Game Empire: Starting from Driving Crazy Players

Chapter 140 As expected of a game designed by Zhang Yi
enter the game.

Looking at the cartoon-style picture on the screen, Li Liguo and the director surnamed Wang did not rush to start the game, but chose to familiarize themselves with the operation of the game first.

First experience the tutorial level of the game.

The tutorial level of "Overcooked Kitchen" is very low in difficulty, and it can even be said to be very simple.

The main purpose is to familiarize players with how the game works.

And the basic flow of the game.

Step by step, from cutting and combining vegetables, then cooking and washing dishes, and experiencing the interference of scenes, because the content basically appears alone, it feels like being divided.

So Li Liguo and Lao Wang experienced it a little bit, and there was only one feeling in their hearts.
simple!
"Hahaha, just such a kid who can play games, can force the two top testers of our Gamer company to be like this?"

"One thing to say, isn't this much simpler than cooking in reality?"

The director surnamed Wang laughed.

his face,

At this moment, great self-confidence has emerged, and there is a feeling of swearing.

Before getting into this game, he was quite worried. After all, this is a game that can force two top evaluators to fight. It will definitely not be easy, if he and Li Guo can play it well.

And like the two of them, wrestling together,
That would be a real joke.

But now after a brief contact, the director surnamed Wang feels at ease.

That's it?

It's just such a cartoon game, it's hard for a child to beat him if he plays the game?

"Hey, what do you mean by that, we are sure to win?"

Li Liguo also smiled.

I also have some doubts in my heart.

Based on his current contact, he really hasn't noticed the difficulty of the game "Overcooked Kitchen".

Isn't it just chopping vegetables, cooking rice and serving them?

Is this not easy?
"That must be!" Pharaoh said confidently.

the two of them,

I was also a proper game fan back then!
In the beginning, skipping class and going to the game hall to play games was a basic operation, and they even won a lot of honors in the game hall.

Later, the game industry developed slowly, and after Internet cafes appeared,
They often spend the night together.

Then jointly established the Gamer game platform.

Although it is said that I am getting older, coupled with a lot of things in the company, I have no time and energy to play games together for a long time.

But the love for games in their minds, as well as that kind of operation and thinking, seems to be engraved in their DNA.

never forget.

"Okay, let's start, and watch me take you through this game in minutes."

"Let those guys in the back see who was better at our game back then!"

Lao Wang was sitting upright, with a serious attitude about to start a battle.

The directors behind,
They also started to applaud.

Looking forward to the performance of the two.

The entire evaluation room is filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

It was a bit weird to say, it was supposed to be a very important board meeting of Gamer Company, which could even determine the future development of the company, but suddenly, it turned into a scene of friends gathering together to play games together.

Li Tong looked at his father with an excited face and sighed a little in his heart.

how many years

It has been many years since I saw this expression on my father's face.

It's like leaving behind all the complicated things in the company, and returning to their original age.

Perhaps, sometimes emotions come so abruptly, Li Liguo would not have thought that when he came, he would suddenly recall the years when he played games with his friends, and then he couldn't help wanting to reenact the memory.

That feeling is so warm and beautiful.

People have to recall.

"start!"

Li Liguo seemed to have regained the feeling of the past, and became that Internet addicted boy again.

When the game officially starts,

At the beginning, the difficulty of the level was relatively low. As Internet-addicted teenagers, both of them had operations in their minds, so they were able to cope with it with ease.

Passed a few levels very smoothly.

"sure!"

"Old Wang, Liguo, the skills of the two of you are the same as before!"

"It's a loss for the company that you two are not among our company's evaluators."

The directors behind him also smiled.

but!
Smile and laugh.

As time progresses, the difficulty of the level increases.

With the appearance of various orders, coupled with the background music, both Li Liguo and Old Wang gradually felt a kind of pressure and developed an inexplicable sense of tension.

As if.
I am now in a lively kitchen,

There are all customers waiting in line outside.

and,

The biggest difference between the follow-up levels and the game tutorial mode is that everything in it is mixed together!

chopping, cooking, cooking, washing dishes, delivering meals,

Coupled with the obstacles of the scene sometimes,

Everything is available,
When they appear alone, you will think it is very simple, but if they are all mixed together, the difficulty will be greatly increased!
The most important thing is that two people are manipulating two independent roles.

differences in people's thinking,

As a result, sometimes when people are in a hurry, they cannot maintain a consistent approach to the same thing.

