237: Trash games

Qian Ziyong returned to his large apartment.

Across from the construction site was his community, "Gaoshan Liushui," just a few steps away.

Inside the room, Qian Ziyong turned on his computer.

Their family's game was out!

It was a cooking game.

Looking at the game's size, less than ten GB, Qian Ziyong was a bit bewildered.

Didn't they say the graphics were bad?

Why was it so big?

He had a bad feeling.

The game was called "kitchen chaos," which sounded uninspired at first glance.

If it weren't for his own company's game, Qian Ziyong wouldn't even have been interested in clicking on it.

The name was perfect.

He clicked it open and saw an animal person holding a cleaver, looking a bit silly and cute.

Qian Ziyong couldn't help but frown; this little character looked very pleasing to the eye, very likable!

Bad review!

He opened the game, skipped the cutscene, and started cooking...

Boring!

Qian Ziyong found that the entire game was just cooking, with no combat at all.

Moreover, one person controlled two characters and had to switch back and forth.

Most importantly, there were some tables blocking the terrain between the two characters.

One side had ingredients, the other had a cutting board, and both sides needed to cooperate to cook.

In other words, playing alone was impossible; it required multiple players to cooperate.

This point was very good!

Qian Ziyong played for a while and found it extremely boring!

Which idiot designed this idiotic game?

It was him.

Oh, well, never mind!

Good game!

Qian Ziyong tossed his mouse and started praising it in the group chat.

"I just played the game, good review, very, very good! Keep up the good work, you got this! Go, go, go (。◕ˇ_ˇ◕。)"

After clicking send, Qian Ziyong completely relaxed.

Just then, Bi Chengwang sent him a message: "Boss, should we make a second part?"

For such a crappy game, of course, they had to make a second part!

Qian Ziyong immediately sent: "Yes!"

"It just needs to be similar to the first part; I'm very optimistic about it!"

After sending it, Qian Ziyong felt a bit guilty.

For such a bad game, his continuous encouragement felt like pushing his employees into a fire pit.

Qian Ziyong muttered to himself: "Just slack off; life is only a few decades long, why work so hard?"

"Slacking off for a while feels good; slacking off all the time feels good all the time!"

The business world is like a battlefield; don't blame me for being unscrupulous. I'm just this ruthless. Who told you to end up with a boss like me!

Feeling a bit better, Qian Ziyong started playing a game.

He had recently been playing Lian Po as a support, who was tanky and had crowd control, and most importantly, support Lian Po carried Smite.

It felt great to steal teammates' kills!

Once he got skilled, he would play with Liu Gaoda in a couple of days and steal Han Xin's kills!

...

On the other side, at Maha Game Company, Bi Chengwang, encouraged by Qian Ziyong, jumped up excitedly.

"Before it's even released, the boss wants us to start developing the second part!"

"The boss highly praised the game we developed!"

Upon hearing Bi Chengwang's words, everyone put down their game consoles, billiard cues, fishing rods, ping-pong paddles, milk tea, and snacks.

They all gathered around to look at the group message.

"It's true, the boss praised us!"

"The boss must have started playing our game as soon as it was finished; otherwise, why would he reply to us so quickly!"

"It seems our design philosophy perfectly aligns with the boss's philosophy; this is a sure win!"

"I'm so excited to see how players react to this game!"

"..."

Everyone was discussing enthusiastically.

They had never put so much effort into a game before.

This game contained their deep sincerity!

Not for money, but for fun, to create a classic game!

So they were incredibly excited.

Now, having received high praise from the boss, and the boss asking them to make a second part, their confidence greatly increased!

Bi Chengwang smiled and said, "Of course, the boss played for a long time; he might have even completed it!"

He opened the backend data, looked at the game backend he sent to the boss, and found that he had only played for five minutes.

Bi Chengwang silently closed the backend and said, "To praise it so highly after playing for such a short time only shows that the boss is optimistic about the game!"

"It means there's no need to play much; just by seeing the gameplay, he knows it will be successful!"

Everyone nodded somewhat uncertainly: "The boss has never been wrong; it must be like this!"

An employee said, "The boss doesn't have a girlfriend; maybe he doesn't have gaming partners, which is why he didn't play much?"

Everyone thought that made sense.

Liu Gaoda was really something; he had four, but he didn't even give one to the boss.

...

Abroad, at a well-known game company, employees gathered, all waiting.

Today was the day they were releasing their new game's EA (Early Access) version.

Success or failure depended on this one move!

They had ample confidence.

Because they were a multiplayer game, the king of two-player games.

They were the world's most famous two-player game company.

And today's game was their painstaking effort, developed over a year!

As early as when they released the promotional video, many players pre-ordered and urged them to release it quickly in the comments section.

Today, it was here!

Amidst much anticipation, the new game was about to meet its players.

The supervisor standing at the front said, "This game will become a milestone, opening a new chapter for two-player games and becoming a classic in gaming history!"

"Our Youth Games Company will become even more brilliant because of this!"

Everyone applauded enthusiastically, all staring at their computers, waiting for the game to meet the players.

This was a 3A masterpiece, with perfect graphics that would surely be a feast for the eyes.

Just then, an employee said, "Supervisor, a game company has released a multiplayer game."

"The game size is nine GB, and it's a full-platform, multi-language official version!"

The supervisor was shocked: "Official version? Not a test version?"

"Nine GB? That big?"

Their 3A masterpiece was only 16 GB; could the other party also have a 3A masterpiece?

If it was the same type of game and the release times coincided, it would somewhat affect sales.

If the other party's game was better than theirs, it would have a huge impact on their game's sales.

The other party's game was not small in size and was an official version, while their game was only a test version...

This was bad!

All the employees were very worried.

The supervisor nervously asked, "Which game company is it?"

Could it be a well-known game company of their level, secretly holding back a big move, just waiting for this day to snipe them!

The employee looked at the computer: "It's called Maha Game Company!"

"Translated into English, it means 'So-So Game Company'!"

"Hmm?" The supervisor was surprised.

All the employees were also very surprised; what kind of awful name was that?

The supervisor asked, "I don't seem to have heard of it. Which country is it from?"

"It's from Huaxia!" the employee said.

Upon hearing it was from Huaxia, the supervisor laughed, and all the employees burst into laughter.

Huaxia!

Haha, haha...

What good games does Huaxia have?

They're all trash!

They're all games that scam people!

They've forcibly turned the ninth art into something that scams players out of money!

Since it's a Huaxia game, there's no need to worry!

It's either scamming players' money or scamming players' money!

And they released the official version directly.

They must be afraid that if they released an EA version, no one would play it!
