General Manager's Office.

Ke Jin looked at Yuan Qiaoqing who was standing in front of him with a little embarrassment.

She was very imposing, clapping her hands on her desk, staring straight at herself with wide eyes, clenching her teeth hard, her face full of anger.

But she's not quite big.

So much so that when her upper body is supported on a 1.2-meter-high desk, her lower body still needs to stand on tiptoe to make her the same height as Ke Jin, who is sitting.

So, in order to make herself look more oppressive, Yuan Qiaoqing worked harder to cushion her feet.

"Ahem......" Ke Jin coughed dryly, poured her another glass of water, and slowly pushed it in front of her.

He smiled as if he were soothing.

"It's not because you might be busy, so it's inconvenient to bother you."

Perhaps it was this slightly raw sentence that made Yuan Qiaoqing's eyes slightly stunned.

An imperceptible gloom flashed in his eyes, and his toes that were trying to stand on their tiptoes were subconsciously flattened.

The imposing emotion on his face gradually dissipated.

There was silence for a moment before he spoke.

“…… We're us, but I'm talking about games now. ”

"You know, the reason why players love Ready Player One games."

"It is precisely because the quality is unmatched, and because the number one player has always treated every player with care, even including the global floating price launched this time, which is a testament to the consideration of other players......

Ke Jin was a little ashamed when he said this.

Well, it's not that great.

Although part of the reason is for the player, I hope that more people can feel the excellent works they have experienced in their previous lives.

But half of the reason is that I want to unlock the ultimate package......

"But now?" Yuan Qiaoqing raised his head again, and glared at Ke Jin not to be outdone: "Let a group of second-generation people intervene, it is the beginning of degeneration!" ”

Kejin: "......"

"It's not that exaggerated, is it...... Just participating in the closed beta, they can't decide too much. ”

"Why not? When I hadn't been in contact with the number one player before, I played another game, and because I had a charge of 1 million, the game company directly invited me to participate in the development of the subsequent version, and told me privately that whatever style I liked, I would try my best to satisfy my ...... Isn't this an amusement park for me? Such a deliberate game is not interesting to play. ”

"I don't want Ready Player One to do the same, do you understand?"

Kejin: "......"

All right.

No wonder this chick was suddenly so emotional, and even went all the way to the headquarters.

It turned out that he had experienced some compliments before, so he thought that the number one player was now inviting the world's rich brothers, and it was also because he was going to give them part of the rights to develop the game in the future.

As a result, I am worried that the reputation of the number one player will plummet.

Ke Jin Ke had never had this kind of thought.

So many classic IPs in his previous life have been certified by the market, and changing them without authorization is shooting himself in the foot.

Of course, there is no way to say this to Yuan Qiaoqing.

In the end, Ke Jin could only express vaguely.

can be regarded as Yuan Qiao's lighter.

However, Yuan Qiaoqing was very dissatisfied, and then said: "I didn't say that I wanted to join. ”

"I mean, you stop the whole event."

"I'll be directly responsible."

"Uh...... You......? Ke Jin said with some uncertainty.

Although I know that the little rich woman has a lot of background, she is also a rich brother from more than 30 walks of life.

Can a little rich woman take all the work on her own?

Isn't that a bit too stressful......

The opponent is Wei Wangdi, the company that holds the largest game platform of the entire Blue Star.

Just when Ke Jin was still thinking.

saw that Yuan Qiaoqing didn't know when he bypassed the desk and stood directly beside him.

"Stand up."

“？”

"Stand up." She insisted.

Although he didn't know why, Ke Jin still stood up from his chair.

It's just the moment I got up.

The petite figure threw herself directly into his arms.

A pair of soft arms quickly wrapped around his waist.

The refreshing fragrance of hair came out.

The sudden scene of "this ......" made Ke Jin's pupils enlarge incredibly.

Looking down, all you can see is the lines at the base of her hair on the top of her head, forming a cute little clockwise whirlpool.

