Chapter 433: A Show of Force (First Update)

Arriving at the door of Fangcheng Studio for the second time, Leon felt mixed.

When he first came here, he was Landick's assistant and translator. The exchange at that time was not very pleasant, and it could even be said to be a bit tense.

Although he was just an assistant, he didn't know whether Fang Cheng held a grudge or would settle the score with him.

After mentally building himself up, Leon took a deep breath and walked into Fangcheng Studio.

As soon as he entered, he was just about to express his intention when Xu Qingling at the door smiled and said: "Mr. Lyon, long time no see."

"Yeah, long time no see. I'm here to interview for the planning position."

"Please go to the lounge first. The boss will be there in a moment."

Sitting on a comfortable chair in the conference room, Leon loosened his collar nervously, feeling that he was out of tune with the atmosphere here.

For this interview, he specially bought a suit and wore leather shoes that he was not used to.

He thought it was a polite move to follow the Romans when entering the country, but then he realized that he was too formal here.

He didn't pay much attention when he came last time, but now he discovered that there are all kinds of people here.

Most of the employees were dressed very casually. He even saw a planner walking in wearing slippers, and the people around him seemed to be fine.

And he heard that Fangcheng Studio's new game has been completed. Shouldn't now be the time to nervously debug bugs and designate operation plans?

Why do they all look so easy?

Observing this place as an interviewer, Leon found that the working atmosphere here was more relaxed than Druid Entertainment.

While he was waiting nervously, he felt something fall on his lap, which made him even more nervous.

Lowering his head, he saw a calico cat landing on his lap, purring lazily.

Is it possible to keep cats in this place?

Looking at the kitten in his arms at a loss, Leon didn't know whether he should drive the cat away or take the opportunity to pet it.

After all, this kitten looks quite cute.

At this time, the door was pushed open, and Fang Cheng walked into the office, looking thoughtfully at Leon and the kitten in his arms.

"Mr. Fang..."

Leon was embarrassed and wanted to stand up, but Fang Cheng waved his hand and said it didn't matter, just keep doing it.

Seeing Fang Cheng sitting in front of him, Leon nervously wanted to introduce himself when he heard Fang Cheng ask: "Are you familiar with Beimi Market?"

"Well, I'm still from North America, and I have a very good understanding of the game industry there. I..."

"Can you come to work tomorrow?"

"Um?"

"It's okay today, the workstation has been prepared for you. How are you treated in BeiMi?"

"Annual salary of 230,000 yuan." Leon said immediately, "But if it were here, then I hope..."

"It's a bit less. Do you agree with doubling it?"

"Eh?"

Leon looked at Fang Cheng in horror, wondering if there would be such a boss?

Shouldn’t capitalists take the opportunity to lower prices and then reach a consensus within a mutually appropriate range?

If you act like this as a boss, will you really not go bankrupt?

Or, it could be said that Fangcheng Studio is planning to obtain Landick's secret from itself, and then take the opportunity to suppress the other party.

But then, Leon felt that this idea was unrealistic.

Fangcheng Studio is now at its peak, and the reputation of various games has exploded in the game market. Druid Entertainment is no longer his opponent.

So, why did he give me such a high salary?

Leon's mind was in chaos now, but before he could recover, he heard Fang Cheng say: "But..."

As soon as this word comes out, it means that the other party wants to lower the price.

I hated hearing this word during the previous interview, but in this rather abnormal place, this word gave Leon a sense of security.

After correcting his sitting posture, Leon said seriously: "If there is any difficulty, I can..."

"But you just came here and haven't participated in the project yet, so you won't get any monthly dividends. Can you accept this?"

"……What?"

"Salary is not the big part in the studio, project bonus is the important part. So, can you accept it?"

"No problem, the company is my home, and all your orders are my mission!"

"That's good." Fang Cheng nodded with satisfaction, "Your work station has been arranged. Now start getting familiar with the work."

Leaving the lounge in a daze, Leon felt that this was the most incredible interview he had ever experienced.

In less than ten minutes, my position was confirmed.

