450: How miserable it is!

Inside Maha Game Company.

Qian Ziyong came here to look around.

Currently, besides Feihuang Restaurant, Maha Game Company was the most profitable.

He had to find something for the employees of Maha Game Company to do.

Seeing Qian Ziyong walk in with a serious expression, the employees of Maha Game Company all stood up and greeted him cautiously.

Qian Ziyong nodded and said, "How about we have a quick meeting?"

All the employees immediately informed each other and rushed to the conference room at the fastest speed.

It was Working hours now, so everything had to be fast, otherwise the office door would close soon.

Inside the conference room, Qian Ziyong stood at the front.

He coughed and said, "I have an idea: to create a groundbreaking game."

Everyone sat upright, listened attentively, and looked excited.

Even Ju Yewei was like this, very interested.

Qian Ziyong found that no one questioned him.

You guys aren't going to question me?

Why are you so excited and expectant?

He was a complete novice when it came to games, so why did no one question him?

Qian Ziyong said, "Why don't you suspect me at all? I don't understand games!"

He was good at playing games, but when it came to making games, he truly knew nothing.

His studies this past month had all been in the industrial sector.

Ju Yewei said, "Boss, stop being so modest. kitchen chaos was your idea."

"Hey! Mythical Wukong was able to achieve such success, and you played an indispensable role."

"Now the gaming industry is spreading the word that you are a master game designer!"

"Hey! Mythical Wukong and kitchen chaos are still the two most successful games of our Maha Game Company, even now."

Although they had released ten games simultaneously.

All ten games were not bad!

They received consistent praise from players.

But compared to the two games guided by President Qian, there was still a significant gap.

"Yes, exactly! We've long hoped that President Qian would guide us, but you're so busy, and we were afraid of disturbing you!"

"A game guided by President Qian, even before it's released, as long as your name is on it, countless players will surely anticipate it."

"Forget players, I'm already looking forward to it now. President Qian's ideas are always unique and distinctive."

"Of course, President Qian is unique. President Qian subverts every industry he enters. Now countless female compatriots hope President Qian will make sanitary napkins."

"..."

Listening to the employees' words, Qian Ziyong felt this was an insult to his intelligence.

Those two successful games seemed to genuinely be designed by him; he couldn't shake off that responsibility.

It was bad enough that the employees were backstabbing him one by one, but why were those players so stubbornly misguided?

Since that's the case, then let me show you my ruthlessness.

Right!

You see that the game was designed by me, and you buy it frantically?

Then let me show you what it means to be disgusting, and what it means to be a trap.

An evil smile involuntarily appeared on Qian Ziyong's face, and he started cackling maniacally in his heart.

"My game is indeed groundbreaking."

"First, this game needs to be close to reality," Qian Ziyong said, while thinking about how to disgust the players.

Ju Yewei ran to the side and turned on the recording in the consultation room.

He then quickly ran back, afraid of missing a single word.

Qian Ziyong continued, "The specific plot is that the protagonist has a gambling addict father, a sick mother, a sister who goes to school, and the girl he likes!"

Qian Ziyong felt it wasn't tragic enough, so he thought for a moment and said, "He's deep in debt, and it's the gambling father who owes it. After incurring the debt, the father ran away, and the debt collectors are extremely brutal, committing all sorts of evil deeds, demanding that the son repay the father's debt."

He added fuel to the fire of misery: "Besides that, they also charge extremely high interest."

"The protagonist didn't even finish junior high, is uneducated, and comes to the big city to work, with no relatives to rely on!"

Everyone looked bewildered.

Ju Yewei said, "Boss, if the protagonist is so miserable, can players really empathize with him?"

Qian Ziyong said, "Even if they can't empathize, they must. You must make it very immersive, put effort into the plot, and ensure players empathize as soon as they start playing!"

How else could he disgust the players if they didn't empathize?

How else could he get revenge on the players if they didn't empathize?

Let you buy! Buy! Buy!

Qian Ziyong hardened his heart: "The game should not have any shortcuts. Not only that, but it must be even closer to reality."

"For example, the protagonist loves playing arcade games and can't walk past an arcade machine in the big city without stopping."

"One arcade session can cost hundreds or even thousands, and after losing, he becomes depressed and feels down!"

Everyone looked at each other.

This game's difficulty is so high!

Isn't this just torturing the players?

The beginning was already tragic enough, and the protagonist also had character flaws; it was simply beyond miserable.

But Qian Ziyong was still not satisfied and said, "The protagonist has two major limitations: mood and mindset!"

"If his mindset is bad, the protagonist will go around hitting people at night, or even smashing things, and will get arrested by the police."

"If his mood is bad, the protagonist will lack motivation in doing things, and his salary will decrease."

Ju Yewei shivered. This game... it was too much!

He raised his hand.

Qian Ziyong motioned for him to speak.

Ju Yewei stood up and said, "So, what methods can improve the protagonist's mindset and mood?"

Qian Ziyong thought for a moment and said, "Eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, and smoking can all improve the mood."

"However, eating and drinking improve the mood very little."

Ju Yewei nodded. So, it seemed there were three remaining ways to improve the mood.

However, he didn't expect Qian Ziyong to say, "The remaining three can greatly improve the protagonist's mood, but as soon as the protagonist does them, it's illegal, and he'll be arrested by the police!"

"As soon as he's arrested by the police, the game ends."

"We need positive energy; the protagonist of the game absolutely cannot break the law, not even violate it!"

All employees: "..."

Isn't this game too difficult?

Ju Yewei raised another question: "So, does the protagonist earn a lot of money from Working?"

Qian Ziyong shook his head: "No, the protagonist doesn't earn much money at all."

"Limited by the protagonist's ability, he can only do temporary jobs, and when he does temporary jobs, he will be bullied by some people, and sometimes his money will even be stolen!"

"Improving the protagonist's ability allows him to do better jobs and earn a higher salary."

"But as the protagonist's ability improves, his demands will also increase; he'll need better clothes, and a better house to live in, otherwise his mindset will drop!"

Qian Ziyong thought for a moment and said, "Speaking of life, the protagonist will encounter some things in the game."

"For example, the protagonist meets a girl he likes, but because her family is wealthy, she's incompatible with him, and he suffers a blow, causing the protagonist's mood and mindset to drop!"

"Another example, the protagonist sees other white-collar workers eating lavish meals while he can only eat boxed lunches or cheap noodles, and his mood will worsen again!"

"In short, you stick close to reality and lower the protagonist's mood."

"Things like getting hit by a car while jaywalking, or the protagonist getting sick from eating junk food."

"Also, doing some high-difficulty jobs, besides lowering his mood, will also cause injuries, and even illness!"
