03. Impossible mission

Three days later, Bu may have come to Linjiang Road in the city as promised, and found the address on the business card given by Liu Zifu.

It is a small high-rise commercial building. Seeing the nameplates of many companies hanging on the wall of the lobby downstairs, I can vaguely perceive that there are many commercial companies stationed in this building.

I took a closer look at the business card in my hand, and the address in it only said 1001 on the tenth floor, and I didn't even have a specific company name.

When Bu may have come to the elevator, a group of young employees wearing black professional women's uniforms have just squeezed into the elevator compartment with a smile.

After a moment's hesitation, Bu may still have squeezed into the elevator as well. Although he had seen a lot of various OL women from a certain country in the East, this was the first time he had experienced such a large-scale crowd standing in front of his eyes.

There are all kinds of fragrance and body odors in the nose, and you may not help but feel a little embarrassed. Fortunately, that group of OL didn't take the little fresh meat in front of them seriously at all, and still laughed and talked about it, as if he was transparent air.

Dingqing was set, and the tenth floor was soon reached.

As soon as you get out of the elevator door, you will be greeted by a conspicuous company signboard. Although the decoration is very elegant, the step may be a little suddenly frightened by the name of the company:

"Filipino Online Game R&D Center"!

"Inhuman"? Suddenly, Bu may have remembered Zhou Xingxing's famous movie "Kung Fu". Isn't there a supreme master Fire Cloud Evil God there, imprisoned in a "Abnormal Human Research Center"!

The situation in front of me, for no reason, feels very similar?! All of a sudden, Ayuki may feel a chill in his back.

Of course, after half a day, Step may know that his instantaneous instinct is not wrong. The people here are indeed some abnormal human beings, trying to do something impossible within the scope of normal human beings.

At the entrance of the company, a wooden screen is set up in front of it, on which there are eight small seals of ancient calligraphy "Water can carry a boat, but also can overturn a boat." ”

Step may suddenly be a little puzzled. These eight words, if they are hung in the office of an ordinary civil servant, it is normal. What is the relationship between the development of this online game and these eight words? !

Dong Xiaowan, the contact person on the business card, politely and politely received Bu Possib's visit.

Bu may soon know that Miss Dong Xiaowan Dong is actually a senior sister from the same college alma mater as him. She has been with the company for almost two years. may be the reason why "fellow villagers see fellow villagers, tears are in their eyes", a special emotional alumni bond from the same alma mater soon made Dong Xiaowan extremely enthusiastic about the step.

Under the guidance of Dong Xiaowan, the entry procedures for the temporary internship were quickly handled. I've also met with all my colleagues in the company. None of the dozen young men and women of the dozen men and women appear to be over the age of 35. They simply welcomed his arrival.

"Step possible?! This surname seems to be very rare! It seems that they were surprised by the possible last name of Bu.

"No! Isn't the famous Bu Jingyun surnamed Bu, who doesn't know?! Step may shrug his shoulders and wave his hand. Then everyone laughed together and was very sunny.

In the midst of all the pleasantries, Bu may have noticed that there were five or six of his colleagues, who always seemed to look worried and worried.

One of my own office cubicle seats was also arranged. Without it, a square lattice with a desk and chair, plus a desktop computer. It's just that there is one thing in this seat that stands out. It's a lot like a special wall-mounted electronic desk calendar, with a prominent number "180" on it and a normal display of the year, month, day and time below.

The step may have looked around, left and right, back and forth. In the lobby of the room where I am located, there is a sign that reads "Game Planning Department". The five or six colleagues I saw just now are all working in this office area.

On their seats, they also have this special wall-mounted electronic desk calendar. It's just that the numbers above are different, showing "44", "35" and so on.

"Does that mean anything in particular?" Ayumi may have been keenly aware of this detail and couldn't help but ask.

Dong Xiaowan raised a finger to his mouth and made a silent gesture. Then, she took her steps to a small conference room in the company.

The two sat down facing each other.

"The number you just saw is a countdown marker. If you can't complete the required work tasks within 180 days, when the time comes, you can only pack up your package and leave the company. This is also the main reason why some colleagues in the planning department are full of sadness. Dong Xiaowan finally said explanatory. Her brow furrowed slightly, as if a hint of worry had passed through her.

And, handing him a few sheets of A4 paper, she said:

"This is your job description for 180 days. In the game planning lobby, all of you have the same work task. You'll need to curate a massively multiplayer game that provides a completely innovative overview of the overall idea, as well as providing as much detail as possible. ”

Step may have carefully scanned all the text requirements on the A4 paper, and then said in shock:

"How is this possible?! It's simply an impossible task!! There's no way anyone can do it!! ”

Looking at the harsh terms of the written assignment in front of him, Step may have collapsed weakly in his seat.

"There is a saying that man will conquer the sky! You can do it! You have a total of 180 days. Dong Xiaowan's tone of voice was a little weird.