There was no written test, no so-called one-on-one interviews and no background checks. A salary far beyond imagination fell into his hands, making Lyon feel like he was still dreaming.

But after seeing the company benefits sent by Xu Qingling, he realized that he was no longer dreaming, but had arrived in heaven.

The dazzling array of various subsidies and countless benefits made Leon suspect that he was not here to work, but to enjoy the blessings.

There is housing subsidy for housing, transportation subsidy for those who are more than one kilometer away from the company, daily meal allowance, and red envelopes for birthdays. It can be said that once you enter here, you don’t have to worry about anything.

There is also medical compensation if you are sick, free physical examinations and oral care every six months, and you will be given a game cabin when you join the company. If you leave, you can just take it away without leaving it.

After reading his welfare package, Leon was silent for a long time, and then asked in the internal communication software: [How to apply for leave? 】

Xu Qingling: [We don’t have this system? 】

Leon: [You mean, you can’t ask for leave here? 】

Xu Qingling: [No, I mean if you don’t want to come, just tell any colleague. We don’t have an attendance system here, even if you don’t come for a month, it’s fine. 】

Leon: [...without asking why? 】

Xu Qingling: [The boss has said that if employees don’t want to come to work, it must be the company’s problem, so there is no need to ask for a reason. By the way, if you have anything you want, you can also contact the boss directly. The boss has always been worried that the welfare of the studio is not good enough, and your opinion will be very helpful to him. 】

Leon was silent.

When he knew he couldn't ask for leave here, he thought it was a sweatshop where even if it turned into ashes, he would have to be made into fertilizer to work.

But now it seems that this is probably a fairy company.

After a while, Xu Qingling asked: [Are there any other questions? 】

Leon: [No more. 】

Xu Qingling: [Okay, I wish you a happy work. 】

If placed in another company, this sentence would make people feel the hypocrisy of a social animal.

After all, when you go to work, you are using your life and soul to work for the boss. Selling your body and soul will not be pleasant in any way.

But now, Leon actually feels that this sentence is particularly appropriate and makes him find that going to work can really be very enjoyable.

Shaking his head slightly, Leon regretted it.

I regretted that I had never come here just to save face, and that I had missed out on so many things.

But now, it's not too late, and I can still continue to fight.

Just when Leon was about to start working, he found Xiaodouzi coming over.

The opponent is tall, while Leon is relatively thin.

Realizing that the light above his head was blocked, he swallowed instinctively, and then asked, "Excuse me, is something okay?"

Xiaodouzi looked at Leon carefully, and then asked: "What projects were you mainly responsible for at Druid Entertainment?"

"Well, I am mainly the president's assistant, but before becoming an assistant, I participated in the production of "Duty Front 4", mainly the level design and plot."

Xiaodouzi's eyes immediately lit up, and then he took out his notebook and said seriously: "That generation is my favorite. I think the level design in it is called art. So, can you sign it for me?"

"I prefer the fifth generation." Monkey came over and said, "I like the feel inside."

"I'm from the first generation." Huang Ping also joined in the conversation, "That generation is the most classic."

"Uncle Liu, you must be getting old. I heard that when people get old, they just like to play old games."

Looking at his enthusiastic colleagues, the last concern in Leon's heart disappeared.

He thought that his status as a former Druid Entertainment employee would make him ostracized, but his colleagues here were obviously not such people.

They are full of passion for games and have no discrimination or dissatisfaction with themselves.

There are no office politics, no intrigues, and no one comes to stop us even if we are chatting. The atmosphere here is really great.

Half an hour later, a group of people finally finished chatting and continued to do their work.

Huang Ping told Leon the location of the game files, then pointed to the single-person lounge and said: "You can read the files first, and then the overseas operations of "Land of Reincarnation" will be handed over to you. If you are tired, go and take a rest. Just for a moment, there’s no need to force it.”

"You gave me such an important job right out of the gate?" Leon was flattered.

"Well, the overseas operations will be yours from now on. And I have to remind you."

Huang Ping's solemn tone shocked Leon.

I knew that behind the high salary were high risks, and there must be traps that I didn't know about.

