In the Internet age, who still makes traditional games?

#102 - Undercover on the rooftop (asking for monthly ticket)

Fei Zhiyuan had previously considered planting a mole in Zhumeng Games.

After considering that there weren't many reliable people and that planting a mole didn't seem necessary at the time, he only used money to buy information from two Zhumeng employees.

But later, Zhumeng took off, and these two people were no longer willing to pay attention to him.

The speed at which "Project Frost Snow" took off was too exaggerated, not only threatening the new game "Mirror World Story," but even suppressing Moyu Games' revenue pillar, "Divine Bird."

"Mirror World Story" is no longer just a nice-to-have attempt, but a key project to surpass "Divine Bird" and "Project Frost Snow" and regain its position in the industry.

Its importance has greatly increased.

The importance of intelligence is even higher!

Therefore, the mole plan was put back on the agenda.

Fortunately, Zhumeng is expanding rapidly and recruiting people on a large scale.

Fei Zhiyuan had promised that he would give him a generous bonus every time there was important information about "Project Frost Snow."

But now...

Chen Peng sat in the bustling conference room, feeling completely dazed.

Is Zhumeng's new project important information?

If it's the second anime-style game, then it definitely is!

But a buy-to-play game...

It doesn't have any direct conflict with Moyu Games—no, to be precise, with all other anime-style game companies.

This probably doesn't count as important information.

But the problem is...

He's already in this project team, and it won't be easy to transfer to "Project Frost Snow."

And looking at the passionate expressions of these people, they might end up working overtime until they vomit...

Chen Peng already had the intention of quitting.

But he had to bite the bullet and sit in the conference room, watching a group of people discuss the new game, their voices getting louder and louder, their tones more and more excited.

The content they were discussing gradually became outrageous in Chen Peng's ears—

"If we can throw grenades, can we throw the guns, magazines, and stones on the road?"

"Since we're pursuing realism, can we climb trees? FPS players often don't look up when playing games, I think we can change that habit for them."

"In that case, let's add climbing tools, and don't just climb trees, let's climb buildings too!"

"If you put it that way, can we climb directly onto tanks and troop carriers when they pass by?"

"Friendly fire should be included, right? The battlefield is so chaotic, it's reasonable to accidentally kill one or two teammates!"

"Should we add weight and hunger values? It's unreasonable for people carrying heavy weapons to run at the same speed as people carrying light weapons, right?"

"If you say that, do we have to poop after eating our fill?"

"Poop then! How hard is it to add a pooping function?"

"Good idea! We can even add a game of strategy! If you poop in the trenches, it will cause morale to drop and make you more likely to get sick. If you want to go outside to poop, you're more likely to be killed by the enemy!"

"Can I pick up the poop on the ground and throw it in the enemy's face?"

"Who the hell would do such a disgusting thing?"

"I would!" Several people raised their hands at the same time, admitting it shamelessly.

Chen Peng, who had been observing calmly, even saw Xu Meng quietly raise her hand.

"Should we add seasonal factors? And weather factors? Especially rain, snow, and heavy fog."

"Currently, there doesn't seem to be any competitive games on the market where weather factors significantly affect the game."

"Then it's best to not only affect the player's speed and vision, but also add details such as vehicle skidding, airdrop deviation, and cannon misfires, right?"

"If you put it that way, should we add the probability of guns jamming and shells misfiring in humid weather?"

"Wait a minute! My stomach and liver are already hurting."

Xu Meng couldn't help but guide loudly: "Pursuing realism is not pursuing disgusting! Don't just stare at details that disgust players! Think of something else!"

"Then invest more budget in sound effects! Good sound effects can greatly improve the sense of immersion!"

"Yes, it's best to use the real stuff! Pull out the tanks and cannons from World War II to record sound effects!"

"Realism alone is not enough, it's best to be slightly exaggerated and integrate music!"

"We need to find the top composers!"

...

The atmosphere in the conference room gradually became heated.

Chen Peng was restless.