Whenever there is an error in any link,
that's over
After that, the two of them were in a hurry all the time.

"Old Wang! Quickly, cut the meat! Cut the meat!"

Li Liguo held the handle and stared at the character washing the dishes on the screen, then without turning his head, he shouted at Old Wang who was sitting next to him.

"Don't urge, urge, urge, why keep urging?"

"The dishes are all thrown away, look at your dishes haven't been washed yet, what's the use of you asking me to cut meat?"

"And can't you cut meat on your side? I'm also very busy here, okay?"

Instead of going over to help immediately, Old Wang

Instead, he complained.

Sure enough, sometimes when people are in a hurry, they forget everything.

In addition, Lao Wang also had a feeling of going back to the past, and he directly forgot that Li Liguo was still the chairman of the board.

"You're just standing there responsible for roasting the chicken, why are you so slow!"

Li Liguo said anxiously:

"Hurry up, shit!"

"You don't care about that dish! Hurry up! The genima is on fire, hurry up and put out the fire!"

The two stood out and one was in a hurry.

Just like that, because of a trivial matter, I was making a noise while cooking.

Then it got even more hectic.

Coupled with the urging of various orders, the whole kitchen became a mess.

And looking at such a chaotic scene,
The group of directors behind them also enjoyed watching the excitement.

"Hahaha, it seems that the level of their games is about the same."

"This is so funny."

"I didn't expect that such a simple game theme and seemingly simple game process would actually force people like this!"

"I now know how our two game reviewers fought."

Li Tong looked at this scene, and was a little dazed.

seem
The originally warm and beautiful memory is developing in some strange direction?

the other side,
With the development of the game process and the advancement of levels, the order increase speed is getting faster and faster, more and more, and the difficulty is also doubling.

In fact, if the two of them are just rushing to clear the level to play, the difficulty is actually very simple. You only need to fill the plate with food to meet one of the conditions for clearing the level.

But as a former game fan.

hardcore player,
The goal of Li Liguo and Lao Wang is of course not just to pass the level, but to get a higher score.

Going for three stars.

This causes them to be in a tense mood all the time.

"Where's the rice? Rice! Let's cook it!"

"Wait a minute, wait a moment! Why are you in a hurry, the cabbage hasn't been cut yet!"

"Ah, why are you cutting cabbage??? What you want now is potatoes!"

"Laver, laver, laver, where's the laver? Also, what's the matter with this fish, why hasn't it been cut yet?!"

"Don't rush to serve the food first, the soup is all mushy!"

Compared with the beginning of the game, when the two people swear and reminisce about the beautiful scenes of the year, as the order and difficulty increase, the two people gradually become a little powerless from the methodical and confident beginning.

Especially with the continuous emergence of new orders,

Coupled with reminders from old customers,

The already anxious mood has become even more impatient!
and,

The most important thing is that.

That is, the roles of the two of them are independent of each other. When they are in a hurry, they both have their own ideas. One wants to cook the rice first, and the other wants to cook the side dishes first.

The rhythm is directly messed up.

"Damn it! Why the hell are there so many seaweeds?!"

"Isn't seaweed allowed in sushi?"

"That stuff can be done directly on the plate. You shouldn't prepare it first. You should cook the rice first!"

"It's cooking, it's cooking, don't talk about me all the time, just look at what you're doing, time is running out, go chop vegetables!"

"I have to wait for your rice to be cooked? How do you combine the vegetables without the rice?!"

"Wori, don't chop vegetables yet, why is this shit on fire again? Quick! Fire extinguisher! Fire extinguisher!"

"Isn't the fire extinguisher right next to the stove? Where are you going?"

"No, since you've seen it all, why don't you pick it up and put out the fire! Do you have to run around for everything?!"

"."

Orders, more and more.

It seemed like a mountain was pressing on the two of them, making them breathless.

And the guests in front continued to be irritable.

In this case, it is even more confusing.

And this mess,
Things just got worse.

In the upper left corner, the orders on the screen disappeared one by one after the alarm was issued.

Rice cooked on the stove,
It turned into a flaming mountain.

And, in Overcooked, if the fire isn't extinguished with a fire extinguisher in time, it will spread.

This leads to,

In the end, the whole kitchen was engulfed in a sea of ​​flames.
Time arrives.

