

Pei Shengnan looked at the skyscrapers outside the window, his eyes gradually becoming sharper.

Liu Lan, I want to see how many rounds your Liu Group can last.

……

It has been several days since the Tianzun Cup ended, but Lu Yu has not been able to relax.

Because the popularity of the game "Super Time Travel Moe Girl" continues to soar.

After the game was released, the number of downloads continued to climb, and it topped the download list and the hot play list on the Taoyuan Fantasy Game Platform.

At present, the game has accumulated 1500 million downloads, an average of 1200 million active users per day, and a maximum of 400 million simultaneous online users.

The mobile version of the game has also entered the iOS and Android app store rankings.

The game received rave reviews from players, and the game rating on the app store soared to a high of 95%.

On Weibo, Tieba, D Station, Zhihu, and NGA, this game has always been at the top of the discussion popularity list.

Because of the high degree of freedom of the open world setting, although the general direction of the main line is fixed, the process of players reaching the ending is varied, and there are countless strange and cute girls appearing in the middle.

Therefore, a large number of players share their cute girl screenshots, game experiences and equipment creation ideas, forming a huge community.

Moreover, at Tenghui's ME-GAME and Youyi Workshop, many cross-platform game editors would rather risk being banned by the platform than recommend this game.

After all, the traffic brought by the game is so attractive that no one is willing to give up this kind of traffic.

Even many editors who had previously written negative articles about Taoyuan Township have now turned their guns around and started accusing other games of not making progress.

After all, after entering the Pass, there will be great scholars to debate for me!
What shocked Lu Yu even more was that the game was not only popular in China, but also successfully entered the international market, attracting the attention of overseas players.

Many players went to the game comment section of Taoyuan Fantasy World and issued a cry for justice:
"We need English! Please!"

"private たちはゲームを日本语でプレイしたい、お愿いします!"

""

""

Lu Yu was stunned. Even the Middle Eastern brother came to support him.

It’s true that all LSPs in the world are one family!

On D Station and major novel platforms, there are also many super-burning fan-made MOD mashups, analysis videos and secondary novels.

Fan Shi, an UP host in the animation section, released a video titled "Super Time and Space Cute Girls: Those Hidden Memes and Easter Eggs in Games", which became the most popular video on the entire site.

On the Mango Bao light novel platform, a fan fiction titled "The Diary of the Blue and White Girl: Elsabel's Sister's Midnight Secret" has long been at the top of the monthly novel ticket list.

Thanks to the popularity on the entire network, many figurine companies have sent invitations for cooperation on customized figures, and the company's email address is almost overflowing.

……

However, the reason why Lu Yu has been busy these days is not because he wants to discuss these collaborations.

Now the company has professional operations and business personnel who can share these tasks with him.

The reason why he couldn't take a break was that he had to monitor the status of employees within the company at all times to prevent new large-scale point deduction incidents!
Since the opening of this Tianzun Cup, the employees of Taoyuan Township have been busy fixing bugs.

Maintaining and operating a game of this scale is no longer something that the current workforce can handle.

Therefore, even if Lu Yu tried his best to supervise everyone, prohibit overtime and internal competition, and continue to promote various benefits such as cat petting and afternoon tea,

The income trend of leisure points has begun to decline sharply!
Although, the project team members seemed quite excited because of the success of the game.

However, according to the system's law of diminishing marginal returns, the point benefits that employees gain from their work experience are all zero.

Therefore, for Lu Yu, the more energy employees put into work, the less energy they have to enjoy life, and these points that are not earned are a huge loss.

Lu Yu sighed while operating on the computer.

Soon, all employees in the company received a text message notification that 10 RMB had been deposited into their salary cards.

"??????"

Many employees have been bubbling in the employee group:
Chu Xiong: "Brother Lu, are you giving out your year-end bonus in advance? @Lu Yu"

Li Hongmei: "Isn't it an advance for everyone's salary for the next few months?"

Zhao Yuhang: "Mr. Lu, we're not in a hurry to use the money, so we don't need an advance."

Lu Yu:

"What are you talking about? This is not a year-end bonus, nor a salary, nor a year-end dividend.

Doesn't the Tianzun Cup champion have a 1000 million yuan prize? This is some temporary pocket money I'm giving everyone from that prize money."

More and more employees began to bubble up, making shocked expressions: (ΩДΩ)
Mr. Lu gave out temporary pocket money, and the starting amount was 100,000?

