My game, you have no right to award

Chapter 154 Legend
After Zhou Kuang made his choice, his eyes suddenly flashed, and countless images turned into information streams entering his mind.

He seemed to be there himself, transformed into Eiji Aonuma himself, experiencing every moment of his life.

My childhood experience watching my father do carpentry...

Taking classes with my classmates at Tokyo University of the Arts...

After graduation, I was invited by my classmates to an interview, and one of the interviewers sitting opposite me was Shigeru Miyamoto...

Transferred to Development Department 2 by Masayuki Uemura, the father of the Famicom...

My first time as a game producer, I developed the puzzle role-playing adventure game "Strange ~ Monkeys' Treasure Island~" for the SFC...

Due to his outstanding performance, he was recruited by Shigeru Miyamoto to join the development team of "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time"...

Majora's Mask, Wind Waker, Minus Cap, Twilight Princess, Phantom Hourglass...

As one game after another was developed and completed, Eiji Aonuma gradually transformed from a young college graduate into an experienced middle-aged man.

Later, with the release of one Legend of Zelda game after another, his hair and beard began to turn gray.

It can be said that the most golden thirty years of his life as a game developer were all dedicated to the "Legend of Zelda" series, until...

In 2017, "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" was officially released.

Game of the Year is the title this game received.

But for Eiji Aonuma, this is a display of his lifelong learning and his skills as a game producer.

Those exciting, thrilling, painful and sad moments all flooded into Zhou Kuang's mind and became part of his memory.

The moment the information flow stopped, Zhou Kuang's body swayed and he almost fell.

"Ha ha……"

He was breathing heavily, veins bulging on his forehead, and cold sweat was pouring out, as he barely held himself up.

More than sixty years of memories and experiences from Eiji Aonuma's life flooded into his mind, and it was not a pleasant feeling.

It took a long time for Zhou Kuang to finally recover.

The feeling was very strange. When he saw those moments, he did have the illusion that he was Eiji Aonuma himself.

However, when it was all over, he was able to clearly distinguish which memories were his own and which were Aonuma Eiji's.

But there was no barrier in using these memories, as if they were his own, except that they belonged to Eiji Aonuma.

Logically, this shouldn't be possible.

Because Zhou Kuang's life has just begun, the amount of information he has is far less than that of Aonuma Eiji's life experience.

Zhou Kuang stood there, feeling silently.

It was obvious that in just a moment, he had a completely new understanding of the game.

Eiji Aonuma's life perfectly illustrates what it means to realize one's talent.

Of course he is very talented, otherwise he would not be where he is today.

But compared to many young talented producers, he has felt inferior countless times, which is what Zhou Kuang felt in his memory.

However, when he reached his sixties, Eiji Aonuma's resume had made many gamers who had become famous at a young age only look up to him.

Eiji Aonuma truly lived up to his talent 100%.

He has no regrets in his gaming career.

It turns out that the so-called key to talent does not only refer to the talent that people are born with, but also the realization of talent after birth.

If you only have talent but don't know how to use it, you may never get the "key to talent" in your entire life.

What Zhou Kuang possessed at this time was all of Aonuma Eiji's production experience, not all of his talent.

He almost laughed.

Such a gift can be said to be more precious than talent.

Because it allows a person to transcend everything he has and reach a higher level.

Zhou Kuang began to recall his previous experience in making "The Elder Scrolls 5" and found it to be terrible.

It's like a university teacher grading elementary school exams. The mistakes in every question are obvious, and he can even come up with hundreds of different ways to solve the problems.

His hands began to itch, and his head also began to itch.

Unbearable!

Zhou Kuang needs to teach himself how to play games!

Producer Comment: Your control over the project is unparalleled. The entire development process is as precise and accurate as if it were placed on an operating table. The polished gameplay has made this game a historic success. With this work alone, you can easily enter the Hall of Fame of game producers.

It only took Zhou Kuang just one try to completely overturn the game he had made before.

