Chapter 125: Chapter 125: You Need My Help, Right? (Four updates for monthly tickets!)
Yu Qiao Qiao still remembered the first time she thought Chen Yan was different. It was when he showed her the game design proposal he wrote.
When she first saw that game proposal, Yu Qiao Qiao was completely stunned by the massive storylines, the intricate relationships between characters, the tragic beauty of the love story, and the deeply moving national sentiments.
Then, after finishing reading the game proposal, when she looked at Chen Yan again, she realized that the young man in front of her was truly talented.
That night, under the lights, he looked like a piece of jade just beginning to show its brilliance—warm, unassuming, yet eye-catching.
Today, when Chen Yan talked about his ideas once again, Yu Qiao Qiao felt that sensation again.
Although she didn’t know whether Chen Yan’s new game would be a hit, she knew that right now, Chen Yan was definitely at his coolest!
At the moment, Chen Yan was unaware that Yu Qiao Qiao was once again captivated by him; after finishing talking about his ideas, he quickly picked up paper and pencil and began to jot them down.
Sometimes, inspiration is just like that.
When you don’t have it, you might struggle for months without success. But once you get it, it might all come together in just a few minutes.
In just a brief moment, a rough game proposal was formed.
"Mudman Ultimate Elimination"
A large-scale action obstacle course game.
The gameplay involved dozens of uniquely shaped little clay characters competing and running obstacle courses.
It was just a preliminary idea. In due time, the number of clay characters, gameplay, and even the levels all needed to be designed.
But even though it was just the first draft, Chen Yan unexpectedly felt it was very good!
His years of experience in game planning told him that this game’s performance would not be worse than "Hidden Guardian"...
Moreover, because of the strong interactivity of such games, if the final product was a multiplayer game, it could not only be sold on the stm platform. After becoming popular, it could also be adapted into mobile games, Ps4, and other major platforms.
By then...
It might be Chenyu Game Company’s first game to be released on all platforms!
This represented a firm step forward for Chenyu Company’s gaming business!
Thinking about this, Chen Yan became a bit restless!
He grabbed Yu Qiao Qiao and said with a smile, "Thank you! Qiao Qiao! If this game succeeds, you definitely deserve half the credit!"
"When the time comes, I’ll set an Easter egg for you in the game!"
After saying that, Chen Yan left Yu Qiao Qiao behind, excitedly running out to share his results with several bigwigs.
And Yu Qiao Qiao, who had just been embraced by Chen Yan and then left behind, was utterly bewildered through all of this.
Following through the opened door of the sculpture room, she watched Chen Yan call over the bigwigs, enthusiastically explaining his idea, her gaze growing softer.
After a while, she sat down, rested her chin in her hands on the table, tilted her head, and watched Chen Yan, practically laughing like a little fool...
...
The day passed in discussions about the game.
Since Chen Yan’s moment of inspiration and the conception of this game idea, the entire Chenyu Company had burst into activity.
Fat Phoenix criticized Chen Yan’s poor drawing skills with her professional design background first...then praised the little clay figure that Yu Qiao Qiao had shaped.
She said it looked irresistibly charming, very cute at first glance.
She believed this type of cartoon character would be very popular among anime fans and young girls.
And Cheng Tianxiang, the technical wizard, was also intrigued by this type of small game. He thought it wouldn’t be difficult to make, but developing multiplayer interactions would be a real test of skills, posing a significant challenge.
And in the company, the planning ace, Giant Tank.
Always reticent, this time he thought about it for a long time and then gave Chen Yan a thumbs up.
Though he didn’t speak, his gesture said it all.
Since this was just a basic game setup, the bigwigs needed to start refining the gameplay, process, characters, and even designing each level step by step.
What had been a gradually quieting Chenyu Company due to the launch of "Invisible Guardian" was now vibrant once again.
With a shared passion for gaming, all employees collaborated and shared their views, providing ideas for the game’s planning.
So it went, all the way until past 6 PM, close to dinner time, with everyone still talking energetically, completely forgetting...they hadn’t eaten lunch yet...
Finally, it was Lu Man’s phone call that interrupted this "brainstorming session."
"Ring, ring, ring~~" Hearing the ringtone, Chen Yan picked up his phone, and only then did he belatedly realize it was almost evening.
He said with a smile to the few bigwigs, "Let’s pause for now. Time to eat if you need to eat, drink if you need to drink."
"Our new game won’t be finished in a day. Let’s not neglect our health."
After saying that, he picked up the phone and went over to the window to answer it.
On the other end of the call was Lu Man’s lazy voice, "Boss~ are you free tonight?"
Chen Yan: ...
Lu Man’s voice was always so tingling, making people itch just listening...
He coughed and said, "No, busy with company stuff."
Lu Man replied nonchalantly, "You don’t just have that one company~ There’s our...company too."
Her voice when saying "our" was especially drawn out, as if flirting.
Knowing her well, Chen Yan wasn’t fooled and directly said, "You need something, right?"
Lu Man laughed with a "Hehe" for a moment, returning to her humorous self, "You really can’t hide from you. Mei Li wants to have dinner with you to discuss my situation."
"She’s come up with a solution to lift my ban."
A solution to lift the ban?
Chen Yan was taken aback.
Originally, he had no intention of joining Lu Man and the others for dinner today; he wanted to continue working overtime discussing the game with the bigwigs.
But... the game was important. Investing in Lu Man was also very important...
After all, without investing in Lu Man, there wouldn’t be any money to make the game.
So after some thought, for the sake of the game, Chen Yan agreed to it, "Alright. Then give me the address, and I’ll head over later."
"Okay!" Lu Man happily agreed. Then she slipped back into her languid tone, "I knew I wasn’t wrong about you, man~ tonight, I’m all yours~~"
Chen Yan: ...
This woman... was truly something.
Flexing her flirting skills, it seemed endless...
This made Chen Yan involuntarily remember the poses he saw of Lu Man that night.
Those were some options that almost made Chen Yan reassess his view of her...
After hanging up the phone and telling the bigwigs that he had something tonight and couldn’t continue brainstorming, Chen Yan packed up his things and left the company.
Today, Yu Qiao Qiao had no classes in the morning but had classes in the afternoon. She went back to school around noon, so Chen Yan didn’t need to take time out to send her off.
Looking at the restaurant address Lu Man texted on the phone, Chen Yan followed the navigation to find it.
Meanwhile, in the hotel, Mei Li was instructing Lu Man,
"Man Man, don’t act up tonight. Whether Chen Yan agrees to invest in the movie is a crucial step for your career."
