451: Specially disgusting people

“Too difficult, too difficult!”

This was everyone’s thought.

“Is this game meant for humans?”

“How hard must it be to play?”

“Is it even letting people live properly?”

Bi Chengwang stood up and asked, “Boss, what about happiness?”

“What happiness do players get from playing this game?”

President Qian sneered inwardly.

Happiness?

“You’ve all scammed me so badly, and you players still want happiness?”

“You give me money, you’re happy, you build your happiness on others, and you still want me to bring you happiness?”

President Qian shook his head, “There is no happiness.”

“I just want players to experience life!”

All the employees were incredulous.

Why play a game if there’s no happiness?

Isn’t playing games for happiness?

Life is already hard enough; who would play such a depressing game after work?

President Qian decisively stated, “This is the content of the game.”

“If there’s anything I missed, add it in if you think of it.”

“In short, it must be close to life, very, very close to life.”

Bi Chengwang asked, “So, is the game’s protagonist male or female?”

President Qian said, “Either male or female!”

“If it’s a female protagonist, absolutely do not have her marry a rich person.”

“It’s best if there are indeed rich people in the game, and the female protagonist tries every possible way to latch onto a rich man, only to end up as a mistress and get beaten by the original wife.”

“And then, a mental breakdown!”

After saying all this, President Qian himself felt a bit overwhelmed.

This was too tragic.

Let’s see who still buys their game!

“Alright, you all think about the rest; I’m going to do other things.”

President Qian somewhat anticipated players getting to play this game soon, so he said, “I hope this game is completed as soon as possible and meets players soon.”

“Therefore, overtime is specially permitted, but the overtime pay will be double the regular salary.”

“Additionally, only two hours of overtime are allowed per day.”

After speaking, President Qian left.

With President Qian gone, everyone remained in the conference room, silent for a long time.

What kind of game was this??

Bi Chengwang and Ju Yewei sat together.

The team leaders from several groups also came over.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Ju Yewei shook his head, “Don’t look at me, I don’t know what the boss is thinking either.”

“I’ve been making games my whole life, and President Qian’s game concept, I truly don’t understand it; it’s completely illogical.”

Everyone else nodded.

Yes!

It was truly too illogical.

Playing games is all about having fun!

Many game companies nowadays aim to make players feel good.

Like hack-and-slash games, or taking out seven or eight small monsters with one shot.

Even some very difficult games only seem difficult; once players adapt, they aren’t that hard anymore.

But this game was designed to make players constantly uncomfortable, and it had to be incredibly close to life.

What’s life like? Do we need to play a game for that?

We’re already working like beasts of burden; do we have to be beasts of burden in a game too?

Ju Yewei said, “Although I’m not sure what’s good about this game!”

“But following President Qian’s concept will definitely not be wrong!”

“Furthermore, since it’s President Qian’s game, it will naturally be handled as a special case!”

“All employees of the company who can participate in this game should participate as much as possible.”

“Complete this game as quickly as possible.”

Bi Chengwang said, “Don’t worry, this game will definitely be completed very quickly.”

“After all, President Qian has already explained most of the details very clearly!”

The hardest part of a game isn’t the production, but the creativity, which requires constant modification.

However, President Qian had already clearly told them the game’s design plan; the rest was just to complete this concept.

The game visuals and art could be divided into several small groups and finished in a few days.

Their company had nothing in abundance but people!

Moreover, President Qian had even specially allowed them to work overtime!

If each person spent two hours a day working on this game, with two hundred people, that’s four hundred hours a day.

A week would be over six thousand hours.

Since President Qian allowed overtime, wouldn’t it be reasonable to work overtime on Saturdays and Sundays?

How many hours does it take to complete a game?

Ten thousand hours at most!

Logically, with the whole company’s effort, it could be completed in two weeks.

Making a game isn’t calculated that way; two weeks might not be enough.

But three weeks would definitely be enough!

Three weeks at most!

Bi Chengwang pondered for a moment and said, “President Qian said it needs to be realistic, so I think we should go see it firsthand.”

“I plan to go to a construction site!”

Ju Yewei nodded in strong agreement and said, “I know a place that specializes in daily wages; I plan to go there and experience it.”

Many people had plans for personal investigation.

…

The next day, Ju Yewei, Bi Chengwang, and several other employees did not come to the company.

On the third day, Bi Chengwang, Ju Yewei, and the others returned.

Their expressions were very heavy.

Seeing their faces, the employees were puzzled.

They had been diligently completing their current tasks these past few days, aiming to free up time for the new game.

“What happened to you all?”

“Why do you look so bad, and with dark circles under your eyes?” an employee asked with concern.

Bi Chengwang sighed, “The situation is not optimistic.”

Ju Yewei said gravely, “The thin rope breaks first, and misfortune always finds the unfortunate!”

“Tragic, truly tragic!”

The employees who had gone to investigate all nodded in agreement.

All the employees gathered around.

Bi Chengwang said, “I worked at a construction site for a day; look at my hands.”

As he spoke, Bi Chengwang spread his hands, which were covered in blood blisters: “I worked for six hours and really couldn’t keep going.”

“They originally said two hundred, but only gave me fifty.”

Ju Yewei said, “I went to work for daily wages; I was on an assembly line.”

He also spread his hand, revealing three band-aids: “These were injuries from work. I’m better off than Bi Chengwang; I earned one hundred and twenty!”

Someone else said, “You’re all still lucky; I didn’t earn a single penny. The agency didn’t pay me, and I even paid twenty for bus fare out of my own pocket!”

Everyone spoke one after another, full of bitterness and tears.

Bi Chengwang said, “I feel that if I kept doing this, I would definitely become depressed.”

“That’s nothing; I met a brother whose mother is sick at home.”

“For money, he works two jobs a day…”

Ju Yewei said, “The people I met weren’t that tragic; there were quite a few young people.”

“But they’ve lost hope in life, working one day and resting three.”

“They are all very kind young people. I saw with my own eyes someone take out over twenty yuan to give to a beggar who had no food.”

Everyone was greatly shocked.

Shen City was very developed, but they hadn’t expected such a group of people to exist.

Especially since they were used to working at Maha Game Company, where the lowest monthly salary was eighty thousand after tax.

They lived in good houses, and their food was beyond compare.

They had their own independent offices, with air conditioning and fresh air systems, as well as gardens and fishing ponds.