To be reasonable, this chick is really short......

And......

It's really soft, too.

Small, soft, fragrant.

I never thought that girls would be so fragrant.

Just when Ke Jin was still thinking cranky in his heart.

I saw Yuan Qiao lightly resting his chin on his chest, raising his head, and his face flushed faintly.

Even though he was a little embarrassed, he still stubbornly refused to look away.

"This ...... This is the reward you promised me......"

"That's it...... Just hug ......"

"Of course, if you do well in the future...... I'll just ...... Hug a few more times...... Or, give...... You can also give some other rewards......"

Let's be honest.

There was a shy girl in front of her, and she was hugging herself tightly, muttering in a low voice that would move any man if he heard it.

The lethality of this scene was so powerful that Master Ke's brain was a little dizzy now.

I don't know what's going on.

Women mess with my heart!

Women mess with my heart!

After hugging for a while, Yuan Qiaoqing let go of Ke Jin as if he was a little reluctant, lowered his head and whispered very shyly.

"That'...... That's it. ”

"You cancel the event, and I'll take care of those things for you."

And then ...... When it's done, I'll ...... again I'll reward you a little more......"

Speaking of which, maybe even Yuan Qiaoqing himself can't stand this too ambiguous scene.

The heart was beating violently, and it was about to burst out of the chest.

Such an active and bold behavior, even if she has a cheerful personality, she can't stand it once she does it.

Not to mention doing it a few more times......

Her face was already flushed by this time, and her eyes were a little misty.

He took a few deep breaths quickly, and glanced at Ke Jin, who was still in a state of confusion and stood in place.

With her head bowed, she hurriedly left the office.

……

Ready Player One, Office Lobby.

A group of employees were still whispering to each other.

Quickly chatted about various emergencies in the boss's office.

But it didn't take long.

Maybe three minutes.

Maybe five minutes.

No more than 10 minutes anyway.

I saw the beautiful little Lori who rushed into the office just now, and pushed the door handle out again.

Suddenly, there was silence in the office hall.

All the employees pretended to be serious.

Then he secretly looked up at the little Lori.

Well, pretty is indeed beautiful.

But......

It's just why my face is a little flushed.

The eyes can even overflow with water.

The face is full of sweetness and fragrance.

As if the more he thought about it, the happier he became, he quickly left the third floor.

And Qiao Yuan also walked to the door of the office at this time.

On the grounds of closing the door for the boss, he took the opportunity to scan the situation inside.

I saw Mr. Ke sitting on the office chair with blank eyes, as if even his soul had been squeezed dry.

Qiao Yuan couldn't hold back after closing the door.

Secretly nodded to the curious employees.

"Hmmm......"

"Hiss!!"

Suddenly, the sound of gasping cold air rose and fell throughout the company.

"! It's always awesome! Really? ”

"That's it?"

"Ke always really didn't treat us as outsiders...... Isn't this place a little too shabby......"

"The point is that that little sister is too good-looking...... And it's very young...... Are you really an adult......"

"Don't worry, there is still a little bit of proportion. That sister looks like a legitimate Lori.。 ”

"But there's one thing I don't know if to say...... It may not be more than 10 minutes before and after...... Is this ......"

"Hmm...... It's understandable, after all, work is stressful. ”

Just when a group of employees are either in awe, or thinking about it.

The carving in the house came back to his senses.

He was a little stunned by Yuan Qiaoqing's reckless behavior.

The logical relationship just now didn't go straight.

Now think about it.

Ke Jin suddenly realized a problem.

No......

Get her help yourself.

Then, she rewarded herself after she did it?

Why does it sound so weird......

Stinky Sister...... I think you just want to give out a reward!

But don't talk about it......

This chick.

"It's soft." Ke Jin rubbed his chin and tasted back.

To be reasonable, the girl can play a straight ball, which is really a bit unbearable.