Zhang Fan: "But... Mr. Lu, if everyone gets 10, the bonus won't be enough for the whole company."

Lu Yu:

“It’s really not enough, so I used the company’s extra funds to make up 10 for everyone.

By the way, everyone doesn't have to go to work this afternoon, so take the 10 yuan and go shopping in the city and buy something you like."

Employees in the chat group were frantically scrolling through their messages:
"Okay! ヾ(▽)ノ"

"Mr. Lu is so domineering!"

"Boss Lu is awesome!"

"Mr. Lu is two meters eighty!"

"I will always be the most loyal defender of Taoyuan Township!"

"No more talking. I'm going to work in this company until I'm eighty."

[Taoyuan Township employees are happy because they received pocket money, generating critical hits and resonance, leisure points +1100]

He made a small profit of points, which finally made Lu Yu feel a little better after being stabbed in the back by the Kings of Rolls.

However, Lu Yu felt that the root of the problem had not been solved.

Since the establishment of Taoyuan Township, every project has deviated from his original intention of making mediocre products, and the finished products have become more successful and popular than the last.

What’s even more frightening is that these little kings have tasted the sweetness of making a hit product, and their fighting spirit is getting higher and higher.

The risk of triggering a large-scale internal circulation event in the company is increasing.

What exactly is the problem?

Lu Yu held his chin and thought, looking through the group chat records, and soon found a pattern.

For example, if no one in the group mentions whether a certain function should be optimized with extra effort, then no one will care.
But once someone starts talking about it, more and more people will join the discussion, and everyone will excitedly come up with all kinds of ideas to follow up, and this originally mediocre function will be made quite eye-catching.

Even if this feature requires extra work, everyone is happy to do it.

For example, if no one mentions the idea of ​​taking a laptop home on Thursday to do some extra work, then no one will think about it. But once an employee mentions it, it immediately acts like an alarm clock to remind others, and as a result, more and more people take their laptops home and add things to the game.

These phenomena made Lu Yu think of a word: catfish effect!
Or to put it another way, this has actually given rise to a disguised wolf culture.

"Haha, as expected, a traitor has appeared among the masses!"

Lu Yu sneered, opened his work email, and prepared to design a new anti-involution system for the entire company.

He typed a few words:

【Leisurely Daily King Plan】

【Werewolf Killing Plan】

The so-called Leisurely Daily King Plan means that the company will encourage everyone to lie down and enjoy life from the institutional level.
Lu Yu will regularly rank the system's point income, select the employees who earn the highest points, and reward them.

This will stimulate more employees to give up their arduous work and focus on leisure.

The so-called werewolf killing plan has the exact opposite hunting goal.

He wants to find the wolves that have infiltrated the flock and the culprits who are trying to stimulate the company's wolf culture.

They were subjected to special punishments and reformation measures typical of Taoyuan Township...

However, due to the limitations of the system rules, Lu Yu cannot directly show his tendency to maliciously slack off. This sense of incongruity will also increase the risk of system exposure, so some methods must be used to package and conceal it.

Jie Jie Jie.

Lu Yu's eyes lit up as he kept tapping away at the keyboard. He believed that once he announced this system, the company's employees would be very fond of it.

……

At this moment, Liu Mengyuan, who was sitting next to him, was also flipping through the system screen with a confused look on his face.

After all, she should be happy that Super Time Dimension Moe Girl is so successful.

However, the proportion of proficiency points earned recently that are work-related has actually decreased.

In fact, after thinking about it for a while, she understood what was going on.

Where did the core design points that made this game successful come from?

If you look at it carefully, you will find that there is not a single design highlight in Te Miao, and it was all thought up during the work in the company.

The idea that everything can be cute comes from Wan Xiaotong's sudden flash of inspiration.

The game's worldview is derived from Wan Xiaotong's middle school fantasy and Lu Yu's middle school diary.

The game's combat system was thought up by everyone while they were doing aerobics at the company and accompanying Wan Xiaotong to go crazy.

The rest of the settings for battles and factions were all imagined by the employees based on what they saw when they traveled to Yunnan and petted cats at Cat House.

Even the things that make the game most exciting are the unexpected results after the bugs are accidentally fixed.

I guess if these things were to be made public, those colleagues who have tried their best to come up with a hit product would be so angry that they would vomit blood!