"Senior Brother Bu, you must be mentally prepared to leave your post after 180 days. I've been working here for two years, and I've been coming and going, coming and going, and I've never seen anyone who can complete this idea planning task. ”

But Mr. Liu never gave up. You know the exquisite chess game that Tou Xuzhu solved in "Dragon Babu", right? Mr. Liu said that if the opportunity is ripe, there will always be a genius who will appear in time and solve this exquisite puzzle to complete this special task. ”

"Three years ago, Mr. Liu's only son, in our alma mater, was addicted to games and abandoned his studies, and half of his subjects failed. For the sake of Mr. Liu's school director's face, the school did not immediately dissuade him, but only gave him the punishment of probation. Mr. Liu was furious when he heard the news. After a violent scolding, Mr. Liu's son was in a trance and ran away from home. He was in a car accident while crossing the street and died. ”

Mr. Liu, who was very sad, always said that it was the evil online game that killed his precious son. So, he insisted on developing a new game that had never been seen before, so that it could be used to save thousands of misguided college students. This is his ultimate heart problem, and it is also the reason why he keeps looking for all kinds of high-end game talents to come here to work as a game planner. ”

"Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat. This is a mantra that Mr. Liu likes to say. Liu is always a person who likes traditional martial arts novels. He often said that even if something highly poisonous is like the love flower in "The Condor Hero", within ten steps of it, you can always find the intestine-breaking grass used as an antidote. Therefore, in the development of ideas, it is necessary to fight poison with poison. The best antidote to young people's addiction to games is not to stop them from playing, but to replace all the old online games with a new type of online game. ”

"When Pingguo Company appears, the giant of Nuojiya, which once dominated the world, will naturally have to fall!" While Bu may continue to study a few pieces of paper in his hand, the enthusiastic senior sister Dong Xiaowan revealed a lot of private information to him in private.

Step may finally understand the reason why Liu Zifu is so insistent on developing online games. It turns out that this is not just a rich man's rich willfulness, but to remember his beloved son. And being hired here to work temporarily is just a trip to jump into the pit.

Of course, opening such an online game development company is nothing more than a pediatric for a billionaire like Liu Zifu.

For the cruelty of online games to college students, Step may have a deep feeling. Because, he was also addicted to it for almost a year. In this year, all kinds of tea and rice are not thinking, forgetting to sleep and eating, and exhaustion, of course, that is certain.

When the conversation was over, Step probably returned to his work cubicle seat.

Looking at the few pieces of paper in his hand, he fell into a long deep thought. According to the written requirements at hand, this is clearly an impossible task.

Requirement 1: The main audience is all college students across the country. The theme of the game must be in line with their universal entertainment psychological needs, green and healthy.

Requirement 2: It must be easy to understand, easy to use, and must have a viral automatic transmission effect. It is necessary to try to achieve the popularity of the market such as "All People Steal Vegetables" or "Plants vs. Zombies".

Requirement 3: Only a symbolic fee can be charged, and the thin wallets of college students cannot be emptied in a different way. In the game, it must not be the main theme of showing off wealth, but to promote positive energy.

Requirement 4: Don't delay too much spare time for college students, lest their studies be wasted.

In the eyes of the step, except for the first requirement can be understood, the other requirements are simply fantastical.

For example, requirement two, high-profile games such as farm stealing vegetables and plant fighting zombies can only be said to be unattainable, how can they be so easy to develop?!

Requirement three, it is almost both **** and to set up the archway, which is fundamentally contradictory. Although Bu may also be disgusted with games that are constantly changing tricks and fees, if the online game development company does not start from the profit as the starting point, how can there be too much energy and enthusiasm to make a beautiful game?!

Requirement four is even more incredible. Is there any game that doesn't take up a lot of your time?! Without hard work, how can there be harvest?! What game doesn't use the usual long upgrade stream?!

After thinking about it, all kinds of common online games in my mind have passed through my mind, but I may still not be able to find any game on the market, and it can be developed with the current idea development requirements, which is worthy of the number and touch.

A morning passed quickly, and the little penguin in the bottom right corner of the computer was flashing.

This is Dong Xiaowan's meeting in the company's business communication group, reminding all colleagues in the company that they can make private orders for lunch. There is a special catering company that will deliver customized lunches to the company.

After ordering a roast goose lunch box, Bu may have chatted casually with his colleagues in the group for a while, and learned some other things.

For example, Dong Xiaowan is the company's financial director, and her other identity is that of a concept artist. For example, only the colleagues in the game planning department are part-time part-time employees, while the colleagues in other departments are permanent employees.

If you can't come up with a convincing game planning proposal at the end of the time, the ending will be the same for anyone in the game planning department:

YOU-ARE-FIRED. )

This is a popular mantra in the popular American reality TV show "Flying Yellow".

This must be the first job in my life, right?! Of course, it is absolutely not tolerated to be used as a final stop by this mantra.

Step may be thinking in his heart.