Eiji Aonuma's life experience is simply a super treasure trove. Any difficulties he encounters in game development can almost be found in the other person's memory.

All Zhou Kuang needed to do was copy the answers.

He can't be so stupid as to not even be able to copy.

But before Zhou Kuang could think too much, everything in front of him disappeared and he returned to his room.

Zhou Kuang looked around and Todd was not there.

That is to say...

Does this mean?

Zhou Kuang's heart was pounding. He walked quickly to the door, but then his movements slowed down.

He took a breath and carefully tried to open his bedroom door.

Please don't be Bethesda! Please, please don't be Bethesda's office!!

After countless reincarnations, Zhou Kuang almost suffered from PTSD, or post-traumatic stress disorder.

He was really afraid that he would go crazy because he couldn't go back to reality.

The door opened, and outside was his home!

Zhou Kuang ran out and tried to open all the windows and doors in the house, and then opened the front door.

All can be opened!
He breathed a sigh of relief, finally coming back.

He opened his phone and checked the time. He had been in the system space for so long, but the time hadn't changed at all!
In other words, he didn't spend any time in space!

The sales of "Netherworld Mountains and Seas" have just exceeded five million.

Zhou Kuang smiled. Although the process was indeed difficult, the result couldn't be better.

He has acquired all of Eiji Aonuma's game development experience, and the ratings of "The Elder Scrolls 5" produced by him have proved that his talent is at least comparable to that of Eiji Aonuma.

Otherwise, how do you explain the scores and ratings?

The key of talent is not directly equivalent to success, and a certain amount of talent is still required.

In other words, before traveling through time, I had talent but had never found the key, so naturally I could not obtain what the talent brought.

Thinking of this, Zhou Kuang looked out the window at the night and suddenly felt a little melancholy. He might never be able to return to the planet where Aonuma Eiji existed.

I wonder how people in my country are doing?
Have you already embarked on the road to the sea of ​​stars?
It took him a long time to cheer up.

Tomorrow is a new day.

……

……

……

As the sales of "Netherworld Mountains and Seas" exceeded five million, the first batch of anchors who completed the game have been released one after another.

The bonuses were distributed immediately, and the anchors also released related videos.

Many players who saw that they could actually get money also became interested in this game.

The thirty-yuan reward for completing a level is certainly not enough to cover the cost of purchasing the game, but the feeling of getting a cash reward after completing this challenge still keeps many players coming back.

The ratings of Netherworld Mountain and Sea also began to rise as more players completed the game, and many hardcore players even gave it the rating of a "masterpiece".

Zhou Kuang returned to the office of Kuangshi Games.

The first person to notice something was wrong was Feng Qi.

He has very tight control over the entire team, and no slight change escapes his eyes.

Zhou Kuang began to make suggestions frequently, which was uncharacteristic of him, and even participated in the game development process.

At first, Feng Qi thought that the other party was just doing this on a whim. After all, Zhou Kuang had never been in charge of the specific development content before, and was basically a hands-off boss.

Feng Qi naturally couldn't refuse Zhou Kuang's behavior, after all, he was the boss.

Feng Qi comforted himself that as long as he didn't let the other party change important processes, any slight impact would be fine.

As for the fact that Zhou Kuang's character eroded his own rights, he didn't care. He was not a person who was greedy for power.

He was only concerned that power was being placed in the wrong hands.

However, it only took half a day for Feng Qi to be shocked!
Zhou Kuang talked with him in detail, proposed his own team building method, and modified the team's division of labor and responsibilities.

The purpose of such changes is to improve the error correction capabilities of the project.

After all, the current mission of the "Youming Shanhai" project is to fix the bugs in the game.

After reading the plan, Feng Qi applauded, because as a producer, he instinctively saw at a glance that the plan proposed by Zhou Kuang was much better than the previous one.

He immediately nodded and carried out the order.

After a few days of implementation, it was exactly as expected, and the error correction efficiency of "Youming Shanhai" almost doubled!