Ke Jin was hugged for a moment just now, and he even thought about more than a dozen sets of arrangements for what the child's name would be in the future......

But when he came back to his senses, Ke Jin suddenly realized a problem.

"What should Xinlin do......

————

I have to say that Ke Jin still underestimated Yuan Qiaoqing.

This chick's connections are really wide.

In less than a day.

On the major Internet at home and abroad, there are already many rich brothers and sisters who support affordable games.

These rich brothers and sisters are all over the world, and there are even some wealthy royalty and nobles in small countries.

They would hold up a sign in both Chinese and English, and then say in broken English: "Please support affordable games, affordable games can allow more players around the world to appreciate the true charm of games." ”

When he learned the identities of these people, Ke Jin was dumbfounded.

And someone was even more shocked than Ke Jin.

Viwangdi Headquarters.

Connor sat in his office, his shocked expression that hadn't stopped for half an hour.

He stared blankly at the collection of affordable game videos that his secretary had arranged for him.

looked at the brightly dressed celebrities.

There are some aristocratic and wealthy families who even he has to look up to.

But he actually stood in line collectively and spontaneously and expressed his position.

The Connorians are numb.

What kind of power is this......

Don't say much.

If a luxury brand can invite so many upper-class celebrities in one go.

The person in charge of any brand will probably wake up laughing from a dream.

But what they're promoting now isn't luxury.

It's not even a single game......

It's a core value – a call for more affordable games to be available on the market.

This is the complete opposite of what I have been building up before.

And in terms of influence, the influence of these bigwigs from all walks of life is even greater.

A small number one player......

How did you get it?

But soon, according to what the secretary has gathered.

These bigwigs all have a figure behind them......

A girl from Huaguo named Yuan Qiaoqing.

Her identity is:

At present, the world's top 20 giant enterprise "Dongzhi Technology Group" chairman and the highest speaker Yuan Wencheng's daughter.

Dongzhi, a technology group focusing on the field of AI, has been developed after 20 years of science and technology due to its early layout.

Today, the company has partners all over the world.

From artificial intelligence to military aerospace AI, they all come from the hands of this Dongzhi Group.

Especially in recent years, after the rise of artificial intelligence and the deep binding of civilian technology.

The market value of Dongzhi Company has risen even more wildly, and there is even a faint posture of leaving Pingguo behind.

For such a large company that may change the direction of the national market in the future.

There are all kinds of business elites around the world who don't want to take this ride.

Pingguo directly regards Dongzhi as his firm strategic partner, and he can't wait to tie it directly to Dongzhi.

Such a company.

Why stand for Ready Player One?

A reasonable explanation can only be ......

The number one player may be an unknown subsidiary of Dongzhi?

Thinking of this possibility, cold sweat instantly trickled down Connor's forehead.

There was also some weakness in the eyes of the secretary.

After swallowing hard.

Only then did he reluctantly speak.

"You...... Let's stop all the previous announcements......"

"This opponent...... Far from the ...... we can overcome now"

————

Time flies.

Half a month later.

Viwangdi unilaterally announced the divestment of the Nplay platform and the sale of all remaining shares to the number one player.

A month later.

Player One successfully consolidated all remaining shares and completed the acquisition of 100% of the Nplay platform.

And renamed the Nplay platform to "Runaway Player"

Began to drastically rectify the charging standards of its games.

It is divided into nine levels of discount stalls of 10%~90%.

Whether the merchant makes a discount or not depends on the game manufacturer itself, and the number one player does not intervene.

However, once the discount stall feature is launched.

In order to get more profits, some small factories will spontaneously start to reduce prices.

Major manufacturers will also follow suit and choose to carry out discount activities during some holiday periods.

The daily activity of runaway players on the platform has increased from about 30w+ per day.

After Kejin's first-hand reform, it jumped to a single-day stable 100w+ online rate.

Many players have heard that the discount on this platform is very large, and they have come to visit.

Just when runaway players are frantically absorbing the traffic of the DFgame platform.

