Chapter 10: The Restless Eve
dot
"Dear players, thank you for your support, our beta has come to an end today, and I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated in the beta again."
As the announcer's sweet thank you speech came out on the radio in the venue, a group of players in the venue also stretched their waists and stood up one after another. The waitress dressed in black maid costumes, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed forward with smiles and handed over the questionnaires one by one. These players also took the ballpoint pen handed over to them with ease, and wrote down the trial feelings and improvement suggestions on the fourth day on it.
On the face of it, today's questionnaire is the same as the one from the previous three days. But if someone flipped the paper-sized questionnaire over and looked closely, there was a small black dot in the bottom right corner that looked like a printer's ink had smeared.
If this small black dot is scanned with a special card reader, it will get a name.
This name is the name of the player who is now holding this survey form and writing a book to try out his feelings and suggestions for improvement.
Half an hour later, the "Opinion Form was sent to the head of the development section and the head of the sales section. Unlike yesterday, on each page of the comment form, the name of the player who filled out the comment form is indicated, and how he participated in the test.
The two section chiefs flipped through today's survey opinion form with bated breath, and they inexplicably felt a sense of pleasure in their hearts: Hehe, damn spy, I want you to have nowhere to hide today!
"How could such a strange thing happen! Monsters attack each other, too? Today we teamed up to explore the new map, and we found that there was a white fox with seven tails named Inaba Red Fox Wife hunting the rest of the monsters there! No matter what kind of orc soldier it was, or the giant buffalo Uyoka, they were all sucked in front of this white fox and strangled with seven tails! In the end, the seven-tailed fox who only saw a ghost sneered at us Sensen, "
"Is there a mistake in the end?" today we went to the weapons shop to repair equipment, and found that the blacksmith in the repair shop had fallen to the ground, and a monster named Infernal Boy was squatting on the ground and gnawing on the blacksmith's hand! Oh, my God! This kind of scene is too bloody, right? Do you want to make Final Fantasy a disgusting game like Silent Hill? ”
"How is the whole city of the sea Nisham today? Lominsari is gone? There are no receptionists in the prop shop and the hotel, how can I replenish them! Instead, all sorts of Japanese-style monsters are shuttling through the city, these monsters are too powerful for us to defeat them, and besides, without supplies, it makes it impossible to play. Is this a monster siege that you guys made? But this level of monster is not something that players can fight at all! What the hell are you developers thinking!! ”
"What the hell are you designing? There are Japanese-style monsters everywhere, but isn't this the world of Final Fantasy? Do developers see too much weird talk? ”
"I strongly demand that your company apologize! Today, for a whole day, I went out to solve the task, and as soon as I got out of the city gate, I met three clay puppets, and the clay puppets also held a flag in their hands, which read: Daylight! Are you alluding to Amaterasu?! Please give an explanation, otherwise I will inform the Folk Culture Department of this incident! ”
Unlike yesterday, when I saw the feedback from the opinion form, the two section leaders had just opened the investigation form a few days ago, and they were greeted with complaints and abuse from the players. Compared to those heartfelt words of praise yesterday, it is simply a heaven and an earth.
"What are these bastards talking about!" The head of the development section couldn't hold back his face, "What kind of infernal boy, nine-tailed fox, and daylight, where did they come up with these messy terms!" ”
"Are you sure your men really didn't make these monsters like Hundred Stories into the game?" The head of the marketing section cautiously reconfirmed.
"I swear in the name of my grandfather, Kazukosuke Kaneda! I will never let go of this group of guys who slander us indiscriminately! The head of the development department glanced at the head of the sales department, and suddenly popped out such a classic line.
This joke is not big or small, which eases the atmosphere a little.
"Hehe, that's good, let's see what channel these guys got in!" The sales section manager laughed as well, and began to look up the names of the guys who were making up the game questions and their identities.