Liu Mengyuan sighed. She flipped through the screen and took stock of her recent sources of point income, and found that they were also concentrated on two things -

The first thing is to eat, all kinds of food, from home to the company, and then to the south of the border,
Therefore, her cooking proficiency points continued to improve, and her taste for tasting food improved rapidly.

She even started to become adept at cooking, especially her skill in stewing soft-shelled turtle soup, which she had reached perfection.

The second thing is to pet cats, all kinds of cats, all the way from home to the company.

Dabai, the cat from the neighboring grandmother's family, has now completely rebelled. He doesn't get off work every day and waits obediently at the door like a concubine waiting to be favored.

The cats in Mao Zhiming are also very disobedient, and Lu Yu is even so cunning as to let them come to the company to act cute. Who can stand this?
……

In fact, it was not just Liu Mengyuan herself. She unexpectedly discovered that the skill trees of this group of employees in the company were also beginning to go astray.

Technical Director Chu Xiong's graphics rendering and artificial intelligence technology began to make rapid progress.

Although, the advancement of artificial intelligence technology sounds like a good direction.

But even Chuxiong's AI proficiency points are all heading in the direction of Sese!

Fortunately, his own daughter, Melissa, the company's current AI ambassador, has not shown obvious tendencies towards depravity.

But it is hard to say when Melissa started to get sick.

Could it be that she has started to have an attack now, but the people in the company haven't noticed it yet?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Liu Mengyuan shook his head desperately, completely throwing away this terrible idea.

As for Zhang Qiqi, as a music director, this girl is obsessed with dark-style arrangements every day after get off work, and her skill tree is also rushing towards the direction of the Death Diva.

Taking down a herd of Asian elephants is no big deal.

Liu Mengyuan was afraid that one day this girl would just whistle in the subway and take away everyone on the bus.

Wan Xiaotong, the producer of the company's most successful project to date, noticed through the system screen that this girl's second-year syndrome was becoming more and more serious.

Every day, she desperately fights against the existence called the invisible boundary.

Mo Xiaoxuan, the producer of another core project of the company, seems to be a quiet and normal boy at first glance.

But Liu Mengyuan could see clearly through the system screen that this kid had started secretly dressing as a woman when he returned home!

What cute JK uniforms, over-the-knee stockings, Lolita skirts, etc., are all secretly trying them, and the makeup and styling are becoming more and more proficient...

Is it true that there is only one chance and countless times to dress as a woman?!
However, his women's clothing skill tree halo can provide development acceleration for the project, so just wear it.

Just be careful not to let his employees notice him wearing women's clothing.

……

As for the proficiency point income of other employees, statistics show that the sources are similar -

Feast!

It’s still a great feast!
Pet the cat!

Still a very cute cat petting!
She glanced at Lu Yu with a rather resentful look.

The company's employees have reached this point thanks to the various bizarre systems and incredible team-building frequency that Lu Yu personally formulated.

If this continues, she and other employees in the company will probably be completely disabled by Lu Yu!

No!

Don't let yourself fall into depravity!

In particular, in this cycle, if the surprise mission fails and the proficiency point target cannot be achieved, she will completely degenerate into a dark succubus.

Liu Mengyuan shuddered with fear when he thought of this. He quickly turned on his computer and began to design a new system for the company:
【God Rewards Hard Work Plan】

【Wolf King Plan】

The so-called "God rewards hard work" plan means that the company will encourage everyone to focus on game development from a system level.

She would regularly rank the system's point income, select the employees who earned the highest points, and reward them.

This will stimulate more employees to give up playing slacking and focus on their work.

The so-called Wolf King Plan is to find role models of hard work among employees, and then work hard to cultivate them to stimulate the company to develop a wolf pack culture.

Uh huh.

Liu Mengyuan's eyes lit up and he kept tapping on the keyboard.

She believed that once she announced this system, the tasks of this cycle would be completely stable!
……

At this moment, Tang Wanru, the eldest of the three Tangtang sisters, was about to come forward to report on her work, but she was frightened by the aura of Lu Yu and Liu Mengyuan and dared not take another step forward.

I always feel that... Mr. Lu and Mr. Liu seem to be brewing something extraordinary.

After Lu Yu finished writing, he stretched and asked after seeing Tang Wanru:
"what's up?"

Tang Wanru said timidly in a soft voice:

"Boss Lu, this month is about to hold the annual finals for the 'Best New Star Live Streaming Platform Selection'.