He felt that if he didn't say something outrageous, it would be difficult to integrate into this atmosphere, so he shouted for the sake of fitting in: "Find military experts as consultants, preferably those who fought in World War II!"

In his opinion, this was purely an outrageous suggestion.

After all, World War II was more than half a century ago.

Veterans who participated in World War II are now old and enjoying their twilight years.

It's not very realistic to find them to come out of retirement as consultants.

But as soon as these words came out, Xu Meng in the crowd suddenly paused, instantly turning her head and locking her gaze on him!

In her eyes, Chen Peng saw a clear surprise.

Then Xu Meng gave him a high thumbs up, her face full of approval!

Chen Peng blinked, and a strong sense of foreboding surged in his heart.

But Xu Meng immediately withdrew her gaze and continued to join the passionate discussion of the other employees.

This made him breathe a sigh of relief.

The latest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

After that, Chen Peng didn't dare to shout indiscriminately, and sat there honestly until the meeting ended.

After the meeting, Xu Meng released another unexpected piece of news:

Before the project was officially launched, Zhumeng organized a team of 20 people to do preliminary work.

Currently, "King of War" has produced a miniature demo.

It's not closely related to the game itself, it's mainly used for the simulator test in a few days, and it can also support the most basic gameplay.

"After you go back, you can find it in Zhumeng's office software, you can try it out first and give your opinions."

"The next meeting will discuss refining this rough demo for the Cologne Game Show next month."

"Well, today's meeting will end here, everyone go and familiarize yourself with your work station and your colleagues."

...

The meeting is over.

But many people were unwilling to leave and were still enthusiastically discussing various topics.

Chen Junyi, Zu Rongyao, Li Xingyun and other big shots were also surrounding Xu Meng, chatting about something.

Chen Peng couldn't wait any longer and hurriedly left the conference room.

He first wanted to run to the bathroom to make a call, but he was afraid of being overheard, so he took the trouble to run to the rooftop on the top floor of the office building.

He was surprised to find that the door to the rooftop was not locked.

As far as he knew, in the past two years, after people from major Internet companies—including game companies—successively jumped off buildings at the company, many companies had locked the rooftops and did not allow employees to go up at all.

The rooftop of Moyu Games' headquarters building was locked with thick iron chains.

Closing the door and running further away, Chen Peng hurriedly dialed Fei Zhiyuan's phone.

"Hello?" Fei Zhiyuan's unhurried voice sounded on the other end of the phone, "What's wrong?"

"Boss, the situation is not right!" Chen Peng said anxiously.

"Not right? What's not right?" Fei Zhiyuan didn't understand.

"Today, the boss of Zhumeng held a meeting here at the new office building, and pulled in a lot of people, I was called over too."

"Isn't this a good thing? Did they say anything important?"

"Yes, very important things!" Chen Peng said solemnly, "Zhumeng is going to do a new project, with a very large investment! They've also dug up a lot of big shots to join!"

"New project? So fast? "Project Frost Snow" has just become popular, and they're planning to make a second one?"

Fei Zhiyuan immediately became highly nervous.

Just as he was about to ask more, Chen Peng suddenly raised his voice and interrupted him:

"Who's there?!"

His eyes stared straight at the rooftop entrance.

Although the door didn't move at all, Chen Peng felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

Fei Zhiyuan on the other end of the phone immediately quieted down, so as not to cause trouble for his mole.

But after he held his breath and remained quiet for a while, there was no follow-up from Chen Peng's side.

Fei Zhiyuan blinked, recovered from his nervousness, and said the key words:

"Thank you for your hard work, your bonus will not be less."

Chen Peng immediately replied: "Boss, what are you saying! This is all I should do! But after doing this job for a long time, my mind has been tense, and I'm indeed a bit paranoid, sorry, sorry."

He apologized twice, quickly glossed over the matter, and gave the key information:

"Zhumeng's new game is not an anime-style game, they're going to make a buy-to-play game!"

"Buy-to-play?"

Fei Zhiyuan's mind short-circuited for a moment.

Last day of double votes, please vote!