"Maki Aida" senior "player, is the "middle fire god Ifrit server of the largest guild of the night dew bitter chairman of the sales section looked up at his colleagues, his face was a little bitter. "It's normal." The head of the development section patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "The president or master player of this kind of big guild is generally already in commercial operation, and accepts bribes from rival companies to collect information
Speech. This is all very normal
"Osamu Hoshino" is an avid Final Fantasy enthusiast who has collected all the Final Fantasy works from the Nintendo Red and White Era to the Wangchi Dynasty, including the first edition, limited edition, anthology, and remastered versions.
"Depraved! Maybe it's because of money, and selling his hobby to business, that's the sorrow of us human beings," the head of the development department didn't know what to say, and to be honest, he was saddened by the depravity of this hardcore who had always supported his company's products.
"Rancho Yoshida"... The head of the sales section of the editor looked at the name and felt his heart beat faster.
"No, it won't! Join... All the editors of Tong have been bought? ”。 The head of the development section was also short of breath.
The two of them glanced at each other and thought in unison: If this is really a conspiracy sent by a competitor to make trouble, then how much energy will the opponent who rules and implements this conspiracy have!"
"This matter is no longer at a level that the two of us can handle." The head of the development department stood up suddenly, ran towards the door with small steps, and said, "I'll go to the president right now and report this problem to him!" ”
"Wait"
Just as the head of the development section had already twisted the doorknob and was about to go out, there was a dry call from the head of the sales section behind him. The head of the development section stood still in confusion and looked back at his colleagues.
The sales section manager looked at him with straight eyes and didn't speak for a long time.
"Are you,Are you really sure that those so-called,Japanese-style monsters,It's really not in the game?" The head of the development section nervously clasped his hands together, and his joints turned a little white because of the excessive force.
The head of the development section stared at each other deadly, his face gloomy as water.
"You, you're questioning my professional ethics! , the head of the small development section slammed the door and rushed out directly.
The sales section manager sighed deeply and sat down in his chair in great confusion.
"Bang".
The door was pushed open again.
The head of the sales department looked up in amazement and looked at the head of the development department who was going back and forth.
The head of the development section leaned against the door angrily, glared at the other party viciously, and said coldly after half a sound: "Okay! You won.,I'm going to arrange for people now.,Retrieval all the monster information in the warehouse.,If I find out that someone really secretly joined these inexplicable Japanese-style monsters in the game,That,",They're waiting for seppuku! ”
The sales section manager's eyes lit up, and he didn't speak, but just made a "thank you" gesture.
The door was slammed slammed again.
Then, the sales section manager immediately picked up the phone and hurriedly began to call.
"Hello President! I'm Mitsui from the sales class"Well, I'm sorry to bother you at dinner time, but it's an urgent situation. So have to report back to you."
As expected, the president was extremely shocked, and the sales manager lost no time in reporting himself and the manpower to thoroughly verify the development code, as well as track down the identities of these suspected commercial spies, and other measures to report to the boss, and of course got things such as "You handled it very well, and then I will leave it to you to do it!" and so on full of appreciative encouragement.
After hanging up the phone with a smile on his face, the sales section manager immediately dialed the number of the executive department.
"Hey? It's me, the sales class, and I'll be assigned people right now, and I'm going to the test site tomorrow."
No matter how the development manager reassures and loses his temper, the sales manager will never fully believe in his words, and after so many years of immersion in the workplace, he has long learned to grasp a qiē firmly in his hands, and see and hear with his own eyes and ears, which is what he can really believe. Therefore, on the one hand, he encouraged the development section manager to work overtime to find out if these strange Japanese-style monsters were really added to the game, and on the other hand, he immediately stepped up his efforts to dispatch people to the test site to personally confirm whether these players were commercial spies assigned by competitors to cause trouble, or whether there were really those Japanese-style monsters in the game at the test site!
At the same time, he got rid of the development section manager who was supposed to report the situation, and turned to report to the boss himself, and successfully gained the trust of the boss and the decision-making power to control the entire situation, which is a perfect strategy!
After all the plots were settled, the sales section manager let out a long breath and relaxed the tense heartstrings a little.
He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, opened the blinds and looked outside, the sky was full of stars, and the night was getting colder and colder.
Tonight is destined to be another sleepless night. C