The score I got was only two stars.

"It's a pity, I almost passed the three-star test." Seeing the last two stars on the screen, Old Wang was full of regret.

Li Liguo couldn't help it.

"This is not a little bit, it is clearly a billion points!"

"No way, who told you to hold the fire extinguisher in the end, and didn't put out the fire for a long time?"

Old Wang shook his head.

Hearing this, Li Liguo frowned.

"The rice caught fire, so can you blame me? Didn't you cut a vegetable, cut it for a long time, and finally asked me to help?"

"Hey! It's not because you keep blocking me on the conveyor belt, and you also threw one of the vegetables flying!"

The voices of the two people gradually increased.

"Can you blame me? It's obviously your job, and I have my own things to do here, okay? It would be nice if I can slow down and help you!"

"Hey? When the fire caught fire for the first time, you couldn't wash a dish for a long time, didn't I go to help?"

Both have their own ideas.

Not convinced.

They all felt that it was the other party's problem, not their own.

The more they talked, the louder their voices became.

Finally quarreled and quarreled,

It is even more noisy to the days when we were in the game hall together.

"I'm convinced, you were like this when you played games before, a batch of dishes! I shouldn't have asked you to play with me just now!"

"My food? Why, are you strong!"

"At least stronger than you!"

"Just fart here!"

"Hehe, don't be unconvinced. If it wasn't for my strong manipulation and clear thinking back then, how could the two of us have won so many honors in the game hall?!"

"."

Seeing the two getting more and more noisy, they became more and more anxious.

It's about to start.

Li Tong quickly walked between the two of them, stretched his hands, and said:
"Dad! Uncle Wang, this is just a game."

The other directors sitting in the back, after seeing this situation, also came over and divided into two piles to separate the two people.

I'm afraid the two of them are arguing,

just fight

Just like the two game reviewers just now.

"Okay, okay, how old are you two, why are you still throwing a temper tantrum like a child?"

"Haha, play a game, why get angry! It's useless!"

"A chairman and a director. They are in their forties and almost fifty. Are you still arguing over who can play the game better? Are you ashamed?"

"Well, now I finally believe in Zhang Yi's ability. To design such a simple game like this, and even let the chairman of our Gamer company fight his brother, this is not something ordinary people can do! "

"."

Everyone finds it both absurd and funny.

At the same time, I also feel that this Zhang Yi does seem to have two brushes!
However, Li Liguo and Old Wang were held back by the crowd, and after persuasion for a long time, they gradually regained their senses. Thinking that the two of them had just quarreled like children, and in front of so many people, they couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Looking at the version of "Overcooked Kitchen" on the screen in front of them, the two exchanged glances.

They all felt the confusion in each other's eyes.

What is going on with this game!
Also, they obviously think this game is very simple, and they have regained the feeling of the past,

Why did it come to the fore?

If it wasn't for these people pulling the two of them just now, or arguing and arguing, it is really possible to do it!
The two were silent for a long time.

At last,
Li Liguo tidied up his clothes, then coughed lightly twice in order to ease the embarrassment in his heart.

"Ahem, everyone has seen the content of this game now, as for the playability and quality of this "Overcooked Kitchen""

"Everyone should have a judgment in their hearts."

Li Liguo was talking.

The director below couldn't help laughing.

Isn't there a judgment!
When I first arrived, I saw two top game reviewers from my company fighting because of this game.

Then he was the chairman of his own company, and his good brother who started the business with him.

Almost got into a fight too,

even,

After watching the whole process, everyone had an idea in their hearts.

Maybe if I was playing this game with other people, I might be playing, and I would also be anxious, and then fight!
Li Tong also looked helplessly at this "The Kitchen".

As expected,
It's a game designed by Zhang Yi!
Too tortured!

And it continues to rise to new heights of tormenting players.

From the simple torture of the player in "Cat Leo" at the beginning, to the unparalleled and suffocating ultimate torture of "Overcoming Difficulties with Bennett Foddy".

Finally, a normal good game like "League of Glory" came out.

Thought he had finally changed his ways.

I didn't expect it,
Immediately after was "Outcry in the Kitchen". Although it hadn't been released yet, Li Tong could already imagine what kind of torture it would be for the players after it was released!

This kind of torture has gone beyond the simple game world and has risen to the real world!