Wei Wangdi couldn't sit still.

Proceeded to kick out the original CEO, Connor, and replaced him with a new president.

The new official took office and did not choose to continue to work against out-of-control players.

Instead, he lowered his posture and imitated the current tactics of out-of-control players.

It also maintains its own losing market through a large number of platform offers.

It can barely be regarded as stabilizing DFgame's reputation that has plummeted in recent months.

But this slippery kneeling appearance also caused ridicule from a group of players.

They all said, 'Why did you go before?', 'I asked you to think about the player earlier, you didn't listen, and now you're woken up by a slap', 'Okay, good, the number one player did a good job!' ', 'Single-handedly stirring the benign development of the entire game market, the only true god of Kebao!' 'The past is the past, the present is the present, and the back is forgetfulness.' ’

With the gradual low-key stealth of Viwangdi, the big drama of the number one player and Viwangdi has gradually come to an end, and the heat has returned to the beginning.

Blizzard headquarters.

An urgent meeting began between the top management.

The number one player is now firmly rooted in the Omics market.

The next move, as expected, will basically begin to slowly eat away at the share of the game market step by step.

As one of the world's largest game manufacturers, Blizzard has to ring the alarm bells when looking at the number one player who is approaching step by step.

After a meeting of the high-level leaders.

Summing up the experience of Weiwangdi's failure.

Too much contempt for the opponent.

even thinks that marketing alone can turn over the number one player.

Judging by the results, this idea couldn't be more wrong.

"The number one player has proven that quality is greater than marketing. The old way is gone. ”

"However, even if it is compared to the quality, we are not afraid of blizzards at all." Sitting in the middle of the conference room, Blizzard's current CEO, Mead, concluded after waiting for the high-level discussions.

"Judging by the current layout of the number one player, their next game should still be the open world genre."

"Because the genre is so inclusive, and Elden Ring is a great proof of that."

"It can even blend in with fragmented narratives, with Hakoniwa modes, with RPGs, with ACT, or all sorts of other modes."

"If I were an engraving designer, I would definitely not let go of the open world, which is a hot genre at the moment."

"After all, while runaway players have developed steadily, the next game is clearly a move to lay the foundation."

"So, our next game, also do open world! Compete head-to-head with the number one player! Mead made the final decision, then stood up, looked around, and spoke in a loud voice.

"In terms of our more professional, more sophisticated, well-staffed, experienced and excellent team structure."

"As long as we don't underestimate the enemy, it is impossible for the number one player to surpass us on the open world track!"

Mead's analysis hit the nail on the head.

The type of open world, because it's too inclusive.

It can almost be called inclusive.

Therefore, Blizzard's new game is heading towards the open world, and you can't go wrong.

As for the number one player.

If they don't do the open world, it is equivalent to dividing the cake that they bring out by themselves to others.

They do it.

Excuse me.

All the elite designers of Blizzard, ready to go, go all out!

It is bound to break down your number one player and firmly stabilize the cards of the world's major manufacturers!

I don't believe it, in the case of absolutely not underestimating the enemy, we Blizzard can't compare to you as a small number one player!

————

"Okay, you've had enough rest, guys." Player One headquarters, regular company meeting.

Ke Jin looked at a group of high-level officials.

A thick stack of game design proposals was thrown out of his hand.

In the face of the thickness of the proposal, everyone has become accustomed to it.

"This is a project for a new game, so this time we can do it a little slower and finish it in less than half a year. It is required that all aspects of the details are polished more exquisitely. ”

"Alright, there's nothing else to say, adjourn."

After a few brief words, Ke Jin strode out of the conference room.

Leaving a group of high-level executives to come forward and circulate the plan to each other, roughly flipping through it.

The details are as always, and the plan is densely packed with everything.

After each department goes back, it only needs to carry out a detailed division of labor.

type, or open world.

The name of the game is written directly on the cover of the proposal.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
