114: fawning

No one expected Ye Bai's holographic games to be so good as well.

Initially, everyone thought he made mobile games because he simply didn't know how to make holographic ones.

Looking at it now, those who speculated were slapped hard in the face.

He didn't just know how to make holographic games; he was incredibly good at it.

One must realize how many big-shot Producers participated in the Public Welfare Competition, yet a student from the Game Production Department like him actually stood out from the crowd.

He successfully won the championship in the game track!

After this, people like Luke would probably never appear before Ye Bai again.

Unless Ye Bai did something himself to provoke public outrage.

After finishing his scenes for the day, he performed routine maintenance on his game.

Then, he drifted off into dreamland.

The next day, Ye Bai got up early and went to the classroom for class. As soon as he entered, he heard someone shouting, "Ye Bai! Come, sit here."

It was a tall boy, seemingly named Mi Leshan.

Before Ye Bai even walked over, the other people in the classroom already showed disappointed expressions.

He even faintly heard a few people whispering, "Damn it, that kid beat us to it."

"Sigh, why didn't I just shout it out just now?"

When Ye Bai went over, Mi Leshan eagerly handed over a bottle of milk and a piping hot breakfast. "You haven't had breakfast yet, right? I happened to buy an extra portion, it's for you."

Ye Bai: ... "Ye... Ye Bai," before he could speak, another voice came from behind him, "Do you want some chocolate?"

A piece of chocolate was held out in front of him.

He turned his head to see a girl; she had her head lowered and looked very shy.

If it weren't for the fact that the whole class was acting this way, he might have mistaken it for her having a crush on him.

"Thank you," Ye Bai accepted the chocolate and, under Mi Leshan's expectant gaze, accepted his breakfast as well.

Then he took a bite and spoke very exaggeratedly, "Mmm! This is delicious!"

"Thank you! If it weren't for you, I might have had to go hungry today!"

Hearing his words, Mi Leshan was almost moved to tears. He said fumbling, "If you like it, I'll bring it for you every day from now on!"

Ye Bai smiled, "No need to bring it every day, that would be too expensive."

"Ah... it won't be," Mi Leshan immediately became dejected, defending himself in a low voice.

"It's just bringing breakfast, it doesn't cost much money."

Ye Bai felt a bit of a headache; this situation of being fed had been going on for more than a day or two.

Ever since this semester started, his classmates had been exceptionally enthusiastic toward him.

Every time he walked into the classroom, he felt like an emperor deciding which concubine to favor.

The one favored would be ecstatic, while those not chosen were annoyed and sad... As soon as Pei Ji entered, he leaned toward Ye Bai, "Good morning, Master!"

As soon as he appeared, the classmates in the room instantly looked at him with eyes full of envy, jealousy, and hate.

You should know, it was because Pei Ji boldly sought Ye Bai's guidance that his game successfully made money and was even personally praised by Master Qin.

What a great honor that was!

Sigh, if only it had been them who went to find Ye Bai back then.

But if they went to ask Ye Bai for advice now, what if they were rejected? Or what if Ye Bai thought they were too opportunistic?

Just as they were lost in thought, Ye Bai suddenly spoke, raising his voice slightly, "Speaking of which, I've actually had something on my mind lately."

Hearing this, Mi Leshan and Pei Ji immediately asked, "What is it?"

"Can I help?"

After speaking in unison, the two of them glared at each other.

The other students in the class also pricked up their ears, listening intently.

Ye Bai rested his chin on his hand, "Actually, I want to set up a game studio, but it's really hard to find suitable Producers. I don't trust outsiders."

"Master, you're going to set up a game studio? Can I join?" Pei Ji spoke excitedly.

Ye Bai patted his head like a dog's, "Of course you can, but having just you isn't enough."

"That... Ye Bai, I... can I join?" The girl sitting behind Ye Bai spoke softly, "I know I'm still very poor at it right now. I—I don't need a single cent, as long as you give me a chance!"

Seeing someone beat him to it, Mi Leshan immediately spoke up, "Me, me, me! I want to join too!"

Ye Bai smiled, "Of course!"

Once he said that, the other students also began to stir.

If they joined Ye Bai's game studio, wouldn't they be able to have Ye Bai guide them openly and legitimately in the future?

"Ye Bai, can I join? I don't want money either, and I can bring you breakfast every day!"

"I—I can bring you lunch!"

"Me, me, me, I'll do dinner! I'll have my family's chef deliver dinner to you every day. You can eat whatever you want!"

"Then I'll drive for you!"

"I'll wash your feet!"

"I'll warm your bed!"

?

Ye Bai's ears were about to explode from their noise. He hurriedly raised both hands, "Everyone quiet down. I know everyone is very excited right now."

"If you want to join, you all can, but there are some things I need to make clear beforehand."

They quieted down to listen to what Ye Bai had to say.

"First of all, there are no salaries for the time being because everyone still has classes every day, so there are no fixed working hours. You can make games in your spare time."

"However, as long as the games you produce pass my inspection, I will start paying everyone a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan from that moment on, and I'll also take a portion of the game's profits to distribute as bonuses."

"But I also hope those who start receiving a salary remember that from that moment on, I am your boss. If you don't work hard, I will fire you without mercy. Of course, if you want to leave the studio, you can do so at any time."

A monthly salary of three thousand yuan was actually quite low for students who were still studying.

Because most college students didn't have a clear understanding of themselves yet; they felt that since their families gave them several thousand in living expenses every month, it shouldn't be a problem for them to earn ten thousand a month after graduation.

In reality, they might not even be able to find a job.

But Ye Bai's classmates didn't think that way. Do you know what kind of place this was?

This was the Game Production Department!

Everyone who came here knew more or less about the miserable state after graduation: games made being ignored, switching careers directly, being flamed until their mental health broke, draining everything from their families and ending up begging on the streets... Someone like Ye Bai, who could create a hit like 'Honor of Kings' in his freshman year, was as rare as a phoenix feather or a unicorn horn.

They were also very clear that even without a salary, as long as they worked hard and stayed close to Ye Bai, they might be able to get a share of the success.

So when Ye Bai asked, "Are you sure you want to join my studio?"

Almost all of them raised their hands, "We're willing! We're willing!"

Seeing them so happy, Ye Bai also nodded with satisfaction.

He had actually considered this long ago; a game studio definitely had to be established.

With so many games, it was impossible for him to make them all by himself.

When Director Hou mentioned the classmates last time, Ye Bai already had the idea. His classmates were also good to him, so he might as well take them in to work together.

Of course, he wasn't afraid of anyone betraying him. If they betrayed him, he'd just fire them and sue them; what else could happen?

Would this situation not occur if he went out and recruited people himself?

Who could guarantee that every person they met would be good?

Even if someone was good at the beginning, it wasn't certain they wouldn't turn bad after experiencing so many things.

One could only say that human hearts are fickle; as long as he did right by himself, that was enough.

"Good, then our studio will be called Zhu Guang Studio," Ye Bai clapped his hands, "Our first project is—"

"To create a platform that covers thousands of mini-games!"