Within a few days, the abilities Zhou Kuang displayed completely suppressed Feng Qi.

Feng Qi even felt a sense of pressure, a pressure he had only felt from the top producers he had ever met.

He was sure that this was not an illusion, but was caused by the strength displayed by Zhou Kuang!
……

That day, Zhou Kuang was very surprised because Feng Qi actually invited him to dinner after get off work.

And it wasn't a company dinner, but a meal for two people alone.

Zhou Kuang even began to worry that some people had contacted him after the popularity of Netherworld Mountains and Seas.

He had indeed heard similar rumors, but he chose to believe them.

After all, he felt that with Feng Qi's personality, he would be able to see that only in the Kuangshi game could he release his greatest brilliance.

I support him very much. Isn't it my credit that he can devote all his energy to developing the game without thinking about other things?

The two of them took Zhou Kuang's car to a Cantonese restaurant. Because they had made a reservation in advance, they could enjoy the private room very luxuriously.

The two talked about work, life, and interesting stories in the gaming industry, chatting and laughing.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Feng Qi finally got to the point.

He took a bite of chicken and suddenly asked, "Brother Kuang, to be honest, I have learned a lot from you in the past few days."

"You are definitely a more suitable producer than me, but you never got involved in the development of the Netherworld Mountain and Sea project. Why?"

When Zhou Kuang heard Feng Qi's question, he put down the piece of chicken he had in his mouth and was about to eat, and placed it on the plate.

Of course he knew the answer to this question.

That’s because he didn’t die before!!!

To be honest, the cheat is really useful.

It's open, so it's open? Zhou Kuang shook his head to deny it.

This is at most called proxy playing, not cheating.

But Feng Qi didn't know. He only knew that his boss seemed like a different person in just a few days, and the strength he displayed left him dumbfounded and speechless.

Do you have the ability to let me be the producer?

If it weren't for the fact that Zhou Kuang still spoke and acted in his own style, he would have thought that the other party was abducted and replaced by aliens.

After much thought, the only reasonable explanation is that Zhou Kuang has been hiding his strength and concealing his shortcomings.

He remembered hearing from one of his copywriters that the first version of the plan for "Netherworld Mountains and Seas" was written by Zhou Kuang alone.

He was smiling and didn't take it seriously at the time. After all, this statement was too fake, so fake to the extreme.

After all, he had seen the plan before. Judging from its perfection and rationality, it was impossible for one person to make it.

But now think about it, according to the strength that Zhou Kuang has shown, Feng Qi would not be surprised if the plan was really made by him alone.

"It's nothing. I don't like being too busy or too tired." Zhou Kuang said lightly. Even with the experience of Eiji Aonuma, he could not become a full-time producer like Feng Qi.

Otherwise, who will manage the company?

The only difference from before is that he would participate in the project a little, pass on his experience to Feng Qi, and help him correct some errors.

Help him quickly rise to the ranks of top producers.

It sounds a bit against Tiangang, but Zhou Kuang does have the ability now.

Feng Qi was very excited after hearing this.

"But, Brother Kuang, you can definitely lead the team to make a better game!"

In his opinion, Zhou Kuang's behavior was a waste of resources.

The other party was so young and had never been a producer of a game project, but the strength he showed was overwhelming him.

If this is not talent, then what is talent?

Feng Qi even thought that Zhou Kuang was the person who best represented the word "genius" he had ever seen.

"I trust you more than myself."

Hearing him say this, Feng Qi was stunned.

Feng Qi didn't know what to say. He certainly knew how much Zhou Kuang trusted him. That was why after "Netherworld Mountains and Seas" became popular, he ignored the headhunters who came to him.

Should we persuade Zhou Kuang to manage the project personally?

In the end, it can only turn into a sigh.

Since he wasn't interested in that, there was no way he could persuade him.

What's more, he was standing on the side of an employee, and Zhou Kuang was his boss.