We signed up for this event and have already defeated Leopard Fang.

Our live streaming platform is tied for first place in popularity with Douyin and Douyu, and the competition is very fierce.

I'd like to ask, should we take advantage of the popularity of "Super Time-Space Moe Girl" and organize a live broadcast event to drive traffic to the platform?

Lu Yu had some impression of this activity.

This selection is hosted by China Television and aims to discover the most outstanding and promising live broadcast platforms in the industry and set a new benchmark for the industry.

The winning live streaming platform will become the annual strategic partner of China Television and share the broadcasting rights for many large-scale events and concerts.

In addition, the selection committee will also provide generous advertising resources to the winning platforms.

It can be said that a platform that wins the title of "Best Live Streaming Rising Star of the Year" is equivalent to winning the title of Rookie King in the live streaming industry.

Thinking of this, Lu Yu felt like he was facing a formidable enemy!
What a joke, now "Super Time Travel Moe Girl" has accidentally become a phenomenal hit. What if this wave of collaboration pushes Utopia Light Year into a top platform?
By then, we will be too busy to handle the problem, and I’m afraid it won’t be solved by simply recruiting 200 more people.

In this cycle, the system task allowed him to earn points from 300 people, so he only wanted to recruit these people and didn't want to recruit anyone more.

Resolutely put an end to big company problems and out-of-control internal competition!
He stretched out his hand and shook his head decisively, "No, absolutely not!"

Lu Yu's refusal was so agitated that it startled Tang Wanru, and her voice became even thinner:

"However, for the year-end finals, game live streaming is a must-do."

Realizing his own gaffe, Lu Yu cleared his throat:
"Well, what I mean is that those who wanted to watch the live broadcast of "Super Time and Space Moe Girl" have already watched it at the Tianzun Cup. Using it to attract traffic is not very meaningful. It's better to..."

Lu Yu casually glanced at his game list and saw "Free and Easy Mouth Cannon Life" at a glance.

Although the number of active users of this game ranks second among the company's products, the growth of new users has been obviously weak, so there should be no need to worry about traffic issues when using it for live streaming.

"Just live your life of talking nonsense."

Tang Wanru: "Then should we invite some big streamers or big UP hosts to play?"

Lu Yu shook his head decisively: "No need."

He glanced at Liu Mengyuan, who was still furiously typing away on his computer. "Boss Liu and I will be doing a livestream using the accounts 'Little Yuanyuan and Little Feather.'"

The reason why he made this choice is that if he uses a popular anchor to attract traffic, and the program effect explodes accidentally, and directly makes live streaming and games popular, what should he do?
If he were to personally go on the live broadcast, the controllability would be very strong.

It takes a lot of thought to create a wonderful show, but isn’t it easy to make the show awkward and boring?
I'm just going to start it straight away, how are others going to respond?
……

The next day, the game live broadcast event of the "Best Live Broadcast Platform Year-End Finals" was held as scheduled.

The homepage of Taoyuan Light Year released a poster of Xiaoyuanyuan and Xiaoyingmao participating in the live broadcast.

Many viewers were attracted by the event promotion, and the live broadcast room began to bustle with the screen:
"Hahaha, it's Xiao Yuanyuan and Xiao Yumao again. Are you guys going to become the official anchors of Taoyuan Township?"

"As long as the show is effective, it doesn't matter if we get a few more orders. We love watching it."

"According to the progress of your accounts, today is the finale of Mouth Cannon's life, right?"

Lu Yu and Liu Mengyuan each logged into their own Mouth Cannon Life account.

Because today's live broadcast requires a team to fight the BOSS, Liu Mengyuan invited two friends to join the team.

Game Tips:

"[Call me sister] has joined the team."

"[Swirl] has joined the team."

Liu Mengyuan smiled and explained to the audience in the live broadcast room: "This is a wealthy sister I met in the game. She is very nice and generous. The person next to her is..."

My sister seemed to be watching the live broadcast as well. She typed directly into the chat channel: "This is the coolie who grinds the game for me."

The commentators laughed: "Hahahahahaha, so true."

At this time, in the Liu Group headquarters building in Shenzhou, Liu Lan was playing games and broadcasting live at the same time.
She glanced at Lu Yu in the live broadcast room and curled her lips.

You little bastard, you want to seduce my daughter? Let me test you first.
