You said you would make games by yourself, but how did you become the richest man by doing nothing?

So far this cycle, Liu Mengyuan has gained a total of 1021 proficiency points from the employees of Peach Blossom Village.

Although the number of points is high, her brow furrowed slightly after checking the distribution ratio.

Only 401 proficiency points are related to game development.

The remaining 620 points are all from eating, drinking, playing games, soaking in hot springs, fitness, shopping...

There are even proficiency points from drawing gacha machines.

Emmm... More than 40 days have passed in this cycle, and I have almost half the time left. I need to earn 600 game development points to complete the system's serendipity quest.

It seems that as the vice president, I need to continue to increase my efforts and follow up on the development of various business lines.

...

On Wednesday, after the lunch break, all employees went to the conference room on the fifth floor to watch a special live broadcast previewing the EASTJOY exhibition.

EASTJOY, whose full name is China International Digital Interactive Entertainment Exhibition, is one of the most well-known and influential game exhibitions in the global digital entertainment field.

The program introduced the preparation of the exhibition and the manufacturers who had signed up to participate.

Moreover, every year before the opening, the organizing committee invites the game manufacturers that contract the most booths and place the most advertisements to hold a preview interview as a benefit for the big spenders.

In previous years, this preview interview was exclusively handled by Tenghui Interactive Entertainment, but this year it is Youyi Company.

Youyi Company has invested its largest sum in history to participate in this year's exhibition, and its "Fantasy Westward Journey," "A Chinese Odyssey," "Shun Huo Nuan," "Macho Ghost," "Lost Dream Jianghu," "Magic Dragon World," "Light Destroyer God," and others will all be on display.

Moreover, Youyi Company gave the largest C position in this year's booth to the "Boss Simulator" project.

Therefore, Zou Zhongtian, the game producer of Boss Simulator and deputy general manager of Frostwolf Studio, represented Youyi Company in the interview.

On the TV screen, the female host opened with a sweet voice:

"Hello, players and friends, welcome to this year's EASTJOY preview interview program.

We are honored to invite Manager Zou Zhongtian from Youyi Company to this program."

After a brief greeting, the host got to the point:

"Manager Zou and Youyi Company behind you are relatively new faces to our program. This year, the game 'Boss Simulator' will meet with players at the C-position booth in Hall 1. Manager Zou, what are your thoughts?"

Zou Zhongtian took the microphone and said in a steady voice:

"Actually, in recent years, the outside world has had a wrong impression of Youyi Company, which is that our company is not very aggressive in business expansion. Many industry analysts even describe Youyi as a perennial runner-up, a little sheep.

In order to reverse this impression, and also to cooperate with Chairman Liu Lan's industry-wide expansion strategy, Youyi will adopt a more aggressive approach to seize the market."

Speaking of Liu Lan, Zou Zhongtian's eyes were full of admiration and awe.

"This year, I will guarantee to the majority of players that you will see a different Youyi Company, and you will also see a different Frostwolf Studio!"

The live broadcast's comment section began to flood with messages:

"Oh oh oh, this manager is full of energy."

"Heh, publicly expressing loyalty and flattering the chairman has become an old tradition of the Liu Group. It's nothing new."

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and talk about 'Boss Simulator.' I've been itching to play it since I saw the promotional video last time."

Seeing that the audience couldn't wait any longer, the host went straight to the point:

"The theme of Boss Simulator has never appeared on the market before. I heard that the idea was first proposed by you. Can you talk about how you came up with the combination of urban role-playing and business simulation gameplay?"

...

When the TV program was broadcast here, the old employees of Frostwolf Studio looked at Mo Xiaoxuan one after another.

They all knew that Zou Zhongtian was just a well-connected freeloader in Frostwolf. He used to be Manager Shi's confidant, and seemed to have some distant relatives.

They also knew the past and present life of the Boss Simulator project.

One day, Zou Zhongtian, as the team leader, had a whim after drinking during a team-building event, and decided on the direction of the new project, to make a game where you can enjoy being the boss.

After only saying this, he threw the heavy design task to Mo Xiaoxuan, forcing Mo Xiaoxuan to work overtime and even give up weekend rest to come to the company to write planning proposals for him.

Before writing, he told Mo Xiaoxuan that this planning proposal would be counted as a joint performance for the two of them.

As a result, in the end, he took all the dozens of pages of planning drafts for himself.