Huang Ping looked at Leon seriously and said solemnly: "When playing "Land of Reincarnation", if you feel any discomfort, stop immediately and go to the lounge to watch the movie. We have experimented with it, watching cats and hamsters Movies are the best to relieve stress. If it still feels wrong, then open the door and Sanmao will come in and let you masturbate for a while."

"What kind of weird rules is this?"

Leon frowned, and at the same time wondered if this was a joke played by the old employees on the newcomers.

Such jokes are quite common in North America. As long as they are not too excessive, the supervisor usually won't say anything.

"Believe me, this is the experience we have summed up during this period. Okay, let's get started."

Opening the document inexplicably, Leon spent a whole morning browsing the copy here, and then felt that this game was quite interesting.

The document is written in a very standardized manner, and does not use any particularly difficult vocabulary, so that people who read the document can easily get started and quickly understand how to play the game.

The documents here were completed by multiple people, and the planning of the studio was all involved. However, there is no particularly obvious personal tendency when reading. It seems that the planning here has been well cultivated.

The game industry has developed to this day and is already a highly industrialized industry. Documents with the same style can greatly reduce reading and communication costs and greatly improve the efficiency of making games.

Moreover, Fang Cheng can help realize any function of the game, no matter how outrageous the idea is, which makes Lyon know Fang Cheng a little more.

A genius programmer, a genius game producer, with a keen vision for games and a good game aesthetic. No wonder Fangcheng Studio can rise so fast.

After reading the document, Leon was ready to play the studio's new game, "Land of Reincarnation".

This game is the latest masterpiece of Fangcheng Studio. However, because it is too scary, it cannot be released domestically at present, and it has chosen to be released overseas.

The content of the game is quite mysterious. All I know is that it is a horror survival game. Players need to survive in an unknown place, then search for supplies here, slowly spend long nights, and pray for dawn to come.

Just looking at the document, Leon can imagine a dark, gloomy world with no sunlight or any hope. All the efforts of the players can only extend their lives, but in the end they will inevitably be swallowed by the darkness.

Various monsters emerge in endlessly, and players can continuously obtain various materials in this place, but these materials are problematic even for food and clothing, and it is very difficult to continue to develop.

Leon's imagination is very good. Just by reading the game's instruction document, he can imagine the general content of the game and conceive the general content of the game in his mind.

It's scary and interesting. It's really not easy to pass the test in China, but it should be very popular in North America.

Moreover, the game graphics of Fangcheng Studio have always been at the top level in the industry. Druid Entertainment has been trying to poach the art bosses of Fangcheng Studio before, and said that they can reward large bonuses even if they provide a clue. .

Unfortunately, no one has ever gotten the money.

Therefore, there has always been a legend over there that the so-called art boss was a secret weapon cultivated by Fang Cheng. Fang Cheng imprisoned him in a secret place and could only paint and model continuously every day for Fang Cheng to squander.

Some people also said that Fang Cheng was the art boss, and all the content was drawn and modeled by Fang Cheng himself.

However, this legend is not very credible.

After all, they are all genius programmers. If he can even do art, then this person can not be said to be a gaming genius, but also a gaming godfather.

Pulling back his divergent thinking, Leon started the game.

Open the client of "Land of Reincarnation", put on the headphones, and the gloomy music will sound. Together with the gloomy game screen, Leon will be drawn into that mysterious place.

Staring at the screen, Leon quietly began to experience the game without making any sound for a quarter of an hour.

"The newcomer is okay." Huang Ping, who was hiding aside, said with emotion, "I actually stared at it for fifteen minutes from the beginning. This is good concentration."

"As expected of an employee of Druid Entertainment, they are indeed well-informed." Xiaodouzi also sighed with emotion.

The monkey felt something was wrong and couldn't help but said: "Have you noticed that he seems to have been moving the mouse and keyboard."

"Maybe he's thinking about something."

"My eyes are not moving anymore!"

"Too focused."

"Breathing seems to have stopped..."

"...Save people!"

Just like that, the first day at the new company ended with Leon fainting from fright.