It's enough to crack any unbreakable relationship!
brother?
Ha ha!

Call me up!
Is it a couple?
Ha ha!

Break up labor and management in place!
Zhang Yi's torment has not only existed in the players' own spiritual world, but has begun to torment the relationship between friends!
Thinking of this, Li Tong really admired Zhang Yi.

"Let's all go back to the meeting room first and continue our discussion."

After playing "Outlaws in the Kitchen", I don't know if it's the illusion of everyone, but I always feel that Li Liguo's words are a little less.

And the facial expression,
It's also the feeling of being "silent".

As a result, when everyone took the elevator back to the meeting room, Li Tong did all the hosting work.

Li Tong stood in front and said:
"Then everyone, let's return to our main topic."

"How is the quality of "The Kitchen" produced by Huanshi Studio, as well as the ability of Zhang Yi, a game designer, and the future potential of Huanshi, I think everyone has already made a judgment in their hearts."

"So, this time, whether Gamer chooses to support several major game companies, or chooses to help Fantasy World"

"There will be a few minutes to consider."

"Then you can write your answers on the slips in front of you, and finally put them in the ballot box. The one with the most votes will be our Gamer company's choice."

After saying these words, Li Tong stepped aside.

The people who were already seated at the conference table picked up the pens and paper on the table in front of them, and began to think and hesitate.

some undecided,

It is to exchange views with those around you.

It has to be said that after seeing the game "Overcooked Kitchen" with their own eyes, the directors' views on Zhang Yi have changed a lot.

Maybe these people, because of their age, have gradually withdrawn from the game circle,
Or let your sons and daughters take their place,
I don't know much about the current gaming scene.

But after witnessing the "power" of the fantasy world game with his own eyes, he combined Zhang Yi's previous news and the entire process of becoming famous.

They all affirmed Zhang Yi's ability and potential.

only,
Is it just because of Zhang Yi's ability that he chooses to fight against several major game companies that have been standing in the game circle for many years?
and whether such a choice is too risky
After all, it involves the core and foundation of the Gamer company,

People still have to be cautious.

About 10 minutes or so.

One after another, everyone wrote the answer in their hearts on paper and put it in the ballot box.

"Okay, let's count the votes now."

Li Tong waved his hand.

Immediately, two men in suits came over, opened the ballot box, and took out all the ballots inside.

Then one person gets a ticket,
One person counts on the whiteboard.

the whole process,

Open and transparent.

There is no possibility of cheating or black box manipulation.

"Fantasy world, one vote."

"Hui Ye and other game companies, one vote."

"Fantasy world."

"."

"Fantasy world, eleven votes."

"Kaguya and other game companies, eleven votes."

When counting here,
The man in the suit went to collect the votes again and found that there were no ballots in the ballot box.

So, he lifted the ballot box and turned the opening to all the directors, indicating that there were no missing ballots inside.

The man in charge of counting the votes next to him said immediately:
"Counting complete."

"Tie ticket!"

Hearing this result, all the directors in the conference room were stunned for a moment.

Then they all started whispering.

no one thought,

In the end it turned out to be like this.

"Tie ticket?"

"Then what kind of result is this? Could it be that our Gamer company can choose not to support anyone?"

"It is impossible to remain neutral, because as long as we release the fantasy world game, it is equivalent to choosing to support the fantasy world, and if we don't put the fantasy world game on the shelves, it is equivalent to choosing several major game companies, and there is no other choice .”

"What about this?"

Such a result stumped everyone.

at this time,

Chairman Li Liguo frowned and thought for a long time, then said:
"In that case... I do have a proposal."

Everyone looked at Li Liguo.

Li Liguo put his hand on Li Tong's shoulder and said:

"Since it is to determine the future direction of Gamer, let the young people choose. Anyway, the company will be handed over to him in the future."

"Besides, as Gamer's successor, he has a right to choose, isn't that too much?"

All the directors were taken aback.
Then they nodded in unison.

"can!"

"I support this proposal!"

"I think it's fine."

Li Liguo nodded.

"Okay, since there is no objection, then Xiaotong, you can go."

He patted Li Tong on the shoulder.

Standing by the side, Li Tong didn't expect that the most crucial vote was for him to make a choice.

He went to the scoreboard,
Looking at Fantasy World, and the names of several major game companies,
took a deep breath,

Then pick up the pen,
Write your own answer without hesitation.