In order to prevent the matter from being exposed, and also to give Mo Xiaoxuan, a small intern, a warning, he immediately changed his face after receiving the planning draft, and gave Mo Xiaoxuan a bottom-of-the-list performance rating.

The performance evaluation read: "Continuous passive work for many days, without producing any work results."

Zhang Fan, who vaguely guessed what was going on, couldn't stand it and had a big fight with Zou Zhongtian, and from then on, he also became a thorn in the other party's side, and was soon fired by Youyi Company.

After Mo Xiaoxuan's planning proposal was submitted, the group's project review committee gave unanimous praise, and Zou Zhongtian was also promoted to deputy general manager of Frostwolf Studio.

Looking at Zou Zhongtian on the TV screen, Mo Xiaoxuan recalled the experience of being PUAd before, and his lips began to turn white.

Zou Zhongtian on the program touched his nose and said slowly:

"Ahem, actually, this idea originated from my observation of real life.

In reality, many people have dreams of owning their own company and becoming the boss. But starting a company in reality is not so perfect. There will be various challenges and pressures, so I want to create a substitute in the game world for players.

Moreover, business simulation stand-alone games have a large market overseas, but there is still a blue ocean in China, and the competition in this track is not so fierce.

But I am not limited to completely imitating successful simulation games abroad. I want to create a more diverse and interesting world.

Therefore, I have broken through and combined the elements of management, adventure, and role-playing to create this project."

The female host listened attentively, and her beautiful eyes looking at Zou Zhongtian were full of admiration.

She sincerely praised: "In today's domestic market where homogenization is becoming increasingly serious, it is really a blessing for players to have a producer like you who dares to break through and innovate in the game industry!"

"Where, where."

Zou Zhongtian said politely, and then changed the subject:

"Actually, it's not that I'm excellent. I just did what game developers with dreams should do. On the contrary, other colleagues are too slack and can't come up with urban works that surprise players. Hehe, everyone needs to work harder..."

After saying this, his expression was arrogant.

Mo Xiaoxuan's face was pale. All the analysis Zou Zhongtian said was the opening remarks of the planning proposal that Mo Xiaoxuan had worked so hard to write before.

Unexpectedly, Zou Zhongtian didn't even bother to wash the manuscript and directly moved it over.

Zhang Fan was so angry that he slapped the table: "Damn it, he doesn't even want his face anymore!"

Shao Peng, Pan Hao, and other old employees of Frostwolf also looked angry.

Although they weren't as miserable as Mo Xiaoxuan, they had all been tricked by this Zou Zhongtian to some extent.

The live broadcast's comment section was flooded with messages:

"Damn, this Manager Zou is so arrogant!"

"What's wrong with being arrogant? Genius producers have the capital to be arrogant! If you don't agree, other participating friendly companies, take out competing products to slap him in the face."

"Speaking so definitively, aren't you afraid of setting a FLAG."

"Upstairs, you're right. Among the urban adventure themes, there is indeed only this one that has recently released a promotional trailer."

"Except for Youyi, the other booths at this year's exhibition are all rotten. Tenghui, Beautiful World, Dongshanju, and Shengju Network are all commonplace PK-oriented MMOs."

"Wow, then, does that mean that Youyi Company will steal the show at this year's EASTJOY."

Seeing the booming popularity of the live broadcast, the host struck while the iron was hot and continued to ask:

"You also know that our Frostwolf Studio has tried some products in different directions before, but the results have not been satisfactory. What special advantages do you think the current Frostwolf Studio has compared to the past?"

Hearing this question, Zou Zhongtian's eyes gradually sharpened.

"Of course, the most important thing is that we have established unparalleled talent advantages in the industry.

Friends in the industry may have heard from various channels that our Frostwolf Studio has undergone a major change this year, and our headhunters have dug up a group of emerging top talents from various companies.

Our Liu Group has always believed in the '80/20 rule', and Frostwolf Studio is the same.

For example, the fresh graduates we recruit will be evaluated a few months after joining the company, and the bottom 20% will be eliminated.

At the same time, some old employees who are passive and hold positions without doing anything are also among those we eliminate."

The host interjected: "Wouldn't this be too cruel to those who leave?"

Zou Zhongtian smiled slightly coldly: "The game industry follows the law of the jungle, survival of the fittest. People without real talent and practical learning, please leave by themselves."
